EVOLUTION – A LIE

Print Friendly and PDF
THE BIG BANG THEORY – A LIE
TEACHERS OF EVOLUTION, FALSE PROPHETS 

Those who teach it are liars, deceivers and false prophets


These false teachers do whatever they want, and they are so proud of themselves. They are not afraid even to say bad things against the glorious ones,”2 Peter 2:10b, ERV.

This is not a debate; it is a testimony. I am writing an essay that I should have written forty-three years ago. If you are a Christian (a believer in Jesus Son of God) and have difficulty  to understand Genesis 1, the beginning according to God,  then, ask yourself this question: What is easier to believe, Christ resurrected which is required by an act of faith to receive the gift of eternal life or that God literally created heaven and earth with all living creature including man in 6 days?

reporter interviewed a stripper. In response to one of his question, she replied, “Sin! Does that exist today? In this modern day, does it still matter?”

In our Western society, sin is no more sin. Sin is a lifestyle or dysfunctional behaviour that only requires consultation sessions with a psychologist. Even a mass murderer is diagnosed mentally ill. Please watch, “The Evils Of Psychiatry: Truth About Bipolar, Depression, Abuse, DSM, & My Testimony.” 
  
Human right supersedes justice for a crime committed in our western society. Our western society has become so delusional that, even pedophiles want rights to allow them to act according to their longing without being condemned.[1] Please watch, "Rutgers Law Prof Who Says Pedophilia Is Not a crime." Gay rights advocates argue that marriage views have evolved over the past decade ... evolved!

Here is a statement made by Jan Willem van der Hoeven, Director,
International Christian Zionist Center in a Newsletter dated January 27, 2014:

“WRONG AND DEVIOUS TERMINOLOGY"

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil. (Isaiah 5:20)

The vile person shall no more be called: liberal. (Isaiah 32:5)

As someone once said, an undue mixture of ethics and statistics prevails in our day - and more often the statistics influence ethical standards rather than the other way around. What it means is that no objective standard exists with which to measure moral or ethical values. For ethical norms to be changed to call what was evil and wrong in the past acceptable and good today, all that is needed is for enough people to call evil good.

Thus statistics rule today’s ethics, to the detriment and ruin of all mankind. And so we see the absurd moral or ethical standards which today object to a tiny operation being performed on a baby for the purpose of religious observance (circumcision) - the rationale being that the child should be old enough to participate in the decision-making process concerning whether or not he is willing to submit himself to this religious rite. But before that child - or any other child for that matter - is born he or she, even when already alive and breathing can have his or her life cruelly terminated without being allowed any say in the matter. This is foolishly called a ‘pro-choice’ decision that gives the mother alone the choice of having her own child - carried in what was supposed to be the safest place in her body - killed and subsequently disposed of. What a world we live in!”

Christians, do you make a statement such as ‘I am human’ and ‘nobodies perfect’ to justify your problems with sin? Have you considered the consequence of your sins on others?  Are you happy of receiving the gift of eternal life and do you put any effort to overcome sin? I realized how my sins have affected others, and for some, my sins even change the course of their lives. Please watch: The Consequence Of Sin: Satan’s Excuses, Lost Promise Land’s, Self Justification and More

I remember watching a TV family show where a father and a mother were shown sleeping with pyjamas in a separate bed. Nowadays, an unmarried man with woman, man with man and woman with woman show cast their sexual behaviour in the same bed on family TV shows. There seems to be no sensor for the language used on family shows. Using excuse such as, “they will hear it in the school playground” is a lame excuse. Parent, your children learn a vulgar language on the Television program. 

What happened? What caused our society to become a country without conscience?  Does the word perversion still exist in today’s dictionary? For the sake of curiosity, let us view the definition of perversion.

From the Oxford Dictionary, perversion is sexual behaviour that is considered abnormal and unacceptable.

From the Merriam-Webster, perversion is sexual behaviour that people think is not normal or natural.

Did you notice that according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the definition allows the people to decide what is not normal or natural?

Now let look at the definition for ‘a pervert’.

From the Oxford Dictionary, a pervert is a person whose sexual behaviour is regarded as abnormal and unacceptable.

From the Merriam-Webster, a pervert is a person whose sexual behavior is considered not normal or acceptable.

Let me point out something in the way the Merriam-Webster defines it,
“is a person whose sexual behavior is considered (not normal) or (acceptable). Hmm...

Have you notice how Merriam-Webster twisted the definition? “is a person whose sexual behavior is considered (acceptable).

Nonetheless, the question we are to ask is to whom the standard of sexual behaviour shall we use to consider what is not normal and what is acceptable? According to today’s rule of thumb: “Anything and everything between adult is normal and acceptable, as long as there is mutual consent.” 

In my commentary titled, “Can we stop the rain from falling?”, I wrote,
“With the freedom to live according to individual standard, the heart ever draws colder and iniquity increases. There is no fear of God and therefore sins are viewed good. The Freedom of Right in the American constitution gives the freedom to sin freely and in abundance.”

Freedom also exists in the Canadian constitution and in many other western democratic nations, where adults are free to live according to their fantasies as long that there is mutual consent.

Now let’s see what the Bible has to say about freedom:
Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the hearts,” Proverbs 21:2.

What happened in the past seventy years? What causes our society to become a country ‘without conscience’?  A country without a conscience is a country without God.  Watch this video titled, “Why Does Life’s Origin Matter?”  A country without conscience comes from a worldly perception:

“You do bad things but still feel safe.
You say to yourself, ‘No one sees the wrong I do.’
You thought that your wisdom and knowledge would save you.
You tell yourself, ‘I alone am important, and no one else matters’,” Isaiah 47:10 ERV

According to God’s word, individual are increasingly considering themselves more important than taking into consideration the overall good of the communities. Volunteers in community groups are in decline. The marketing motto is, “Enjoy yourself,” and “There is only one life, therefore do your best out of it.” In a nations ‘without conscience’, the personal right has superseded all other individual rights, and the constitution gives that privilege.

God of Israel banished from the land His people and made the land desolate because His people became selfish, self-centred, and looking only after their own interest.

“Thus says the Lord of hosts:

‘Execute true justice,
Show mercy and compassion
Everyone to his brother.
 Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless,
The alien or the poor.
Let none of you plan evil in his heart
Against his brother.’Zechariah 7:9-10

 “But they refused to heed, shrugged their shoulders, and stopped their ears so that they could not hear. Yes, they made their hearts like flint, refusing to hear the law and the words, which the Lord of hosts had sent by His Spirit through the former prophets. Thus great wrath came from the Lord of hosts. Therefore it happened, that just as He proclaimed and they would not hear, so they called out and I would not listen,” says the Lord of hosts. “But I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations which they had not known. Thus the land became desolate after them, so that no one passed through or returned; for they made the pleasant land desolate.”Zechariah 7:11-14

It happened. History shows that the people of Israel suffered dearly the consequences for their sins. God made an example of Israel so that, a nation, and we, as individuals should listen to God’s instructions. If not, we will experience the same consequences.

“To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled,” Titus 1:15.

Let me use this analogy once used by a pastor. A long time ago before any animal right activist was organized, an experiment was conducted on the behaviour of a frog if subject to be dropped in a pot of boiling water. The immediate reaction of the frog was to jump out of the pot. In a different condition, the frog was deposited in a pot of cold water. The temperature of the water was increased during a very long lap of time until the water reaches boiling temperature. The consequence was that the frog never jumped out of the water at any given time as the temperature rises, therefore the frog died. This is how our society is responding to sin today!  Our society is dying. 

The fear of the Lord has subsided in our western society throughout a very long period. The entertainment industries have broadcast their immoral and perverted standard by increasing the level of tolerance during a long period, to the point where moral values viewed on television in our time had become accepted perversion. It is now at a point where it is irreversible.

This is what is broadcast on television as entertainments

“They are filled with every kind of sin, evil, greed, and hatred. They are full of jealousy, murder, fighting, lying, and thinking the worst things about each other. They gossip and say evil things about each other. They hate God. They are rude, proud, and brag about themselves. They invent ways of doing evil. They don’t obey their parents, they are foolish, they don’t keep their promises, and they show no kindness or mercy to others,” Romans 1:29-31 ERV.

The writing is on the wall. Judgment has been decreed. It is only a matter of God’s time, “until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in,” Romans 11:25b, this event is called the rapture, 1 Thessalonians 4:16 - 5:3.

The Fear of the Lord

The fear of the Lord is a very deep respect toward God. The fear of the Lord is an acknowledgment that He is The Creator who sustains all things on earth, and in the universe.  He is the only provider of all good things, (Colossians 1:16). Acknowledging the existence of the Lord also gives awareness that we are accountable for our actions. Once we deny His role as the Creator and the provider of all things, the fear diminishes and delusional perception increases.

The Theory of Evolution is a delusion and so is the Big Bang Theory. It is meant to reject God as the Creator. It takes faith to believe that everything came to existence with nothing In other words, it takes faith to believe that everything came to existence by pure chance even if it is assumed that it took billions of years. It takes faith to believe in a Creator God who created all things in six days. In both cases, it takes faith to believe. One is the truth, and the other is a lie, it can’t be both. The Big Bang Theory is a lie. Please watch Evolution Vs. God - The Movie and  The Greatest Lie Ever Told

False prophets are those who teach those lies. The science communities and teachers do not consider themselves prophets but through God’s eyes, they are. A false prophet is an inspired messenger; as such he/she teaches what he/she has been inspired by his/her mentor at universities and scientific communities. Compared with God’s prophets or messengers, they teach God’s word. False prophets are not only in churches, but they are also found in universities and schools. They are teachers who teach lies for the purpose to draw their pupils away from the true God.

There is a judgment against those who prophesied falsely because they deceive people by denying God. God will make them accountable for their false teaching.  If you are a teacher, who claims to be a Christian and teaches evolution, you are a false prophet.  School boards that allow the teaching of evolution are fate prophets.  You are against God, and therefore you are anti-christ.      

Science, when misused to pull people away from God, is considered as false science with its goal to lead to other gods, other beliefs. In addition, those who teach false science are false prophets. Let us go through these following verses to understand their interpretation for our modern time.

“If there arises among you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams, and he gives you a sign or a wonder, and the sign or the wonder comes to pass, of which he spoke to you, saying, ‘Let us go after other gods’—which you have not known—’and let us serve them,’ Deuteronomy 13

This describes a scientist, a professor, and a teacher who teaches using wonderful colourful graphics, charts, pictures and high-resolution videos to prove the Big Bang Theory, and the Evolution Theory. Please watch: "My 3D Animation of Big Bang Theory." In their mind, the theory has happened, it became factual even if it has not been proven. The scientific community desperately trying to prove it by spending millions of dollars in research. It is meant to pull people away from God the Creator. It is meant to draw people to their false god, which is false science, a false belief. The truth is, there is good science, there is false science, and there are many false gods. The world lives in is a pool of lies.

“For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect,” Matthew 24:24.

False prophets are false teachers who teach false science. A theory is just that a theory. A theory not proven as fact is still a theory. However, if proven then it would no longer be a theory but fact. The theory of Big Bang and the Evolution are not factual proof but intellectually imagine, a dream, therefore, is considered a false theology, a false religion. You need to discern them. I encourage you to read my commentary title “Satan Lies. Is It That Simple To Detect?”

 3 you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams, for the Lord your God is testing you to know whether you love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. Deuteronomy 13

Some may ask, why is God allowing false prophets, false teachers to deceive so many? It is a test to acknowledge your love for God. God already knows what’s in your heart, but do you know? God wants you to know who you love, God the Creator, or false god posed as false science. YOU need to make that choice. God gave YOU free will to make choices.

4 You shall walk after the Lord your God and fear Him, and keep His commandments and obey His voice; you shall serve Him and hold fast to Him. Deuteronomy 13

Even when God gives you a choice, He guides you to make the right decision, and He gives the advice to follow Him only, for there is only one true God. However, your heart has to make that choice. Too many today do not listen to God’s calling and prefer to follow the lies. Satan’s motto is: “They must not believe.”  Why? To draw you away from God.

Now, look at what is reserved for those who teach the Big Bang Theory and the Evolution Theory. These are teachers in all level of education from pre-school to university:

5 But that prophet or that dreamer of dreams shall be put to death, because he has spoken in order to turn you away from the Lord your God, Deuteronomy 13

This death sentence instruction from God to His people Israel is proof that He took false prophets in disdain for misleading His people. A death sentence was instructed to Israel toward false prophets. Today, God is the One who put this death sentence to pass:

“But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction,” 2 Peter 2:1.

“But the judgment against these false teachers has been ready for a long time. And they will not escape God who will destroy them,” 2 Peter 2:3b, ERV.

“So they themselves will suffer. That is their pay for what they have done...,” 2 Peter 2: 13b ERV.




That is my reaction when a Christian
 is telling me that she/he believes
 in the theory of evolution and the Big Bang!






You cannot be a Christian and teach false science, such as The Big Bang Theory and the Theory of Evolution. You are denying God as the Creator. To teach that it might have been God’s way to create in a period of billions of year is a lie and false teaching. God sentence already has been declared toward false teachers.

Teachers if you are a Christian beware; you are instructed to teach the truth, which is God’s word. Any teacher, who teaches false knowledge will be accountable for deceiving. All teachers are accountable for what they teach. The Big Bang Theory is false doctrine so is the Theory of Evolution. It is meant to pull our children away from God the true Creator. Billions of dollars are used to prove the non-existence of God by all kinds of government-funded projects. This lie is part of the strong delusion mentioned in 2 Thessalonians 2:11.

“The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness,” 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12.

Let me explain. There will be in a very near future, a time when the Anti-Christ will be revealed. We are now at this end-time prophetic event. Satan is paving the way for the acceptance of the lawless one call the anti-Christ with all kind of signs, and lying wonders by deceiving the whole world. Some of the lying wonders are the false teaching of the Big Bang Theory and the false teaching of the Theory of Evolution. Beautiful illustration, high revolution videos of a spectacular voyage through space are the wonders used to deceive.

The rejection of “the love of the truth” is the rejection of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Saviour. God had sent a strong delusion to those who teach the lie and to those who accept the lie. That strong delusion is that they perceive themselves as gods, master of their own destiny. By rejecting God as the Creator, there is no need for a saviour; therefore, Jesus Son of God is rejected. By not believing in the truth, they are free to seek pleasure in unrighteousness, which is to enjoy perverted lustful pleasures.

Those who reject “the love of the truth” are of no excuse according to God. God’s creation has been revealed to them, it is all around us, yet they rejected the proof and preferred the lies of the Big Bang Theory and of the Theory of Evolution.

“For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things,” Romans 1:20-23.

Because of their choices to worship the creation rather than the Creator, God will not interfere in their sinful ways and allow them to do all things according to their heart.

“Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever,” Romans 1:24-25.

No one is born a homosexual. The truth of God is; God made man and woman within the womb of a woman, and the proof is at birth. Born homosexual oriented is a lie. It is a lie used to justified homosexual tendencies and uses to confuse children at a very young age by teaching them to question their sexual orientation. Anyone who challenges homosexual tendencies is accused of hate crime. Let me tell you what God thinks of those who cause children to sin by influencing children with their perverted lies:

“Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea,” Matthew 18:6.

The homosexual tendency comes from refusing to believe God as Creator. Since God is denied, no accountability is required, there is no sin, therefore anyone can do whatever their lustful taught inspire them to do, without the fear of God, without consciousness. Now read what God has done and is doing to those who rejected Him:

“And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful;” Romans 1:28-31.

God really hates acts of defiance and condemn it to death. Have I offended the homosexual community? Good, because I am tired to be politically corrected when it is you who need correction.  Your perverted behaviours offend me.  You claim that God doesn’t excite, therefore there is no fear of eternal hell, no condemnation. And if you claim to believe in God, you do not love Him, to love Him is to keep His commandments, John 14:15, and 15:10. Liars and deceivers you are.

“Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness;
Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” Isaiah 5:20.

The homosexual community is a minority group who have large support among other secular groups. Judgment is also reserved for those who support and agree with their perverted lifestyle.

“who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them,” Romans 1:32.

Sin! Does it exist today? In this modern day, does it still matter? Yes. Our eternal life depends on it.

There is hope - Fear God and Live.

Teachers, the man of science, and homosexuals, who deny God as the Creator of all things that are in heaven and on the earth, who deceive and pull away from children from God by teaching false science and false sexual principles, there is hope for you. Repent, turn away from your evil ways, and fear God.

“Though a sinner does evil a hundred times, and his days are prolonged, yet I surely know that it will be well with those who fear God, who fear before Him,” Ecclesiastes 8:12.

God wants all sinners to live, therefore He made a way for sinners to be reconciled with Him. That is through Jesus, His Son who took the consequences of our sins which is death, separated for eternity from God in a place call hell.

“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,” John 3:16.

There you will find all kind of useful factual information relating to God Creation, or better, start watching this video, a series title “Creation Science Evangelism Classes” from Kent Hovind.

To Christians who fall for the lies - hypocrite you are.

“Therefore you shall keep the commandments of the Lord your God, to walk in His ways and to fear Him,” Deuteronomy 8:6.

Here is a statement I wrote in a commentary titled, “Satan Lies. Is It That Simple To Detect?”  Please read on:

“This is what Jesus replied to the Pharisees after they accused His disciples of not walking according to the tradition of the elders: “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: This people honors Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. And in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men. “For laying aside the commandments of God, you hold the tradition of men,” Mark 7:6-8 and proceeding to verse 9, “All too well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition.” They reject the truth for lies.

It is obvious that Jesus observed that the Pharisees were placing more importance to tradition than God’s commandments. Jesus went on to explained to the disciples the reason why the Pharisees did so. In (Mark 7:21-23), He explained that it was because the Pharisees did not want to deal with the issue of sin. Same with some Christians, by adapting to a secular view of sin, and that is, it is no longer sin but human nature, which are part of man's evolution. Some Christians avoid the issues of sin; rather prefer to twist the scripture to fulfill their personal agenda and financial gain by the name of Jesus.”




Christians adopt a spirit described in French “De laisser faire” which describe more than a state of complacency and non-intervention, but a state of ‘so what’ mentality. “What difference does it make?” they argued. Christians, we live in a pool of lies, and you don’t care. We accepted so many lies originated from the doctrine of men, such as Santa Claus, the tooth fairy, Halloween, Easter bunny, and so many more lies. What is worst is that we considered those traditions of men so non-offensive. We don’t give a hoot. We lie to our children and worst, we do not teach about God the Creator, we don’t teach to discern the lie in the Big Bang Theory and the Theory of Evolution.

This famous quote, “The Truth Hurts” is a lie. LYING HURTS. When someone is caught lying, he/she lost his/her credibility. When children grow up and find out that parent lied about Santa Claus, the parent lost credibility. You probably think that I am going overboard with this, but the fact is a lie is still a lie, period. Parents, you are teaching children to lie, white lies that you consider OK. REALLY?  No wonder the world is so gullible about the Big Bang Theory? Lies don’t make you angry. Jesus said, “ If you love me keep my commandment.” Look at to the way God responses to His people, Israel:

““So you shall say to them, ‘This is a nation that does not obey the voice of the Lord their God nor receive correction. Truth has perished and has been cut off from their mouth,” Jeremiah 7:28.

What happens to Israel? They were dispersed. They lost everything. Yes, we are living in a period of grace and mercy. This period will soon end. The world will suffer the consequences of lying and believing in perversion that purposely pulls people away from God. Christians, have you wonder why your prayers have not been answered lately? Hmmm... God takes lies seriously, especially lying to little children. Please read this article title, “Celebrating Christmas In The Truth.”

Christians, we represent the salt of the earth, and as such we are called to preserve the truth. We are to point out the lies, as we are the light. Fear the Lord and recognized that only God created all things as describes in the first chapter of the book of Genesis. Testify what you believe as Jonah did:

“So he said to them, “I am a Hebrew; and I fear the Lord, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the dry land”,” Jonah 1:9

“I am a Christian; and I fear the Lord, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the dry land.” There was no doubt in Jonah’s mind about who created heaven and earth. What change all that; Satan’s lie of evolution and of the big bang.

Jesus is coming soon. Yes, He is. All prophetic signs are conjugating for the last and terrible day of Jacob trouble. The church will be spared. We are saved by believing in Jesus the Son of God, God the Creator of heaven and earth, and believe that Jesus died and resurrected on the third day. That is the gospel, there is no other. Please read my experience of coming to understand the true gospel, “When Did I Receive The Gift of Eternal Life?   You cannot pick and chose doctrine to be saved. You are to believe in the true God the Creator, God of Israel, and in the Son of God name Jesus of Nazareth, Yahushua.

Conclusion:

The greatest deception of our time is the teaching of evolution and big bang theory; anyone teaching this false science is considered a false prophet.

“These false teachers do whatever they want, and they are so proud of themselves. They are not afraid even to say bad things against the glorious ones,” 2 Peter 2:10b, ERV.

They teach our children at a young age, deceiving them consequently drawing them away from God. The two end-time witnesses will accuse those who teach this false science as a false prophet. They will declare that God is the Creator, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. They will witness that Yahushua is Christ resurrected, the Son of God who took away the penalty of our sins. I would love to be there to see that...

Satan knows that his time is short. His destiny in eternal fire is at hand. With fury and vengeance, he wants to bring as many victims with him. Deceiving by lying is his greatest weapon, (Eph 6:12). The destiny of all liars is the eternal lake of fire, (Revelation 21:8).

If I offend you, understand that it is not I who offend but Satan’s lies. Yet the truth is here to save you, (John 14:6).

“Jesus answered, “You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause, I was born, and for this cause, I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice”,” John 18:37.

Therefore, do well to listen to His instructions, as I did, I learned my lesson.

“Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water”,” Revelation 14:7

I, at one time, believed that evolution was true. In High School, I refused to write an essay on the origin of life base on Genesis. My stubbornness got me a zero mark.  I experienced God in my life, the existence of a Super-natural being looking over me. He brought me to reality by revealing Satan in a very personal way. If Satan exists, so does God. The fear of Satan brought me to God. Look at me now, I am writing the essay that I should have written forty-three years ago. If you want to know more about my experience walking with God, I encourage you to read two commentaries, one titled, When Did I Receive The Gift of Eternal Life?” And the other, “Paranormal Phenomena, What really behind this?”

c u @ d rapture...soon

To enjoy all of God’s blessing now and forever, to eternity and beyond there is only one thing you must do... believe God is the Creator, believe Jesus is Son of God.

In The Beginning, God... 



Water was the first element mentioned in the book of Genesis.  Earth initiated as many blobs of water, Gen 1:2.  The surrounding was void, dark and deep.  Imaging, there was nothing, empty space, dark, and void of physical matter.  Then there are waters, a huge mass of waters.  There is no mention of when it was created.  It just was.  




The Spirit of God hovered over the face of the waters.  No Big Bang, no mass explosion, no expansion of the universe, no gas, no particles that took trillions of years to come together to creates planets, suns, solar systems, galaxies and finally the universe.  There was no volcano, no poisonous gas, no wild electrical storm to form the planet earth and eventually all living things…just waters. (Image source: Paul Gitto)

What a contrast between The Big Bang Theory and the description of God’s creation.  The Word created all things.  It was said then it was done, (John 1:1-5).  All things created in six days.  Why six days?  That is symbolic.  It is part of revealing God’s plan to whoever seeks God.






In Simplicity in the Gospel, my main goal is to explain God’s Word as simple as possible by taking Jesus by His Word.  In reading the Bible I focus on reasoning not through the eyes of the world but by accepting His words literally.  I use an analogy to clarify a difficult subject matter, compare to Jesus who hide understanding.  Jesus used symbols, parables, and metaphors.  Why is that?  The answer is because Jesus reveals only to those who love Him and seek Him, Matt 13:11, 1 Cor 2:9.  Therefore, if you seek the truth and understanding He will reveal it to you, and that is a promise.  If you are secular in your reasoning, you will have difficulties to understand.  Love God and seek Him.  Ask Him to open the eyes of your heart.  Jesus loves you, do you?  Then tell Him, He loves to hear from you.

In nowhere space, (empty and void) waters were about.  On the first day, a light came about.  This is not the sun or moon.  It is light from nowhere appearing. That same light will also be revealed at Jesus return, Zechariah 14:7  





On the second day, water was separated in two by space.  A blob of water in the center surrounded by an empty space then surrounded by water, like a huge transparent shield.  At Jesus return, fresh water also will  be separated,  Zechariah 14:8 










On the third day, God separated the center blob of water and land appears.  Lands covered the water in some area and in other areas water was collected as seas.  Grass, herbs of all kinds and trees of all kinds came about.  Mist waters nourished the land, Gen 2:6.

On the fourth day, the stars, the sun and the moon were created.  What a contrast compared with the theory of the big bang where many argue that the big bang first came about.   Some argue that it is impossible since the universe is expanding and that the speed of light proves that by the time the light reaches earth millions of years have passed. They concluded that the universe is billions of years old. The error in that theory is that God created the stars, the sun and the moon with the law of physic all in one day. 

“When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?” Psalm 8:3-4.

"The heavens tell about the glory of God.   The skies announce what his hands have made. Each new day tells more of the story, and each night reveals more and more about God’s power.  You cannot hear them say anything. They don’t make any sound we can hear. But their message goes throughout the world. Their teaching reaches the ends of the earth. The sun’s tent is set up in the heavens." Psalm 19:1-4 (ERV)

On the fifth day, all living creatures in the seas and in the air came about.  On the sixth day, all living creatures on the lands came about, including a man and a woman.

How great our God is.  Believe it; all things were created for one purpose.  It was created for us.  It is created as a habitat to teach us, to train us, to prepare us for a greater purpose, to become part of God’s family.  This planet earth is our teaching ground, our university.  Have you learned something yet?  Do you understand why Jesus commands us to seek first the kingdom of God and its righteousness?  That is the great mystery of man’s existence reveal.  Now you know. Simple isn’t!

When Did I Receive The Gift of Eternal Life?

When Did I Receive The Gift of Eternal Life?

When I Accepted and Believed the Gospel as True

The Reward Is Eternal
“Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes Him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned but has crossed over from death to life.” John 5:42
In this commentary, I will share my personal experience that led me to become born again and, consequently, to receive the “free” gift of eternal life. Here are the events in my life that led me to understand the simplicity of the gospel.

My parents raised me in the Roman Catholic faith. I attended a catholic school. I was an altar boy, regularly scheduled to assist the priest serving mass. It was all in Latin then. There were many rituals, ceremonies, and strict observances. On the first Friday of each month, a priest would come to the school to hear confessions, and then we would go to the 11 am church service. The month of May was specially consecrated to Mary, Jesus’ mother, through daily prayers, including reciting the rosary, kneeling before her statue holding baby Jesus, and, at the same time, crushing the serpent's head with her heel.   Lent was a special time when we gave up something, mostly sweet for forty days. Was it then that I received the gift of eternal life? If I had died, then as a good catholic, would I have received eternal life? After all, I burned candles for those who were stuck in purgatory, and I confessed my sins regularly. No. I would have gone to hell. God forbids us to pray to the dead to intercede on our behalf. Only Jesus is our intercessor. He also forbids calling anyone father. That is reserved for God, the Father only. Jesus instructed us to avoid repetitive prayer and to pray in the privacy of our rooms.  No, I did not receive the gift of eternal life by following my parents' tradition and religious custom of the Roman Catholic Church. 

I stopped going to Sunday mass during my mid-teens. I slowly got interested in the New Age trend. I was more interested in girls than in religion. Gradually, I became more involved in the new age movement and began studying paranormal phenomena. If you want more details of what is behind this, read my commentary on the subject: PARANORMAL PHENOMENA, WHAT IS REALLY BEHIND THIS?


Paranormal consisted of ESP, clairvoyance, mind over matter, communicating with a guide (angel) and many more. I finished college and got a job. A co-worker was also very involved in the paranormal. Actually, he was so involved as to let a demon take control over him. He would allow it. He informed me that Satan wanted to see me. It was then that I realised who was behind the New Age movement. Satan wanted to use me as he used my co-worker.  It was then that I asked God the Father to protect me. God did protect me. Satan and his demons were unable to enter my body and unable to use me to achieve their agenda.  I eventually quit my job and moved on. Was it then that I received the gift of eternal life? After all, God answered my prayer to protect me from demons. No. If I had died, then I would end up in hell. 


One rainy morning on my way to work, I was driving up a small winding curve on a hill. My car lost control, and I was heading toward two young boys who were on their way to school.  My foot was on the brake pedal, but I couldn't stop; I could see their fear as I approached. I asked God to take my life in exchange for theirs... immediately, the car swerved and crashed on the opposite side of the road in a rocky ditch. The boys were unharmed. My car was totalled.  Was it then that I received the gift of eternal life? After all, I gave my life to God in exchange for the lives of the two young boys. No, I did not receive the gift of eternal life then, either. If I had died, then I would end up in hell. 

A door-to-door salesman knocked at my door. Without any hesitation, I asked if he had a bible.   That is when I became curious and began searching for the truth.  In those days, it was forbidden to own a Bible, especially a complete Old Testament version. A good friend invited me to a weekend retreat.  It was a gathering of young men to get to know Jesus. Throughout the weekend, I've listened to testimonies about how Jesus has affected their lives and helped them overcome huge obstacles. It emotionally moved me. I asked Jesus to come into my life. It changed me; it helped me reconcile with my father and express my love to my mother, brother and sister.  Was it then that I received the gift of eternal life? No,  if I had died, then I would end up in hell. 

I became interested in joining a Christian denomination. I got involved with the Worldwide Church of God.  To become a member, I had to go to a series of interviews. I was even told that I must stop smoking before being baptised. So I quit smoking, got baptised, submerged in water,  their hands were laid on my head, and elders prayed for me. This denomination observed the Sabbath day of rest, from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday.


We also observed all the Jewish feast days, which took place in the Spring and Fall seasons.  I paid tithe, plus a special tithe set aside for the Feast of Tabernacles, and, every third year, a special tithe dedicated to the needy in the church.  I also keep the special dietary ordinance, staying away from eating unclean food as prescribed in the Book of the Law of Moses. It required a lot of discipline to set aside at least half an hour for morning and bedtime prayer, and at least one hour of Bible study each day. Surely, at this time, you would conclude that I received the gift of eternal life. No. If I had died then, I would have ended up in hell. 

So, what does it take to receive the "free" gift of eternal life? Is it by going to church every Saturday or Sunday? Is it by giving one's heart to Jesus? Is it by being part of a congregation? Is it by swearing an oath? Is it by keeping the 613 commandments? Is it by sinning no more? Is it by walking down to the front of the congregation stage to accept Jesus as my Lord? Is it by serving in the community? Is it by giving to the poor? Is it by having good conduct and a good reputation? Is it by stopping smoking and drinking? No, none of the above will do. Therefore, what should we do to receive the “free” gift of eternal life?

Some of you would probably argue that God is not that finicky and that He sees the heart. Is God that difficult? It is the opposite: God made receiving the gift of eternal life so simple and easy that it is hard to see.

What must we do? What is the work that we must do to receive the gift of eternal life? The circumstances in my life made me leave the Worldwide Church of God. I did not attend any other denomination. I took it upon myself to find the truth by reading the Bible, rather than relying on anyone's church version to explain it. Something was just not right. There are so many denominations, and all claim to have the truth. Yet, why are Christians divided?  Right then are signs that something is drastically wrong. I find that they all contain some truth, but they are also confusing in their theology. I decided to go back to the basics by questioning everything that I was taught.

I started reading the Bible again, but this time I took it as is and took Jesus at His word. What makes God's word difficult to understand? We tend to view the Bible from a secular world perspective. We conclude that it is too difficult to understand; therefore, it is better to leave it to the theologians. 

I came across an important verse that encouraged my research:
 "No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day," John 6:44.
God definitely was drawing me to His Son, Jesus. All these past experiences of God reveal that He wanted me to understand something very important, and who would guess that it would pertain to the gift of eternal life?
I read many commentaries. I eventually narrowed my sources to three authors: Lambert Dolphin, Ray Stedman, Jack Kelley and, recently, Andy Woods. They also provided YouTube and MP3 versions of the Bible study.  You will find the link below. They all agree that to receive the "free" gift of eternal life is to believe that the Son of God is the Lord and in His resurrection. In all its simplicity, all it takes to receive eternal life is to choose to believe in our Lord and King, Jesus.
 “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light,” Matthew 11:28-30.
We tend to associate this verse with the problems we face in our lives. Yes, Jesus will help us face life’s troubles, but this verse is directed to a Jewish audience. The Jews are burdened by observing all the laws and ordinances described in the Book of Leviticus. The Pharisees and the Sadducees only made matters worse by adding more to the laws. The Jews are the ones Jesus was addressing; hey, I know by experience, I lived it. Working for my salvation, meaning working to receive eternal life, is a heavy-laden burden, and it is tough labour to keep our salvation. Jesus is explaining that to learn from Him means to take Him at His word, and you will find rest, which in turn means to stop working. Take the example of God, who rested on the seventh day. He stopped creating and working.

What is Jesus' yoke that is so easy, what is Jesus' burden that is so light?  It is to BELIEVE. Is it that simple? To believe in what? Believe that He is the one who did all the work so that you may receive eternal life and He is the one responsible for seeing that you keep it.
 "And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand," John 10:28.
In addition, if that did not convince you, this verse should:
 "And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand, My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand," John 10:28-29
Take the example of Naaman, commander of the king of Syria’s army, as found in 2 Kings 5.  He had leprosy. He heard from a young Jewish girl servant in his wife's household that there was a prophet in Samaria named Elisha who could heal him. He brought it to the attention of his king. His king told him to seek out the prophet, be healed, and bring silver, gold, and clothing. Therefore, Naaman did so. When he arrived at Elisha's house, Elisha sent his servant to meet Naaman at the door and give instructions to wash in the Jordan River seven times. 


Naaman was furious that Elisha did not make a special ritual and prayer to heal him. He left, fuming. However, one of Naaman's servants asked him, "Would you not follow Elisha's instruction if he were to ask you to do something great to show that you are worthy to receive healing?  But, instead, he asked you to do something as simple as to dip seven times in the Jordan River." This convinced Naaman so he followed Elisha's instructions to find his flesh restored like the flesh of a little child.

Naaman was very happy and wanted to reward Elisha with silver, gold and clothing. Elisha refused to receive anything. The purpose of God's healing of Naaman, an enemy of Israel, was to prove that there is no other God on all the earth except in Israel.

Are we not all like Naaman? We refused to consider that the gift of eternal life is so simple to receive. Moreover, there is nothing we can do or give to keep it? Therefore, why are you persisting in disobeying His instruction to believe in His Son, who did it all for us and promised that nothing will ever take it away? Recognise God's mercy and grace and testify that there is no other God on all the earth except in Israel, and His name is Jesus.
 “God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good? Numbers 23:19

 

By Grace alone, through Faith alone, in Christ alone!
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—9 not by works, so that no one can boast." Ephesians 2:8-9

 What is the Gospel? 

Jesus Son of God, shed His blood on the cross, died, was buried for 3 days, and was resurrected. 

 

Word of advice...when in doubt, take Jesus by His word.

c u @ d rapture... soon

“And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work." Revelation 22:12
“This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” John 6:29

The Reward Is Eternal

Supplementary Verses

My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me, and I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand, John 10:27-28

All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. John 6:37-40

In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory. Ephesians 1:13-14

Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God, who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee
2 Corinthians 1:21-22
