Evolutionism (Trusting What Has Proven Faulty Rather Than Trusting God)
How can we know anything about anything
To try to explain truth to him who loves it not is but to give him more plentiful material for misinterpretation. George Macdonald
Do we have to make a choice between science and the Bible?
NO!
That is NOT where the problem is, but that is what everyone seems to want to talk about.
Take science as an example.
How can we know anything about the created material world around us?
How can we know anything from what we can see using natural sciences?
We all see the same things in the material world,
but we don't come to the same answers.
Why is that?
How can we know anything about the Bible and what it teaches?
Every person believes different things about the Bible and how it should be read.
Why is that?
Same scientific facts. Different answers.
Same Bible. Different answers.
Why is that?
The true question is this: How do we come to our answers that we get
from what we can see through science
or what we can read in the Bible?
How do we think about what we see using science or what we read in the Bible?
How do we analyze what we have seen and read?
How do we interpret what we have seen and read?
We use logic, but logic always has a foundation. Jesus talked about building on the Rock.
That Rock is Jesus Christ. He is the true foundation.
There are also the false foundations of the ungodly.
An example might help.
Question: Why do you believe in evolution?
Answer: Because my science teacher told me that evolution is scientific fact.
Question: Why do you believe your science teacher?
Answer: because he agrees with the textbook he assigned us to read.
Now, we have asked, "Why?" twice.
If we continued to ask, "Why?" we would come down to the foundation of this person's thoughts.
When we get down to the foundations, there are no more questions that can be answered.
So where to the foundations come from?
There are three possibilities.
- things that we make up, pulled from the air
- demonic lies
- divine revelation
Question: Why do you believe in creation?
Answer: Because God revealed this to me. He spoke to me through the Bible and gave me His faith
so that I could believe Him.
See how quickly we got to the foundation.
This is a belief that has a foundation that is solid and that cannot be moved.
In reality, the things that we make up, that are pulled from the air,
are actually from demons and all the lies of demons spring from the prince of demons, Satan.
So these are one and the same.
Divine revelation comes from the Almighty, Creator, God, Jesus Christ.
So there are only two choices, but how do we know there are only two choices?
Because God has revealed this truth to us.
The question then is how do we tell the difference between the revelation that comes from God
and the lies of Satan?
The answer is that everyone who sincerely wants to do the will of God will know.
Jesus said, "If you really want to obey God, you will know if what I teach comes from God or from me"
The rejection of the revelation that comes from God is not an intellectual problem.
It is a moral problem.
Jesus said, "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you:
For everyone who asks receives; and he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks it shall be opened."
*
Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children,
how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to those who ask him?
Matthew 7:7-11 *
You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.
You can set the truth before someone, but you can't make anyone believe
those things that they don't want to submit to.
They have to want to obey God.
How frequently it is brought to our attention that nothing good can be done if the will is wrong! Reason alone fails to justify itself. Richard M. Weaver
Jesus said, "You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free" (John 8:32)
"If we are not prepared to buy the truth at the cost of our own humbling we shall not receive it"
Lies appear to have no price upon them.
They seem cheap and they abound everywhere.
But for the truth there is always an obvious price to pay.
"[God] has set a day when He will judge all the world's people with fairness.
And He has chosen the man Jesus to do the judging for Him.
God has given proof of this to all of us by raising Jesus from death" (Acts 17:31).
"There is a judge for the one who rejects Me [Jesus] and does not accept My words;
that very word which I spoke will condemn him at the last day" (John 12:48)
That also stands for every person who speaks the utterances of Jesus.
When we hear them, we hear Jesus Christ, and we either accept or reject.
Every person who follows Jesus Christ is commanded to only speak His utterances and not their own.
"When we love others, we know that we belong to the truth, and we feel at ease in the presence of God" (1 John 3:19)
Ravi Zacharias did two open forums in a university.
On the second night, one man told him that he had brought two Atheists in the night before
who said that the arguments presented were so strong that they could not contend with them,
but they were going to remain Atheists because that is what they prefer to be true.
In another case of just listening to an unbeliever and drawing out his reasoning,
the unbeliever finally came to his foundations.
They turned out to be assumptions that were pulled from the air.
When asked why he believed his basic assumption,
the unbeliever looked startled and blurted out,
"I guess I'm making the whole thing up."
It was quite a revelation to him since he hadn't even known that he had any assumptions.
However, he decided to remain an Atheist because he didn't want God to rule over him.

Basics of Evolution
Back to Top |
Evolutionism is the dogmatic belief that the universe created itself and that God is not the creator of the heavens and the earth. Evolutionism is an Atheistic doctrine that has crept into the Church although sometimes in a modified form. Evolutionististic organizations are always looking for useful idiots among Christians. A useful idiot is a person who unwittingly advances a cause whose real aim is to fatally undermine their own cause. Christians who embrace the Atheistic doctrine of Darwinism are useful idiots for the Atheists.(read more)
Evolutionism disguises itself as science, which it is not. It is a cult. The myth of Evolution is the attempt to do away with the Almighty Creator God with a series of creative stories (lies) that expand on, or explain away, actual empirical observations. They make up a story, limited only by their imaginations, and then they call their story a discovery or a scientific fact. The less the story is based on evidence, the more dogmatic Evolutionists become. Evolutionists are increasingly hostile toward any information, or even opinions, that disagree with their wild claims.
Evolutionism is one of several Secularist cults that work in concert. The following is a list of cults and theologies related to those cults: Agnosticism, Atheism, Humanism, Intellectualism, Liberalism, Materialism, Modernism, Naturalism, Post Modernism, Rationalism, Relativism, Secularism, and Socialism/Communism
Secularism, this consortium of false religions, is the most dangerous religion by far, killing a minimum of 180 million in the 20th century alone. The Secularists, of course, claim that they are not a religion. They do this to escape the credit for their murders and all that they have done to ruin society. They claim to be a non-religion so they can push themselves into the position of State-established religion (or non-religious cult if you prefer). They are a religion, though a false one.
The leaders of the Evolution cult are also Atheists. Most of Evolutionism's followers are Theistic Evolutionists, that is, they believe that God created using evolution.
The Evolutionist cult has contacts in organizations such as the ACLU for the purpose of censoring any speech about Creation science, especially in the schools. Evolutionists want only their own dogmatic stories told in schools.
Evolutionism cannot be reconciled with the Bible, which means that any Theistic Evolutionist must also be a Relativist. All Relativists have ethical and moral codes that can only be based on rationalization, that is, speculation. They make up their moral codes as they go along. That is probably the basic motivator behind Evolutionism, the desire to do what one wants to do without regard for the Almighty Creator of all things.
Evolutionism is moving from Modernism to Post Modernism, mostly because of the inability of Evolutionism to survive under the assumptions of Modernism. For the same reason, many Evolutionists are moving toward New Age Religion or Neo Paganism.
Secularists have tried to reverse the Christian respect for the conscience of those involved in conflicting religions. Christians have avoided legislating morality, but Secularists have worked to coerce Christians into doing things against conscience. Examples would include endorsing perversion, or forcing Christians to dispense the morning after pill. Also, coercion is exercised to prevent such things as Christians praying in the name of Jesus or teaching principles of the Bible.

In the beginning, the Triune God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, created the heavens and the Earth and all that is in them in six days. Adam and Eve were the people God created directly. Satan, a fallen angel, took the form of a snake and tempted Eve to obey him rather than obeying God. Eve was deceived and Adam also followed Eve in disobedience to God. There is a spiritual principle that whoever you yield yourself as slave to obey, that's whose slave you are. Adam and Eve became slaves to Satan and were put out of the paradise of God and were cursed. No one knows what the original state was, but we do know that a major change took place in the creation when Adam and Eve disobeyed God. Since God had put the entire creation under the authority of humanity, the entire creation fell along with humanity. This condition has been inherited by every human being who has ever been born, and all except one have continued to obey Satan as slaves to him.
In about 1,700 years, slavery to Satan had become so intense and violence had become so terrible on the Earth that God destroyed every living thing on the planet with a worldwide flood. We can see evidence of this flood everywhere. Most of the fossils under the Earth were quickly buried during this mighty catastrophe. That's why we see clams and fish at the tops of all the mountains. Most land animals floated and bloated and being the last to be buried as the layers of sediment were being laid down. Simple creatures tended to be buried first and are mostly found in the lower layers of sediment. To end the flood, God raised up the mountains and lowered the valleys in what appears to be a mighty earthquake that caused the water to run off quickly into the depths we now call oceans.
One man named Noah was spared along with His family. God had Noah prepare a huge boat and put enough of each kind of animal God had created to replenish the Earth after the flood. From those forms of life that God originally created have sprung up a wide variety of life. One dog kind produced a wide variety of dogs, coyotes, etc. One cat kind produced a wider variety of cats from house cats to lions and tigers. From Noah's family has come all the variety of people we now see.
Within a few years, pride took hold of men under Nimrod. They decided to build a tower to heaven. God put a stop to that by confusing their languages. No one could understand anyone and the building stopped. This is one of the reasons that there are so many languages in the world today.
About 300 years after the great flood, God selected a man, Abraham, and promised that His salvation would come through Abraham's family. Next, God selected one of Abraham's sons, Isaac. Then, God selected one of Isaac's sons, Jacob. Jacob had twelve sons, and their families became twelve tribes. Those twelve tribes became slaves in Egypt, but God set them free about 850 years after the flood. God gave them His law (which is love), and they swore that they would obey it, but they did not obey. About 1,500 years after the flood, God's people became slaves in Babylon because of their disobedience. God eventually set them free only to be put in bondage again by the Romans.
During the captivity under the Romans, God sent His own Son, Jesus, to live a life of perfect obedience to the Father. The Holy Ghost enveloped a virgin named Mary, and she gave birth to Jesus, Who was 100% God and 100% man. Jesus never obeyed Satan and always obeyed His Heavenly Father. Finally, Jesus allowed envious men to kill Him. In so doing, He made Himself the perfect sacrifice to take away the sins of every person who ever lived or who would ever live. In this, He provided both forgiveness by suffering the penalty for sin and also deliverance from the power of sin. Every person has been born as a slave to Satan and slave to sin. Jesus offers forgiveness and freedom to anyone who will accept it.
Jesus rose from the dead as victor and ascended into heaven. He then showed Himself to over 500 witnesses to His resurrection, and many of these witnesses were killed because they would not deny what they saw. When Jesus ascended, He gave gifts to men, giving some apostles, some prophets, some bearers of good news. some shepherds, and some teachers. He also set pattern for the Church. That pattern is recorded in the New Testament, most of which was written within a few years of Jesus' ascension. In part, it consists of a government of traveling elders and deacons called apostles, local elders and deacons, and families. Marriage is a vital part of this pattern. He set an order of worship in which every Christian is a ministry and has a ministry. The order of tithing was followed.
The Church turned from God's pattern by the second century. A chief elder was set. Elders had been the Bishops (overseers). Now, the Bishop was set over the Elders and the Bishops began to receive a salary. A Church hierarchy was established, and that grew into a monarchy. They stopped laying hands on members for the receiving of gifts of the Spirit. The Church descended into the dark ages. God began restoring in the fourteenth century and is still restoring what was lost.
True Christians personally know the Creator of the Universe. They are not afraid to know that He created them and that He is worthy to receive all glory and honor. As a result, they know that He has authority to command them in every aspect of their lives. They reject the voices of Satan that say otherwise.
If Evolution were a valid proposition, it would be in horrible conflict with the Biblical account. There would be no way to justify believing anything that the Bible says. However, true Christians realize that Evolutionism is based, at it's core, on circular reasoning, other forms of poor logic, and outright lies of Atheists. Evolutionism is scientifically impossible and it is spiritual poison. They are saddened that some of their brothers and sisters in Christ have been deceived by Satan in this regard, but they continue to press toward the mark of their high calling in Christ Jesus.
Evolutionism puts death before sin or else eliminates the concept of sin altogether. It makes everything relative. If death did precede sin, then sin didn't bring death. Death, in fact, is a good thing under Evolutionism, because death is the only way to evolve. True Christianity realizes that Satan has formed the Evolutionistic lie to try to damage the work that God is doing throughout the earth. They recognize it for what it is, a trick of Satan, and a lie based on nothing at all. Evolutionism is build on the sand of assumptions/presuppositions. True Christians build on the rock of Jesus Christ as the Holy Spirit removes the veil of the flesh to reveal Jesus from glory to glory.
Some Christians have, either on purpose or by just drifting, inserted parts of Evolutionism into their walk with Jesus. They tried to make it compatible with Christ. The little changes, however, caused these followers of Christ to stop following Christ and instead they began following doctrines of demons, lies.
God's plan for this hour is not to make all religions and philosophies get along. He has not changed. He is still looking for those who will listen to Him and respond with a humble heart. His plan is to have a people, a remnant company, who continue to discover Him, to walk with Him until they come into perfect unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God to one totally complete man (the Body of Christ and the Head, Jesus), to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.
In contrast to Evolution, followers of Christ receive Jesus Christ as the only Creator of the Universe, the God Who created them and their only Savior from bondage to sin. At the same time His love for those who have been deceived by Evolution compels God to speak to them daily through His creation and through other means; they will not listen to Him. You know that you were created for more than you are experiencing. If you continue to think like you always thought, you will continue to get what you always got. Is it enough? Read more.

Evolutionism and Christianity
Back to Top |
Evolutionism has crept into the Church. A lukewarm Church was all too eager to believe in Theistic Evolutionism. These fleshly Christians didn't like the idea of the Almighty Creator God. They wanted a god who would have no authority over them.
The problem is that Theistic Evolutionism is a concept that is neither biblical nor scientific. It, and it's companion theologies such as Old Earth Mythology, violates many of the basic laws of science: The Second Law of Thermodynamics, the First Law of Thermodynamics, Boyles Law, etc. "The law of increasing entropy is an impenetrable barrier which no evolutionary mechanism yet suggested has ever been able to overcome. Evolution and entropy are opposing and mutually exclusive concepts. If the entropy principle is really a universal law, then evolution must be impossible." Dr. Henry Morris "Another way of stating the Second Law then is: 'The universe is constantly getting more disorderly!' Viewed that way, we can see the Second Law all about us. We have to work hard to straighten a room, but left to itself it becomes a mess again very quickly and very easily. Even if we never enter it, it becomes dusty and musty. How difficult to maintain houses, and machinery, and our own bodies in perfect working order; how easy to let them deteriorate. In fact, all we have to do is nothing, and everything deteriorates, collapses, breaks down, wears out, all by itself and that is what the Second Law is all about." Isaac Asimov
In addition, Theistic Evolutionism nullifies the Gospel. It also violates the Bible, so a person who claims to believe the Bible but who would accept Evolutionism could just as well eliminate other important truths--and they do. They say that there are many ways to God, that Christ is not the only way. They say that God doesn't care about sexual sin. And they tell many other lies, deceiving many people. The main focus of any false religion is to confuse the saints of God and to destroy the work of God. This is evident in the work of Evolutionism and the way that it has looked for every way to infiltrate the Church.
|
Christianity, of course, is a religion--following Christ is a relationship rather than a religion. Not every Christian follows Christ. Fewer have a real meaningful Master-servant relationship with Christ. In addition, Christians can be deceived. Sadly, many are deceived by Evolutionism.

Evolution's Worldview of a Supreme Being
Back to Top |
Even for theistic Evolutionists, one of their gods must be Evolution itself.
Unless an individual is totally ignorant of science, no one could believe that the complexity and information in the universe could have possibly created itself.
Scientific papers talk about Evolution as performing miraculous works and having amazing powers. This is a god.
Many Evolutionists are Pantheists.
Many speak fondly of Mother Nature.
For the Atheistic Evolutionist, the Secular Humanist, human beings are gods. |
In direct conflict with the teachings of Evolution, there is one triune Creator God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in perfect unity yet distinct persons within that unity. God is creator of the universe and everything in it. He is all-present, all-knowing, all-powerful. All that is good comes from God. Jesus is God. The Father is God. The Holy Spirit is God. They are three persons and one God.
Unlike the teachings of Evolution, walking with Jesus is based on the God of the Bible Who has authority because He created all things. There is nothing that was not made by Jesus. The Bible speaks of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in many places. The full name of Jesus is Lord, Jesus, Christ. Lord refers to the Father. Jesus said, if you have seen me, you have seen the Father. Jesus means savior, because He came to save us from our sins. God Himself paid our price for us that His holy righteousness would be fulfilled and so that He could restore us to Himself. Christ is a synonym for Messiah or Anointed One. Christ will always be the only Anointed One. The Anointing Oil is a type of the Holy Spirit. The word, trinity, is not in the Bible, but the three persons of the trinity are very plain throughout the Bible. True Christians have an ongoing experience with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. This is what it means to be a True Christian. Whoever will may come.
Following Christ is based on knowing Jesus personally. True Christians believe Jesus when He tells them that it is in Him alone that they can find life, peace, joy, fulfillment, love, righteousness, and every other good thing. They believe Jesus when He tells them that rejecting Him as their one and only God is the most serious sin that could be committed--the sin against the first commandment.
Walking in this Way would make no sense at all if Jesus were not the Creator God.
A called-out person's life is all about a relationship with God. This relationship is very close and personal. It is a relationship of submission to the Holy Spirit. The human mind was never created to be operated without the Anointing of the Holy Spirit flowing through it with the human mind in complete submission. The same is true of the body. Spiritual death is defined as a condition where the human spirit, mind, or body is not in complete submission to the Holy Spirit.
Biblical Christianity's Teachings on God: The Only God is triune, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He is all-powerful, all-knowing, everywhere-present, and has always existed.
No person can find purpose or meaning in life or be fulfilled outside of a relationship with God. God is love and wants a personal relationship with every person.

Evolution's Worldview of Jesus
Back to Top |
Even for a person who professes to believe the Bible, if they believe in Evolutionism, they deny the Bible and the Jesus of the Bible.
The Bible says that sin started with Adam. Adam sinned and because of Adam's sin, death entered into the world. Before Adam's sin, no death existed. Jesus came to reverse all of that. If the Bible isn't true regarding this, then salvation makes no sense.
The rejection of the biblical account of beginnings brings with it the rejection of the reason for the need of the Savior, Jesus Christ.
Generally, Evolutionists think of God as some material thing no different from a common tea pot. Because they have constrained their minds with Naturalism and Materialism, they cannot possibly, with such closed minds and clouded thinking, believe in the Almighty God by Whom all things throughout the entire universe hold together. They can't believe in the Almighty God Who is concerned with even the minutest details to the point that not a single sparrow falls to the ground without Him and Who numbers the hairs on the head of each person.
|
Called-out followers of Jesus know by revelation that Jesus is God. God is One, yet God is plural. There are three persons in One God. The unity between the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is beyond what the human mind can comprehend. Jesus, Son of God, one person of the one triune God, so joined to the Father that His name is Father, yet in submission to the Father. He is Savior, Lord, and Anointed one (Christ). Eternal God and incarnated as man. In him is hidden all knowledge. Without Him, we can do nothing. He lives in the hearts of those who have received His redemption and gives them strength to endure all things and walk in holiness. Jesus is the Truth, and the Bible testifies of Him. If you have Jesus, then you have the Father. If you don't have Jesus, then you don't have the Father. Jesus is wisdom, and without Him, there is no wisdom. In the same way, God is love, so Jesus is love. He is peace. He is joy. All knowledge is hidden in Him.
Jesus is the one and only unique Son of God Who is bringing many sons into glory. Three is another theology called Theistic Evolution, which is an example of Christians who are trying to conform themselves to the world. They are those who follow the counsel of the ungodly and sit in the seat of the scornful. True Christianity is based on knowing Jesus personally. Christians believe Jesus when He tells them that it is in Him alone that they can find life, peace, joy, fulfillment, love, righteousness, and every other good thing. They believe Jesus when He tells them that rejecting Him as their one and only God is the most serious sin that could be committed--the sin against the first commandment. Jesus said: He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me. Luke 10:16 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6
True Christianity is not a religion but rather a living experience with the living Jesus. It is a moment-by-moment experience of the Holy Spirit (the Spirit of Christ) guiding and directing the Christian and the Christian either contending with God or submitting to the Holy Spirit. If the Christian contends, he or she becomes less mature in Christ. If the Christian submits, he or she has actually simply entered into the sabbath rest to let God do His work through them. When a Christian submits, faith comes. Faith is supernatural belief that God will do what He has just led the Christian to do. At that moment, the Christian has access into the grace of God, which is God's free gift. Righteousness is the free gift of God and the righteousness of God then flows to the Christian. If the Christian will submit his or her members to the Spirit of God, then God does His righteousness through the Christian. The Christian does the work, yet it is not the Christian but Christ in the Christian doing the work. When God does His righteousness through the Christian, this plants holy seed into the heart of the Christian. The old sinful person, the flesh dies a little bit each time. The Christ within is built up. This holy seed grows in the heart and brings more fruit, which, in turn, plants more holy seed. At the same time, the Christian is set free from sin in some measure--this is the meaning of the word, redemption. This is the relationship that God desires to have with every person. This process proceeds through the Body of Christ. Each member of the Body of Christ, each Christian, is a manifestation of the living Christ in the Earth. Each member is being fitted for a specific place of service within this Body, and the Body of Christ continues to grow until the full manifestation of the sons of God takes place at the end of the age.
True Christianity depends on the revelation that Jesus is God. Only God could pay the price for the sin of every person who ever lived or will live. A Christian's life is all about a relationship with the One Almighty Creator God, the God Who is Love. This relationship is very close and personal. It is a relationship of submission to the Holy Spirit. The human mind was never created to be operated without the Anointing of the Holy Spirit flowing through it with the human mind in complete submission. The same is true of the body. Spiritual death is defined as a condition where the human spirit, mind, or body is not in complete submission to the Holy Spirit.
God has revealed that He is a loving forgiving, but totally righteous, God. Christians have been forgiven for their sins because of the blood of Jesus. Jesus paid the price of the sins of every person. The Christian is required to see reality, that is, to have the humility to realize that they have fallen short of the glory of God and that they need the Savior to deliver them. And Christians no longer are forced to continually obey their own flesh so that even their own self-righteousness is as filthy rags. Christians can yield to the Holy Spirit and allow God to do His righteousness through them. God does not force Christians to yield, however. Many Christians are born again and remain as babes in Christ, but they will not be found among the faithful. Some Christians attempt in vain to establish their own righteousness, a self-righteousness, and so they are unable to receive the free gift of righteousness that comes from the throne of God, but they will not be found among the faithful. If Christians willingly abandon their self-righteousness and self-dependence and believe God rather than their own understanding, and if they stop contending against Jesus but rather accept Him and His free gift, then God will totally deliver them at the end of this present age. If a Christian dies in the meantime, they are together with Christ in glory and they join that great cloud of witnesses who have been faithful but have not yet obtained the promise.
Those who receive God's salvation are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. Christians know that they have received the free gift (grace) of forgiveness of sins. Christians can know that they are going to heaven because of the goodness of God. All that is required is that a person not reject the free gift.

Evolution's Worldview of the Works of Jesus
Back to Top |
Most Evolutionists reject the works of Jesus.
Evolutionism is incompatible with the concept of salvation because Evolutionism puts death before sin. The Salvation message of the Bible puts sin before death and explains that death is caused by sin. When sin is taken out of the way, death and suffering are taken out of the way. Because Adam sinned, death followed, just as God had warned. Because all have sinned, death has followed all of humanity. Because of sin, it is appointed unto men once to die... so Christ died as our substitute. Under Evolutionism, none of that makes any sense.
Since they have rejected the biblical account of creation, it is difficult for them to believe in the miracles Jesus performed. It is also more difficult for Evolutionists to accept the fact that Jesus still lives and still performs miracles through His people.
|
Jesus lived a holy life without sin, died as a substitution for us, descended into hell and rose again in three days, and ascended into Heaven to save us from sin, death, and the power of Satan. He conquered sin, sickness and death on the cross.
Jesus now sits at the right hand of the Father interceding for us. He is the only source of forgiveness or access to the Father. Those who don't except His work are not accepting the Father and are dooming themselves to judgment.
Jesus works in the lives of believers, helping us to apply and take advantage of His victory in our lives through the Holy Spirit and helping us to grow in Christ.
Jesus Christ will, in God's appointed time, return to the earth to raise the dead, judge and rule over the nations with His Church, the Body of Christ, in His everlasting Kingdom.

Evolution's Worldview of Authority
Back to Top |
All of evolution tells a fabricated story about death before sin. This is just the opposite of the biblical story and does not agree with empirical science.
If death is not the cause of sin as the Bible plainly states, then the righteousness of Jesus cannot undo the mess that sin started. In fact, under the rules of Evolutionism, death is a good thing. In the Bible, sin is an enemy. Evolutionism makes salvation irrelevant.
If a person decides that they are not going to believe the part of the Bible that speaks of creation and beginnings, then that person can, by the same thought process, decide that they are not going to believe any other part of the Bible. At that point, this person's authority is not the Bible but his or her own mind. People who believe the stories of Evolutionism are Rationalists and Relativists, not Biblical Christians.
If you can throw out part of the Bible, then, by the same thought process, you can throw out the whole Book. However, no one has ever found an error in the Bible. What is thought to be a firm fact in "science" today, is likely to be regarded as foolish superstition tomorrow. It always was superstition. That reversal of scientific "fact" happens constantly, but it has never happened with the Bible.
|
Contrary to the teachings of Evolution, the Bible (Old & New Testaments) as revealed to the hearts and minds of believers by the power of the Spirit but not by the corrupt natural human mind, is the unique, revealed, factual, accurate, & inspired Word of God, the sole authoritative writing for faith & practice. A dissimilarity to the claimed authority of Evolution is that the teachings of the Bible have been shown to be absolutely accurate in every way by every test possible.
Unlike the teachings of Evolution, God speaks directly through the Bible, creation, the conscience, and other believers. When God speaks, He never conflicts with his revealed Word in the Bible and never conflicts with His creation.
Another way that God's revelation is unlike the teachings of Evolution: God reveals and gives the interpretation of Scripture. God forbids any human speculation, imagination, assumption, presumption, presupposition, rationalization, or anything else that adds to or takes from Scripture. The Scripture is very clear in stating that the human mind is evil, deceptive, and untrustworthy to the point that our own minds can deceive us. The battle is for the mind with Satan and the flesh on the one side and the Holy Spirit joined to the redeemed human spirit on the other side.
The teachings of Evolution do not agree with the revelation that the Church, as it is defined in the Bible, has authority. The human-designed deviations from the Scriptural church dilute this authority. Within the church, there are gifts, offices, and ministries, all of whom have a Bible-defined authority. Scripture defines those who have authority to receive the interpretation of the Bible and administer doctrine to the church.
There is a disparity with the teachings of Evolution in that God has declared that there is one and only one truth. Truth is not relative but it is very precise and tangible. Truth is found in Jesus Christ. Whatever God has not revealed and led in is sin. Each Christian, and also every unsaved person, is responsible to find God through Jesus Christ. Whoever seeks Him does find Him. He does speak to them. While the Bible has definitive truth, the Bible is not God. God must reveal the meaning of the Bible to His people. His primary authority for interpreting the Bible is through apostles. Because of the spiritual war that is currently raging, Satan introduces counterfeits of every reality, so Satan introduces false apostles. However, God assures us that we can know the difference by the Spirit of God. The false apostles will give themselves away by their works.

Evolution's Worldview of a Humanity
Back to Top |
Most Evolutionists think that humanity is basically good. That is odd, because, in the Evolutionistic worldview, there is no room for a value judgment. In other words, there are logical contradictions in Evolutionism's worldview of humanity. |
A polarizing teaching of Evolution is in conflict with the revelation that men and women were created by God, and that, at the time of their creation, they were good--as was everything else. At that time, God set man in authority over the rest of creation.
In comparison to the teachings of Evolution, the followers of Christ realize that they were created to be joined to Jesus Christ, to have a continual flow of the Anointing of His Holy Spirit through them so that the Spirit will continually lead them and the Creator will do His work through them.
Another way that God's revelation diverges from the teachings of Evolution is that the followers of Christ know that man obeyed Satan and became servant of Satan, and in this way, brought all creation under the control of Satan, so humans, in their natural state, are totally corrupted and in slavery to Satan and sin. This fall into sin separated man from God. Outside of the salvation that God has given through Christ, there is no hope for any person to do righteousness. Humanity is lost in sin and the result is death. The mind of man has been corrupted by the fall and is deceitful and desperately wicked. Each person is a trinity, body, soul, and spirit, and is dead to God, body, soul, and spirit, unless joined to God through trusting in the work of Jesus.
Here is a further disagreement with the teachings of Evolution--because of the fall into sin, humanity was brought into slavery to Satan. The followers of Christ are set free from being slaves of their own desires. God is working with followers of Christ through faith to untangle many lies that come from the father of all lies. If they listen, God will set them completely free, that is, redeem them. Those who are following Christ are redeemed in their spirits, having a close relationship with the Holy Spirit as they worship in spirit and in truth. The current battle is to redeem the mind. The final redemption will the redemption of the body spoken of in Romans and 1 Corinthians. The Bible says that man is appointed once to die and after this the judgment--and so Christ died for every man.
Another way to distinguish between the teachings of Evolution the revelation of the Bible is the fact that the Bible teaches that man (and woman) is a three-part entity, spirit, soul, and body. The soul is the mind, life, and heart--these are synonyms. The human spirit and the human soul were never created to operate outside of a union with God. Jesus prayed for this union when He prayed, "I pray that they all may be one..."
The followers of Christ were created to walk from glory to every-increasing glory by the Spirit of God. Actually, every person was created for this purpose. In this age, some are disobedient to that call. A remnant will be found faithful.
Followers of Christ have been the power behind the English and the U.S. movements to abolish slavery. Biblical Christianity has no place for the concept of races. We are all descendents of Adam. All of humanity is one race. Among the descendents of Adam, those who are born again have been born into the family of God. All who have not been born again have chosen to remain true to their father, Satan. Each person makes this choice. All are free to choose to come into God's family by putting their faith in Jesus and committing themselves to Him.
True Christianity respects women and does not make them a lesser creation.

Evolution's Worldview of the Human Problem
Back to Top |
Most Evolutionists take a Liberal view of the human problem. |
The problem is sin. Sin is anything that is not done in response to the leading of God, that is not done by God's miraculous righteousness working through us, or both. In the Garden of Eden, this took the form of Eve believing and obeying the serpent rather than God. In other words, whenever a man or woman sets out to establish their own righteousness, this is sin. Sin is human will that is not in submission to God's will. All sin is a lack of love, because God is love. All righteousness is a free gift from God. Those who reject Jesus do so because they don't want the righteousness of God. When the law is understood, with it's many just and holy commandments, it is the manifestation of God in His people. This active work of sin has continued in all of mankind until today.
Unlike the teachings of Evolution, The Bible teaches that human beings are sold into sin due to the fall that is recorded in Genesis, slaves of Satan and must be bought back out of slavery by the blood of Christ. Christians are fully aware of the totally lost condition of all human beings, the inability of human beings to do good works, and the one Holy Creator God's great gift of giving His one and only way of salvation through acceptance of the atoning work of His one, unique Son, Jesus Christ. Christians do not miss all the benefits of holiness, righteousness, peace, glory, love, and joy that can only be found through Jesus. Christians are those who do not rebel against God and His free salvation, which is through Christ. Christians choose heaven rather than hell.
God's plan for humanity is very high. Sin is falling short of God's plan.
In contrast to the teachings of Evolution, sin is failure to obey God, but sin is much more. God created man in a certain way to be guided by the Spirit of God by grace through faith. Whatever does not follow this pattern of guidance is sin.
In variance with the teachings of Evolution that the death of millions of creatures have created all that we see, God is good, and God is love, and God created a world that was good but that fell away from Him. Sin, on the other hand, is the lack of Love. God has a will and is a personal God. Sin is self-will or obedience to other spirits. Humanity was designed to be completely filled with the fullness of God at all times. Unlike the teachings of Evolution, God desires to lead us at every moment in every detail. He desires that we hear His voice and respond in submission. We were created for this. We were created to respond by yielding to the Spirit of God and allowing God to do His works through us.
In stark contrast to the teachings of Evolution, the problem is that, since the fall, humanity is hopelessly in slavery to Satan and cut off from God, and all creation has been corrupted by sin. That is the reason that death, sorrow, sickness, and trouble exists. Evolutionism, on the other hand, says that death brought about life. Human beings are sold into sin, slaves of Satan and must be bought back out of slavery by the blood of Christ. true Christians are fully aware of the totally lost condition of all human beings, the inability of human beings to do good works, and the one Holy Creator God's great gift of giving His one and only way of salvation through acceptance of the atoning work of His one, unique Son, Jesus Christ. Christians do not miss all the benefits of holiness, righteousness, peace, glory, love, and joy that can only be found through Jesus. Christians are those who do not rebel against God and His free salvation, which is through Christ. Christians choose heaven rather than hell.
A true Christian's life is all about a relationship with God. This relationship is very close and personal. It is a relationship of submission to the Holy Spirit. The human mind was never created to be operated without the Anointing of the Holy Spirit flowing through it with the human mind in complete submission. The same is true of the body. Spiritual death is defined as a condition where the human spirit, mind, or body is not in complete submission to the Holy Spirit.

Evolution's Worldview of the Solution to the Human Problem
Back to Top |
Most Evolutionists take a Liberal view of the solution to the human problem. |
Salvation from humanity's sin and depravity requires forgiveness from God. This forgiveness results in the New Birth. Forgiveness and being born again are, and can only be, attained through faith in Jesus Christ, God's Son, and in His efficacious death on the cross of Calvary and His resurrection from the dead. Without being born again, no one can see, or enter the Kingdom of God. Everyone who has faith in Jesus Christ is born again, and that no other action, gift, baptism, or any other such thing is needed for a person to be born again.
When a person is born again they are a member of the Church--the Church is the called out Body of Christ made up of the ministries of all the believers.
Righteousness is a free gift from God and that it is part of our salvation. Faith gives us access into grace, the free gift. The free gift includes both forgiveness and righteousness. Righteousness is obtained by drawing near to God and yielding to God.
Righteousness is in the moment. It is the flow of God's love through a human being. Holiness/Sanctification is the establishment of God's righteousness in the mind/soul of a person. Holiness is established by submission to the righteousness of God. Holiness represents a stability in the heart; it is a permanent transformation. Holiness is progressive as we yield ourselves to the Holy Spirit. Redemption is also progressive. Redemption is being set free from sin. Redemption is being set free to serve God.
For a Christian who is following Christ, Christianity is not a religion. Christianity is an ongoing relationship. It is an unfolding revelation of the living Christ. Jesus is the only source of righteousness. As a Christian yields to Jesus, the Holy Spirit both leads that Christian into righteousness and also does the righteousness of God through the Christian. This leads to holiness and also to redemption from slavery to sin. Yielding to sin, even for Christians, brings bondage to sin.
Salvation is a process that begins with being born again and progresses from glory to ever increasing glory. Salvation is by God's free gift and God's free gift is received through believing and receiving God. God is love, so to receive God is to receive love. Love is righteousness and the fulfillment of the law. When we yield to God, His love does His righteousness through us and fulfills all of God's law. God's love and revelation is always in complete harmony with the Bible, God's word. This is the way in which we are born again into the Kingdom of God. And this is the way in which we proceed from glory to glory to the manifestation of the sons of God, the redemption of our bodies, the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.

Evolution's Worldview of Ethics, Values, and Morals
Back to Top |
Most Evolutionists take a Liberal view of ethics, values, and morals. Of course, the concept of ethics and morals both would require absolutes. Evolutionism brings with it relativism, so there can be no true ethics or morality. There can only be values, and those can be fashioned to the liking of each person. Evolutionists have various ways of rationalizing their morals and ethical positions.
Evolutionists work very hard at censoring any speech about Creation science, especially in the schools. Evolutionists are opposed to the free exercise of religion, particularly the free speech of those who follow Jesus.
Bias of Unbiased Scientists
|
God gave his law on Sinai, and His law is holy and just and good, but human beings are not able to obey His law. As a result, no one can earn salvation.
In opposition to the teachings of Evolution, salvation brings works, not the other way around. We are saved to good works; good works cannot bring salvation. Good works are a gift from God. They are, in fact, God Himself doing His work through us, and that is only available to the saved.
Because the believer has been born again into God's family, God speaks the word of faith into the heart of the believer. Then, God gives the power to believe and to discern the voice of God from other voices. God gives the power both to will and to do His good pleasure. He actually does the work-it is His grace (free gift) doing the work in the believer. Then, He rewards the believer as if the believer had done something.
Salvation is free in Christ Jesus.
The law can be summed up in one word, love. So when someone commits adultery this is the opposite of love. Satan, for the sake of confusion, calls adultery love, but it is just the opposite. The same is true of envy, murder, covetousness, disrespect for parents, perversion, or any other part of God's law.
The Bible is diverse from the teachings of Evolution. Every form of Evolutionism attempts to blunt the sharp sword of the Spirit, the Word of God. For Evolutionists, the law becomes debatable. God's commands become mute. For those who have been born again, the law is being written on their hearts by the power of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit now becomes the One who guides them and gives them power both to will and to do God's good pleasure. No one can obey God unless it is God both giving them the will do good and also doing the good works though them.
The Bible and the leading of the Holy Spirit are at variance with the teachings of Evolution. The Bible is given as an authoritative guide to the truth, and the Holy Spirit teaches us when we read the Bible, provided we ask for leading and believe that we will receive it.
The Holy Spirit, as He has led the Church, is in disagreement with the teachings of Evolution as the teachings of Evolutionism directly conflict with the teachings of the Bible. The Holy Spirit teaches that the Bible gives us the order for the church and the order of the church is also given for guidance in interpreting the Bible and for understanding what is right and what is wrong

Evolution's Worldview of Judgment
Back to Top |
Most Evolutionists take a Liberal view of Judgment. |
There is a life hereafter: heaven for the righteous, hell for the wicked and rebellious. God Himself is the only One Who makes this judgment.
Resurrection and judgment of all will take place on the day appointed by God. The saved will have everlasting fellowship with the Creator God. Those who have persisted in unbelief will receive judgment according to God's wisdom.
God's judgment is continual also during life. God's judgments are remedial, though they can be very severe. The sufferings that humanity faces are for a purpose in God's love. God has no pleasure in correcting anyone through His judgment. God's judgment starts with gentle leading, speaking to each person who lives. If that person receives the direction of God, they will first receive supernatural belief in Jesus as Savior to deliver them from both the punishment for their sins and to also deliver them from their sins. From their, God will lead them from glory to glory by the Spirit of the Lord. The path of the just is as a shining light that shines more and more until that day when Christ is fully and completely formed in the members of the Body of Christ as they flow into that total unity with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Unlike the teachings of Evolution, God uses punishment as a way to bring those He loves to Himself. For those who are not obedient to the Spirit of God, it becomes more difficult the longer they refuse to submit to God.
Even now, Jesus is the resurrection and the life and we can partake of his life to a degree.
