(April Showers) Global Flood # 30

"DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — Experts are trying to figure out what a fossil dubbed "Godzillus" used to be. The 150-pound fossil recovered last year in northern Kentucky is more than 6 feet long and 3 feet wide. To the untrained eye, it looks like a bunch of rocks or a concrete blob. Experts are trying to determine whether it was an animal, mineral or a form of plant life from a time when the Cincinnati region was underwater.

Scientists at a Geological Society of America meeting viewed it Tuesday at the Dayton Convention Center in Ohio.

"We are looking for people who might have an idea of what it is," said Ben Dattilo, an assistant professor of geology at Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne." Yahoo News

 Hey- I have an idea of what it might be-something antideluvian-just sayin'......

Creation Moment 4/30/2012 - "Refill" of Fill the earth?

And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth,

Genesis 1:28 KJV

So did God tell them to actually "replenish" the earth, as if at one point it had already been full-or did He mean to fill the earth?
"But as any Hebrew interlinear Bible or Bible dictionary will tell you, the word translated as ‘replenish’ in Genesis 1:28 is the Hebrew verb מלאו(mil’û), which simply means fill. Not refill. Which is why most modern versions translate the word in Genesis 1:28 as fill. But this does not necessarily mean that the King James translators made a mistake here. They seem to have known what the Hebrew word meant, as shown by the fact that in most other places it appears in the OT, they simply translated it as ‘fill’." AIG

Then God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; 

Genesis 1:28 NKJV

God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it.

Genesis 1:28 NIV

God blessed them:
"Prosper! Reproduce! Fill Earth! Take charge! Genesis 1:28 MSG

And God blessed them, and said, Increase ye, and be ye multiplied, and fill ye the earth, and make ye it subject;

Genesis 1:28 Wycliffe Bible

Stay away from the sewers

"...you turned to common sewers, and tried to satisfy your soul thirst with the polluted waters of human science. The result has been parched hearts....." Special Testimonies E.G.W.
But there is still hope for those who are parched-probation has not yet closed-

And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water:...And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; Isaiah 35:7,8

"There are two main theories as to how these rock layers were formed, the Uniformitarian viewpoint and the catastrophist viewpoint....

The uniformitarian viewpoint is that the layers of sedimentary rock have always been laid down at a similar rate to what we see today, e.g. very slowly. Thus, a given thickness of rock must relate to thousands or millions of years time, based on today's rates.

The catastrophist viewpoint is that sedimentary rock layers can be laid down very quickly and creationists tend to believe that the rocks of the geological column were laid down largely as a result of a global flood as told in the Bible.

Three quarters of the earth's continental surface is composed of sedimentary rock, that is rock that has been laid down in water. It is this type of rock in which fossils are found." WDR

And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; 2 Peter 2:5

Creation Moment 4/29/2012 - The Best Evidence

"The best evidence for creation and design is within all of us. It is our reality. It is what we see, feel, touch, smell and our overall consciousness. It is knowing what it is like to be me. Generally, it is very easy for us to distinguish between natural and created items. Even the staunchest evolutionists admit that living things appear designed. That is why evolutionist Richard Dawkins wrote the book titled “The Blind Watchmaker.”"  AAC

For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,

Romans 1:20 NKJV

The Sweetest Melodies

"The sweetest melodies that come from human lips,-justification by faith, and the righteousness of Christ." Review & Herald 4/4/1895 E.G.W.
That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
Titus 3:7

A Vision for our souls to see

In thoughts from the visions of the night,
when deep sleep falleth on men,
Fear came upon me,
and trembling,
which made all my bones to shake.

Then a spirit passed before my face;

the hair of my flesh stood up:

It stood still,

but I could not discern the form thereof:

an image was before mine eyes,

there was silence,

and I heard a voice, saying,

Shall mortal man be more just than God?

shall a man be more pure than his maker?

Job 4:13-17

Gypsum rocks are sedimentary rocks made up of sulfate mineral and formed as the result of evaporating sea water in massive prehistoric basins. It is very soft and is used to make Plaster of Paris, casts, molds, and wallboards.
And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights. Genesis 7:12

Creation Moment 4/28/2012 - Evolutionary Ooops......

"Evolutionist believe that land plants did not appear until over 100 million years after the Cambrian trilobites died out, yet over sixty genera of woody plant spores, pollen and wood itself have been recovered from the lowest "trilobite" rock from around the world" Parker 2001
And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. Genesis 1:11

(April Showers) Global Flood # 27

How long do you think it took the strata in the picture to form? Some would say millions of years at first glance based on their evolutionary indoctrination---but it is at Mt. St. Helens in Washington state which reupted in 1980. The top layer was formed by a mud flow in 1982. The middle layer in June of 1980. And the bottom layer took only 6 hours to form in May of 1980.
So how much could be formed worldwide during a GLOBAL Flood like the one in Genesis?
....... in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
Genesis 7:11

Creation Moment 4/27/2012 - Racism & Evolution: Bodysnatchers for Darwin

Korah Wills

US evolutionists were also strongly involved in this flourishing 'industry' of gathering specimens of 'subhumans'. The Smithsonian Institution in Washington holds the remains of 15,000 individuals of various races. Pickled Aboriginal brains were also in demand, to try to prove that they were inferior to those of whites. It was Darwin, after all, who wrote that the civilized races would inevitably wipe out such lesser-evolved 'savage' ones. Edward Ramsay, curator of the Australian Museum in Sydney for 20 years from 1874, was particularly heavily involved. He published a museum booklet which appeared to include Aborigines under the designation of 'Australian animals'.

"A death bed memoir from Korah Wills, who became mayor of Bowen, Queensland, in 1866, graphically describes how he killed and dismembered a local tribesman in 1865 to provide a scientific specimen". CS

Guanyin & Mary

Statue of Guanyin (Bhuddist) & Mary (Catholic) blended together in Macao

Guanyin (as she is known in Chinese) is a buddhist bodhisattva, venerated in eastern Asia. It is believed that when one dies that they are placed her on a lotus and sent off west to the land of bliss. She is often known in the west as the goddess of mercy. Some New Agers show devotion towards her.
This blending of Catholicism & Buddhism in Macao, over just 4 centuries of contact, is an example of how paganism entered Christianity in the first place. It didn't take long during the days of the early "church fathers" for such paganistic practices as Sunday sacredness, immortality of the soul, certain holidays rooted in paganism, to creep in. The first Catholic diocese in Macao, which was Portuguese, was established in 1575 by Pope Gregory XIII.

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

2 Corinthians 6:14,15,17,18

When it comes to "fossil fuels"-how do you really think we got such mass graves as we have today?
And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die. Genesis 6:7

Creation Moment 4/26/2011 - Math & Evolutionary Time

"The evolutionists claim that Man evolved from ape-like creatures about 4,000,000 years ago. They further stipulate that recognizable modern Man has been in existence for at least 100,000 years. The shear magnitude of the deaths, burials and remnants of so large a population need to be considered prior to accepting any such claims.
If we were to conservatively say that a generation passed once every 25 years (and when was the last time a generation was 25 years long?), then in 100,000 years a total of 4,000 generations would occur. If the number of people on earth never exceeded 1,000,000 at any one time in the past, then in 100,000 years a total of 4,000,000,000 people would have lived, died and been buried somewhere on earth. This is an astronomical number.
When people are buried, whether or not their bodies are preserved, there are the artifacts left in the graves which identify them as human. Even if the body decomposes completely their jewelry, tools and vessels placed in the grave with them will survive. " CWM
Uhmmm...where are the bodies evolutionists?
One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: Ecclesiastes 1:4

Manu

Manu is the name given by Hinduism to "Noah". Manu was the survivor of a great flood that destroyed earth. All mankind is descended from Manu. He was saved on a boat with all the animals. A large fish towed his boat and let it rest on a mountain. Eventually he left the boat and he and his wife repopulated the world.
And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; 2 Peter 2:5

Creation Moment 4/25/2012 - Tennessee Law

It seems evolutionists are up in arms over this new law in Tennessee. All the law states is the following:

“The state board of education, public elementary and secondary school governing authorities, directors of schools, school system administrators, and public elementary and secondary school principals and administrators shall endeavor to create an environment within public elementary and secondary schools that encourages students to explore scientific questions, learn about scientific evidence, develop critical thinking skills, and respond appropriately and respectfully to differences of opinion about controversial issues.”

This Bill was passed by both houses of the Tennessee state legislature and, despite a petition to veto it, the State Governor allowed it to pass into law on 10 April 2012. CreationResearch

Lessons from the Temptation of Christ

"In the wilderness, Christ met the great leading temptations that would assail man.
The first great temptation was upon appetite;
The second, presumption;
The third, love of the world.
The condition is seldom as plainly stated as to Christ-If thou wilt fall down and worship me.- Through devotion to worldly interests he recieves all the homage he asks. The door is left open for him to enter as he pleases. Man is charmed...and allured on to ruin. The example of Christ is before us. Christ resisted satan with scripture."
Counsels on Stewardship p.209,210 E.G.W./ & Matthew 4:9

The Chinese symbol for the number "8" includes a ship and 8 people. The ancient Chines (as most other ancient cultures) had a global flood story. In Chinese, the name of the hero is Nuoya.

Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.

1 Peter 3:20

Creation Moment 4/24/2012 - STASIS?

Hmmm...This supposed 140 million year old dragon fly looks like a...uhm..dragon fly

Stasis is when the oldest fossils appear as is, fully formed, with very little change. The "Cambrian Explosion" in "primordial strata" shows rapid appearance of major groups of complex creatures. So technically speaking, stasis in the fossil record undermines evolution.
And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: Genesis 1:25

Scripture Testifies of its own Divine Authorship

Ever notice how the Bible is all connected under the surface? It's as though it has one author-which testifies to a Divine Being behind guiding it being written and put together over the centuries.
"As we contemplate the great things of God's Word, we look into a fountain that broadens and deepens beneath our gaze. This experience is highest evidence of the divine authorship of the Bible."
Education p. 171 E.G.W.
Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation. Exodus 15:13

(April Showers) Global Flood # 23

For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, Matthew 24:38
"A similar condition of things exist today. That which is lawful in itself is carried to excess. Appetite is indulged without restraint. Professed followers of Christ are today eating and drinking with the drunken, while their names stand in honored church records. Intemperance benumbs the moral and spiritual powers and prepares the way for indulgence of the lower passions.  multitudes feel under no moral obligation to curb their sensual desires, and they become the slaves of lust. Men are living for the pleasures of sense;"
Patriarchs and Prophets p.101 E.G.W.

Creation Moment 4/23/2012 - Creation of Color

Color is light at certain wavelengths. Measured in nanometers, it is Red (700-635) Orange (635-590) Yellow (590-560) Green (560-490) Blue (490-450) Violet (450-400). Interesting how God simply compresses light by wavelentgh and produces different colors.
Imagine if there are more colors in the spectrum that we cannot see. What if there are even more colors in Heaven?

But as it is written,
Eye hath not seen,
nor ear heard,
neither have entered into the heart of man,
the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
1 Corinthians 2:9

Upright fossilized trees (polystrate fossils) are evidence for a flood catastrophe. Some trees are buried as entire forests and fossilized. The most upright fossil trees on earth, so far discovered, are in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia. The Joggins main coal seam in Nova Scotia is filled with upright polystrate trees.
And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, breath of life, from under heaven;... and every thing that is in the earth shall die. Genesis 6:17

Creation Moment 4/22/2012 - Gender & Color

It is NO secret that men & women are CREATED different. Different roles, bodies, and brains. Apparently they see colors slightly different too. 
And it seems women can see more shades of colors than men. Not only can women see more greens & reds, but about half of women have 4 instead of the normal 3 cone receptors and can pick out 10 instead of the normal 7 colors in a rainbow.
It also appears, for some reason, that men heavily favor blue and women are more divided between pink, red or purple as a favorite color. 
Also, a man who has only male offspring is even more likely to favor blue and a woman with only male offspring increases her chance of favoring pink.
The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. Luke 11:34

Fashion

...for the fashion of this world passeth away. 1 Corinthians 7:31

Ecumenical Movement & Babylon

.....for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, Revelation 19:2
The Ecumenical Movement can be used to foster the agenda of "Babylon"-that great whore of Revelation. There has already been unions formed (such as the United Church of Christ from out of the movement, the Evangelical Lutheran Church, etc.) and some are now sharing communion and sharing the pulpits.
The Ecumenical Movement is made up of two main bodies:
1) The World Council of Churches (WCC)
2) The National Council of Churches (NCC)

The ecumenical movement also likes to stick its nose into worldly politics, usaually, but not exclusivly, positions on the political left of the spectrum. Yet, the irony is, many are willing to accept the Pope as the head Bishop of a global alliance....interesting....

Recently the NCC gave an award of recognition to 5 congregations for "...exemplary efforts in strengthening its own self-understanding and identity as a community deeply rooted in the Christian faith and, at the same time, being open to learning from, working with, and sharing with those of other faiths."
The 5 were:

● Boston Avenue United Methodist Church, Tulsa, Okla.

● Community Christian Church, Disciples of Christ, Tempe, Ariz.
● Episcopal Tri-Faith Ministries, Ashland, Neb.
● First Christian Church, Disciples of Christ, Eugene, Ore.
● St. Alban's Episcopal Church, Washington, D.C.

 

Heedless Folly

"Satan is working with great power to lead men to indulge appetite, gratify inclination, and spend their days in heedless folly. He presents attractions in a life of selfish enjoyment and of sensual indulgence. Intemperance saps the energies of both mind and body."
Counsels on Diet & Foods p.22,23 E.G.W.


"Folly" Chasing "Death" around the "Pillar of Life" during the Mardis Gras in Mobile, AL--Even in paganistic FOLLY, celebrations & rituals such as these-the world acts out the truth-so down deep inside, they all really sense the TRUTH-most simply CHOOSE not to follow God

While they promise them liberty,

Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. 2 Peter 3:6,7

"...men, beasts, aand trees, many times larger than those now upon the earth, ... should be buried in the earth at the time of the flood, and there be preserved to evidence to man that the inhabitants of the old world perished by a flood. God designed that the discovery of these things in the earth should establish the faith of men in inspired history. but men, with their vain reasoning, make a wrong use of these things which God designed should lead them to exalt Him." Spiritual Gifts vol. III-IV p. 95,96 E.G.W.

Creation Moment 4/18/2012 - Gender

It is impossible-to get through the so-called evolutionary process, 2 genders at the same time. Think about all the correct re-arranging of DNA  codes to produce the first "female" & first "male" creatures that are compatible for gender reproduction. DNA doesn't communicate. It doesn't hold a grand conference to organize. Gender reproduction shatters the whole notion of evolution as to how we got here to its core.
And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, Matthew 19:4

Character of God

And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD. And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed,
The LORD,
The LORD God,
merciful and gracious,
longsuffering,
and abundant in goodness and truth,
Keeping mercy for thousands,
forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin,
and that will by no means clear the guilty;
Exodus 34:5-7

(April Showers) Global Flood # 17

So how exactly did God crack the crust of the earth during the flood? I believe (just my opinion) that He used meteors & or small asteroids to pound the earth. And the great deeps were opened as a result as well as the busting apart of the continental plates. This would explain the pot holes throughout the solar system. Also why the few found on earth, tend to be buried deep into what became "fossilized" meteeors, such as those in the Thorsberg quarry in Sweden. There is also the Acraman crater in Australia for example.

And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. Genesis 6:13

Creation Moment 4/17/2012 - FOOD

How is it, that if we evolved that when the first vreatures (like us) evolved to need the nutrients found in the ground, that there just happened to be "plants' that evolved to reach down deep, pull up the nutrients & minerals-and turn them into something edible for the vreatures that happened to need them? Then- as these creatures are evolving (to us) they "evolve" the ability to have different preferences in taste. So say, for citrus, if you don't like grapefruit-there are oranges, limes, tangerines and lemons. Hmmmm...

And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: Genesis 2:5

Those of a Broken Heart

The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Psalm 34:18
