Spiritualist "Sleight" of the Reformation
That we henceforth be no more children,
tossed to and fro,
and carried about with every wind of doctrine,
by the sleight of men,... Ephesians 4:14
"Sebastian Franck (1499-1542). A well-educated man, he was ordained as a priest but soon became a member of the Lutheran clergy.
By 1530 he had moved to the spiritualist position and left the Lutheran church. In an early writing, he referred to the new sects of Lutherans, Zwinglians, and Anabaptists and declared that a fourth the spiritualist would reject all outward forms.
--The outward church, according to him, went up to Heaven after the death of the Apostles, so that for fourteen hundred years there had existed no true outward church or sacrament. The inner truth remained and was received by the faithful from the Spirit.
--All outward things in the church have been done away with and are not to be restored.
--He had a broad conception of the nature of the true church, declaring there were many Christians who had never heard of Christ, as among the heathen and Turks.
--Like Schwenckfeld, he believed that the Bible could not be understood except by those who are taught of God, and he advised against too much reliance on the literal word of Scripture.
--One of Franck's numerous writings was a translation of Agrippa von Nettesheim's book on the vanity of the sciences. Since all knowledge is worthless, according to him, error and truth are equally distributed among Christians and non-Christians, orthodox and heretics.
--He claimed to have learned more from Plato, Plotinus, and Hermes Trismegistus than from Moses."

IN the NEWS - Talk about a FALSE "Christ"
For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
Mark 13:22
"Self-styled Texas prophet and internet preacher Joshua Holmes, who went viral in recent months for his ministry theatrics that led many of his female followers to start calling him “Jesus in the
flesh," has been captured in leaked video recordings indulging in explicit sexual activity with two women who are not his wife.
Media personality Larry Reid, first reported on his show last Wednesday that he was sent the explicit recordings. The recordings have also been shared on Twitter and YouTube and with The Christian Post.
“This is a sex tape. This is a sexual escapade captured on the phone,” Reid told his audience about the recordings.
Holmes, a flamboyant young minister, whom many critics have dismissed as a dangerous departure from orthodox Christianity, has been defended by his followers as “Jesus in the flesh” as he professes healings and "money miracles."
Last month he was a featured guest of Bishop George G. Bloomer on the network where he delivered a vague prophesy about what 2019 would look like."

IN the NEWS - Castro touts his Catholicism
And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
Genesis 6:6
So basically, to be in his political sphere, Castro has to betray his God on abortion, the LGBT agenda as well as attach himself to the gospel of the so-called "social justice" movement and sell out his country's sovereignty on border security to Pope Francis...
"Julian Castro went into detail about his Catholic background in an interview he gave to Religion News Service. RNS reporter Jack Jenkins asked Castro about why the former mayor of San Antonio and U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development chose to announce his candidacy in San Antonio’s Plaza Guadalupe, across from Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church.
Castro on January 12 became one of nine Democrats who have joined the 2020 presidential race so far.
“I had my announcement at the heart of the west side of San Antonio, where I grew up,” Castro, 44, said. “The Our Lady of Guadalupe Church was really where my story started on the west side of the city, because I was baptized there, I grew up not far from there and went to school close to there."
“What has always attracted me to the Catholic faith is the social justice aspect of it, and the vision that I articulated for the country (in my announcement speech) very much is in keeping with the social justice component of the Catholic faith.” Castro said.
Challenged as to how he can reconcile his support for legal abortion and same-sex marriage, Castro told the interviewer: “I separate any one faith or belief system from the responsibility that one has in public service—to represent everyone. I recognize that I do have those disagreements (with the pope), but I also recognize that if I’m president of the United States I need to serve everybody in the country.
And I also have just a personal belief in support of members of the LGBTQ community — I believe in their equality — and also support a woman’s right to choose. I believe that those things are sound public policy,” he opined.
Asked about the immigration policies of President Donald J. Trump, Castro said he has been “pleased to hear Pope Francis speak out against those kinds of policies. His is an important voice.”

Creation Moment 2/28/2019 - Periodic Table
For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible,...
Colossians 1:16
"Chemists have a scheme called the periodic table of the elements. The elements populate the table lined up by their atomic number which is the number of protons in the nucleus.
They are grouped into rows, and the vertical columns across the rows contain elements of similar characteristics. The column may be noble gases (column 0), reactive metals (column 1), other metals, non-metals (column 4 and up), and reactive gasses (column 7).
It turns out that there is a physical basis for the table, and this has to do with the electron shell of the atom.
The first shell, the so-called K shell can accommodate only two electrons, so only the first two elements have only a K-shell, hydrogen (one electron) and helium (two electrons).
The next element has three protons and therefore three electrons, and then the next shell is needed for the third electron.
The next shell is called the L-shell and can accommodate eight electrons. That shell is progressively filled with electrons until there are eight and then it is full. This corresponds to the second row of the table with elements three to ten, the latter having ten electrons with two in the K shell and eight in the L-shell.
Add one more proton making eleven now, a new shell is again added, the L-shell, which can accommodate up to eight more electrons. Atomic number eleven gives us the metal: sodium. And the process continues as you move up the scale of adding to the size of the nucleus. I should mention at this point there has been no mention of adding neutrons in addition to protons. Adding neutrons affects the atomic weight, but not the basic nature of the element.
Electrons have always spun, since they were each created. What keeps them going? That is original perpetual motion! The chart showing electron shells is:
Now let me point out some interesting features that these two tables show. First, looking at the periodic table with its rows and columns, if you look at the columns all the elements in the column have pretty much similar characteristics. For example, column 0 starts with the noble gas helium and the rest of the boxes going down with neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon are also noble gasses.
Then column 1 starting with lithium and going down are pretty much reactive metals. This column starts with lithium, then sodium (reacts strongly with even water), potassium (reacts so strongly with water that it bursts into flame), then rubidium, cesium and then francium.
Column 2 starting with beryllium is all reactive metals including magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, and then radium.
Column 3 has more metals starting with boron, then aluminum, selenium, yttrium, lanthanum, and actinium. Actually Column 3 starts the transition from metals to non-metals called metalloids with boron, then diagonally to silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, tellurium, and polonium.
Something interesting happens. Between columns 4 and 5, several rows down the table 14 elements show up called the rare earth metals, and just below these are nine elements called the uranium metals.
*Note that the left side of the periodic table contains elements called metals. The right side are non-metals.
The non-metals are from Column IV with familiar carbon, the source of all life, and moving across to nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, etc.
Now think about this: what makes the vertical columns is the addition of additional shells to contain more electrons as protons are added.
Let’s look at Column 1. All the newly added shells (above shells which are completely filled with electrons) have just one electron position. This gives each element metallic properties.
Column 2 now has the second electron position available, and everything in this column still has metallic properties.
As you move across the table to the right, each column has progressively one more electron position available, and moving down each column we see that each element has similar properties. How does this happen?
The thing that gives each element its unique characteristic is the number of protons in the nucleus. The number of electrons surrounding each nucleus can vary, from an even match of electrons to protons for an electrically neutral atom to a negative ion-atom if an extra electron is added, or a positive ion-atom if an electron is missing.
Now my bottom line question: how could nature construct itself to make such a marvelous and perfect constitution?
To construct everything in the universe to be based on such a foundation of minor changes in atomic structure resulting in widely differing types of matter. Just adding one proton to an atomic nucleus can change the resulting element from a gas to a metal. Wow!
Well, that is the way our universe operates, and this is way beyond any accidental assembly of nature. Think about this. The kind of super-intelligence and super-creative power that was required to put it all together vastly exceeds our understanding. At the very least, it leaves us awe-struck. And it all works perfectly!" CEH

Are You Mortified?
For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
Romans 8:13
"To mortify something means to put it to death. Paul taught in our text and in other passages that the “deeds of the body,” or its fleshly actions and appetites, all that pertains “to the old man,” should be mortified, or put to death.
It must also be an actual mortification in practice, for “they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit” (Galatians 5:24-25).
Elsewhere, Paul identifies specific deeds and attitudes that must be mortified. “Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence [or evil desires], and covetousness” (Colossians 3:5).
The first four listed will be recognized as various forms of sensual sins, indicating how detrimental this category of sin is to spiritual life.
The fifth is covetousness, or inordinate love of money and material things.

The fifth is covetousness, or inordinate love of money and material things.
These five comprise deadly sins to men and women of any historical age—particularly our own. If they are not put to death, they bring death, “for which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh” (v. 6).
It will be either death to the flesh,
It will be either death to the flesh,
or death to the spirit."

Truth about the Nephilim
"The increasingly popular interpretation of the following passage is that it relates a story of angels interbreeding with the human race,
and that this was a primary reason for God destroying most of humanity with the great flood.
First of all, it should be pointed out that angels are not humans, they are quite different creations of God. Satan and the other angels are spirit beings, and simply cannot have physical offspring (children).
They do not marry (Matt. 22:30, Mark 12:25), they are incapable of procreation, and so are genderless creatures.
Gen 6:1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
This verse is straightforward. The human population on earth began to increase in numbers.
Gen 6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
Now this verse is full of meaning. Some will point to Job 1:6, 2:1 and 38:7 where the same phrase "sons of God" is translated sometimes as angels, and conclude that this also refers to angels as well. The Hebrew words used are - ben: H1121 and 'elohiym: H430:
*The sons of God in Gen 6:2, in context, speaks of those men who were (or claimed to be) obedient to the will of God, they were the people of God, from the lineage of Seth (Gen. 5). *In opposition to this are the daughters of men (not obedient to God), from the lineage of Cain (Gen. 4). These woman were quite attractive and alluring, and had little trouble enticing the sons of God into intimate relations and marriage. In doing so, the sons of God quickly abandoned God for these women and their ways. Gen 6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
God in this verse has just set a period of probation of 120 years on the human race to repent of their wicked ways. It could not be allowed to continue. Gen 6:4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. The word "giants" here in the Hebrew is listed in Strong's as follows-
So rather than being physical giants, in contrast to the meek people of god, these people were rebellious bullies and tyrants, forceful in character and great in their sins. This same phrase of "giants" is also used to describe the Canaanites following the exodus (Num 13:33). Again, this probably referred to their godless and lawless character, as much as their physical stature.
Gen 6:5 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.
The fault here is laid squarely on the wickedness of the people themselves.
Gen 6:6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
Gen 6:7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
Based on a very narrow interpretation of the phrase "sons of God" as found here in Genesis, and bolstered by Job 1:6; 2:1; 38:7; and Psalms 29:1; 82:6, the case is made that this is referring to heavenly beings/angels that interbred with women, causing a ghastly mixed breed of creatures that God had to destroy.
It should be clear, to even a casual reader, that we have entered into the days of the Son of Man. History is repeating itself. There are "giants" on the Earth again.
The Nephilim, those who follow the way of Cain, and are bold in their rebellion against God, again are filling the earth with sin and violence. Man's cup of iniquity is again reaching the brim.
The door of probation is soon to close again on this wicked world, just as it did for the people of Noah's generation, but this will be for the final time."

"Delegates at the United Methodist Church special session of
General Conference, representing all of the global denomination, voted Tuesday to reject a measure called the “One Church Plan,” which would have allowed regional bodies of the denomination to determine their position on homosexuality.
Instead, delegates approved the “Traditional Plan” in a vote of 438-384.
The Plan maintains the denomination's stance against homosexuality, gay marriage, and the ordination of noncelibate homosexuals while promising to better enforce those rules."

More Incredible Diversity of Planets pointing towards DESIGN
"The newly-discovered planets orbit TOI-216, a star about 87% the Sun’s mass and 84% its diameter.
Also known as TIC 55652896 or GAIA DR2 4664811297844004352, the star is about 583 light-years away.
One of the new planets, named TOI-216b, is approximately 8.2
times Earth’s size and 26 times its mass.
It circles its parent star every 17 days at a distance of only 0.13 AU (one-third the distance between the Sun and Mercury).
This means the planet is heated intensely by the star, and has a surface temperature around 675 degrees Fahrenheit (357 degrees Celsius).
The second planet, TOI-216c, is 190 times more massive than the Earth and 11.3 times larger.
It is almost two times farther from the star (0.2 AU) than TOI-216b and has a surface temperature around 435 degrees Fahrenheit (224 degrees Celsius). A year on this planet is 34.6 days long.
“The TOI-216 planetary system displays some close similarities to the Kepler-9 system, but is 1.6 magnitudes brighter,” said lead author Dr. David Kipping.
“In both cases, one finds low-density gas giants in a 2:1 mean motion resonance orbiting a Sun-like star at similar periods (20 and 40 days). To a lesser degree, the system also resembles KOI-872.”

The Father of Mercies
The Lord is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.
Psalm 145:8
"Not one of us deserves God’s mercy,
*for “we have turned every one to his own way” (Isaiah 53:6), and “all have sinned, and come short of the glory of
God” (Romans 3:23).
*What we deserve is death and eternal separation from the God who made us. Nevertheless, “it is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not” (Lamentations 3:22).
*It is by His mercy, not our merit, that we are saved.
“Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us” (Titus 3:5).
--In fact, one of the very titles of God is “the Father of mercies” (2 Corinthians 1:3). Over and over the psalmist assures us that “his mercy endureth for ever” (26 times in Psalm 136:1-26; also Psalm 106:1; 107:1; 118:1; etc.).
Q: How can one possibly reject His mercy?
“Despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering?” (Romans 2:4)." HMM

What wrong things is Fletcher excited about this time?
--First, he says, the ammonia in Jupiter’s atmosphere was expected to be well mixed. “That idea has been turned on its head – the ammonia concentration is much less than expected.”
Expected by whom?
--Another surprise is that Jupiter’s famous bands extend much deeper than “expected” by atmospheric scientists. Fletcher continues,
--There is no solid core at Jupiter, apparently. Although no one can see what’s down there, new evidence suggests the presence of a “fluffy” core that extends halfway out from the center. That’s very, very different from the earth-sized solid core textbooks told us about for decades.
--And Jupiter’s magnetic field—strongest among the planets—also surprised the team, being formed much shallower than theory predicts. “If proven, this has substantial implications for studies of magnetic fields at all of the giant planets.”

The first findings from Juno, published in Science, indicate that many aspects of Jupiter have defied expectation – including the strength of its magnetic field, the shape of its core, the distribution of ammonia gas and the weather at its poles. It certainly makes this an exciting time to be a Jupiter scientist.

This is much deeper than what we’ve generally thought of as Jupiter’s “weather layer” in the upper few tens of kilometres. What’s more, that structure isn’t the same all the way down – it varies with depth, indicating a large, complex circulation pattern.And the surprises didn’t stop there.

If they break, then the search to find the missing pieces of the puzzle will provide deeper insights into the physics of the Jovian system. All these surprises have come from just the first perijove encounter, and I’m sure there are plenty more revelations to come.

"Jesus, the world's Redeemer, knows all His children by name, and on those who believe shall come the glory of God....
--Those who behold Jesus become changed to His image,
--become assimilated to His nature,
--and the glory of God that shines in the face of Jesus,
--is reflected in the lives of His followers.
It is by faith that the spiritual eye beholds the glory of Jesus.
---This glory is hidden until the Lord imparts the light of spiritual truth,
for the eye of reason cannot see it. ---
The glory and mystery of Christ remains incomprehensible, clouded by its excessive brightness, until the Lord flashes its meaning before the soul.... By faith the soul catches divine light from Jesus."

Creation Moment 2/25/2019 - Imperial Japan & Darwinism
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning... John 8:44
"....... the latest issue of World War II Magazine with the headline “Genius Racist Zealot Warrior: Japan’s Military ‘God’ Stopped at Nothing to Secure Victory.” The story is about the rise and fall of the important, but often ignored, Col Masanobu Tsuji (1901 – ca. 1961).
His influence even after the war was critical. Checking on Amazon, Tsuji authored 17 books. As Goldman notes, he was behind some of the most critical decisions in Japanese policy during WWII, and some of the most abhorrent ones.
When in a battle with Japan, if the American and Philippine solders surrendered, Tsuji believed it was morally right to kill them because “Japan was fighting a racial war in the Philippine[s] … and the white colonialists should be killed … [as should the] Filipinos who fought alongside them.”
An organization called the Black Dragon Society was the face of Japanese nationalism in World War II. The Black Dragons schemed and murdered their way from Japan to China, Korea, and South East Asia in pursuit of the Greater Japan. The Japanese Black Dragon Society was viciously anti-white and racist, but it “would be through the work of Colonel Masanobu Tsuji that racism would reach its bloody climax.”
In the revolution of the late 1800s, Japan was modernized. In the process, that included the introduction of Darwinism to the country. Several Darwinist professors from the United States were invited to lecture on Darwinism in major Japanese universities.
Harvard trained Darwinist Edward Morse arrived in Japan in 1887 and stayed for two years. He lectured on evolution at the leading Japanese university, the University of Tokyo, from 1877 to 1879. His lectures were later published in a book titled Animal Evolution. Morse attracted many Japanese who “smoothly accepted the facts and the theory of evolution.”
He also “made Darwinism fashionable among the public.”
The “Japanese people readily accepted the concept of evolution because, lacking Christianity, there was no religious opposition.”
One example that illustrated both the Darwinism theory and the Nazi philosophy, which teaches natural selection of the superior race by elimination of the inferior races, was a pamphlet published in 1934 by the Japanese Imperial Army that described war as “the father of creation and the mother of culture.”
The Asian nations used Darwinian
Darwinism, as was also the case in Nazi Germany, was an important factor, not only facilitating the war, but also in the horrible mistreatment, and at times torture, of the captured. The ongoing study of history has even further confirmed this fact. An example is the story of the Japanese Genius Racist Masanobu Tsuji, who, inspired by scientific racism, masterminded the torture and slaughter of many hundreds of thousands of innocent men."

evolutionary theories to represent the world as a battlefield in which different “races” struggled for survival.

Uriah Smith on the Lawyer's Question
"IN Matthew 22:35-40, we have the record of an interview between Christ and a certain lawyer who came to him tempting him, and saying, “Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment.
And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”
We ask the reader now to consider
--what answer Christ could have given, other than he did, to the lawyer’s question.
But, says the antinomian,
Q: if the ten commandments are the law of God, why did not Christ quote from the decalogue?
A: For the very obvious reason that it would be entirely wrong to discriminate between laws which come under the same principle; but, as we have seen, there are four which come under the principle of love to God, and six which belong to the principle of love to man.
To quote any one of these alone would be but a partial and imperfect presentation of the subject."

Gospel Gem: The Lawyers Question
Synergy of Matthew 22:34-40/Mark 12:28-31/Luke 10:25-28
Then one of them, which was a lawyer,
asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
Which is the first commandment of all?
And Jesus answered him,
The first of all the commandments is,
Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
Jesus said unto him,
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
This is the first and great commandment.
And the second is like, namely this,
Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
There is none other commandment greater than these.
On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
And the scribe said unto him,
Well, Master, thou hast said the truth:
for there is one God; and there is none other but he:
And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding,
and with all the soul, and with all the strength,
and to love his neighbor as himself,
is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly,
he said unto him,
Thou art not far from the kingdom of God.
Thou hast answered right:
this do, and thou shalt live.
And no man after that durst ask him any question.
