There is a distinction between recreation and amusement.
Recreation, when true to its name, re-creation, tends to strengthen and build up. 

Amusement, on the other hand, is sought for the sake of pleasure and is often carried to excess; it absorbs the energies that are required for useful work and thus proves a hindrance to life's true success.  
Even when the child is old enough to attend school, his health should be regarded as of greater importance than a knowledge of books.
By pursuing one line of thought exclusively, the mind often becomes unbalanced.
Physical inaction lessens not only mental but moral power. The brain nerves that connect with the whole system are the medium through which heaven communicates with man and affects the inmost life. Whatever hinders the circulation of the electric current in the nervous system, thus weakening the vital powers and lessening mental susceptibility, makes it more difficult to arouse the moral nature.   
The misuse or nonuse of the physical powers is largely responsible for the tide of corruption that is overspreading the world. Pride, fullness of bread, and abundance of idleness (Ezekiel 16:49) are as deadly foes to human progress in this generation as when they led to the destruction of Sodom.  

Relief of the Flood

"In Genesis 5:29 we read: This same (Noah) shall comfort us in our work and in the toil of our hands, which comes because of the ground which the Lord has cursed.

One of the purposes of the Flood was to bring a measure of relief from the bitter effects of the curse upon the earth.
The Pre-Flood earth was truly a land of violence,...of wretched and cursed ground."

SDA Issues - EASILY Debunking Ford

"We are going to show the clear, Biblical cleansing of the heavenly sanctuary, the heavenly Day of Atonement and the judgment.

Dr. Desmond Ford said in his 1,000 page thesis which he presented

during his trial at Glacier View that you can’t find any of these teachings in the Bible.
Dr. Ford either didn’t want to see them or he was being intellectually dishonest because they are in the Bible.
Let’s look at them.

In Hebrews chapters 8 and 9 Paul is contrasting the differences between the earthly sanctuary and its services with the heavenly realities. ....in Hebrews 8:5 how the earthly sanctuary was a pattern of the heavenly sanctuary. We also saw in Leviticus 16:16, 19 how the earthly sanctuary was cleansed (purified) with blood. With this in mind let’s allow God’s own word to debunk all the lies of the New Theology.

“Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.” Hebrews 9:21.

On what day was the tabernacle and its vessels sprinkled with blood? On the Day of Atonement, which is synonymous with the cleansing of the sanctuary and the judgment. This is all clear. There is no ambiguity as to what day this is. We already saw the three events that take place on the same day.

 “And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.” Hebrews 9:22.

It was the blood of animal sacrifices that purified the earthly sanctuary in Leviticus 16. Read the entire chapter. Now that we have established the context, let’s look at the cleansing of the heavenly sanctuary. This next verse is one of many Bible verses that invalidates Ford’s theories:

“It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.” Hebrews 9:23.

Let’s look at this verse very closely. There are two sanctuaries, one

earthly and one heavenly. Which one was a “pattern of the things in heaven” – the earthly sanctuary or the heavenly one? Obviously the earthly. What was the earthly sanctuary purified with? The blood of animal sacrifices. The first part of this verse is basically saying:
“It was necessary that the earthy sanctuary be purified with animal sacrifices”

Now let’s look at the next part of verse 23. It says “But the heavenly things,” which sanctuary is the “heavenly things?” That’s the heavenly sanctuary! What is the heavenly sanctuary purified with?
The verse continues saying “with better sacrifices than these.” What is the better sacrifice? Obviously the blood of Jesus. What does the word “these” represent which are less superior than the blood of Jesus? The blood of animal sacrifices. The second part of Hebrews 9:23 is basically saying:
“But the heavenly sanctuary is purified with the blood of Jesus”


So when will this happen? Ford and the Evangelicals say this all took place in 31 AD, if at all. Let’s allow the scriptures to speak for itself. In verse 26 we are given the timing of this event.

“For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us: Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others; For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world. But now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.” Hebrews 9:24-26.

At what time of earth’s history will the cleaning of the heavenly sanctuary take place and the anti-typical Day of Atonement? In 31 AD? No. Paul says this will all take place “in the end of the world.” Jesus is going to put away sin by his own sacrifice at the “end of the world.” That’s how the sequence concludes as you follow this important theme of the cleaning of the heavenly sanctuary in Hebrews 9:21-26.

This text corroborates what we are told in Daniel 8:14. Daniel’s 2,300 day prophecy takes us into the time of the end. Hebrew 9:26 is a text that Desmond Ford and the Evangelicals can’t explain because the end of the world is not in 31 AD.

These texts describe Christ’s final atonement that will take place in the heavenly sanctuary during the “end of the world.”

However, if you want to know specifically when this work will begin you have to turn to Daniel 8:14. Daniel 8:14 tells you what year the work of cleansing begins – 1844 – and this coincides with being “in the end of the world” (Hebrews 9:26) or at the time of the end.
What about the judgment? Well, notice what the very next verse says, 27:

“And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.” Hebrews 9:27.

Here Paul links together the cleansing of the heavenly sanctuary, the Day of Atonement and the judgment and puts them at the time of the end.

It’s not a coincidence because these three events are synonymous. All these events will take place “in the end of the world” (Hebrews 9:27). Daniel 8:14 tell us exactly when it all begins. It’s a prophetic day that pinpoints the cleaning of the heavenly sanctuary during the last days and the final work of atonement while the investigative judgment is taking place.
The very next verse says:

“So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many, and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.” Hebrews 9:28.

How can we miss this? Paul sets again the timing for this event – the period just before the second coming of Jesus. Paul also links the second coming of Christ to these themes. This was nowhere near 31 AD, and this is not talking about a third coming of Christ, as the Evangelicals believe.
Evangelical theology believes in a secret rapture first and then the third coming of Christ to the world. Paul makes it clear that when human probationary period ends for everyone, Christ will come again the second time, not a third time. At Christ’s coming He will have a glorious church, without spot and wrinkle."

Johannes Bugenhagen of the Reformation

And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days.
Daniel 11:33

".... would personally assist in implementing reforms in both his native Pomerania and in Denmark.
As a Biblical scholar, Bugenhagen devoted most of his intellectual energy to lecturing on Scripture. He would publish a number of commentaries in subsequent years.

His most famous, a 1524 commentary on the Psalms, grew out of his early lectures at Wittenberg and went through numerous printings.
His other commentaries included the minor letters of Paul (published 1525), Romans (1527), the Gospel of Matthew (1543), Jeremiah (1546), and Jonah (1550).

Two other contributions to the Protestant use of Scripture were notable. In 1524, Bugenhagen transposed Luther’s German New Testament into Low German—ahead of the publication of Luther’s own version—and his reading would become popular and widely printed.
He also composed a harmony of the passion narrative drawn from the four Gospels. He had begun the task as early as 1519 at Belbuck, but he would resume it again in 1522 at Wittenberg and see it through to publication in 1524. The harmony became enormously influential in Protestant private and corporate devotion through the centuries.

Bugenhagen’s most significant contribution to the Reformation undoubtedly resulted from his role as a church administrator."

SCAM ALERT - George Bloomer

---SCAM ALERT---

The "Christian" Mystic Sid Roth recently had on George Bloomer.
His Religious Experience includes while attending a church while under drug addiction when someone put their finger up his nose

and down inside of him forcing out his drug addiction..REALLY George???
Of course he tells of his Florida event where he dealt with poltergeist's of 5,000 men at one whom time he set free of the demons....
But for the Climatic Claim of the Episode---at a tent meeting where THOUSANDS showed up, as well as the media, a woman who ran out of the tent as it was blowing over dropped her baby in a puddle and it drowned. He, yes, claimed he brought the baby back to Life...Uhm...where is the media video of it? Where's the mother? Where are some witnesses from among the "thousands" who were there?

 You would think that would make national headlines or be shown on this episode...but NO...instead they swerve into a clip of him supposedly casting out demons with a little bit of yelling in gibberish tongues.
Q: Don't you think a clip of supposedly bringing a dead baby back to life would of been of more interest?...yeah, but obviously it never happened....come on people quit believing this nonsense.

In their greed they will make up

clever lies to get hold of your money.

But God condemned them long ago,

If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
John 15:18

"Pastor Thar Tun was kidnapped from his home in Rakhine state, Myanmar (Burma) on 13 February by Buddhist militants thought to be members of the Arakan Army (AA).

Pastor Tun, 56, who has five children, is the second pastor to be kidnapped in Myanmar in less than a month. It is thought that the pastor’s work helping refugees in his home town of Buthidaung made him a target.
On 19 January, Pastor Tun Nu, 41, was kidnapped at gunpoint in Rakhine state by militants also thought to be members of AA. He was reported killed on 1 February alongside several others held captive, but his body has not been found.
At the time of Pastor Tun Nu’s abduction, witnesses described the AA as “truly brutal” and had warned that more abductions of Christians were likely because their missionary work made them a target."

Creation Moment 4/29/2019 - Creation Groaning on Moon

For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
Romans 1:22

"The moon loses more water than it receives from the solar wind or meteorites. How long has that been going on?
Data analyzed from the LADEE mission, which orbited the moon 2013-2014 measuring the thin lunar atmosphere, has revealed

something interesting: meteor impacts blast water out of the deep soil, where most of it is lost to space, never to return. Water? Yes; the moon has some. Lunar soil is drier than any soil on Earth, but it does retain some H₂O and OH^– (hydroxyl) ions, which chemists designate as water. Some water molecules can form from reactions with the solar wind.
There’s more water three inches down (the “hydrated layer”) than in the top portion (“dessicated layer”) of regolith (lunar soil that has been “gardened” by small meteorites), so only larger meteors penetrate where the water is.
Nevertheless, water escape is a continuous process: When a stream of meteoroids rains down on the lunar surface, the liberated water will enter the exosphere and spread through it. About two-thirds of that vapor escapes into space, but about one-third lands back on the surface of the Moon.
Not enough water can be made by the solar wind, the researchers state, meaning that most of it must have already been there since the moon’s formation, or was delivered by impactors:

“We know that some of the water must be coming from the Moon, because the mass of water being released is greater than the water mass within the meteoroids coming in,” said the second author of the paper, Dana Hurley of the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory.
The analysis indicates that meteoroid impacts release water faster than it can be produced from reactions that occur when the solar wind hits the lunar surface.
“The water being lost is likely ancient, either dating back to the formation of the Moon or deposited early in its history,” said Benna.

The figure caption says, “in order to sustain the water loss from meteoroid impacts, the hydrated layer requires replenishment from a deeper ancient water reservoir.”
In short, the moon is losing its tenuous water faster than it is receiving it or making it. Has this been the case for the moon’s history?"

Every student needs to understand the relation between plain living and high thinking. It rests with us individually to decide whether our lives shall be controlled by the mind or by the body.

It is frequently urged that, in the selection of food, appetite is a safe guide.
If the laws of health had always been obeyed, this would be true.
But through wrong habits, continued from generation to generation, appetite has become so perverted that it is constantly craving some hurtful gratification.
The youth and children should understand the effect of alcohol, tobacco, and other like poisons in breaking down the body, beclouding the mind, and sensualizing the soul.
Tea and coffee, condiments, confectionery, and pastries are all active causes of indigestion. Flesh food also is harmful.

Christology and the Antichrist

"In an article written by J. B. Conley, he shows how the teaching that insists that Christ came in the nature of Adam before his fall is connected to the antichrist.
He wrote: “The Scriptures have placed the identity of antichrist beyond either guesswork or confusion. The Bible has clearly named the guilty one. John says that he denies that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. 2 John 7. Let this be the first mark of antichrist by which his identity will be placed beyond dispute."

Far from denying the existence of Christ, the text suggests that antichrist teaches that Christ has come but teaches a doctrine about His coming which denies that He has come in the flesh. If the Catholic Church is guilty as the Protestant Reformers claimed her to be, then her teaching concerning the nature of Jesus in His incarnation into this world as a babe will reveal it.

The Bible teaches that Jesus was born into the world through Mary who was a direct descendent of Adam. By inheritance she partook of Adam’s nature.
Adam’s nature was mortal and subject to death as a result of the transgression of God’s will in Eden. His flesh was by nature that of the children of wrath.
Mary partook of this nature in all of its aspects. She was a representative of the whole human race and in no way different from others descendent from Adam’s line.

She was favored among women only because she was the one chosen of God through whom the mystery of godliness was to be made manifest and through whom Jesus was to be brought from heaven where He had been one with the Father in the Godhead to be born into the human family, there to partake of all the temptations to which Adam’s race is subject.
This was possible only as He would partake of the nature of Adam’s race. Of this Paul says, ‘For as much then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the same;. . . Wherefore in all things it behooved Him to be made like unto His brethren.’ Hebrews 2:14–17.

 In 1 Timothy 3:16, records, ‘Great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh.’

---Here he says is the mystery of godliness.

The ability of Jesus to come from heaven,

suffer Himself to be manifest in human flesh

and yet to live sinlessly.

This latter fact antichrist was to deny. He was to deny that Jesus came in a divine manifestation which brought Him in all phases of His nature to partake of the weaknesses of Adam’s race. He would deny that Jesus came in the flesh, the same flesh as that of mortal men.

On this first count, the denial that Jesus is come in the flesh, the

Catholic Church stands convicted of guilt and thus is identified by the marks of antichrist.

Through the teaching of the Immaculate Conception of Mary, that she was preserved from all original sin, they in theory provide a different flesh from that of the rest of Adam’s race to be the avenue through which Jesus was incarnated into the plan of salvation.

“In the Papal claim that Jesus was born of one who had been preserved from every taint of original sin and who, unlike the rest of the children of Adam, was never subject to sin, we find the first antichrist indelibly implanted. The papacy certainly teaches that Jesus did not come in the flesh.” Australian Signs of the Times, May 24, 1948, 46, by J. B. Conley."

IN the NEWS - Vatican Push for a SupraNational State

....and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
Acts 17:6

"In its full-court press for globalism and international migration, the Vatican insists on describing nationalism in exclusively negative terms, opening its “Concept Note” for its May 1-3 conference by saying that the world “is facing today a growing threat of nationalist revival,” which “leads to mutual rejection and enduring conflicts.”

The Pontifical Academy has apparently decided ahead of its conference that nationalism will be treated as the enemy, rather than looking at both sides of the issue and the root causes of growing interest in national sovereignty.
Facile recourse to accusations of xenophobia and racism is always easier than honest debate.

“We witness a worrying tendency of nations or nation states to close themselves, insisting on their supposed interests,” it states. “Globalization and migrations inspire the fear that nations could lose their cultural identity and their political independence.”

“In the present stage of its development, humanity disposes of all possible technical means to organize itself in a cooperative and peaceful way,” the text declares, in thinly veiled code for a shift toward supranational governance. “Yet the minds are still shaped by stereotypes of exclusion of the ‘other.’”

“Challenges like ecology, particularly climate change, human trafficking, energy, defence, regulation of the globalized economy cannot be dealt with by competing sovereign national states alone,” the document reads. “The European Union is an example of what could become a supranational state with precise and limited sovereignty in matters of European common good.”

Linguistic Look at Tubal-cain

Nothing to be dogmatic about...just an interesting thought to ponder...

"Genesis 4:22: "Zillah (wife of Lamech) bore Tubal-cain; he was the forger of all instruments of bronze and iron."
In many societies the child is son of the mother, not the father.

Thus Tubal-cain was also known as Barzillah. The word for iron in both Hebrew and Sumerian could be a link back to the son of Zillah.....there is the interesting fact that the last part of the name,
Tubal-cain, is the Hebrew word for smith. Another way of spelling Cain is Ken. Ken is a form of the Hebrew word for a copper spear, and the Kenites were a tribe of wandering smiths who made Implements of metal (Horizon, 2:2, November 1959, p. 9).
Thus we have linguistic paths leading back to Tubal-cain, the first metalsmith, .... The line of Cain and Tubal-cain ended at the Flood, but we can infer that Noah and his sons collected the technology of the Pre-Flood world, including metallurgy, and then taught it to their descendants in the Post-Flood age."

“What our predictions show is that by 2030 the atmosphere is going to frost out and vanish around the whole planet....If it does freeze over, Pluto may appear brighter in the sky due to sunlight reflecting,...The striking red terrain seen in the New Horizons images could fade away if they are snowed under with nitrogen frost,” Dr. Cole said."

Since the mind and the soul find expression through the body, both mental and spiritual vigor are in great degree dependent upon physical strength and activity; whatever promotes physical health,

promotes the development of a strong mind and a well-balanced character.
Without health no one can as distinctly understand or as completely fulfill his *obligations to himself, *to his fellow beings, *or to his Creator. Therefore the health should be as faithfully guarded as the character.
Through morbid conditions, the result of neglecting the laws of health, how many have been led into evil practices, to the sacrifice of every hope for this world and the next!...  the youth should be taught that the laws of nature are the laws of God--as truly divine as are the precepts of the Decalogue. The laws that govern our physical organism, God has written upon every nerve, muscle, and fiber of the body.  
That the life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment (Luke 12:23), is a lesson no less needed now than when given by the divine Teacher eighteen hundred years ago.  

Daniel 8: From Sabbath to Day of Atonement

"Daniel 8 is worth looking at more closely. The entire chapter is filled with sanctuary imagery that is specifically related to the Day of Atonement.

To mention just a few:
--The ram and the he-goat (Dan 8:3-8) were the two animals specially involved on the Day of Atonement (Lev 16:5).
--The reference to the “rebellion” (pesha‘) of the little horn (Dan 8:12, 13) uses a word found in connection with the sanctuary services only in Leviticus 16 (vv. 16, 21).

--The word for “the sanctuary” (qodesh) in v. 14 links the vision of these verses to the Day of Atonement in Leviticus 16 where the same word is used repeatedly for the Most Holy Place (Lev 16:2, 3 16, 17, 20, 23, 27, 33).
--The word nitsdaq (“cleanse, restore”) in v. 14 is uniquely suited to cover the scope of what Christ’s Day of Atonement ministry in heaven accomplishes.
--The description of the 2,300 “days” as “evening-morning” units points to the days of creation in Genesis 1 which are also described as evening-morning units (Gen 1:5, 8, 13, 19, 23, 31).

The connection of the cleansing of the sanctuary with Genesis 1-2 is significant because Creation Week culminated with total rest on the seventh day. Thus God blessed the Sabbath and made it holy. The only other day on which total rest is commanded in the Bible, besides the weekly Sabbath, is the Day of Atonement when the sanctuary was cleansed!"

Papal Notes - Francis & those Itching Ears of the World

"British TV personality Stephen Amos is both gay and an avowed atheist. He was recently at the Vatican on a “pilgrimage” to visit Pope Francis.
When Stephen Amos met Pope Francis he raised the issue of “atheism” and “homosexuality” in relationship to the church. Mr. Amos said the following to Pope Francis:

“So, me coming on this pilgrimage being non-religious, I was looking for answers and faith. But as a gay man I don’t feel accepted.”

How did Pope Francis respond to the dilemma of “accepting” atheism and homosexuality in the church?
--Did he express to this individual that God has a plan that is greater and higher than we as humans set for ourselves – which includes keeping God’s commandments? (John 14:15).
--Did Pope Francis share how faith in God and in His Word will transform our lives to be more like the One we follow—Jesus Christ? (1 Peter 2:21, 22).
--Or did the pope tell him that the “unbelieving” (Revelation 21:8) will be lost and that “homosexuals” (1 Corinthians 6:9 NKJV) won’t be in heaven?

No. Pope Francis instead affirmed this person in his error and in his sinful life. Notice how the pope responded:

“Giving more importance to the adjective [deeds] than the noun [person] is not good. We are all human beings. It doesn’t matter who you are or how you live your life, you do not lose your dignity. There are people who prefer to select or discard people because of the adjective. These people don’t have a human heart.”

Discarding people? No. The pope is discarding truth. Whenever there is a person heading for eternal ruin because of unbelief or impurity, we are discarding them and consigning them to

destruction when we say “you still have dignity,” don’t worry and everything is OK.
Everyone was born in the image of God, so clearly all human beings have dignity. But the dangerous reasoning that the pope is making is this – “Because we are in God’s image it doesn’t matter how we live our lives.” This is not the gospel. The gospel teaches us that God’s love elevates us to live a life that is pleasing to Him (Psalm 40:8, Revelation 14:12)."

"During Sabbath service at the Oakridge (Canada) SDA church (OAC) in Vancouver, Jesus is portrayed by a woman in an Easter program.  As if female Jesus isn’t sacrilegious enough, throw in a gay flamboyant Mary Magdalene man and female Apostle Peter for blasphemous contaigon effect.

From Oakridge Adventist Church’s Facebook page:

Today's service is our very special Easter Program entitled Seeing Jesus in John: "Anecdotes of Easter" by Selene Dublanko and cast.

This is a theatrical church service portraying the “Easter” weekend.  Disciples are male and female (all dressed as males).  Here are two key areas:

1. Jesus is a female dressed like a male

2. The female Jesus washes the disciples’ feet.  The disciples are five men and seven women

3. Mary Magdalene is a flamboyant gay male dressed as a female

 

This strange mockery happened (predictably) under the oversight of a female pastor.  OAC senior ‘pastor’ (Rhoda Klein Miller) defends this dramatic production against those who expressed concerns or walked out.

Oakridge Adventist Church was touted in a 2016 Ministry Magazine article by Kumar Dixit (previous OAC pastor)  as a multigenerational, “multicultural, and multiethnic mix” that is interested in social justice and spiritual disciplines.  Dixit was a speaker at the 2018 Kinship Kampmeeting."

SDA News - LLU Turning from God

Establish my footsteps in Your word, And do not let any iniquity have dominion over me.
Psalm 119:133

"A generational Adventist—Mrs. Chris Oberg has been a champion of women’s ordination for several decades.  Predictably, she has

also taken up the cause of LGBT acceptance/inclusion/justification.
Thursday, April 18th, Mrs. Oberg and Stefan Johnson held a forum titled “Neither Male Nor Female” on the Loma Linda University Campus.
Some of Johnson’s conclusions:
Gender identity—a person’s internal sense of their own gender—is the primary factor in determining a person’s sex.
According to the medical consensus, gender identity is innate, and attempts to change a person’s gender identity are unethical and harmful to a person’s health and well-being.
Birth certificates can harm a transgender person, and  inhibits their ability to self-define and express their identity."

Creation Moment 4/27/2019 - Creepy History of Darwinism

"......Nor is this the first time human-ape breeding experiments have been attempted.

The first scientific attempt was in the mid-1920s at a laboratory, then part of French Guinea in Africa. The work was done by a leading Soviet Scientist, Professor Ilya Ivanovich Ivanov, and his son. Ivanov was a world famous breeder of hybrids specializing in the field of artificial insemination and the interspecific hybridization of animals. His successes were sensational, especially among horse breeders from many parts of the world. He had wanted to try “the  ultimate test of Darwinian evolution” [interbreeding humans with chimps, i.e., humanzees] … since 1910, and he finally (after consulting with Hermann Muller,

Ivanov

the Soviet-loving Drosophila scientist) screwed up the courage to request a research grant in the early 1920s.”
The “top Bolsheviks saw something promising in Ivanov’s idea: a chance to insult religion, the Soviet Unions avowed enemy… in our struggle for the liberation of the working people from the power of the Church.”
Only a few months after the Scopes trial the Soviet government gave Ivanov 10,000 dollars, 130,000 in today’s dollars, to prove his ape-human theory.
Ivanov attempted at least three times, without success, to inseminate female chimpanzees with human sperm. He also attempted a set of experiments involving ape sperm and humans, but was unsuccessful for several reasons. Ivanov used Negro women because they were in his day believed to be biologically closer to apes, thus, he reasoned, the experiment would more likely be successful.

His belief was based on the writings of Darwin and others.
Darwin expected that, at some future point, “not very distant … the civilized races of man will almost certainly exterminate and replace throughout the world the savage races,” thus making the gap between humans and apes even greater than it currently is now.
The eminent evolutionist Professor Carl Vogt, “distinguished, as did most biologists in the second half of the nineteenth century, between crosses of ‘allied’ races [such as negroes and apes] and ‘distant’ ones, such as white humans and apes.”
.... the scriptures condemn this attempt. The Bible is very clear: “All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.” 1 Corinthians 15:39."

Lesson of Genesis 22:2

And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah;..... Genesis 22:2

"The example of Abraham is recorded in sacred history for the benefit of his believing children.

This great act of faith teaches the lesson of
--implicit confidence in God,
--perfect obedience to his requirements,
--and a complete surrender to the divine will.
In the example of Abraham we are taught that nothing we possess is too precious to give to God."
