It's ALL About Reflecting HIS Character

This is what it is all about.....
This is what God is looking for in your Judgemt....
"Those who "overcome the world, the flesh, and the devil, will be the
favored ones who shall receive the seal of the living God
" (Testimonies to Ministers, p. 445).
In order to "bear a likeness to Christ in character" (7BC 970), we are exhorted to study "more earnestly the character of our Savior."...."holiness of character" (Testimonies to Ministers, p. 446). Indeed, the cleansing of the "soul temple of every defilement," will produce characters without "one spot or stain" (Sons and Daughters of God, p. 342; Testimonies, 5:214).
Those who receive God's seal upon their foreheads are "God's commandment-keeping people." "Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus" (Revelation 14:12; Testimonies, 6:15)."

Creation Moment 9/25/2026 - Pointing to the Creator

"The Bible makes it clear that consciousness exists beyond the physical. As Acts 17:28 states: “For in Him we live and move and have our being.”
A Biblical worldview confirmed all along that consciousness is not confined to neurons but participates in divine reality. 
While the scientific method may not be the most efficient way to investigate the depths of such a reality, at least opening the conversation about consciousness beyond the brain, and by extent, beyond the physical, may be an opportunity for broader engagement on the limits of materialism, as one step closer to a clue about the grandeur of a reality that points to the Creator Himself."

IN the NEWS - The "Seminarian" Senate candidate who likes Drag

And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. Genesis 6:5

"Texas Democrat and U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico is at it again. This time, video footage has surfaced of his "favorite" drag queen teaching minors how to dance, with the midterm elections just weeks away.
Talarico was approached during a campaign event earlier this week and asked to name his favorite drag queen.
Talarico didn't even hesitate: "Oh, my gosh. Probably Alyssa Edwards."
Having an answer to that question on hand is disturbing enough, but it's not nearly as troubling as the person he chose.
Edwards, also known as Justin Dwayne Lee Johnson, has been an outspoken proponent of youth drag shows and has publicly bragged about "working with children," according to an exclusive report by Fox News.
"Libs of TikTok" posted a resurfaced video on X from Netflix's 2018 docuseries "Dancing Queens" Wednesday, showing Edwards
coaching minors and referring to one of them as his "mini-me.
"

"Oh, I cannot wait to see what his future holds for him," Edwards said. "Although I see my mini-me, Justin Johnson in a million years never could have been that at nine years old."
The Dallas Observer reported in 2018 that Johnson was referring to J.J. Garza, one of the few male children in the group.
At one point, Garza dressed up like Edwards and pranced around, earning the drag queen's praise.
Brandon Gill of Texas rightly pointed out that "It's completely bizarre for any 'man' to be able to instantly name their 'favorite drag queen,' let alone the name of any drag queen at all."
Talarico presents himself as a “Presbyterian seminarian," yet in an unearthed clip from 2021, during an interview with a “TransQueer” activist, Talarico said: “I always think of myself as a Christian who hates Christianity, right? And, like, I always get drawn back into it.”
That same year, he called God “non-binary,” and he has implied that Jesus Christ was a “radical feminist.” When it comes to biological sexes, he proudly declared there were six genders, before realizing his campaign was spiraling and meekly walking it back.
In addition, Talarico has bragged about being part of a church that was “active” in LGBT rights, and which housed an illegal alien family to prevent them from being deported by federal authorities." msn

Creation Moment 9/24/2026 - Sign of Allegiance to the CREATOR

But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: 
Exodus 20:10

“Pointing to God as the Maker of the heavens and the earth, it [the
Sabbath] distinguishes the true God from all false gods. 
*All who keep the seventh day signify by this act that they are worshipers of Jehovah. 
*Thus the Sabbath is the visible sign of man’s allegiance to God as long as there are any upon the earth to serve Him.”

From the "Really File" - (Hollywood Decadence in Full BLOOM)

And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. Genesis 6:5

"
Orlando Bloom is dishing on his “sincere” threesome scene with Rooney Mara and Kate Mara in “Bucking Fastard.”
The “Lord of the Rings” actor discussed the intimate moment while presenting the film at the San Sebastián Film Festival in Spain
alongside German writer-director Werner Herzog.

“There is such simplicity to the characters and their carnal desires, but also an innocence to the sisters,” Bloom, 49, said, according to Variety.
Bloom plays Gareth Mulroney, a “sensitive” man who finds himself caught between twin sisters Joan and Jean Holbrooke, played by real-life sisters Rooney, 41, and Kate, 43, respectively.
“Bucking Fastard” is loosely based on the lives of identical twin sisters Freda and Greta Chaplin, per IMDb.
From the "Really" File

Bloom added, “My character, the ‘Bucking Fastard,’ is sensitive too, and he’s quite quickly out of his depth in some ways.”
He said the threesome was a “very sincere sort of moment” that he, Rooney and Kate created together.
Herzog, for his part, also weighed in on the scene, explaining that there are times when a director “has to step back.”
Herzog, 84, described the moment as “beautiful,” adding that the scene has “such charm and depth.” msn

Creation Moment 9/23/2026 - Reversing Genesis 1:2

"This illustrates a common Biblical principle: a judgment is a
reversal of creation
. So the Flood reverses the events of Genesis 1 where land and sea were separated. And Jeremiah 4:23 speaks of a judgment so severe that it's like reversing the creation back to the unformed and unfilled state of Genesis 1:2 (And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.)."

Endtime Dual of the 2 days: Sabbath vs. Sunday

"Two days at either end of the week will be a token, [Seal of God vs. Mark of the Beast] a sign, an avowal, a seal of allegiance to one power or the other.
The Sabbath will be an outward sign of an inward experience. God’s people will not be willing to die for the Sabbath but rather be cause they love the Lord of the Sabbath. Jesus said, “if you love Me, you will keep My commandments” John 14:15 ESV."

Creation Moment 9/22/2026 - Redundancy of Genesis 1

 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.  
Genesis 1:5
"God, through the 'pen' of Moses, is being redundant for redundancy's sake. God is going out of His way to tell us that the 'days' of Creation were literal solar days. He has used the word yôm and combined this with a number and the words' morning' and 'evening.' God has communicated the words of Genesis 1 in a specific manner, so that the interpreter could not miss His point. God could not have communicated the timing of creation more clearly than He did in Genesis 1." Stambaugh, 1991

What is the Seal of God?

"What is the seal of God?" As life continues on as usual from day to day, scarcely any attention is paid to the seal of God.....arguments that the seal of God is the Sabbath was that the Sabbath commandment contains the characteristics of a seal. 

A seal, she observed in our early days and reiterated many years
later, is attached to a law to show the
name, title, and authority of the lawgiver. The Sabbath commandment can therefore be considered a seal because it "is the only one of all the ten in which are found both the name and the title of the Lawgiver. It is the only one that shows by whose authority the law is given. Thus it contains the seal of God, affixed to His law as evidence of its authenticity and binding force" (Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 307).

If the Sabbath is the
seal of the living God, what is the seal that the angel will place in the forehead (And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. Revelation 7:2-3)? 
The seal to be placed in the forehead is a mark which angels, but not human eyes, can read; for the destroying angel must see this mark of redemption."

Creation Moment 9/21/2026 - They don't agree....

Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out... Isaiah 42:5

"
Physicists can’t agree on how the universe works (ScienceDaily, 13 September 2026). Citing a landmark survey led by the Perimeter Institute and University of Waterloo and published in Physics Magazine, the largest worldwide survey of physicists on this topic ever conducted shows that experts are hopelessly divided on fundamental questions about how the cosmos works.

The Consensus Mask
For as long as I can remember, we’ve been told that scientists agree: modern astrophysics has reconstructed cosmic history with high-precision certainty. 
--The survey results, however, make it clear that “scientific consensus” on a variety of fundamental issues is an imaginative ideal that isn’t even being approached, except for one notable exception:
The Standard Model of cosmology (or Lambda Cold Dark Matter)
failed to secure majority support among surveyed physicists. Recent observational surprises (such as shifting dark energy signals from DESI) have left theorists scrambling.
Dark Matter: Only 17% back the standard hypothesis of an undiscovered low-mass particle. 12% think gravity equations need rewriting, while the largest single bloc (21%) can only suggest “some combination” of conflicting guesses.
Quantum Gravity? After nearly a half-century of hype, String Theory managed 19% support. Loop Quantum Gravity took 12%, while 18% think gravity cannot be quantized. Others, like Sean Carroll, abandon fundamental spacetime altogether, trying to conjure gravity out of pure quantum abstraction. See below.
Cosmic Inflation? Alan Guth’s unobserved hyper-expansion engine, concocted to save the secular origins story from its horizon and flatness problems, was one of the rare items to achieve a majority at 51%.
**We agree! The solitary point of solid agreement was telling: 68% agreed that the Big Bang does not represent an absolute beginning of time."

The Agent of Sanctification

"Paul wrote that the Holy Spirit is the agent that sanctifies the heart:
“
But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth.” (2 Thessalonians 2:13).
It is the Holy Spirit who trans forms the life and leads us to obey God’s law."

Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things,.... Isaiah 40:26

"The Naturalists have been engaged in thinking about Nature. They
have not attended to the fact that they were thinking
. The moment one attends to this it is obvious that one’s own thinking cannot be merely a natural event, and that therefore something other than Nature exists. The Supernatural is not remote and abstruse: it is a matter of daily and hourly experience, as intimate as breathing.

Symbol of The Cross

And, having made peace through the blood of His cross, by Him to reconcile all things unto Himself; by Him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. Colossians 1:20

"The cross is one of the most universally recognized symbols in the world. And honestly, 
most of us really like the idea of the cross—as long as someone else is on it.

It was
an implement of torture, a symbol of supreme humiliation, and
a curse. 

Yet, Jesus Christ—innocent, flawless, and perfect—embraced it.

Through the
cross, He made peace between the Creator and the creation. He took the world’s greatest symbol of shame and transformed it into the world’s greatest symbol of love."

Creation Moment 9/19/2026 - The two books laid before us to study

It was never said, "Fear not, big flock"

"Many false and apostate churches have received aid from the State, as notably the Roman Catholic Church, the Greek Church, and others that might be mentioned ; but the true church has never been recognized by
the State, and was therefore never in a position to receive aid from it. 
---The church to which the State gives its aid and sup port is always the largest and most powerful within the limits of the State. 
The State has no spiritual discernment, and naturally looks upon numbers, wealth, and influence as credentials of Divine favor and authority ; but they are far from being such in reality. 
--The true church was never the greatest in numbers, or the most wealthy, or influential. To the true church it is said, "Fear not, little flock ; it is My Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom;" (Luke 12:32) but it was never said, "Fear not, big flock."

Creation Moment 9/18/2026 - Information and YOU

For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible,... all things were created by Him, and for Him: Colossians 1:16

Information = DESIGN
"Information is not meaningful simply because it exists or because it is improbable. It becomes meaningful only if there exists a system that can interpret it and use it to perform a function.
Q: What do a software engineer, an information theorist, and a
biologist have in common?

It is not simply that the AI possesses vast amounts of information. 
A library can contain vast amounts of information without being intelligent. 
Rather, the AI would have expanded the set of functions it can perform by making a scientific discovery that no previous system had achieved. Therefore, the defining characteristic of a generally intelligent system (or AGI) is not that it can perform existing functions, but that it can generate new functional capabilities that were not initially part of the system and were not transferred from another system that already possessed them.
But this immediately raises a deeper question:
Q: What allows any system to acquire capabilities it did not previously possess?
Information only becomes useful when some system can use it to perform a function."

Under Surveillance

Lead me, O LORD, in Thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make Thy way straight before my face. Psalms 5:8

"Very bitter is the enmity of the world against the people of Christ. 
--Men will forgive a thousand faults in others, but they will magnify
the most trivial offence in the followers of Jesus.
--If we live carelessly, the lynx-eyed world will soon see it, and with its hundred tongues, it will spread the story, exaggerated and emblazoned by the zeal of slander.

The cross of Christ is in itself an offence to the world; let us take heed that we add no offence of our own.

In the presence of adversaries who will misrepresent our best deeds, and impugn our motives where they cannot censure our actions, how circumspect should we be! 

Not only are we under surveillance, 
but there are more spies than we know of. 
The espionage is everywhere, at home and abroad." 
Charles Spurgeon

IN the NEWS - Christians in Algeria Go Underground

Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept My saying, they will keep yours also. John 15:20

"Following Algeria’s closure of nearly all evangelical churches in waves of repression that began in 2017, Christians have been forced underground in what they describe as an internal exile, sources said.

Christians in the 99-percent Muslim country gather discreetly in
homes, garages or under olive trees, isolating many who are deprived of regular spiritual guidance. Some turn to the internet and social media, where heresies proliferate, thus fostering internal divisions, the spread of false teaching and the rise of conflicts.


Despite such challenges, some Christians express gratitude to God, viewing this period as a spiritual cleansing to build stronger and more mature churches.

One church leader continues to serve by visiting families in various villages to offer moral and spiritual support. Like all pastors mentioned in this story, his name cannot be published for security reasons." Morning News

Creation Moment 9/17/2026 - Sabbath of Creation

For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. Exodus 20:11

"Some have argued that the Sabbath in Genesis is different from the
Sabbath that God gave to Israel. 
*However, this is not tenable because there are several commonalities between the Genesis and Exodus accounts. 

In both: 
✓ The Sabbath is a memorial of creation
✓ The Sabbath comes after six days of labor
✓ The Sabbath is the seventh day of the week
✓ In both accounts God rested and then blessed and sanctified the seventh day."

Bible Study not to be conducted like the "scholars"

"It is the first and highest duty of every rational being to learn from the scriptures what is truth and then to walk in the light and encourage others to follow this example. 

We should day by day study the Bible diligently, 
weighing very thought and comparing scripture with scripture. 

With divine help, we are to form our opinions for ourselves as we are to answer for ourselves before God.

The truths most plainly revealed in the Bible have been involved in
doubt and darkness by learned scholars who with a pretense of great wisdom teach that the Scriptures have a mystical, a secret spiritual meaning not apparent in the language employed.
These are false teachers. It was to such a class that Jesus declared, "
Ye know not the
scriptures, neither the power of God.
" Mark 12:24.

*The language of the Bible should be explained according to its obvious meaning unless a symbol or figure is employed. 
If people would but take the Bible as it reads, if there were no false teachers to mislead and confuse their minds." 
E.G.W.

Creation Moment 9/16/2026 - Idolatry and natural selection

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1). The Creator of all things is the Lord Jesus Christ, who has no equal in authority and status. The first two commandments reiterate that this high position is His alone: “You shall have no other gods before Me. . . . You shall not make any . . . likeness . . . . You shall not bow down to them nor serve them” (Exodus 20:3, 4).

Darwin’s clever link between idolatry and the evolutionary worldview is natural selection and the concept behind that term. Scientists initially criticized natural selection as a personification. As a science historian explains, “One source of trouble was that Darwin liked the term ‘natural selection’ because it [a mental concept] could be ‘used as a substantive governing a verb [a real agent that can act]’ (F. Darwin, 1887, vol. 3, p. 46). But such uses appeared to reify, even to deify, natural selection as an agent.”

Q: Do evolutionists invoke natural selection as a substitute creator? 
A: Let’s hear from them.
"This was Darwin’s fundamental discovery, that there is a process that is creative, although not conscious. . . . It was Darwin’s greatest accomplishment to show that the complex organization and functionality of living beings can be explained as the result of a natural process—natural selection—without any need to resort to a Creator or other external agent."

"Natural selection is a creative process that can explain the appearance of genuine novelty."

Natural selection is venerated as the creator of biology, so why not for the entire universe? As one evolutionist put it, “Charles Darwin .
. . [has] brought the entire natural world under a single law of natural selection . . . [the] starting point [of my theory about the universe’s evolution] is the remarkable theory of cosmological natural selection proposed by the physicist Lee Smolin.” It follows that “the universe could be further understood as a self-coherent and self-creating whole, without the need for anything outside itself to give it law, meaning or complexity.
”


Natural selection is idolatrous in the basest of ways. Not only does it ascribe rational powers to unconscious environmental features, like any other idol, but it also induces people not to give the Lord Jesus credit for the incredible intelligence and machinery He has built into His creatures that enable them to adapt to their environment. Consider the Lord’s declaration in Isaiah 42:8: “I am the LORD: that is My name: and My glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images” . . . or to nature as creator." ICR

IN the NEWS - Father in Uganda Beaten by Muslim Sons for Accepting Christ

Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for My sake. Matthew 5:11

"A 52-year-old Christian in eastern Uganda was recovering from injuries after his Muslim sons attacked him for leaving Islam, sources said.
In Nakalama village, Iganga Town Council, Kibirige Abumusa returned home on Aug. 9 after an extended stay in Jinja City, where he had put his faith in Christ on June 1. One of his adult sons, 28-year-old Kibirige Budallah, confronted him about his conversion, said neighbor and eyewitness Alice Naigaga.
Abumusa converted to Christianity after attending an open-air evangelistic event organized by Pastor Zakalia Sserwada of Evangel Church in Jinja City.
Abumusa’s son, Budallah, had learned about his conversion from Imam Kisige Musitafa of Jinja mosque, which Abumusa had previously attended. The imam had accompanied Abumusa to the evangelistic event, according to the friend. Immediately after Abumusa’s conversion, the imam informed Budallah, the source said.
Budallah questioned his father upon his return about abandoning Islam, calling him a kafir (infidel), and told him that he did not deserve to live because of his decision to leave Islam, Naigaga said. Budallah struck Abumusa with a stick, and his four other sons joined in beating him, said Naigaga, who took photographs of the attack from a distance before calling for neighborhood help.
By the time neighbors arrived, Abumusa was weak, bleeding from the nose and had wounds on his hands, legs and back, she said.
Naigaga said she heard Budallah referring to Islamic teachings concerning Muslims who leave Islam and claiming that killing such persons would earn the killer paradise.
Abumusa was taken to Iganga Hospital, where he received treatment for about a week. After being discharged, he took refuge at a friend’s house in another village, where he was continuing to recover.
Abumusa said he has not reported the assault to police, fearing his sons could further endanger him." MorningNews

Creation Moment 9/15/2026 - Effects of the Curse

"At the end of the sixth day of creation, God saw that everything He had made was very good: “Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them” (Genesis 2:1, KJV). The creation was now complete, functional, and interactive from heaven to Earth and throughout the waters. 

Following his temptation, man’s disobedience to God’s command regarding “the tree of the knowledge of good and evil” brought sin into this world, and with it the full force of God’s Curse fell upon the first man, Adam (Genesis 2:17, KJV). As the creation was comprehensive, so was the punishment.
This same Curse affected all of mankind during about the first 1,656 years of history, culminating in a global judgment and repopulation of Earth through one righteous man and his family.

Since then, effects of the Curse have continued into recent history.
Over the last 200 years, a progressive accumulation of philosophers and scientists have promoted a purely imaginative story: the ground (earth), all elements within it, all plants and animals made from it, mankind with dominion over it, and the vast complexity of the cosmos have evolved through a lifeless force described as nature. Therefore, Darwin’s false god of natural selection (selectionism) became an alternative creator of the universe and everything in it. Clearly, man has “
changed the truth of God into a lie” and worships the creature more than the Creator (Romans 1:25, KJV).

God’s Word reveals the true history of creation.
We never observe nature as a creative mechanism of increasing order and complexity.."

The way God phrases things

I will go before you and make the rough places smooth; 
I will shatter the doors of bronze 
and cut through their iron bars. 
I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden wealth of secret places, so that you may know that it is I, the Lord,.... who calls you by your name. 
Isaiah 45:2-3

Creation Moment 9/14/2026 - A bad worldview

Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things.... Isaiah 40:26

"In the evolutionary view, early earth was not a pleasant place to live. A recent article summarizing research on the “origin of life” described early earth this way: “Earth’s first few hundred million years brought relentless impacts, intense volcanism and an atmosphere almost entirely devoid of oxygen.” And yet this new research claims the “last universal common ancestor” (LUCA) somehow evolved a mere 400 million years after earth formed.

New genetics research—entirely based on evolutionary assumptions and interpretations of genomes—now places LUCA “astonishingly early” in earth’s history. That’s surprising in the evolutionary view, given how complex life is and how uninhabitable early earth is assumed to be. But the problem is actually worse than that because they don’t believe LUCA was the first life-form.
"The name can be misleading. “Last” means most recent in relation to all living lineages, while “universal” refers to the sampled
cellular tree. LUCA was not necessarily one individual, the only organism alive, or the first self-replicating system. It is better imagined as a population whose descendants won a vast evolutionary survival contest. . .
This boundary changes the timing implication. If LUCA already lived 4.2 billion years ago, the origin of life must be older still. The estimate does not say how much older, because lineages that vanished without contributing genes cannot be reconstructed from modern genomes."

In other words, our supposed last common ancestor evolved 400 million years after earth’s formation, but before it evolved, other life-forms surely must have evolved and died out, leaving just LUCA to continue evolving; so the origin of the very first life-form must have occurred even closer to the origin of the earth. Even with over 4.5 billion years to work with, evolutionists are running out of time!

This is why many evolutionists now believe that life didn’t evolve here on earth at all but rather was brought here from a distant planet, either intentionally by aliens or by lucky accident. But that just shifts the same problem to another planet! So the answer to a lack of time for life to have evolved here is to push the origin of life out into the universe where there’s more time (in the evolutionary view, the universe is believed to be 13.8 billion years old).

It doesn’t matter how much the evidence contradicts the evolutionary worldview, the model will mold to fit the new evidence or the problem will just be pushed out to where we can’t study it (the depths of outer space).

Evolution isn’t science; it’s a worldview being used to interpret the evidence we have in the present. And I would argue it’s a bad worldview that doesn’t explain the evidence consistently." AIG

The Great Deception

"That verse reads: “By one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.” Romans 5:12.
Whosoever believes that, and grasps the fact there stated, is prepared to understand the fullness of the salvation that the Lord Jesus brought to the world.

If each person in the world would hold upon his heart, would hold in his very consciousness, the truth that death has hold on him,—that to death he is subject, as expressed in the Scripture, though not in our translation: “Death is their shepherd,”—that death is the watchman over all mankind,—that death is to each one as a shepherd herding his flock,—there would be a universal readiness to believe the gospel.

The deception of thinking that they have life in themselves has been for ages, and is still, the bane of mankind. This deception is couched in the conception of the immortality of the soul. 
Vast multitudes of the human race, and indeed the whole human race, naturally, as it is, have come under the power of that deception—of
thinking that they have life themselves so certainly that even the Lord himself cannot deprive them of it. Through the deception in which they are involved, they have come to believe that a part of themselves is “immortal,” and, logically enough, that, therefore, it is “a part of God”—and then the conclusion, “How can God destroy a part of Himself?” By that argument they convince themselves that the Lord himself could not destroy them, if He wished to.

The whole human race is naturally under that deception. But the Lord spoke otherwise. Before this deceiver spoke, the Lord had said: “In the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.” Genesis 2:17. And this was the truth. It was the truth when He spoke it; it was the truth the day they ate of the tree; and it is the truth forever." A.T. Jones

How to have a foretaste of heaven

"Love's agencies have wonderful power, for they are divine. 
The soft answer that "turneth away wrath," the love that "suffereth long, and is kind," the charity that "covereth a multitude of sins" (Proverbs 15:1; 1 Corinthians 13:4, R.V.; 1 Peter 4:8, R.V.)—would we learn the lesson, with what power for healing would our lives be gifted! How life would be transformed, and the earth become a very likeness and foretaste of heaven!" E.G.W.

And He is before all things, and by Him all things consist. Colossians 1:17
"Guliuzza’s theory is that all life has an inbuilt mechanism that allows it to adapt to environmental changes. It is called the
Continuous Environmental Tracking (CET) model. Developedprimarily through his work with the Institute for Creation Research (ICR), CET rejects traditional Darwinian natural selection evolution, and, instead of viewing organisms as passive entities shaped by external natural selection forces, Guliuzza argues that life is engineered with complex, internally built-in control mechanisms designed by the Creator to actively adapt to environmental changes. Specifically, the theory concludes that
"For more than a century, biologists have appealed to Darwinian natural selection to explain how living organisms adapt to different environments. But research over the last several decades has consistently dethroned Darwin’s view of natural selection. Rather than corroborating the concept that environments mold creatures through “survival of the fittest,” the research supports the astonishing idea that to a great extent, creatures actively sense their environments and adapt accordingly… Adaptation is a result of brilliant biological engineering rather than trial-and-error death and survival, which flips the mechanism of adaptation completely on its head. This approach views biological adaptation as primarily occurring through internal mechanisms (the ability to actively sense the environment and adapt) rather than external influence (the environment molds creatures through Darwinian natural selection."
The word evolution comes from the Latin evolutio, meaning “an unrolling” or “unfolding” from ex- (“out of”) and volvere (“to roll”). In other words, the word itself conveys the idea of something unfolding out from what came before by natural selection of mutations." CEH

The Burning of the Bibles

And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. Revelation 11:3

"The first English transltion of the New Testament, 12 mo., from the original Greek was printed in Antwerp, (1,500 copies) in 1526.
 Bishop Tunstall and Wolsey, 
went abroad to destroy the nest, as they thought, 
of this viper's brood. 
At Antwerp, an English merchant offered them all they wished to buy, even to the last copy. The Bishop caught at the bait. "Gentle Mr. Packington," he replied, "do your diligence, and get them; and with all my heart I will pay for them, whatever they cost you; for the books are naught, and I intend surely to burn them at St. Paul's Cross." 

Packington's speech to Tyndale is equally quaint. "William, I know thou art a poor man, and hast a heap of books by thee; for which
thou hast endangered thy friends and beggared thyself; and I have gotten thee a merchant, which with ready money shall despatch thee of all thou hast.
" - "who is he?" - "The Bishop of London." - "O, that because he will burn them." - "Yes." - "I am the gladder," said Tyndale, "for these two benefits; I shall get money to bring myself out of debt, and the whole world will cry out against the burning God's Word; and the overplus of money shall make me more studious to correct the said New Testament, and newly to imprint the same; and I trust the second will much better like you than the first." 

So the books were burned in great quantities at St. Paul's Cross the same year. But a single copy of this edition is believed to be extant, and that in the Baptist Library in Bristol, England. 
In 1529-30 other copies were printed which found their way into England to such an extent that Dr. Stokesly, then Bishop of London, caused all the New Testaments and many others of Tyndale's works which he bought up should be brought to St. Paul's Churchyard and there burned, which was done in May, 1531. 

In 1531 Tyndale had prepared and printed in Antwerp a second enlarged and more perfect edition of the New Testament, 8vo. A copy of this edition is now in the British Museum. In 1538 Coverdale and the English printer Richard Grafton, had 2,500 copies the Bible, printed in France in the English language; the whole edition was seized and condemned to the flames, a few copies only being saved."

Creation Moment 9/11/2026 - Not Remarkable IF one uses the Biblical Timeline

For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—...—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. Romans 1:20 NIV

"An astounding discovery was that of large,
black ink sacs preserved within specimens of fossilized cephalopods (squid-like marine animals that squirt ink) recovered from a rock formation in England supposedly about 160 million years old. 

Surprisingly, careful examination of the ink sac contents revealed what appeared to be ink consisting of granules similar in size and
shape to those that are in the ink of modern cephalopods, which additional analyses demonstrated had chemical properties that included melanin, the pigment found in the ink of modern cephalopods. 

As Dr. Rana himself commented finding “a chemically intact form [of preserved melanin] for at least 160 million years is nothing short of remarkable.”....... creationists have understandably embraced these discoveries of soft tissues and biomolecules in these ancient fossils. That’s because our timescale for earth history with the Flood cataclysm only about 4,350 years ago predicts such soft tissues and biomolecules would be found in fossils. They would have survived those few thousand years based on the known observations and experiments of their rapid decay today."
