My daughters beliefs are troubling me

[MisterHistory]

Greetings friends, first let me introduce myself I'm 45 years old and I've spent my whole life practising the teachings of our lord, I grew up in a loving Christian family on the God given soil where we farmed cotton to make a living off. My father left the family business to me and I married the love of my life and had a beautiful daughter. However a few years ago my wife God bless her soul passed away after a terrible farming accident took her life. Ever since that my daughter Grace has never been the same, she started to skip bible study lessons and refused to be home schooled any longer.

Thinking she would find her way again if I gave her a bit of freedom I allowed her to go to a real school, however the nearest Christian school was many hours away so I had to enrol her in a local public high school. For the first month or two things seemed alright until she started to act weirdly, she would bring books home from her school library and she started to read those so much that she regularly forgot to read her daily bible chapter (it's a little house rule here) I approached her about this and she would say things like "I don't feel like reading the bible anymore, I've read it enough" this worried me deeply.

Recently things have started to go far out of hand, I found out that this school has been teaching her things that go against the facts of the bible. She would say crazy things about the earth being billions of years old when it has been proven beyond a doubt by the word of God that it is only thousands of years old. She also started to make outlandish claims about something called evolution, saying that animals changed from other animals over time and that man didn't always walk upright needless to say I was shocked to hear her spout such nonsense. She has even said ludicrous things like the universe was started by a "big bang" and that everything is made up of "matter" and "particles"

My daughter has been lead away from the indisputable word of god that is an absolute fact. I fear for her safety and her soul, every day I pray for her and try to get through to her but she is just slipping further and further into this heresy that she calls "science", what should I do to put her back on the path of the lord? How do I get through to her and purge her soul of these evil demons?

Secularism doesn't mix well with Christianity. In the case of the age of the earth, even Christians debate this.
Much of Christianity holds that the earth is a little over 6,000 years old.
However it's possible that millions of years passed between Genesis 1:1; and Genesis 1:3;
Some hold that this is when the first day to the sixth day actually started.

The age of the earth isn't one of those things that salvation depends on.
However creationism is. Most schools teach evolution. That life just randomly/spontaneously happened.
If there is no creator, there is no God.

It is extremely difficult for children/teenagers/young adults to go through school/college without
being influenced by secular teachings. Prayer and the Bible have been taken out of the majority of schools now.
Things like "relative truth", and "diverse acceptance", and "self exploration" are taught and encouraged.
You often here phrases like "free-thinking", however in every case I've heard this, a new "thought" has already
been assigned to your agenda.

I doubt there are any public schools still teaching creationism. If so, they are very few.
In any case, I don't think her salvation depends on how old the earth is.

There is another thought that God created the earth to purposely look millions of years old when He
created it. It may only be 6,000 years old, but to science... it appears to be millions of years old.

The Bible and science should not be at odds with each other, in fact God created this world for man to "study" because there in we can see the invisible things from creation through what was created by God, even his eternal power and God head can be seen in what was created.

Rom 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

I am a born again Christian, filled with the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues, yet I also believe the earth millions if not billions of years old. This is what I see in scriptures and have proof of what I believe. If we talking about Genesis 1: 2 onward then yes the earth is only thousands of years old. The earth existed way before Genesis 1:2 which was were Lucifer ruled on earth before it became dark, and void.

What are you praying for her now? Claim the covenant blood over her each morning. and Pray the Word over her..For example.....

Because of the love that Your Holy Spirit has given me, I do not cease to pray, and to desire that (daughters name) might be filled with the knowledge of Gods will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; That(daughters name) might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and long suffering with joyfulness; Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made (daughters name) fit to be a partaker of the inheritance of the saints in light:

(Colossians 1:8-12 AV)

That the God of our Lord Jesus, the anointed one and His anointing, the Father of glory, may give unto (daughters name) the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:

The eyes of my (daughters name) understanding being enlightened; that she may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of His mighty power,

Ephesians 1:17-19 (King James Version)

If God promised it you don't have to beg for it. It's already yours. So you can speak words of faith over your daughter. Back up those words with scripture. You can even speak scripture over her. It's a done deal.
