IN the NEWS - When the Street Mob goes Mob on the Home Front

"A photograph of a man kneeling on the neck of a white baby while another person holds the diapered child’s arms is stirring up a massive amount of rage on social media.

The shocking and disturbing photograph, which was captioned by the abusers as “Blm now mf”.

The paternal grandmother of the child wrote on Facebook that the photo was taken two days ago while the two-year-old was with his mother, who is dating Jackson. She told TGP that her son did not find out about it until yesterday morning.

The grandmother provided us with screenshots of conversations in which the mother attempted to defend the photo when confronted about it, calling the person “ignorant” and claiming that “he wasn’t hurting him.” She also claimed she was not present when the photo was taken.

Child Protective Services is involved and the mother will only be allowed to see the child while the father is present for now. She is not allowed to be alone with him, the grandmother said.

She said that the mother is not normally like this and that she suspects it is because of the people she has been hanging out with.
When I saw the person holding his arms back it made me so much more upset,” she said. “The fact that he was crying, it makes my stomach hurt. He didn’t have anyone there to protect him or stop it.”

Are they really "weird" or just Unique--which would point to Design...

"Astronomers and citizen scientists have found two would-be stars lacking heavy elements.

Brown dwarfs ....these Jupiter-size balls of gas aren’t massive enough to maintain nuclear fusion in their cores, so they never light up as stars.
Arttu Sainio independently discovered the first brown dwarf, WISEA 1810–1010...Four citizen scientists, Paul Beaulieu, Sam Goodman, William Pendrill, and Austin Rothermich, independently discovered the second object, WISEA 0414–5854.
Additional observations at other wavelengths confirmed these sources were brown dwarfs, but strange ones. “Indeed, the spectra of these objects look pretty weird (to brown dwarf astronomers),” notes study coauthor Adam Burgasser.
The best explanation is that these brown dwarfs lack heavy elements.
Technically, that marks them as “extreme subdwarfs of the T class".

Creation Moment 7/23/2020 - Lesson of Venus

For this is what the LORD says-- he who created the heavens, he is God; he who fashioned and made the earth, he founded it; he did not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited...
Isaiah 45:18

"Certainly nothing could live today on Venus, where surface temperatures are hot enough to melt lead.
Astrobiologists will need to remember the lesson of Venus.

Reason for Lack of Joy

"As the apostle Paul exhorted Timothy Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life
(1 Timothy 6:12).
There are too many who are striving to obey all of God’s commandments who have little peace and joy. 
This lack is the result of a failure to
---maintain regular communion with the Father,
---and of not fortifying the mind with God’s word and not meditating on the words of life."

A: Then death and the grave were thrown into the lake of fire. This lake of fire is the second death.
Revelation 20:14 NLT

Matthew 13:39 & the Everlasting Gospel

"Under the symbol of three angels' messages, there is introduced in the book of Revelation a threefold warning, which is followed by our Saviour's coming to reap the "harvest of the earth." (Rev. 14:14,15)

In the public ministry of Christ, our Lord gave a parable in which
He presented not only the seed sowing and the growth of the plants, but also the final "harvest."

In explaining this parable to His disciples, He told them distinctly that "the harvest is the end of the world," (Matt. 13:39) thus showing that these three messages not only immediately precede the end of the world, but that they contain the truths which are to "ripen" the harvest of the earth,
 -the one class for the heavenly garner,
-and the other for the wine-press of the wrath of God.

The first of these messages proclaims the "everlasting gospel."
These angelic messengers of Revelation are regarded as symbols of messages of truth to be proclaimed by men to this last generation. While the visible workers are men, angels, who "desire to look into" (1 Peter 1:12) the truths of the gospel.

In the first of these three messages, however, there is, connected with the proclamation of the gospel, a new reason assigned why men should yield obedience to the Lord.
It is found in these words: "For the hour of His judgment is come." (Rev. 14:7)
This first angel's message does not say the judgment is coming, but "the hour [period] of His judgment is come."

Creation Moment 7/22/2020 - Mars Lesson?

And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Genesis 1:2Did our other solar system planets form by the same way via the Spirit of God?

"Mars may once have had an ocean – but only for a geological
blink of an eye, which puts a dampener on ideas that there is or was life on the Red Planet. That’s according to a new theory put forward by Tim Parker of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Signs that Mars was once rife with water litter the present-day surface, with numerous geological features that are difficult to explain if it was always the dry, dusty lo­cale we see today.

The trouble is that models of the ancient Mars climate struggle to match the conditions necessary to keep liquid water on the surface, which would require a thicker atmosphere. This atmosphere must have somehow been rapidly lost to leave Mars as we see it today."

IN the NEWS - Lesson from a "Christian" Podcast

Some of the Lessons from this podcast were:
1) The Influence on young people of LGBT nonsense in the Entertainment (and likely Social Media) arena.
2) The Dangers of  hard hearted "Christians" who sell out their God on LGBT topics presenting Scripture as having "Various" "Persepctives" thereby confusing the young searching God's Word on the Internet.
3) The fulfillment of Romans 1:32 on even the Home Front.

"The podcast episode is raw and heartbreaking. Jen Hatmaker, a
popular author and speaker, invited her daughter Sydney to discuss her homosexuality and spirituality. The open discussion was part of a special “A Moment of Pride” series on Hatmaker’s “For the Love” podcast.
This is like a known fact in our family, and has been,” Hatmaker prefaced the podcast.
Sydney speaks of recognizing she was lesbian around 12 years old (12 years old!), having pretend crushes on boys, and finally understanding her sexuality thanks to “representation of gay people just in movies and stuff.”

She admits to struggling with confusion and, quite sadly, doing her
own comprehensive Bible study to understand varying perspectives.

Sydney explained, “I just remember trying to Google it, and one of the first resources that I found was just this person talking about various Christian perspectives on same-sex marriage. And they were kind of providing some different leaders who had said different things on it.”
The article mentioned those who were “loving, but unaffirming” and then linked to an article written by Jen Hatmaker at the time. Sydney said, after that moment, “I didn’t touch a Bible for years.”

Towards the end of the podcast, Hatmaker says that among her greatest regrets is not reconciling homosexuality and Christianity sooner. In her own words:
So, it will just always be my greatest sadness that Dad and I
did not do our own work early enough so that you felt safe and beloved in your own family—or that we didn’t do our work in front of you even, that that was not something that we were talking about. He and I were, but we weren’t talking deeply about what we were learning and processing in front of you, and thus left you alone, and vulnerable, and scared. And I am so sorry. And I’m so sad. And if I could go back, I would change it. I would shake myself to life before you were even born, shake some sense into me. Like, ‘Look at this, look at what this is causing. Just look around, use your eyes, use your ears, use your brain, and use your heart.'”
I would not change one molecule of you, not one. I’m so glad you’re gay, I’m so proud that you are free. I love that this is how you were made. I’m thrilled about your future,” Hatmaker concluded.

The words of Romans 1:32 are striking. “Though they know
God’s righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.”

SDA Issues: What has been going on at Andrews?

Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
James 5:16

"Andrews seminary student and Mdiv recipient Paul-Anthony Turner, who also attended Southern Adventist University, recently shared on his Facebook page a letter from the Middletown SDA in Louisville, KY.


According to the letter, the Middletown Church elders and Pastor informed Paul that because of his theological views (Turner claims to be gay/homosexual), he would not be given church leadership roles.

Indignant, Turner made this letter public on Friday, posting it on his Facebook page.  He also invited readers to repost and/or share “anything  I‘ve discussed.”

What are some of the public views that Turner (who claims to be celibate) espouses regarding human sexuality?  Here is a sample:
  • Queer Eye is an indispensable theological resource for learning how & why to celebrate queerness in the Church.”
  • “Because of how we LGBT+  people have been subjected to
    immense abuse by incessant theologizing about sin regarding our lives, even though I hold certain traditional biblical beliefs about marriage that have led me to choose to be celibate to honor God, I choose to focus the Church’s attention on the breadth and beauty of the queer experience so that it may learn increasingly to celebrate those aspects of queer experience that go unnoticed and unappreciated and with which it should logically have no problem.  I pray Christians gain a new concern for LGBT+ people, one of celebration, instead of obsession with debates over sin, no matter how important those conversations may be.”
  • The church’s unwillingness to accept homosexuality is causing us to miss out on the “sacredness of queerness.”
  • “The longer we debate, the longer we miss out on the sacredness in queerness. We are missing out on all the wonderful, necessary color queer people cannot help but bring into the Church, and it is one of our weak links.  Maybe that’s just me, but what do I know?  I’m just a gay.”
  • “Bad theology #8: Adam & Eve were straight.”
  • “Bad theology #5: Homosexuality is a sin.”
  • “Bad theology #1: Adam & Eve, not Adam & Steve.”
  • “Gayness is a corrective for straight toxicity
  • “The “BLM org vs. BLM fact” dichotomy is a DIStracting and DEtracting nonstarter—yet another (whether veiled or unrecognized) instance of distrust of Black people’s ability to protest correctly."  What is Marxism, how *specifically* does it manifest in the BLM org, and why is its influence bad?”
  • “Edenic sexuality is not straightness.”
  • “And leave my boy Karl [Marx] alone; he was (largely) right.”
In typical social media outrage fashion, there are calls on Turner’s page to complain to the NAD, the Kentucky-Tennessee Conference about Turner not being selected as a leader in the Middletown SDA Church."

And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Genesis 1:2
Did our other solar system planets form by the same way via the Spirit of God?

Because water expands when it freezes and contracts when it
melts, the hot-start and cold-start scenarios have different implications for the tectonics and resulting surface features of Pluto,” added Carver Bierson, also from the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at the University of California Santa Cruz.
If it started cold and the ice melted internally, Pluto would have contracted and we should see compression features on its surface, whereas if it started hot it should have expanded as the ocean froze and we should see extension features on the surface.”
We see lots of evidence of expansion, but we don’t see any evidence of compression, so the observations are more consistent with Pluto starting with a liquid ocean.”

ARCHAEOLOGY: Peek into Pre-Flood North America

And God made the beast of the earth after his kind... Genesis 1:25

"Dilophosaurus wetherilli was the largest animal known to have lived on land in North America during the Early Jurassic.
Despite its charismatic presence in pop culture, major aspects of Dilophosaurus wetherilli’s skeletal anatomy, taxonomy and evolutionary relationships were unknown until now.
"It’s pretty much the best, worst-known dinosaur. Until this study, nobody knew what Dilophosaurus wetherilli looked like...,” said study lead author Dr. Adam Marsh, a paleontologist in the Jackson School of Geosciences.
Early descriptions characterize Dilophosaurus wetherilli as having a fragile crest and weak jaws, a description that influenced the dinosaur’s depiction in the Jurassic Park book and movie as a svelte dinosaur that subdued its prey with venom.
But the study authors found the opposite. The jawbones show signs of serving as scaffolding for powerful muscles. They also found that some bones were mottled with air pockets, which would have helped reinforce the skeleton, including its dual crest.
They’re kind of like bubble wrap — the bone is protected and strengthened,” Dr. Marsh said.
Skeletons of this species were collected from the middle and lower
part of the Kayenta Formation in the Navajo Nation in northern Arizona. Redescription of the holotype, referred, and previously undescribed specimens of Dilophosaurus wetherilli supports the existence of a single species of crested, large-bodied theropod in the Kayenta Formation.
The parasagittal nasolacrimal crests are uniquely constructed by a small ridge on the nasal process of the premaxilla, dorsoventrally expanded nasal, and tall lacrimal that includes a posterior process behind the eye."

IN the NEWS - God's "Biosphere 1" vs. Manmade "Bioshphere 2"

--Biosphere 1--
And God saw every thing that he had made,
and, behold, it was very good.
Genesis 1:31
--Biosphere 2--
"In the 1990s, a troupe of hippies spent two years sealed inside a dome called Biosphere 2.......the outside worldBiosphere 1, if you prefer....Looking back, it’s amazing that Biosphere 2 even happened at all.
They ended up starving
and gasping for breath .


As a new documentary Spaceship Earth tells their story, we meet the ‘biospherians’.

Biosphere 2’s origins lie in late-1960s San Francisco, and a man named John P Allen. Already in his 40s by then, Allen was something of a renaissance man: a Harvard graduate, a metallurgist, a union organiser, a beat poet, and a traveller studying indigenous cultures. He founded an idealistic performance group called the Theatre of All Possibilities. As the name suggests, they wanted to change the world but weren’t sure where to start. Art? Business? Ecology? Technology? In classic counterculture fashion, they decided: “Let’s do all of it!”

They turned their desert ranch into a self-sufficient homestead, planting trees and raising buildings, including a Buckminster Fuller geodesic dome.

In 1975, they even decided to build a ship. Their chief designer was a 19-year-old student with no experience of boatbuilding, but it proved perfectly seaworthy. They sailed around the world for several years, researching the Earth’s ecosystems.
Having learned how these worked, they were ready to build their own. If humankind was going to settle other planets, they reasoned, it would need to learn how to replicate Earth.

The Biosphere 2 launch was staged like a space mission. The media descended on the $150m Arizona facility, all gleaming white panels and ziggurats of glass, filled with forests, deserts, laboratories, recycling systems, pigs, chickens, hummingbirds, bush babies, and even a coral reef. There were speeches and fireworks as the jumpsuited volunteers sealed themselves in for the two-year journey into the unknown.


After a stable start, problems began to emerge. Food, for one. “We really could have used more calories,” says Linda Leigh, another biospherian.
Leigh had been involved with stocking Biosphere 2 with wild plants, but many of the food crops were too slow or too labor-intensive to be worthwhile. The wild coffee bushes took a fortnight to produce enough for one cup.
Rather than luxuriating in a Garden of Eden, the biospherians became more like subsistence farmers. There was a lot of beetroot and sweet potato. “It was a challenge to make exciting meals,” says Leigh. Everyone lost a lot of weight.

On top of that, oxygen levels decreased faster than anticipated, with
a corresponding build-up of carbon dioxide. Earth’s atmosphere is about 21% oxygen, but inside the biosphere it fell to 14.2 %. “It felt like mountain-climbing,” Nelson recalls. “Some of the crew started getting sleep apnoea. I noticed I couldn’t finish a long sentence without stopping and taking a breath of air. We worked in a kind of slow-motion dance, with no energy wasted. If the oxygen levels had dropped any lower, there could have been serious health issues.”

Understandably, morale deteriorated. Living under biosphere conditions was a challenge at the best of times. If the coronavirus lockdown feels restrictive, imagine spending two years with the same seven people and no internet. Nelson likens it to “a marathon group therapy session”. Added to which, true to their theatrical origins, the biospherians were on permanent display. Coachloads of tourists and schoolchildren arrived daily to tap on the glass and take pictures of the emaciated crew. Leigh remembers anthropologist Jane Goodall coming to visit. “She observed us like we were captive primates.”

Biosphere 2’s difficulties had not gone unnoticed, though Allen and the team had tried to conceal them. Eventually extra food was smuggled in and two oxygen pop-ups followed."

A Good Observation about Offerings

"The matter of offerings is of course left largely to the individual.

For some, an offering of a few cents would involve more sacrifice
than the gift of a thousand dollars would for another.

Should the man with ample wealth give a hundred dollars without having to make any sacrifice, it would not be so acceptable in the sight of Heaven as would a few dimes from one who had to deprive himself of some necessity in consequence of his gift.

For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to what a man has, and not according to what he has not.” (2 Corinthians 8:12)

But while each individual must use his own judgment as to how much he will give, the obligation to make offerings rests upon all; for the Lord, through the prophet Malachi, accuses his people of robbing him in the matter of offerings; but the withholding of offerings could not be called robbery if the Lord had no claim on us beyond our tithe."

Creation Moment 7/19/2020 - Dr. Eugenie Scott's personal war on Genesis 1

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

"Kaden had an interview with a leading American anti-creationist, Dr. Eugenie Scott.


In the interview transcript, she describes what introduced her to the controversy.
When a student in her lab class questioned the evidence for evolution, her response was that the animals spread out on the dissecting table showed comparative anatomy, which proved evolution: “[W]hat  could possibly be the explanation for all the similarity between fish and amphibia and mammals other than evolution… I was sort of surprised that anybody would reject evolution.”

Soon after Eugenie Scott encountered a Darwin doubter, she was
confronted with others living in her state of Kentucky who also did not accept evolution. Her reaction was “this is terrible.”  

A short time later she was invited by a rabbi and some Presbyterian ministers and Catholic Priests to make a presentation to the Lexington Alliance of Religious Leaders (LARL) on what creation science actually was; to her, it was ignorant biblical literalism. They concluded, if “biblical literalism was taught Monday through Friday they [the clergy] had to straighten out the kids on Sunday [teach evolution as fact].”

Eugenie Scott founded the organization today known as The National Center for Science Education (NCSE). The organization was first located in her basement, then, as the money poured in from others who also agreed with her that creationism was
dangerous and must be stopped, it moved to a large office in Berkeley, California.

Its goal was to, by any means necessary, including judicial decree (i.e., by court action), prevent the propagation of these ideas to the public—especially in government schools.

This background of the founding of the misnamed “National Center for Science Education” (NCSE) helps one understand the worldwide spread of pro-evolution and anti-creation propaganda that soon dominated the colleges, including Christian colleges. As Scott explains, the NCSE had to move every few years to larger facilities to deal with their growth, expanded activities, and growing influence.
Their one-quarter million active members and supporters indicates the level of their influence in the West. Through the influence of the NCSE, textbooks have been modified to include much more evolution dogma, and evolutionary claims have been put in every chapter instead of the last chapter."

IN the NEWS - 2 POSSIBLE SIGNS from the Sun to Fret about... (Just saying...)

And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring. Luke 21:25

"To the unaided eye, the Sun might seem relatively docile.
But our star is constantly bombarding the solar system with vast amounts of energy and particles in the form of the solar wind. Sometimes, however, formidable eruptions on the Sun’s surface cause coronal mass ejections, or especially energetic floods of particles — including ions and electrons — that careen through the solar system at breakneck speeds.


When they reach Earth, these charged particles can interfere with satellites, and under extreme circumstances, take down power grids.
The new research suggests that particles from powerful eruptions like this — specifically, the positively charged ions — might be responsible for triggering groups of strong earthquakes.

Previous experiments have clearly shown that compressing quartz, a rock common in the Earth’s crust, can generate an electrical pulse through a process known as the piezoelectric effect.
The researchers think that such small pulses could destabilize faults that are already close to rupturing, triggering earthquakes.
In fact, signatures from electromagnetic events — such as earthquake lightning and radio waves — have been recorded occurring alongside earthquakes in the past. Some researchers think these events are caused by the earthquakes themselves. But several other studies have detected strong electromagnetic anomalies before large earthquakes, not after, so the exact nature of the relationship between earthquakes and electromagnetic events is still debated."

"Former vice president and Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden said Tuesday the United States only has nine years to address climate change as he vowed to deliver net zero emissions by 2050 — 30 years from now.

Science tells us we have nine years before the damage is irreversible,” Biden said.

This contradicts what Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said last year when she was promoting the radical Green New Deal, as Breitbart News reported, including producing a video where she said 12 years was the deadline to prevent climate change catastrophe."
