Health Note - Inactivity

Beloved,

 I wish above all things that thou mayest...be in health,..

 3 John 1:2

"A new study reveals that specific changes in the brain caused by muscle disuse are linked to cognitive decline.
A recent study found that just 10 days of physical inactivity can lead to insulin resistance and early brain changes linked to Alzheimer’s

disease. The research highlights how even brief periods of muscle disuse can negatively impact both physical and brain health.
Booth and Kerr found — for the first time — that just 10 days of physical inactivity leads to both insulin resistance and an increase in reactive oxygen species production in the hippocampus, the region of the brain involved in memory and learning.
They also found that just 10 days of muscle disuse elevated markers for specific proteins in the brain that are strongly associated with Alzheimer’s disease, an uncurable, irreversible, neurodegenerative disease that has become the fifth leading cause of death in older adults.
Booth said that decades of previous research have shown that people who show the greatest improvements in their health are those who switch from getting no exercise to getting periodic exercise — even more improvement than those who switch from periodic exercise to regular exercise — so the most important step is to simply start."

Why the Tower of Babel event is Significant

And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. Genesis 11:5

"The Babel event is crucial for several reasons:

--It demonstrates human rebellion: The tower of Babel illustrates

humanity’s tendency to rebel against God’s commands, seeking to establish their own authority and unity apart from him.
--It explains linguistic diversity: It provides a Biblical explanation for the diversity of languages, which aligns with the observable linguistic differences we see today.
--It explains the foundation for nations: The dispersion at Babel set the stage for the formation of different nations and cultures, all descending from Noah’s family.
*The Tower of Babel serves as a reminder of the futility of human pride and the importance of obedience to God."

Q: Could the end times chaos include an impacted moon? Interesting Possibility....
Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. Luke 21:26

"A recently discovered asteroid, 2024 YR4, sparked the first-ever

global alert from the International Asteroid Warning Network after it showed a small but real chance of hitting Earth in 2032.
Meanwhile, the latest data and calculations have brought out a new, although smaller risk: there is currently a chance of the asteroid impacting the Moon instead.
“Should the asteroid impact the Moon, the Earth-Moon system could be clouded with particles detached from the Moon and the asteroid, potentially threatening the human space infrastructure and operations,” explains Academy Professor Karri Muinonen." SciTechDaily

Creation Moment 4/6/2025 - Core teaching of evolution

Because that, when they knew God, they glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 

Romans 1:21

"The core teaching of evolution is that genetic differences exist in all life-forms which are selected due to the survival of the fittest reality. Some of these differences allow the animal an edge in the competition for life which enables them to outcompete those animals without this slight advantage. 

An example is the evolutionary claim that some of our ancient pre-humans had a slight advantage in intelligence, consequently, they were able to outcompete their slightly less-intelligent brethren. By this process, after eons of time, the dumb australopithecines were able to evolve into the intelligent humans existing today.

Condemning the basis of eugenics negates the core of how evolution works. If there are no genetic differences that affect survival, there cannot be evolution. As one textbook stated, No mutations (genetic differences), no evolution. 

I asked the Google AI engine, “Is it correct to say that if there are no genetic differences that affect survival, there cannot be evolution?” The answer came back, “Yes, that’s correct. Without genetic variation that affects survival and reproduction, there can be no evolution by natural selection, as there’s nothing for natural selection to act upon.” An AI query agreed with this idea that evolution.

All eugenics does is to allow humans to attempt to copy natural selection and select the more evolved humans to reproduce and, concurrently, to prevent the less evolved from reproducing. As Darwin explained, artificial selection by breeders selects for specific traits, as also does eugenics. Galton recognized this similarity when he read Darwin’s work on evolution, motivating him to found the eugenics movement. If evolution is untrue, then eugenics is also untrue.

Consequently, as creationists have repeatedly done, by disproving evolution, we are also negating the core idea of eugenics."

IN the NEWS - Secular Brown University calls for Sunday Sacredness

The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. Isaiah 24:5

"The Brown Daily Herald, the newspaper serving the Ivy League Brown University community in Providence, Rhode Island, ran an

article in which it called for Sabbath rest to be “enforced” and said that it must be “communal,” meaning that a day of rest must be imposed by force upon all members of the community. This is, in theory, the very essence and meaning of a Sunday law. The university’s community newspaper doubled down on the enforcement of the Sabbath by claiming that sacrifices must be made even if it inconveniences other people.

The Brown Daily Herald expressed the following:
• “On Sunday afternoons, I would go to church with my friends and spend the rest of the day with them playing cards and making dumplings.”
• “To observe the Sabbath day is one of the Ten Commandments. However, in my experience, it’s the one commandment that

Christians, myself included, don’t even make an effort to keep. We live in a culture that prizes the hustle and devalues rest.”
• “The Sabbath must be enforced, and it must be communal. Forced rest might seem like an oxymoron, but just like exercise or study, rest is something that should be done regularly, even when it isn’t convenient. Put it on your Google Calendar. A 24-hour day of rest is ideal — my Sabbath is noon on Saturday to noon on Sunday — but if you can’t do that, take 12 hours. Take three hours. Like any commitment, the Sabbath entails sacrifice.”

The enforcement of a false day of rest through civil legislation will trample on the rights of conscience, compelling everyone to conform to a false system of worship under the threat of economic and social sanctions. 

This is the very definition of the mark of the beast.
True worship can never be legislated, and the Lord’s Sabbath is a sign between Him and His people, a sacred rest that stems from love and conviction, not coercion. "

SDA Issues - Why some align with the Secular Left

The city of confusion is broken down: Isaiah 24:10

"As a means to both awakening and preparing recent generations, our denomination, including endless independent ministries, have devoted significant resources to the melding of Biblical eschatology and current events.

And yet multitudes of Adventists live in fear of the assumed possibility for over correcting religious extremism and thus attempt at combating the metaphorical labor pains of our end time events. 

By aligning with morally depraved secular movements that are agnostic to religion, family values, or freedom of conscience, many Adventists are ironically attempting to prevent tribulation.

Adventist evangelicals regularly preach and debate in opposition to

Christian Nationalism and Religious Conservatism. In essence, we so fear the labor pains of Earth’s final hours that we live to delay its event. The time of tribulation is inevitable. No individual, denomination effort, or world alliance will prevent the time of trouble. Like the expectant mother, the time we spend in preparing ourselves (and the world) for the impending trials will pay greater dividends that any effort to subvert them.

And yet we know we will lose our protections via opposition from Government and Public Consensus.
I would argue (as well would the masses that fought Covid mandates), that it is via the mechanism of coercion that such foundational principals will be attacked the easiest. Recent years have proven to us (2) primary principals are in play:
One,  the Executive branches of Governments (State and Federal) have demonstrated a moral detachment from the obligation to carry out the laws of the land or even as interpreted by the superior Judicial Branches. Whether it is the result of executive discretion and purview or simply an executive order by fiat, Executive branches have wandered far outside the legislative confines they are afforded and the effort to reign it in is more challenging as lower courts are polarized along party lines. It can take years for judicial correction to occur and by then the damage has long been realized.
Second, as stated by Rahm Emanuel (circa 2008/2009), then President Barack Obama’s Chief of Staff: “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things that you think you could not do before.” 

Though he is not the author of that sentiment, he was the first prominent official to verbalize the strategy. Under the emotional fervor of a crisis, logic suspends, and mob rule can be manipulated. The Greater Good intentionally targets compliance by mob/societal coercion. Where nothing else matters and not seeking the Greater Good is an attack on all compliant civilians and their liberties.

During the Covid crisis, the Executive branches illegally took actions beyond their authorities, and it took years to roll them back. Those who stood in defiance of the vaccine mandates were not in vaccine denial or failing to understand the efficacy that vaccines have had to curtail diseases for over 200 years, but in opposition to the coercion being employed. Last I checked there is not a Biblical principle that aligns with coercion. In fact, Biblically, we are presented with an image of our Lord and Savior waiting at the door and knocking.

For some Adventists, the journey towards the end of time appears to be marked with hypersensitivity to possible sources of tribulation and tone deafness to the coercive efforts abounding in society. “… then the followers of Jesus must prepare for a life-and-death struggle. 

 The authority of the church, combined with the authorities of the nation, set themselves to work to cripple the conscience—to be themselves conscience for everybody” E.G.W.

Yet our march through eschatology need not be that of a blind martyr. Biblical precepts supported by the Spirit of Prophecy guide our discernment of the true Greater Good, that empowers the individual Spiritual development and growth of conviction. This is distinct from the Greater Good that seeks to benefit egocentric humanism."

IN the NEWS - National Geographic Misrepresents the Flood

And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth. Genesis 7:17

"The second episode of National Geographic’s series Lost Treasures of the Bible explores the archaeology of ancient Mesopotamia, primarily the ancient city of Uruk. 

The narrator asks the following questions: 

Q: What did Uruk look like during the time of the flood and what did the landscape look like? 

Q: Could the Euphrates River be responsible for a “great flood”? 

Q: What were the roots of this legend?

In this episode, National Geographic opened the program with a summary of the Biblical account but quickly turned their attention from the Bible and the details it recorded and focused instead on the Epic of Gilgamesh, the Sumerian kings list, and Eridu Genesis as primary sources of information.

Tablet XI of the Gilgamesh epic records a massive flood that destroyed all living things except one man (Utnapishtim) and his family on a vessel that he was instructed to build. The city of Uruk, according to this tablet, was established before the great deluge and then was rebuilt with Gilgamesh being one of the many rulers after the catastrophe.

National Geographic next looked at an ancient record of the kings of

Sumer. The Sumerian kings list contains the name of Gilgamesh. If Gilgamesh was a historical figure, he would have reigned over Uruk after the flood (according to the Biblical timeline this would be shortly after 2300 BC).

The “great deluge” is mentioned in multiple ancient texts such as the Atrahasis Epic, the Eridu Genesis, and the Sumerian story of Ziusudra. National Geographic views the account in Genesis as no different than any of these other ancient myths and therefore categorizes it as a mythology with some aspects of reality embedded within.

National Geographic assumes that the biblical account of the flood was derived from earlier myths. Since National Geographic holds to a naturalistic worldview that rejects the supernatural, they seek to fit the archaeological and geological evidence into their own framework. They assume that the flood of Noah was not global because these ancient texts describe vessels that would not withstand a flood of that proportion.

However, the Biblical account is very clear and precise in its wording that the floodwaters covered the whole earth, and not a living creature was left that was outside the ark."

Creation Moment 4/5/2025 - Language Makes Humans Human

And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. Genesis 2:19

"Of all the animal world, only humans have the ability to perceive current circumstance in 

--the context of time and space, 

--make moral judgments about right and wrong, 

--and therefore be culpable for intent, which requires premeditation. 

Man’s ability to reason is one aspect that fundamentally sets this “rational animal” apart to uniquely reflect the imago Dei (image of God). 

Finite human rationality is responsible for these differentiating

characteristics, which will be demonstrated to be necessarily dependent on language. 

Language, then, becomes a necessary but insufficient condition for thought, serving as the fabric or material out of which rational thoughts are constructed. 

*Our worldview, in a global sense, is consequently constructed out of our accumulated knowledge, which is based in language and thereby circumscribes our worldview’s boundaries. Denied language, then, man’s ability to think would be reduced to immediate, animal-like reasoning.

However, our ideas are both described by and constrained by the words we have available to define and describe those ideas. 

Only by way of language are we able to form higher-level cumulative thought.

Language gives man the unique ability to recast the immediate in light of a larger context by framing current circumstance in the context of time, space, relationship, principles, and logic."

Mother of Harlots

"The word Babylon comes from Babel and signifies "mixture, confusion." 

We read of Babylon the great, the mother of harlots, etc. Protestant commentators agree that this "mother" is the Catholic church, 

Q: and if so, who are the "harlot daughters," but the various Protestant sects? 

A: If "the woman" singular [Revelation  17:4] be a symbol of one church, (Catholic) then, "women" plural, are symbols of CHURCHES. The Catholic church is a unit the world over. But when we consider the hundreds of Protestant sects, with all their discordant theories, we cannot avoid the conclusion that they belong to the Babylon of the Apocalypse."

Creation Moment 4/4/2025 - Evidence Against Evolution SERIES: The age of the earth

For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, that is, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, being understood by what has been made, so that they are without excuse. Romans 1:20 NASB

"The story about the age of the earth has grown in the telling. However, fossils commonly show evidence of rapid burial in water-carried mud—as in a great flood. 

Consequently, the rock layers containing these fossils were not laid down slowly and gradually—so fossils do not give support to the millions of years so widely taught today. 

The Bible tells of a great global Flood, and people groups around the world have their own stories of such a Flood. 

A global Flood would have created vast amounts of water-carried sand, silt and clay, burying plants and animals and creating layers of rock containing fossils—and all very quickly. 

Furthermore, there are many different evidences against a vast age

for the universe. For example, the rate of erosion of the earth’s continents, Saturn’s rings—evidence against an old age, because they are decaying so rapidly. the decay of the earth’s magnetic field, the lack of helium in the atmosphere, the number of people on earth, the brevity of recorded history, the persistence of spiral galaxies, the amount of salt in the sea, soft tissues in dinosaur fossils, the existence of short-period comets, and much more.

Well, then, someone may wonder, why do so many apparently well-educated people believe in evolution? People may believe in evolution and dismiss creation because: 

1. They are ignorant of the facts, only ever having heard the case for evolution. There are many like this. 

2. They deliberately choose to deny the rightful place of God in their lives. God has told us that none of us has any excuse, because the evidence is right under our noses, so to speak (Romans 1)."

Creation Moment 4/3/2025 - Evidence Against Evolution SERIES: Fossils

For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, that is, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, being understood by what has been made, so that they are without excuse. Romans 1:20 NASB

"The fossils do not show that one kind of organism has changed into

another. There should be millions of intermediate types of fossils showing the transitions, if evolution had occurred. 

There are a handful of disputed ones. Claimed evidence of fossils linking different kinds of organisms does not stand scrutiny.

As Dr Colin Patterson of the British Museum of Natural History said, “there is not one ... for which you could make a water-tight argument.”

Furthermore, there are many hundreds of types of creatures in the fossil record which are still present today. Jellyfish, starfish, and snails, for example, are present in rocks supposedly hundreds of mil lions of years old and yet they are very like the ones we have in the oceans today. Things breed ‘true to their kind’ just like the Bible says."

Lesson of Matthew 18 on Justification by Faith

"That justification by faith, or the pardon we receive while on probation, is a conditional pardon, is proved by our Savior’s words in Matthew 18:23-35. 

Here is presented the case of a servant who owed his lord ten

thousand talents; but having nothing to pay, and manifesting honesty of intention, 

Matthew 18:27 The lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt. 

But this servant met his fellow-servant, who owed him the trifling sum of two hundred pence; and who pleaded for mercy in the same terms in which the first had so successfully pleaded be fore his lord. But this servant would not show mercy; he thrust his fellow-servant into prison till he should pay the debt. Hearing of this, his lord called him, and said unto him, 

32-34 O you wicked servant, I forgave you all that debt, because you desired me: Should not you also have had compassion on your fellow-servant, even as I had pity on you? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.  

This we say is the Bible view of forgiveness in the gospel, or justification by faith, while we are waiting for the decisions of the Judgment."

IN the NEWS - Poll on the "Trinity"

QUESTION: ...when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? LUKE 18:8

"An overwhelming majority of Christians reject the basic Christian teaching of the Trinity, prompting new concerns that Americans are living without the influence of “the truths and life principles of God.”
The Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University released the latest installment of its American Worldview Inventory series which documents Americans’ views on the Trinity. The research is based on responses collected from 2,100 adults in

January.
Overall, just 40% of respondents believe that God exists and affects people’s lives. That figure rises to 53% among self-identified Christians, 60% among theologically-identified born-again Christians, and 100% among Integrated Disciples. The latter term refers to those who have a biblical worldview. While a majority of those surveyed (59%) believe in the existence of Jesus Christ, a significantly smaller share of adults (29%) believe in the Holy Spirit.
Slightly more than 1 in 10 respondents (11%) believe in the Trinity, that the God of the Bible is “three distinct but inseparable and equal persons in one infinite Being.” The persons in the Trinity are God the Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.
Belief in the Trinity, characterized by the Cultural Research Center as a “fundamental tenet of Christianity,” increases to 16% among self-identified Christians, 24% among theologically-identified born-again Christians and 62% among Integrated Disciples.
“These results are further evidence of the limited or lack of trust Americans have in the Bible, the limitations we place on the authority and influence of God, and our refusal to cooperate with God by living in harmony with His ways and purposes,” said CRC Director of Research George Barna in response to the survey results. “Even the statistics for the groups that are most in-tune with biblical teachings, such as belief in the nature and impact of the Trinity, are shockingly low for a nation in which most people claim to be Christian.”

Creation Moment 4/2/2025 - Evidence Against Evolution SERIES: Mutations?

For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, that is, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, being understood by what has been made, so that they are without excuse. Romans 1:20 NSAB

"Mutations—random changes in the genetic information— are supposed to generate new information so that new features such as legs, feathers, brains, eyes, and so on, could ‘evolve’. 

However, random changes in information do not create new meaningful ‘paragraphs’, or ‘chapters’, of information. 

--They only corrupt it. 

--Mutations destroy; they do not create. 

They are known by the diseases they cause in humans (e.g. cancers).

Antibiotic resistance in bacteria is not due to an increase in meaningful information due to mutations. In all mutations studied, there has been a loss of function causing the resistance—for example, loss of control over the production of the enzyme that breaks down penicillin so that much more of this enzyme is produced. Sometimes information has been acquired from another type of bacterium, which then enables the recipient to resist the antibiotic. Mutations will never produce the new complex information needed for evolution to proceed.

Furthermore, research has revealed many examples of features in

living things that are made up of highly complex parts where every part has to be present for it to function at all. They cannot be simpler and still function.

It is not possible for small step-wise mutations and natural selection to create such systems because a series of functional intermediates is impossible. 

Examples are the bacterial flagellum, the blood clotting system, the ATPase ‘motor’, the signaling system in cells, the DNA–coded protein synthesis system, etc."

The Atonement and the Stability of God's Government

SDA Issues: GospelTruth.ai?

Q: Should pastors base, and have AI write, sermons from an app?
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 

2 Timothy 2:15

"In a recent episode of 3ABN Toda the Three Angels Broadcasting Network, Wintley Phipps introduced a new tool, GospelTruth.ai, designed to assist Christians in their study of the Bible and sermon preparation. 

This artificial intelligence application is specifically trained to provide Biblically accurate responses and generate complete sermons, distinguishing it from mainstream AI models such as ChatGPT, which, as Phipps noted, often reflect a mix of secular and religious perspectives.
Phipps expressed concerns about conventional AI models, which he likened to the “tree of knowledge of good and evil.” He pointed out that these models pull information from both secular and religious sources, leading to responses that may not always align with Biblical teachings. 

When discussing theological topics such as the Sabbath, he found that mainstream AI often presented conflicting or nonbiblical viewpoints, requiring extensive back-and-forth to align the response with Scripture.
To address this challenge, Phipps and his team developed GospelTruth.
GospelTruth employs a proprietary linguistic search algorithm that deeply mines Scripture and related texts, producing fresh, in-depth perspectives each time a user requests information."

Creation Moment 4/1/2025 - Evidence Against Evolution SERIES: Limits to variation

For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, that is, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, being understood by what has been made, so that they are without excuse. Romans 1:20 NSAB

"The breeding of animals and plants shows that there are strict limits to how far selection can go—whether it be artificial or natural.

 Breeding of pigs will never make them fly! 

Nor can natural selection grow feathers on a reptile! 

Things were created to reproduce true-to-their-kind, just like the Bible says in Genesis chapter 1. 

The limited amount of natural variation drives modern molecular

biologists to try to take genes from one kind of organism and get them to work in another kind. It’s all about transferring information, and much intelligence is applied to do this (with many failures!). Natural (non-intelligent) processes cannot, and therefore have never, created anything containing meaningful information."

Relating to God's Government

For God shall bring every work into judgment, 

with every secret thing, 

whether it be good, 

or whether it be evil.

Ecclesiastes 12:14

"Our relation to the Government and our relation to the means of our restoration, should be considered with great careful ness and candor.

1. Treason is the highest crime

He who commits murder takes a life, but he who seeks to subvert the law, seeks the destruction of life’s safeguard, of that which is to protect life by preventing and punishing crime. 

Hence, it is the aggregation of all crimes. 

2. The Government has the sole right to free therefrom

By this is meant that the Government has the sole right to dictate the terms or conditions by which rebels may be restored to citizenship. This is true, also, in regard to all crimes for which pardon is desired. And this right, Government ought to exercise. No criminal has any right to dictate the terms of his own pardon, or the means by which he may be restored to the favor of the Government. 

3. He who will not accept the conditions is a traitor still

If the Government has the sole right to dictate terms to rebels, which all must allow, then the transgressor can only change his relation to the Government by accepting those terms; and if he refuses to accept them, he, of course, persists in maintaining his position in rebellion.

Therefore two things must be required of a transgressor or rebel, which only can be accepted, to wit: 

(1) UNQUALIFIED SUBMISSION TO THE LAWS WHICH HAVE BEEN TRANSGRESSED, and, 

(2) A HEARTY ACCEPTANCE OF THE PLAN OR CONDITIONS OFFERED FOR HIS RESTORATION."
