Scripture is Elohim's recorded revelation to mankind. Scripture is without error regarding both the physical and the spiritual. The central theme of Scripture is Elohim's relationship with mankind. Scripture guides us in truth, righteousness, and understanding of life.
Elohim created the heavens and the earth. The act of creation was accomplished in a seven day period almost 6,000 years ago. This creation is currently under a curse due to mankind's disobedience and it will wear out and be destroyed. There will be a new heaven and a new earth.
This creation was culminated by the creation of mankind on the sixth day. Mankind was made from the dust of the earth and given the breath of life. Mankind was created for a purpose.
Mankind has been given free will and is therefore able to choose to obey or disobey the Almighty. When Adam disobeyed and ate of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil he, all his descendants, and the world fell under a curse and lost the close relationship that had existed with the Creator. Today we live in a world that shows the scars and effects of that curse. Our own lives also show the pains and effects of the curse as well. There has been one judgment by water which is evidenced by a worldwide flood and there will be another judgment done by fire.
The answer is basically 'no' because our salvation directly depends on accepting Yahshuah the Messiah as Savior and Redeemer. However, our understanding of the Messiah's role as Creator deepens our understanding of life and builds our relationship with Him. Therefore, the answer can become 'yes' because anything that makes us doubt Scripture or that destroys such understanding is yet another thing that threatens a person's accepting Messiah as Savior.
