The "Really" File - (Gold Angels & 1849 Gold Rush?)
Did Mr. Jansen get a picture of this "gold angel" standing over L.A. with his cell phone? Most people would have....of course when your FIBBING you likely wouldn't have a pic of the event since the event NEVER HAPPENED......these people have no shame....
....they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart.
Jeremiah 14:14
"History was made in Los Angeles on Saturday as Lou Engle, Mike Bickle, CIndy Jacobs, Jack Hayford and other generals of the faith
gathered at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum for Azusa Now.
Jeff Jansen, founder of Global Fire Ministries, told Charisma News he believes it was one of the most significant events of the past few decades.
"Amidst the worship and intercession I believe something highly significant has shifted in the spirit and that we have stepped into a new timeline of revival in the Lord that will result in revival fires burning in not only America but the nations of the earth," Jansen says.
Jansen reminds that Azusa street revival of 1906 changed the course of world history as many new denominations were birthed
through the raw supernatural power and Glory of God. So now 110 years later another fresh move of God is now being birthed and fresh revival fires will burn in many cities in the nations of the earth.
"As we were driving on Interstate 5 to the Azusa Now event on April 9, I saw a large gold angel standing over LA," Jansen says. "The Lord said, 'Just as the 1849 gold rush drew people to California ... So 4/9 2016 will mark a new gold rush of divine proportion that will once again draw the nations into revival." Charisma

Creation Moment 12/22/2016 - Lobster Surprise

"Homing pigeons are valued because of their highly developed sense of direction, and this includes the ability to read the Earth's

Until now, those animals classified as "lower animals" on the evolutionary scale were not expected to have such navigation abilities. However, this ability has now been confirmed in – of all things – the Caribbean spiny lobster.
Scientists were surprised that a so-called "lower invertebrate" has a navigation system as sophisticated as a homing pigeon. But they shouldn't be surprised. The same wise Creator made both creatures." CrMm

SCAM ALERT - Kevin Zadai
---SCAM ALERT---
Recently on the "Christian" Mystic Sid Roth's program, Kevin Zadai claims that during surgery he found himself on the other side of the veil watching the doctor trying to revive his lifeless body. He claims Jesus appeared to him in the operating room and revealed that every person who knows the Lord has a "God Package" inside of them...
He says he transformed into his "Resurrection Body". He also claimed in an airplane people would weep as he passed them because he had a presence about him....Uhmmm.....did Sid Roth do any investigative journalism to verify the claims?
He claims while on the operating table Jesus showed him that he (Kevin) had a "word vest" on of all the words people spoke against him.
Another claim is that Jesus encouraged him to speak in tongues.
Also, he claims angels have briefing books.....
Of course they were hawking his book series and a guide to participating in the supernatural as well as a music CD....all which he claims came to him by praying in tongues for 5 days then interpreting it....and he will teach you how to be visited by Jesus and angels....
COME ON PEOPLE....DON'T FALL FOR THIS NONSENSE
In their greed they will make up clever lies to get hold of your money.

Creation Moment 12/21/2016 - Papal Assault on Sabbath Commandment
For in six days the LORD
made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is,
and rested the seventh day:
wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day,
and hallowed it.
Exodus 20:11
"THE theories of evolution and the Big Bang are real and God is not "a magician with a magic wand", Pope Francis has declared. Speaking at the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, the Pope made comments which experts said put an end to the "pseudo theories" of creationism and intelligent design that some argue were encouraged
Francis explained that both scientific theories were not incompatible with the existence of a creator - arguing instead that they "require it".
"When we read about Creation in Genesis, we run the risk of imagining God was a magician, with a magic wand able to do everything. But that is not so," Francis said.
"Evolution in nature is not inconsistent with the notion of creation, because evolution requires the creation of beings that evolve."
But Pope Francis's comments were more in keeping with the progressive work of Pope Pius XII, who opened the door to the idea of evolution and actively welcomed the Big Bang theory. In 1996, John Paul II went further and suggested evolution was "more than a hypothesis" and "effectively proven fact".
Yet more recently, Benedict XVI and his close advisors have apparently endorsed the idea that intelligent design underpins evolution - the idea that natural selection on its own is insufficient to explain the complexity of the world. In 2005, his close associate Cardinal Schoenborn wrote an article saying "evolution in the sense of common ancestry might be true, but evolution in the neo-Darwinian sense - an unguided, unplanned process - is not".
Giovanni Bignami, a professor and president of Italy's National Institute for Astrophysics, told the Italian news agency Adnkronos: "The pope's statement is significant. We are the direct descendents from the Big Bang that created the universe. Evolution came from creation."

Response to a Universalist
A UNIVERSALIST is someone who believes that ALL, Universally, will be saved. This HERESY was at it's peak in the 1800's resulting in the formation of the Universalist Church. In the latter half of the 1900's they joined with the Unitarian Church.This FALSE DOCTRINE has resurfaced recently on the theological left of Christendom by those who call themselves "progressives".
This is a response with the Word of God, point by point, to an article by Baptist minister Chuck Queen.
"First, I am a universalist because I need a believable God. I need a larger, bigger God than a God who separates humanity on the basis of beliefs or some other measure of judgment. If God judges people on the basis of this life alone, then God would not be a fair, just, loving, or believable God."
Dear Chuck -- For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
2 Corinthians 5:10
"Second, I am a universalist because it compels me to interpret and apply my sacred texts with a bias toward love. I was once a biblical inerrantist and was completely blind to my biases and the biases of the biblical writers. Now I can fully accept the imperfect humanity of the biblical authors and the limitations and biases we the readers bring to these texts. It is liberating to see biblical texts for what they are. Some are highly enlightened, potentially transforming, and expressive of the highest level of consciousness. Other texts are simply punitive, petty, and retributive, reflecting a much lower stage of consciousness."
Dear Chuck -- All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
2 Timothy 3:16
"And this brings me to the third reason I am a universalist. My universalism compels me to be a better person–a more loving, compassionate, caring, merciful person."
Dear Chuck -- But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf;

IN the NEWS - Santa Claus Brawl?
"Scientists at a university in Liverpool recently unveiled what they say is the most realistic portrait ever created of St. Nicholas of Myra, the popular 4th Century bishop best known as the inspiration for the modern-day figure of Santa Claus.
Researchers at Liverpool John Moores University’s Face Lab used a facial reconstruction system and
3D interactive technology to create the portrait, which was unveiled on December 6, the feast day of St. Nicholas.
University Professor Caroline Wilkinson said the reconstruction relied on “all the skeletal and historical material” available, the BBC reports. A university spokeswoman said the new image uses “the most up-to-date anatomical standards, Turkish tissue depth data and CGI techniques.”
Among the features depicted in the saint’s image is a broken nose, which Wilkinson said had “healed asymmetrically, giving him a characteristic nose and rugged facial appearance.”
St. Nicholas lived 270-343 A.D. He was the bishop of Myra, in southern Turkey.
During his years as bishop, he was imprisoned during the Diocletian persecution, then later released when Constantine came to power.
He was known for his staunch defense of the faith, as well as his often anonymous generosity toward those in need.
Stories surrounding the saint abound. He is believed to have once rescued three sisters from being sold into slavery by throwing bags of gold through an open window into their house to pay their family’s debts.
Another popular story holds that he became so enraged by the heretic Arius - who claimed that Christ was not truly God - that he punched him during a heated debate at the Council of Nicea in 325 A.D.
Based on the broken nose in the saint’s facial reconstruction, maybe Arius punched him back." CRUX

Where is the way where light dwelleth?
and as for darkness, where is the place thereof,..
....declare, if thou hast understanding.
Job 38:19,4
"Dark matter, supposedly the most abundant form of mass in the cosmos, declines to show up in devices designed to detect it. And it refuses to appear in experiments constructed to make it.For decades, physicists specializing in subatomic particles have expected to find an entirely new species of matter, a type never
Billions of these dark matter particles ought to be passing through your body every second. Your body wouldn’t notice, but large, sophisticated detectors should record a vibration or flash of light when a dark matter particle collides with an atomic nucleus in the detecting material.
*And yet such experiments repeatedly come up empty. In August and September, for instance, three search teams reported no luck detecting dark matter particles. These were just the latest disappointing reports from similar searches over the last two decades.
*Many physicists fully expected the world’s most powerful particle collider — the Large Hadron Collider outside Geneva — to produce WIMPs. But just as direct dark matter detection experiments have failed to spot them, the LHC has reported no sign of creating them.
At a deeper level, the double failure calls into question the very strategies for success that 20th century physics established. Perhaps the power of symmetry principles to reveal nature’s secrets has been drained, and a novel insight into how to pry secrets from nature awaits discovery. And the confidence provided by converging motivations may turn out to be more like wishful thinking than rigorous reasoning." ScienceNews

A Noble Character
Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
Ephesians 5:1
It does not come to us by accident.
A noble character is earned by individual effort through the merits and grace of Christ.
God gives the talents,
the powers of the mind;
we form the character.
It is formed by hard, stern battles with self. Conflict after conflict must be waged against hereditary tendencies."

Creation Moment 12/19/2016 - A "Round" in Kepler
Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son,
whom he hath appointed heir of all things,
by whom also he made the worlds;
Hebrews 1:2
More uniqueness in the Kepler solar system. Besides the planets already covered in this blog, including the recent finding of 2 "water worlds" in Kepler, another unique planet can be added to the list.....In evolutionary cosmology the fact that each planet is unique in our solar system is known as the "uniqueness problem"...(such as shape, size, color, geological makeup,etc.).....but apparently the problem of unique planets isn't unique to just our solar system...."News flash! This just in: a star is round!
As a rule, stars, planets, and other celestial objects spin, and as they whirl they bulge out along their equators, meaning they’re shaped more like squat onions than perfect spheres. Rotational forces
So astronomers were intrigued to now find a star that’s round to within 0.0002% — a shape so uniform, the authors called it “the most spherical natural object ever measured.”
Gizon’s team was able to measure KIC 11145123’s shape by modeling sound waves as they bounced off the star’s surface and back into its interior. If you pluck a guitar string, only a certain number of waves can vibrate along the string depending on its length; similarly, only certain frequencies can vibrate within a star depending on its shape. By measuring the frequencies of different modes, the astronomers could determine the star’s radius at different latitudes.
The result, an equator that bulges only 0.0002% more than the poles, is only one-third as squat as astronomers expected, given the star’s rotation. The authors suggest that a weak magnetic field may surround the star’s equator like a girdle, keeping the star in trim spherical shape.
If we limit the comparison to other stars, then the answer — for now, at least — becomes more straightforward: yes, this is the roundest star known... but thousands of transitless stars are a treasure trove waiting for curious asteroseismologists." Sky&Telescope

IN the NEWS - DISPICABLE
What National Geographic is doing, by promoting a 9 year old "transgender" activist, and by giving the 9 year old a public platform, is DISPICABLE.....Yet as many cringe upon hearing the story, many more will be "moved" by it & will allow their worldviews to be shaped by it, including many self proclaimed so-called Christians.
The whole point of the story is to gain more support in the arena of public opinion for this kind of perversion...by hiding behind a confused 9 year old child to promote it & generate headlines.
And the obvious question: what kind of parents let their 9 year old boy act & dress like a girl for attention on YouTube, then allow their child to be paraded by depraved secular journalists into the public spotlight?
"As part of its January 2017 issue exploring our evolving understandings and definitions of gender, National Geographic is featuring nine-year-old transgender rights activist Avery Jackson on its cover—the first time a trans person has made the cover of the magazine.
Jackson rose to stardom last year when she began documenting her transition with “Avery Chats,” a series of YouTube videos describing how she came to understand her identity at such a young age and eventually came out to her parents as trans.
“When I was born, doctors said I was a boy, but I knew in my heart I was a girl,” Jackson explained in her first video. “So I may have some boy body parts, but that’s not wrong, that is OK.”
“The best thing about being a girl is, now I don’t have to pretend to be a boy,” the quote reads." NationalGeographic

SDA History - Historical Battle over the Trinity
For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
Colossians 2:9
"The last decade has seen increased antitrinitarian activity within the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
Four reasons for this activity should be mentioned.
(1) The availability of information through the Internet.
(2) Several other Adventist groups that emerged from the Millerite movement continue to hold to an antitrinitarian perspective. Examples would be the Church of God (Seventh Day), also known as the Marion Party; the previous view of the Worldwide Church of God; the Atlanta Church of God in Georgia (formerly of Oregon, Illinois, or the Age to Come Adventists), and Jehovah’s Witnesses (that branched from the Advent Christian Church). It should be noted that the Advent Christians, like Seventh-day Adventists, have embraced the trinitarian view.
(3) Some think that the Trinity doctrine comes from Catholic theology and therefore must be false. Many have not realized that the Catholic doctrine of the Trinity has differences from the Seventh-day Adventist biblical doctrine of the Trinity. These include eternal generation of the Son and Divine impassibility, which are influenced by Greek philosophy.
(4) Perhaps most significant, over the last few decades, some
The period after the 1888 Minneapolis General Conference saw a new emphasis on Jesus and the plan of salvation. This led to a consideration of His deity and what it meant for the redemption of humanity. A. T. Jones was among the first (with the exception of Ellen White) to suggest that Christ was eternally preexistent. Jones emphasized Colossians 2:9 and the idea that in Christ was the “fullness of the Godhead bodily.” He also described Christ as ‘the eternal Word.’ Though he avoided the word Trinity, in 1899 he wrote, “God is one. Jesus Christ is one. The Holy Spirit is one. And
Ellen White played a prophetic role in confirming the eternal deity of Jesus and the Three-Person Godhead. As early as 1878, she referred to Jesus as the “eternal Son of God.” In The Desire of Ages, she wrote, “[Christ] announced Himself to be the self-existent One” and “In Christ is life, original, unborrowed, underived.” She wrote of the Holy Spirit as the “Third Person of the Godhead.” Ellen White played an important role in urging the church toward a biblical trinitarian position.
During the 1940s, an ever-increasing majority of the church believed in the eternal, underived deity of Christ and the personhood of the Holy Spirit, yet there were some who held back and even actively resisted the change. These were mainly comprised of a few older ministers and Bible teachers such as J. S. Washburn, C. S. Longacre, and W. R. French.
The process of adopting the Trinity continued from 1900 to 1950. Key influences in the change were
(1) repeated published biblical studies on the topic,
(2) Ellen White’s clear statements,
(3) Adventist response to the attacks of modern liberalism on the deity of Christ and His virgin birth, and
(4) F. M. Wilcox’s statement of Fundamental Beliefs and his Review and Herald editorials." Merlin D. Burt
Creation Moment 12/18/2016 - Evolution = Jesus "Unemployed"?
He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh:
the Lord shall have them in derision.
Psalm 2:4
"I think that evolution is absolutely the death knell of Christianity." These words were spoken by atheist Frank Zindler, and they make it very clear what the origins debate is really all about.
Zindler described how he reached that conclusion. "The most
He goes on to say that evolution means that Adam and Eve never really existed. In his own words, "Now that we know that Adam and Eve never were real people, the central myth of Christianity is destroyed."
And why is that? He continues, and I quote: "If there never was an Adam and Eve, there never was an original sin. If there never was an original sin, there is no need of salvation. If there is no need of salvation, there is no need of a savior. And I submit that puts Jesus, historical or otherwise, into the ranks of the unemployed."
Yes, atheists foolishly think that evolution is the death knell of Christianity. In reality, biology – with its established fact that life comes only from life – points directly to our Creator. Biology is actually the death knell of atheism and evolution." CrMn

Grand Canyon: Flood Evidence
And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered. Genesis 7:19
"Geologist Dr. Steven A. Austin has rafted through Grand Canyon, helicoptered into the Mount St.
Grand Canyon has figured prominently in Steve’s geological career. In 1994, he published a creationist classic, Grand Canyon: Monument to Catastrophe.
“That book came out of the guide books I produced for the tours we conducted,” Steve said. “Grand Canyon is supposedly an icon for evolution but now it’s an icon of Creation and the Flood.”One spectacular evidence of catastrophe that Steve discovered in Grand Canyon was a thick bed containing multitudes of fossil nautiloids. Shaped like a skinny dunce’s cap, nautiloid shells came from an animal that was like an octopus, or cuttlefish.
The shells are exposed in the walls of Grand Canyon in a 2-metre layer of rock called the Whitmore Nautiloid Bed. It’s a huge bed that extends over 300 km (200 miles), as far west as Las Vegas, Nevada.
“I believe the bed was formed by an underwater mud flow,” Steve said. “The water was full of mud, what we call a slurry, and so was much denser than the surrounding water. The slurry rushed down the steep slopes of the underwater mountains, gathering speed
like an avalanche. And it careered across the ocean floor as fast as a semi on the freeway.”
“These flows can change suddenly. A high speed slurry can start out as a laminar flow, where the fluid travels in regular, streamlined paths. Then, it can suddenly turn turbulent where the fluid flow is curly and irregular. You can see the same effect in the smoke from a candle that has just been put out.” “Turbulent flow can’t carry the mud so it dumps its load suddenly across the ocean floor.”
“And that is what happened to the nautiloid shells. They were deposited quickly, frozen in time. One in every seven is standing vertical in the bed. The others tend to point the same way indicating the direction of the slurry flow. It’s a very interesting arrangement of fossils.” CMI

Creation Moment 12/17/2016 - Biochemical Symphony
....for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:
Psalm 139:14
"After waking up this morning, your body began a well-established set of procedures to prepare for the day: heart rate ramped up, body temperature increased, and hormone levels shifted. And tonight, you’ll probably start to feel sleepy around the same time you did last night, as other physiological 
This predictable cycle, of course, is your circadian rhythm, the hard-wired biological changes that help your body achieve its full set of diurnal activities, from sleep at night to optimal coordination around 2:30 PM and greatest strength at roughly 5:00 PM.
To qualify as a “circadian,” a biological cycle must be endogenous (self-programmed, rather than merely a response to environmental conditions), temperature resistant (despite the changing kinetics of different thermal regimes), and re-settable (think about your latest transition to a new time zone, jetlagged as it may have been). This doesn’t just happen in animals that sleep at night: plants, bacteria, and fungi have all been shown to prepare biochemically for daily cycles.
A new report led by Arisa Hirano, a researcher at the University of California, San Francisco, highlights a critical component of circadian rhythm: a set of changes to key proteins that govern a number of biochemical pathways.
These changes are called post-translational modifications – molecular decorations that adorn proteins and affect their activity. It all happens after a gene has been transcribed into RNA and translated into protein form. The fact that biological activity can be influenced downstream of DNA initially came as a surprise, undermining the supremacy of the gene as the arbiter of all biochemical function. But it turns out that these modifications are pervasive, and that a single gene can be customized in a nearly endless number of ways. Over
Some of the most critical modifications affect PER proteins, which manage much of the cell cycle by turning other genes on or off, depending on the time of day.
Hirano describes an intricately controlled set of reactions that combine to make circadian rhythms possible. It’s a remarkable...phenomenon, a way for organisms to live efficiently within the framework of planetary dynamics. Biological reactions operate on the sub-second time scale, while the Earth changes state over several hours. Linking these two time scales is not an obvious process, and doing it predictively – knowing at a physiological level that what happened yesterday will probably happen today – requires a well tuned biochemical symphony."

Lesson from producing the Rainbow
It is not justice alone that is to be maintained; for this would eclipse the glory of the rainbow of promise above the throne; man could see only the penalty of the law. Were there no justice, no penalty, there would be no stability to the government of God.
It is the mingling of judgment and mercy that makes salvation full and complete. It is the blending of the two that leads us, as we view the world's Redeemer and the law of Jehovah, to exclaim, “Thy gentleness hath made me great." Psalm 18:35
If we were defective in character, we could not pass the gates that mercy has opened to the obedient; for justice stands at the entrance, and demands holiness, purity, in all who would see God. Were justice extinct, and were it possible for divine mercy to open the gates to the whole race, irrespective of character, there would be a worse condition of disaffection and rebellion in heaven than before Satan was expelled."

Creation Moment 12/16/2016 - #1 Reason for Apostasizing
Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.
Psalm 55:5
"The denial of the Genesis account is not a matter to be taken lightly by Christians," warns nuclear physicist Brandon van der Ventel. "If the biblical record is not true, then we are left with
naturalism and atheism, of which the consequences are truly horrific."
"It is important to understand," he said, "that dinosaur bones, for example, are not found with a time stamp attached to them. Every publicized age is based on certain assumptions, and conflicting radioactive dates are commonplace." Ventel said that Christians "need to hold fast to the knowledge that God created the universe with a specific order." He argues that "if faith in the Genesis account is lost, the validity of the rest of the Bible can be questioned." He further contends that "the theory of evolution is the number-one reason why many Christians no longer believe in the creation account." CrMm

The "TEST" of Today
...choose you this day whom ye will serve;...So then, there remains a sabbath rest for the people of God;
Joshua 24:15/Hebrews 4:9 RSV
"God has given full directions regarding his law, *so that none need be left in darkness,
*unless they choose darkness rather than light.
But the apostasy of the Jewish nation represents the apostasy that will be made by the world in the last days. Just as the Jews chose darkness in regard to the message that Christ came to the world to
Sanctified and blessed by God, the Sabbath was designed to be the great memorial of creation, and a blessing to mankind. But men are trampling it underfoot.
It is the test of today, as Christ was the test when he was in our world in human form. It will ever stand unmoved, a rock of offense to the Christian world, as was Christ to the Jewish nation. As the rejection of Christ decided the eternal destiny of the Jews, so the rejection of God's holy memorial will decide the fate of many professing Christians."
