In a future day known only to God, the Apostle John wrote that the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come. And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more: The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, …and slaves, and souls of men.https://americanscoop.com/massive-florida-human-trafficking-bust-included-teacher-nurse
Genesis tells us God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Two genders and not 70 or more! Then in the next chapter we are given further information saying And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Mankind is unique of all the other creatures God created.
After the Noahic Flood God stated in Genesis 9:5,6 And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man’s brother will I require the life of man. 6 Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man. This continues today!
Well, of course none of these Scriptures mean anything to many in today’s society. They know more than God and He along with His Word are thrown out. Man is in control and will do his own thing of which murdering the unborn is just one! There are unfortunately several web sites claiming to be Christian that support the murder of the unborn. These are https://abortionandreligion.com/resources/https://www.faithaloud.org/find-clergy-support/spiritual-resources/https://www.all-options.org/resources/ All of these web sites affirm the murder of the unborn and those associated with them will someday stand before the Judge of all the earth and Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
These people pushing the murder of the unborn will be held accountable before the true and living God at the Great White Throne where they will be judged and cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. However, there is still time as long as a person has breath in this present life to repent and turn in faith to the Lord Jesus Christ and cry out God be merciful to me a sinner.
The above pdf is from Creation Research here in Australia. I trust if you are a believer this will encourage you and if you are not a believer that God will use something in this pdf to convict you to where you will repent of your sins and turn by faith to Christ as your Saviour. If you do come to know the Lord Jesus as your personal Saviour please let me know.
This is the introduction to a five part series by David Daniels on the Septuagint. This is subject is very important as the use of the Septuagint has affected many areas of study. Dr. James J. S. Johnson wrote in a 2019 Dean Burgon Society article that “There is a growing potential in Christian circles, especially within the creation science community for promoting and advocating the Greek Septuagint (“LXX”) version of the Old Testament, as if the LXX’s content was more reliable than the content of the providentially preserved Masoretic Text (MT) of the Old Testament.”
This is the testimony of Keith Becker as told on Pacific Garden Mission’s Unshackled. “Keith had his own plans for his life, but bankrupt and brokenhearted, he starts to wonder where he’s going wrong. From rebellion to bending the knee, to devastating tragedy, Keith saw God’s power turn his family’s story into a powerful ministry.” John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
‘Christalignment is a false Christian group based out of Melbourne, Australia that has aligned itself with the cult of Bethel Church. Christalignment is well-known for its “Christian” version of tarot card readings and other occult practices. A few years ago, Christalignment made headlines when it held a nude festival and posted a topless “spirit dance” and wrote it off as part of its “evangelism” strategy.
It is utterly abhorrent that the people at Bethel Church and other charismatic communities have taken something as completely and unmistakably occultic as “tarot cards” and sought to disguise it as “Christalignment.” There is no way to make something so heavily steeped in the dark arts seem like a sensible approach to “empowering destiny” and “making better decisions in the future.”’https://disntr.com/2023/01/09/christian-psychic-readings-and-taro-cards-continue-to-grow-in-popularity/
‘It is a harsh but undeniable truth that the majority of what calls itself the Church in the modern world is nothing more than a shallow facade, a shell of its former self. Charles Spurgeon, one of the greatest theologians and preachers of the past, had the foresight to recognize this disturbing trend even in his own lifetime. He famously declared, “A time will come when instead of shepherds feeding the sheep, the church will have clowns entertaining the goats!”
Tragically, Spurgeon’s prediction has become a reality. As one looks out at the landscape of the contemporary Church, it is nearly impossible to find any semblance of genuine faith or spiritual depth. Instead, one is confronted with an endless parade of superficial and shallow antics, designed to titillate the senses and distract from the emptiness within.
A recent spectacle at the Center for Hope, a United Methodist church in Wintersville, Ohio, where a couple sang a trite and manipulative cover of “Eye of the Tiger,” is just one example of the degradation and degeneration that plagues the modern Church. It is a damning indictment of our spiritual state that we have become so enamored with cheap thrills and vacuous entertainment rather than seeking the nourishment of the soul and the timeless wisdom of the divine through His word.
Below are some of the altered lyrics the couple sang that were overly cheesy and focused on charismatic self-help themes:
Before I was a Christian, Something was missin, felt a little distant, dark resistant, made a decision, got a new vision, wrote my goals yeah wrote my mission, BC I was aimlessly walkin then one day I heard the voice of God talkin, rise up child to the enemy mockin’, prayer is your weapon pray without stoppin’‘https://disntr.com/2023/01/05/church-performs-cringworthy-rap-edition-of-eye-of-the-tiger/
