Creation Moment 12/23/2022 - 3 things every atheist ACTS IGNORANT of

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world 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

"Paul Sutter is a popular astronomer who writes for various science websites. When asked on Space.com this month, “How was the universe created?” he had various suggestions and things to say, but one possible answer—it had a Creator—was completely ignored:

Short answer: We don’t really know how the universe was created, though most astrophysicists believe it started with the Big Bang.

The big bang itself, though, does not answer the question. What happened before the big bang? Sutter professes complete ignorance on that point:

When we try to make sense of the universe when it was less than a second old, we have no theory of physics that can cope with the insanely high temperatures and pressures the universe experienced. All of our theories of physics break down, and we have no understanding of how particles, forces and fields operate in those conditions.

Sutter’s ignorance continues as he explores various speculative ideas from cosmologists:

• A singularity from which the “big bang” emerged makes no physical sense.
• We can’t figure out anything without “new physics.”
• The idea of a multiverse is “murky” as a “possible” idea.

But wait: science means knowledge. Sutter just admitted that he has no knowledge of anything that he is talking about. Apparently he would rather remain ignorant for the rest of his life than consider that fine tuning required a Fine Tuner, sense required a Logos, and creation required a Creator." CEH

O, solemn message!

And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice,... Rev.14:9

"Consequently the third angle's message, Rev. xiv, 9-12, is the

sealing message, containing the seal of the living God. 

 

There can be no message later than this,

 for it decides the destiny of all that hear it. 

All who reject it must suffer the unmingled wrath of God. And it is followed by the coming of the Son of man. 

 

From the fact that the third angel warns against the reception of the mark of the beast, we may readily infer that he bears the seal of God, which stands indirect opposition to that mark. Men are to choose between the two, and this choice decides their destiny. 

O, solemn message!" RFC

Creation Moment 12/22/2022 - Unity is the Testimony

"Similarity is not evidence for common ancestry (evolution), but rather for a common designer (creation). 

Think about the original Porsche and the Volkswagen ‘Beetle’ cars. They both have air-cooled, flat, horizontally-opposed, 4-cylinder engines in the rear, independent rear suspension, two doors, trunk in the front, and many other similarities. 

Q: Why do these two very different cars have so many similarities? 

A: Because they had the same designer! 

Whether similarity is morphological (shape, form) or biochemical, it is not an argument for evolution over creation. If humans were entirely different from all other living things, or indeed every living thing was entirely different, would this reveal the Creator to us? No, we could think that there must be many creators rather than one.  

The unity of the creation is testimony to the One True God who made it all 

 (For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, ...Romans 1:20)." CMI

Creation Moment 12/21/2022 - Simplifying the chimp / human DNA Similarity Claims

And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. Genesis 1:24

"The idea that human beings and chimps have close to 100% similarity in their DNA is often asserted. 

Early studies, using crude techniques and based on a small fraction of the genetic code, led to claims of 97% to 99% similarity, depending on who was telling the story. 

---However, with the chimp DNA now decoded, the similarity when all the DNA is included is not more than 87%  and arguably below 70% . 

 

Q: What if human and chimp DNA were, say, 98% homologous? 

Q: Would it mean that humans could have evolved from a common ancestor with chimps? 

A: Not at all. 

 

DNA carries its information in the sequence of four chemical compounds known as nucleotides, abbreviated C, G, A, T. 

Groups of three at a time of these chemical ‘letters’ are ‘read’ by complex translation machinery in the cell to determine the sequence of amino acids, of which there are 20 different types, to be incorporated into proteins. 

 

The human DNA has 3 billion nucleotides. The amount of information in these 3 billion base pairs in the DNA of every human cell has been compared to that in 1,000 books of 500 pages each. 

---So, if humans were ‘only’ 2% different, this still amounts to 60 million base pairs, equivalent to about 20 large books of information. Even this is an impossible barrier for mutations (random changes) to cross, even given the several million years claimed as the time available for this to happen."

Digging Deep into the Juxtaposition of the Seal and the Mark SERIES pt.3

"Q: Where are the signature and seal of this law? or has it none? 

A: Please read the commandment you passed by, --- "Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work; but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 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." 

---Ah! here it is. In six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea,

and all that in them is. The MAKER of all things is the author of the law. Here is His signature, at the bottom of that table which teaches our duty expressly to Him as our Maker. 

*Here is the seal of the living God-a. sign which distinguishes Him from all "the gods that have not made the heavens and the earth." (See Jer. x, 10-12.) This shows the extent of His dominion...."

Creation Moment 12/20/2022 - Scripture shows no hint of Darwinian Evolution

"Plants were to produce seed “after their kind” meaning that bean
plants were to produce bean seeds; and cattle would give birth to cattle, etc. (Gen. 1:11, 12, 21, 24, 25). 

So there is no hint in Scripture of any kind of an evolutionary process where one kind of organism would change into another kind." CMI

Digging Deep into the Juxtaposition of the Seal and the Mark SERIES pt.2

"Those who receive the seal of God, have the Lamb's "Father's name written in their foreheads" Rev. xiv, 1. 

Those who receive the mark of the beast, receive the "mark of his name." Verse11. 

Name is used in a figurative sense to denote authority. 

In the name of the people, in the name of the king, signify by the authority of the people, or of the king In the name of Jesus Christ, means by the authority of Jesus Christ. 

---Hence, the mark of the beast is a sign or token of his authority, standing in opposition to the sign of the authority of the Father."

Creation Moment 12/19/2022 - Underpinning this abandonment of faith in God is Evolution

"As nations turn their backs on God, living as if He does not exist,
sin abounds—political corruption, lying, slander, public displays of debauchery, violent crime, abortion, theft, adultery, drug taking, drunkenness, gambling and greed of all kinds. 

 

Economic woes follow as taxes increase and governments borrow money to pay for bigger and bigger police forces, jails, and social security systems to patch up the problems.

 

Underpinning this abandonment of faith in God is the widespread acceptance of evolutionary thinking—that everything made itself by natural processes; that God is not necessary. 

 

There is ‘design’, such people will admit, but no designer is necessary. The designed thing designed itself! 

This thinking, where the plain-as-day evidence for God’s existence (For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.  Rom. 1:19–20) is explained away, leads naturally to atheism (belief in no god) and secular humanism (man can chart his own course without God). Such thinking abounds in universities and governments today."

If you do not believe and love his institutions, you may obey them outwardly - carry out his requirements with your right hand, which is a symbol of outward actions.

Triune Godhead in the Sealing Process

"The third massage warns us against submitting to the authority of the beast and receiving the mark of his authority, and presents as the "commandments of God (the Father) and the faith of Jesus," (the Son.)

Creation Moment 12/18/2022 - No CREATOR = No MORALS

"The Bible begins with the statement: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Gen. 1:1). God’s existence is assumed, self-evident. In Psalm 14:1 we are told, “The fool has said in his heart, There is no God! They acted corruptly; they have done abominable works, there is none who does good.”

 

Here we see that the Bible connects corrupt thoughts about God—especially denying His very existence

—with corrupt morals. 

 

And it is true that if there is no God, no Creator who sets the rules, then we are set adrift morally. When the children of Israel forgot their Creator in the times of the Judges, when they had no-one leading them in being faithful to God, “… every man did that which was right in his own eyes” (Judges 21:25), and chaos reigned."

The Gentle word of Christianity

Come unto me. Matthew 11:28

 "THE cry of the Christian religion is the gentle word, "Come." 

 

Jesus is the good Shepherd going before His sheep, bidding them follow Him, and ever leading them onwards with the sweet word, "Come." 

The law shows the distance which there is between God and man; the gospel bridges that chasm, and brings the sinner across it.

As a mother puts out her finger to her little child and woos it to walk by saying, "Come," even so does Jesus. 

He will always be ahead of you, bidding you follow Him as the soldier follows his captain.

 

 You will be longing for His second advent; you will be saying, "Come quickly, even so come Lord Jesus.."

Charles Spurgeon

Creation Moment 12/17/2022 - Christian Heresies on Genesis 1

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15

"Some say that the days of Genesis 1 can be understood as eons of

time, but that God stepped in to do some of the more incredible things at various times—like making pine trees and people. This so-called ‘progressive creation’ view has God creating progressively over eons of time.

 

Others claim that Genesis is a mere literary device, a framework upon which hangs important theological teaching—like clothes hanging on a clothesline. They argue that the clothes are the important thing, not the clothesline, so we should not be worried about trying to connect Genesis to the history of the world (this is the ‘framework hypothesis’).

 

Yet others say God used evolution to make everything (‘theistic evolution’) and that Genesis has no relevance to understanding the history of the universe; it is some sort of ‘myth’. Science tells us when and how the universe came into being; the Bible tells us why. They are two separate domains of knowledge.

 

The above views tend to overlap in a fuzzy way in the minds of many who have not thought logically about the effect of these views on the Gospel." CMI

IN the NEWS - Is Key Mechanism Nearing?

Is a key mechanism for government control of buying and selling nearing?  And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Rev. 13:17

 

"The Federal Reserve is pushing a Central Bank Digital Currency which would give the government the unprecedented ability to control a person’s life. 

With the CBDC, the government would effectively have complete

control over an individual by deciding how much a person can spend by forcing a tax on all private transactions, and by even theoretically penalizing people who save money – thus ensuring a permanently poor underclass.

 

“It may seem that the purpose of a CBDC is to facilitate transactions and enhance economic activity, but CBDCs are mainly about more government control over individuals,” wrote André Marques of the Mises Insitute.

 “If a CBDC were implemented, the central bank would have access to all transactions in addition to being capable of freezing accounts.”

 

“The end of cash would mean less privacy for individuals and would

allow central banks to maintain a monetary policy of negative interest rates with greater ease (since individuals would be unable to withdraw money from commercial banks to avoid losses).”

 

A cashless society would allow governments to also adopt a Chinese-style ‘social credit score’ in which people are penalized financially for engaging in political “wrongthink.” IW

Exceeding the Righteousness of the Pharisees

For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.  Matt. 5:20

"Q: But what is it to keep the law?

A:  It is to keep all its precepts; our righteousness must exceed that of the Pharisees, which was only an outward form. If we hate, it is murder (Matt. 5:22); if we have impure thoughts it is adultery (Matt. 5:25); if we have an impure heart, we violate all the rest of the law. 

We may be ever so strict in outward Sabbath observance and adhere closely to the outward obligations of all the rest of the law, but an impure heart renders every act sinful. 

 

God has by various agencies placed enough light in the heart of every man to lead him to know the true God. Even nature itself reveals the God of nature. And if a man in the darkest heathenism has a desire to know the true God, he will, if necessary, send a man around the world to give him the light of truth. 

So every man that is finally lost will have rejected light that, if cherished, would have led him to God." E.J. Waggoner

Creation Moment 12/16/2022 - Christians who preach Evolution Undermine Eschatology

"The Bible speaks of a future where the present order will be destroyed and God will make a new heavens and earth where there will be no more suffering and pain—the former things will have passed away (But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 2 Peter 3:10). 

Q: But if God ‘created’ things much as we see them, with death and suffering intrinsic to the created order, which the previously mentioned views of Genesis suppose, why would God want to destroy the existing order and create a new one? 

---It also undermines the teaching about the future restoration (Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began. Acts 3:21)—‘restoration’ means return to a former state, so are Christians supposed to be encouraged by a return to millions of years of death and suffering?" CMI

The Teacher

"GOD has revealed himself to the world as a teacher. 

God was in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself; and in him He says, "Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me." 

When He thus calls us to take the place of learners, in that very call He himself occupies the place of teacher.
Again He says, "They shall be all taught of God." God teaches by His Spirit. Therefore it is written, "The Comforter, which is the
Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in My name, He shall teach you all things."
He teaches by his Spirit through His word. "The Spirit of truth will guide you into all truth. For He shall not speak of Himself; but what He shall hear that shall He speak. . . . He shall take of Mine and show it unto you. All things that the Father hath are Mine: therefore I said, He shall take of Mine and show it unto you."

Q: Who that believes the Bible to be His word, can ever allow it to be second to any other book in any line of study?" A.T. Jones

Creation Moment 12/15/2022 - What Adam means to the Creation

"The New Testament clearly teaches that the reason for Jesus’ death and Resurrection depends on the real historical events of Genesis 1–3, that death entered the creation through the sin of the first man:

“For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.” (1 Corinthians 15:21–22; see also Romans 5:12–21).

Jesus is called “the last Adam” (1 Corinthians 15:45) because He came to undo the work of the first Adam. He took upon Himself, in His body on the Cross, the Curse of death for the lost race of Adam (Galatians 3:13; Colossians 1:22).

Clearly, the teaching about the reason for Jesus’ death depends upon the events in Genesis being real: that physical death originated with Adam’s sin and that it was not already a part of the created order. 

Those who devalue the history of Genesis often claim that Adam’s death was only ‘spiritual’ (separation from God). But it was also physical death: “from dust you came and to dust you will return” (Genesis 3:19). 

Thus Jesus also died a physical death on the Cross. He also rose from the dead, bodily, victorious, having dealt with the Curse of death that came through Adam."

BEAST / LITTLE HORN one & the same

"The mouth given to the beast speaking great words and blasphemies,
evidently signifies the same as the mouth of the little horn of Dan.7:25 (And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.), which should speak great words against the Most High, and think to change times and laws. 

It is the papacy claiming infallibility, and pretending to be the vicar of God upon earth."
