One Simple Act
"In another part of the world I have watched elderly people and even cripples crawling painfully on their hands and knees to some distant temple. They believe that by inflicting pain on themselves they will make their gods happy. But in testing man, God merely asked him to refrain from one simple act."
Getting it all Together p.20 Don Hawley

SCAM ALERT-"Prophet" Manasseh Jordan
From Christian Research Service
"As the story goes, a man studies
the writings of popular modern-day prophets, watches their shows on TV, attends
their crusades, and mimics their methods. Behind the scenes, the man is groomed
and conditioned to carry on the promises of financial
prosperity, healing, and prophetic declarations to anyone who would lend an
ear. In time, the man would step into the public eye and claim to be a
prophet of God.
Thousands come from far and near
to see the prophet, standing outside for hours in the rain, heat, and cold. Once
inside, they rush to purchase the prophet's DVDs, CDs, shiny trinkets, and
autographed books and photos.
Afterwards, they push and shove
their way into the auditorium, where the atmosphere is electrically-charged with
noise and excitement.
The choir bellows soul-stirring
songs through huge amplifiers positioned front and rear of the building. Giant
TV screens border each side of the stage.
Assistants and medical personnel stand ready on the
main floor. Hurried hearts pound with emotion and anticipation. Restless and
tear-filled eyes focus on center-stage, awaiting the
prophet's entrance.
Unmoved by the commotion and
fanfare, the prophet's bodyguards, catchers, and VIPs file aimlessly from
the rear of the stage and take their seats.
But where is the
prophet? the crowd wonders.
On cue,
the prophet boldly struts to center-stage, groomed and manicured from head to
toe, strong-willed and brimming with king-like charm and poise. Shouting and
ear-deafening applause fills the auditorium. The prophet grins and prances
back-and-forth across his stage, commanding the attention of all, then stops. He
lifts his hands high and shouts to announce the grand entrance of a powerful
healing presence in the building.
Upon
the prophet's command, hundreds rush the stage to claim their healing, to
possess a morsel of the prophet's anointing, and to submerge their hearts and
minds in the prophet's authority and influence.
Under close scrutiny from the
prophet's medical staff, the sick and dying stand in line waiting, hoping to
be examined and judged worthy of being chosen to appear in the prophet's
presence.
Hundreds come, but few are
chosen.
Those who
are approved, those who look and sound legitimate, will be used to motivate and
stimulate the audience. They anxiously await their turn to gaze into the
prophet's eyes, and to be seen and touched by the prophet. When their moment
finally arrives, their minds go blank, their bodies go limp, they feel the bolts
of electricity surge through their bodies.
And with a breath from the
prophet's mouth or wave of his hand, they fall backwards to the stage floor,
some softly, others violently, shaking out of control, as if manipulated on
strings dangling from a giant, invisible puppeteer.
It is then when
the sick and dying are under the prophet's complete control. Eventually, when
the adrenalin subsides, when the consuming euphoria fades away, the torment of
reality sets in, and the sick and dying depart the crusade in the same manner
they arrived...sick and dying.
The story is all too common, but in a different
time, and with a different face. You may have seen him on-stage with Benny Hinn, prophesying
over people, revealing their innermost thoughts, and pronouncing people healed
through his prophetic words. He is Yakim Manasseh Jordan, son of E. (Elijah) Bernard Jordan, the new kid on the
hyper-Charismatic block, and rising star within the Word of Faith
movement."
"Prophet Manasseh is the picture of everything his doting, charismatic father would be proud of. He’s a special child. His birth was prophesied. He was called by name before he was even formed in the womb.Manasseh Jordan’s birth was prophesied by Toufik Benedictus Hinn." Wordpress.com

This is my commandment,
This is my commandment,
That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
Greater love hath no man than this,
that a man lay down his life for his
friends.
Ye are my friends,
if ye do whatsoever I command you.
Henceforth I call you not servants;
for the servant knoweth not what his lord
doeth:
but I have called you friends;
for all things that I have heard of my
Father I have made known unto you.
Ye have not chosen me,
but I have chosen you,
These things I command you,
that ye love one another.

Creation Moment 3/30/2012 - "Billions" of new planets
New 'life in space' hope after billions of 'habitable planets' found in Milky Way
Billions of potentially habitable planets may exist within our galaxy, the Milky Way, raising new prospects that life could exist near Earth, a study has found.Researchers discovered that at least 100 of the ''super-Earths'' may be on our galactic doorstep, at distances of less than 30 light years, or about 180 trillion miles, from the sun.
Astronomers say the findings were made after conducting a survey of red dwarf stars, which account for about four in five stars in the Milky Way.
They calculate that around 40 per cent of red dwarfs have a rocky planet not much bigger than Earth orbiting the ''habitable zone'', in which liquid surface water can exist. Dr Xavier Bonfils, from Grenoble University in France, who led the international team, said: ''Because red dwarfs are so common - there are about 160 billion of them in the Milky Way - this leads us to the astonishing result that there are tens of billions of these planets in our galaxy alone.''

Judge Us, O God

Sabbath Commandment
Some say that keeping the 7th day Sabbath is being legalistic or "trying to work
your way to heaven". This, of course, is not true. For if it is-then if you have
a chance to commit adultery-you might as well. Or your just trying to "work your
way to heaven" also. Or why not lie if you feel like it? ---- Either you keep
His commandments-or you don't. You can't pick 9 out of the 10 and replace one
with another day, such as Sunday, just becasue you feel like it. For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in
one point, he is guilty of all. For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said
also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou
art become a transgressor
of the law. James 2:10,11 Get the point?
Creation Moment 3/29/2012 - Biogenesis
"Evolutionists claim that life formed from non-life (dead chemicals), so-called
"abiogenesis", even though it is a biological law ("biogenesis") that life only
comes from life. The probability of the simplest imaginable replicating system
forming by itself from non-living chemicals has been calculated to be so very
small as to be essentially zero - much less than one chance in the number of
electron-sized particles that could fit in the entire visible universe! Given
these odds, is it reasonable to believe that life formed itself?" CS

Iranian Crackdown on Christians
"ISTANBUL, March 16 (Compass Direct News) – In a rare crackdown on a concentrated area, Iranian authorities have arrested Christians living in the country’s third largest city in what is seen as a tactic to discourage Muslims and converts to Christianity from attending official churches.
Since last month officials have arrested about 12 Christian converts in Isfahan, 340 kilometers (211 miles) south of Tehran. Authorities have arrested leaders and members of churches meeting in buildings, as well as some from underground churches, according to Mohabat News.
The targeted arrests started on Feb. 22, when intelligence officers arrested approximately seven Christians at their homes between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m., Mohabat reported. Authorities raided their homes and confiscated valuables, including Bibles, computers, identification and other documents, and in one case even pictures decorating walls.
Authorities have allegedly arrested more Christians in Isfahan, but sources have not been able to confirm the arrests and details. None of those arrested in Isfahan last month has been officially charged.
Though religious freedom monitors in Iran said it was not clear what triggered authorities to target Christians in Isfahan, one Iranian Christian outside the country said it may be yet another tactic to stop converts from attending Farsi-speaking meetings in official church buildings.
“I now have 12 names of Christians arrested in Isfahan,” said the Iranian Christian, who requested anonymity. “Isfahan is a very Islamic city. We have two or three church buildings there. The government is very sensitive in Isfahan, which is the only city apart from Tehran with official church buildings. Now the government is focusing on the church buildings to scare the people so they don’t go.” Religion News Blog

DETACHMENT & ATTACHMENT
"There will be a struggle with outward and internal obstacles. There must be a painful work of detachment as well as a work of attachment. Pride, selfishness, vanity, worldliness-sin in all its forms-must be overcome if we would enter into a union with Christ. The reason why so many find the Christian life so deplorably hard, why they are so fickle, so variable, is, they try to attach themselves to Christ without first detaching themselves from their cherished idols."

Creation Moment 3/28/2012 - Information & Randomness
"Information theory states that "information" never arises out of
randomness or chance events. Our human experience verifies this every day. How
can the origin of the tremendous increase in information from simple organisms
up to man be accounted for? Information is always introduced from the outside.
It is impossible for natural processes to produce their own actual information,
or meaning, which is what evolutionists claim has happened. Random typing might
produce the string "dog", but it only means something to an intelligent observer
who has applied a definition to this sequence of letters. The generation of
information always requires intelligence, yet evolution claims that no
intelligence was involved in the ultimate formation of a human being whose many
systems contain vast amounts of information." CS

Prophetesses of Acts
........ and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist,..........And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy. Acts 21:8,9
A prophet or prophetess did not necessarily give future predictions as we think of the word prophecy today. They many times were given messages to keep the Church on the straight and narrow as it relates to doctrine.

Creation Moment 3/26/2012 - Tree Rings NOT so accuarate for dating after all
"Rings around the tree dates: What could be more reliable than tree ring dating? Trees make annual rings; count them and you’ve got an absolute date. Why, then, did PhysOrg report, “Tree rings may underestimate climate response to volcanic eruptions”? A study re-evaluated some estimates, and found them overall quite good, with one “glaring error” – trees might not produce rings after a volcanic eruption strong enough to affect climate. But if dates could be underestimated by factors not previously considered, could they be overestimated by other unknowns? The article exposed some of the assumptions that go into the dating method: The potential absence of rings in the first one to three years following eruption further degrades the temperature reconstruction. Because tree-ring information is averaged across many locations to obtain a representative estimate of northern hemisphere temperature, tree-ring records with and without missing rings for a given year are merged, leading to a smearing and reduced and delayed apparent cooling."

Sophia Worship -1993- "Christian" re-imaging conference
1993 at a so-called Christian conference for re-imaging, the goddess of
wisdom, Sophia, was worshipped. (Attended by reps from the United Methodist,
Lutheran, Presbyterian, United Church of Canada, Episcopalian and American
Baptist,Quakers, United Church of Christ, as well as Catholic). Other examples
of this New-Ageism entering the Christian Churches at that meeting
include-
* Delores Williams of Union Theological
Seminary,said: "I don't' think we need a theory of atonement at all. I think
Jesus came for life and to show us something about life. I don't think weneed
folks hanging on crosses and blood dripping and weird stuff ... wejust need to
listen to the God within."
* Virginia Mollenkott, who participated in the
translation of the NewInternational Version, said, "Jesus is our elder brother,
the trailblazer and constant companion for us--ultimately is among many brothers
and sisters in an eternal, equally worthy sibling-hood. First bornonly in the
sense that he was the first to show us that it is possible to live in oneness
with the divine source while we are here on this planet.
* Korea's Chung Hyung Kyung told the crowd, "My bowel is
Buddhist bowel,my heart is Buddhist heart, my right brain is Confucian brain,
and my left brain is Christian brain." & "When we do pranic healing, we
believe that thislife-giving energy came from god and it is everywhere, it is in
the sun, inthe ocean, from the ground and it is from the trees ... If you feel
very tired and you don't have any energy to give, whatyou do is ... go to a big
tree and ask it to `give me some of your life energy"
* During the conference, a group of
roughly 100 "lesbian, bi-sexual, and transsexual
women" gathered on the platform and were given a standing ovation by many
in the crowd. They were "celebrating the miracle of being lesbian, out, and
Christian."
* The Nov. 3, 1993,
Minneapolis Star Tribune reported that"throughout the conference worship
experiences will celebrate Sophia, the biblical goddess of creation." Sue Seid-Martin of the University of St. Thomas
School of Divinity in St. Paul, Minn., claimed that this Sophiais "the
suppressed part of the biblical tradition, and clearly the female face of the
human psyche."
Professing themselves to be wise, they
became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made
like to corruptible man,..(or in this case
a woman).
Romans 1:22,23
Creation Moment 3/25/2012 - Silliness of Accretion
"Evolutionary theories propose that our solar system formed from a large spinning nebula in space.
The nebula is believed to have flattened to a spinning disk of gas, dust, and ice known as the accretion disk. Over millions of years, gravity caused the planets and other objects to form from this disk, and then excess gas and dust dissipated and cleared away, leaving the solar system as we see it." CMI
When you truly think about the evolutionary process of accretion-it is actually silly & absurd. Besides, we now know it isn't true since much of the solar system is NOT made up of the same chemical properties which would be expected if the evolutionary view were accurate.
For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Exodus 20:11

Paul Harvey Nailed it in 1965
Transcript from a Paul Harvey radio moment in 1965
“If I were the devil, I wouldn’t be happy until I had seized the ripest apple on the tree—Thee. So I’d set about however necessary to take over the United States. I’d subvert the churches first—I would begin with a campaign of whispers. With the wisdom of a serpent, I would whisper to you as I whispered to Eve: “Do as you please.” “Do as you please.” To the young, I would whisper, “The Bible is a myth.” I would convince them that man created God instead of the other way around. I would confide that what is bad is good, and what is good is “square”. And the old, I would teach to pray. I would teach them to pray after me, ‘Our Father, which art in Washington…’
And then I’d get organized. I’d educate authors on how to lurid literature exciting, so that anything else would appear dull and uninteresting. I’d threaten TV with dirtier movies and vice versa. I’d pedal narcotics to whom I could. I’d sell alcohol to ladies and gentlemen of distinction. I’d tranquilize the rest with pills.
If I were the devil I’d soon have families that war with themselves, churches that war with themselves, and nations that war with themselves; until each in its turn was consumed. And with promises of higher ratings I’d have mesmerizing media fanning the flame. If I were the devil I would encourage schools to refine young intellects, and neglect to discipline emotions—just let those run wild, until before you knew it, you’d have to have drug sniffing dogs and metal detectors at every schoolhouse door.
Within a decade I’d have prisons overflowing, I’d have judges promoting pornography—soon I could evict God from the courthouse, and then the schoolhouse, and then from the houses of Congress. And in His own churches I would substitute psychology for religion, and deify science. I would lure priests and pastors into misusing boys and girls, and church money. If I were the devil I’d make the symbols of Easter an egg and the symbol of Christmas a bottle.
If I were the devil I’d take from those, and who have, and give to those wanted until I had killed the incentive of the ambitious. What do you bet I could get whole states to promote gambling as the way to get rich? I would question against extremes and hard work, and Patriotism, and moral conduct. I would convince the young that marriage is old-fashioned, that swinging more fun, that what you see on the TV is the way to be. And thus I could undress you in public, and I could lure you into bed with diseases for which there is no cure. In other words, if I were to devil I’d keep on doing on what he’s doing. Paul Harvey, good day.” from Glenn Beck website
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He
was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is
no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a
liar, and the father of it. John 8:44

Creation Moment 3/24/2012 - Did We Evolve from Dogs now?
"A new finding shows dogs performing better on one kind of intelligence test than chimpanzees. If evolution teaches that human intelligence is the main trait separating us from other animals, and dogs are smarter than apes, shouldn’t the conclusion be that dogs are closer on the family tree? If not, is it valid for evolutionary biologists to pick and choose the traits that matter? Researchers at Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology worked with 32 dogs of different breeds, and 20 chimpanzees at reserves in Germany and Uganda. They gave them simple tests to see if they could figure out where food was by pointing at it. Despite rigorous attempts to rule out background causes or other distractions, the dogs scored much higher; the chimps just couldn’t get the message. Jennifer Viegas at Live Science headlined the story, “Dogs Understand Us Better Than Chimps Do.” CEH

Fatherless Orphans
Pure religion and undefiled before God
and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their
affliction,... James 1:27
"All who profess to have a Father in heaven, who they hope will care for them and finally take them to the home He has prepared for them, ought to feel a solemn obligation resting upon them to be friends to the friendless and fathers to the orphans, to aid the widows, and be of some practical use in this world by benefiting humanity. He stands there in the person of the poor, the homeless orphans, and the afflicted widows, who need love, sympathy, affection, and encouragement. If you do it not upon one of these, you would not do it unto Christ were He upon the earth. Now is your sowing time. You will reap that which you sow. Avail yourselves while you may of every privilege to do good." Testimonies for the Church vol.2, p.329,330 E.G.W.
Creation Moment 3/21/2012 - Cells & Blood Vessels Recovered from Dinosaur Bones
The following is interesting considering that in lab experiments, blood cells closed off from air or other things that could decay them, only could last about 5,000 years-give or take a few.....So the idea that dinosaurs lived 60,000,000 years ago isn't supported by the science....
"These cells look like fairly typical bone cells. They appear to be connected to each other by thin branch-like projections and are embedded in a white matrix of fibres. At their centres are dark red spots that are probably their nuclei. But it's not their appearance that singles out these extraordinary cells - it's their source. You're looking at the bone cells of a dinosaur. Their presence in the modern day is incredible. Time usually isn't kind to such tissues, which decay and degrade long before harder structures like bones, teeth and armour are fossilised. From the bone of Brachylophosaurus, she has uncovered tissues that bind to antibodies designed to target collagen and other proteins not found in bacteria, including haemoglobin and elastin. And her experiments were duplicated by independent researchers from five different laboratories. It seems that her Tyrannnosaurus discovery was far from a one-hit wonder." Discover blogs

Creation Moment 3/20/2012 - Communism & Evolution
"There was truth in Engel's eulogy on Marx: 'Just as Darwin had discovered the
law of evolution in organic nature so Marx discovered the law of evolution in
human history'" (Morris 1989, 83 quoting Himmelfarb). A soviet think tank founded in 1963 developed a one-semester course in
"Scientific Atheism" which was introduced in 1964. CS

Meat-Not the milk
For every one that useth milk is
unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat
belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have
their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
Hebrews 5:13,14
"The failures and mistakes of ancient Israel
are not as grievous in the sight of God as are the sins of the people of God in
this age. Light has been increasing from age to age, and the generations that
follow have the example of the generations that went before..."

Creation Moment 3/16/2012 - World View
There are 2 World Views:
1) The evolutionary view-which leads to acceptance of abortion, euthanasia, racism, etc.
2) The Biblical/Creation View-which leads to equality for all and a value on life if truly practiced.
And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. 1 Kings 18:21

Tithe-beauty & simplicity of the system
Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed
me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and
offerings. Malachi 3:8
For this Melchisedec, king of Salem,
priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the
kings, and blessed him; To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of
all; Hebrews 7:1,2
"God's plan in the tithing system is beautiful
in its simplicity and equality. All may take hold of it in faith and courage,
for its divine in its origin. In it are combined simplicity and utility, and
does not require depth of learning to understand and execute it......He has
given his blood; He asks our silver. it is through His poverty that we are made
rich: and will we refuse to give back to Him His own gifts?...Systematic
benevolence should not be made systematic compulsion. It is freewill offerings
that are acceptable to God." Testimonies for the Church vol.3,
p.388,390,395 E.G.W.
Creation Moment 3/15/2012 - Hydrogen/Helium
Big-Bang evolutionists believe union of these two gases formed life...
Hydrogen is a colorless, odorless, explosive gas.
Helium is a colorless, odorless, inert gas.
So if you believe the big-bang, then you have to believe a highly explosive gas mixed with an inert gas and formed life....which logically is impossible.
To him that by wisdom made the heavens: for his mercy endureth for ever. Psalm 136:5
