This will blow you away...

After watching the Hallelujah chorus I had tears running down my cheeks. Then I clicked on this (if you laugh at it you are a bit sick. I laughed):

I Hope Some Day You'll Join Us...

No doubt many of you have seen this wonderful clip (it's been getting a few views lately).

See if you can figure the message:

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
The kingdom of this world
Is become the kingdom of our Lord,
And of His Christ, and of His Christ;
And He shall reign for ever and ever.

There is a new world coming for all those that love God, where there will be pleasure for evermore. I can't wait! Christians sure have something to sing about. Atheists don't have a prayer.

We love you; care about you, and want you to join us. Repent and trust the Savior this Christmas. You will be eternally thankful you did.

Evolution of the Human Body

"I personally don't believe in an afterlife as I see no evidence for one, and why would there be? How can your consciousness still exist if you don't have a functioning brain? Show me how it would work and I'll rethink my position." Andy Duchemin

Your consciousness is your self-realization. It is the real perceptive you--something the Bible calls your "soul." Skeptics often object to the soul-word because it has connotations of God, and therefore moral responsibility. However, it is just a biblical synonym for the word "life," and who would argue that life exists within the human body?

It is life that motives the body. When someone dies, the person/life/soul passes on. Some have a belief the life ceases at that point, while the Scriptures make it clear that at death the person does indeed "pass on," and he or she passes on into eternity.

Over a lifetime the human body changes. It evolves. One glance at old photos reminds the 84 year-old that he looks radically different than he did when he was 14 years old. Different though his body is, he is still the same soul, with a lot more knowledge and experience.

I have a friend who was born without arms and legs. Despite having half a body, Nick is a compete soul, full of vibrant life, has great faculties, and he loves God with all of his heart, mind, and soul. If one of his lungs was to be removed, or a kidney, he would still be a complete personality...a complete soul.

Each of us are more than the four pounds of flesh we call a "brain." It only functions because life works through it. When the soul leaves the body, the brain no longer works because life is no longer there. So to say that there is no soul because the brain stops working after death, doesn't prove there is no soul. It proves the very opposite. The brain no longer registers consciousness, because the soul has left.

"For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" (Mark 8:36).For Evangelism Resources, please visit LivingWaters.com.

Christmas Quiz

"spencer7593 said...a quick Christmas quiz: 1. Which of the four gospel authors (Matthew, Mark, Luke or John) records the Christmas story of the Magi (the 'three wisemen') following the star to visit Jesus after his birth? 2. Which of the three remaining gospel authors records the Christmas story of the shepherds visiting the scene of Jesus birth? 3. Which of the two remaining gospel authors records the Christmas story that includes a great red dragon?"

I was tempted for a moment to answer your cynicism with sarcasm. However, I will answer it with good old common sense. In a court case, when witnesses seem to disagree on what they saw, a wise lawyer doesn't discount them as liars. Rather, he sees where they can harmonize so that he can see the complete picture.

Despite cut and paste silliness from atheist websites, the four gospel writers harmonize perfectly. However, if you don't want them to, they won't. You will be like a rebellious child who deliberately picks up a wrong piece of a jigsaw pizzle, and when it doesn't fit, he throws a fit.For Evangelism Resources, please visit LivingWaters.com.

Today's Sunrise...

Job 9:7 "Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars." And everyone knows that the Earth doesn't move and the Sun actually orbits the Earth making the Sun rise! Right? Job 26:11 "The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof." And the sky is on pillars too? Seriously?... Job 37:18 "Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass?" How does NASA get through that molten glass with out breaking it or crashing it? Job 38:13 "That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?" Answer those problems Ray from that ONE book." HopeYourGuessMyName

You and other atheists, who find all these mistakes in God's Word, must be thrown into confusion when your local forecaster tells you what time the sun rises each day. Or you must be rolling on the floor when a newsreader tells you that a reporter went to the ends of the earth to cover a story.

If you want to point to metaphors or figures of speech as your examples of mistakes, you should have gone to the Book of Revelation. It's full of them. Here's a good one for you to use, from Isaiah: God said that Israel was the apple of His eye. Ha! We all know that eyes don't have apples in them.

And why would you believe that the earth doesn't move, when modern science has discovered that it's moving at 66,600 mph through space, and at the same time it's spinning at a 1,000 miles-per-hour? Perhaps you live in an earthquake-free country, and you've never felt the earth move. Or maybe you thought Carole King was scientifically illiterate when she sang,

"I feel the earth move under my feet; I feel the sky tumbling down..."

Sky tumbling down! Seriously.

You may also like to explain to international pilots your belief that everyone knows the earth doesn't move, and that will save them having to allow for the earth's rotation, when they plan their flight path.

After quoting "Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass?" you sarcastically ask "How does NASA get through that molten glass with out breaking it or crashing it?"

The answer is that they have to send the shuttle into the sky at an incredible 17,500MPH to break through it. When a space vehicle passes through that shield, it doesn't break it. It breaks through it. Didn't you know that? Without the shield of the five atmospheric layers, we would all be dead. So you can thank God that He placed that protective layer around the earth.For Evangelism Resources, please visit LivingWaters.com.

"People are Truly Good at Heart..."

"It's a wonder I haven't abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart." from the Diary of Anne Frank (last entry). Your God damns her to hell after the hell she lived through. Your suggestion that she deserved eternity in hell because your God is so just is revolting." MollyKnits

It seems that you are more upset at God, rather than the Nazis. Are you agreeing with Anne Frank, that the Nazis weren't that bad after all? I hope not. And why would you be even slightly concerned, when you don't believe that Hell or God exist?

Also, you have no reason to be upset because the Germans devoured the Jews. This is the process of evolution you champion; and if God ultimately devours Anne Frank, your cruel process of evolution continues into eternity.

Rather, you choose not to believe that God is rich in mercy, and because of that, you end up with a revolting image that you have created in your own mind. The merciless Jew-damning god you are so upset by, doesn't exist.

Don't forget that when Anne Frank said that she believed that people were truly good at heart, she was still in hiding with her family. Her naive faith in human goodness may have been shaken when she and her family were taken to Auschwitz in 1944, and her father was separated from her.

At 15 years old, she was then forced to strip naked, disinfected, had her head shaved, and was tattooed with an identifying number on her arm. She was then used as slave labor until disease caused her skin to became badly infected by scabies. She was then moved to an "infirmary," that was in a state of constant darkness and infested with disease-ridden rats.

The last time Anne was seen by two of her friends, most of her precious family were dead. She was bald, emaciated and shivering. In February, 1945 she told her friends that she didn't want to live any longer. In March of the same year, she tragically died.

America has it's own holocaust, with government-sanctioned murder of over 50 million babies, since Roe vs Wade. Around 200,000 people were murdered in the U.S. during the 1990's, and 30,000 slaughtered recently by the Mexican cartel, in drug wars. If you truly believe that man is good, then leave your front door open tonight. The odds are that you will be a statistic in the morning.

I'm hoping to see Anne Frank in Heaven. I hope to see you there also.For Evangelism Resources, please visit LivingWaters.com.

Welcome to the Atheist Church

"But woe unto you that are rich! for you have received your consolation. Woe to you that are full! for you shall hunger. Woe to you that laugh now! for you shall mourn and weep. Woe to you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets" (Luke 6:24-26).

It's sometimes said that the teachings of Jesus weren't original, however, there's no basis for the claim. No one has ever said the things that Jesus said. Look at His amazing words. He spoke against those who were rich, those who weren't hungry, those who laughed, and those who had the approval of others. Yet, who in his right mind doesn't want to be financially secure, have enough food on the table, and to be happy and popular?

But Scripture must be interpreted with Scripture. These statements are in the context of those who forget their Creator. The rich tend to do that. Their money becomes their god, and in their god do they trust. It's the source of their joy. It provides their security for the future. It's their first love. It takes the place of God, and Jesus warned that it was harder for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter Heaven. But even though Jesus railed upon the rich, He forgave a rich man (Zacchaeus), when he had the good sense to approach Him in humility (see Luke 19:1-9).

Jesus also spoke of a man who had so much wealth he decided to build a large structure, and fill it with his goods. Then he patted himself on the back, because he had planned well for the future. It was then that God called him a fool, and said that death would seize upon him that very night, because he had stored up his treasure on earth and neglected Heaven. So are all those who forget God.

Jesus then warned of ear-tickling preachers--those who will be popular in the eyes of a sin loving world. But their empty praise will be meaningless on Judgment Day.
