creation

A key element that must change in the Christian faith: “Creationism”

Christian, General, Guide, Life, Relationship, Thoughts, , , , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

This key element is those that stick steadfastly to the believe that this planet is only a few thousand years old. This is believed by those that strictly follow what is called “Creationism.”
Now I want to make this perfectly clear. I still believe and adhere to that fact that God did create this planet and all that is upon it as well as the entire universe. I wholeheartedly agree with the creation story listed in Genesis.
Adhering to strict creationism those that follow it, in my eyes, actually limit God. Now how would I make such a statement?
First and foremost creationist state fervently that only this planet is the only thing in the universe, they have since expanded it to this solar system. The mere fact that they must keep expanding it proves it is a man-made doctrine and does not agree with the Bible and is designed to fit the needs of the people purporting it.
I am one that does believe in a Pre-Adamic race and there have been discoveries of humanoid bones that support this. It is this refusal to accept hard evidence that hurts creationist and in turn hurts all Christians everywhere. They call science evil and something to be ignored as coming from those that wish to discredit and remove the reality of God and to some degree that is a true statement. Here is the kicker though, when science is done correctly and sticks to the facts, as it should be done, it actually supports that there is a God.
Simply mathematical science. When you take a look at the odds that this planet would cause not only life but intelligent life throughout the entire huge universe is astronomical, which as I stated above confirms God is real. The Big Bang theory again confirms God for it is exactly how He did it in that moment and as a result 98% of the entire mass of the universe was created in the few moments.
Does this make me a Theist? Yes it does for I believe that limiting God to one tiny speck of a planet throughout the entire universe makes Him as insignificant as a bed bug.
God created the heavens and the stars this means he created galaxies and within them are solar systems and within them are planets, as science has documented. So why limit God to this planet. Why limit God to a few thousand years when there are bones of ancient animals and people found buried deep within the surface of this planet. Do I think the planet is billions of years old? I honestly do not believe so, for I think there is errors in the methods of carbon dating for they are originally based in comparison to the layers of the planet they had to go through and they theorize it is a set amount of time. Yet it has since been document that some layers that can been up to several feet deep happened in a few days due to a volcanic eruption and also due to meteors hitting the earth. Have they then adjusted the carbon dating scale? No they have not. Do they need to do so? Yes they do.
One of the main reasons I feel that carbon dating needs to be revisited is actually found within the Bible in the book of Job 40: 15-19 whose very description is now full confirmed though science to be an Apatosaurus. So if it is walking in biblical times how can carbon dating be accurate?
It is when people challenge the norm is when there is growth in people, in society, in religion. Did not Martin Luther challenge the norm and did not Christian go through a great growth due to it? Yes it did. Did not Galileo challenge the norm and so we went from thinking the earth was the center of the universe to being just one planet within a solar system. Well it is time again for the norm to be challenged and for there to be growth. Why? Because those that oppose God and wish to remove Him from the minds of all humanity are winning at this time. Only through a willingness to challenge what is thought to be normal will we ever grow. Not only in our believes but in our faith in God and for God. For when doing so we will be able to embarrass the fact that this mere speck of a planet is nothing in comparison to God and that very fact that it is so unimportant and yet He took time to place life upon it of all types speaks of how great and glorious He is.
Yet even to contemplate this causes many to run and hide to what is normal, but as they do so we are losing several generations of humankind to those that wish to say there is no God. This to me is acts of selfishness for when you think only of yourself and not of others and of their salvation and of their ability to share in an eternal life that will allow them to explore all of God’s creation which is the entire universe you not only harm them but yourself.
Yet what was normal? A flat planet. Earth is the center of everything. Buying your way into heaven with Indulgences. This solar system was the only one in the entire universe. The universe has always existed exactly the same, forever. Animal sacrifice.
Are they normal now? No they are not. Why is that? Because they were all formed by humans, not God. What has not changed and is continually reinforced? The Bible and in so doing GOD is proven constant and true and real.

As spring looms

The days of rebirth are approaching. The nights of contemplation as some will lay upon the ground looking up at the stars. Little things may catch your eyes like the flashing of light from a firefly or the droning buzz of a Cicada fills the air once again. It is time to truly look upon these things and to truly think upon what it is you are seeing. For it is not just specs of light in the sky, it is not just a bug with a chemical ability to shine its tail to draw a mate, nor is it the sound of another insect also seeking out a mate.
All of this come from one being. All that you see about you come from one entity. Form the largest of stars to the smallest of insects and even beyond that it was all made by one being.
Yet many will say it is just chance. Yet as I have mentioned before mere chance could not even explain their very existence on this tiny speck of a planet on the edge of a galaxy which itself is on some obscure part of the universe. All their ideas which are called theories actually confirm that God the creator of all is real.
Think on that the next time you see the little wonders of this planet.

It is time for Christians to adapt

Christian, General, Life, Relationship, Thoughts, , , , , Leave a comment

Not to change, but to adapt. Why would I say this?
We have to understand that due to those that oppose God and the Bible are succeeding at destroying a generation. In today’s hectic world and due to the removal of God from the schools this generation has no true concept of God, the Bible or of Christ. The same in away could have been said during the time of the Crusades when common folk had to depend on those that could read and the rich to tell them what the Bible said. As is evident by the fact that there was the Crusades shows that these few and rich lied to the commoners and made them accept the lie as truth and that the lie came from God when it did not. It came from those men. The same is now true today due to our chaotic lifestyles.
Many have been told lie after lie until they think there is no God and we exist by pure chance. The thing is if those who teach these believes and lies would actually look at the mathematics behind their theory they would quickly learn that they should not even exist. The pure math says that we are a creation of God; just by the mere vastness of the universe, itself shows that they have no idea of what they are talking about.
We need to approach this generation at a different angle. Still telling the truth of the Bible, which includes making them understand that a sin is still a sin. However, for this to happen those of us that are called to teach of and about God and His Son, we need to bring our believes in line with the evidence before us.
Each time there was a change in the believes of the Bible it was met with struggle and anger. Not necessarily from outside the faith, but from within it as well.
They called teaching that the earth revolved about the sun instead of the other way around was heresy and meant at the least imprisonment and the most being burned at the stake.
Now we accept that the world revolved about the sun because it has been proven.
Now we know there are other solar systems, and there are other planets within them.
Many in the church still insist that this is the only planet and that it is only five thousand years old. Yet there is enough evidence to counter it. I am not saying that how the world was created per the Bible is not correct. Quite the opposite. I am saying it is correct. How long is a day to God? I know it is longer than a day as we know it. There are those that say one day to God is one thousand years to us (2 Peter 3:8). This is my point. When we do not have concrete evidence we must stay with the Bible, but when there is concrete evidence we need to at the very least consider it and if need be to correct our viewpoint. It has been done before why cannot we do the same now.
It is this lack of willingness to change that is chasing away the younger generations because they see the evidence and it has been proven.
It makes those in the church look like liars and to a degree, they are. Not only to those outside the faith, but to themselves.
They limit and diminish God, which again causes this generation to turn away from God. For if those in the church diminish God why shouldn’t they do the same.
The Bible clearly states that he created the heavens, and then earth. (Genesis 1:1)
The heavens is not only this universe, but heaven, which is in another dimension. Multiple dimensions is something that is being thrown out to the world to hear. They cannot prove it, but the Bible does prove it since it shows that heaven is in another plain of existence, which is another dimension. Yet many in the church deny it and as they do, they deny the Bible and God, not intentionally, but they do it all the same.
The Bible supports this as fact, yet those in the church call it a lie.
It is not a lie it is fact. God created the universe. The entire universe where there are millions of galaxies and solar systems, millions of stars and millions of planets about them.
Is there life on these planets? That even the Bible does not say. So even I can go no further without speculating, which in turn would be an untruth since there is no known evidence, and it is not stated in the Bible.
The facts I have stated above need to be accepted by all that follow God. They need to realize just how powerful God truly is; for when they do, they will become even more humble and realize that God wishes to call upon us to serve and worship Him and His glory and creation.
I heard a pray by an Atheist the other day, and he accepted the creation of God more than Christians do and yet he still denies there is a God.
Just think on that for a bit.

It is time to look at the bigger picture

Christian, General, Life, Thoughts, , , , , Leave a comment

Too many especially within Christendom limit God. It is something that is truly sad. God is more than a creator of a planet no bigger than a speck of dust within the universe. God created the entire universe. The imagery given us in the Bible shows how powerful and great God is. Not only is He the created of the universe but He also created multiple dimensions. At this point, many have stopped reading or are laughing, but think on it. Can you see Heaven? Yet it exists. That means it is in a different plain of existence, this means it is a different dimension. You see you limited God. This is my whole point. We have learned so much in the last hundred or so years. It is said in Daniel that our knowledge would increase as the return of Christ grew ever nearer and that we would be go to and fro.
For centuries, it was fine believing so limitedly, because the knowledge we had equaled it. At one time humans believed that this planet was the center of all then they found that the sun was the center. Later still, they found that this sun was on the edge of a huge galaxy. Now we know there are thousands of galaxies. This does not change the believing in God but confirms this believe. For in the very first verse of the Bible it states that God created the heavens and the earth. Earth has always been a minor character when compared to the heavens, but we have never been minor characters to God. For if we were God would have never sent us His Son so we could be able to fellowship with Him.
All humans have grown as beings created by God. As the centuries pass, we gain more and more knowledge, which allows us to know that God is real. Yet at the same time, there are those that still deny His existence yet the very fact that we have reached this stage shows of His truth and Glory.

The workmanship of God

When we think of God, we think of light, we also think of the source of our light that we see every day, the sun. What people have dismissed is that God created the sun just as was this planet.
Also people do not realize that the sun is huge. It can take 1,300,000 earths to fill the sun. Yet that sun is small. The largest known star at this time is VY Canis Majoris. It is estimated that it is 950 to 1200 times the size of our sun. Yet again this is nothing compared to the rest of the universe, and He who made it all, God.
I think this is one reason people have such a hard time accepting that God is real. Many limit God to this little speck in the universe, making Him as important as the insects that crawl and flay about.
It is sad that they do this, that the ultimate being that has the power to not only to create this planet, but to manipulate it as well. He has stopped it from rotating. He has turned a river to blood. He spread apart a sea. Yet people limit and ignore Him. Said it was just and nature event that cause these thinks to take place. Apparently you missed the earlier sentence that God can manipulate this planet, meaning to cause “nature events” to take place.
Did you see a bird today? You just saw the workmanship of God.

The rain comes down

Christian, General, Life, Thoughts, , , , , Leave a comment

The rain comes down and cleans the ground and the air, washing the impurities away. Carrying them into the ground where what is impure causes plants to grow and food to germinate.
Then once again, the cycle repeats itself, the perfect system.
Yet those that doubt God do not see His hand in it. A system designed to promote life, a system that feeds off each other.
We breathe in oxygen and nitrogen and exhale carbon dioxide, which feeds the trees and causes it to grow and release oxygen into the air. Tet there are those that do not see within it the hand of God.
God who created everything you see and you yourself. Yet there are those that do not see God.

Creation

Christian, General, Life, Thoughts, , , , One comment

There was nothing but God. So God decided to create something. He thought upon it and so created a vast universe, filled with masses of different sizes spread throughout it. They were dead and devoid of anything save rock and ice.
Then He lit some of these masses and filled the universe with light called stars. This in turn created greater gravitational pulls within them that caused nearby large masses to start and orbit the newly formed suns.
And the suns heated these planets and so the ice melted and created atmospheres and water, upon some of these planets. It also causes the water to settle into low places upon these planets and land became exposed to the newly formed air. As a result, vegetation began to grow due to the fresh clean air and rains to allow them to grow.
Then God causes other masses to draw near some planets. They too began to orbit, but not about the sun, but the planets themselves. As a result, some of the planets shift slightly due to their moons and the temperature begins to shift allowing seasons to occur, which causes the plants to develop growing cycles.
Then live appeared in the oceans, and soon after many creatures left the water and lived upon the land and flew through the air.
Then God created man.

This is the first twenty-five verses of the Bible, in my interpretation of it. Surprisingly this is how many of those in science say life came to be. None on earth at this time was alive to confirm or deny these facts within the Bible.
At one time people thought the world was flat. At one time people thought the earth was the center of the universe.
We now know we are on a planet that circles a sun. One sun out of billions in a universe so vast that earth is smaller than a grain of sand within it in for comparison.
When people limit God solely to this planet they limit Him to smaller then that very grain of sand found upon the beaches of the very oceans He created. We should humble ourselves and feel the honor that He has bestowed upon us for decided to create us, for we are less than a cell within the body of an ant, which He also created.
Do not limit God; glorify how truly great He is. To do this you need to live the life He desires us to live. A life that follows the rules and laws He has set forth for us to follow within the Bible.

To study nature is to study God.

God created the universe. God created the planet Earth. God created the animals upon this planet. God created humans. Now I am one that does not follow the thinking of creationist. To me that limits God. Too many times humans limit God.
There will be those that say the plagues that the Egyptians suffered was due to a nature disaster. I will say since God created the earth He can control the earth and so made the natural disaster in the first place.
God created all the animals upon the earth and so how they behave is due to His plan. Therefore, when you look at a pride of lions, a herd of elephants and a flock of geese flying in a “V” formation you are looking at God.
The universe is too vast to state that by random chance life formed upon this planet. It is also too vast to state that this is the only planet in the universe to have life.
We are promised upon the return of Christ upon the earth that we will receive an eternal body. Why would you need an eternal body if it were meant to stay solely here upon this planet? It is this very reason that as you look upon nature you will see the hand of God. The mere diversity and complexity of each life form be it a planet or an animal speaks of a divine purpose.
Many animals have gone extinct mostly due to humans. The Moa, the Dodo, and yes even the so-called mythical dragon were killed off by man, known as a Behemoth in the book of Job within the Bible. Trolls of myth could have been Neanderthals, and yet they were still killed off by man as well.
All cultures speak of the flood, even the Aztecs and Maya in murals upon the walls of their pyramids, and yet there are those that deny God is real. If you were to truly watch a hummingbird fly, you could never make such an assumption. For God is so great that He thought of even the most basic things as the very atoms that compose everything within a universe that is so vast it is immeasurable.
