Many people today think that if a person is homosexual, it is because they were “born that way.” I don’t agree, neither does God. There are many sins that God directly shows his wrath against in The Bible. In Genesis chapter 19, the events of God’s wrath against homosexuality is written. Genesis 19:24-25 says, “Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven; And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.”

There is even wrath shown against Lot’s wife who did not listen to God. Today, we are being fed the lie that homosexuality is normal and we need to accept it. They have added it to TV programs and advertisements to make us think it should be allowed. Well, The Bible teaches us to love the sinner, but to hate the sin. Look at yourself. Are you free from all sin? I certainly am not. It is covered by The Blood of Jesus, so my sins are forgiven, but I am not free from sin. We all sin. But, sexual immorality is totally against God’s design and He made that pretty clear.

Oh, you don’t think it happened? Well, without the physical evidence, I believe it did… This post is short as I link to a video I hope will be available as long as this site is active.

Ron Wyatt also discovered these cities and a lot more… look for Ron Wyatt’s Presentation of Discoveries….. God allowed Ron to find a lot of things and document them before He called him home….

Heavenly Father, I ask that You allow the evidence You have preserved for us to see always be available for us to help people know Your Word, The Bible, is Truth in every way. I thank You for allowing me to see the evidence Ron Wyatt presented, and, as he said, I probably need the physical evidence more than I think I do. Lord, I believe, help my unbelief. I pray this in the name of The Creator Christ, Jesus. Amen.

So many people don’t read The Bible for their own reasons… Some complain about the King James English. Some say they don’t understand all the symbolism. Many people don’t read it because they are mad at God. Many others simply say they don’t believe in God. And others say they don’t care what The Bible says. Some people say they believe in God, but they don’t believe like God says they need to. They believe in the existence of “a god” but that’s all. Well, Satan believes God exists…. he used to work for Him!

Well, I guess if you don’t believe in God, I simply have to ask what you do believe in. I mean everybody has their idea of what will happen when they die. Many don’t think about it until they are deathly ill or have some sort of scare.

So, let’s say you want to start reading The Bible – but where to begin? If you look at the time we are in, many believe we are in the last days before the Rapture. So do you start reading in the middle of the New Testament? Revelation so you are close to the end? I say you start in the beginning. If you are investigating who God is or want to learn more about Him, I say start in Genesis, chapter 1, verse 1. Do not allow other “myths” to overwhelm your reading. The first day was the first 24-hour day. The second day was the second 24-hour day, etc..

I like to listen to The Bible on my phone at night. I can select a book, like Genesis, or Luke, and listen to it being read to me. The more often I read or listen, the more I understand. So don’t think if you struggle a little that you need to stop. Just start over and keep going.

I do not like to call them “stories” because that seems like they are tales or something man came up with. I will refer to them as events. Historical events. Some information may not be included with every documented event, but enough is there to get an understanding.

If you start in Genesis, you will read about the following events: creation, the first sin, God’s relationship with man before and after sin, the first murder, God’s knowledge of everything, demons having sex with women and their offspring, the evil and wickedness of man, Noah and the flood, Abraham and his almost killing of his own son, Jacob, Joseph, the beginning of Israel, the family lineage, the tower of Babel, God’s promises, and more!

Genesis covers everything up to the Egyptians making slaves of the Israelites and the plagues God brought to the Egyptians and the crossing of the Red Sea, in the book right after Genesis, called Exodus.

In order for anyone to understand God’s dealing with mankind today, I think we need to understand how God has always dealt with mankind. God never changes. And you need to understand the history of certain events in order to understand the next things you read.

There are lots of sites you can visit that will give you all kinds of information. I did mine just to do whatever I might be able to do in order to help someone find God and become a Christian.

I think once you get through Genesis, and read/listen to it a couple times, you will have a better understanding of why God does what He does. It is important to remember as much as you can so you can answer some of your own questions later….

Let’s think about “The Flood.” There are flood legends all around the world. Do a little research on your own for that, if you so desire. The reason is, only eight people lived through the flood. So, wherever they went, they told their children and grandchildren about it and they passed it on to their children.

Why the flood? Just before the flood is discussed in The Bible, you see something about “the sons of God” having children with “the daughters of man.” Although the word “nephilim” is not found in the English King James Version, the offspring of these relationships were called nephilim. They were a cross-breed between fallen angels and humans. Some of these were giants and it is believed by some that some of these could be the gods of Greek mythology. But, that is not written in The Bible, so I should skip that for now, but, The Bible says that Noah was a just man and “perfect in his generations.” We believe the perfection in generations means there were no nephilim in his ancestry. In Genesis 6:5, it says “And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” Right behind that are verses 6 and 7 – “[6] And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. [7] And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.”

The wickedness of man upset God so much that He had enough and was going to wipe out life on the Earth. And look at verses 11 and 12 – “[11] The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. [12] And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.” It must have been pretty bad…. the Earth was filled with violence…. sounds like Chicago, New York City, Seattle, and a few other cities in the US and many other places around the world.

If you have checked out my Creation #1 post, you will see what I think the world may have looked like before the flood. I think the water canopy crashed down and water burst forth through the crust of the Earth, creating our current fault lines and breaking up parts of the Earth. It sounds violent to me…. With all that water, it pushed a lot of animals and sand around and buried a lot of animals and people, and formed fossils using the pressure of the dirt and water. This is the only scientific answer for fossils. Any other flesh, whether buried or left out on top of the ground, turns to dust way too fast to make fossils. And fossils are found everywhere, even on the tops of some of the highest mountains.

It took Noah 100 years to build the ark with his sons, and he may have paid other people to help, even if they did not believe in God or the need for the boat. A job is a job, right? It rained and water burst through the Earth for 40 days and 40 nights. The whole time Noah and his family were in the boat was about one full year. I try to think about that when I am in the middle of a noisy and rowdy crowd (very infrequent these days). It was terrible before they got into the ark and only animals and their family for a year. When they got out, most of the animals dispersed and everything else in their world was pretty quiet.

It is interesting just how quickly man’s sin nature takes charge…. Noah’s great-grandson, Nimrod, was the leader of building the tower of Babel. All the people in the world were there working on building a tower to see God. God did not like what was happening, so He had to put an end to it. He decided to confuse the languages of the people so they could not understand each other. I believe God also used skin pigments to show everyone where to go to find people they could understand. We all started with Adam and Eve, and then Noah and his family, so the likelihood that people all looked similar is pretty good. If you can’t understand anyone, and your skin tone matches others, it would make it easy to create the different people groups. That is also why the flood information is all over the world. These people were not far removed from Noah.

I believe there is only one race – human – as far as people go. Nephilim were cross-breeds and angels and demons are their own race. We are all brown-skinned. Some very light brown, some very dark, many shades, including yellow, olive, and reddish tints. I think the first person to call the color variants races was the first racist.

As you progress through The Old Testament, follow it book by book, chapter by chapter. And remember, read/listen to it multiple times before moving on. When you get into some of the more violent books, like 1st and 2nd Samuel, remember the nephilim…. The Bible does not talk about the inter-racial (demons/humans) breeding again, but I believe it is still happening today. God did not want that in the Israeilite bloodline, so He had to destroy others. I believe the UFO’s are actually demons that are trying to get people to believe in beings from another planet, to confuse them about what God says in His Word. More on that in a later post.

I believe that you will come across some symbolic things that you may have a hard time understanding. Do some research, if you so desire, but don’t let it trip you up…. keep reading. One thing to remember is sometimes names are assigned differently – Abram to Abraham, Jacob to Israel, are easy as they are clearly stated in The Bible. Others may not be so clear – the olive tree as Israel, for example. But, think of it as your cousin, Tim. Sometimes you call him Tim, other times it is my cousin, or maybe Tim Smith. All the same person, just different names.

I hope this helps to get you started reading The Bible. I have heard it said the Bible means – Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth. It would be nice to know what it says so you can make an informed decision instead of an uninformed decision. One of my “favorite” chapters is Romans 1. Not because it tells me good things about me, but it tells me everything that is going on today was written of back then. And a certain phrase calls some people “willingly ignorant” – which Kent Hovind so clearly translates to “dumb on purpose.” Don’t be “willingly ignorant,” get to know what the Bible says, how God speaks to you through it.

Father God, we ask that You help each of us find more time to devote to reading Your love story to us, what we refer to as The Bible. It is called “The Word Of God” because of Your gift to us, Your Son, Jesus, being named “The Word Of God.” We ask this in His name. Amen.

The one thing you have to ask yourself is what do you believe and why do you believe it? Then, test your beliefs. Is there any REAL evidence to support what you believe?

I believe The Bible. There is evidence to support it, and I will get into that a lot more later…. But first, Creation #1.

God created the heavens and the Earth.

Three heavens – the air we breathe, “outer space,” and God’s “residence”

Within 6 days, He created everything we can see – the sky, the Sun, all planets and stars, fish, plants, water, birds, worms, man, etc.

Not everyone believes the same about all of this, but, there is scientific evidence that this is a high probability….

I believe the all the land was connected.  This is one answer to how there are fossils of man and animals all over the world.

We know that there is water under the Earth – we drill holes for water wells.

Before the flood, the ice ring protected life from harmful rays from the Sun.  There was a higher atmospheric pressure on the Earth, and the air had a high humidity and it did not rain, but everything needing water got it from the air, lakes, rivers, or other sources.  There was also a higher level of oxygen throughout all the air.

Because of the atmosphere and hyperbaric situation, healing was quick and growth was amazing and everything lived longer than we do today.  Birds, insects, worms, people, and all animals grew to much larger sizes than we see now.  Reptiles grew to immense sizes and that is what the “dinosaurs” were.

At the time of the flood, the waters from under the Earth burst out – creating tectonic plates, moving land masses – water was hot and under pressure – it rose high enough to hit the ice ring around the Earth and caused it to fall apart and rain or fall onto the Earth.  It could be that the volcanos we know of today were the main vents where water came out.  Much of the movement of the land masses cause crashes and mountains were formed where the land was pressured together.

For the flood, Noah spent 100 years building the Ark.  He and his 3 sons were the main workers and they may have had help from others – the Bible never specifies that.  He also may have used animals to move timbers.

This is a picture of Noah’s Ark – well, one end of it…after around 4,000 years of weathering…

So, here is a question – what happened to all the water that was part of the flood?  Once again, there are differing opinions, some backed with scientific facts.  I believe a mixture of things…  I believe God raised up the land to be above the waters, and, based on some science, I believe a large asteroid  may have hit the Earth, knocking it off it’s North/South poles, giving a wobble that causes parts to be colder than ever before.  It caused an almost instant freeze, which caused some animals, and possibly people, to be frozen in an upright position.

Also, during the flood, the waters were moving around a lot.  The violence of the water bursting through the ground and ice falling from the sky, there was a great force and the Earth was still rotating.  This caused many layers of sand/gravel to separate and some to gather in various places, and the pressure from the flood waters turned things into rock, coal, and other things very rapidly.

Also, by God raising up the land to allow the waters to recede, there was some drainage – the Grand Canyon is a good showing of this.  A lot of waterfalls also show this, such as the Niagara Falls.

Noah was given either instructions or knowledge that he needed something to keep the Ark stabilized while the flood was raging on.  The Ark, according to the Bible, rested in “the mountains of Ararat.”  This is in the eastern edge of Turkey.  There have been several people who have claimed they saw the Ark.  Ron Wyatt found Noah’s Ark.  I say this not just because he said he found it, but he tested and investigated and found a lot of evidence in the area.  Ron also found drogue stones.  These were large boulders with holes in them, where a rope would go to tie it to a boat.  As the water deepens, more rope is let out, but the stones keep the boat steady in the water.

Ever since the flood, the ice canopy is gone, oxygen levels dropped, barometric pressure dropped, and life expectancy has been dropping.  This affects all life.  Kent Hovind came up with a chart showing the lifespan of several Bible named people.  The Bible tells how old their father was when they were born and how old he was when he died.  It makes it pretty easy to figure it out, but Dr. Hovind’s chart takes all the work out of it for you.  https://vanderwolf.files.wordpress.com/2016/01/longevitychart.pdf

I, along with many others, believe the Bible’s ancestral information is there for a simple reason.  To tell us how old the Earth is.  It is pretty well known that the radiometric and other forms of “dating” rocks and fossils has been proven inaccurate.  Why come up with a tool when God tells us how old the Earth is in His Word?  According to the Bible and other scientific documents, Jesus was on the Earth around 2,000 years ago.  The flood happened roughly 2,000 years before Jesus’ human time.  Roughly 2,000 (1866) years before that, God created the heavens and the Earth.  That makes the Earth roughly 6000 years old…  The Bible talks about the 1,000 year reign of Christ after His return to Earth.  There are lots of sevens in the Bible…  7,000 years?

There are many people who laugh at my beliefs.  That is OK with me, but they really have issues…  I am not smarter than they are, I just have had my eyes opened to The Truth.

Here are a few verses from the ONLY scientific textbook that has never been proven untrue, but has always been proven true:

• Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? (1 Corinthians 1:20)
• For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. (1 Corinthians 3:19)
• The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. Psalms 14:1)
• The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. (Proverbs 1:7)
• Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, (Romans 1:22)

As a note…fools despise wisdom and instruction.  Do you think wisdom comes from anything that says everything came from nothing and there was no intelligent design, meaning a designer, or Creator, or God?

They say there is no God because they are afraid to realize that there is also a hell.

Now, just to be sure….  Not every Christian believes the same for everything.  Some things are not specified in the Bible and some things are in multiple locations in the Bible, and some people want to add their own reasons of why things are written as they were.

These people tend to share my opinions and I got some of the ideas from them:  Ron Wyatt, Ken Hamm, Carl Baugh, and Kent Hovind.  The late Dr. Walter Martin was also an excellent instructor of Biblical history and facts.

Ron Wyatt did a lot of exploring in Israel and throughout the Middle East.  He has made some amazing discoveries and has videos that cover them.  Some of them include Noah’s Ark, the crossing of the Red Sea, the camp of the Israelites after crossing the Red Sea, Mount Sinai, the rock where God gave the Israelites water, Sodom and Gomorrah, the Ark of The Covenant, and more.  There is a museum in Cornersville, TN, that displays much of his findings.

Dr. Carl Baugh is a researcher who created the Creation Evidence Museum in Glen Rose, TX.  This man has found so many fossils and has proven in more ways than one can imagine, that the Biblical account of creation and the flood are not just possible, but can be proven.  He gives many lectures in many educational facilities and has found human footprints next to dinosaur footprints as well as dinosaur footprints that appear to be following human footprints.

Ken Ham heads up an organization called Answers In Genesis.  He has built a “replica” of Noah’s Ark at the Ark Encounter in northwest Kentucky and a nearby Creation Museum.  Ken speaks around the world for Creation and The Bible.  He has done about as much as anyone can to make you feel like you are actually in Noah’s Ark.

Kent Hovind has a place in Lenox, Alabama, called Dinosaur Adventure Land.  He has made several videos regarding creation, dinosaurs, the age of the earth, how we can know that the Bible is true, and the garden of Eden, among others.  He has had hundreds of debates.  He has been attacked so many times by athiests, that I believe he is going too far, belittling people instead of really attacking their questions.  Kent and I have a few differences of opinion, especially when it comes to the time of the Rapture.

Heavenly Father, thank You for giving us Your Word to explain Your Truth to us. Help us all to get a deeper love and understanding of You and Your Son. Amen.

I believe most people think their lives are not different than most others. I think that is because we mostly think of ourselves as normal. That causes us a lot of issues with misconceptions of what others know. I live in an area with lots of churches. Most people around here know something about the Bible, but that percentage is getting lower and lower all the time.

Sin is doing anything God does not want you to do or not doing something God wants you to do. “How do I know what God wants?” The best way to know what God wants is to read the Bible, and have a personal relationship with Him. Then, a lot of what He wants and does not want is listed in the Bible. Otherwise, talk to God and ask Him to help you do what is right.

The Bible says that we are all born with sin. There is nothing anyone can do to prevent their child from being born with sin. Adam and Eve were created without sin, but after they sinned, we were all down the line. So what are the things the Bible says about what is sin?

First, let me say that I try to follow the example set by Jesus. He hated the sin but loved the sinner…. Actually, He love the sinner first, but hated the sin. That’s more like it. If you are unfamiliar with the Bible, I suggest you read Romans chapter 1. There are many sites where you can read the Bible or even listen to it being read to you. That chapter pretty much covers all of what is going on today, but has also been going on for a long time. In the last days, we can see the abundance of sin increasing. There are many types of sexual sin – homosexuality, “trans-sexuality,” pedophilia, and anything other than a husband and wife only sex act.

We sort of kicked God out of our public schools a long time ago… To a point… If they could, the group that wanted to stop open prayer in school would want to prevent even silent prayer in school. In doing that, a lot of kids have missed that opportunity to ask and learn about prayer and God. That would have at least started them knowing a bit about sin. I have a lot more to say about that.

Heavenly Father, please help each of us understand how we are sinful and we need a savior to take the punishment deserved for our sin. Help those who do not yet know Your Son come to know Him and as Him to remove their sin. We ask this in the name of Your Son, Jesus. Amen.
