Either are permissible, and I'd actually probably fall in the old earth camp, although God is fully capable of creating a young earth appearing old for our wonderment and enjoyment. 2.) Spot on 3.) I'll find people to help :) 4.) I also talked about the extent of our sin offending a holy God, His requirement of blood as a sacrifice to pay the penalty of sin, and His perfect provision of that sacrifice. 5.) True confession comes from a transformed heart, so it flows out of God's work in us. The external action of confession helps to heal and restore. 6.) Spot on 7.) Perfect 8.) I should probably just hire you :) Pretty well!

"Young earth." (though I myself am an old earth) 2. "Down the hall on the right." 3. "Please see the person in charge of that. They are standing right over there." 4. "God's righteousness requires our sin to be atoned for through Christ's sacrifice. Otherwise we cannot be in His perfect presence." 5. "Confession is not part of our salvation, rather it is part of our sanctification that comes after salvation. The end result is our redemption at the Second Coming of Christ." 6. "No. Have you asked the people in your Missional Community? Also try listing it on The Austin Stone Classifieds page on Facebook and let me know who responds." 7. "Tithe your time and any small amount of money with which God blesses you." 8. "How do you love your wife unconditionally as Christ loves the church?" So, Todd, how did I do? 1. “Young earth.” (though I myself am an old earth)
2. “Down the hall on the right.”
3. “Please see the person in charge of that. They are standing right over there.”
4. “God’s righteousness requires our sin to be atoned for through Christ’s sacrifice. Otherwise we cannot be in His perfect presence.”
5. “Confession is not part of our salvation, rather it is part of our sanctification that comes after salvation. The end result is our redemption at the Second Coming of Christ.”
6. “No. Have you asked the people in your Missional Community? Also try listing it on The Austin Stone Classifieds page on Facebook and let me know who responds.”
7. “Tithe your time and any small amount of money with which God blesses you.”
8. “How do you love your wife unconditionally as Christ loves the church?”

So, Todd, how did I do?
