When did the last days start?

Some say “the last days” began some time in the twentieth century, and others say they started sometime in the twenty-first century. When did “the last days” start? What does the Bible say? “The last days” started with Christ’s first coming. How do we know this?

SCRIPTURAL EVIDENCE

Acts 2:14-17 – “Peter . . . addressed the crowd . . .  ‘let me explain this to you . . . this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel: “In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people”‘” (NIV). Peter said the last days had begun then, fifty days after Christ’s execution, and quoted Joel’s prophecy to prove it. read more

DNA Lets Sharks Take a Bite Out of Cancer–Evolution or Creation?

DNA Lets Sharks Take a Bite Out of Cancer–Evolution or Creation?

Researchers are finding clues to cancer in shark genes.

Are humans really higher on the “evolutionary chain” than sharks? USA Today published an article on January 30, 2017 entitled: “Could sharks be the key to solving human cancer?”

A new study of shark DNA shows that unique evolutionary changes in immunity genes may explain how sharks’ open wounds heal so fast and why the ocean’s top predator rarely gets cancer.

But, scientist warn, simply eating shark meat or other parts won’t help humans battle cancer. In fact, eating sharks could be detrimental to human health because of high levels of mercury found in these “apex predators.” read more

Greece displays ‘7,000-year-old archaeological enigma’

Greece displays ‘7,000-year-old archaeological enigma’

“The figure was carved from granite in an era when there were no metal tools available”

BBC News posted an article on February 14, 2017 entitled: “Greece displays ‘7,000-year-old archaeological enigma.'” The article says the carved object is “7,000 years old, prior to the time that humans had developed metal tools”. Scientists have postulated that it took thousands of years of human evolution for humans to begin working with tools.

Too bad they ignore the Bible, because, instead it taking “thousands of years of human evolution for humans to begin working with tools,”  the Bible accurately reports that within the first eight generations of human existence, which was at least 5,000 years ago (or, at least 6,000 years ago according to the ages listed in the Septuagint in Genesis 5 & 11),  humans had developed metal tools. (Genesis 4:1; Genesis 4:17-22 NJB) Tubal-cain, the Bible reports, “was the ancestor of all who work copper and iron.” This would demystify scientists’ “enigma.” read more

“How Can the Universe Expand If There Is No Extra Space?”

On February 13, 2017, BBC published an article entitled “How the Universe can expand if there is no extra space.”

The 2017 BBC Earth article asserted that the universe is not expanding into an external void. Instead, it explained that the “fabric” of space itself is stretching, meaning there is no outside edge or extra space for the universe to grow into.]

DO WE REALLY UNDERSTAND THE UNIVERSE?

As God asked Job 3,500 years ago: “Have you grasped the celestial laws?” (Job 38:33 NJB)

We know much more today than Job did then, but our answer would also be: “not really.”

However, the Bible does enlighten us far beyond science, although we appreciate good science.

Can God the Father Be the Only Almighty?

Can God the Father Be the Only Almighty?

Is it possible that God the Father is the only one who is Almighty, and his Son, Jesus Christ and the holy Spirit are not Almighty?

“The Father is Almighty, the Son Almighty, and the Holy Spirit Almighty. And yet there are not three Almighties, but one Almighty”—Athanasian Creed

The Trinity doctrine asserts that the three Trinitarian beings “are co-equal and co-eternal.” Let’s examine what the Bible says about Almighty God.

ALMIGHTY GOD IS THE FATHER

“If I am indeed father, where is the honor due to me? says Yahweh Sabaoth” (Malachi 1:6 NJB). “Do we not all have one Father? Has not one God created us?” (Malachi 2:10 NASB). The “one God” is identified with “Yahweh”, the Father. These scriptures thus contradict the Trinity doctrine, which claims the one God is the Trinity – the Father, the Son, and the holy Spirit. God is identified as “one” [Hebrew “echad”], not three-in-one. “Echad” is the numeral “one.” It is not a compound unity. read more

Scientists find ‘oldest human ancestor’

Scientists find ‘oldest human ancestor’

How countless are Your works, Lord!
In wisdom You have made them all;
the earth is full of Your creatures.
Here is the sea, vast and wide,
teeming with creatures beyond number—
living things both large and small.
(Psalm 104:24-25)

On January 30, 2017, BBC News published an article entitled “Scientists find ‘oldest human ancestor,'” which suggests that humans evolved from other life forms.

Notice how many times conjectural words such as “thought to,” “probably,” “may,” “we think,” “suggests,” “conclude,” and “might” appear in this short article. read more

From relief to regret: Readers’ experiences of abortion

From relief to regret: Readers’ experiences of abortion

Comments 0 Comment

On January 30, 2017, BBC News published an article entitled “From relief to regret: Readers’ experiences of abortion.” The article can be found here: http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-38775641. Notice the high percentage of women who express regret and remorse over having had an abortion. Also, note the high percentage of those who view the unborn child as a human person, rather than a piece of tissue.

A basic sense of right and wrong is programmed into each human by God. “I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts” (Hebrews 8:10 NIV). This is more or less true to an extent even among those who are not Christians. Of course, it is also true that the “consciences [of many people] have been seared as with a hot iron” (1 Timothy 4:2 NIV) after people begin to violate them over time. read more

Is the Bible reliable?
What is the priesthood of the believer??

Do people have approach to God only through a clergy class, priests, church, an organization, a certain denomination, or is approach to God directly through Jesus Christ, and him alone? What is the priesthood of the believer?

The Bible is written so that anyone can read and understand it for themselves, but each person has a serious responsibility to use the Bible correctly, “accurately handling the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15 NASB).

The brain of an ant is the size of a pinhead

Ants have a navigation system that is more sophisticated than humans.

“Go to the ant, you lazy man! Observe its ways and become wise.” (Proverbs 6:6-8)

“Four things on earth are small, yet they are extremely wise: the ants are not a strong people, yet they store up their food in the summer.” (Proverbs 30:24-25)

A new article on the BBC News website published on January 19, 2017, entitled “Ants use Sun and memories to navigate” says:

Ants are even more impressive at navigating than we thought. read more

Does God love us unconditionally? What does the Bible say?

Does God love us unconditionally?  There is no doubt that God loves us, as John 3:16, says, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (NKJV). The principle expressed in John 3:16 means that God does love everyone, in a sense. In another sense, however, there are conditions relative to God’s love.

 “If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love”—John 15:10 NAB read more
