Christians, Pollution, and Climate Change

Christians, Pollution, and Climate Change

climate change
Should Christians be concerned with pollution and climate change?

With soaring, record high global temperatures, floods, fires, droughts, melting ice, sea level rise, and other climate extremes and disruptions in the news every day, should Christians be concerned about pollution and climate change? Some Christians feel that they are definitely saved, and bound for heaven, and that God will destroy the earth with fire, wrongly interpreting “fire” in 2 Peter 3:7,10 literally.. Therefore, they feel no sense of responsibility to take care of the earth. Others feel so strongly about the climate change problem that they become climate activists, and protest about climate change in various ways, even going to extremes in some cases, even to the point of risking their lives for the climate. Is this how God wants us to think and act? While the Bible does not use the terms “climate change,” “pollution,” “global warming,” etc., we can gain insight into God’s thinking by examining various Bible statements and principles. read more

Who is the Antichrist According to the Bible?

Who is the Antichrist According to the Bible?

Who is the antichrist?In the past, much effort has been made to identify “The Antichrist” as being one prominent individual, such as Pompey, Nero, Mohammed, or the Papacy. Today, many preachers and denominations say there is going to appear on the world scene in the future, just before the end, a very charismatic world leader and deceiver that the Bible calls ‘THE ANTICHRIST.”  Such Biblical prognosticators even use scriptures from Daniel about the “little horn,” and Revelation about “a beast coming up out of the sea,” to “prove” their point. They have developed quite an elaborate story about what “The Antichrist” is “predicted” to do in the future. read more

The Israel of God – Restoration Prophecies

The Israel of God – Restoration Prophecies

Restoration
Restoration is through Jesus Christ, not modern fleshly Israel, but to the “Israel of God,” and would come first to Jews, then all others would be blessed.

“Certainly, it doesn’t matter a person is circumcised or not. Rather, what matters is being a new creation. Peace and mercy will come to rest on all those who conform to this principle. They are the Israel of God”—Galatians 6:15,16 GWT

What is, “the Israel of God”?

“I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile”—Romans 1:16 NIV

“A person is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical. No, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision  is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a person’s praise is not from other people, but from God”—Romans 2:28,29 NIV read more

Fossil Sheds Light on ‘Jurassic Park’ Dinosaurs

Fossil Sheds Light on ‘Jurassic Park’ Dinosaurs

“How countless are your works, Yahweh, all of them made so wisely! The earth is full of your creatures”—-Psalm 104:24 NJB

“Fossil sheds light on ‘Jurassic Park’ dinosaurs” is the title of an article published on May 2, 2017 by BBC News. The article shows how flimsy and precarious the entire theory of macroevolution (Darwinism) is. From a re-examination of one fossil, scientists have come up with a new species of dinosaur!

Then they admit “these animals were evolving much earlier than the fossil record previously has indicated.” That should be worded “much earlier than our theory indicated.” Actually, they say it’s “five million years” older. read more

“God created the great creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the water teems and that moves about in it, according to their kinds”—Genesis 1:21 NIV

“God will always be true even if no human being can be relied on“—Romans 3:4 NJB

“The wisdom of the world is folly to God. As the scripture says: He traps the wise in the snare of their own cunning”—1 Corinthians 3:19 NJB

BBC News published an article on April 27, 2017, entitled: “Why Fish Do Not Deserve Their Reputation for Forgetfulness.” As with so many other new discoveries, this one has forced evolutionists to revise their theories about fish. Let’s examine some quotes about fish from this article: read more

Does Modern Israel Fulfill Bible Prophecy?

Does Modern Israel Fulfill Bible Prophecy?

Modern Israel
Does modern Israel fulfill Bible prophecy?

Does modern day “physical Israel” (1 Corinthians 10:18 JNT) fulfill Bible prophecy? Many claim that it does. They often cite Old Testament prophecies of restoration of the promised land to Israel, asserting that modern Israel does fulfill Bible prophecy. Frequently, they cite verses that seem to indicate fleshly Israel would have this land forever, such as:

“They will live on the land I gave to Jacob my servant, the land where their ancestors lived; they shall live on it always”—Ezekiel 37:25 NAB read more

Did Native Americans Come From Asia or Israel?

Did Native Americans Come From Asia or Israel?

First people in the Americas
Where did native Americans come from? – Asia or Israel?

Where did Native Americans come from? Are they descended from the so-called “Ten Lost Tribes of Israel”, as some, most notably, the Mormons, claim?

“We are getting closer to understanding who the first Americans really were,” BBC News reported in an article published on March 30, 2017, entitled “The first people who populated the Americas.”

“They probably came on foot from Siberia across the Bering Land Bridge, which existed between Alaska and Eurasia from the end of the last Ice Age until about 10,000 years ago. The area is now submerged by water. read more

Is the Bible Reliable? — Bible Authenticity

Is the Bible Reliable? — Bible Authenticity

Is the Bible reliable?
Can the Bible be trusted?

Is the Bible reliable? Does it contain myths, or are the stories true? Did the writers simply write down stories they had heard from other people, or did they experience the things firsthand that they wrote about?

The Bible is not made up of cleverly devised fables or myths. “We did not follow cleverly devised myths when we known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 1:16 NAB).  Many of the Bible writers were actually eyewitnesses of their written accounts.  “But we had been eyewitnesses of his majesty” (2 Peter 1:16 NAB; see also 1 Peter 5:1) Eyewitnesses also handed down their accounts to others who carefully researched these things. (Luke 1:1-3) Still others studied and pondered. (Ecclesiastes 12:9-10) But none came from human will. (2 Peter 1:21) read more

Abortion – The Bible’s View

Abortion – The Bible’s View

The following Scriptures help us to have God’s view of abortion.

“You saw me before I was born” (Psalm 139:16 NLT) — God’s view of life during the very early stages after conception, is obviously that the unborn child is a person, by saying “You saw me”.

“At the sound of Mary’s greeting, Elizabeth’s child leaped within her” (Luke 1:41) — It does not say fetus leaped, it says the baby or child leaped. Unborn and newborn are referred to by the same Greek word. Therefore, God views the unborn as humans. read more
