God's Call. God's love. God's Salvation.

God shows us all the things that the wisest man ever did. King Solomon tried it all and made one lasting conclusion in his life, as you'll see when you read through to the end of what Solomon wrote in Ecclestiastes.

Then, in John, God shows us who our Creator, Lord, and Savior is, and how immense and eternal His love for us, as well as the great price He paid to redeem us, if we would simply turn to Him in repentance and faith.

Thirdly, in Romans, we are shown, by God, the depravity of humanity, the plan of how God wants to save us when we repent and trust His Savior, and then, how we can live in harmony with the Self-existent God of all Creation.

Come, join me. Learn to walk in God's eternal life, for we must choose it here, before we die. Godly Life starts now, not later. No one can do it for us and we get no second chance once this life is over. Neither can anyone buy or pray us out of the choice that we shall have made for ourselves and our eternal destiny.

Modern Business. Modern Government. Modern People. One God. One Eternal Decision and Destiny.

Proverbs 30:11-14
11 There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.12 There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.
13 There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up.
14 There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.

We all, everyone, everywhere, need to repent and turn unto the LORD, according to His Word and His ways.

Read the Bible's books of Genesis, Psalms, Isaiah, John, Romans, and Revelation to see why, for there is only one true God to whom we all shall answer. Come and see that we each choose our eternal destiny, so we cannot blame anyone or anything else if we end up in eternal damnation. There is only one life that God gives us to make this decision for ourselves.

Thanks and Contention November 2021

It is Thanksgiving Day 2021 in the USA, today. Yet, while many or most of our citizens rush to the table to share meals, there remains much confusion and contention across our nation. Today, as God's Bible has warned us for thousands of years, wrong is called right and right is called wrong in the lustful and selfish ways of wrongdoers. Our social, personal, and governmental ways often go astray from what God has told us He wants us to do.

Proverbs 29:27 says, "An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked."

The only way for us to truly get along with each other, the way we are told by God, is to do it God's way. Both, those who do wickedly and those who seek to do righteously have much for which to be thankful, for God provides all good things to us in His measure and His timing. Yet, He calls us all to more abundant lives, than we currently are living, whether we have negligently or zealously sought His truth or our own self-justification. 

I urge each reader to seek God's ways in His Word, the Bible. Start prayerfully with the books of John and Romans, asking the Author Himself to show you what He needs you to learn, that you may choose to come to Him in repentance and faith in the only Savior and only plan of salvation that God has ever ordained, that being in and through the Lord Jesus Christ, our Creator.

May you each have a blessed day of thanks unto Him for all His grace and mercies toward us. 

Ungodly Politics and Unholy Leadership

 This one Bible verse amazingly sums up all ungodly politics and unholy leadership.

Proverbs 26:28
A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin. 

This is why each and every one of us needs to turn to God's only plan of salvation.

This is why each and every one of us needs to turn to God's only Savior.

Don't Envy the Wicked or Rejoice When Your Enemies Fall

God warns us to neither be envious of the wicked nor that we should be happy when even our enemies stumble or fall.

Proverbs 24:17-20
17 Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:
18 Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.
19 Fret not thyself because of evil men, neither be thou envious at the wicked;
20 For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out.

Instead, we ourselves need to repent.

Luke 13:1-5
1 There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
2 And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?
3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
4 Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?
5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

Turn to God's ONLY Christ, and STOP choosing to send yourself to Hell.

Turn to God's ONLY salvation, and STOP choosing to suffer eternal damnation.

Blessings and Disasters Come To All People: Choose God's Ways Before It Is Too Late

Matthew 5:45
That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

Not only does God allow evil to test us all, but He also pours out His mercies on us all from day to day.

On top of that, we also bring evil things upon ourselves when we imagine such things and when we fail to walk in God's ways.

Proverbs 24:11-12
If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain; If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?

Furthermore, He tells us that, from the beginning of human history, we have corrupted ourselves by following our own hearts and imaginations, even as Cain, who killed his own brother, Abel.

Jeremiah 17:9
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

Genesis 6:5
And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

Seek God's only Savior. 

Seek God's only plan of salvation.

Luke 13:1-5
There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.  

God Knows Our Good and Bad Deeds, and Our Failures To Act Correctly

God is always aware and watching what we do, for, as the Bible says, "He never slumbers nor sleeps." 

Whether our deeds are good or evil, He holds every one of us accountable for all of it, including all that we think or imagine, and all the good things that we fail to do. If you read the Bible, God's Word, you shall know these things to be true.

Proverbs 24:11-12

11 If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain;
12 If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?

God says that He has provided only one perfect blood sacrifice to pay for all of our sin and that we must turn to Him in repentance and faith in His only Savior who shed that blood, died, and rose from the dead to show us the way of eternal life.

Please choose God's only Christ.

Please choose God's only way of salvation.

Your eternal destiny is in your own hands, whether you decide to choose God's gift of eternal life or reject it in favor of eternal suffering and damnation. 

I want to see you in eternal peace and joy with God's Savior.

As you read God's Word, ask Him to teach you what you need to know to walk with Him in His truth.

You can start, as I did, in Genesis 1.

You can also gain much wisdom from reading John and Romans.

The Only Way to Save Yourself: Stop Fighting Against the One and Only True God

 Proverbs 21:30

³⁰  There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD. 

There is and always has been only one true God. He says so in His Word, that all of us humans should come to Him in repentance and faith in His Messiah/Savior. He, alone, has prepared only one way for us to be redeemed from our sin, and that is through His Christ, Jesus of Nazereth, as God foretold for thousands of years.

You can try to deny these things. You can try to argue against these things, You can go to your grave making believe there is some other way than what God, our Creator, has said since the beginning. However, you shall face God's final judgment and shall see, then, that you were wrong to resist, neglect, and deny Him and His Word. In the end, by your refusal to seek God's way you shall have condemned yourself.

I beg and urge you, most strenuously, to read His Word for yourself and ask Him and His Spirit to teach you what He wants you to know about Him and His only plan of salvation. I never believed it until I read it for myself. 

For the sake of your eternal destiny, stop fighting against the only True God, for you alone decide whether you shall spend eternity in heaven with God and His Christ or in hell (isolated, suffering forever, and without further hope of relief or redemption). This life is our only opportunity to choose His way. Your choice, whether you repent and receive His salvation, or not, is what determines your eternal destiny. "Do no be deceived, God is not mocked...." This is not about who has the right religion, but whether we have believed God's Word. For, though you try to evade God's way, you shall give account for your decision and shall spend eternity in the estate that you shall have forced God to place you, based on whether you did it His way or your way. You must trust His Word, or you shall have rejected it.

Learn about His Savior.

Learn about His Salvation.

How Can I Be Forgiven of All My Sin?

 Proverbs 20:9

"Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?"

God says that none of us can do it for ourselves and that only One can cleanse us of our sin against God. 

This is that only One by whom God cleanses and forgives all sin.

Fools Follow Their Hearts

Jeremiah 17:9

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

Proverbs 18:2
A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself.

My friend, please don't follow your heart and by doing so make yourself into a fool. 

Seek God's answers to life through His only Savior and His only plan of salvation.

"Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people."

 Proverbs 14:34

Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.

Let us all therefore repent before it is too late for us or our Nation.

Major US Cities Clamoring For End To Violence

 Major US cities and many other communities are having a hard time containing their panic about violent crime in or near them. Why are we so surprised at the violence, when so many millions of people in this Nation have pushed God away and embraced so many things that He hates? We are NOT going to save ourselves from ourselves nor from our sin nature unless we do it God's way.

Proverbs 11:10-11
¹⁰  When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth: and when the wicked perish, there is shouting.
¹¹  By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.    

We MUST humble ourselves and ask for God's forgiveness for all of our personal and collective sin. We MUST do it God's way through the blood of His Christ by faith. Then and only then shall He hear us and heal us. Remember that if we attempt to add our own sin-stained works to His plan of salvation then He shall cast us off completely, for our sin-stained attempts mock the perfect life and self-sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ, Creator, and equal with the Almighty. He is the only one who came to call us out about our sin and at the same time He volunteered, in love, to take our punishment upon Himself, that we might have the opportunity to seek Him, accept Him, turn from our sin to Him, and receive Him by faith. This is not about eating or doing things, but getting outside of our normal worldly heads and hearts to look at Him in faith, "for without faith it is impossible to please Him".

Please turn from your sin, right now, and receive the singular salvation that the only Christ of God offers to you. Then and only then shall we begin to turn ourselves, our families, our towns, cities, and Nation back to wholesome living, instead of trying to legislate morality. Morality has to come from inside of us. All the laws in the world cannot do that. Laws only show us the things that are wrong and the things of which we are afraid, and then prescribe consequences.

Good human laws agree with God's Law. All else is unholy contrivance that God shall trash at His Final Judgment. Please trust God's Christ, today, for this world order is headed for the Lake of Fire, of which the Bible speaks. The Bible's books of John, Romans, and Revelation are loving but stern wake-up calls to every soul on Earth. Read them for they are God's warnings to us that we might choose life and not choose death. Choose God's ways for your life. Live forever in Christ.

Freedom, Crime, Punishment, and Unholy Choices

Popular modern news broadcasts from around the world, including from our own neighborhoods, States, and Nation, in the USA, are riddled with all manner of evil and malicious events. People, in general, based on their own frame of reference, clamor for law, order, decency, and security, but they also want their own freedoms, AND they do NOT want anyone messing with THEIR own ability to do anything they want to do when they want to do it. They want liberty, diversity, populism, perversion, handouts, and they don't want anyone telling their kids they're wrong when they misbehave. All the while they are ungrateful to God for all the blessings that He pours on them daily. They want everyone else to comply with their idea of politically correct things to do and not do, but they do NOT want any absolute standard by which to judge all things, for they want no one else judging them. Their feeling and convenience based social objectives have devolved a great portion of US society into a similar condition as the old Spartan State wherein it seemed as if almost everything was illegal, but, no one complained about individual responsibility as long as the citizens could figure out how to get away with their own proclivities, without getting caught and hauled into court. And, yet, our society is even more confused than that, legally and morally.

Today, huge portions of our society want to walk in self-worship and self-indulgence at their own convenience, to abuse and disenfranchise whomever they desire, to steal from one another with impunity (whether they are rich or poor), to murder unborn children while refusing to execute habitual or repeat criminals, and to pursue many other behaviors that are repugnant to God. Vile behaviors and the people who defend such evil are repugnant to God because such things violate His standards that are good for humanity. He wants people to godly standards, because godly standards are there to preserve and protect us from our own sin. Evil behaviors are, in truth, self-destructive of individuals and their communities. Those who know God agree with Him that all unholy behavior is and shall be forever condemned. Is there no hope for sinners?

Individuals, families, and segments of society that repent of their sin and choose godly living have rejected evil, but are usually looked upon, by evil-doers, as out of touch with modern society. Yet, God's Word says that even though evil things are now called good and good things are now called evil (by the society in which we live), yet, He shall set the record straight and none of those who have cast off His Word and salvation shall have any place in the holy pleasurable aspects of eternity with Him. On the contrary, all those who reject God's Word and salvation shall have their place in the lake of fire that burns forever. Those individuals and nations that reject God plan choose to damn themselves. 

God is in the business of seeking to redeem all who want to be redeemed, but people allow their sin nature, too often, to dominate and push away godly things. Sadly, most people love their sin more than they love God or His Word and His ways. In this, most people victimize themselves and try to blame almost anyone except themselves for their own bad choices.

Our only true hope, in this life or the next, is that God calls us to repentance and to faith in Himself, His Word, His Christ, and His only plan of salvation. He has already simplified all issues of faith and religion, IF we will but look to what He has said in His Word. It is people who love their sin who do NOT want God's simple ways, as they look for and complicate all things spiritual; they look for ways to circumvent what God has said. 

Turn from following those who reject or doubt God and His Word. He holds you responsible, so seek His truth in His Word, for He alone can show you the way of His only eternal redemption. He made that for you and wants you to receive it in faith on the terms that He created. That, alone, is our only hope for joy, peace, harmony, and comfort with God for all eternity. Please, let go of earthly things and choose God's ways.

Here is His only plan of salvation, the only hope for any of us.

Google Search Rats Out Fallacy of Carbon Neutrality

 Many people have no clue, beyond the buzzwords and pop-science, about what various carbon imprint jargon means both literally and practically. One of the favorite things that folks often toss around is "Carbon neutral", just like you can read on the bottom of the Google Search page online, where they claim that Google has been "Carbon neutral since 2007".

However, in order for anyone or any company to claim that they are carbon neutral, that means that they already overproduce carbon waste products. In order to achieve a negotiated level of Carbon neutrality, the overproducer of Carbon must purchase a balance of anti-carbon footprint credits from someone else. According to Bloomberg those credits can be falsified.

Check out this Google search of the carbon neutral topic. It is very interesting reading.

AA, OA, NA, and All the Anonymous Programs Know This Truth About Sin and Choice

 From having had decades of conversations with many people from various Anonymous Programs, I know that they know this basic truth of life, that one cannot escape the basic nature of one's being, though one can choose to act differently from one's self-destructive nature. AA, OA, NA, and all the rest know that no person can choose to live a constructive life based on wishful thinking, if one refuses to invest herself/himself in tangible action that is different from what one has been doing self-destructively. Feelings, history, politics, preferences, lust, predilections, peer pressure, and circumstances all have no bearing on changing one's behavior. Personal behavior change is a choice that only you or I can control. No one else, no religion, not even our oversized government, can change us, but we ourselves. Equally true, as someone once put it, the definition of insanity is to keep repeating the same unproductive or self-destructive behavior while expecting different results after each repetition of the same behavior.

I make this point because there is a lot of finger-pointing going on in our present world, and especially in the USA, whereby millions of people and many special interest groups are hell-bent on having their own way with society, but refusing to acknowledge eternal and historical truths that have been recorded and passed down to save us from having to repeat the mistakes of others, in the past. Some have insisted on tearing down statues or dumping books and rewriting histories to suit their own desires about what they want said. As long as any of us insist on letting any of our natural inclinations, unsavory history, our lusts, or our feelings drive how we get along in society, then was shall condemn ourselves to repeat the pain from which history and the recordings of our forebears would deliver us, including the Word of God, known as the Bible (I recommend the King James Bible). God is especially honest with us, more than any other historian, for God shows the strengths and weaknesses of even the most celebrated of those whom he put into positions of responsibility, down through the biblical record. By contrast, most of humanity wants to ignore the One Holy God but to worship sinful mankind and gloss over human failure.

I used to know, before he died, a very diligent man (a sinner like myself) who was challenged to prove the Bible wrong on any point he chose. Being an amateur historian, this man, Ron, collected all manner of histories, commentaries, Encyclopedia Britannica, science articles, and a host of sources by which he, as an ardent unbeliever and researcher, sought to disprove the Bible. Every time he read something he did not like in the Bible he'd research all available materials and sources to try to find flaws in God's Word. But, instead of supporting Ron's unbelief, all his research did was to tear down the lies on which he had been raised and turn Ron to agree with everything that the Bible says. That research project led Ron to trust the Bible and the Christ of God, Jesus, for the salvation that God offers to all humanity. IF we but lay our self-deceptions, false science, and false religion aside, and we examine and prove all things, by the voluminous evidence that God has left for us to acknowledge about His Deity, His Creation, our sin natures, and His only path of redemption, then we, like Ron, shall come to know, love, and trust God's Christ. Sadly, most people would rather follow the lies of the things, cultures, and religions that enslave them, rather than to be set free to see and do things God's way in Christ.

We shall all answer for how we each respond to the evidentiary call that God has put out there for us to examine and from which to deduce our conclusions about our need for a holy relationship with Him and His Christ. God is NOT going to excuse anyone for having rejected nor neglected His evidence, nor for ignoring nor despising His Christ. He says that we are "without excuse". So, I return to my initial premise that has undergirded the conflicts, savagery, cruelty, destruction, and selfish interest of mankind, that our sin nature must be dealt with by each and every soul, or else we shall suffer the consequences that God promises. "God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." However, the contrary nature of our sin wants only to seek self satisfaction (which never really happens), unless we choose to be satisfied God's way. Furthermore, unless we choose to repent of our sin and accept and receive  God's salvation in Christ Jesus, by faith, we shall have condemned ourselves to eternal solitary misery.

Please do the research of history and the Bible for yourself. Stop being lazy or relying on the popular lies about God and the Bible. God is going to hold you accountable for the choice you make about this. The choice is yours, so choose wisely, not based on culture, religion, peer pressure, religiosity, lust, greed, not by false science's religious mantra about faith in a big bang or evolution. I did all that, too, until I started reading and researching the truth of life's evidences and history and the Bible, for myself. Now, like Ron, I, too, am a Bible believer and have trusted Jesus Christ as my only hope and Savior. I now can see that I do not have to repeat the lusts, sins, and errors of prior generations. I do not have to live as a slave to my own flesh. With Christ living in me, "the hope of glory", I can live in joy and confidence each day, in God's only and very simple plan of salvation, no matter what happens in this life. You can, too.

Media, Blue Horizons' Launch, Life Forms In Space, and Killing Unborn Babies

 It is with great sorrow and concern for humanity that I listen to the pop media banter about Blue Horizon's successful launch and return of their human payload this morning. Not only is civilian incursion into space being discussed, but also a more energetic exploration for life forms in space. One commentator passingly touched on defining life forms. Humanity is drunk with self-defined success and dreams of what we can do and where we can go. 

By contrast, here is God's definition of success, a word that He only uses once in His written Word.

Joshua 1:8
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

We are increasingly pushing God away and seeking our own secular humanistic way of doing things, because we do not wish to be accountable to the Self-existent One who created us. We lust for freedom as long as it is for us and without responsibility. But, we need to acknowledge who made "all this".

Genesis 1:1
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 

Psalm 121:2

My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.

Yet, humanity is chasing its own philosophies and religions, including self-worship, while refusing to give credit to our Creator. Just as we reject God Almighty and choose our self-centered ways, humanity dreams and seeks arduously for life forms and intelligence in space, willing to call anything 'life' that titillates our fantacy and fancy. \

As we egregiously abhor and attack the very life that God gives to us here on Earth, we butcher tens of millions upon tens of millions of unborn babies right here in the USA, without even counting how many around the world. We refuse to acknowledge that God says life is sacred and begins with conception. 

Isaiah 49:5
⁵  And now, saith the LORD that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the LORD, and my God shall be my strength.

Jeremiah 1:5
⁵  Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

We deceive ourselves into allowing women to slay their unborn young, all for convenience and/or health of the mother, without regard for consequences, temporal or eternal. We don't want to believe that we are accountable to anyone for our murder of these children.

How is it that humanity has grown so selfish and cold that we are willing to call hints of space viruses or bacteria life, but we reject and murder the growing life inside a mother's womb? Those growing unborn babies are unique and distinct living entities separate from the mother's biology. The womb is separate from the child's umbilical system that interfaces with the mother, but the interlaced tendrils of the womb and placenta are still two separate systems, though they interchange nutrients, oxygen, and wastes. To say that a babe in the womb is part of the mother is like saying that an astronaut is part of a spaceship. Both examples contain pairs of distinct entities with distinctly different systems.

We call ourselves civilized, but we idolize self, money, convenience, lust, greed, fear, doubt,  adventure, and we collectively choose to try to exist without the one and only real God who made all of Creation. Our modern societies are no different from any pagan culture that ever did the same things. The old religions used to sacrifice their children to wood, stone, or metal idols. We do the very same thing, but claim that ideas and convenience are not idols. You be the judge of that, now, for God shall judge us all for it. 

Our technologies do not make us better people, for we commit the same sins that have always been committed since Adam and Eve. What our technologies do is make it easier for us to deceive ourselves about who we really are and what we are really like. We worship our technologies and allow ourselves to feel good about ourselves when we should be repenting of our sinful practices and our rebellion against God Almighty.

Here is the key to who the only true God really is.

Here is the key to God's only salvation for humanity.

Did They Die By Fire or By Flood?

I've been watching numerous YouTube videos about the ideas, hypotheses, and research of Dr. Mary Schweitzer regarding soft tissue evidence she's found in multiple dinosaur bones from different geological sites in different countries; also, Dr. Steve Austin's theories, research, and observations about cataclysmic events and geological change, deposition, erosion, and fossilization (his hypotheses being confirmed by the explosion of Mt. St. Helens and the aftermath thereof). 

For over a hundred years, popular Darwinian and geological gradualism (developed by Hutton and refined by Lyell) had posited that rock layers supposedly proved the age of the fossils contained in those rock layers, and conversely, that the fossils supposedly proved the age of the rocks containing the fossils. Those gradualistic rationales form a circular conundrum that flies in the face of geological and paleontological evidences, because the fossil-strata interrelationships, within respective geological columns, vary greatly from one location to another around the Earth, as if different masons were mixing cement with differing techniques on different parts of the same job site. The differences in the mixtures of various strata point to differences in rates of mixing and different proportions of water to dry material being combined. Austin speaks of that in particular with regard to mudslide consistency, deposition, and erosion, during and after the 20th century Mt. St. Helens catastrophe.

Besides evolutionary and gradualistic conflict with God's biblical record of history, some evolution-oriented researchers have come to recognize the conflicts within gradualistic paradigms and hypotheses. Those observant enough to notice such ideological and scientific conflicts have shifted their attention, hypotheses, and research to a more cataclysmic view of geological and paleontological events, to try to explain the disappearance of dinosaurs, the carving out of things like the Grand Canyon, the rapid growth of mountain ranges, and the worldwide flood of which the Bible speaks. Often their ideas are based more on what-ifs, doubts, and maybe, instead of sticking to observable scientific facts.

The extinction of dinosaurs is a popular topic in certain circles. A great cataclysm or series of cataclysms (such as asteroid bombardment of the Earth) have increasingly replaced the gradualistic paradigm as the cause of dinosaur extinction, but still most evolutionary-minded scientists still fight the idea of God's testimony of a worldwide flood. The great failure of the bombardment cataclysm hypothesis is that most popularized fossils that are trotted out for the public are not severely damaged fragments but whole or partial skeletal remains. On those fossils, there is no evidence of widespread explosive or fiery damage to the masses of fossils found. On the contrary, soft tissue within fossilized bones, as well as, fossilized imprints of delicate tissues of small creatures are not charred, nor deformed beyond recognition by external forces. Instead, the fossils are entrapped in sedentary rock that was once water-borne mud or sand, as evidenced by the fact that said fossils retain exquisite, easily recognizable detail with which even lay observers of the fossils might identify creatures of particular types of animals, insects, or fish, etc. This last fact of paleontological preservation strongly supports a rapid watery burial with sedimentary entrapment of the creatures, as opposed to asteroid-precipitated or fiery cataclysms that are so popularly cited in movies, nature shows, and museums, today.

Well-preserved delicate soft tissue and soft tissue within bony fossils of large, medium, and minute creatures are all found within sedimentary rock layers around the world. Worldwide watery burial agrees with God's biblical record, that many call Noah's Flood. There are hundreds of cultural flood stories that branched across the world. Those resulted from the dispersal of the descendants of Noah, his wife, their three sons and the sons' wives (eight people who multiplied into the different cultures, languages, and nations, out of the biological genetic diversity that was in Noah's family). Despite some detail differences among those cross-cultural flood stories, the commonality is that they all speak of a totally destructive worldwide flood from which a new start began. That basic commonality agrees with God's record of Noah's family's survival. God said that He would make a short work of this Creation, not billions or millions of years. Jesus said that the last days were already starting when He walked this Earth during His ministry leading up to His crucifixion and resurrection.

Those who reject the worldwide flood often reject God's Authority and His claim that He holds His Word in higher esteem than His Name. If we do not or cannot trust God's Word as He gave it to humanity to write down, then we have no hope of anything. That kind of hopeless existence is what Satan relies on to break the spirit of humanity and destroy our hope of a true relationship with God Almighty and God's Christ, despite God's promise that His Christ came to set us free from our burden of sin. If we follow Satan's spirit of doubt, and live by, "Yea, hath God said?", then we shall eternally suffer as Satan and his minions shall suffer in pain, loneliness, and darkness. That suffering is NOT what God wants for humanity. Therefore, Jesus came in a human body as sinless the Christ of God, to live sinlessly, to take our sin upon Himself, to shed His perfect blood and die in our place, then  to rise from the dead on the third day, exactly as He promised in both the Old and New Testaments. He did that to give us eternal life with Him, IF we are willing to humble ourselves, repent of our sin, call sin what God calls it, and receive by faith the risen Christ of God into our lives. He promises to save all who will do this and call upon Him. He promises to never leave nor forsake us, because we have stepped from unholy sin and darkness into God's light of redemption that only He can guarantee because He comes into us to dwell within, "...Christ in you, the hope of glory." That is not religion nor can religiosity acquire that for you, "...it is the gift of God, lest any man should boast."

God bless you to choose God's Word and God's Christ. Always test and prove all things in life by His Word. Don't try to mold God into your image or to manipulate Him to do what you wish he'd do to let you get away with your sin. He is not a toy nor a magic lantern to be rubbed at our whim. Jesus said, "Ye must be born again.", and that by the Holy Spirit of the Self-existent Eternal God of Creation, not by the works of the law nor the works of man. 

I pray that you turn away from your own ways and the ways of the world, and rather that you choose God and His ways to save you. Let Him live and work in your life. 

When We Bow To and Follow Our Idols, We Deny The One Real God

Psalm 115:1-8

1 Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake.
2 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God?
3 But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.
4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
5 They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:
6 They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:
7 They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.
8 They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.

From God's point of view, it is no small wonder that our cultures are in such chaos these days. We have mostly thrown God away and we are following false gods and idols, whether those are things, people, institutions, creatures, or ideas. When we seek, consult, and trust any of those, before we consult and depend on the Lord of Creation, the Self-existent One, God Almighty, then we are idolizing and uplifting those things and basically saying that we trust our idols more than we trust in the Eternal God who made all things, and made us in His image. Chasing fun, selfish interests, intellectual ideas, or philosophies has a damaging effect on our lives and our relationship with God, also. Whenever we seek Him secondarily, we denigrate Him and elevate above Him the very people or things that He or we have created. Medicine and so-called science are no different than any of the other things, persons, or constructs to which we too often bow our hearts, minds, spirits, and lives.

We all need to repent of many things and seek God, ...His Christ, ...His only way of salvation... AND, we need to do it His way.

Critical Race Theory Is Nothing More Than Cain Vs Abel

 Since the beginning of Human history, dictators, oppressors, the angry, the jealous, the self-absorbed, self-interested, and high-minded people have all sought ways to re-invent and elevate themselves artificially above the rest of humanity, especially in relation to those of whom they are jealous, or by whom they perceive themselves hurt or slighted. God hates jealousy for jealousy is not rooted in godly love nor in concern for our fellow humans. God despises our hatred of those around us. God despises rebelliousness.

God struck Moses sister with leprosy because his sister was griping about Moses marrying an Ethiopian woman. God struck rebels, whiners, and complainers with fire, illness, earthquakes, and serpent bites, and that was among His chosen people, Israel. He is no less concerned with the way the rest of us conduct ourselves toward Him and toward each other. If we learn nothing else from God's Word, we must learn that God affords us only one entitlement in life, the gift of being able to choose whether we will ourselves to accept and follow God and His ways, or to reject them. There is no greater decision that we shall ever face in life, and God lets us choose that. The consequences are eternally emancipating or eternally damning, for in our choice we determine our own eternal destiny.

Most people do not want to admit or look at the sin nature of their own flesh nor of their fellow Man, in order to judge righteous judgment. As many times as I have read God's Word, there are still times that I do not want to deal with my sin or my sin nature. THAT is why I must accept and trust God's only Savior. Most people try to avoid admitting or dealing with their sin and their sin nature. But, God does not overlook our sinful ways, as we strive to hatefully claw our way over each other. Those who despise God's self-sacrificing ways force themselves to look for superficial ways by which to try to distance their own personal sin from the sin of others against whom they rant or from whom they are segregating themselves morally, socially, politically, and spiritually. God's Word points out that all too often we say we love God, whom we have not seen, when we really hate our fellow humans whom we have seen. We make ourselves into liars when we make claims like that. God does not tolerate self-justification, for we are all without excuse when we sin.

All human beings are made in God's image and therefore no different from one another in most aspects of our lives. Yes, God gives each of us genetic differences and allows us to be born into different cultures and life conditions, within the framework of Humanity, but none of us are any better than any other person, to God. To God, none of us are racially inferior or superior to any other person. We can all interbreed and are answerable to God for whether we live up to or reject His Word and His standards of living. He says, "there is none righteous, no not one." And, He calls all of us to repentance and faith in Him and His plan of salvation. Racial superiority and inferiority are nonsense for God, alone, is our Creator, Master, Father, Judge, and Redeemer. The One whom He has appointed shall judge us by His Word, whether that judgment comes sooner or later. It shall be accomplished. God's promises cannot be broken, though Humanity desperately tries to find ways around what God says.

Who do we dare to think that we are, elevating ourselves above others? We are NOT God. Who do we think we are, as we denigrate others? We are NOT God. To God, our attempts to manipulate our perceived relative position in relation to other people is selfish and hateful, because we attempt to distance ourselves from the rest of humanity, whether or not they have wronged us. Why are we NOT as tolerant with others in the same way that we want God to be tolerant of us? Do we think God is blowing hot air when He commands us to love our neighbors as we love ourselves? If we eagerly want and seek "entitlements" should we not be equally eager to see all the rest of Humanity receiving "entitlements"? 

God's Word says, we have all sinned and come short of the glory of God. Yet, in His great love for us, He sent His only begotten Son to live the only sinless life, to then suffer, bleed to death, die, and rise from the dead to set us free, if we will simply choose to believe in and on His Savior. By those merciful things, God demonstrates His godly love, and for that purpose God created and calls all of humanity, NOT to the hatred and self-absorption in which most people wallow as they try to make sense of events and feelings in life. The only Gift from God to which all Humanity is entitled, if we shall will ourselves to accept and receive it, is God's Savior and the salvation that is in Him alone.

This is NOT a polemic against any particular group, but a call to all humanity to repent of our personal and collective sin before it is too late to repent. God only gives us this one life in which to choose or reject His Word, His ways, His Savior, and His salvation. He has offered us Himself and a home with Him. It is now up to each of us to decide what we want our lives to be based on and where we want to spend eternity. Our acceptance or rejection of God's promises determines our destiny. Those who feel powerful should be greatly humbled by God's offer. Those who feel powerless should be greatly emboldened by God's offer. 

Below are links with more biblical information about how you can move from a life of antipathy toward our fellow humans to a life of selfless service to God, our Creator and eternal King. God bless you to choose Him, His Word, and His ways.

Who is the one true God?

What is God's one plan of salvation?

Where can I find God's reliable eternal Word and promises?

Human Solutions Seem Good, But God's Are Better

Psalm 108:12

Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.

God allows us to pursue all manner of research and knowledge. But, are we really pursuing what pleases Him?

Joshua 1:8 defines what God means by success.

God only has one Savior for humanity.

God only has one plan of salvation.

God leaves the choice up to us, as He points out in John 3 and in Luke 16, whether we want to accept His ways or reject them. We only get one life in which to make this choice.

Call On the LORD God In Good Times and Bad Times: God Alone Keeps His Word

Psalm 12:1-8

1Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
3 The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:
4 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
5 For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.
6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
8 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.

Discover the LORD, the One True God.

Discover His only plan of salvation for every human being.

Luke 4

15And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all. 16And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read. 17And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, 18The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 19To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. 20And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.

Run-Away Rage or Imagination? God's Solution Gives Real Peace

Psalm 2:1-12
1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

Seek God's Son.

Seek God's salvation.

When The World Agrees With God's Word, We All Should Listen

Throughout history and in the lives of, even, the most ardent of true believers in God and His ways, yet, too often we forget to listen to all the godly counsel around us, because our prejudice or ignorant treatment of the source of that counsel. Let this Bible passage be a lesson that we all need to learn, that we weigh and prove all counsel by the rest of what God has instructed us, that we not end up hurt, dead, or undermining the work that God has planned for our lives. Let us not, by our neglect or prejudice, damage and grieve others around us.

2 Chronicles 35:20-24
²⁰ After all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple, Necho king of Egypt came up to fight against Carchemish by Euphrates: and Josiah went out against him. 

²¹  But he sent ambassadors to him, saying, What have I to do with thee, thou king of Judah? I come not against thee this day, but against the house wherewith I have war: for God commanded me to make haste: forbear thee from meddling with God, who is with me, that he destroy thee not. 

²²  Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself, that he might fight with him, and hearkened not unto the words of Necho from the mouth of God, and came to fight in the valley of Megiddo. 

²³  And the archers shot at king Josiah; and the king said to his servants, Have me away; for I am sore wounded. 

²⁴  His servants therefore took him out of that chariot, and put him in the second chariot that he had; and they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died, and was buried in one of the sepulchres of his fathers. And all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah. 

Let us heed, for God has declared His only Savior.

Let us heed, for God has declared His only plan of salvation.
