From Evolution to Gaza

 

Going from Evolution to Gaza

      We have been told that evolution is scientific.  However, it is also a philosophy.  Etiologically, it replaces God our creator and claims that nature created itself.  Its goal is not to worship God but rather to worship self.  With evolution we try to become the most evolved, the strongest and most fit to survive.  Evolution consists of superior and inferior creatures.  The weaker must die off and make room for the stronger to keep progressing.  This was applied to slavery.  The black race was considered by many evolutionists to be inferior and less evolved.  They were almost thought of as less than human.  Some believed that the white race was more evolved and therefore slavery was justifiable.  

      Abortion has tied into this philosophy.  It has first been aimed at the Black and Hispanic population and then the Caucasian population.  It has been designed in such a way that the Black baby is 4 times as likely to be aborted as the white baby.  The Hispanic baby is twice as likely to be aborted as the white baby.  This has been a highly successful way to reduce the Black and Hispanic populations and has made our country more white.  Margaret Sanger was a eugenicist. It is a prime example of "white privilege".  

Abortion is appealing to many people because it gives god-like powers to mere people.  Usually God has the power to give and take life.  Abortion gives the power to give and take life into our own hands.  In other words we are acting in place of God.  It is on a higher level than hunting.  The deer and the elk were amazingly created by God.  As human beings, we are not only created by God but we are made in God's image according to the Genesis account.  This gives us a great amount of value.  Those who were designed by the wisest designer in the universe and made in the IMAGE of  the most valuable being in the universe, are HIGHLY VALUABLE!!  

Our country has a high homicide rate but it may partly be philosophical.  Abortion is not determined by who is superior or the most fit to survive.  It is often a matter of convenience.  If our neighbor is simply an evolutionary product of time and chance and simply an evolved animal who is not "convenient", then killing him might seem ok.  Again it gives a person the feeling of playing God by determining the life or death of another person.  A person could reason that since we have aborted 63 million human beings, what is wrong with taking one more life? 

The nation of Israel is in a similar category.  Many view them as an "inconvenient" part of the world.  They think that getting rid of this nation would solve many of the world's problems.  There is another aspect that appeals to people.  Israel has been God's chosen people for thousands of years.  Many times in history, God has acted on Israel's behalf.  Getting rid of God's chosen people would cause many to feel like they are more powerful than God himself.  Evolution works to abolish God and deify nature.  People think that getting rid of Israel would help us clear our minds of the God/human connection.

Politics is a strange animal.  One method used in politics is to accuse your opponent of doing exactly what you are guilty of.  Many people who are for the genocide of Israel are accusing President Biden of genocide in Gaza.  Israel is fighting against a terrorist group.  Those who do NOT want Israel to exist, are accusing Israel of genocide.  

The prophet Isaiah proclaimed that God has always been God and he will always be God.  He is not afraid that someone will evolve to His superior level.  He is not worried about tomorrow.  He has infinite power and knowledge.  When Cain murdered his brother Abel, God said that the voice of Abel's blood cried out to Him from the ground.(Genesis 4:10)  If the blood of Abel cried out to God from the ground, how much more does the blood of 63 million unborn Americans?  Matthew 10 tells us that God even knows when one sparrow falls to the ground.  Verses 30-31 says, "...even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows."  

A day is coming when God will judge the whole world.  He will indeed show Himself to be the most powerful.  No one will take His place.  Lucifer tried to ascend to God's level.  The Bible prophesies that he will "be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit."(Isaiah 14:15)  God has all wisdom and power.  From evolution to Gaza, God is and will always be God!

Separation of Church and State

 Can we teach school without God? It is impossible. First or all, God created time and space. Our school building takes up space that was created by God. We are using time which God created to occupy that space. We have not created our own space and time for educating students. During school we breathe air that was designed by God. We enjoy the sunshine that God created. We are teaching students that have been created by God. We have not created our own children. Furthermore, the students we teach have been made in the image of God. There is no scenario where we could teach even one second without divine intervention. Nature/science itself proclaims the majesty of God. "For his invisible attributes, that is, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen since the creation of the world, being understood through what he has made. As a result, people are without excuse." Romans 1:20

God's Heart Test

Some claim that Mormons are Chirstians. Some say that Mormons are not Christians. Others are publicaly silent on the matter and simply do not respond to Mormon claims of being Christian. Many say that God will not let his people be led astray. The Israelites were God’s people and they were definitely led astray by false prophets to serve false gods. Is this permissible? Does God allow this?

Deuteronomy 13:3 says God tests the heart of his people. How does God test the heart? He allows false prophets to come along, perfom miracles and persuade people to follow other gods. Dueteronomy 13:1-4 says, “If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them; Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD you God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul. Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.” As we read the next five verses, we see that the Israelites were never to compromise or be accomodating toward these false prophets.

Lorenzo Snow prophesied and said, “As man now is, God once was; as God now is, man may be.” Many Mormons are praying to an exalted man. They believe that God is an exalted man in heaven with many wives. These wives give birth to spirit children that will populate a world of their creation. They literally plan to be gods of their own world and be worshipped by its’ people.

Isaiah, the prophet, had a lot to say about the nature of God. "To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One."(Isaiah 40:25) "...I the Lord, the first, and with the last; I am he." (Isaiah 41:4) "...before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour." (Isaiah 43:10&11) "...I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God."(Isaiah 44:6) God, who is onmiscient, made this statement in Isaiah 44:8: "...Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any." Isaiah 45:5&6 says, "I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me:...That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else." Isaiah 45:21 says, "...there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me." The prophet continues this message in Isaiah 45:18&22, Isaiah 46:5&9 and Isaiah 48:11&12.

Isaiah stated that God does not share his glory. Isaiah 42:8 says, "I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images." Isaiah 48:11 says, "...I will not give my glory unto another." Isaiah gives an example of this in Isaiah 14:12-15. “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! Art thou cut down to the ground, which did weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thy heart: I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.”

Some will say that if we truly have the Spirit of God, we will not argue about the nature of God or about theological doctirne. Moses strongly argued against false prophets in Deuteronomy chapters 13 and 18. Isaiah strongly argued about the nature of the everlasting God in the book of Isaiah. The Apostle Paul strongly argued for his gospel in the book of Galations. To say that a person does not have the Spirit of God if he argues doctrine is a false statement. God is testing our hearts. Will we listen to false prophets? Will we turn to false gods? Do we love our neighbor enough to share the truth? Where is our heart?

Of God, Of Man and Of the Devil

      Joseph Smith prophesied about the Book of Mormon according to B. H. Roberts in his book A Comprehensive History of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  Page 162-163 of volume 1 says, "Hyrum Smith is represented by David Whitmer as saying that it had been suggested to him that some of the brethren might go to toronto, Canada, and sell the copyright of the book (of Mormon) for considerable money, that is, sell the right to publish the book in the Canadian provinces, not dispose of the copyright absolutely.  He persuaded Joseph Smith to inquire of the Lord, with the result... that he 'received a revelation that some of the brethren should go to Toronto, Canada, and they would sell the copyright.'  Accordingly, Oliver Cowedery and Hirum Page, the latter being one of the eight witnesses, went to canada to sell the copyright, but failed.  David Whitmer represents that this failure threw the little group of believers into great trouble, and they went to the Prophet and asked him to account for the failure.  The prophet frankly acknowledged his inability to understand the cause of the failure, and inquired of the Lord.  He received for answer... this: 'Some revelations are of God; some revelations are of man; and some revelations are of the devil.' "  

      Joseph Smith was saying that a prophet can receive a revelation from God, from man and from the Devil.  Since his prophecy failed to come to pass, it could not have been from God.  The other two options that Joseph Smith mentioned are these:  The revelation can be "of man" or "of the devil."  The "group of believers" must have thought it impossible for Joseph Smith to speak a false prophesy.  They were troubled by the failure of the prophecy as well as not being able to get the Book of Mormon Published.  According to Joseph Smith, false prophesy is a possibility.  If it is possibly for Joseph Smith to be misled, is it possible for you and I to be misled?  Alma 30:53 says, "But behold, the devil hath deceived me; for he appeared unto me in the form of an angel,..."  In the same verse, Korihor states that he taught this deceiving angel's words and they were "pleasing".  2 Nephi 9:9 states that the devil "...transformeth himself nigh unto an angel of light, and stirreth up the children of men...."  2 Corinthians 11:14 says, "And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light."  Joseph Smith and the "group of believers" realized that the prophecy was false because it did not come pass.  The venture was a failure.  Deuteronomy 18:22 says, "When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him."

What is Anti-Mormon?

      What does anti-Mormon mean?  Is it someone who hates Mormons?  A young lady recently called me anti-Mormon and one who hates Mormons.  Was she right?

      Suppose two by-standers were watching a boat float down a river.  The first man said "everyone must choose the way that is right for himself.  Who am I to judge?"  So even thought he knew the people in the boat were headed to a 1,000 ft. waterfall which would be certain death on the rocks below, he put a smile on his face.  He simply said "Hope you enjoy this beautiful day on the river."  The second man appeared to be more contentious.  He was yelling at the folks enjoying their river ride.  He was jumping up and down hollering, "Get off the river.  You are going to die."  He didn't want anyone to die going over the deadly waterfall.  Which man hated the folks in the boat?  Did the nice, friendly man really care when he knew there was a dangerous water fall downstream?  Or did the loud, blunt, truthful man really care about the travelers?  Who was the real hater?  Which one really was concerned?

    Lorenzo Snow said, "As man now is, God once was; as God is now, man may become."  Stop praying to an exalted man.  This is a false god.  Turn to the true God in Moroni 8:18.  "For I know that God is not a partial God, neither a changeable being; but he is unchangeable from all eternity to all eternity."  God was never a man.  He has always been God from "all eternity to all eternity."  Does quoting Moroni make me a hater or someone who cares?

      Some say there is no hell.  It is just a mental state.  2 Nephi 28:21-23 tells us where this lie came from.  "And others will he pacify, and lull them away into carnal security, that they will say: All is well in Zion; yea, Zion prospereth, all is well - and thus the devil cheateth their souls, and leadeth them away carefully down to hell.  And behold, others he flattereth away, and telleth them there is no hell; and he saith unto them: I am no devil, for there is none - and thus he whispereth in their ears, until he grasps them with his awful chains, from whence there is no deliverance.  Yea, they are grasped with death, and hell; and death, and hell, and the devil, and all that have been seized therewith must stand before the throne of God, and be judged according to their works, from whence they must go into the place prepared for them, even a lake of fire and brimstone, which is endless torment."  If I ignore the words of Nephi, does that make me a nice, responsible neighbor?

      Some people feel like repentance is a gradual process that may take years to complete.  Some hope to make a telestial or terrestrial kingdom without complete repentance. But we are not guaranteed tomorrow.  A car accident can quickly end our life.  Alma warned against procrastinating repentance.  Alma 34:31 says, "...now is the time and the day of your salvation;..."  Verse 33 says, "...do not procrastinate the day of your repentance until the end;...if we do not improve our time while in this life, then cometh the night of darkness wherein there can be no labor performed."  Verse 35 says, "...if ye have procrastinated the day of your repentance even until death, behold, ye have become subjected to the spirit of the devil, and he doth seal you his; therefore, the Spirit of the Lord hath withdrawn from you, and hath no place in you, and the devil hath all power of you; and this is the final state of the wicked."  Is it being contentious to actually take the words of Alma seriously?

      If you have concern for someone's well being or eternal destiny, are you a hater or someone who cares?  Is it possible to be genuinely concerned, speaking the truth in love?  What say you?
      Matthew 7:13&14 says, "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:  Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."

      

Global Warming & Climate Change?

      Did Jesus preached about "Global Warming" and "Climate Change"?  Here is an example of Jesus preaching about global warming and a permanent climate change in Luke 16:22-24  "...the rich man also died, and was buried;  And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.  And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame."   In Matthew 10:28 Jesus said,  "And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."  Apparently this warming and permanent climate change is going to affect a lot of people.   In Matthew 7:13&14, Jesus said, "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:  Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."  You only have to murder one person to be a murderer.  You only have to steal one time to be a thief.  You only have to tell one lie to be a liar.  You only have to sin one time to be a sinner.  James 2:10 says, "For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all."  Have you ever coveted your neighbors property?  Exodus 20:17 says, "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's."   Matthew 5:28 says, "...whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart."  Matthew 5:22 says, "...whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment":.."whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire."  Romans 3:23 says, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;..."   Romans 6:23 says, "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."  Is there any hope for the repentant sinner who wants to avoid this inclusive "hell"?  John 14:6 says, "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."   Romans 5:8 expresses God's love for sinners, "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."  Romans 10:13 says, "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."  Romans 10:9&10 says, "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.  For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."  
      Please take the time to read for yourself Jesus' many messages on hell or global warming and permanent climate change.  Repent and turn to God that He may save your soul.

100 Trillion Plans - Creation/Evolution

      Were you created or did you evolve?  Were you designed by God or are you a product of time and chance?  In 1860, an agnostic named Thomas Huxley debated Samuel Wilberforce at Oxford on the theory of evolution.  Wilberforce stated that a watch implies the existence of a watch maker.  Similarly, design in nature implies the existence of a Designer.  Huxley argued that six eternal monkeys or apes typing on six eternal typewriters with unlimited amounts of paper and ink could, given enough time, produce a Psalm, a Shakespearean sonnet, or even a whole book, purely by chance that is, by random striking of the keys.  Huxley pretended to find the 23^rd Psalm among reams of typed gibberish produced by his six imaginary apes at their typewriters. His point was this:  molecular movement, given enough time and matter, would be able to produce Bishop Wilberforce himself, purely by chance and without the work of any Designer or Creator. (Creation.com)
     DNA was not discovered until 1953.  (Huxley and Wilberforce did not have the advantages of  modern science.)  Each cell in your body has DNA, a set of plans.  If there are 50 to 100 trillion cells in your body then you have trillions of plans in you.  You were not a product of "time and chance".  You were carefully planned with 50-100 trillion sets of plans.  That is so amazing!  

Psalm 139:17 &18 says, "How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!  If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee."

Sharing God's GLORY???

1 Nephi 20:11 says, "...I will not give my glory unto another."  Some people try to rationalize this away by saying God will not give His glory to people who go about it the wrong way.  They say that God wants everyone to be like Him.  However the context is not about overly ambitious people who go about it the wrong way.  We see in verse 9 that he is talking about people who are not cut off.  Verse 10 says, "...I have refined thee, I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction."  He is speaking to these people when He says He will not give His glory to another.  In verse 12 He speaks to Israel and says, "...I am the first, and I also am the last."  There was no God before Him that He had to share His glory with. And there is no god after Him that he will have to share his glory with. Isaiah 42:8 says, "I am the Lord: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images."  Isaiah 44:8 says, "...Is there a God beside me?  yea, there is no God; I know not any."  Isaiah 44:6 says, "...I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God."  Isaiah 45:5 says, "I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me:..."

All Religions Have Truth????

Can truth be found everywhere?  Do all roads lead to Rome?  Do all religions have truth?  If you study the Jews and Israelis in the Old Testament, you will see that they believed this.  They were involved in all the religions of their time. In the Old Testament, the Israeli's relationship with God was often compared to the relationship between a man and wife. The prophets many times referred to Judah and Israel as "harlot" sisters. Instead of being loyal to their God, they went after other gods like an unfaithful wife goes after other men.  Jeremiah 3:11 says, "And the Lord said unto me, The backsliding Israel hath justified herself more that treacherous Judah." That was the KJV.  The NIV paraphrases the verse this way: "The Lord said unto me, "Faithless Israel is more righteous than unfaithful Judah. In other words, it is better to just follow other gods than to follow Jehovah God and other gods. It is better for a woman not to marry than it is for her to marry and follow after other men. Israel stopped following God from King Jeroboam on through their history. Judah had some righteous and some unrighteous kings. John 14:6 says, "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." What a powerful verse. Not MY way - Jesus is the way.  Not my truth or what is relatively right for me - Jesus is the truth.

Evolution

 Photo by Meg Jerrard on Unsplash

      

      By law, public schools are required to teach the Theory of Evolution.  Many try to emphasis the "separation of church and state" idea.  Many want to change our Merry Christmas to "Happy Holidays".  But what if we go beyond all the talk?  Is the Theory of Evolution something we really believe in?  Do we believe it enough to actually practice it in real life?  When we apply it to real life, we run into some serious philosophical problems.
      In sports we refer to evolution when talk about "survival of the fittest".  We think about one person winning and the others losing a sports game.  In the theory, however, the weaker ones do not lose.  The weaker ones die off and only the strong survive.  Our country has a big problem with gangs.  The gang lifestyle is very similar to the survival of the fittest idea.  If guns were not used and the fighting was done without weapons, then the strongest gangs would survive and the weaker would be eliminated.
      We would not want to apply such a theory to our society because it would be completely inhumane.  What if we ended all medicare and social security for the weaker, elderly and sick people of our society and gave that money to our strongest people.  That would be promoting the Theory of Evolution and survival of the fittest but it would be completely disrespectful to those that deserve our help.
      Think about having a daughter.  She is looking forward to dating sometime in the future (possibly age 30).  Do you want her to date the guy that is evolution-minded?  The guy who believes in survival of the fittest, the strongest ones prevail and might makes right?  Would that date just be following his own animal instincts?  Or do you want her to date the guy that is creation-minded?  The one that believes that she was created by the wisest designer in the universe?  The one that believes she was created in the image of God himself?  The one that thinks he may have to answer to God some day for the way he treats her?  Obviously, what you believe can have a big impact on the way you treat others.
     Evolution has a value problem.  If you say someone is a super-evolved monkey, you are lowering their value from a human to an evolved monkey.  Saying someone is evolved from a small amoeba does not give them a sense of self-worth.  Comparisons to animals are usually used to lower ones value or insult a person.  If you say someone is a product of time and chance, you are inferring that they were not worth the time of being planned.  For a Christian, the most valuable being in the universe is God.  The Bible says that man was designed by this most valuable and wise being.  This gives man great value.  The Bible also says that man was created in the image of this most valuable being.  This gives us great value!
      We are often told that science has proved evolution to be true.  If we could prove that evolution is true, we would call it the LAW of evolution.  It is correctly called the theory of evolution.  It is just a theory.  If the theory of evolution is true we should see many new species evolving and coming to life.  Most scientists today are more worried about all the animals that are becoming extinct.
      The Theory of Evolution implies that time is a constant.  This concept is highly suspect.  The time on your cell phone usually differs from the time on your computer.  The time on one sign usually differs from the time on the next sign.  Some scientists believe that time ceases to flow at the speed of light.  So, if you were traveling at a speed that is close to the speed of light and you travel the distance of a light-year, perhaps it would only take you a few seconds.  It would not take a year.  Some scientists believe that time would nearly stop in a black hole which tends toward infinite density.  So we could stay young but we would be crushed by the tremendous gravitational pull.  To assume that time is a constant, as evolution does, may be erroneous.
      Romans 1:20 says, "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead: so that they are without excuse:"  Our visible world teaches us about the invisible world.  Our DNA is our blueprint.  We were planned.  We are not here by accident!!  We are not a product of time and chance.  Nature points us to what is beyond this world.  Our sun is a star.  When our sun burns out, life on earth will freeze and die.  However, Christians have a heavenly home that is being prepared by God himself.  This is exciting and gives us great hope!

D&C 1:31 Least Degree of Allowance

     Suppose you are doing the "best you can do."  Does God make up the rest?  We always say that "nobody is perfect."  If we have repented and stopped most of our lying, coveting and stealing, is it good enough to get us by?  Is it a gradual process of repentance and gradually forsaking sin?  If we are looking to our goodness, how good is good enough?  If you are married, you try to overlook some of your partners faults.  Does God do the same for us?
     D&C 1:31 says,  "For I the Lord cannot look upon sin with the least degree of allowance;"  This verse tells us how much sin God overlooks.  Helaman 4:24 say, "...the Spirit of the Lord doth not dwell in unholy temples."  Many people describe repentance as a gradual process.  But D&C 58:43 says, "By this ye may know if a man repenteth of his sins - behold, he will confess them and forsake them."  Alma 11:37 is a strong verse:  "And I say unto you again that he cannot save them in their sins; for I cannot deny his word, and he hath said that no unclean thing can inherit the kingdom of heaven; therefore, how can ye be saved, except ye inherit the kingdom of heaven?  Therefore, ye cannot be saved in your sins."
     The Book of Mormon  and Doctrine and Covenants do not describe a gradual process of repentance or of doing the "best you can."  These scriptures do not speak about us doing a portion and God coming along to make up the rest.  Repentance is tied to forsaking sin.  Forsaking sin is tied to being saved.  In spite of what people say and think, it is clear what these scriptures say about repentance and salvation.  If we are looking to our works and the law, it is clear what the expectation is - perfection.
