Strata Testifies of God, Mutation against Evolution
Second email reply I sent my friends after I sent them some links about dinosaur tissue finds: (read the first reply here) Sorry it took me so long to reply, but I’m been working and reading more about creation, evolution, and fossilization. And sorry that the reply is so long, hopefully you have time to read it all. 🙂 That’s where we disagree; I think it not logical to live a life without a purpose. Everything has a purpose. Cars take us places, computers automate things for us, and buildings shelter us from the elements. Trees give out oxygen, the sun provides light and energy, oxygen keeps us alive. What…

Using Science to Find God
Here is the first in a series of email replies I sent my friends after I sent them some links about dinosaur tissue finds: I know how science works. I also know the difference between conjectures, hypothesis, and theories and the how you get from one to the other. I also learned from the same school as you that it takes a lot of different kinds of repeatable tests to prove a theory and only one repeatable contradictory test to disprove one. Now, I’m not saying that the soft tissue issue is the one contradictory evidence against evolution or the old age of Earth. I included non-creationist article of the…

Hell – Why is it taught in the Bible?
Hell is not a threat, it really depend on how you look at it. To me, it’s more of a warning. He knows what is good for us and what is bad for us, so He is letting us know that the way of man leads to death. But if we just listen to Him and His warnings, and trust in Him, we can have life. We are not going to know everything; His knowledge is infinitely larger than ours. Just like a parent is way more knowledgeable than his 5 year old. If the 5 year old is playing with matches near some gasoline, the dad is going to…

Asking for Forgiveness
Here’s my take on it. “He saved us” (Titus 3:5) and “forgiven us all trespasses” (Colossians 2:13). It is in the past tense, Jesus said, “It is finished!” (John 19:30), so it is done and over unless you want to call Him a liar. So, not only are past sins forgiven, present and future sin as well, we don’t have to do anything else, any more work, and He doesn’t have to die again for us to be really saved. We can’t do anything anyway, because it is “not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us.” (Titus 3:5) Why then does…

Missionaries
What is a missionary? And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.” (Mark 16:15) Jesus commanded His disciples to go and tell the whole world of the great news of His resurrection, that is why christians go to remote parts of the world to spread the word. Some of us do not feel called to go to other countries, fortunately, there a need for mission work wherever you are, in your very home town. For me, I am hoping this blog will serve that purpose in the cyber world. Some people ask, “Why do you christians always try to convert people…

The heavens declare the glory of God!
Psalm 19 1 The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork. 2 Day unto day utters speech, And night unto night reveals knowledge. 3 There is no speech nor language Where their voice is not heard. 4 Their line has gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world. In the beginning God Created the heavens and the earth. (Genesis 1) He created it marvelously, the universe is enormously large with trillions and trillions of stars in it. What is even more marvelous is He created the earth with an atmosphere where we can see through to all these…

Born Again
Why do I call myself a born again Christian? Because my new life in Christ is completely different from how I used to live. Before I accepted Jesus in my life, I used to live just for myself and my wants. I drove a red Mustang Cobra convertible as a status symbol, I would go to Las Vegas and spend hundreds on gambling, drinking, and strip clubs. You know, the things that are addictive, sinful, and immoral, the things that satisfy you in the moment but then makes you feel horrible the next days/weeks/months. One thing I am definitely glad I’m rid of was my road rage. If someone tailgated…
