Creation Moment 2/13/2012 - Octopus challenges evolutionary thinking

The octopus has a brain that appears to be more itelligent than previously thought. Evolutionary theory says that intelligence "evolves" in social cratures to help them deal with social relationships. Yet the octopus isn't a social creature. Apparenlty during research some of the octopus under study were able to devise a variety of games for a plastic bottle they were given. CM


And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas,
Genesis 1:22

Isaiah predicted He would remain silent in suffering...

He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
Isaiah 53:7

Speaking of Midnight......

I thought on my ways,

and turned my feet unto thy testimonies. 

I made haste,

and delayed not to keep thy commandments. 

At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments.  

Psalm 119:59,60,62

About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.

Acts 16:25 NRS

Modern Sanctification

Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Matthew 7:22,23 "The people here described, who make these pretentious claims, apparently weaving Jesus into all their doings, fitly represent those who claim modern sanctification, but who are at war with the law of God. Christ calls them workers of iniquity, because they are decievers, having on the garments of righteousness to hide the deformity of their characters, the inward wickedness of their unholy hearts." Review & Herald 8/25/1885 E.G.W.

Creation Moment 2/12/2012 - Another "WASTE-of-a-BOOK"---End of Christianity by William Dembski

William Dembski says of his new book, The End of Christianity-
"My book attempts to resolve how the Fall of Adam could be responsible for all evil in the world, both moral and natural IF the earth is old and thus IF a fossil record that bespeaks violence among organisms predates the temporal occurrence of the Fall. My resolution is to argue that just as the salvation of Christ purchased at the Cross acts forward as well as backward in time (the Old Testament saints were saved in virtue of the Cross), so too the effects of the Fall can go backward in time."

Uhm....what kind of poisonous psychobabbel is that? How can the effects of the "Fall" go "backward" in time? Sin on earth entered the world through mankind. But wait-there is more psychobabbel about his book-
"Mental environments are more powerful than what typically are understood as worldviews. A worldview can be thought of as a collection of propositions to which we assent. But a mental environment adds conviction to a worldview. How strongly do we hold to certain principles and values in our worldview, and how does that make a practical difference in our lives? A mental environment controls, among other things, our plausibility structures – what we find reasonable or unreasonable. In the current mental environment, given that it holds to an old earth, it becomes very hard for people to accept that the Fall affected the physical world (and, in particular, induced natural evil). My theodicy attempts to redress this obstacle posed to the Fall by the current mental environment."

HUH? Me thinks Dembski tries to think TOO MUCH.....As the book review on Amazon.com says of his book "Entering the conversation, Dembski’s provocative The End of Christianity embraces the challenge to formulate a theodicy that is both faithful to Christian orthodoxy and credible to the new mental environment. " What does "credible to the new mental enviroment" mean"?

In fairness to Dembski, he doesn't believe in evolution, yet he is trying to reconcile a supposed 4.5 Billion yr. earth with Adam & Eve and denies the flood was global, but rather was local in the Middle East. This is what happens when you begin to compromise with the world. There is plenty of evidence to refute evolution-no need to compromise on that or the global flood.

William Dembski is a Research Professor of Philosophy and Director of the Center for Cultural Engagement at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. Hebrews 13:9

 

Question posed by King David......

And who then is willing to consecrate his service this day unto the LORD? 1 Chronicles 29:5

Replacement Theology, Covenant Theology & Dispensationalism

Raeplacement theology is what dispensationalists refer to those who believe (as I do) that before the cross was literal Israel and after the cross His church is now spiritual Israel.
Dispensationalists believe that the future prophecies for Israel past the cross were for literal Israel throughout history. This is primarily the belief of what we call the "secret rapture crowd". This is why you hear them talk a lot about Israel today.
Those of covenant theology (Reformed churches, including Presbyterian) are sometimes accused by dispensationalists of believing repalcement theology (where the church replaces Israel). But those who are into covenant theology disagree. As minister Nallie Malabuyo of a Reformed Church put it "It has been widely held by Reformed theologians that there will be a great conversion of Jews. Some call this “anti-semitism.” This isn’t anti-semitism, it is Christianity."
Replacement Theology is correct. You see, one false doctrine leads to another. If you think Israel in future prophecy is literal Israel, it then leads into another false doctrine, the secret rapture,  etc.
The Jewish people rejected Him. He is not accepted as their Messiah as a people. It is both unBiblical and illogical to oppose replacement theology--of course the Christian Church replaced Israel!! In Revelation, the woman in white, before the child (Christ) was born was Israel  as His people with the truth. After the child (Christ) is caught up into heaven-His people represented by the woman is His Church. The 12 stars on her head-representing the 12 tribes-now represent the Church founded by the 12 disciples. (As for a main difference between the false doctrines of covenent theology and dispensationalism-is that dispensationalism views the new covenant as taking the place of the old and covenant theology believes the new is an extension of the old...As for me, who believes in Replacement Theology, I think the old covenant was the works carried out in the earthly model of the sanctuary and sealed with the blood of animals. The new covenant is simply the work fullfilled on the cross of the altar of sacrice, 1st article of furniture in the sanctuary, and now followed up in the reality of the heavenly sanctuary. Now sealed by HIS blood. In other words, from Passover to now Communiuon services in rememberance of it).
Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. Romans 11:5,6 The works here are the ceremonial works of the Jewish symbolism relating to their services. Now the reality of the sacrifice is freely given and the blood has been gotten for the Judgement for the blotting out of sins. Now one has to accept what is given by grace. The work continues in the heavenly sanctuary by Christ, not in the works of the earthly sanctuary by men.

Zechariah predicts crucifixion of the Messiah

....and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn. Zechariah 12:10

Creation Moment 2/11/2012 - Protection (Thank You God)

Then on that day David delivered first this psalm to thank the LORD into the hand of Asaph and his brethren.

Give thanks unto the LORD,
call upon his name,
make known his deeds among the people.
Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works.
1 Chronicles 16:7-9

Old Paganistic Temple Prostitution still exists in the 21st Century



Devadasi with beads of "Dedicated Bondage"

In India it's called "devadasi", which means "god's favorite servant". And where do these temple prostitutes come from? The female babies are dedicated to the goddess Yellamma by poor couples who can't afford to care for their daughters. They hope to gain the favor of the goddess by doing so. This has been going on for over several thousand years. But about 30 years ago it was outlawed in modern India, so the practice went underground.

Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness. Leviticus 19:29

A Symmetrical Character in the sight of God

The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Psalm 34:18

"Tears are not in every case evidences of weakness. In order for you to build up a character which is symmetrical in the sight of a pure and holy God you must begin at the foundation. The heart must be broken before God, and true repentance for sin must be shown." Testimonies for the Church vol.3, p.459 E.G.W.

Creation Moment 2/10/2012 - Breath of Life

God-bending over-and breathing the breath of life into man...

And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Genesis 2:7

The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life. Job 33:4

A Great Light

The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light:

obama administration attacks freedom of religion

http://www.usatoday.com/news/religion/story/2012-01-25/catholic-obama-birth-control/52794196/1

http://www.ewtnnews.com/catholic-news/US.php?id=4838

I'm NOT a Catholic, and I strongly disagree with their church on theology. BUT, they have a right to their religious views and the government, through obamacare, forcing churches to pay for contraception (WAIT-why is that even covered in any health plan to begin with?) has NO right to do what it's doing.
Plain & simple, obamacare is MARXISM. How? Because it is an assault on both the private sector (by raising the mini-meds over several years so as to eventually put the private insurance companies out of business and then have to go to government healthcare) and an assault on religion by trampling on a churches belief. Marxism is anti-private sector & anti-religion. So yes, one can make a case that obamacare is a marxist policy. There is nothing in the constitution about healthcare--but there is something in the 1st amendment about freedom of religion.

Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 2 Corinthians 3:17

Study the Sanctuary

"The sanctuary in heaven is the very center of Christ's work in behalf of men. It concerns every living soul upon the earth. It opens to view the plan of redemption, bringing us down to the very close of time. It is of the utmost importance that all should thoroughly investigate these subjects,..." Review & Herald 11/9/1905 E.G.W.

We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man. Hebrews 8:2,3

Rick Warren & Brian McLaren say......

Rick Warren says that Christ basically told His disciples that "The details of My return are none of your business" The Purpose Driven life p.285 Warren



Brian McLaren (Emergent Church Guru)

Brian McLaren (A major leader in the so-called Emergent Church Movement) says ""He [Jesus] tells them it's none of their business to speculate about how God plans to work out history, and then He gives them a mission to accomplish." The Secret Message of Jesus p.171 McLaren

Sounds like New Ager Alice Bailey (who had a "spirit guide") said "If our work is rightly done, He will come at the set and appointed time. How, where or when He will come is none of our concern." The Reappearance of the Christ p.188 Bailey


But what did Christ say?--When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) Matthew 24:15 And He gave us prophecies for a reason. Beware anyone who advises you to take scissors to the Bible by disregarding parts of it. It was ALL given to YOU for a reason-prophecies included.

Creation Moment 2/9/2012 - Zircon Minerals from the Moon

Zircon minerals brought back from the moon have shown under recent studies that they are undermining the evolutionary theory of the late heavy bombardment theory of meteorites. This, of course, puts the whole evolutionary model for the solar system at risk.....
It has to do with research of PDFs (planar deformation features).

Beware the Contemplative Prayer Movement

The Contemplative Prayer Movement is creeping into Christianity today. It is nothing more than New Age meditation techniques sneaking into the church. This has happened from time to time in church history. Take for instance Teresa of Avila (1515-1582) a Catholic nun.

*Her motto became "Either let me suffer or let me die". This of course isn't the Christian attitude. That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. Ephesians 6:3

*Her meditations went through 4 stages-1) Mental Prayer 2) Prayer of Quiet 3) Devotion of Union (an ecstatic state) 4) Devotion of Ecstasy/Rapture which the person awakes from a trance and is covered in tears. Also she is said to have been able to levitate during Mass while in this state. This too is not from God. As Paul would say...O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, Galatians 3:1 The answer: Beth Moore, Dallas Willard, Richard Foster, Calvin Miller, Priscilla Shirer as well as the emergent church movement and others who preach this garbage-that is who is bewitching you.

Ministry, Medical Work & the 3 Angel's Message

Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh? Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy reward. Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. ...And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday: Isaiah 58:7-10

"The union that should exist between the medical missionary work and the ministry is clearly set forth in the 58th chapter of Isaiah. ...this chapter is explicit and there is enough to enlighten anyone who wishes to do the will of God. It presents abundent opportunity to minister to suffering humanity, and at the same time to be an instrument in God's hands of bringing the light of truth before a perishing world. If the work of the third angel's message is carried on in the right lines, the ministry will not be given inferior place, nor will the poor and sick be neglected. In His word God has united these two lines of work, and no man should divorce them." Testimonies for the Church vol.6, p.289,290 E.G.W.

Creation Moment 2/6/2012 - Earth/Sun material makeup don't match

It is believed by evolutionists that the sun and planets evolved from the same mass of nebula that supposedly forrmed this solar system. But the sun has way too much oxygen-16 & way too little nitrogen-14 when compared to earth. Jupiter, though, has a very similar composition when compared to the sun. But the inner planets have a very different oxygen mix as compared to the rest of the solar system. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/07/110701101750.htm
And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. Genesis 1:16

Peace Be Still

And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. Mark 4:39

He asks you the same question today as He did the disciples then....

And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith? Mark 4:40

Why did you doubt?..............

And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea, And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them. John 6:16,17 And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land. Mark 6:47 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary. Matthew 14:24 And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew. John 6:18 But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out:  Mark6:49 But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid. John 6:20 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased. Matthew 14:28-32 And he went up unto them into the ship; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered. Mark 6:51 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God. Matthew 14:23

He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. Psalm 107:29

Creation Moment 2/5/2012 - Water, Creation & Miracles

For those "liberal" Christian scholars, and those in things such as the emergent church movement, why do you doubt the ability of God to perform the miracles of the Bible?
If He created the water, why can't He walk on it? .... Just saying.....

.....they behold Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the boat: John 6:19

You can run-but you can't hide

 I saw the Lord standing upon the altar: and he said, Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut them in the head, all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that fleeth of them shall not flee away, and he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered.

If they dig through into sheol, From thence doth My hand take them,

And if they go up the heavens, From thence I cause them to come down.

Amos 9:1,2 KJV/YLT

You Have NO Right



Atheist-the late Christopher Hitchens

"Man has no right to say to his Maker, Why doest Thou thus? ....He is the Ruler of the world, and a large portion of His subjects have rebelled aginst His authority, and have trampled upon His law....But man, in his blindness, will overlook the abominations of the ungodly." Selected Messages vol.2, p.333,334 E.G.W.

Ye have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delighteth in them; or, Where is the God of judgment? Malachi 2:17

Creation Moment 2/4/2012 - 6 types of evolution

6 Types of evolution:

1) Cosmic Evolution- Origin of time, space & matter
2) Chemical Evolution- Origin of chemicals
3) Stellar Evolution- Origin of stars and planets
4) Organic Evolution- Origin of life from non-life
5) Macro Evolution- Evolution plants, animals, humans
6) Micro Evolution- Variation within each kind

The only kind observed in nature is #6, Micro-evolution, or what we call natural selection. It is how we get different shapes, sizes & colors of each kind. No other kind has never been observed by science, including #5.

Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Hebrews 11:3

The President seems to want us to break the 10TH COMMANDMENT so as to get support to tax the so-called "rich"

"President Obama offered a new line of reasoning for hiking taxes on the rich on Thursday, saying at the National Prayer Breakfast that his policy proposals are shaped by his religious beliefs. Obama said that as a person who has been "extraordinarily blessed," he is willing to give up some of the tax breaks he enjoys because doing so makes economic, and religious sense." CNNMoney

But when it comes to being envious of what others make, or appealing to jeasously of others economic well being.....What does God say? Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's. Exodus 17:25
