To the Port of Glory

 He that endureth to the end shall be saved. Matthew 10:22

"It would be well if every youthful aspirant to the gospel ministry

would remember this, if merely to put our hand to the plough proved us to be called of God, how many would he found so; but alas, too many look back and prove unworthy of the kingdom.

Your life is one continued scene of warfare, both without and within; A Christian's career is always fighting, never ceasing; always ploughing the stormy sea, and never resting till he reaches the port of glory."

Creation Moment 10/21/2023 - Legacy of Darwin & Redbeard

Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another. Galatians 5:19-25

"Don’t fall for the artificial distinction of “far left” and “far right” that would classify the likes of Redbeard and his modern disciples at one or other end of a political spectrum. The proper distinctions are between Christ or Satan, Creation vs Evolution.

Darwin’s “tree of life” is really the tree of death. Its poisonous fruits are still ripening and tempting the unwary.

I urge people to read chapter 8 of Richard Weikart’s 2022 book, Darwinian Racism. The author, a history professor at UC Stanislaus fluent in German, is an expert on German political thought in the 19th and 20th centuries. He was shocked when he looked at one of

the favorite books of the modern White Nationalists, Might Is Right by Ragnar Redbeard, written in 1896. “Redbeard’s book is the most incendiary piece of social Darwinist literature that I have ever read,” says Weikart, “which is saying a lot, since I am an expert on the history of social Darwinism. Perhaps that is why the author used a pseudonym” (p. 133). 

Redbeard’s book was long forgotten but was picked up and promoted by Anton Levay, founder of the Church of Satan. In more recent years, leading White Nationalist organizations have promoted this book as essentially their bible. Look at the Darwinian mindset that motivated Redbeard’s thinking. Weikart writes,


In the pages of Might Is Right, Redbeard encouraged readers to grasp for power in order to triumph in the merciless Darwinian struggle for existence among unequal humans. 

---From the very first pages, Redbeard viciously and relentlessly

attacked Christianity—calling Jesus “the true prince of Evil”—and spurned Christian morality, such as loving others, showing compassion, and helping the weak. 

Rather, Redbeard insisted, “In actual operation Nature is cruel and merciless to men, as to all other beings…. We must be, like nature, hard, cruel, relentless.” 

---He dismissed with contempt the US Declaration of Independence’s dictum that “all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with unalienable rights,” because, he claimed, the Creator it referred to is a “mythical airy being.”

Redbeard’s Darwinist foundation led to the purpose of his incendiary book: “And it is proposed to prove in this book, that strife, competition, rivalry, and the wholesale destruction of feeble types of men is not only natural, but highly necessary.” 

---This was “Darwin’s law,” he said: the struggle for existence is the “only yardstick for morality” in his twisted view. In stark contrast to the Beautitudes of Jesus, which exalted the humble, merciful and poor in spirit, Redbeard preached: “Cursed are the Unfit for they shall be righteously exterminated.” CEH

The world is wobbling on a precipice of never-before-seen EVIL

For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to

this time, no, nor ever shall be. Matthew 24:21

Q: What could be worse than Hitler's Nazism and Holocaust?
A: Hamas and Islamist Fascism.

I. Hamas worse than Hitler....

Q: How did we find out exactly what the Nazis did to the Jews?

A: From their files they kept when they were defeated.

IN OTHER WORDS-- the Nazis didn't broadcast to the world what they were doing in the concentration camps. They didn't send photo's bragging about it to be published in the New York Times in 1945.

But Hamas and their ilk post pics in cyberspace bragging about their EVIL.

II. Suicide Bombings....

Q: Did the Nazis strap on Suicide Vests to kill Jews?

A: No. But Hamas and Islamist Fascists do (and fly planes into trade towers to their own death).

IN OTHER WORDS-- the level of HATE is so high, higher than Nazi HATE, that Islamist Fascists are known for Suicide bombings of people they HATE....to kill yourself in order to kill someone you HATE is an unimaginable HATE beyond even Hitler.

SUMMARY: The world is wobbling on a precipice that is the most dangerous in its history. An abyss of EVIL where, IF WW3 were to

happen to break out in the near future, we are not only facing a HATE never before seen by any other generation in a war, but many nations have nuclear weapons at the beginning of a world war, unlike at the end of WW2. And they were used twice then to end it. Now they have them at the outset....a Bloodletting the World hasn't seen....

Factor in the moral rot of people in Christendom of slaughtering unborn children in abortion mills, embracing the LGBT agenda, transing their kids, replacing the Biblical Gospel with the Green Gospel, natural calamities, fear of global economic collapse---you get the picture----an opening for the Little Horn Entity to cry peace, peace....along with its green carrot stick of Laudato Si'.

Q: Will there be more exploding comets in the near future that will hit earth? Apparently, this looks like it will miss earth based on where we will be....but what of others?

"A huge comet, three times the size of Mt Everest is racing towards Earth, astronomers have revealed.

The comet, named 12P/Pons-Brooks will narrowly miss Earth on

April 21, 2024. Estimated to have a diameter of 18.6 miles, 12P/Pons-Brooks is made of ice, dust and gases and is known as a cryovolcanic comet.

When heated by the sun, pressure begins to build inside the comet until it explodes.

Telescope imagery suggests the comet has exploded twice in as little as four months

According to modelling, 12P/Pons-Brooks will pass between the orbits of Venus and Earth, but by the time it does, the Earth will be safely tucked away on the other side of the Sun."

Deception on Death

For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. Ecclesiastes 9:5

Stories, like the one below, will be/are being used to deceive people about the STATE OF THE DEAD. 

The shutting down of the brain, going to a warm place shall we say, as one nears death isn't reality---no more than a dream is.

"A*** St*******, a 43-year-old researcher, had a so-called near-death experience when she almost drowned in the ocean as a sixteen-year-old. After years, she publicly shared her experience. She also

decided to study other individuals who had close encounters with death.

As a sixteen-year-old, she went swimming in an unguarded area. As she described years later to "The Mirror", she wasn't scared because she considered herself a good swimmer. Unfortunately, the waves quickly overcame her, and "the currents began to push her to the bottom of the sea and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get her head above the surface." - "I was being spun round and round and I no longer knew which way was up or down," she recounted.

When she was moments away from drowning, she had a unique, mysterious experience.

- I heard that voice deep within me, saying that I was dying, and then I felt complete peace - the woman says. - I immediately connected with everyone who had died before me and saw the secret of the universe, which they all already knew. It's about the fact that death is natural and comes for us all. This is the secret of a peaceful afterlife - she believes.

A*** confessed that after this event, she stopped being afraid of death. She also understood that life could end at any moment. - I am calm, knowing that when death comes, it will reunite me with everyone - she announced.

Today, a woman decided to professionally investigate the

experiences of people who have been close to death. She had many conversations during which she asked people what they remembered from the moment of "crossing over to the other side". She decided to share her findings on social media.

A*** talked about this in one of her TikTok videos. From her discussions, it appears that there are 11 universal experiences that people who have come close to death have relayed.

They are light, a sense of deep peace, meeting with loved ones who have passed away, indescribable joy, empathic connection with humanity, learning the secrets of the universe, overview of entire life, lack of attachment to earthly life, choice of whether to return to life, a sense of understanding what life is, supernatural experience, such as the ability to see angels."

Creation Moment 10/19/2023 - Man wants to Play Creator

"Recent technological advances have ushered human gene editing (HGE).... Because our beliefs about human origins shape our

conclusions about HGE ethics, thinking Biblically about HGE requires considering how God’s Word, in contrast to a naturalistic worldview, portrays humanity. 

This portrayal begins in Genesis, which depicts humans as finite, embodied, morally accountable creatures fashioned in God’s image for relationship with him and with one other. Genesis further reveals that after creating humans, God called everything he had made very good (Genesis 1:37).

Scripture’s origins account aligns with a “mimetic view” of reality, which sees the world as having meaningful givenness and orderliness setting boundaries on what creatures can (or should) do. 

For instance, a Biblical view of family mimetically regards children as gifts to be received from the Creator rather than as products to manufacture—a contrast which some authors infer from the terms pro-creation versus re-production.

In contrast, naturalism sees humans as evolved animals with only instinctive or socially constructed morality. Humans possess no transcendent meaning but are naturally programmed to perpetuate their purposelessness through survival and reproduction. 

This evolutionary perspective engenders a “poietic view,” which, according to Carl Trueman, “sees the world as so much raw material out of which meaning, and purpose can be created by the individual.”  

Such a view regards human nature as subject to further evolutionary flux, which humans can technologically direct." AIG

IN the NEWS - Mysticism Revival

 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: Exodus 20:4,5

"In the heartland of the United States, a spiritual awakening is stirring within the Catholic Church. A three-year initiative, known as the Eucharistic Revival, is reigniting the connection between the
faithful and Jesus in the Eucharist, the central element of Catholic worship. This revival is not just a call to routine observance but an invitation to foster a deeper, more intimate relationship with Jesus through the Eucharist.

For centuries, the Eucharist has been revered by Catholics as the

body and blood of Jesus Christ, a sacred mystery that forms the source and summit of their faith. Through the Eucharist, the faithful believe they partake in the divine, entering a communion that transcends the physical and touches the celestial.

At the heart of this revival is a series of prayers composed by various saints, each inspired by their profound devotion to the Eucharist. These prayers, composed by Saint Ignatius of Loyola, Saint Catherine of Siena, Saint Bonaventure, Saint Padre Pio, and Saint Alphonsus Liguori, offer the faithful a spiritual framework to express their love and devotion to Jesus in the Eucharist." BNN

False Doors of Ancient Egypt stem from a False Belief System: Ancestor Worship

For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing; they have no further reward... Ecclesiastes 9:5 NIV

"Ancestor worship was an important part of household religion and the belief that the dead could not only be communicated with but could also use their power to both help and hurt living beings, was an ingrained part of the ancient Egyptian belief system.

False doors were a specific type of funerary decoration often found

in the tombs of the Egyptian elite during the Old Kingdom... False doors were carved from a single piece of limestone and took the form of a narrow doorway surrounded by inscribed door jambs and surmounted by a lintel. 

The tomb’s occupant was usually represented seated at a table laden with food offerings: vegetables, fruits, bread, wine, beer, and meats—everything a soul would need to sustain itself in the afterlife. The family members and friends of the deceased could also be immortalized on the false door. These carvings were not portraits, however, but idealized representations. Both men and women were shown in the prime of their life: strong, healthy, vigorous, and fertile."

SDA News - Brooklyn Police

Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Exodus 20:8

"The New York Post published a story on October 14, 2023, about a woman named Johanne Saint-Jean from Brooklyn who was targeted, harassed, and ridiculed by her police department for asking to get the seventh-day Sabbath off for worship. The article stated:

 “A Brooklyn cop and Seventh Day Adventist was derided as a ‘scammer’ after she requested to be off on Saturdays to worship,

according to a lawsuit.”
“When she signed onto the job in 2016, Johanne Saint-Jean claims she was told she’d be able to adhere to her faith, a Christian sect that observes the sabbath from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday.”
“Instead, she spent the next eight years being chastised by superiors who allegedly told her, ‘You’re not Jewish. Why are you practicing like you’re Jewish’?”
“Bosses told Saint-Jean ‘there is no place for her in the police department’ because of her religion.”
 “I don’t understand your religion,” one boss told her, according to court papers. “Your religion is messed up’.”
“A supervisor also said her religion was ‘not for black people’ and she started being assigned to work Saturdays, she said. As a result, she was forced to use her own accrued time off for the Sabbath and has lost out on valuable overtime and transfers to specialized units.”
“Her problems multiplied in 2020 when Sgt. Robbin Abrams became her new boss, she contends. He allegedly told her that ‘no cop wants to work with you because you are a scammer’.”

Creation Moment 10/19/2023 - Evolution's 2 Camps at War

But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise... 

1 Corinthians 1:27

"Darwin was famous for his theory of natural selection (NS) as the primary mechanism for evolution, but NS seems to have been artificially unselected in a paper by American and Chinese scientists published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Their paper is still evolutionary, but portrays the Darwinists as the opposing team –

The key disagreement between the Darwinian view and the

universality view on the evolution of biological complexity is the role of historical contingency. Undoubtedly, efforts to search for universal rules benefit our understanding on biological complexity. However, by using the yeast protein interaction network as an example, we observed a correlation between network evolution and the universal tree of life. This observation strongly argues that network evolution is not ahistorical, but is, in essence, a string of historical events.

Poor Charlie is having a hard time. The evolutionists think they have something better now: universal self-organizing principles – things just spontaneously self-organize into complex systems." CEH

Papal Notes - Isalm bending the Knee

"You know our world is in trouble when top Muslim politicians do

the Pope’s bidding. 

It should come as no surprise that this is exactly what is taking place. On October 11, 2023, Pope Francis met with Dr. Sultan Al Jaber, the President of the United Nations Climate Summit (COP28). Al-Jaber also represents the United Arab Emirates as their Special Envoy on Climate Change. He met with the Pope to demonstrate his support for Laudate Deum’s worldwide call for action on the climate crisis.

Sultan Al Jaber: “The COP28 Presidency has developed its Action Agenda with four key pillars: Fast-tracking a just and orderly energy transition, fixing climate finance, focusing on people, nature, lives and livelihoods, and underpinning everything with full inclusivity. It is time to unite the world and act together to deliver actionable solutions to the climate crisis.”

In the book of Revelation, a power is presented that is cunning and

will play a role in imposing itself in the affairs of the nations. This beast will forge alliances with politicians, economists, bankers, and business leaders. It will also unite politics and religions and bring the churches under her control. Indeed, God’s word makes it abundantly clear that during these last days, this same power will be plotting to rule the world:
“And power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.” Revelation 13:7.

Pope Francis makes it very difficult for people not to apply this verse to Rome because he is leading out in uniting the entire world to save the planet, even as the souls of men and women perish in sin." AdventMessenger

Creation Moment 10/18/2023 - ENS

But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise... 

1 Corinthians 1:27

"Scientists have debunked a notion that during development a “second brain” emerges from the neural crest that runs the gut. The gut is lined with neurons called the “enteric nervous system” (ENS) that tells the brain when we are hungry, full, or have indigestion. But does it come from the neural crest in the embryo? Prepare for decades of dogma to be thrown out the window.

Since the mid-20th century, scientists have believed that the ENS is

derived from the neural crest before birth and remains unchanged after. 

Now, in a paper published in the journal eLife, researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) present a completely new paradigm describing a developmental pathway by which ENS development continues after birth in mice and human tissue samples. 

This discovery overturns decades of scientific dogma on the fundamental biology of neuroscience and of ENS, by showing evidence for the first time of a non-ectodermal and a mesodermal origin for large numbers of enteric neurons born after birth. 

The findings show the relevance of these neurons to the maturation and aging of the ENS in health and disease." CEH

VIOLENCE: Allow me to introduce another theory to man's theories

"There are two prevailing theories about the early history of interpersonal violence: 

One claims violence erupted as humans transitioned from hunter-

gathering to settled communities; 

the other claims violence was rampant in early communities before the transition to farming led to cooperation and greater peace, per Scientific American. 

Yet "a more nuanced picture is emerging," according to an ambitious new study of the remains of 3,539 people who died in what is now Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, and Jordan up to 400 B.C., per Newsweek. European researchers, who sought to learn about violence among humans at a time when written records are largely absent, came up with findings that don't neatly match either of the two narratives.

The “association” offers reward money, photos of suspected operatives it wants identified, and instructions on how to anonymously inform.

The 3 Phases of the Judgment SIMPLIFIED

I. The Pre-Advent Judgment (of who is saved and lost performed before the hosts of heaven--to see that God made the right decision) 

I beheld till the thrones were cast down,
and the Ancient of days did sit,
whose garment was white as snow,
and the hair of His head like the pure wool:
His throne was like the fiery flame,
and His wheels as burning fire.
A fiery stream issued and came forth from before Him:
thousand thousands ministered unto Him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him:
the judgment was set,
and the books were opened.
Daniel 7:9,10


II. The Millennium Judgment (The Saints Judge during the thousand years to see that God made the right decision about the lost humans and angels) 

Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? 

Know ye not that we shall judge angels?...

And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, 

and judgment was given unto them:
and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.
1 Corinthians 6:2,3/Revelation 20:4-6


III. The wicked Judge (the wicked Judge that God made the right decision pertaining to their fate)
And when the thousand years are expired.....And I saw a great white throne, and Him

that sat on it,
And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.....and they were judged every man according to their works.

Law of sin

"In order to understand what the “law of sin” is, we need to go deeper into Romans seven. In Romans 7:14-25, Paul talks about how our sinful nature wars with our God-implanted desire to do the right thing. Within this larger discussion we find this passage:

So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. Romans 7:21-23

Here Paul speaks of “another law at work in me, the law of sin.” Paul is referring to our sinful human nature, which he calls a “law,” as though it is a natural law, like gravity. And, indeed, the outworking of our fallen human nature does seem to be as constant and predictable as gravity.

But Paul’s message in Romans 7:1-6, is that the Christian believer is, because of Christ’s death on our behalf, free from the “law of sin.” We do not need to be married to it anymore:

“So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law [that is, the law of sin, which is your sinful human nature controlling you] through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God.” Rom. 7:4.

Clearly, the “law” of which Paul speaks is the “law of sin,” at work in us, our sinful, fallen nature, not the Ten Commandment law. But this is made even clearer in the next verse:

For when we were in the realm of the flesh, 

the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in us, 

so that we bore fruit for death. 

Rom. 7:5.

The sinful passions aroused by the law? What law? Again, obviously “the law of sin” which is the outworking of our sinful, fallen human nature. The NIV drops a note after the word “flesh” (Gr.: sarx), stating that here, and in many other passages, it is not used literally but rather in reference “to the sinful state of human beings, often presented as a power in opposition to the Spirit.” Exactly. And this is what Paul calls “the law of sin” and what he says we can be free from.

“But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law [again, the “law of sin” at work in our nature] so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.” Rom. 7:6

We can now see that Romans 7:1-6 builds on what Paul wrote in the previous chapter. The “dead husband” metaphor is part of an extended argument against cheap grace, against continuing to sin after you have repented and claimed forgiveness through faith." F.D.Nichol/F7

But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

"How long can ancient DNA survive, and how much stuff do we need to escape poverty? (Science, 5 Oct 2023). This is a podcast by Science Magazine with Sarah Crespi, Erik Stokstad, and Katherine Irving that explores the lifetime of ancient DNA. In the podcast at 19:15, Irving talks with Love Dalén about forces that degrade DNA over time:

Well, we know that DNA degrades over time, even long after the

death of an organism when it’s kind of in a dry bone or similar. And the main process that degrades DNA is hydrolysis. So basically, the DNA reacts with the water. And even in dry state, there’s always a little bit of water in all samples. And so this kind of leads to a continuous degradation so that DNA follows kind of a half-life process where the fragment sizes become increasingly smaller and smaller.

Low temperature and darkness can extend the half-life, Dalén says, but he does not put an upper limit on the lifetime of DNA. Most samples date under 10,000 years." CEH

Moral Science

"All admit that the State should not teach Christianity; but some say we must teach morals without it. 

Moral science aside from Jesus Christ is immorality; it is sin. 

The works of the flesh are clearly stated in the last part of Romans chapter one. 

These are found in every individual that has not been converted to

Christ; we denounce the heathen for doing these things, but "there is no respect of persons with God" (Rom.2:11), and He condemns those things in us just the same and shows us that we are no better than they. 

"Therefore, thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things." Rom. 2:1.

 

Whoever knows enough to condemn the evils of the heathen

 is condemned himself for he does the same things."
