CAN YOU DEFEND YOUR FAITH?

The sad truth is most Christians can't even defend their faith because they themselves are ignorant of God's word.

Don't let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ. -- Colossians 2:8
"My people are being destroyed for lack of knowledge..." Hosea 4:6

The Christmas Tree and More...

What does a Christmas tree symbolize? Have you ever wonder why do you set up a tree to celebrate Jesus' assumed birth-date? Why do you decorate it with brilliant colors most especially gold and silver "balls"
   In ancient times around the time of Moses, trees, most especially evergreens were worships by the pagans (Druids)...to them it represent life and renewal. They chose to worship evergreen trees because it always had life. The worship of trees to them represents Life, Fertility, Sexual Potency, and Reproduction. 
   The ritual was performed by cutting a tree and brought home to be worship. Pagan men believe it will heighten their sexual performance, and so the tree was erected "upright" as a PHALLIC symbol or the male organ of reproductions. Pardon me but to illustrate the real detail of this abominations I have to say the truth. Now naturally you have to put balls right? 
   It sounds crazy isn't it? To include symbols of fertility on "supposed" birth of a Messiah? That is why it was very profane in the eyes of God.
   So prophet Jeremiah have to write this warning, are you ready?
   "Hear ye the word which the Lord speaketh unto you, o house of Israel. Thus saith the Lord, learn not the ways of the heathen and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the ax. They deck it with silver and with gold: they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. They are "upright" as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good. -- Jeremiah 10:1-5
   You think it was just pure coincidence when it was written hundreds of years before Christ Jesus? Absolutely not. It has been happening during Jeremiah's time and God have already foretold a future adaptation of this pagan ritual to blaspheme even the birth of Jesus.
   Erecting a male organ inside your house and then your little boys and girls set the stars upon the highest bough? Hmmmm...I would not dare do that to my child. And then they put gifts around that tree, as a form of worship? 
    Oh my dear friends learn NOT the ways of the heathen!!! God said that not me. 


"TAKE HEED to thyself that thou inquire NOT after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? Even so will I do likewise. THOU SHALL NOT do so unto the Lord thy God!! For every abomination to the Lord which HE hateth, have they done unto their gods. Verse 32, "What thing soever I COMMAND you, observe to do it!! Thou shalt not add thereto nor diminish from it. Deuteronomy 12:30-31


   Now here's the worst part. Oh yes that's not all...Satan is not contented in that act; he worsen the mockery of Jesus ministry (Birth, death, and resurrection) and if you take a look at the feet of the Christmas tree -- it was fashioned as a cross!!! 
   If you think that was done to balance the tree and make it stand, then you are still blinded. A spiritual blindness that spit on our LORD's death. 
   A phallic symbol at the top of a cross? 
   Dear brothers and sisters, better wake up. Everything about Christmas is passed to us by the Heathen and yet God said "Learn not" their ways. How long shall we blaspheme God and obey your traditions? 
THE PAGAN DECEPTIONS
   Here are some Heathen or Pagan transformations that you might not recognized or are not aware of:
    1. December 25 is the birthday of Mithra, a Roman sun-god; which is as Diana's (moon goddess) counterpart to symbolized fertility. It has nothing to do with Jesus birth.
   (Experts estimates that Jesus could have been born around late September or early October, since this was the time Augustus Caesar declare census of all Roman provinces, that is why Mary and Joseph have to travel for registration...)
    2. YULETIDE? Have you ever wonder what does that word mean?  The Yule log tradition dates back to Scandinavian countries where their pagan sex and fertility god was called Jul, or Yule. He was honored in a twelve day celebration in the month of December. 
    A Yule Log was lit and put into the "fire place" (hell?) where the same log was used for all 12 days to keep the fire lit...and should I say more why a log? You guess it right. It was another sexy symbolism.
   I'm already having goose-bump just thinking how people have been mocking Jesus everything people greet one another "A yuletide greeting!!!" It is like saying greetings from the bottom of my Pen....Oh never mind, you know what I mean. 
   Sick, Blasphemous, Sacrilegious, and filthy Christmas!!! Would you still celebrate it next year? 
   I was intending to write this blog next year but I feel so guilty if I withhold this any further. I can not just let my friends look foolish in the eyes of Satan, who at this very moment laughing all the way!!!


    3. Mistletoe was sacred to the druid priests and was worshiped by them to cast spells. If held over the head of a woman, she was powerless to resist, and any and all could have their way with her sexually. This is where our tradition of hanging it over a doorway to catch the unsuspecting girl comes in.


    4. Now the most famous character during  Christmas of course is Santa Claus . Now don't marvel anymore after above proof, he is the real reason for the season...
    Santa is actually Satan. That's just a little juggle of letter and the obvious can be seen. Why so simple and vulgar? Because Satan also demands to be worship. He is also called Kris Kringle which is by interpretation "son of God"...
  Why Santa have to "hide" and enter a chimney to insert his gift? Oh this require quite an understanding...but actually was an obvious giveaway from the devil. 
      This is simply to show you that he is going to hell (fireplace?) And he is giving that same gift he deserve to all of your children. He is bringing you all to hell with him for worships of Pagan gods and goddesses.
   He comes to steal, Satan disguised as Santa Claus is a thief...
"I tell you the truth, the man who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. -- John 10:1
    Oh Yes! Every year Satan get his much anticipated worship.  


       Every December He decides who's naughty or nice, and therefore become like God judging mankind. Isn't he the one who rebel and declared "I will be like THE MOST HIGH" 
     His RED dress also had something to declare too. 
   Isaiah 1:18-19 "Come now and let us reason together saith the Lord: though your sins be SCARLET, they shall be as WHITE as snow; though they be RED like crimson, they shall be as wool. If you be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: verse 20, but if you refuse and rebel ye shall be devoured by the sword"








 Now about the gifts of the Spirit, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed. -- 1 Corinthians 12:1

What is Religious Syncretism?


Religious syncretism means the blending together of the various features of the multitude of gods that the gods themselves are molded into one, unified being.

   The image of Jesus Christ you see today on churches and even on films and stage dramatizations where actually a product of Religious Syncretism that was prevalent in ancient time and even during the time of Jesus and continued even during the time of the apostle. Paul noted this observation and were written by Luke on the Book of Acts 17:23 "For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO AN UNKNOWN GOD. Now what you worship as something unknown I am going to proclaim to you." 
   The familiar long haired Jesus most people believed were a very very far depiction of the real Jesus as I have describe on my earlier blogs. In fact, the representation was a mixture of Zeus, Jupiter, Mithra, Helios (sun-god),  ancient Egyptian gods and a whole lot more...Jesus Christ never sport long hair that is why Paul inspired by the Holy Spirit told to the new pagan convert  1 Corinthians 11:14: t "Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him?"

   The Presbyterian minister from Wales, Peter Barnes, in his excellent booklet titled "Seeing Jesus -- The Case Against Pictures of our Lord Jesus Christ" (Banner of Truth publications, 1990) has the following illustration to show the nonsense of making another person to represent Jesus.
"Many Christians argue that it does not matter [if we show a wrong picture of Jesus]; we can picture Christ irrespective of whether the result is accurate or not. But it would be strange if a wife, when her husband was away, were to look continually at the photograph of another man, and then contend that it did not matter because she was thinking of her husband."
  • p.4

    The sad truth about the matter is that they did not just change the image of Jesus (like putting halo or sundisc on icons head) they also morph the Christian faith into other pagan form of worship and practices. They circumvent the Lord's suffer into an actual old time practice of Mithraic religion of eating the sun-god or the wafer god. They even adopted the b-day of Mithra on Dec. 25 as Christmas day. But clearly from history and Biblical fact that Jesus was nowhere near born on that season. I have written about all of these before and I feel the need to stress the fact that YOUR TYPE OF CHRISTIANITY IF YOU FOLLOW ANY OF THESE PAGAN PRACTICES ARE ABOMINATION TO GOD!!!! 
   SHOCK BY THE BIBLE!!! This was my initial reaction when I have read it first during my high-school days. Everything my former church told me was "Against" the word of God. Why was that? If my former faith was from God, then it would have confirm what I have been reading but the opposite was actually there. 
   If you truly obey God and believe The Holy Bible, which is by the way used by their preacher and priest during sermon, you would have followed its command. I was wondering if they are actually reading it from the heart or just blabbing for the sake of reading?
   Minor detail as making christmas tree is also forbidden by God...and it is a shock that this so-called expert in God's law overlook this matter?! What a shame, blind leading another blind. Repetitive prayers or chanting is also forbidden by Jesus so why this was practice fervently during novena and rosary? Paying for prayers? Paying for Baptism? Paying for praying for the dead? 
    I hope the people reading this blog will re-think their faith in these type of pagan religion. That religion is nothing but materialism, commercialism, and far worse is leading themselves with its follower to HELL.
   I'm not going to use so many Biblical passages to confirm what I am saying. Go pick up a Bible and read with the intention to "know" what God really said. Don't listen to your priest or Sunday school teacher telling you not to read it because it was so mysterious and hard to understand. That was a total crap! They were just afraid to be expose of their lies. Satan was so afraid that you discover the truth. 
    How come, the word of God make us confuse? Tell me?  

   If you think Constantine converted to Christianity think again. The Roman Religion did not change their gods. They just change the name of their gods but still continue to practice IDOLATRY. They change the name of Mithra into Jesus. Other minor gods or lords are change into saints or angels. 
   Where are the real Christians? They went into hiding because Rome order them to be hunted and fed to the lions, hang on the cross, burn at the stake, and all other cruelty the famous Universal church can think of. What are the crimes charge against Christians? 
Reading the Bible.
Translating the Bible into simple language.
Not observing Christmas.
Not worshiping the idols of Jesus and the saints.
Not accepting ash on their foreheads.
(They term this crime as HERESY)

   Oh yes ladies and gentlemen. Christians were being brutally killed for not tolerating the Roman Religion. They silence "real" Christians who were trained by the apostle and the result was a counterfeit christianity base on traditions and worships of many gods.
    If you think Religious Syncretism was passe and an old issue. Observe ecumenicism. Ecumenical teachings by the pope is one and the same. Received and accept all forms of religion. Idolatry in disguise my dear readers. 

"The idea that all peoples worshiped the same gods under different names had long been held by the Greeks; syncretism in religion made it common in Roman times. Various deities were given the attributes of others, and this process was extended to merge the deities into one. The old polytheism was kept by regarding the deities as subordinate powers under the supreme god. Astral theologians contributed a new concept of the universe which identified this supreme god with the sun."

Prophesy Concerning the Coming Messiah

Who has gone up to heaven and come down? Who has gathered up the wind in the hollow of his hands? Who has wrapped up the waters in his cloak? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and the name of his son? Tell me if you know! -- Proverbs 30:4
   
   Bible scholars said there were over 400 specific prophesy that Jesus of Nazareth fulfilled. New Testament writers mentioned only few of these fulfilled prophesy because they don't need to elaborate on these things because their intended readers are already aware of the coming Messiah and had been reading or had been listening to oral records from their teachers of the law; and prophesies is obviously being discussed almost daily because they had been waiting for The Christ. Someone that will save them. This coming Messiah is someone that you can overheard being spoken in the market place or told by your parents, if you are living during that time. If Jesus did not fulfill anyone one of this signs, he is surely not he claimed to be because the Apostle are dealing here with Old Testament experts.
   Now it is impossible for me to discuss all the 400 prophesies because I am not a Bible scholar but there are obvious verses that can't be denied as "real" fulfillment of a future event written in the past.   
   First, let me stress the fact that the prophesy concerning the Messiah's arrival were written more than a hundred and even thousands of years before they were fulfilled in the life of Jesus. They were so accurate that Jesus critics claimed it was a conspiracy concocted by Jesus and his followers...or later to be called Christians.
   If Jesus and his followers would do these, being followers of Old Testament religion they are not just simply exposing themselves to the discovery of fraud but also attempting an impossible feat. Why? First, they have to silence the crowd too because what Jesus will attempt is very dangerous....he will plan a suicide (by the hands of their enemies both the Jewish Leaders and the Roman Government) and next, far more extravagant is that he will actually survive the sentence after 3 days. Convincing those people who hate you, to make your dreams come true isn't something a normal sane guy would do.
   Another they must invent was the 400 earlier prophesies being written more than a thousand years ago by different authors. Jesus must qualify to all these prerequisite qualities beyond any shadow of doubt. 
   If Jesus then is a fraudster. He is the only person I know who is willing to suffer death...and expect followers and popularity later. 





How could someone “arrange” to be born in a specific family? How does someone “arrange” in advance to have his parents give birth to him in a specified city, not their own? How does one “arrange” to be virgin born? How does one “arrange” to be considered a prophet “like Moses”? How does someone “arrange” (a) his own death, including being put to death by the strange method of crucifixion, (b) being put to death, not alone, but with company, specifically two criminals and (c) then “arrange” to have his executioners gamble for his clothes during the execution?
   And how does one “arrange” to have God inform and send the proper “messenger” to go before one? How does one “arrange” to be betrayed for a specific amount of money (30 pieces of silver)? How does one “arrange” in advance that his executioners will carry out their regular practice of breaking the legs of the two victims on either side of him, but not his? Finally, how does a pretender to being the Messiah “arrange” to be God? How does he escape from a grave and appear to people after he has been killed?

   I don't know about you, after reading the following verses if this could be concocted by a small group of uneducated Jews. Take note that after Jesus died the Jesus Movement immediately flourish so there is no way for any myth to appear. The Book of Acts clearly records how these former cowardice followers became instantly bold in declaring Jesus resurrection and divinity...in the face of those who had witnessed the execution of Jesus. We heard no one rejecting of any gossips that Jesus died and even declare in loud voice that Jesus is ALIVE. In fact, history was silent on this issue. What we learn from ancient historian are they do all dirty tactics and try all they can to silence Christians but never dispute their claims of Jesus coming back to life.

The following are written thousands of years before Jesus came into flesh...

Psalm 22:18

King James Version (KJV)
 18They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.

Isaiah 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

Psalm 22:16

New International Version (NIV)
 16 Dogs surround me,
   a pack of villains encircles me;
   they pierce my hands and my feet.


   I will just point out here that the above verse was written nearly 800 years before the invention of the extreme penalty called crucifixion.

   Also how can someone plan where he is going to be born, especially if you are not a resident of that place? 

Micah 5:2

King James Version (KJV)
 2But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.

Matthew 27:3-10

New International Version (NIV)
 3 When Judas, who had betrayed him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was seized with remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders. 4 “I have sinned,” he said, “for I have betrayed innocent blood.”   “What is that to us?” they replied. “That’s your responsibility.” 5 So Judas threw the money into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself. 6 The chief priests picked up the coins and said, “It is against the law to put this into the treasury, since it is blood money.”7 So they decided to use the money to buy the potter’s field as a burial place for foreigners. 8 That is why it has been called the Field of Blood to this day. 9 Then what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price set on him by the people of Israel, 10 and they used them to buy the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.”

Zechariah 11:12-13

New International Version (NIV)


 12 I told them, “If you think it best, give me my pay; but if not, keep it.” So they paid me thirty pieces of silver.
 13 And the LORD said to me, “Throw it to the potter”—the handsome price at which they valued me! So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them to the potter at the house of the LORD.

Isaiah 7:14

New International Version (NIV)
14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.

Isaiah 53:9-12

21st Century King James Version (KJ21)


 9And He made His grave with the wicked, and with the rich in His death, because He had done no violence, neither was any deceit in His mouth.
   
 10Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise Him; He hath put Him to grief. When thou shalt make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in His hand.
   
 11He shall see of the travail of His soul, and shall be satisfied. By His knowledge shall My righteous Servant justify many, for He shall bear their iniquities.
   
 12Therefore will I divide Him a portion with the great, and He shall divide the spoil with the strong, because He hath poured out His soul unto death. And He was numbered with the transgressors; and He bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.




God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of it. (Acts 2:32)

Bible Interpretation for Average Readers


2 Peter 1:20
King James Version (KJV)
 20Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

When you heard a preacher claims that he or she had been given a vision to interpret the world of God, immediately be suspicious because it is more likely that they have no authority coming from God at all but are impostor. 
  After St. John have finished writing the last book of the Bible, this sealed the entire old and new testament books... 
Revelation 22:18-19
King James Version (KJV)
 18For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
 19And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
   It simply means there is no more added gospel.I can not interpret the Bible on my own way. I can not share what I think it means. I must tell what The Bible said as it is. 
   With the help of the Holy Spirit who will interprets and show things to us...

In 2 Timothy 3:16, the apostle Paul wrote:
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.
   If the Bible is profitable for a Christian, why was it that it is confusing and it seems different denominations have it's own interpretations? How can we an average believer comprehend or at least recognize a false teaching?



The Variant Meanings and Interpretations 
   With so many different interpretations available, how is anyone supposed to know which is the correct one?
   From Paul's epistle he assured his readers that he faithfully handle the Word of God...
2 Corinthians 4:2
New International Version (NIV)
2 Rather, we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God.
2 Corinthians 4:2
King James Version (KJV)
 2But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
   Above two verses are the same but are rendered differently...by comparison of the two, this could lead into different directions. So what do we do? Listen again to Paul how he advise Timothy...

2 Timothy 2:15
King James Version (KJV)
 15Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
The Key
   The key therefore, is that we study the word of God not for the approval of any man, woman, denominations, traditions, self, organizations or personalities...but for whom? God. 
   What most denominations wont tell us is that they share only those things that will sell or uplift their church...Not those things that will expose their fraudulent practices. The Mormons will teach you that the Bible is not complete, the Jehovah Witness will find hundreds of ways to tell you the proper name of God, the Catholic will teach you that bowing down to idols is not a sin, etcetera....
   But that's not the case we are suppose to defend our faith. Our ultimate purpose for reading the Word of God (and of course having understanding and not just for the sake of reading...because we are told to do so) We have genuine love for God. Period. We read because we want to know more of God. Not to discredit other faith and practices...we aim for the approval of God.
   Further, Paul liken Biblical study into a workman that is not ashamed...dividing the word of truth. 
   The Bible alone is sufficient. An average man can understand some part of the Bible without any "Authoritative teachings" the same way early believers when they first heard Jesus preaching during his ministries. 
There are the obvious truth
   Unbelievers even without the Bible as basis  have their idea of what is good and bad. Human beings are pre-programmed to functions as social beings. We need other human to survive and that is a fact. Some species of Monkeys (if not all) after just few minutes from birth  already had some ability to survive even with only little care coming from their parents, the same with most animals. That is to say, we need to learn other abilities from another human being. From other adults we discover and adopt "worldviews" and beliefs. Those beliefs does not necessarily mean they are the ultimate truth. As we grow we discover that some are just fable or old-wives tales. Some to scare us or simply told to prevent us from being hurt even if they are just imaginary things. What I mean to say here is that there are truths that eventually wore out to be non-truth. Truth that we no longer need as we mature. But there are truth that are unchangeable. 
   Most real truth can be determined by the five senses and on this area, we can easily agree. The problem arises on the so called spiritual realm. This is where our realities vary and to some, the spiritual realm does not exist at all. 
   Now, I elaborate on the above illustration to make you focus on Truth that are obvious and need no further discussion. I suggest,you take the same method in reading the inspired word of God. 
   Christians who sincerely seek God will in time discover the truth. As I've said, truth have their level of revelations also. So, if you feel certain area is hard to grasp, wait for the Holy Spirit to reveal them to you. Do not assume and I mean NEVER assume you knew. 
   I also strongly suggest that you make some research. That is why we go to church, to hear other people's knowledge about the Scripture and their personal experience with God. Again, some of the people knowledge may not be the truth nor his experiences may not be applicable to you. So here is where discernment needed. I also advise that you conduct a Comparative Study. 
   Compare one Bible version to other versions.
   Compare one teaching to another sermons. (Avoid Bias Remarks)
   Compare one church to other churches.
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.-- 1 John 4:1
    It is very clear here that Christians need more that just faith. He need more than just One Book. If he is not to be deceived he must work hard. Give extra push because the serpent we are are dealing have some spiritual advantages. That is why we need God more than ever. 
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.-- Ephesians 6:12

Remove Paradigm
   One thing I've learn in my research is that most materials tend to shroud certain beliefs or written to protect its own religion. Although they are not bad at all because we have windows of opportunities to discover more, the tendency of most preacher is to exaggerate the truth that will magnify their order but play soft or ignore those that are in conflict with their principles. 
   Listening to both sides will give you a better picture than just listening to your Local Pastor saying "They are wrong...we are right." How can we know they are wrong if we only take other people's opinion from them? 
   A paradigm is according to Answer.com: A set of assumptions, concepts, values, and practices that constitutes a way of viewing reality for the community that shares them, especially in an intellectual discipline.
   The first thing we must have in mind is to discover the intentions of the Book. Remember the Bible is a collections of books and letters written by different authors therefore writing styles may vary. For example it's wrong to interpret a parable from a historical note. The same way to make literal reading with prophesy compare to how to behave in a church. 

   Lastly, avoid argument...the word of God is there to clarify not to create divisions. It is hard to remove scars, often times it leaves a permanent mark and it would need some surgery to be totally invisible. That is the same with paradigm or concepts, we can not change a person's mind if he had made up his mind. The least we could do is to pray for that person and let the Holy Spirit reveal the understanding. So, in the same way, as you read this blog, there are some things you may not agree with what I am saying. Therefore, I pray that God will let me see the truth also if I am wrong.

Science Misinformation Campaign


 Mainstream science told us that we can know how old the universe by Hubble measurement. The term they use to tell age of cosmic event is Light Years. Come on; stop the crap of calling light years as measurement of time. Obviously the term are being used to mislead the general public. Light Year is a unit of distance NOT time. Their data telling us that the universe is Billion and billions of years old are unverifiable and obvious brainwashing. 
   They want to make us believe that the universe is very old so that they can justify the Big Bang theory, which states everything happen by chance and the formation of the universe took Billions and billions of years to happen.  As you can see, they can’t make anything just appear instantly by Random/Chance in a very short time. So what they do is twist real science to fit their model of the universe. The longer the time frames, the better the chance of an accident to happen (Randomness). But what they are NOT telling us (in simple laymen terms) is that they had been wrong so far, and they are keeping it a secret, so they can get away from humiliations.
   What Big Bang theorist wishes to achieved is to discredit the Bible that states “…and God said, Let there be light, and there was light.” There is no gap of billions and billions of years there…just a one sentence breath from God can make everything to happen.
   Big Bang assumes, there was an original high concentration of energy somewhere in space. As far as I know it is impossible for anything to happen in a vacuum. Yes, it is still a vacuum space since air or any type of gas still non-existent. It is like this according to them, “In the beginning there was an original high concentration of energy …” NOW wait a minute! From where is that energy again?!
   Since Science is reason, there must be a logical reason where did it come from?
   It was just there. Ah Ok. Continue…
   Suddenly this concentration decided to explode. WAIT A MINUTE AGAIN!!! Why did it explode?
   My grade school science teacher told me in order for anything to explode; you at least must have a vibration and frictions…Sadly, we can’t find those things on BIG BANG science textbook…any details at all but just assumptions.
Ah! At this point I think there’s no reasons to continue since what you are going to tell me is another science fiction…from this explosion the cloud gas in some miraculous chance able to gather dust (from where this particle came we cannot tell) and after billions of years they form stars and planets and so forth….
   I just can’t buy those stupid explanations if I were a scientist. Immaterial things; creating matter? That was ancient imaginations not factual science.
. Theory says the only elements made would be hydrogen and helium. Helium does not form molecules. So the only molecule that can be formed is molecular hydrogen. Molecular hydrogen is easily destroyed by UV light and usually needs dust grains to form. The dust grains require heavier elements. Since the stars make the heavier elements then they can’t exist, so the only material that can cool is atomic hydrogen, and this would leave the matter over 100 times too hot to collapse.Abraham Loeb of Harvard’s Center for Astrophysics says The truth is that we don’t understand star formation at a fundamental level (1).1. Chown, M., "Let there be Light", New Scientist 157(2120) pp 26-30, Feb. 1998.

   Maybe you start believing in a Spiritual Non-fiction explanation found in Genesis. Was it hard to believe that God created the heaven and the earth in just 6 days? But that was what you are telling in your Science Journals.
  Science is just adding “billions” to seconds. That is deception as far as I’m concern.

Now let us examine how OLD earth really is…
 Let me borrow some of your Scientist statement regarding the earth’s age according to what they have observed:
   Evolutionist claim: diversity of species is developed through gradual processes over many generations.
   If that is the case…then why an evolutionist like Robert Carroll would wrote this in his book,
, " Perhaps we should not be surprised that vertebrate paleontologists did not support the prevailing view of slow, progressive evolution but tended to elaborate theories involving saltation, orthogenesis, or other vitalistic hypotheses. Most of the evidence provided by the fossil record DOES NOT SUPPORT (my emphasis) a strictly gradualistic interpretation, as pointed out by Eldridge and Gould (1972), Gould and Eldridge (1977), Gould (1985), and Stanley (1979, 1982)."(1)
1. Carroll, R., "Vertebrate Paleontology and Evolution", W. H. Freeman and Co., New York, 1988, p. 4.
The evolutionist Stephen Jay Gould stated, "The absence of fossil evidence for intermediary stages between major transitions in organic design, indeed our inability, even in our imagination, to construct functional intermediates in many cases, has been the persistent and nagging problem of gradualistic accounts of evolution."
The evolutionist Colin Patterson stated in response to a letter written concerning his book, "I fully agree with your comments on the lack of direct illustration of evolutionary transitions in my book. If I knew of any, fossil or living, I certainly would have included them…..I will lay it on the line, there is not one such fossil for which I can make a watertight argument"


Radiometric As Standard Physical Science?
   Perhaps you have heard carbon dating when we want to estimate the age of fossils…how did it really work was really suspicious from the start. Let us read how this witchcraft was conducted.
Radioactive isotopes are unstable and spontaneously decays, emitting particles and / or wavelike radiation. It cannot be predicted exactly when, if ever, an unstable nucleus will decay, but a large group of identical nuclei decay at a predictable rate. This predictability of decay rate allows radioactivity to be used for estimating the age of materials that contain radioactive substances.
   That was NOT science at all but GUESSING. This Age Measurement is nothing but pure speculations and even outright deceptions. There have been many valid experiments demonstrating the half-life of these nuclei can be altered under the correct conditions.
   What evolutionist is doing is not science but Sorcery. They want us to accept what they think whether this had no basis or mere imaginations. Was these just like hypnotism.?



If an intelligent designer is rejected as non-science, then you must be able to explain the origin of life as random chance from lifeless material. – Patrick H. Young

Ashamed of the Gospel?

Romans 1:16–17 (ESV) For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.”
When I decided creating this website about a year ago, it had been my desire to truly share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 
Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.-- John 17:3
   Even before the advent of internet, I already have made some notes and reading since my conversion around 1985. I can't help but share the new life I found in Jesus Christ...and I also had this compassion on people seeing they are being led astray; simply because of ignorance.  No one is telling them the truth and most are still worshiping God in vain. I don't think there is a shortage of preacher with good intentions...but not as wise as their real enemy. Satan and his cohorts are constantly weaving deceptions and if a Christian is not updated, there is a very strong tendency that he or she too can be misled.
   When you love someone you want to know more about that person. Do you love God? Where can we know more about God? 
   No other book is as time tested than the BIBLE. No matter what it's detractor are saying, it still stood the test of time. (Read: Was the original Bible preserve? and Why the Bible is Real)
On Other Issues
   Most pastor; although I am not blaming them, tend to stay within their congregation. Maybe a little outreach here and there but mostly stayed on the safe side of the issue
   I have a different calling...or passion. I want to tackle serious and relevant issues. Like who would care to preach to you if Jesus had long hair or not? or who will share to you New World Order in the pulpit? Who will tell you the Political stand point of Christians? Does your preacher tells you that "soul-mate" is not Biblical or where the origin of false practices came from? or How Darwinism had changed much of our worldview?
   Those issues are important but can't easily be obtained in Churches. So, I made my research asking God for guidance to lead me with the right resources. What I discover are vast collections of truths that are kept away from public knowledge.  
 I intend to write areas that are not discussed (either avoided or neglected by other Ministers)The driving verse of this blog are those what you can read at the header of this blog. 
Don't let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ. -- Colossians 2:8


"My people are being destroyed for lack of knowledge..." Hosea 4:6
  The above verses as the measuring tools for this blog. I make thorough research on articles...and also simply re-post items from sources to give my reader wider scope on other related issues. I also share another faith's belief system in some cases to stress my point or when I am still on the process of digesting articles that I have NO further knowledge at the moment. We are told to test every spirit so in like manner I simply collect data before making further commentaries.  

Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.-- 1 John 4:1

   I am not ashamed of the Gospel. I've been experiencing insults and persecution by these...BUT I rejoice because I shared with the cross that Our Lord bear.

Romans 8:17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs--heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.   
   Gospel is good news and therefore needed to be shared. Almost all Christian share their faith but I notice something quite troubling how other Christians treat the Gospel. We sometimes soften the Bible message so that we may fit in the crowd. We sometimes just simply turn our head away or close our eyes when we saw our friend or relative kneeling before idols. Christians may have forgotten that, it is also a sin not to do the right thing when needed. 
   One must remember that when a Christian withhold the truth, if he had the chance to say, is also a SIN. 
   Having many friend is commendable...but to be afraid to lose friendship, so that we shut our mouth in telling the truth is like being the Priest and Levite  from the Good Samaritan story. (The Good Samaritan)
Luke 10:30-37 Jesus answered, "A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who both stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead. By chance a certain priest was going down that way. When he saw him, he passed by on the other side.  In the same way a Levite also, when he came to the place, and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a certain Samaritan, as he traveled, came where he was. When he saw him, he was moved with compassion, came to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. He set him on his own animal, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, and gave them to the host, and said to him, ‘Take care of him. Whatever you spend beyond that, I will repay you when I return.’ Now which of these three do you think seemed to be a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?" He said, "He who showed mercy on him." Then Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise."
   Most Christians only share the GOOD NEWS of the Bible but avoid the BAD NEWS which was also written therein. 


Jeremiah 23:16 This is what the LORD Almighty says: "Do not listen to what the prophets are prophesying to you; they fill you with false hopes. They speak visions from their own minds, not from the mouth of the LORD.
