Evolutionists Startled by 'Exceptionally Preserved' Embryos in Ancient Fossils

Evolutionists Startled by 'Exceptionally Preserved' Embryos in Ancient Fossils - christiannews.net

Excerpt from this article:

Though the Waptia fossils were first unearthed over 100 years ago, it wasn’t until scientists recently revisited the specimens when the eggs and embryos were noticed. The researchers attempted to tie their discovery into the evolutionary framework, proposing that their discovery is evidence of  'rapid evolution of a variety of modern-type life-history traits'—namely, care for offspring by egg-bearing females. However, others interpret the discovery as yet another instance of evolutionists struggling to explain the sudden appearance of complex physiology and advanced behavior among allegedly 'simple' organisms.

Which evolved first: 1. The heart, or 2. The blood cells, or 3. The blood vessels, or 4. The fool (Psalms 14:1)

Daily Bible Reading for Thursday, December 31, 2015

There are many different websites that offer reading plans to read the Bible in a year. Here is a really good one:  Read the KJV Bible in One Year. For today, why don't you read along with me chapters 1-4 in the book of Malachi.

Special verses:

"Because the LORD hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously : yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant.  And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.  For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away" - Malachi 2:14-16

"Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say , Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.  Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it." - Malachi 3:8-10

"For, behold, the day cometh , that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up , saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.  But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth , and grow up as calves of the stall." - Malachi 4:1,2  

Note: If you have a reading disability that makes it difficult or impossible to read along with me this year, please consider going to Biblegateway.com and listening to the Bible. This is a great site with many resources, one of which is an audio version of the Bible.

The Rise of the Temp Economy: More U.S. Employers Than Ever Want a 'Disposable Workforce'

The Rise of the Temp Economy: More U.S. Employers Than Ever Want a 'Disposable Workforce' - endoftheamericandream.com

Excerpt from this article:

"In this day and age it seems like almost everything is disposable, and many employers have found that they can make a lot more money if they have a workforce that can be turned on and off like a faucet. In America today, there are more than 17 million 'independent workers', and they represent a bigger share of the workforce than ever before. Federal laws give a lot of protection to 'full-time workers', but for temporary and contract employees it is a much different story."
--------------------------------------------

 Here is an except from Patrick Buchanan's great The Great Betrayal: How American Sovereignty and Social Are Being Sacrificed to the Gods of the Global Economy:

"No site better captures yesterday's America than Detroit, forge and furnace of America's democracy. Detroit is the burned out case of American cities. The Empire of the Sun has its revenge. Japanese imports helped kill the city that built the weapons that destroyed the empire. Now grandsons of the soldiers of the imperial army work at high paying manufacturing jobs once held by the fathers of ten-dollar-an-hour retail clerks in Macomb County.

"But why blame the Japanese? We did it to ourselves. We Americans created a post war trading regime, in which, over 25 years, Japan bought 400,000 American cars while selling us 40 million Japanese cars, a ratio of 100:1. One president after another sat still while a third of America's greatest industry was shipped off to Japan...

"Americans no longer make their own cameras, shoes, radios, TVs, toys. A fifth of our steal, a third of our autos, half our machine tools, and two-thirds of our textiles are made abroad...

"The decline and fall of Middle America was neither preordained nor inevitable. It was engineered in Washington D.C. Wages have fallen and the standard of living of American families has stagnated because of a basic law: the law of supply and demand. The price of labor has been dropping because the supply of labor has exploded...

"Having declared free trade and open borders to be American policy, why are we surprised that corporate executives padlocked their plants in the Rust Belt and moved over seas?  Why keep your plants here when you can manufacture at a fraction of the cost abroad, ship your goods back, and pocket the windfall profits that come from firing $20 an hour Americans and hiring fifty-cent-an-hour Asians? A pair of Nikes that sells for $150 in the United States costs $5 in wages to make in Indonesia. Any wonder that Nike president Philip Knight is the fifth richest man in America, with $5.2 billion, while his Indonesian workers make 31 cents an hour?" (Emphasis mine)

 Special verses:

"And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him. 2 And the LORD said unto Satan, The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan; even the LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?" - Zechariah 3:1,2


"Then he answered and spake unto me, saying , This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying , Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts." - Zechariah 4:6

Can We All Agree that Cops Shouldn't Shoot 12-Year-Olds?

Can We All Agree that Cops Shouldn't Shoot 12-Year-Olds? - pjmedia.com

Excerpt from this article:

"Rice was playing with a toy gun near a recreational center in 2014 when someone spotted him and called the cops. The caller told the dispatcher that the subject might be a child with a toy gun. But that information was not passed along to the responding officers. The subsequent encounter was over in seconds, and young Rice was shot dead....The fact as of this moment is that an innocent 12-year-old boy was killed, and no one has been held accountable. That's not acceptable."
-----------------------------------------------

Maybe it's time to outlaw toy guns. I can think of several good reasons for an adult to own a gun (self protection, hunting animals you intend to eat, etc.). But guns don't make good toys anymore. A law enforcement officer shouldn't have to wait until they get shot 3 times before they figure out whether the gun is real or not!


Here are a couple of short quotes from two people on both sides of the gun control issue:

"One man with a gun can control 100 without one." - Vladimir Lenin

"Those who beat their swords into plowshares usually wind up working for those who didn't!" - Benjamin Franklin

666 and the Mark of the Beast

The Cashless Society Cometh: European Nations Such as Sweden and Denmark are 'Eradicating' Cash - theeconomiccollapseblog.com

Excerpt from this article:

Did you know that 95 percent of all retail sales in Sweden are cashless?  And did you know that the government of Denmark has a stated goal of 'eradicating cash' by the year 2030?  All over the world, we are seeing a relentless march toward a cashless society, and nowhere is this more true than in northern Europe.  In Sweden, hundreds of bank branches no longer accept or dispense cash, and thousands of ATM machines have been permanently removed."
-------------------------------------------------------

 The Bible Says:

"And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, to receive the mark in their right hand or in  their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom, let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man; and his number is six hundred, three score and six." Revelation 13:16-18

and

"And the third angel followed them, saying with a load voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wrath of God which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation. And he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up forever and ever. And they have no rest, day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name." Revelation 14:9-11

The Linus Monologue

The Linus Monologue - ace.mu.nu

-------------------------------

I got the following great poem from Jason Cooley's message: 5 Facts About Christmas

‘Twas the night before Christmas and strange as it seams
I wasn’t indulging in covetous dreams
But while reading my Bible I searched for a clue
Why Christians take part in this holiday too
I plainly could see that it carried his name
But the spirit behind it just wasn’t the same
The song spoke of wise men, of virgin and child,
Of shepherds of God and all men reconciled
But nothing was said of the blood of the cross
Of repentance and faith and counting the cost.
They sang of the babe, his miraculous birth
But not of the day when he shall judge the whole earth.
My Bible said nothing of Santa and toys
Of frosty the snowman and small drummer boys
A reference to Rudolph not once did I see
But it seems that Jeremiah did once mention the tree
I sat and I pondered this curious matter
When out on the roof there arose such a clatter
That I knew in a moment he soon would be here
So I prayed in the spirit and said without fear
He slipped down the chimney Quick as a flash
And stepped from the fireplace all covered with ash
There stood St. Nick with his bag and his beard
He looked at the Bible I held and he sneered
Another fanatical Christian I see
No stockings no holly no pictures of me
I asked him if Jesus was God in the flesh
He said that was something he couldn’t confess
He said I am Santa I have come from afar
I stood in the truth, “The Devil you are!”
That suit and that beard doesn’t fool me one bit
Your jolly deception is straight from the pit!
Beneath all you’re ho ho ho Lucifer lurks
With your all seeing eyes and your gospel of works
Like a thief in the night you impersonate Christ
Returning to judge the naughty and nice
So call Christmas pagan he said, that’s OK
'Cause that’s what my sons at the Watchtower say.
You’ll look like a pagan or like a deceiver
But none will suspect you of being a believer
I said, I don’t care what your servants will say,
My loyalty lies with the Ancient of Days.
No matter how many abuses are hurled
My Bible says “Be not conformed to this world.”
You have no power and no part of me,
So I stand on God’s Word and command you to flee.
He squealed like a pig that was stuck with a knife
He ran to the chimney and climbed for his life.
And I heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight
Merry X-Mas to all and to all a dark night!

Daily Bible Reading for Friday, December 25, 2015

There are many different websites that offer reading plans to read the Bible in a year. Here is a really good one:  Read the KJV Bible in One Year. For today, why don't you read along with me chapters 1-7 in the book of Micah.

Special verses:

"But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting . " - Micah 5:2

"Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy. 19 He will turn again , he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea." - Micah 7:18,19


Note: If you have a reading disability that makes it difficult or impossible to read along with me this year, please consider going to Biblegateway.com and listening to the Bible. This is a great site with many resources, one of which is an audio version of the Bible.
