Thank God. I was wondering how these people found this thread and started posting that nonsense.

Man was miraculously made from the dust of the ground & in the image of God, as per Genesis 1

Maker of all things knows best

Evolutionary theory was an artifice to pretend that there is no Almighty Creator

He is the Judge of all Earth

We must all give account of our lives to Him 1 day

"All have sinned & fall short of the glory of God" - Romans 3:23

We can only be redeemed by the Redeemer

We are only saved by the sheer grace of God, thru faith in the once-for-all atoning sacrifice of Christ on the cross of Calvary, to pay for our sins

Simple

But true

God bless!

Like me.. :p Ive seen a few threads here about this subject, so I figured Id post my own with my own personal opinions. Anyway ,Hello. Newbie here. Newbie, but not naive...[Oops got a little pride here, and in your title, Pride is a killer.] Heres my outtake on evolution. It cant be denied, but it is Gods will and design. Proof coming.. [There is no such a thing as proof of anything ever evolving from anything else.] God decides what and how far everything will evolve into. [He created each and every living creature just as they are, just the way they are.] If we all, and I mean ALL, humans, apes, chickens, rats, mosquitoes, frogs, cows, etc ALL originated at the big bang , [The only big bang there ever was happened when God said let there be, and bang there it was and He did it all in six days just like He said.] or stepped from the primordial ooze at the same time or whatever new theory may get tossed out,to make this sudden "spark of life" that evolutionists say was the catalyst of life, riddle me this... WHY did some organisms , say,,,a chicken , evolve into a flightless , defenseless bird that is at the proverbial "bottom of the food chain" ,[they didn't God created them that way.] yet we humans kept on gettin' it to the point we are. The top. [God created us to have dominion over all His creation, and to exist in complete harmony with it all.] Why did the life form known as the rat become a small rodent , scurrying through the sewers of the world , a prey animal, yet, a hawk decided that wasnt for them, were going to grow wings , claws, keen sight, and take to the air. [This didn't happen God created them that way.] According to hard evolutionists, all life started at once, so in essence its a big race to the top. That doesnt hold water... Its Gods plan. Theres no other possible rationalization.His plan was for a cow to be a feeder animal. For us. He made predators seperate from prey. Look at the eyes of a predator. Humans, dogs, cats, bears, lions, hawks, eagles,,, all eyes forward. Depth perception and target acquisition. Now look at prey animals . Rabbits, deer, antelope , etc Eyes to the side. Why ? To watch out for us predator types. Gods design. If evolution were the case alone , there would have been no prey animals.. I mean, who wants to volounteer for that job??? Just the philosophy of a ranting newbie ! By the way, nice to meet yall. :wave:

Any attempt to try to marry evolution to God is foolishness, and all the attempts to do so come from mans pride. God's ways, and thoughts are so much higher than ours, and it is identified in The Bible as foolishness to waste a lot of time in writting many books, and much study to know about God, which any attemp to rationalize that God used a man made doctrine to create anything is. That is what eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil is all about. If one will spend all their time in eating of the tree of life, developing a personal relationship with Him, thru reading only His Scriptures, and reiceiving no interpretation of them from any source but The Holy Spirit they will know The Truth. And when one receives a revelation it's only value to another is The testimony of what they were reading at the time of the revelation, and what if any changes it has made in their relationship with God. God sent The Holy Spirit to teach His circumcised in the heart true believers and tells us we need that no man teach us. So by this post you have identified your subject as coming from a deceived mind, and the fact that it came from pride. There is absolutely nothing to do with evolution in any way, shape or form in The Bible without adding to what is written there, and privately interpreting it. Both of this methods are direct disobedience to God's instructions as written, and demonstrated from Genesis to Revelation.

Well hello again. Thank you Appolonius and Dnick163, . Wow. Didnt mean to start the big war. Someone said they thought the op was a one post troll . If op stands for "original post" , or "me" , well, no , thats not the case. Im no troll. My job limits my computer time. Curt, you stated "So by this post you have identified your subject as coming from a deceived mind, and the fact that it came from pride." Maybe thats YOUR perception , but its an incorrect one . It was made with HIS glory in mind, not MY pride. Im new to this, open to everyones ideas as long as they arent anti-Christian , hostile, atheist , or self promoting and written just to show everyone how articulate you are . Im as friendly as they come, but I do anger when someone arrogantly trashes my opinion. Disagreeing is fine, but do it with class. I personally have to ask JetBlack and DavyUK your religous beliefs in brief summary. Im just curious.

Type in Job 38-41

Isaiah 41/45 is a similar, magnificent, majestic message from the Almighty, All-Knowing Creator!!

Just quickly to give you a taste before I must go:-

"Be silent before Me, you islands!

"Let the nations renew their strength!

"Let them come forward & speak; let us meet together at the place of judgment...."

This is your opinion - the assertion that others are sinply wrong and wasting time in getting their religious beliefs to match up with the world around them seems to me a much bigger sign of man's pride than the act of trying to understand the world around us. I think that if you gave me, and many other Christians, the choice of giving up faith in God and giving up science, there would be many fewer Christian's on this planet.


God's ways, and thoughts are so much higher than ours, and it is identified in The Bible as foolishness to waste a lot of time in writting many books, and much study to know about God, which any attempt to rationalize that God used a man made doctrine to create anything is.

That didn't stop the Bible being written though, did it? I agree that God's ways and thoughts are much higher than our own, and that it takes much study to know about God. I find it amusing that some feel this study should be limited to a little book; there's a great big Universe all around us that they believe he created, yet they refuse to use look at it to learn about him.


That is what eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil is all about. If one will spend all their time in eating of the tree of life, developing a personal relationship with Him, thru reading only His Scriptures, and reiceiving no interpretation of them from any source but The Holy Spirit they will know The Truth.

I was under the impression that humans were supposed to have been kicked out of the garden of Eden so we couldn't eat from the tree of life and become gods ourselves....yet now you are saying that God wants us to eat from the tree of life. I'm confused. Why not just let us eat from it in the first place?


There is absolutely nothing to do with evolution in any way, shape or form in The Bible without adding to what is written there, and privately interpreting it.

There's nothing about America or Australia in the Bible. There's nothing about the structure of the atom or quantum mechanics. There's very little about medicine (apart from some quite bad advice on dealing with leprosy IIRC). There's confusion over whether the Earth is square, round, or a sphere. There's implication that the sun travels around the earth (again, IIRC). Just because it's not in the Bible doesn't make it not true.


Both of this methods are direct disobedience to God's instructions as written, and demonstrated from Genesis to Revelation.

Isn't the assumption that we managed to get all down in the Bible correctly a sign of man's pride?

Is that all you've got?

On second thoughts shelve that idea because I can just tell you would be itching to fill the screen with mindless scripture.

Tell me - are you in need of some help?

Your posts are incoherent - now I see you are Pentecostal (and I find personally they are all lunatics) is your typing, typing in tongues?

Have you any knowledge of the subject matter of evolution at all?

"..for they received the message with great eagerness & examined the Scriptures, every day, to see if what Paul had said was true"

Some say they "only follow the Sermon on the Mount"

Strange none of them are perfect, huh?

Anyway, Jesus indicated there that He expects us to read between the Bible lines: no murder = we should know that hate & bitterness are wrong; no adultery = encouraging lust = weakening self-control = wrong

The ministry gifts of Ephesians 4:11 - given "to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up" (verse 12) - inc "apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors & teachers" :cool:

That big subject will be well covered in the Charismatic Movement forum here

Paul, teaching on orderly worship, in 1 Corinthians 14:29 said, "2 or 3 prophets should speak & the others should weigh what is said"

Clericalism's "1-man-band, 6 feet above contradiction" attitude seems to..

er..

contradict that :sigh:

The plumbline/yardstick is always the Bible :clap:

Hardly surprising..

"Where is the wise man?..the scholar?..the philosopher of this aga?

Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?" :bow:

(1 Corinthians 1:20)

God bless!

& THE LORD ALONE EXALTED IN THAT DAY" - recurs in early Isaiah

To switch to a different meaning & context of how things develop & change, within the boundaries & limits set by God - the phenomenal frequency of Bible prophecy fulfilments, in this climax generation, shows that the "day of grace" will soon end & the day of wrath & judgment begin

"Evolutionary theorising is like a black hole on a road to nowhere"

In other words, forget what you were, or weren't, in the past

Which way will you develop in what future you have on Earth?

Where will you go from here?

Do you want to be sure of going the right way, in the ultimate change in life?

If the missiles/MOABS fly your way tonight, do you want to go straight to Heaven or straight to Hell?

As I said to a crowd of teens, who asked questions while I did my "Town Crier" tour of town, plugging this very thread, you can't put God into a box or test tube & you can't expect any finite human to understand the Infinite, All-Knowing, Eternal, Almighty Creator

Trust/faith/confidence is needed for any healthy, successful, strong relationship

God's Word can be trusted

Man's can't

People will always let you down, 1 way or another

"God puts His Word above His name"

He cannot lie

He cannot die

2 choices to metamorphose into when earthly life is over...

Eternal bliss with all who truly love Jesus

Or eternal, conscious torment

As Sir Cliff Richard once sang it on TV, in "Thief In The Night" - you can fall with the night, or you can rise with God's Son

"God will not always wrestle with a man"

"How shall we escape if we neglect such great salvation?"

Unbiased reader, if you have never turned away from evil, asked Jesus to forgive your sin & to come into your heart as Saviour & Lord, you are on the wrong road: the "broad road leads to destruction & the many walk down it"

Don't follow the crowd of lemmings, rushing blindly to the edge of the cliff - "pride goes before a fall"

"Strait & narrow is the road to life, & few find it", Jesus said

In this mad, crazy world, the norm is to reject Christ as Lord & Saviour, & go to Hell: don't be "normal"

Yes: that means it's abnormal to follow Christ & go to Heaven

But that's the only sane, sensible choice: stand out & swim against the polluted tide

Simple enough choice

Choose to change to the right road & stay on the right road

"Don't let the world squeeze you into its mould, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind - then you will be able to test & approve what God's will is: His good, pleasing & perfect will" - Romans 12:2

God bless!

Neither does all of God's creation fit into one book.

Colossians 2
2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;

Why believe things we have learned about God's creation contradict anything God wants of us?
Does the discovery of genetics shake your faith when it is only a small example of God's design?

Genesis 6
6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
9 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?

Man's eyes where opened and he saw the world as we see it now.

22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
23 Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.

Man's eyes could now see the universe as it is and as God made it.


Joshua 24
26 And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God, and took a great stone, and set it up there under an oak, that was by the sanctuary of the LORD.
27 And Joshua said unto all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a witness unto us; for it hath heard all the words of the LORD which he spake unto us: it shall be therefore a witness unto you, lest ye deny your God.

The stone was a witness as all stones are. So to study the stone and learn about its testimony is not a sin.


Proverbs 15
13 A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
14 The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.
15 All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.

To study the stone is expected of us.

Job 36
3 I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.

What man learns about the universe can only ascribe righteousness to the maker.

Man studying the universe and seeing Gods creation is not man creating a false god of science, to be believe this is folly because discovery is entirely different from creating.

The golden number (Phi) was discovered by man but it was there before man knew anything of it.
