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

Could this be The 7 Trumpets of Revelations?
The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water— the name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter. Revelations 8: 10-11
I am still contemplating on these two video presentations whether all the detail assumes by the producer of this video corresponds to the actual events listed in The Book of Revelations; although I agree on some the undeniable detail like that of the scorpions and lions, which I've sometime ago share on this blog. About the stunning illustrations that St. John describes regarding vehicles and weapons of war around two thousands of years ago.
Obviously there is no way how John could have described helicopters and tank without actually seeing them in a vision. John's First century vocabulary was limited and therefore would simply compare the visions on things he already knew like chariots, horses, scorpions, and lions...
In the clip it was noted that Chernobyl was the same English word Wormwood in Ukraine and that Saddam in ancient Persian means the destroyer. There were also other detail pointed out that maybe you can help me discern with the help of the Holy Spirit of course whom Jesus promised to aid us in recognizing the truth.
Who are the four angels release at the Great Euphrates river?
I've included the two chapters being studied here and highlighted the important detail that we must look into...I also would like to focus on the last two verses at the bottom of this article because that is the whole essence why Revelations was written--as a WARNING!
Revelation 8
The Seventh Seal and the Golden Censer1 When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.2 And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.3 Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all God’s people, on the golden altar in front of the throne. 4The smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of God’s people, went up before God from the angel’s hand. 5 Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and hurled it on the earth; and there came peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning and an earthquake.The Trumpets6 Then the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared to sound them.7 The first angel sounded his trumpet, and there came hail and fire mixed with blood, and it was hurled down on the earth. A third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.8 The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a huge mountain, all ablaze, was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned into blood, 9 a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.10 The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water— 11 the name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter.12 The fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them turned dark. A third of the day was without light, and also a third of the night.13 As I watched, I heard an eagle that was flying in midair call out in a loud voice: “Woe! Woe! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the trumpet blasts about to be sounded by the other three angels!”
Revelation 9
1 The fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. The star was given the key to the shaft of the Abyss. 2 When he opened the Abyss, smoke rose from it like the smoke from a gigantic furnace. The sun and sky were darkened by the smoke from the Abyss. 3And out of the smoke locusts came down on the earth and were given power like that of scorpions of the earth. 4 They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree, but only those people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads. 5 They were not allowed to kill them but only to torture them for five months. And the agony they suffered was like that of the sting of a scorpion when it strikes. 6 During those days people will seek death but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them.
7 The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle. On their heads they wore something like crowns of gold, and their faces resembled human faces. 8 Their hair was like women’s hair, and their teeth were like lions’ teeth. 9 They had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the thundering of many horses and chariots rushing into battle.10 They had tails with stingers, like scorpions, and in their tails they had power to torment people for five months. 11They had as king over them the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon and in Greek is Apollyon (that is, Destroyer).
12 The first woe is past; two other woes are yet to come.
13 The sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a voice coming from the four horns of the golden altar that is before God. 14 It said to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.” 15 And the four angels who had been kept ready for this very hour and day and month and year were released to kill a third of mankind. 16 The number of the mounted troops was twice ten thousand times ten thousand. I heard their number.
17 The horses and riders I saw in my vision looked like this: Their breastplates were fiery red, dark blue, and yellow as sulfur. The heads of the horses resembled the heads of lions, and out of their mouths came fire, smoke and sulfur. 18 A third of mankind was killed by the three plagues of fire, smoke and sulfur that came out of their mouths. 19 The power of the horses was in their mouths and in their tails; for their tails were like snakes, having heads with which they inflict injury.
Eli Eli Lama Sabachthani
"Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour there was darkness over all the land. And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, 'Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?' that is, 'My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?' " (Matthew 27:45-46, NKJV)
Just before Our Lord died on the cross, he uttered somewhat a cry of defeat: Eli Eli Lama Sabachthani, in Hebrew. Did Jesus really doubted His Father at that time? After all, when Jesus volunteered to become just a man, He removed some of His God qualities. Therefore He was now susceptible to pain just like any mortal men. The agonizing pain of being hanged there for hours plus the fact of a pain unimaginable aren't something any ordinary human could easily bear as expert have to invent new word to describe the terrible torture which was then called excruciating. Excruciating literally mean from Greek "out of the cross".
The people present who have heard it thought He was calling unto Elijah and they shouted "Let him alone. Let us see if Elijah will come to save him." (verse 49) The people at that time failed to realized that Jesus was actually revealing who he really was. He is not complaining to God the Father but revealing his real identity; even up until his time of death.
It is interesting that even at the cross, in moment of near death, Jesus is still quoting a Psalm.
"My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me? Why are You so far from helping Me, and from the words of My groaning? O My God, I cry in the daytime, but You do not hear; And in the night season, and am not silent." (Psalm 22:1-2)
THE FULFILLMENT
Is Jesus simply praying a Psalm to strengthen his spirit? Probably, but then if you read further into that specific Psalm you will read this stunning revelation in verse 16 to 18...

16 Dogs surround me,
a pack of villains encircles me;
they pierce my hands and my feet.
17 All my bones are on display;
people stare and gloat over me.
18 They divide my clothes among them
and cast lots for my garment. (Psalms 22:16-18)

18 They divide my clothes among them

Isn't it amazingly accurate!!! Jesus was trying to point out to the people what was happening at that very hour was actually a fulfillment of that Prophetic Psalm. Christianity detractor and unbeliever even agree that it was incredibly so accurate that they suspect the thousand year old Psalm was a modern forgery.
The hoax can't be possible, since the Jewish sect who hated Jesus and His disciple would easily expose the plagiary. IF the above verses from Psalm 22 was inserted by early Christians then it would fail to convince the skeptic Bereans who double check the Scriptures every time they speak.
Historical record also had no contest against that statement. In the Book of Acts, there was a very brave statement coming from Peter, that none of there enemy can retaliate. Let us focus on some of the verses that caught the attention of the people in Judea:
Peter was speaking to eyewitnesses here. The silence of historian and contemporary opposition was enough proof already...Tacitus the respected Roman historian of that time recorded the death of Jesus was factual and there was no argument coming from any source about the matter. Except Nero who intentionally burn Rome and blame them to Christ follower.

14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, raised his voice and said to them, “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and heed my words. 15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day.The speech would have been easily discredited by those people listening. Peter is saying "Hey! You were there when Jesus was crucified, he was buried in a landmark (Remember the tomb of a Sanhedrin Joseph of Arimathea was used as burial site). You have witness that Jesus was risen again. He ate with us, he was with us for 40 days...and that 500 or so men have seen him taken up into heaven..."

The silence of historian and contemporary opposition was enough proof already...Tacitus the respected Roman historian of that time recorded the death of Jesus was factual and there was no argument coming from any source about the matter.

Did You see? the Roman government can't find any loopholes against first Christians claim that Jesus indeed rose from the dead. They have to resort to other means to destroy this faith. The enemy of Jesus could have just parade His body to the street of Judea and proclaim "Here's your Messiah, Look!" But they could not because they can't find the body.

HOW CAN I KNOW IF I AM SAVED? A SELF-TEST
(The following are 12 point test written by David Bay)
HOW CAN I KNOW IF I AM SAVED? A SELF-TEST
Since the evidence of genuine salvation is the presence of the Holy Spirit within the individual, how can this be verified? How can we be reasonably certain about ourselves, as well as others, without being guilty of judging? To answer this, let's take our own case first-there are several "tests" that we can take to determine His presence within us: (all Scripture quotes from Parallel Bible, KJV/Amplified Bible Commentary).
- 1. Romans 8:16 tells us: "The Spirit Himself [thus] testifies together with our own spirit, [assuring us] that we are children of God." First and foremost, we have the unshakable testimony from within us! The indwelling Holy Spirit of God constantly reassures us that we belong to Jesus Christ.
2. The entire book of First John was written as a "test" for determining the reality of salvation. Verse three of Chapter one tells us: "What we have seen and [ourselves] heard we are also telling you, so that you too may realize and enjoy fellowship as partners and partakers with us. And [this] fellowship that we have (which is a distinguishing mark of Christians) is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ, the Messiah." The fellowship enjoyed by genuine Christians is proof positive of salvation. Those who claim Christ, but yet rarely attend church to worship God and associate with other believers, are possibly fooling themselves! A backslidden Christian can stay out of church and away from other believers, but I can guarantee you from first-hand experience that there will never be a time when you will be comfortable with it! On the other side of the coin, verse 8 teaches us that if we deny the existence of sin within us, the Truth is not in us. Verse 3 of Chapter two teaches us that we are genuine and "growing in grace and knowledge of Christ", if we keep His commandments. Verse 10 teaches us that we are of Christ if we love the brethren. Again, those who habitually absent themselves from God's house and do not make it clear that they love being around God's children, are very likely to be tares and not wheat. Verse 15 teaches us that if anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. "Worldly Christians" is almost a contradiction in terms and those who claim Christ, but yet cling to the value system of this world-are suspect.
3. 1 John 5:13 informs us that the entire Book of 1 John was written so that we can know that we possess eternal life in Christ. Do you know for absolute certainty that, if you were to die tonight, you would go to Heaven?
4. The Word of God teaches that the Bible is incomprehensible to the "natural man"-the unsaved individual. It is a spiritual book and the unsaved person is not only spiritually blind, but 1 Corinthians 2:14 tells us that he "is incapable" of knowing that which is spiritually discerned. Do you understand the Bible? Does it make sense to you and speak to your heart? Does it convict you of your sin and teach you the right way?
5. The Bible is very clear that an unregenerate individual will not seek God (Rom.3:11). Are you painfully aware of your sinful nature and cry out to God from your heart for forgiveness when you sin? If so, this is one of the signs of having been born again.
Is your soul, your conscience, sorely vexed when you see sin in the culture around you? When you see blatant sin in public, or on TV, or in Entertainment, or anywhere else you encounter it, do you feel a severe vexation in your spirit? The Bible says of Lot, who was foolish enough to live and do business in Sodom: "(God) delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds)" [2 Peter 2:7-8]
If your heart is "vexed" by the terrible sin in our daily culture, that is a good sign you are saved. If your spirit is not vexed by this sin, that is a good sign you are not saved.
6. The Bible says that an unregenerate individual is a slave of Satan and incapable of doing anything about it (Eph.2:2). Have you been able to turn your back upon this world and its sinful ways? Are all of your close friends Christians? If you have been born again, your unsaved friends will drop you like a bad habit! (Just as an illustration, spray a small amount of "WD-40" lubricant on a surface wet with water and watch how fast the water retreats! A genuine dose of salvation is like the WD-40 where reprobate buddies are concerned.)
7. Do you love--really love--Christians and would rather be with them than anyone else? Can you meet a total stranger, find out that they are a believer, and then have instant fellowship with them? Is there "something" in your heart that draws you to them and establishes a closeness which cannot be explained any other way? [We alluded to this feature in Paragraph 2, above]
8. Do you actually enjoy giving to the Lord's work? Do you give generously of your time, talent, and treasury?
9. Do you sin less now than you did prior to receiving Christ?
10. Have other people seen the "fruit of the Spirit" at work in your life? That is, can they see genuine love, joy, peace, long-suffering, etc., (Gal.5:22), being wrought in and through you by God's Holy Spirit? Do they sense that you are a different person from the one you used to be?
11. Have you experienced persecution because of your faith in Christ? (Former friends who back away because of your testimony for Christ, are a subtle form of persecution).
12. Are you eagerly expecting and anticipating the any-moment return of Jesus Christ for His Church?

When was Jesus Crucified and Resurrected?
I think there would be less Atheist and Agnostic if the Real Jesus is the Jesus most of the Christian knew today. Why? Because most unbelievers like to point out the similarity of Jesus life to that of Mithra, a Sun Deity. Therefore, the outsiders consider Christianity as a copycat from Mithraic Religion. In fact, the popular Jesus Christ people recognized today was a mixture of many other pagan and heathen gods.
Yes! There are plenty of obvious similarity because the Jesus most Christian knew was a fabricated Christ. Shocked? You should be.
The Jesus Christ the world knew today was an integrated Roman Sun Worship with that of Constantine's Christianity.
The re-packaging of Jesus was perpetuated by the Roman Catholic Church to easily convince the pagan Roman citizen to the New official Religion of the King. Constantine even paraded the cross (which he claim was the same cross where Jesus actually hung) around the city of Rome to proclaim his faith in Jesus.
But did Constantine really convert to Christianity?
That is something only the heart of Constantine can answer. What I do know is that the early Christians mistrust the conversion of Rome. Most of them went into hiding and secretly observe breaking of bread in the name of Jesus as the Roman falsely accused of being a secret "cult".
But why would the early Christians mistrust the New Church?
As you can see, The papacy thought it would be easier for Romans of that day to accept Jesus if they can draw similarity to an already existing faith...BUT to early Christians it is unacceptable.
They are not happy about it. The Christian did not rejoice over their triumph. No longer will they be fed to the lion or torture to death. They can now freely practice their faith but why they doubt their government?
FROM SUN TO SON
They saw nothing change. They just replace the name of Jesus Christ but still practice the Mithraic rituals of Sun worships.
Pagan Rome worship on SUNday so they have to tweak some minor detail and instead of Sabbath day, they made the Resurrection of Christ on Sunday Morning.
WHAT REALLY HAPPEN DURING THE FIRST HOLY WEEK
Here's how the lie was done to fit the SUNday resurrection.
Have you ever wonder that if Jesus really died on Friday and rose on Sunday morning, then it would make up only One and a Half Day in total?
Then, Jesus must be kidding when the Scribes and Pharisee asked for a sign to proved He was the Messiah (Matthew 12:39). Jesus replied that the sign would be like that of the prophet Jonah. "For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." (verse 40)
Jesus did not said, two night and one day.
The two nights of course would just be a 24 hour period from Friday night to Saturday night. Or maybe it was not a literal 72 hour period after all. Well, the Devil is very good in alibi...reasoning that a part of a day can therefore be reckoned as a whole day.
Let's check the detail how it was recorded by the Gospel writer.Maybe we can uncover the real story of how Jesus' words were fulfilled precisely as 3 days and 3 nights. If not, then Jesus did not pay in full the price for our sin but just some part of it.
On Luke chapter 23: 46-53 we can read the hasty burial of Jesus because of the oncoming Sabbath day that began at sundown. Let us focus on Verse 54 "That day was the preparation and the Sabbath drew near."
Many have assumed that it is the weekly Sabbath mentioned here. So Jesus was crucified and died on Friday afternoon. BUT let us also check another record from John. I want you to pay a closer look on this Sabbath...
John 19:31 King James Version (KJV)
31The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
A High-day Sabbath, The New International Version call this a "Special Sabbath" it is God's annual high day or Sabbath Holy day (Exodus 12:16-17; Leviticus 23:6-7) it could fall on any day of the week. Therefore the Sabbath mentioned was the first day of Unleavened Bread Feast (Wednesday sunset to Thursday Sunset) since Luke 23:56 shows that the women, after seeing Christ's body being laid in the tomb just before sunset "returned and prepared spices and fragrant oils" for the final preparation of the body.
Such work would not have been done on a Sabbath day since it would be a violation of the Sabbath. Mark 16:1 verify these when it said "Now when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome brought spices (which they would not have purchased on the High-day Sabbath) that they might come and anoint Him".
They have to wait for the High Day Sabbath to be over before they can go to the market and buy spices and oils to be prepared, and then WAIT for the Weekly Sabbath and "rested on the Sabbath according to the commandment " (Luke 23:56).
We can see that there were actually two Sabbaths on that week. The Annual High Day Sabbath (that could fall on any day) which starts at Wednesday sunset to Thursday; and the Weekly Sabbath.
That on A.D. 31...Wednesday around 3 PM during the Day of Preparation before a High Day Sabbath (Feast of Unleavened Bread) our Lord Jesus Christ died via the extreme penalty of death.
And on Saturday around Sunset Jesus Christ rose from the grave.
WHY NOT SUNDAY MORNING?
John 20:1 "The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre."
While it was dark on the first day of the week (Sunday) Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and found the stone rolled away and the tomb was empty. So when Mary reach the place Jesus had long been resurrected. Now, if Jesus resurrected Sunday morning then it would be overdue and another night is added.
We can be assured that Jesus paid the price in full by the length of His entombment and that Jesus gave as proof that He was indeed the Messiah.
THE CRUCIFIXION AND RESURRECTION CHART
Tuesday
Jesus Christ and the disciple ate an evening Passover meal (Pascha). Betrayed by Judas, arrested during the night and brought before the High Priest. (Matthew 26)
Wednesday
Jesus Brought to Pilate, the Roman Governor, and was then sentence to die. Around 3:00PM he died. (Matthew 27) This was incidentally the preparation day for the annual Sabbath (which begun at sunset) not the weekly Sabbath. (Mark 15:42; Luke 23:54; John 19:31) Jesus body was placed in the tomb just before sunset (Matthew 27:57-60)
Thursday
This was the High Day Sabbath, the First day of Feast of Unleavened Bread (John 19:31; Leviticus 23:4-7) It is described as the day after the day of Preparation (Matthew 27:62)
Friday
The High Sabbath now past, the women bought and prepared the spices for anointing Jesus body, before resting for the weekly Sabbath which begun on Friday sunset (Mark 6:1; Luke 23:56)
Saturday
The women rested on the Sabbath day, according to the fourth commandment (Luke 23:56; Exodus 20:8-11) Jesus rose near sunset exactly three days and three nights after burial. Fulfilling the sign of Jonah.
Sunday
The women brought the spices early in the morning while it was still dark (Luke 24:1; John 20:1) finding that Jesus had already risen (Matthew 28:1-6; Mark 16:2-6; Luke 24:2-3; John 20:1) He did not rise on Sunday morning but near sunset the day before, from the exact time he was buried at the "heart of the earth".
The Crafty and Deception:
By removing into focus the High Day Sabbath, the Papacy was able to convert the Resurrection of Jesus Christ into a SUNday Worship borrowed from Mithraic sun-worshipers.
Now it is No wonder why the rest of the world still wait for the coming Messiah...to the Christian who knew His word, He has already Risen.
This is also in response to those Atheist and Agnostic who had been complaining the pagan similarity of Christianity.
STOP the Character Assassination you had been doing against Jesus Christ and worship Him in Spirit and in Truth.

The Truth Behind Jesus Name
I'm thankful to this video. As I will not worry anymore if I would call Him Jesus or Hesus. And I can assure my mother who had a Visayan accent that she is calling the same God.

The Bible is Not about God's Opinion
It is incredible how most Christian adopt secular reasons in interpreting the fact presented in Holy Scriptures. They downplay the spiritual issues stated therein and try to find scientific explanations on wonderful miracles and how God created things.
One dominant issue and most controversial is the Book of Genesis. You would hear believers trying to tie up the "creation" with what they read on secular books such as science journals. When we do these, we distort the essence of its purpose.
Why Genesis is Written?
The purpose of writing Genesis, in the first place, is to inform us "How God created" everything. I believed that one of those ancient days, Adam and Eve had conversation with The Father. Perhaps they are marveling how they came to be, where they came from, and what are those things in heaven and how the things around them came to be. It is more likely that God said something like this, "Well, listen to me Adam and Eve, this is how it came to be...I made them..." and so the story of creation was told, and to cut the story short, this story was pass on to their children and children's children, until it reach Moses who wrote the book which was later named Genesis.
The only person that can tell correctly how things were form, was someone who had been there from the beginning. Let us remember that! Not someone who was not there...not Man. It is like a computer explaining to man how he was created, when itself is created by man.
So what was on Genesis?
The Bible speaks about rapid appearance of life form...Scholars estimates that if we trace the Bible, Heaven and earth would be approximately only around 6-7000 years old...so how come we read so much about Billions or so years old fossils found here and there as evidence to rule out the accuracy of the Bible creation story.
There is a conspiracy of misinformation actively working in world systems to lead us away from the truth. They were trying to hide scientific discoveries that proves the authenticity of the Bible. I am not making claims here, but will later show you that there is a growing community of Scientist from various field re-discovering and discovering God.
Let me remind you that Evolution requires the earth to be very very old...including the universe. Don't believe that lie. The devil and his cohorts will do anything to make you "doubt" the Bible and therefore rely on secular teachings.
What is a Bible?
Plainly, the Bible is God's revelation to man NOT man revealing God. It is an inspired collections of books authored by God himself to be written by men or if you may allow called copywriters in our time. It is something like this, Moses act as a journalist, interviewing God how He created things and later God also added History as a little background before Moses was called, up until their captivity in Egypt, then the story telling was pass on to the other Historians...so on and so forth.
Misinformed individual claims the Bible was just a "One" book and it is not a reliable source of information because of its narrow perspective of a monotheistic religion. That is the first lie and don't be persuaded by that. The Bible is a library of Heaven and Earth history.
The uniqueness of the Bible is that it tells even the mistake and fault of the authors. In fact, Moses, in his writing admitted that he is inadequate as a leader and even at the end of his life he is still a failure. While other Religion claims the perfectness of its founder, the Bible tell us real people, ordinary people just like you and me. They commit sin, they disobey God, they envy, they argue, and all other common human nature. The Bible does not hide skeleton in the closets. Buddha did not told his follower that he was an irresponsible husband and father, that in order to seek enlightenment he had to leave his young wife...Muhammad did not tell his follower that Allah was just one of the many gods already worship in Mecca. He just redefine an already formed faith from pagan people.
The Bible tell us what really happened!
Take Me as I AM
Therefore, If you are a Christian, you should stop treating the Bible as another Book of Opinion. Let us take the Bible at face value. Most believers even try to stretch the Word of God to fit the popular secular world view. If God said, it only requires Him 6 days to create heaven and earth...then that what it should mean and nothing else. The Word of God will explain itself, trust me, or better yet TRUST GOD. What God had declared before may not make sense Now but surely He mean what He said. Like when He said, don't eat animal fat and blood, it is evident now what will happen to your health...
Why would God spend a great deal of time making special attention to the 7th day (Sabbath) and make an elaborate command to be respected and observe as Holy?
Let us remember that if we don't accepts what the Bible states and consider some part of it pertains to something else, then we are making assumption as well. When we try to fit the Bible to the puzzle the evolutionist are trying to build...we are also distorting the real message of the Holy Scripture.
What we are doing is re-constructing the Bible according to the world views. As if before God made Adam, He first scoop a handful of slime and make an amoeba that turn into monkey before it gradually became Man. If we do these, we stray away from the truth...which states God made man and women on the 6th day...a separate creature from the rest...it does not evolve from anything else.
If we stretch the meaning of the creation...we will not follow the order of things and events in the Bible. Therefore, Commandments and Law can also be altered according to the general world views.
Science can't prove the age of anything!
If you think science is giving you a very good estimates of how old the fossils they've examined...you are being duped. Evolutionist uses an extravagant calculator that multiply a single day into million of years.
Science is base on assumptions!
What science is not telling You?
Listen!!! Few people are aware that nine out of ten dating methods indicate the earth is too young for evolution to have happened, nor do they understand the assumptions upon which all dating methods rely.
All dating method are base on assumptions and tries to figure it out. But obviously any data can be contaminated.
BRAINWASHED EDUCATION SYSTEMS
Check your children's Biology text book...see how the authors presents unproven data like: "The Dinosaurs disappeared 65 Millions of years ago", turn hundreds of pages and you'll be bombarded with disappearance of extinct life forms by the Million years or so...And they don't bother to tell you that most of the dating method use are radio-metric method which is unreliable. Assumptions are presented as factual. Is that science or witchcraft?
Open your TV to National Geographic channel and the same false data is given to you as a fact.
Well listen to a well-known Physicist have to say:
You can check the data and article refuting the evolution theory at http://creation.com/how-old-is-the-earth
It is either you believe the Bible or not. If you try to tie it up with principle of the world, you will not "get" its real meaning.
1. Where are all the Bones?
If man had been around as they said 4 Million years ago. Assuming that the average life span is 25 years (counting the factor of a more dangerous ancient world and unknown diseases and yet to be discovered cures)...and since science like to assume, we will also assume a steady population of 100,000 human...they eat, have sex, have children, they dies....multiply that by 4 Million years...how many bones we have buried under the soil?
Where are the 16 Trillion of bodies?
By now I am very sure if man had been existing for Millions of years, the evolutionist can herald to the world the "Missing Link" between man and monkeys, but there are NONE...actually the FEW specimen they proposed to be "Ape Man" were refuted to be Hoaxes.

ATHEISM IS DEAD!!!
Meaning there is no NEW argument or fact coming from Naturalist and Evolutionist, they just re-invent words and definitions. They don't present new discovery at all but wait for Creationist to reveal new things so they can lambaste and invent lies to discredit. And when they discover something that proves the Bible, they hide that fact away from us. Just check the video Man and Dinosaur co-existed.
Don't present the Bible as if it is just another opinion. Stand tall and tell them "This is what God said!!!"
From Those Claiming to be Theistic:
One dominant issue and most controversial is the Book of Genesis. You would hear believers trying to tie up the "creation" with what they read on secular books such as science journals. When we do these, we distort the essence of its purpose.
Why Genesis is Written?
The purpose of writing Genesis, in the first place, is to inform us "How God created" everything. I believed that one of those ancient days, Adam and Eve had conversation with The Father. Perhaps they are marveling how they came to be, where they came from, and what are those things in heaven and how the things around them came to be. It is more likely that God said something like this, "Well, listen to me Adam and Eve, this is how it came to be...I made them..." and so the story of creation was told, and to cut the story short, this story was pass on to their children and children's children, until it reach Moses who wrote the book which was later named Genesis.
The only person that can tell correctly how things were form, was someone who had been there from the beginning. Let us remember that! Not someone who was not there...not Man. It is like a computer explaining to man how he was created, when itself is created by man.
So what was on Genesis?
The Bible speaks about rapid appearance of life form...Scholars estimates that if we trace the Bible, Heaven and earth would be approximately only around 6-7000 years old...so how come we read so much about Billions or so years old fossils found here and there as evidence to rule out the accuracy of the Bible creation story.
There is a conspiracy of misinformation actively working in world systems to lead us away from the truth. They were trying to hide scientific discoveries that proves the authenticity of the Bible. I am not making claims here, but will later show you that there is a growing community of Scientist from various field re-discovering and discovering God.
Let me remind you that Evolution requires the earth to be very very old...including the universe. Don't believe that lie. The devil and his cohorts will do anything to make you "doubt" the Bible and therefore rely on secular teachings.
What is a Bible?
Plainly, the Bible is God's revelation to man NOT man revealing God. It is an inspired collections of books authored by God himself to be written by men or if you may allow called copywriters in our time. It is something like this, Moses act as a journalist, interviewing God how He created things and later God also added History as a little background before Moses was called, up until their captivity in Egypt, then the story telling was pass on to the other Historians...so on and so forth.
Misinformed individual claims the Bible was just a "One" book and it is not a reliable source of information because of its narrow perspective of a monotheistic religion. That is the first lie and don't be persuaded by that. The Bible is a library of Heaven and Earth history.
The uniqueness of the Bible is that it tells even the mistake and fault of the authors. In fact, Moses, in his writing admitted that he is inadequate as a leader and even at the end of his life he is still a failure. While other Religion claims the perfectness of its founder, the Bible tell us real people, ordinary people just like you and me. They commit sin, they disobey God, they envy, they argue, and all other common human nature. The Bible does not hide skeleton in the closets. Buddha did not told his follower that he was an irresponsible husband and father, that in order to seek enlightenment he had to leave his young wife...Muhammad did not tell his follower that Allah was just one of the many gods already worship in Mecca. He just redefine an already formed faith from pagan people.
The Bible tell us what really happened!
Take Me as I AM
Therefore, If you are a Christian, you should stop treating the Bible as another Book of Opinion. Let us take the Bible at face value. Most believers even try to stretch the Word of God to fit the popular secular world view. If God said, it only requires Him 6 days to create heaven and earth...then that what it should mean and nothing else. The Word of God will explain itself, trust me, or better yet TRUST GOD. What God had declared before may not make sense Now but surely He mean what He said. Like when He said, don't eat animal fat and blood, it is evident now what will happen to your health...
Why would God spend a great deal of time making special attention to the 7th day (Sabbath) and make an elaborate command to be respected and observe as Holy?
Let us remember that if we don't accepts what the Bible states and consider some part of it pertains to something else, then we are making assumption as well. When we try to fit the Bible to the puzzle the evolutionist are trying to build...we are also distorting the real message of the Holy Scripture.
What we are doing is re-constructing the Bible according to the world views. As if before God made Adam, He first scoop a handful of slime and make an amoeba that turn into monkey before it gradually became Man. If we do these, we stray away from the truth...which states God made man and women on the 6th day...a separate creature from the rest...it does not evolve from anything else.
If we stretch the meaning of the creation...we will not follow the order of things and events in the Bible. Therefore, Commandments and Law can also be altered according to the general world views.
Science can't prove the age of anything!
If you think science is giving you a very good estimates of how old the fossils they've examined...you are being duped. Evolutionist uses an extravagant calculator that multiply a single day into million of years.
Science is base on assumptions!
What science is not telling You?
Listen!!! Few people are aware that nine out of ten dating methods indicate the earth is too young for evolution to have happened, nor do they understand the assumptions upon which all dating methods rely.
All dating method are base on assumptions and tries to figure it out. But obviously any data can be contaminated.
BRAINWASHED EDUCATION SYSTEMS
Check your children's Biology text book...see how the authors presents unproven data like: "The Dinosaurs disappeared 65 Millions of years ago", turn hundreds of pages and you'll be bombarded with disappearance of extinct life forms by the Million years or so...And they don't bother to tell you that most of the dating method use are radio-metric method which is unreliable. Assumptions are presented as factual. Is that science or witchcraft?
Open your TV to National Geographic channel and the same false data is given to you as a fact.
Well listen to a well-known Physicist have to say:
For every dating method indicating billions of years of earth history there are ten methods indicating the earth is far too young for evolution to have happened.--Dr. Russell HumphreyWrong assumptions! You get wrong answers. Wrong information! You get wrong educations. Now we are being fed with assumptions, and often incorrect dating method. It is No Wonder we get a wrong idea about LIFE.
You can check the data and article refuting the evolution theory at http://creation.com/how-old-is-the-earth
Common Sense disprove Evolution already!
We don't need to graduate doctorate degree to disproved Naturalist and Evolutionist. Here are some simple common sense:
If man had been around as they said 4 Million years ago. Assuming that the average life span is 25 years (counting the factor of a more dangerous ancient world and unknown diseases and yet to be discovered cures)...and since science like to assume, we will also assume a steady population of 100,000 human...they eat, have sex, have children, they dies....multiply that by 4 Million years...how many bones we have buried under the soil?
Where are the 16 Trillion of bodies?
By now I am very sure if man had been existing for Millions of years, the evolutionist can herald to the world the "Missing Link" between man and monkeys, but there are NONE...actually the FEW specimen they proposed to be "Ape Man" were refuted to be Hoaxes.
2. Where are all the Graves?
Man is a natural lover and sentimental. We bury our dead relatives. All ancient civilization have rituals about burying deceased...so once again, the same questions where are the Millions (if not Billion) of grave sites?
What do we have? We can find most of the graves in Ancient Civilizations. Meaning! man is already civilized, thinking, logical beings ever since. (Take notice that when they usually discover the said "LINK" these are isolated fossils, isn't that suspicious already?)
MATHEMATICAL CORRECTNESS VIA THE BIBLE STORY
Let us Do simple Mathematics to check how accurate the Bible history.
The current population now is 7 Billions people. World population historically double every 150 years, independent of war, famines, catastrophes, pandemic, etc...
The Bible told the flood happened around 4,500 years ago. Noah is with 3 sons and their 3 wives. So let us begin with 6 people since Noah does not have other children after the flood...
6 x 2 equals...12
Let us continue doubling them until we reach 7 Billion.
...24...48...96...192...384...768...1536...3072...6144...12288...24576...49152...98304...196608...393216...786432...1572864...3145728...6291456...12582912...25165824...50331648...100663296...201326592...402653184...805306368...1610612736...3221225472...6442450944 (Almost 7 Billion)
That was 30 cycles of 150. Therefore 30 cycles X 150 years is 4,500 years.
The flood happened around 4,500 years ago and the equation is not very far to how many we are now, base on the sons of Noah...that survived the great flood.
Below is Dr. Monty White's analogy and question that Evolutionist must answer:
Evolutionists are always telling us that humans have been around for hundreds of thousands of years. If we did assume that humans have been around for 50,000 years and if we were to use the calculations above, there would have been 332 doublings, and the world’s population would be a staggering figure—a one followed by 100 zeros; that is
000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,
000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,
000,000,000.
This figure is truly unimaginable, for it is billons of times greater than the number of atoms that are in the entire universe! Such a calculation makes nonsense of the claim that humans have been on earth for tens of thousands of years.
Simple, conservative arithmetic reveals clear mathematical logic for a young age of the earth. From two people, created around 6,000 years ago, and then the eight people, preserved on the Ark about 4,500 years ago, the world’s population could have grown to the extent we now see it—over 6.5 billion.
With such a population clearly possible (and probable) in just a few thousand years, we could actually ask the question, “If humans were around millions of years ago, why is the population so small?” This is a question that evolution supporters must answer.
Statistically the Bible is far more realistic than the 4 Million of years base on Evolution.
If you don't agree with simple common sense...you can check the following websites from authorized and respected personalities from various fields of scientific and philosophical education.
Does a Rocket Scientist from NASA believes in GOD? Check this website: http://www.nasamike.com/main/book/ (in the following days perhaps if God allow, I will digest the data on this site)
HARD-HEAD SLOW LEARNERS
Contrary to what was being advertised by the Loud Mouth (funded by Satanic elite) unbelievers, there was "enormous" increase of "enlightened" scientist accepting the Bible as factual.
If you think there are no scientist on God's side, hear the Mission Statement of Reasons.org a group of credible and reliable Scientist:
RTB's mission is to spread the Christian Gospel by demonstrating that sound reason and scientific research - including the very latest discoveries - consistently support, rather than erode, confidence in the truth of the Bible and faith in the personal, transcendent God revealed in both Scripture and nature.

From Those Claiming to be Theistic:
Aside from the Non-existent-God advocate, there are also the False Prophets that distort the Bible. One example is Ophra Winfrey, a New Age thinker and esoteric follower. She said, there are other ways aside from Jesus Christ. The reason is that, obviously not everyone have heard about Jesus, so it is unfair. Maybe, Jesus does NOT really mean that He is the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE.
If we accept that, then we are making Jesus irrelevant and worst of all being accused as a LIAR. (Read More on Jesus The Only Way)
Sadly, even Christians believe and assume that LIE...
The Vatican believe that all religion leads to God.
The Mormons believe that the Bible is insufficient source for God's will.

Last Call for Catholics
Dear friend,
I thought I wouldn't be blogging anymore about the Catholic Religion, I have stated my case against this religion, you can go to the archive of this blog about the Vatican cult. I want to move forward as there are other more trivial issues that I needed to investigate...But once again, I am deeply touch to reinstate or re-inform my Catholic friends...it seems they are once again in "selective acceptance" mode. It's alright, I will not go tired for my sincere love for my fellowmen.
I browse the Internet and found plenty of good resources on this genre about the Catholic Religion, and it came to me as an assurance that the preaching of truth will continue. Nonetheless, I have pick some articles from this sites that I think would be enough "to disturb" your mind and it might make you loose some sleep...
If you are Catholic and disturb by these then I suggest you bow down, not in front of idols but lock yourself inside your room and talk to God the Father...pray something like this: (Please be sincere...)
Dear Father, in Jesus Name... This person Fher Ymas here is disturbing me and saying bad report against my church. Please reveal to me the truth so that I may answer his false accusation against the Catholic Church. Please answer me through your Holy Spirit so that I can sleep well tonight. Amen.
And if, your a Catholic and Not Disturb on the following article. Then I don't know what to do for you...sleep well.
“A demonic spirit's favorite activity is making a person feel religious without an understanding of the Word of God.” —Pastor Max D. Younce
This revealing photo of Catholic Cardinal Myroslav Ivan Lubachivsky, of the Ukraine, appeared in the magazine Inside the Vatican(1997), in an article entitled, "The Princes of the Church." Observe the cardinal's unusual staff, with its vile phoenix serpents facing each other and its Maltese Cross at the apex. This same imagery—the dual phoenix serpent—is found on the wall behind the black stone altar inside the sanctuary of Freemasonry's House of the Temple in Washington, D.C.
"And they worshiped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?" (Revelation 13:4)
The following are condensed from:
The Pope, the Devil, and the Masonic Lodge
by Texe Marrs"Lucifer is Enthroned"Catholic scholar Dr. Malachi Martin, formerly a Jesuit professor at Georgetown University and a confidant of Vatican insiders, flatly declared in a recent New York City interview: "Yes, it's true. Lucifer is enthroned in the Catholic Church." Martin was also interviewed by The Fatima Crusader, a well-known Catholic publication. He again repeated his allegations, and expressed his dismay and distress that the Catholic institution of which he is a part has grown so decadent and morally reprobate since the Vatican II conference of the 60s. The contention that there are Satanists in Rome is "completely correct" said Martin, adding:"Anybody who is acquainted with the state of affairs in the Vatican in the last 35 years is well aware that the prince of darkness has and still has his surrogates in the court of St. Peter in Rome."
Blood Oaths and Blasphemous RitualsMalachi Martin is a very traditional Catholic. Author of Hostage to the Devil and numerous other books, his acclaimed Keys of This Blood, published some five years ago, was a strong, apologetics volume supporting the papacy of the current Pope, John Paul II. But now, Martin has doubts. He cannot understand why this Pope allows such evil to exist and even prosper within the church.It has gotten so bad, Dr. Martin contends, that in one shocking incident, high-ranking churchmen actually took oaths signed with their own blood and participated in "meticulously enacted rituals that blaspheme and devilishly mimic the holy sacrifice of the mass."Treachery Inside the SanctuaryIf Dr. Malachi Martin was the only authority sounding the alarm about devil worship in the Catholic Church, the whole affair would simply be dismissed as the outrageous accusations of a single cleric. But as far back as 1976, Pope Paul VI shocked a papal audience by confiding that, "The smoke of Satan has entered the very sanctuary of St. Peter's Cathedral." The Pontiff went on to explain that he had knowledge of a midnight hour, Black Satanic Mass having been conducted at the altar of St. Peter's, on the exact spot where the Pope himself regularly says mass.Secret Involvement ExposedAlready reeling from Martin's accusations and stung by the memorable revelations of a previous pontiff, the Catholic hierarchy was further set back on its combined heels in Rome last November. With thousands in attendance at Rome's Fatima 2000 International Congress on World Peace, a respected Archbishop, Emmanuel Milingo, strode to the podium. The crowd gasped as they heard Milingo solemnly affirm that members of the Catholic Church hierarchy are secretly involved in the darkest kinds of formal Satan worship.Archbishop Milingo, an exorcist, is author of a best-selling book exposing the occult, Face to Face With the Devil. In his speech, Milingo called Satan worship the "Third dimension of Evil," and explained:Now, the third dimension (of evil) is the most dangerous. It is subtle and the most terrible--.I could not believe when I discovered this third dimension of evil. The third dimension is people who follow instructions in satanic sects--.Now with this third dimension, I'm sorry to say, our church belongs to it. I'm very sorry, I could not understand myself, and even now I don't understand. But the only consolation I have is that, well, Judas Iscariot was one. Together with Jesus three years, he never changed. Then I understand that the third dimension of evil existed not only now, but it existed even then. Because nothing could change the heart of Judas Iscariot--nothing.
Ravages of FreemasonrySatan worship apparently has mushroomed in recent years as Catholic cardinals, bishops, and priests have joined the Masonic Lodge in record numbers. Until the papacy of today's Pope John Paul II, membership by Catholics in any kind of Masonic order was an excommunicable offense. Now, however, it is commonplace. Indeed, in 1980, New York's Terrance Cooke, one of America's most powerful Catholic cardinals, addressed a gathering of 3,000 Masons. Cardinal Cooke electrified the assemblage when he said that, as friends, Masons and Catholics should recognize each other.Refraining from mentioning the name of Jesus--the name despised by many Masons and prohibited inside their lodges--Cardinal Cooke bowed to Masonry's worst heresy by remarking, "I know of your firm belief in the Supreme Being, the Great Architect of the Universe, and of the holy writings appropriate to the religion of your members, and I salute you for your loyalty to these ancient values."Cardinal Cooke's words were obviously well chosen and imbued with hidden meaning. In fact, the Masonic Lodge's "Supreme Architect of the Universe" is none other than Lucifer, who cloaks himself in Masonic literature with the names of such deities as Zoroaster, Shiva, Abaddon, and in other Masonic pagan-god disguises. As for the "holy writings" of Freemasonry, these have their origins in the Roman mystery religions, in 19th century occultism, and in Egyptianism/Babylonianism. Such are the "ancient values" of the satanic Masonic Lodge.
It may come as a surprise to you to learn that the Catholic Church has deceitfully removed the 2nd of the Ten Commandments, which forbids BOWING to statues. God is a jealous God and will not share His rightful glory and praise with another...
"I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images." —Isaiah 42:8
I Believe Most Catholics are Sincere
I believe Most Catholic people are sincere. They go to Mass and hear the pretty music and church bells. They hear the Scripture quoted and are taught to partake of Christ's death in order to be a part of His resurrection. They are taught about the blood of Jesus and the mystery of the Gospel, and so forth. It all seems so religious.
However, they are not taught to be born-again as Jesus commanded in John 3:3, "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."
If you'll notice, every word the priest speaks at prayer time is recited from a piece of paper, and not from his heart as the Lord desires. Matthew 15:7,8, "Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me."
Catholics do have religion, and grand it is; but they don't have the Spirit of God. Catholics have the spirit of ancient Babylon, the mystery Queen of Heaven—the Blessed Virgin; but they don't have the truth of the Gospel, which is without works of self-righteousness. Matthew 5:20, "For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven."
We must take to heart the warning in Proverb 14:12, "There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death." We must not go about to establish our own righteousness as Romans 10:3,4 warns; but rather, rest upon Jesus' name and His righteousness, which is through faith alone in His blood sacrifice.
