GENESIS PROVIDES US WITH A TRUE HISTORY OF THE WORLD

Posted on by

The video IS GENESIS HISTORY features over a dozen scientists and scholars explaining how science intersects with the history recorded in Genesis. From rock layers to fossils, from lions to stars, from the Bible to artifacts, this fascinating film will change the way you see the world. The film’s goal is to provide a reasonable case for Creation in six normal days, a real Adam and Eve, an actual fall, a global flood, and the tower of Babel. Dr. Del Tackett, creator of 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘛𝘳𝘶𝘵𝘩 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘫𝘦𝘤𝘵, serves as your guide—hiking through canyons, climbing up mountains, and diving below the sea—in an exploration of two competing views…one compelling truth.

We all need to be equipped with good resources to bring our unrepentant family and friends to a knowledge of God and His redemptive plan for mankind. This video is an excellent tool. As well, go to http://www.answersingenesis.org and http://www.creation.com.

Martyn Isles (formerly of A.C.L) is now CEO of Answers in Genesis. He and Ken Ham (Founder) are in Australia at present. I attended their first meeting (Living in Babylon) in Adelaide at the Convention Centre. It was a sold-out event. The Perth event was last night but they still have Brisbane and Melbourne to go. Sadly, they could not get the numbers for Sydney. You can connect online, by going to http://www.answersingenesis.org.

THE MEANING OF ANYTHING DEPENDS UPON ITS ORIGINS

Posted on by

The ORIGIN of anything can only be from one of two sources: GOD or MAN. From our CREATOR or from the CREATED. You need to get that right or you can expect chaos.

To believe that this world with all of its complexity and finite laws could come into existence by random chance is foolishness in its extreme and yet our prestigious universities promote it as science. Science according to them cannot countenance the supernatural, despite the fact that all of the Cosmos evidence screams intelligent design.

God’s Word, Genesis 1–11, tells us the origin of all the basic entities of life and the universe. And the meaning of anything is dependent on its origin.

Take any topic. For instance:

  • Abortion. We need to start with Genesis and the information found there. God created life, and humans were made in God’s image. Humans are not to murder other humans. This is the foundation to begin to deal with abortion.
  • Marriage. God created the first marriage when he created the first man and woman, as related in Genesis 1 and 2. “He answered, “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’?” Matthew 19:4–5
  • Fossils. In Genesis 6–9, we are told about the catastrophic global flood. This would have caused massive fossil formation all over the earth including fossil fuels from buried vegetation.
  • Age of the Earth. We start at the beginning of history in Genesis 1:1, where God began to create the space-mass-time universe. He tells us He created all things in six days and why: man is to work six days and have one rest day. It was the pattern for mankind. The first man, Adam, was made on day six. We are told when Adam had a son and when that son had a son and so on. The Bible gives us the history so we can add up the dates and determine when the universe and life came into existence.
  • The Fall. We learn that because of the rebellion of Adam and Eve, God cursed the initial perfect World. Man’s rebellion against God is the reason we have death, pain, suffering, and evil in this world.
  • Nations. God confused the language, he had given Adam and Eve, at the Tower of Babel and created many languages to force people to populate all of the earth. God created the nations and He created one nation, Israel, to represent Him. Sadly, as prophesied in God’s Word, they would not do as God commanded and He scattered them all over the Earth. However, this is extremely important, God also prophesied that He would re-gather them back to the land He gave them and that Jesus Christ would return to Earth and rule and reign the nations from Israel. Israel was miraculously re-established as a nation in 1948 so the first major sign of Jesus’ second coming to Earth has taken place and many of the rest of the end times prophesied signs are playing out now as well.
  • Spiritual Warfare. We are told in Genesis that God created spiritual beings called Angels. Just as Adam and Eve rebelled against God we learn that one-third of the angels that God created rebelled against God due to the rebellion of the Prince of Angels, Lucifer now called Satan. His minions are now called demons. We are also told that a battle is raging over the hearts and minds of men and women. “Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” Ephesians 6:11-12

Genesis 1–11 is the foundation for everything! God’s Word, the Bible is largely prophecy. Fulfilled prophecies prove that God exists and His Bible is inerrant. God is in control of everything that happens in His Cosmos.

Praise God that He sent His Son, Jesus Christ to provide the way for mankind to get back into a right relationship with Him. Jesus died to pay the price for our redemption. If we repent of our rebellion/sin and are prepared to submit to Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour then we are restored to God’s family and our Heavenly Father sends the Holy Spirit to indwell our spirit to be our counselor, teacher, and comforter thus enabling us to live as a child of God, as a Christian. We have a good God but we must submit to His authority, and His commandments to be part of His family. That means dying to self and being prepared to say not my will but your will be done, Lord. Sadly, most of mankind, like Satan, wants to be the God of their own lives. God gave us free will so the choice is ours but we will suffer the consequences of our decision. All will stand before God on judgment day, for those that reject Jesus Christ will suffer punishment and second death. “But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.” Revelation 21:8

ARE YOU WRONG ABOUT GOD AND SCIENCE?

This is a great video by David Wood. He delves into the origins of Science involving Jordan Peterson but also by looking at the history of science. For example, did you know that major universities such as Oxford and Harvard grew out of monasteries.

The idea that the universe can be understood, and it is good we understand it, are religious ideas. How surprising is it that we can explore and understand the laws and design of the Cosmos we occupy? Is this likely in naturalism? Of course not. What about the intrinsic goodness of knowledge and science?

According to Jordan Peterson the Bible is the most influential book in the world, in all of history.
