"Evolution"

There is one type of evolution (e.g. apes to humans) which is completely false and dishonoring to God. However, there is another type (e.g. environmental adaptation) which is perfectly plausible and actually demonstrates the genius in God’s creativity!

Likewise, when it comes to our faith [in Yeshua], we should not “evolve” to the point where we completely abandon our beliefs and jump from one religion to another. Nor should we be ever-changing within our own faith and believing each new thing that sounds good for the moment (Ephesians 4:14).

However, “evolving” in our understanding of the Messiah is perfectly healthy and encouraged! The Apostle Paul wrote about us “being conformed to the image of His Son” (Romans 8:29). In this sense, we should definitely be changing and growing. In fact…if you still believe, think, speak and act the same way today as you did 3 or more years ago, you should probably be asking yourself some probing questions.
