Creation Moment 5/31/2012 - Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are little packets of energy, that when taken into the body, release solar energy that powers the organism.
Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink?
or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
Matthew 6:31,32
"Don't be misled by fad diets that make blanket pronouncements on the dangers of carbohydrates. They provide the body with fuel it needs for physical activity and for proper organ function, and they are an important part of a healthy diet. But some kinds of carbohydrates are far better than others."

The Clergy Project for the WEAK MINDED
"The Clergy Project is a pretty name that evokes the notion of strengthening pastors or recruiting them. But it is in fact a fellowship supported by many atheist groups for pastors who have lost their faith and are finally “coming out.” The new member stands and says in public, “Hello, I’m_____, and I’m an atheist,” which is followed by thunderous applause."

"DeWitt’s transition from true believer to total skeptic took 25 years. It began, he said, with the idea of hell. How could it be, as he had been taught and preached, that a loving God would damn most people to eternal fire? “This thing called hell, it began to rock my world,” he said.
From there he read about universalism -- the idea, scorned by most fundamentalist Christians, that salvation is universal, and all people will be restored in their relationship with God without any action on their own part. After universalism, he discovered the idea, supported by some neuroscientists, that God is actually our inner dialogue." 1) There is NO ETERNALLY BURNING HELL-think how many people have been turned against God by that one FALSE Doctrine 2) As for people being lost-we have FREE WILL-freedom in other words 3) As for an "inner dialogue", therein lies part of the problem-toying with the new ageism of the world.

"During most of my years as a liberal Protestant minister, I never saw a contradiction between my Christian faith and the fact of evolution. Like many progressive Christians, I did not understand evolution as a challenge to the doctrine of divine creation ex nihilo; evolution was merely the mechanism that God used for creating life on our planet. Aside from a cursory discussion in an undergraduate biology course, evolution never played much of a role in my world view. Evolution was interesting but peripheral. My indifference towards evolution changed dramatically when I ran across Richard Dawkins’ analogy of natural selection as “climbing Mount Improbable.”Which core doctrines of Christianity does evolution challenge? Well, basically all of them. The doctrine of original sin is a prime example. If my rudimentary grasp of the science is accurate, then Darwin’s theory tells us that because new species only emerge extremely gradually, there really is no “first” prototype or model of any species at all—no “first” dog or “first” giraffe and certainly no “first” homo sapiens created instantaneously. The transition from predecessor hominid species was almost imperceptible. So, if there was no “first” human, there was clearly no original couple through whom the contagion of “sin” could be transmitted to the entire human race. The history of our species does not contain a “fall” into sin from a mythical, pristine sinless paradise that never existed. Doctrines of sin and redemption are not the only areas of Christian thought impacted by the theory of evolution. Christianity and many other religions claim that human beings have a soul, comprised of neither matter nor energy, which survives the body’s death. This belief is vividly expressed in the popular Roman Catholic prayer to Our Lady of Fatima: “Save us from the fires of hell and lead all souls to heaven.” Religionists will often say that the possession of a soul is what distinguishes humans from the rest of the animal kingdom. Never mind, for a moment, the fact that nobody has ever actually identified the location of the soul; just looking at the concept through Darwinian lenses raises numerous problematic questions for the doctrine. If all humans have souls, does that include all members of the genus homo? What about homo erectus, homo habilis and other hominid species that are no longer with us? Did they have souls that needed saving as well. In 1996 Pope John Paul II issued an encyclical affirming the reality of evolution. But he also insisted that evolution does not explain everything about humanity and at some point in the process of human development God had infused humans with a soul. The Pope, however, did not share when, exactly, the soul insertion event happened." 1) One can see what happens when one dabbles with the pseudo-science of evolution-whiich is easiy challengable- in todays world we have no excuse to believe in evolution-just look to genetics for starters 2) The soul is simply your living consciounce-when the body dies-so too does the "soul".

Hocus Pocus?
"In the 17th century, Archbishop of Canterbury John Tillotson speculated that the term "hocus-pocus" was rooted in the Latin "hoc est corpus" in the Catholic Mass, when the bread and wine is mystically transformed into Jesus' body and blood." USA Today
Well, there was NO "hocus pocus" on the Day of Atonement-it was, and is, the real thing
And this shall be an everlasting statute unto you, to make an atonement for the
children of Israel for all their sins once a year.
Leviticus 16:34
For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate
from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for
his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered
up himself.

Gerson was right in 1402 (and still is today)
Gerson argued that too much time was wasted in useless discussions that had no bearing on religious doctrine. Church leaders had lost the ability to present simple truths of scripture.
He wished for the focus on the virtue of humility-because he believed pride had produced the terrible state of theology at that time on the campuses of Christian academia. (HOW TRUE THEN - & TODAY-Just Think LaSierra for example) He believed theologians were on the wrong path of a dangerous curiosity in matters of faith. An example, he believed that the Scotists had tried too much to analyze the divine being from human reason, and as such, had cluttered up the purity of revelation in scripture. (Can anyone say-the "modernist" school of thought today?).
The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD
is sure, making wise the simple.

Zechariah gives an example of the Judgment
And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him. And the LORD said unto Satan, The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan; even the LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: Zechariah 3:1,2
Joshua was clothed in the filthy rags of sin-
Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel. Zechariah 3:3
The filthy rags are replaced by new ones to cover him in the righteousness of Christ-
And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment. Zechariah 3:4
IN the NEWS-The Butler did it
A Vatican spokesman declined to confirm the butler's arrest, which was widely reported by Italian media on Friday, stating only it had arrested a person discovered in illegal possession of "confidential documents".
Paolo Gabriele, 46, who has worked as Benedict's butler since 2006, was reportedly taken into custody after investigators found a mass of documents in the Vatican apartment he shares with his wife and three children.
The arrest comes a month after the Vatican gave an investigative team led by Cardinal Julian Herranz, a member of Opus dei, a full "pontifical mandate" to join Vatican police in rooting out the perpetrators of what has been dubbed Vatileaks." TheGuardian

How Atheist leader Bobbie Kirkhart became an atheist--

and I said, "I'm not going to leave this beach until I know what I think."
And I spent about six hours there and came off the beach an atheist." LA Times

The argument they use is that the magic in scripture we are forbidden to dabble in has to do with the occult. And that they, as "christian magicians" are just doing hand tricks, etc...
But is this really so? Not likely...just stay away from it all....
Penn of Penn & Teller, the openly atheistic magic duo, says- "Now, Jillette, in his new book, "God, No!," says he has little use for performers who try to use magic tricks to lure audiences into a spiritual message. Magic doesn't make someone an atheist, he says, but it makes it a lot harder to be a believer." USA Today

LaRouche a "cult" leader with a "god" complex?
Lyndon LaRouche, multiple-time Presidential candidate, Democratic Primary candidate more than half a dozen times, once declared "Making men in my own image was the conscious articulation of my central purpose from approximately 1946." Uhm...sorry Lyndon, man was already made in someones image- And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: Genesis 1:26
LaRouche apparently has a "god"-complex as he has a cult like following who were trained in the martial arts in the 70's by his orders and sent out to pick fights with political opponents. The convicted felon LaRouche, who lives in his heavily gaurded compound in Virginia, always opposes each President (of both parties) and dabbles in evolutionary thinking as part of his marxist/economic theories.

4) If evolution were a scientific hypothesis based on a rigorous study of the evidence, it would have been abandoned long ago.

| Cuttlefish |
The ink sacs belonged to a cephalopod, the group that includes squid, and cuttlefish, 160 million years ago, during the Jurassic era. The molecular structure of the ancient ink is surprisingly similar to that of modern cuttlefish Sepia officinalis, said study researcher John Simon, a professor of chemistry at the University of Virginia. There are signs that amino acids, the molecules that make up proteins, still persist in fossilized pigment, Simon added, which would give researchers an unprecedented look at the building blocks of nature's colors."
Now for the kicker- "The 'aha moment' for me was when we looked at the techniques for chemical bonding and we couldn't find anything that distinguished the pigment in the fossil from the pigment in a modern-day cuttlefish, which suggests the pigment hasn't changed in 160 million years," Simon said. "When I think about other evolutionary transitions that just amazes me."Of course it hasn't change in 160 million years...it isn't millions of years old and was CREATED as IS....

Critic of SDA Church D.M. Canright in his own words....Which Canright was right?
Well, lets see what God has to say.... If ye love me, keep my commandments. John 14:15
D.M. Canright: "Now, under Christ, we are delivered from the law; the law is
dead." Seventh-day Adventism Renounced, p. 331"The letter of the law is not
binding upon Christians as a coercive code." Ibid., p. 330."We have
something better than the decalogue." Ibid., p. 355.
That was the
converted to Baptist minister Canright in 1889.
But only 3 years prior while
still an Adventist we quote:
"Thus we see that whenever the ten
commandments are mentioned, or any one of them, either by Jesus or His apostles,
they are always praised, exalted, and enforced. That law is held up as the
standard of life, the test of character, and the rule of judgement." The Two

Deuteronomy 5:11
Hmmm...what's in a name?
*********************
Names of IndividualsGod has made it clear that His own name is not to be taken lightly as one of the Ten Commandments is a decree to reverence the name of the Lord. Sacred history also reveals God’s interest in the names of certain other individuals. For example …
- Abraham, the father of the faithful, and his wife, Sarah, were once merely Abram and Sarai before God renamed them.
- After his night of physical and spiritual wrestling, the Lord changed “Jacob” to “Israel,” a name clearly associated with the name of God.
- At his conversion on the road to Damascus, “Saul,” the enemy of Christ, becomes “Paul,” the emissary for Christ.
- Daniel, though given the name Belteshazzar by his Babylonian captors, refused to refer to himself by that name because his Hebrew name, meaning “God is my judge,” was a standing rebuke to the heathenism in which he was immersed.
- Then, of course, there was the naming of John the Baptist … this powerful forerunner of Christ.
SabbathAs Seventh-day Adventists living on the very brink of eternity we are not to minimize our “seventh-day” distinctiveness, we are to accentuate it, giving the trumpet a certain sound. We are told in the same book [Selected Messages, vol. 2] page 370, that, “The Lord has permitted the enemy of truth to make a determined effort against the Sabbath of the fourth commandment. He designs by this means to awaken a decided interest in that question which is a test for the last days. This will open the way for the third angel’s message to be proclaimed with power.”
Second ComingIn the same way that “Seventh-day” reminds us of where we came from, as Artur [Stele] explained to us this morning, “Adventist” tells us where we are going. We are waiting for the imminent return of our Lord Jesus Christ, and look forward to it as the culmination of all of earth’s history. The literal return of Christ,
