Homosexual Marriage: What does God say about it?

By Barbara Parker

A couple of weeks ago the United States Supreme Court handed down their verdict that homosexual marriage should be legal in all 50 states. 

The President thought the matter closed and said we should all accept it as a done deal and go on about living like it was the most natural thing in the world.

The Boy Scouts decided that their troops could have gay leaders. It was up to the individual troops to decide.

The army decided it was fine for transgender folks to serve in the military.

The Republican Party now has a problem, whether to decide to shelve the issue or raise it up in Congress and pass legislation undoing the damage caused by the Supreme Court.

Some folks want the right to vote Federal Judges out of office when they get to acting too high handed. It does not seem right that some appointed judges can change laws at the mere flick of a gavel that have taken years to put in place by the voting public.

Of course they pay no attention to God or the scriptures that vehemently put down the whole homosexual issue.  

On A Personal Level

God hates it and calls it an abomination. In Leviticus 18:22 the Old Testament law states, you shall not lie with a man as with a woman. It is an abomination.

John states in Revelation 21:27 those who work abomination will not be allowed into the holy city New Jerusalem.

The apostle Paul stated in a letter to the Corinthians, I Cor. 6:9-10 (Amplified) v9 Do you not know that the unrighteous and the wrongdoers will not inherit or have any share in the Kingdom of God? Do not be deceived (misled) neither the impure and immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor those who participate in homosexuality, v 10 nor cheaters, (swindlers and thieves) nor greedy graspers, nor drunkards, nor foulmouthed revilers and slanderers, nor extortioners and robbers will inherit or have any share in the Kingdom of  God.

In Genesis 19:4-8 God destroyed Sodom and Gohmorrah for

Sodomy.  They tried to sodomize the angels who came to spend the night at Lot’s house.

You can see one of the destroyed cities of the plain from atop Masada in Israel.

Romans 1:24-28 God gave them up to uncleanness (lesbianism and homosexuality).

God promises to severely judge those who practice such a life style by throwing them into the lake of fire.

I don’t think they are born with it but they are convinced they were by Satan himself, because he wants plenty of company while he’s burning in the fiery lake.

The only other reason I can come up with is they’ve drunk too much recycled water with left over birth control medication in it.  Perhaps it has screwed up their sexuality.

On A National Level

 

If you believe in a God, then it shouldn't be a stretch that he has judged nations in the past for what conduct they allowed among their citizens. 

 

Look back into history at the countries that practiced such life styles.  They no longer exist in the powerful forms of government that they once did.  Greece fell to Rome.  Rome fell to the Ottomans.  God roasted Sodom and Gohmorrah for such flagrant disregard for his principles, Gen.19:24-29.

And, the biggest example has to be the long tale of his very own covenant people, the Jews, who claimed a nation with the greatest of ease with his help, and then later were allowed to be consumed by other nations for their disobedience and falling away from their deal.

Is that what we want for our beloved USA.? If he is willing to let the nation of his covenant fall for not following his commandments, why should we expect any less for the US? If we continue down the path we're following, the US will certainly see its demise.

You won't necessarily be safe in other portions of the world, either.

 

All these people coming out of the closet may want to scurry back in there when the Muslims try to take over the world, as their agenda is to kill all Christians, Jews, and Homosexuals because none of them follow Shariah Law.

So, if the Muslims kill you and then God judges you and tosses you into the lake of fire what have you really gained by all this homosexual marriage?  

Evolution: Does Geological Evidence Prove It Impossible?

By Barbara Parker

Ideas derived from THE TWILIGHT OF EVOLUTION by Dr. Henry Morris. 

The first law of thermodynamics says energy can be transformed in various ways, but can neither be created nor destroyed.

Evolution says that increasing organization and integration and development is continually taking place in the present.

The second law of thermodynamics says if left to itself any isolated system will go toward greater entropy, greater randomization, and greater disorganization. (confirmed law)

Evolution is the exact opposite (theory).  Evolution relies on uniformitarianism to explain the geologic features of our Earth’s crust. “The processes we see at work on the crust today are sufficient to account for all the events of the past that have formed the Earth’s crust.”

If one truly pays attention to the two laws of thermodynamics, it becomes obvious that evolution is impossible.

It used to be that Geologists believed that the features of our crust were formed by a series of catastrophes.  The destruction and chaos caused by a global flood would have resulted in a certain stratified order.

There would have been a tendency for sediments and organisms which occupied the lowest elevations at the time of the flood to have been buried deepest by the receding flood waters. So simple marine organisms and marine sediments would tend to be buried the deepest, followed by fish and more complex sea creatures, on top of that reptiles, amphibians, still higher up mammals and finally man.

Another factor would be specific gravity and hydrodynamic drag. In plain English, each particle of material, along with the remains of each creature would tend to fall out of the water via gravity. Organisms of high density and simple structure would settle most quickly and be buried deepest. Due to the hydrodynamic selectivity fossils would have been sorted with organisms of similar shape and size sinking together.

Also organisms capable of escaping the flood waters would have scrambled to higher ground.  Simpler, less mobile, smaller creatures would have been trapped first and buried deepest. This would mean that most men and higher animals would have floated on the water at death or until decomposed and never buried in the sediment at all.

These three factors would have produced a fairly well graded series of layers of deposits which would increase in size and complexity with the higher elevations of burial.

This is exactly the general order found in the fossil record.

Noah’s great world wide flood offers a highly reasonable solution to the enigma of the fossil record. Any system of historical geology that ignores the effects of a global flood must be a large fallacy.

 

The Story is In The Stars

By Ben Parker

Time for a little insight on prophecy: I think this year is the year to start The Time of Jacob's Troubles. And, it will specifically start on the Feast of Trumpets, colloquially known as the Day That No Man Knows in Jewish tradition.

Why?

Well, it's not any one big thing that's tipping me off. I've had a sense of urgency regarding Christ's return in for the last 3 or 4 years.

But it's more than that. It's a lot of little revelations I've gleaned in those years.

The first being the fact that the sky, especially the night sky, is God's Clockwork.

Don't believe me? Check out this interesting site, and especially the video, regarding the star that the Wise Men used to discern the arrival of the Jewish Messiah King and where to find him.

http://www.bethlehemstar.net

I saw this video on DVD, and it is very convincing. One wonders if maybe a lot of references in Revelation aren't also related to events in the heavens.

This opened my eyes to the idea that the stars do have meaning in God's narrative and prophecy. It led me to look for other significant events.

Not but a few days ago, we had something of a similar occurrence when Jupiter and Venus converged to become a really big bright star. If we assume that Jupiter represents God, and Venus is the Messiah, then that convergence is significant, especially since it happens very close to Regulus: the King's star.

Secondly, We are still inside the year long Tetrad, which is 4 full blood moons within a year's span. 3 have happened already, and the fourth is to happen on the Feast of Tabernacles this august.

Each Tetrad saw something significant happen with Israel or the Jewish people in the last century.

There are only two events of note, so this happens to be the third… a trinity.

And, what festival precedes the Feast of Tabernacles? The little known Feast of Trumpets.

The Feast of Trumpets is an interesting event. As it implies, there are trumpet blasts involved. 100 times are they sounded during the day. The last trump is the longest and loudest. During this event, back when there was a temple, people who heard the blast were supposed to drop everything and run to the temple before the gates closed, or they would be locked out. That was generally a bad thing when it came to rituals and the law.

This should sound familiar. Jesus related this same style event regarding a wedding and 12 blushing brides of two different temperaments.

Jesus was Jewish. Wouldn't it stand to reason that he would speak in euphemisms that his own people would understand?

The reason this is known as The Day That No Man Knows is because the first trumpet isn't sounded until the sighting of the new moon, signifying the start of the new year and the start of the Jewish calendar.

There should be another story or description from Jesus's mouth that comes to mind regarding his return. "No man knows the day nor the hour but my father in heaven."

Now I'm not exactly certain if that's a direct translation or not. I've recently discovered that a lot of english translations were skewed to the already preconceived doctrines of the translator. I don't have a concordant new testament yet, but supposedly that is the most direct, because more and more people are recognizing that the telephone game has been in effect for a long time when it comes to translating from Greek or Hebrew to something you or I can understand.

Still, it sounds a lot more like a Jewish Euphemism than a direct statement or commandment.

Why is this significant? It is suggested that Jesus fulfilled each of the late year feast days up to his sacrifice. Many believe that he will fulfill all the early year festivals with his return, starting with the Feast of Tabernacles, although I think the Feast of Trumpets will also be one of them.

What's interesting is this year, the Feast of Trumpets comes early, on September 15th.

What's really interesting about that date is that it will also feature a partial solar eclipse. There have been 2 partial such eclipses in the midst of the Tetrad along with a complete bifurcating the first two Blood Moons from the Second 2.

I've recently discovered a neat little book that I'm about to delve into that discusses the meaning of the stars as it relates to Jewish custom and how the heavens really do tell the story God has given us through prophetic means and other forms of insight over the years. I plan on delving into that and some of the other concepts I've brought up more fully in the future.

As it stands, regardless of the hour or whether it's the 15th or 16th come the new moon no matter what part of the world you're on, I expect that We will see him make some sort of appearance - like maybe taking up his forgiven to keep them from the hour of testing coming to the whole world. That would be the 'Rapture'.

I think that come 16 September 2015, The tribulation will be on its way and the prophetic clockwork will be in full motion.

Woe to the inhabitants on the Earth in those days.

Did Job Live With Dragons?

By Barbara Parker

When you read the description of the monster Leviathan in Job chapter 41, he sounds amazingly like a fire breathing dragon. The Amplified Bible calls him a crocodile. But how many crocodiles have you ever seen that meet this description? 41:18 says “By his neesings a light doth shine and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.” Verse 19 - “Out of his mouth go burning lamps and sparks of fire leap out.” Verse 26 – “Out of his nostrils goes smoke, as a seething pot or cauldron.”  Verse 21 – “His breath kindleth coals and a flame goeth out of his mouth.”

He is such an amazing creature that God devotes an entire chapter to his description.

Job was written in the time of the patriarchs. He may have known Jacob. It was written before Exodus. Eliphaz one of Jobs friends who came to comfort him was descended from Esau. Scripture says he was Esau’s eldest son. Gen. 36:10

Job was from the land of Uz. Uz was the grandson of Shem and great grandson of Noah.

The Chinese always had dragon stories in their folklore. I have found there usually is a bit of truth in legends. So maybe they actually did exist. 

Noah - the Movie versus Noah - Scriputural Story

By Barbara Parker

We’ve probably all seen the new movie about Noah.  I was a tad bit disappointed because they hadn’t followed what the scriptures say about the incident. There seemed to be a large amount of poetic license taken with the incident, to the point that I barely recognized the story at all. I went back to the bible narrative of Noah’s adventure. This is what I discovered.

Scripture says that Noah was 500 when God decided to flood the earth and destroy most of Mankind. God was unhappy with people because they were violent and every imagination of their minds was evil. He decided to save Noah, his wife, and his sons and daughters in-law to start the whole population over again. When the flood came, Noah was 600 years of age. It may have taken Noah nearly 100 years to build his boat, considering its finished size. All he had for help were his three sons and wife.

Noah’s ark was to be 450 ft. x 75 ft. x 45 ft. A football field is 100 yards or 300 ft. The boat would have been a foot ball field and a half long. At 45 feet high we have 3 stories according to Scripture.  It contained rooms. Amplified Bible says stalls, pens, coops, nests, cages, and compartments. It was built out of gopher or cypress wood. Noah covered it inside and out with pitch or bitumen.

Gen. 6:16 says it was to have a window 18 inches above, and a door in the side which God himself closed 7 days before the rain started. The movie depicts Noah closing the door as the rain is falling and nearly drowning in the process.

Noah took on the ark all of the animals God directed plus Noah, his wife and three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japeth, along with their three wives.

According to the movie only one son has a wife. The other two sons have to wait for her to give birth to twin baby girls and for them to grow up before they can have wives.

Scripture says that after Noah turned 500 he became the father of Shem, Ham, and Japeth. They may actually have been triplets. It isn’t real clear.

Scripture says that Shem was 98 when he boarded the boat. The movie depicts Japeth as about 12.

According to scripture there were 8 of them that boarded the boat. The movie only shows six. The movie-Noah thinks God wants to destroy all mankind, including him and his family. The Bible-Noah had spoken with God and knew he planned to save Noah’s family to repopulate the earth.

It rained 40 days and nights. Also the fountains of the deep were broken up and the windows and flood gates of heaven were opened. The canopy of the earth came down. According to scientists who study the flood, losing the canopy would have changed the climate of the planet bringing about the 4 seasons, one being winter. The earth had never experienced winter before. It was warm with lush vegetation clear to the poles.

Noah was 601 when he exited the ark. Scripture says the whole earth was dry by then. He and his family had occupied the ark for a year and 10 days. The ark came to rest on Mount Ararat in Armenia.

Noah lived another 350 years for a total of 950 years.  If you total up the years in his genealogy in chapter 11, he may still have been alive at the time of Abraham.
