Man coming from a monkey, that came from a dog, that came from a fish, that came from a germ, that came from a black hole, that came from a big bang, that came from nothingness... is a theory. (and thats what you have faith in)
Even the largest dinosaurs would have fit on the ark as babies, and yes, I think that reference to 'dragons' in ancient times was a direct reference to what we call dinosaurs today. I even believe that some still exist today.
Use science to your advantage.
The word "dinosaur" means "monstrous lizard" (Greek 'deinos' = monstrous + Greek 'sauros' = lizard)
Lizards are reptiles. Reptiles are cold-blooded. That means they depend solely on their environment. They can't regulate their body temperature and must depend on the heat from their environment for warmth. In cold weather, cold-blooded animals hibernate. Hibernation pretty much stops growth. In a warm environment, cold-blooded animals grow faster.
Before the flood, the environment was different. There was no rain. Even man lived longer lives. But after the flood, lifespans began to decrease. If the change in environment affected the lifespan of humans, warm-blooded creatures, then it also affected the lifespan of reptiles.
Another scientific point is that reptiles never stop growing. Now imagine the preflood world. Man lived hundreds of years, compared to the average of 70-90 years today. Reptiles were created just as humans were and if they naturally lived alongside humans, then they would have also lived as long. Imagine a reptile living 500+ years in ideal weather and remember the fact that reptiles never stop growing.
Noah would most likely have taken smaller reptiles on board the ark to save space. Immediately after the flood, these reptiles would have grown and lived fairly long lives, but as their offspring adapted to the environment, the lifespans would have decreased, along with their sizes. If any of the larger reptiles survived they also may have been killed by humans who saw them as a threat.
There's not much mention of the preflood world in the Bible, only that it was wicked. After the flood, there is mention of two beasts that could be dinosaurs, the Behemoth and Leviathan. As far as their demise, the leviathan were killed for food.
Psa 74:14 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, [and] gavest him [to be] meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
And if any continued to grow large, as I previously stated, they most likely would have been killed because they were seen as a threat.
This is the final nail as now anything goes in defining deviancy down and God will not be mocked...if he doesn't bring terrible judgment upon the heads of Americans then God owes Sodom and Gomorrah a huge apology..
I'm just very anxious to get outta here!! It's already the middle of November, I'm dealing with my annual bout of holiday depression, and wondering why God is delaying the pouring out of His wrath on this wicked, disgusting world that we live in. Maybe I'm just so impatient because I'm depressed, but it sure would be nice if we were airlifted tonight!!!!
Sorry, the evidence agrees with the flood. The fact that you ignore it and continue to make the claims that it doesn't, doesn't change a thing. As far as your next little temper tantrum, sure, I could make up stories just like you do. But I don't need to because God's recorded history works perfectly." "just because you say they [AnswersInGenesis and Kent Hovind] are discredited, means nothing. I can also get scientists to discredit your scientists [Nobel Prize winners from the National Academy of Sciences] and round and round we go. And it seems to me I have also been quoting non-Creation scientists. Oh, but you'll just insult them too and think that you've won. Whatever... Besides, I'll quote God and "trump" any man, group or organization you could ever come up with.
If science is not about proving theories or hypotheses, then why is so much money spent on research to try to prove these previously mentioned theories?? Millions of dollars are spent every year on particle accelerators and slowing down light and speeding up light etc.
I absolutely don't think the memories of those left behind will be wiped. A great delusion wouldn't be needed if that was the case.
An earthquake at the time of the rapture might serve as a delusion as the loss of millions could (falsely of course) be attributed to a natural event.
However, whatever the delusion, those left behind will experience, terror, horror, shock, despair, sorrow, anger, hatred and more, and that will just be the beginning. I mean, imagine if the rapture occurs during rush hour in North America?
• Cars, transports and buses, without drivers
• Airplanes, helicopters without pilots
• Trains, including subway, without engineers
• People literally vanishing from: work, from malls, from hospitals, out of nursing homes
• Entire daycares suddenly empty, school children disappearing in class or on their way to school
• Military personnel, policemen, firemen, medics, doctors, nurses – all gone – poof
No, there will be no memory loss. It will be pandemonium, and it will in all likelihood be the day the world stood still.
The THEORY of evolution was de-bunked in 1972 and the advent of atomic microscopes. Darwin himself said that is a simpole cel was not simple, had any moving parts, then he himself will claim his theory false.
... we need to keep in mind that the theory of Darwinian evolution was developed to specifically counter the central theological principle of Christianity.
Ever Notice how Hollywood and the ACLU wants to remove GOD and anything about GOD and Jesus Christ ....and the Bible and all morality from this world. This IS their agenda...because they believe there is no Christian God.
Here is the next question then. IF they DO NOT BELIEVE THAT GOD AND JESUS CHRIST EXISTS.......WHY are they cursing only HIS NAME in every film? I mean they actually have to go out of their way to have it written into the movie Script and direct the actors to say it!!!! They curse both God and Jesus....but never Mohammad.....never any other god or gods ......never ......just God and Jesus......the very God they say DOES NOT EXIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do they look a little bit foolish to you when they spend all this extra money to make sure those curses at God and Jesus (the God they don't believe exists) are in every film?
For the god of this age has blinded the minds of the unbelievers.
Tarvan starts a thread:
Facebook's Pride Button
So I'm really trying to avoid (boycott) companies I come across that glorify sin as something to be proud of. I recently added McDonalds to my 'do not go to' list for their gay fries and general support of sin.
Today I find that Facebook is celebrating pride month with a gay button and then I see my favorite baseball team (New York Mets) are having a gay day or pride day or whatever. I'm a pretty heavy user of facebook and a huge baseball fan. I'm really not sure what to do here. I guess I need to throw these idols down too. Ive already given up tv and movies and a large number of businesses already over this stuff. Looks like soon I'll just have to chill in the crib doing nothing but eating chickfila all day.
TRex2 knows our evil plan with fb and warns Tarvan:
You might want to try to find a different way, Facebook is becoming more and more anti-christian by the month. To the point that, soon they will be using AI software to track the activities of Christians, for the purpose of bringing persecution on them. They label evil as love, and anything to do with Christianity as hate, and their rhetoric of using these planned measures against "extremism" is a trojan horse. (Actually any time you hear something discussing extremism, you should see it as a trojan horse, but that is a different thread.)
(In response to PaigeWhitley' post about her son being attacked by demonic lizards every night)
I has been 33 years ago, but when I was saved at the age of 32, ALL HELL broke loose within 36 hours. I prayed to receive Jesus on a Sat. night, and was at the church door the next morning, and made it public. The next day when I got up, I literally saw black, transparent human-like figures coming down the stairs to where I was in the living room, TRYING to read my bible. I was about as scared as I have ever been in my life, since I innately knew these were EVIL. I had no idea what to do, and ran out of my house. After several days, and thinking I was going crazy, my brother-in-law who was a new Christian, told me what was happening. He said Satan was SO mad because I didn't belong to him anymore, that he was having a demonic SNIT, and trying to get me to believe it wasn't real. He also told me to confront him and tell him NOTHING he could do could take my salvation away, and for him to HIT THE ROAD "in Jesus' name". I had to do that a ga-zillion times for the next week or so, but things finally stopped. But that fear did cause my baptism to be somewhat anti-climactic , as I was still in the throws of utter fear that night.
I will pray HARD for your son right now, and that Jesus will send him angelic protection to guard him from Satan and his "posse". Tell your son to command the demons (lizards, etc.) to leave in Jesus' name, and that he knows they MUST obey Jesus. I promise to pray for your son for the next week before bedtime for Jesus' protection.
Please re-post and let us know how he is doing. I SO feel for him - just the most scary thing in the world.
Hi Sydney Spider, I just wanted to comment your post that when I read it questioning, "Why are we still here?" I had this searing thought go through my mind that God waited for Sodom and Gomorrah to become almost completely evil, the same with the entire Earth in the days of Noah. With S&G look how few were saved maybe less than 1% (a completely made up number by me), it just shows how patient God is before He acts.
Jesus also commented how few will get to Heaven. So if 99+% were evil I'm wondering (out loud as it may be) if that is what it is going to be here before the Rapture? I'm wondering if a good indicator of the Rapture would be how many governments allow homosexual marriage? Poking around on the net it definitely is a growing trend, so will all countries allow it in some form or another before the Rapture - I'm betting there is a good chance of it. Just my $.02

Went to wedding in Ohio. We stayed in a La Quinta outside of Cincinnati and drove over the border into Kentucky 2 days in a row. First day we went to The Ark. Second day to the Creation Museum. I was so shocked. I had really not heard anything about these 2 places. They were AWESOME. At Creation Museum attended a 1 hour talk by Ken Ham entitled "How to take the Gospel to our Secularized Culture" and then was in the audience for the 1/2 hour programme of "Answers News". These 2 events are included in the price of admission. I was so shocked because my husband works at a large church and we have never heard about these places. I have tried for years to get my husband to pay attention to the awful teaching/preaching of very popular pastors/teachers and he has refused to listen. Oh, my goodness. Ken Ham in the 1 hour talk showed 5 videos of Andy Stanley saying just really unbiblical stuff. Kevin was really shocked. I said to him afterwards "Do you see why I try to show you all this stuff?" and he said yes. He asked me to find these video clips on Andy Stanley and I did on Ken Ham's website and sent them to him. He is going to review these with 2 pastors at our church. I finally feel like I have had a breakthrough getting my husband to understand what is going on.
Of note at the Creation museum....they have an exhibit on what happened at Mt. St. Helen's. Eleven years after it blew they did Potassium Argon dating of the lava spills and the results said that the event happened about 250,000 years ago!!!!!!!!!!!! Not the 11 years actual interval.
The Ark answered so many questions and shows that what Genesis describes can actually be built. So, much for children and young adults to learn. Ken Ham said that the day we were at the Ark a boy was saved after watching one of the two movies they have.
I wish I could drag my whole extended family there. Go there everyone and take as many family members as you can!!!!
Oh, and the reason I say "Run" is that Ken Ham says the LGBT etc. faction is trying to shut down both sites. So there is no guarantee that they will be there say in 3 years.
[On the Supreme Court ruling in favor of same sex marriage.]
and the war on us christians has started
next the churches and prayer ministries will be targeted for believing in the bible
this isn't about tolerance for the LGBT movement, it is about censoring Christians
I too am soooo excited!! I get goose bumps, literally, when I watch what's going on in the M.E.!! And Watcherboy, you were so right when saying it was quite a day yesterday, in the world news, and I add in local news here in the Boston area!! Tunnel ceiling collapsed on a car and killed a woman of faith, and we had the most terrifying storms I have ever seen here!! But, yes, Ohappyday, like in your screen name , it is most indeed a time to be happy and excited, right there with ya!!

baby animals wouldn't take up as much space.

We call it local anesthesia.
I've noticed some of you have said a clone wouldn't have a human soul, or even really be human for that matter. I have to agree. We can try and copy human life all we want, but even if we were able to pull it off, I don't believe there would be a soul. The soul comes from God and God only. That's something I'm sure we could NEVER duplicate. These clones would be nothing more than empty shells, like robots. There would be no human soul, but I believe with no human soul these shells could very well be prime pickings for demon posession.
The Bible says that whoever puts mother or father or children BEFORE Christ is not worthy of Christ!!!
Jesus is supposed to come FIRST in our lives, even before family!
Have these people even READ the Bible. Sheesh. Peopl are so freakin' stupid!
He [a protestor wearing a mask and holding a "Gay: Got AIDSYet?" sign] is probably someone on the gay agenda posing as a Christian so they can have it posted on chat boards to discredit Chistians.
[Commenting on a play titled "Menopause the Musical"]
I would just like to say that I have about had it with people talking about this kind of thing in public. How did the Hebrews handle the monthly thing? They had the women go off by themselves and just deal with it. They did not have television commercials featuring blue liquid, red dots, and so forth, they didn't talk about "hot flashes," nor did they compose "Menopause the Musical" and make the men watch. If it was meant to be a public thing, women wouldn't have been built the way they are. Think about it.
I have never claimed God was proveable. But neither is evolution. If it is, grab yourself a monkey and evolve me a man.
Great video!!! Shows the Earth manufacturing an oil we can use, which constantly replenishes itself, and since large quantities of oil on Saturn's moon Titan proves that dinasaurs are the only way oil is created. Thereby, giving a shot against evolution BIG TIME!!!
I can't help wondering if these base closings might one day be used to keep all the unwilling people that don't take the mark. I mean they have to have some way of keeping tabs. Reminds me of future prison camps. Maybe I read to much.
IN HIM
By definition we are born sinners, so even if in a coma and not thinking or doing anything, we are still sinning technically just sitting there.
Over five years ago the Lord told me He would bring me to the one He created me for - he moved me thousands of miles and supernaturally provided a wedding gown and even a trousseau. When you're lonely you're also extrememely vulnerable, so I've left it entirely up to Him to bring us together.
[Note: She is still single]
I didn’t say I don’t accept any other beliefs, it's not a matter of "believing differently" it it's when one believes there is NO God PERIOD, that is the issue here., I do accept other beliefs that believe in a God, and do respect their right to BELIEVE in a god, at least they follow their God given intuition, (although it may not be the one true God, but that’s a different issue)
But for atheist who do not believe in a god, they are not only pathetic but also foolish IMO, simply because of their ignorance. And it's hard for me to accept their ignorance.
How is it we can be so “wrong” on this board?
I really would like to be right. Let me explain.
I have to admit, even though I don’t want to, that I was rather shocked that the swearing in of Obama went off without a hitch. Why didn’t something happen? Should it have? We as people on this board seem to think and know what should or maybe should be taking place anytime now. Why didn’t Russia decide to make a move on the US? Why didn’t Israel bomb Iran? Why didn’t someone try to take out Obama yesterday? Is Obama the Antichrist? Is Obama really taking this country down the tubes? Etc… On and on in the back of my mind (sometimes in the front as well) I’ve waited and waited for these things to happen, something to actually happen as it came to pass, if not all of them, at least one thing, just one, is that too much to ask?
[On the reliability of spectrographic analysis indicating the sun is composed of hydrogen/helium]
Well guess what. When NASA tells me they went to the Sun, I'll still deny them. I highly doubt they have the capability.
This may not be relevant to this thread,but I believe I can prove there is no life outside this world.If there was intellegent life out there somewhere,it along w/the rest of our universe was and is subject to the effects of sin.Another words the effects of sin are not confined to this planet.The residents of another alien world would certainly be affected by sin and I,m sure satan would be there as well as here tripping up that alien race.If they are not advanced enough to hear the Word of God thru the radio waves,there would be no way of salvation for them, that I don,t believe God would permit. Does anyone out there have a better bible theory on the issue of intelligent life outside this planet?
[On evolution]... you are making guesses based on what you are observing billions of years after the fact which is hardly reliable (try to convict a person of a crime with evidence a billion years old. No judge would convict), while I have the eyewitness account of the one who was there, did it, and is incapable of not telling the truth about it. You may not accept that, but it doesn't change the truth of it." "You're right, the truth is the truth. You cannot change my view that 2+2=4, that water is wet, that I love my child, that heat rises, and that God told us the truth. Truth is truth reguardless of how badly you want to convince me its not. Again, science is the search for test results, I dont care about test results, I want the truth.
"Can't the seismic and volcanic activity be from hell enlarging itself?
As we are nearing the end, hell is getting to the point of reaching the crust of the earth to where at the 5th trumpet, the abyss is opened up."
Do an experiment. Put four things in front of your child; say a piece of fruit, a flower, a clam or shrimp, and something else, say your pet. And ask how all of them could have come about by accident. Which is what evolution basically says.
I see nothing wrong with science when it does not contradict the Bible, but when it does, then I do have a problem and know that there is an error somewhere, whether by error or as to deceive. The Bible is old...but it is still true and infallible, science is not.
Where DON'T I leave tracts? LOL, I leave them everywhere. I keep a supply in my car and everytime I get outta the car, I stuff a few in my pockets to leave around.
ANYWHERE is game!! I've put them inside library books...phone booths...benches at the mall...rest rooms...even lay one on top of the gas pump thingie while I'm gassing up. Everytime I grocery shop, I leave a few in carts, LOL, or even on the store shelves. image
The possibilities are simply ENDLESS!!!
And you do NOT have to buy them! Go to fellowshiptractleague.com and they will give you tracts for free. There are many to choose from. I always select the one entitled, "The Second Coming" myself.
Good luck!
Don't even get me started on "Evil Pollution" ( evolution ) I will be glad the day that word is gone from our vocabularies! They state DNA replicates itself exactly everytime ( and it does, except for problems due to age or enviroment and then the cell dies due to deforming ) I have yet to figure out how these cells talk to the living things they are in so as to change perfectly to accomodate the conditions, if you know what I mean. For example an area is becoming more desert and the creature that is there needs more food storage due to lack of any. I guess the DNA talk to each other and it goes like this " hey GCAT!, yeah what? We need a food storage! Okay I tell you what I'll do I'll change the 5th ladder in the 12th gene so your body will have a storage area! Wow, great! Thanks! Yeah Evil Pollution is soooooo ridiculous the DNA will replicate no matter what for ever and a day and it has no way of knowing if thier is changes in itself and what the outcome would be of those changes. IT IS SOOOO BLASPHEMOUS TO SAY ANYTHING EVOLVED FROM NOTHING. JUST THE DNA AND RNA SHOW THEY HAD TO HAVE A CREATOR TO BE SOOO COMPLEX AS THEY ARE TO CONTINUE THE PROPAGATION OF THE SPECIES JUST LIKE THE CREATOR CREATED THEM AS FROM THE BEGINNING.
My question is this [...] where did gravity come from? Explain that! I pray for this man's soul, that he would come to know the only Living, True God. The God that has the power not only to take his breath away, but to judge him fairly and righteously to hell if he does not repent. The same God who has the power to heal his paralyzed body. Hawking's science cannot do that.
You sank to a "level of utter simplicity" when you subscribed to atheism. It doesn't get more cop out then that. I disagree with God, so I will just believe in nothing. I am not the wrong one here. You are. I feel sorry for you. How does it feel to be sold out to satan?
[How to save someone from Hinduism]
Take her straight to one of those counter-cult rescue organizations and have her "deprogrammed"!!!"
"It caused me to remember when I was a young Catholic girl dating a Mormon boy and I was confronted with heavy pressure to convert to Mormonism. It was my Catholic upbringing that caused me to fall out of the chair laughing at the Mormon elders when they began presenting me with outlandish tales of Jesus, and angels bringing old Joseph Smith 'another gospel.'
Of all the Satan-derived religions, athiesm is the one that gets in my craw the most. Them people are always after "logic" or some other proof that the LORD exists and is involved in our lives in some meaningful way.
Fact is, the only "proof" we have for God is that we each have some ability to sense him. We've all been told from birth that there is some type of God - the muslim have their moon god, the catholics have the queen of heaven, the hindu have that Shiva, etc.
Now we all know that these are false gods, but dang, at least it's a god and because people have beliefs that they've been told from birth just lets me know that it has to be the truth - that there is God. I just happen to know that Jesus is the right one.
Like someone said above, the martyrs didn't get killed over a LIE! They knew the truth and stayed with it because they knew Jesus was real. Even the Muslims today are killing themselves to be martyrs because they know there is a afterlife. They might be wrong about the afterlife, but they definately know that something is there - why would they be willing to die for it if it was all a fake?
But these atheist come around and just ruin all our proof and point out crazy stuff. Well, maybe we don't have "science" proof, but we all know the facts. Logic doesn't have nothing to do with faith.
I read an article today on the Rapture Ready website entitled "The State of Things" by Darinda Sherbert.
After reading it, I'm more convinced now more than ever, that all the vitriol, hatred for Christ and Christians, the national (and international) nose-dive into homosexuality and transgender issues (all of which seem to be getting the nod of approval through most of the population) is God letting the sin and depravity to flower in this country and in others, to be both a sign to those with eyes to see and ears to hear, that Christ returning for His church is extremely near and also to make the country/world truly RIPE for judgement.
This short article is also worth taking a look at: http://www.prophecydepotministries.n...nt-of-america/
I absolutely cannot see how the current state of things can go on much longer. I know you can't judge the whole world on what America is doing, but we're a very prominent country on this planet, and we set an awful example to the world with our current policies and practices. Then throw in the percarious nature of the situation Israel is in, with Iran working towards the bomb, and surrounded by enemies. It's got to be very close. We all here on Rapture Ready forums know that we're in the season for His return... but I just feel it in my bones that we're so close it's almost palpable.
Keep looking up!
And I've prayed to God that even though I don't know your real names on this website, I still want to meet each and every one of you when we reach our ultimate destination!
I've noticed one thing in atheists, especially the more hostile ones against Christianity....the reason they're so hostile toward us is because they know, deep inside, that they're wrong. Of course they won't admit that...instead, they usually get more hostile toward us....much in the same way that I believe that no atheist can have real, good morals...that one really ticks them off!
Could you tell me from Scripture where we are told to study any other religion? Just one verse will satisfy me... A little hint about studying and getting involved with other religions... If you enter a room where everyone has the 'flu bug you will become infected. If you dwell on the Quran...
The main thrust of the evolution theory has been stated in the past to have come from some sort of a "big bang" theory. If that is the case, why are many leading scientists in this field now disassociating themselves with the "big bang" theory, saying that it is not only highly improbable but impossible. Many scientists now favor an "Intelligent Designer".
When I decided to homeschool my six year old son, I told him we were going to do "Dinosaur Week". Which turned into "Dinosaur Month". . . at the least! We watched "Walking With Dinosaurs" and a lot of other documentaries. He's a pretty smart kid, too, so even he ended up saying "Ok. Scientists say that God isn't real. They say earth is a kajillion years old. They say that people and dinosaurs weren't alive at the same time and that a lot of dinosaurs could have died from a big flood, but that The Flood didn't happen. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?!". He gets really upset about people not believing in God - as in he doesn't want them going to hell and he can't believe people can ignore God all around us. Every time we watch one of those dinosaur things, he gives a big, overly-dramatic sigh whenever they start talking about "millions of years" or evolution.
One that really cracked him up was where they theorize about reptiles evolving into humanoid creatures. Good grief! And they teach most of this stuff as FACT in schools!!!! I can't believe it. Neither can a six year old. So WHY is it so accepted?!!?
I teach him what makes SENSE. NOT what science textbooks say. I also teach my kids to question what they are taught - especially what they learn in school. It's really not fun at all having a bunch of junior scientists in the house when 99% of science seems to be atheistic.
yesterday my 8 year old dd said that she wished she would die - I was shocked, scared, concerned, etc. and asked her why she wanted to die.
She said that if she died she would wake up in Heaven and not have to wait for the Rapture. She said she is so excited for Jesus to come back that she just wants to fall asleep and then wake up and He is here.
One the one hand, I am happy she is so anxious for the Rapture and to see Jesus, but on the other, how do I deal with the death issue?
I stick to my stated goal: to prove using only the Bible that the Sun is not a star. Can you answer the question I posed to m1a1 in my reply above about Matthew 24:29? What about the creation story where it says God created the Sun, then 'he made the stars also'?
A simple reading of the two texts (Bible and heathen koran) shows that the very nature and way that God interacts with mankind is fundamentally different.
YHWH in the Bible is consistent, firm, and holy. His dealings with mankind are always consistent with who He reveals Himself to be. The "god" of the koran is deceitful, temperamental, prone to changing his mind, petty, while at the same time entirely disinterested in everyone on Earth. Allah changes his mind constantly, often at the whim of his so called "seal of the prophets". It's a very bizarre and strange change in personality, if one believes you go from the Bible to the koran as God's revealed Word.
Basically, the God of the Bible's morals are consistent, perfect, and holy. The god of the koran's morals seem to be no better than a 6th Century desert dweller.
Islam is nothing more than an attempt by Satan to replace Christianity and YHWH. Satan tried to wipe out Christians through the Roman Empire and barbarians for 600 years and badly lost that battle. When it was clear that persecution only swelled the numbers (and eventually lost the Roman Empire), Satan devised a new monotheistic religion to replace it. He then copied that template 1200 years later with Joseph Smith when he revealed Mormonism to him. Mormonism is a more palatable, fine-tuning of Islam, in my opinion, without the bothersome, contradictory revelations required to keep Mohammed legitimate in the eyes of his followers.
God bless.
