Well to say a little background first as most of you know I have recently left the PC (USA) (within the last 3 months to be exact though I had always felt "uncomfortable" there) and have never, truly, had cause to really question the varied understandings of Genesis 1. Firstly in my OT01 (Winter 06-07, Intro to OT: Genesis-2nd Chronicles) at PTS I was first presented with the many varying positions concerning this, none of which I had heard before and prior to this I was a not concerned really about the question of creation at all. In that discussion in OT01 I thought it would be prudent to pick one of the options so I became a Framework person. Seemed the most logical given "scientific evidence" and all. Well I actually decided to research Framework a little more and found it wanting. So after that I had been in limbo until tonight. I must say I have always "wanted" to believe in 6/24 but never had the intestinal fortitude to do so.
Well in class tonight (ST 41, Westminster Confession) at RPTS taught by Dr. Wayne Spear we went over Chapter 4 concerning Creation. As I was listening to the lecture I was reading the Scripture references in my WCF (which happens to be the one in the OPC clothbound edition) and my eyes were opened and it became very clear to me that 6/24 was correct and the Confession plainly teaches it.
