What about the dinosaurs?


What Really Happened to the Dinosaurs?
"Dinosaurs are used more than almost anything else to indoctrinate children and adults in the idea of millions of years of earth history. However, the Bible gives us a framework for explaining dinosaurs in terms of thousands of years of history, including the mystery of when they lived and what happened to them. Two key texts are Genesis 1:24–25 and Job 40:15–24."

Read this article from Answers in Genesis to learn the truth about dinosaurs, evolution and man.

I am posting this link as a service to the many Christians who honestly do not know what happened to dinosaurs. The church has done an extremely poor job of teaching its people the truth regarding the history of man as it is recorded in Genesis. It is as if the record of the people in the Genesis account were some kind of morality play instead of the word of God.

You do not have to "go against science" or have "blind" faith to know what the truth is relating to dinosaurs and evolution. Read this article and the other materials this ministry has to rest secure in the knowledge of the truth.

For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools,and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures. (Romans 1:20-23)

Hopefully this knowledge will help strengthen your faith and give you "Answers in Genesis." (1 Peter 3:15)

Mother of God?

At some point someone might think, Well, if Mary is the mother of Jesus. And Jesus is God. Doesn't that make Mary the mother of God?" Isn't that logical?

Well, "somebody" has thought of that and the Catholic Church made it a dogma of the (Roman Catholic) faith. Thus Mary was proclaimed theotokos, "Mother of God" at the Ephesus Council in 431 AD.

At what point would you think that real logic would intervene in this fatuous reverie?

How is it remotely possible that the infinite Creator of the universe and all that is in it, The Eternal, could have a mother? When was it The Eternal One was born?

Mary was the mother of Jesus, the Son of Man. God with us, (Immanuel) (Luke 1:30-33) who came and dwelt in human flesh so that He might suffer and die to redeem us from the sin in which we so readily wallow. (Eph. 1:7, Heb. 9:15)

I in no way wish to belittle Mary. For who in the history of (wo)man is like her? And of whom has it been said, by an angel no less, "Greetings favored one. The Lord is with you." (Luke 1:28) No, indeed Mary stands high enough on her own merit as a human being, and the mother of Jesus.

Yet she was a human being who did not understand what it was her Son was doing. (Luke 2:49-51, John 2:1-4) A human being who desperately needed to be saved, redeemed from the wretched sin nature she posessed as a daughter of Eve. (Gen. 3:17, 20, Rom. 3:10, 3:23)

Bless Mary for her faithfulness by which our Lord came to dwell in human form, for nursing Him and raising Him up to be a man.

And bless your mother for bringing you into this world, for giving you life. Bless her with the gift beyond measure- share with her the love of Jesus Christ which dwells in your heart because you have also been born again. (John 3:4-7)

New Counter

I have added a new counter to the right hand column of this blog.

Underneath my picture you will see the number of innocent children MURDERED since the time you opened this page.

It is impossible to truly fathom it, but as the numbers fly by-
each and every one of those fleeting images is a human life.

A human life snuffed out before it ever sees the light of day.
One that may have discovered the cure for cancer,
or that grew up to become the next Billy Graham.

I don't know. I just don't know.
God deliver us from the great judgment we so richly deserve.

Chance (?)

I cannot imagine the faith necessary to believe in evolution after viewing the vast cosmos we know as our heavens.
For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures. Romans 1:20-23
As we look out into the vast expanses of space, we also now look in-- to the vast intricacies of life. For those of us who studied Biology in school, recall that ATP is the energy source used by all living cells, I offer the following video to consider:


I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well. Psalm 139:14

I defy anyone to explain away the hand of a designer in this one key, of many such keys, required for a living cell to function. I am so happy that I have a living God. One who knows me and keeps me. (And keeps me together! Col. 1:17)

p.s. Having also studied Mechanical Engineering I was dumbfounded at the sheer mechanical structure of this proton rotor!
