Dear Jack,
I need to pick up on this paragraph that you sent to Paul, but which is clearly of relevance to any believer:
A Christian who does not believe the litteral
interpretation of Genesis and conveys such to a new Christian runs the risk of
being a 'stumbling block' to him. If the new Christian thinks it is OK to
interpret the Bible as one feels, then how will he know what is OK and what
isn't? When the time comes for us all to give an account of our lives, the
worst that can happen to me is that God could say,"Nice try Jack, but I'm not
quite that clever - 6 days does not give me too much time, however thank you
for your support, even if it was a bit OTT". However the theistic
evolutionist could be admonished for not giving God credit for creation and
causing others to go astray (to hell that is) through his liberal Biblical
interpretations.
There are something of the order of 28,000+ sects/schisms/divisions/..., call them what you will, under the Christian banner. Are not all of these interpreting the Bible in their own way? Emphasizing certain verses and ignoring others? To suit the ends of the "church" to which they "belong"?
What about non-Christians? They reject the Bible either in whole, or at least in large parts. Are they all off to "hell," in your opinion?

Dear Paul,
...
Here's a philosophical thought for you to be
going on with.
A Christian who does not believe the litteral
interpretation of Genesis and conveys such to a new Christian runs the risk of
being a 'stumbling block' to him. If the new Christian thinks it is OK to
interpret the Bible as one feels, then how will he know what is OK and what
isn't? When the time comes for us all to give an account of our lives, the
worst that can happen to me is that God could say,"Nice try Jack, but I'm not
quite that clever - 6 days does not give me too much time, however thank you
