Learning or Conformity
I was inspired to write this commentary for those that are lost and to give those that are saved some ideas for sharing the Good News of salvation.
Many lost folks want to argue the lack of evidence as the reason for their unbelief. The true issue is they have never put forth any effort to research whether there is any evidence or not!
I’m not an intellectual nor do I hold a degree from a seminary school or any other institute of higher learning, but because of a deep seated desire to learn, I have come to understand that the most important aspect of education is researching what you want to know about.
If you only learn what is taught in a school then you have only learned the very basics of what is needed. The Bible is no different! We must read and re-read and pray to get a firm grasp of the Word of God.
There is a word that describes people who will believe whatever is told to them without seeking the truth; the word is “gullible”.
So here is some evidence: in Genesis the story of the flood is told starting in chapters 6-9. There is overwhelming evidence around the globe that the Earth was once covered in water.
I have traveled around the world and in almost all sedimentary rock anywhere you want to go—mountains or desert—you can find marine fossils!
The story of the Ark was told in Genesis and there is convincing evidence that the Ark rests on a mountain in Turkey. Many doubted that King David even existed but now evidence has been found from a separate kingdom telling the story of fighting King David’s Army.
In the Book of Exodus, the story of God parting the Red Sea was thought to be some tall tale but now clear evidence has been found of many Egyptian chariots and weapons of war scattered in a line across the floor of the Red Sea! The stories of King Solomon have been verified through many, many documents found by unbelieving archeologists’ digs.
The story of Jesus is not denied in Roman, Muslim, Greek, or other cultures. Regarding the story of Sodom and Gomorrah in Genesis 18-19, convincing evidence has been found not only of their existence but of their fate as told in the Scripture.
The Apostles’ existence is well-documented, as well as the beginnings of the Christian Church. Clear evidence has been found in the desert of the plight of the Israelites’ journey to the Promised Land.
The remnants of the walls of the great city of Jericho have been found in rubble, indicating they fell to the inside—just as the Bible told. The Kingdom of Babylon is well-documented, as is the fall of Babylon. There is evidence documenting the existence of many of the peoples spoken of in the Scriptures, yet people still deny.
There are some who legitimately just don’t know; sadly, there are many more that refuse to know. They don’t want to know because that would mean they are wrong and that knowledge brings them under conviction of sin! A man can deny to himself and others all he wants, but God knows what the man knows and what he doesn’t!
A wise man once said, “the man who doesn’t read has no advantage over the man who cannot read”.
The men who made the majority of discoveries that founded the basis for the Creation Evidence Museum were initially atheists and became Christians because of the evidence they found.
Through the evidence they realized that creation was the only possible way this Earth as we know it could have possibly come into existence. Still, many people will repeat over and over again that they have no evidence to believe.
The evidence is out there! They, in fact, are choosing not to believe! A logical person would think that if there was a possibility of not enduring the agonizing suffering of eternal damnation that putting forth some effort to educate themselves of the facts would be in order!
Education would require them to admit, at the very least to themselves, that their beliefs were flawed, and in turn require them to make some changes in their lives.
The Bible is the Truth! Salvation is available through the blood shed of our Lord Jesus Christ!
Romans 10:13, “for everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
Over and over again for the past 30+ years, evidence after evidence has been discovered proving that the creation is as it is told in the Bible and that these theories of evolution are wrong.
Footprints of modern man have been found around the world showing that modern man has been around far far longer than the evolutionists ever believed.
Bones of dinosaurs and footprints of man found in the same rock overlapping, again proving the Bible correct as is told in the story of Job. Dinosaurs and man coexisted. Carvings in stone of dinosaurs and man’s interaction with them exist from ancient peoples.
Read your Bibles, learn God’s Word, John 8:32, “and ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free”. Free from what?
Free from the bondage of sin, free from condemnation, free from eternity in the prison designed for the devil and his angels, free from a life without Hope, free from a life without Salvation! We will either learn of God or we will conform to this world!
I pray that all those that will be saved, are soon to come to their Salvation so that our Lord Jesus will return. Amen
