And you confirmed by example why.<br /><br />Do you know what the time of trouble (tsaw-raw) cited in Daniel 12 means? It means the time of the female adversary. The adversary of God and of Michael.<br /><br />It is THE troubled time for the nation, a time worse than any other in all history, due to the actions and effects of tsaw-rah, the female rival, female adversary -- vexer. The national affliction IS the female adversary, which has a distinct spirit but collectively is feminism.<br /><br />Yet feminism is just as popular and ingrained in the Christian churches and households as in secular institutions. When I rebuke a person calling himself a pastor for rejoicing in women inevitably crashing the next 'male dominated' whatever, he claims he is not a feminist. <br /><br />You show up and distract from the lesson that I was teaching you, him and others concerning what King Jeshua expects in his Kingdom. He does not join in your joy at women 'courageously' breaking down the 'patriarchy' that He wants and demands. Otherwise you get the society of the tsaw-raw, with fifty million abortions and legions of fatherless households. But hey, You Go Girl!<br /><br />Tsaw-raw implies a narrow passage, a squeezing through a difficult strait. Likewise, the time of the power of the female adversary (now) is also when 'thy people shall be delivered' -- maw-lat, to escape by slipperiness. As through a narrow birth passage.<br /><br />Those who carry the doctrines of feminism and female celebrationism will not pass through. They are part of the female-adversary problem, not part of the resistance, which shall be delivered. little dynamohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11380746207592226835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923571518579487836.post-76080577444652933872020-05-26T21:02:56.172-05:002020-05-26T21:02:56.172-05:00Zachary,

Upon what is all of western society moral and legal code based upon?<br /><br />Our carnal, worldly, understanding is a slippery slope that leads to all the wrong places. What then are we left with?<br /><br />The Spirit.<br /><br />What does it mean to be holy? Holy as in a digital function holy? Is God holy? If so, what are the consequences of His holiness? What does that mean and how can we see it? How is it expressed in Scripture?<br /><br />These questions go on and on but at the end of the day you have to come to a conclusion, is God true (holy) to His Word or not? Is God holy?<br /><br />There are but two answers. Holiness is a pure digital function. There is no middle ground. Answering this fundamental question leads to certain conclusions -- one of which is either all of the Word of God is holy (true) or none of it is holy (true). Even the parables speak truth.<br /><br />The fact that we humans may not be gifted to wrap our finite minds around God sized facts doesn't mean that they aren't true. It just means we are human and yet to be perfected as glorified children of the Father. (Even then we may not fully understand!)<br /><br />Beware of creating *god* in your own image. It is an epic fail of Biblical proportions. Instead, it is good to ask questions and take them to God. Seek Him and His Holy Spirit as teacher and humbly seek truth as a child of God, a student of the Word and a disciple of the Spirit.<br /><br />If it is wisdom that you seek, seek it from the true source. Does God not give such things freely? Indeed He does.<br /><br />May we all begin and end with,<br /><br />5 You shall love the LORD your<br />God with all your heart and with<br />all your soul and with all your<br />might.<br /><br />(Deuteronomy 6:5 ESV)<br /><br /><br />No command is greater than this.<br /><br />None.<br /><br />I pray you are humble and steadfast on your walk and are bold to ask BIG questions. Expect BIG answers.<br /><br />Blessings,<br /><br /><br />PRPastor Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09311564658668497654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923571518579487836.post-71303744244016706342020-05-26T20:56:55.592-05:002020-05-26T20:56:55.592-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Pastor Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09311564658668497654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923571518579487836.post-36720002677524642292020-05-24T17:58:10.651-05:002020-05-24T17:58:10.651-05:00Take 50% of the total of "Christians" in...Take 50% of the total of "Christians" in the earth or on the earth(whatever), that don't go in the Rapture.

That your are even posting here tells me that He is calling you, trying to call you out of the darkness of this dying world where evil has just about reached the point of no return. Do not look to the world, it has nothing to offer except death and eternal separation from the Lord. Mankind is on a collision course with the Lord, and the only safe place to be is with Him. Either you are with him or you are not, there is no such thing as 50 shades of grey, it pure black and white.<br /><br />Yours in Christ!<br /><br />-JoeJoe Bovahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05241765939047980597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923571518579487836.post-83623714162950810162020-05-23T19:10:18.097-05:002020-05-23T19:10:18.097-05:00"Therefore, if you believe in God, the one tr..."Therefore, if you believe in God, the one true God, the God of the Bible and His Son Jesus Christ, you must, by faith, believe that the Lord’s account of Creation is non-negotiable. Here the choice is simple, believe the God who has told you the end from the beginning or trust yourself in your extremely limited knowledge. There are no other options."<br /><br />My friend, it is time to put away the swaddling clothes humanity wore when it was in its infancy. I am the first to admit that my knowledge is limited. However, I will not for that reason choose to submit my freedom of thought to outworn creeds. That would be a cure worse than the disease. I can choose to either follow the guidance of the overwhelming majority of credentialed scientists, or I can instead give credence to a cottage industry founded and maintained by those who would profit from fleecing the ignorant. <br /><br />It's literally impossible that the Bible is correct when it comes to many of its claims. Does that matter to me? Well, the Bible is a literary text like any other. Does it bother me that Hamlet never existed? No, because I do not look to literary texts for historical accuracy.<br /><br />Look at it this way. When we say that a tool has a purpose, what are we referring to? There is no empirical thing called a "purpose" that we can point to. It is a word - a metaphysical reality. Yet this thing that doesn't exist, is more real and more important than what wood or metal the tool may be made out of. The purpose of stories like the Flood or the Tower of Babel is what they teach us about what it means to be human. The fact that they aren't literally true doesn't even bother the Catholic Church, which long ago came to terms with the reality of Darwinian evolution.<br /><br />It mattered not to Thomas Jefferson whether the King of the Jews was born of a virgin and rose from his tomb on the third day. Perhaps God threw these details in to give his book a firm authority during eras when the human race was naturally more credulous. These details are the rind that surrounds the pulp, and I have no problem discarding them.

Completely?<br /><br />America is a feminist nation, in a feminist age, a country that has led most of the other nations of the world into various forms of female-centered idolatry -- or fanned the ones already present, more often. <br /><br />The Spirit of America is the spirit of rebellion against God, the same spirit that influenced Babylon, Jezebel, Athaliah and so on. It is the spirit of wickedness in the ephah that Zechariah witnessed. It is the goddess idol that stands emblematic of America, in the Great City's harbor, upon 'her own pillar' even as Zechariah witnessed, Libertas above the nation. A WOMAN rides the beast, and this is she. A greatly empowered woman, I might add.<br /><br />You thanked the family of Phyllis George for her dedication as a trailblazer in a male-dominated industry (media -- which is now, btw, over-run by females/feminists, even FOX). I guess your wife is one of those trailblazers. You're proud of Phyllis and your wife for breaking down the male-dominated 'patriarchy' on the way to what now exists in America: female/feminist domination of education, media, law and the courts, corporations, and largely government/the State. <br /><br />Fatherhood is in ruins in modern America, thanks to the feminist society embraced by all NWO organizations, from the UN on down. The Lord makes clear at the end of Zechariah what happens to nations where Elijah's pleas for father-restoration are ignored. Or worse.<br /><br />Equality is a doctrine of Lucifer. So is female 'advancement'. God wants nations of obedient, humble women who largely manage the home and bear children. He does not want nations (like America) full of hard-charging, patriarchy-smashing empowered princesses.<br /><br />The only ones who want women to be equal to men in 'male-dominated industries' are demons who seek the further destruction of fatherhood, masculinity, and family, and who champion the replacement of men in education, employment, and authority by elevated women as the new goddesses, en masse. Which indeed is now statistically the case both in education and employment in modern, improved America, where all that 'male-domination' now has been crushed.<br /><br />Human beings got into all this trouble for two reasons: the female wanted to be like God, and thus (minimally) equal to the male. Because she was created and charged as the helper to, and comforter of, the male -- not as his supervisor, not as his competitor, not as his equal -- her desire was and is rebellion.<br /><br />As recounted in the Bible, the FIRST and major sin of Adam was "listening to the voice of the woman" instead of listening to God. And here at the end of (standard) human history, here we all are again, and nothing has changed . . . instead it's gotten worse, and spread to the entire planet.<br /><br />Christ is not going to rapture anybody out of this planet and into His 'new Eden' while they bear and promote the doctrines of the princes of this world. I'm not judging anybody. I am giving you and all others like-minded a warning. <br />little dynamohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11380746207592226835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923571518579487836.post-75597784355951993122020-05-23T15:28:22.620-05:002020-05-23T15:28:22.620-05:00Thank you for a respectful and reasoned response t...Thank you for a respectful and reasoned response to this subject! Those resources sound very interesting. I am familiar with some of the writers but have not read those pieces.<br /><br />I particularly liked this statement: "There is nothing in the Bible that make any direct statement about what is outside of that timeframe for man." I believe there are certain things that God does not intend for us to know. Perhaps the true age of the earth is one of these things. It's certainly not within the ability of experimental science to come to a definite answer here.<br /><br />On the constancy of the speed of light, here is a (mainstream scientific) piece on ways that the speed of light varies:<br />https://bigthink.com/philip-perry/is-the-speed-of-light-slowing-down<br />Reikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07326356159794723662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923571518579487836.post-32529173883354761232020-05-23T11:05:13.310-05:002020-05-23T11:05:13.310-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Zacharyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14855452441331750800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923571518579487836.post-67803685901696096512020-05-23T10:23:53.744-05:002020-05-23T10:23:53.744-05:00Thank you Joe for speaking truth!Thank you Joe for speaking truth!Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03658613185254933839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923571518579487836.post-19493231269518996492020-05-23T10:13:52.334-05:002020-05-23T10:13:52.334-05:00Now here are a couple of questions for those who w...Now here are a couple of questions for those who want to hold on to an ancient universe. Why do all of the fossils that have been test for carbon-14, contain measurable amounts of carbon-14 when the half-life of carbon-14 is 5730 years? Why have we found soft tissue in dinosaur bones with hints of DNA when the half-life of DNA under normal conditions is 521 years? Why is it that the speed of light, which certain physics say is constant everywhere and does not change from one reference frame of motion to another, is different in say water or diamond? Moreover, how is it that we can trap a photon so it does not travel at the speed of light? Did you know that so-called empty space has measurable physical properties? All of these questions (and I have lots more) should make one pause and ask who is telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. We, man, do a lot of pontification out of ignorance.<br /><br />Since this is already a long post, I will not get into the incredible amount of empirical science that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that the earth is a sphere, except to mention two things. First is in the form of a question. Why did the Lord say, “As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us” Psalm 103:12 (KJV)? Why not north from south? The answer is childlike simple. If you travel north, and keep moving in a straight line, eventually you will be moving south because you have reached and past the north rotational pole. If you travel east to west, you NEVER get to the end, the distance is infinite because no matter how far you travel to the west, the west is always in front of you and east is always behind you. The second point is that from our perspective and from a visual perspective, the earth does not move from its place. Other than it daily rotation, which is observable and it circuit about the sun, which is observable, it is fixed in ‘its” place. However, the earth is in motion, it does spin and fly around the sun. Both are true and they are not in conflict. Consider the proverb “Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you yourself will be just like him. Answer a fool according to his folly, or he will be wise in his own eyes.” Proverbs 26:4-5 (NIV). Both are correct in their context. Oh, and the earth seem to be approximately in the center if the universe, look it up, carefully.<br /><br />For those who want to learn more about how science and the Bible go hand in glove where the Bible is the hand the science is the glove, here are some excellent books to read. I would also consider reading CMI’s multiple articles refuting the flat earth mythology.<br /><br />“The Deep Time Deception”, Michael J. Oard;<br />“Evolution’s Achilles’ Heels”, Creation Ministries International;<br />“Without Excuse”, Werner Gitt (warning, not for everybody, this is a science text);<br />“Starlight and Time”, Russell Humphreys (this is old and out dated but is an excellent example of cosmology outside the box);<br />“Genetic Entropy”, J. C. Sanford (to me, this is the ultimate insult to evolution).<br /><br />-Joe<br />Joe Bovahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05241765939047980597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923571518579487836.post-61071396170679474082020-05-23T10:12:27.872-05:002020-05-23T10:12:27.872-05:00Oh, my my my. I do not post often, but… Since, I’m...Oh, my my my. I do not post often, but… Since, I’m late to the game, I suspect that this many not even get read.<br /><br />I feel compelled to respond to this whole discussion regarding the flat earth, evolution verse creation and the age of the earth. I see good responses and I see, well as Paul said ‘If I have not love then I am just a banging gong’ my paraphrase of 1 Corinthians 13:1.<br /><br />I came to the Lord because my original first love of science proved to me that the Bible was in fact true. Now, Jesus Christ is my first love and science, real science, is simply a useful tool on my belt. I became convinced that the Theory of Evolution (TOE) is a satanic doctrine designed to cause man to doubt and not trust his Creator. Additionally, those who believe TOE must by all logic believe the Bible is not correct and is in error. If they do not believe that, then they are simply double-minded. However, the Bible is correct in that it contains perfectly accurate detailed history before it was history and it has referential integrity from a mathematical perspective that is not only impossible to reproduce, but in the minds of many, totally unbelievable. Therefore, if you believe in God, the one true God, the God of the Bible and His Son Jesus Christ, you must, by faith, believe that the Lord’s account of Creation is non-negotiable. Here the choice is simple, believe the God who has told you the end from the beginning or trust yourself in your extremely limited knowledge. There are no other options.<br /><br />Since science, true science, is primarily about empirical and observable phenomenon, we can postulate that by definition, for example, gravity can be defined, as force equals mass time acceleration on the surface of the earth. The reason we can call this a definition, from the perspective of the surface of the earth is because we have found that this mathematical relationship has no exceptions in what we as ordinary people can observe. However, to assert that the earth is x-number of years old is NOT SCIENCE in the operational sense. We cannot observe it; none of us has ever been there. As the Lord confronted Job:<br /><br />“Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me. Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?” Job 38:1-7 (KJV)<br /><br />To know the age of the Earth, we must first have a Biblical perspective or we are just blowing smoke. Without doing an exegesis or deep analysis of the biblical text, we can simply say that the Bible lays out 7000 years from the beginning of creation in Genesis to the end of the book of Revelation. There is nothing in the Bible that make any direct statement about what is outside of that timeframe for man. However, we do know that God is eternal and we are destined to be so; therefore, we can conclude that regardless of what we may think about other people ‘opinions’ regarding the age of the earth, it is not part of the current visible created world in which we live.<br /><br />Continued...<br />Joe Bovahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05241765939047980597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923571518579487836.post-41849642714638285972020-05-23T06:19:53.882-05:002020-05-23T06:19:53.882-05:00The Creation Museum is charlatanismThe Creation Museum is charlatanismZacharyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14855452441331750800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923571518579487836.post-74431871599307658292020-05-22T21:49:28.013-05:002020-05-22T21:49:28.013-05:00Zachary, I don't believe God has "abstrac...Zachary, I don't believe God has "abstracted Himself" from our reality at all.

Both secular ideas and Biblical truth are laid out side by side for you to consider. For me, my long held belief that the gap theory answered many questions was challenged. What I know is that with God, anything is possible and as it is written. That which is made, is not made of that which it does appear. What I found in that museum is compelling evidence the Earth is approx. 6000 years old. I see Jesus in every bit of it and I can't wait for his very soon return for his Church.

He exists wholly apart from and above it. Therefore science, which deals only with empirical reality, has no access to what God is or what he does, apart from deducing his existence at a second-hand remove, from perceived design and complexity. This is why science and religion are, in Stephen Jay Gould's words, 'non-overlapping magisteria'.

Can you?<br /><br />And no, the Bible is not like Moby Dick.

The Earth is approximately 4.5 billion years old. The observable universe is approximately 13.8 billion years old. <br /><br />"Creationist scientist" is an oxymoron. Yes, God even numbers the hairs on a little baby's head. But creationists have this kooky notion that God had to have "intervened" at some point during recorded history to have altered things like cell structure. They look for gaps in the fossil record to try to claim that at some point there was a quantum leap in the organization of biological complexity.<br /><br />Looking for scientific theories or facts in the Bible is like consulting "Moby Dick" to glean tips on how to make Thanksgiving dinner. It's a category error.

That is, their "science" doesn't work with the accepted laws of science - and that's only 2 of them!<br />* * * * *<br />The more I learn about the Gap THEORY, the more it makes sense to me from both a Biblical and scientific perspective. It also pays heed to the creation of angelic beings and the timing of the fall (Isaiah) prior to that of mankind. It's really more of an OLD creation; man has only been an occupant these past 6,000 or so years. Especially when we recall that God exists outside of time - He created time for US!<br />One more scienc-y thing: we don't know and can never state with any degree of certainty about beginnings and origins of anything because we do not know the conditions! Physics with regard to Relativity, Quantum Mechanics, Thermodynamics, and Electromagnetism (light) ALL make assumptions based on empirical analyses under CURRENT observable conditions (er, 350+ years ago with a nod to Newton). The fact is, we don't know - we're making assumptions based on what we know now!<br />It's like Aristotle said: "The more you know, the more you realize you don't know."<br />* * * *<br />The fact is our world does work and it's so amazingly astoundingly brilliant it's mind boggling!<br />Eco systems, bodily organs and vascular systems, the capabilities of the human brain, our planetary system (Hey, Pluto's back to being a planet now!) - they all WORK! <br />Because our Creator God said so.<br />* * * *<br />P.S. It's MY THEORY that dinosaurs were an experiment by the devil, Satan, to pervert God's creation - same as with the Nephilim. God is a God of sense and order and dinosaurs largely don't. And, if He'd wanted them "saved", then Noah would have included them on the ark. <br /><br /><br />Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149296790997864919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923571518579487836.post-69819218532516471282020-05-22T09:10:04.604-05:002020-05-22T09:10:04.604-05:00Anonymous, in my opinion this passage from 2 Peter...Anonymous, in my opinion this passage from 2 Peter actually supports my position. I dont believe this is talking about Noahs flood, for this reason. Notice where it says "But the heavens and the earth which are now"...<br /><br />When Noahs flood happened the "heavens" were not affected by it. This is referring to the destruction of the original earth created in Genesis 1:1.<br /><br />We didnt end up with a new heaven and earth after Noahs flood.<br /><br />Pastor Rich, after thinking about the speed of light question ive concluded that it has been constant since Genesis 1:1. When God created everything he also established the laws of physics which the topic of light speed would be part of. No I dont believe that God "slowed down" the speed of light after creation. It never changed.<br /><br />I do agree with you on one thing, I also liked Boston, a great band. Its sad what happened to Brad Delp.<br /><br />I have a more in depth study prepared that explains my side of this in more detail if anyones interested. If not I wont bother.Pig witha wighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15264283460548669727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923571518579487836.post-22552476713765600202020-05-22T07:22:25.363-05:002020-05-22T07:22:25.363-05:00“Knowing this first, that there shall come in the ...“Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.” 2 Peter 3: 2-7(KJV)<br /><br />Note the "earth standing out of the water and in the water" part above. Also note the willful ignorance. Man's pride cannot be plumbed. The human heart is wicked to its festering core. Praise Jesus, He has provided us a way out of this mess.
