Axiomatic of the Scriptures

Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of Me. John 5:39

"As long as the Bible is believed to be the word of God, so long will it
be denied. 
As long as the Scriptures shall be held as of authority, so long will they be opposed as such. 
So long as we may present the Scriptures as the word of God, just so long shall we have to defend them as such." 
A.T. Jones

Creation Moment 7/3/2025 - Arrowhead Analogy

Seeming to be wise, they were in fact foolish,... Romans 1:22 BBE

"For example, when archaeologists find an arrowhead, they can tell it
must have been
designed, even though they haven’t seen the designer.  
*Yet the materialistic bias of many evolutionists means that they reject an intelligent source for the literally encyclopedic information carried in every living cell."

The line of demarcation

And this is love, 
that we walk after His commandments. 
This is the commandment, 
That, as ye have heard from the beginning, 
ye should walk in it. 
2 John 1:6 
“The world can only be warned by seeing those 
--who believe the truth sanctified through the truth, 
--acting upon high and holy principles, 
--showing in a high, elevated sense, the line of demarcation between those who keep the commandments of God and those who trample them under their feet.” E.G.W.

Creation Moment 7/2/2025 - The Game

Claiming to be wise, they instead became utter fools. 
Romans 1:22 NLT

"Many evolutionists chide creationists not because of the facts, but because creationists refuse to play by the current rules of the game that exclude supernatural creation a priori.

That it is indeed a ‘game’ was proclaimed by the evolutionary biologist Richard Dickerson:
"Science is fundamentally a game. It is a game with one overriding
and defining rule:
Rule #1: Let us see how far and to what extent we can explain the behavior of the physical and material universe in terms of purely physical and material causes, without invoking the supernatural."

In practice, the ‘game’ is extended to trying to explain not just the behavior, but the origin of everything without the supernatural." CMI

When that spirit enters the Church

In honor preferring one another. Romans 12:10

"At one time two of the disciples made a request, through their mother, for the two highest places in Christ’s kingdom. When the rest of the
disciples heard of it, they were moved with indignation against the two. They thought that it was unfair for the two to steal a march on them in a place for preferment.

Whenever a spirit of seeking a position for oneself, or a disposition to exercise authority over another, comes into the church, then it is the world, and not the church of Christ." 
E.J. Waggoner

Papal Notes - A little bit about who the new Pope Leo is named after

And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. Revelation 13:15

"Another statement from the same paper from a speech by Edgar H. Gans entitled, "The Catholic Church in America," is published in the Chicago Herald of September 5, 1893. Speaking of the spirit of liberty as exemplified in the United States and gathering the statement concerning this spirit of liberty from a quotation from Webster, the speaker says:
"The Catholic church welcomes this bright and beautiful spirit and takes it to her bosom, for she is its foster mother. With tender devotion has she nourished it through the ages. Time and again has she rescued it from the bold and impious hands of despots, whether they be kings, emperors, or a popular majority enthroned. Within the church of God is the only true sovereign and the source of all power. The sovereignty of the people comes from him as a sacred trust, and they must use this trust for the common weal."

We shall find presently from the pope's encyclical that he, in the place of God, is the guardian and the source of this sovereignty. We now read the closing statement of this same speech of Mr. Gans'. 
The statement is identical with one which we read last night:
"We have among us our prophets of Israel, divinely commissioned, as
were the holy men of old, to guide, instruct, ennoble, and elevate the nation; and the
American people will have achieved their highest glory when they seek the words of wisdom and truth from their lips--when they voluntarily submit to the gentle ministrations of the priests and the bishops of the holy Catholic church."

These statements need no comment. 

We now read from a speech by Bishop John A. Waterson, of Columbus, in the Catholic Congress, and published in the Chicago Herald, November 6. His speech is upon Leo and Satolli, and he says this, speaking of Leo:
"By his personal dignity and goodness, the practical wisdom of his teachings and the firmness of his acts, he is giving the world to understand that the pope is a great thing in the world and for the world. [Loud cheers.] And intellects heretofore rebellious are accustoming themselves to think that, if society is to be saved from a condition worse in some respects than that of pagan times, it is from the Vatican the savior is to come. [Renewed cheering.]"

Now I turn to some other statements made last fall in connection
with the then coming encyclical of the
pope
A letter from Rome dated October 14, 1894, printed in the Catholic Standard of November 3, 1894, has this:
"The United States of America, it can be said without exaggeration, is the chief thought of Leo XIII in the government of the Roman and universal Catholic Church."

I would like to comment a little upon this as we go along. 
Q: Why is it that Leo thinks so constantly of the United States?"

Creation Moment 7/1/25 - The Debate

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 
Genesis 1:1
"Creationists often appeal to the facts of science to support their view, and evolutionists often appeal to philosophical assumptions from outside science. 
While creationists are often criticized for starting with a bias, evolutionists also start with a bias, as many of them admit. 
The debate between creation and evolution is primarily a dispute between two worldviews, with mutually incompatible underlying assumptions."
