Evolutionary science has no answer for how life started, no answer for how it began replicating, no answers for how irreducibly complex systems developed, no answers for the development of symbiotic relationships between organisms or within ecosystems, no answers as to why life is not spontaneously developing in the environment it thrives in and reproduces in, and no explanation for the existence of the Christian church. The Bible has an explanation for all of it. Their faith in science is based on nothing, our faith in God is based on the historical fact, witnessed, of one rising from the dead. In the choice between their grasping at the wind and the ability of a sinner to grasp on to the hand of someone who beat death, I see no contest.SLWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04260137021205685080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8886567613905490071.post-53855607189509404422008-05-02T18:48:00.000-04:002008-05-02T18:48:00.000-04:00hi...i've been trying to convince my friends that ...hi...<BR/>i've been trying to convince my friends that Creation is real. they believe that Evolution is true because it is backed up by science, and that Creation has no proof but the bible (which, of course, they don't believe in either). i said that things in history back up the bible, and when they asked to name some, i mentioned the possible Noah's ark boat being found in Turkey, that n event mentioned in Isaiah 20 about King Sargon capture of Ashdod was recorded on the palace walls, among other things. They responded with things such as "Ancient trivia and old boats do not a compelling argument for the supernatural make"...."and nothing you have said proves that the bible is 100% true.", etc. <BR/>Do you think you can help me? i don't want to use too much reference from the Bible, because they obviously do not believe in the Bible. I really don't know how to respond to it so...help please?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8886567613905490071.post-56902315167297205662008-04-29T12:45:00.000-04:002008-04-29T12:45:00.000-04:00I agree with you that Obama is not a possible anti...I agree with you that Obama is not a possible antichrist. I think he has a role to play in turning the independant America over to the one world system after the rapture has occurred. That's just my personal musing and is not based on any evidence. It seems inconceivable as well that the Independant American mind set would ever yield to a one world system either. Although, if I understand your teaching on the subject and God's word, that should be an easy task so long as the American citizens are under the prophesied "Delusion" from God.Heanoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05619008585921849036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8886567613905490071.post-30439928376651950112008-04-29T08:54:00.000-04:002008-04-29T08:54:00.000-04:00heanous,How prescient!

Though I may or may not blog about that, it will certainly be upcoming in my preaching series.<BR/><BR/>As for the exact time of the signing of that covenant, it's hard to know, with certainty, whether or not that occurs just before, during, or just after the Rapture.<BR/><BR/>The implacable amimosity between Jew and Arab, or better yet Muslim, makes it likely that the Antichrist will be a nominal Muslim who secretly (probably) has abandoned the god of his fathers. That will not be Obama, incidentally, he's not from the right part of the world.SLWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04260137021205685080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8886567613905490071.post-68595216211780816062008-04-29T08:38:00.000-04:002008-04-29T08:38:00.000-04:00I have seen articles and been part of conversation...I have seen articles and been part of conversations enough to wager that Israel has the materials to rebuild the physical temple. Considering the hatred between the Jews and the Arabs it seems inconceivable that the Arabs would, in any circumstance, give up the Dome of the Rock in order for the Jewish Temple to be rebuilt. Is it likely that this is made possible by the false peace agreement brokered by anti-christ after the Gentiles have been removed?Heanoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05619008585921849036noreply@blogger.com
