Love

Today I want to talk about Love, What is it? How do we as Christian's express love, etc. All throughout scripture we are told to Love. Whom are we to Love? Well, the first commandment is to love the Lord with all our heart,soul,mind,and strength (Mark 12:28-30). We are to Love our neighbors as ourselves.
(Lev 19:18, Gal 5:14,  James 2:8), the stranger (Lev 19:34),
Our enemies by blessing, doing good to and praying for them, we shouldn't recompense evil for evil nor should we avenge ourselves because vengeance belongs unto the Lord. That's why if our enemy is hungry/thirsty we should help them. (Matt 5:44, Luke 6:27-36, Rom 12:14,17-21).

Theistic Evolution

Theistic Evolution is the belief that God used the processes of Evolution to make the world. From a young age children are indoctrinated through public schools and media (aka kids dinosaur books, etc), that the earth is billions of years old, created by natural processes, and that dinosaurs lived and died off millions of years ago. While many children at the same time are brought to Sunday school and taught that God made the world in just six days. Some Christians wish to hold to both Darwinian Evolution and the Bible as truth. To do so two theories have been created to aid this endeavor.
The day-age theory - which states that the days of creation week were not literal 24 hr days but vast ages of time (millions/billions of years).
The Gap theory- Creation week was six literal days but there was a gap of time between 2 distinct creations between the first and second verse of the bible (Genesis 1:1,1:2), this is where the billions of years fits in.

There are several key problems with these theories that I would like to address
