Brief Briefs

"Brief Briefs" is my new recurring entry for our two cents on current and newsworthy events. I hope you enjoy.

13-Year Old Father

Clearly this kid lacked some sort of sex education. How is it that the first thing he decides to do with
it, once he can do something with it, is exactly what he shouldn't be doing with it. Didn't his parents see this girl he was hanging with, and that she was clearly much more physically mature than him?

He was 12 at conception!

Great Britain started down this path a long time ago. What path? They started down the path of a godless nation. They formed their own god to suit their needs; in government and society. Now they are paying the price. If this continues, he could be a grandfather at 25! America should take heed now. This is what happens when you remove God. And yes, her parents are just as much to blame as are his.


But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you. But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.
But thou shalt say unto them, This is a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the LORD their God, nor receiveth correction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth. Jeremiah 7:23-24, 28


Evolving Christians

Either you are a Christian or you believe in evolution. You can NOT have both. The Word of God states clearly that God created all things:

Worthy are You, our Lord and God, to receive the glory and the honor and dominion, for You created all things; by Your will they were [brought into being] and were created.
Revelation 4:11 AMP

For ever since the creation of the world His invisible nature and attributes, that is, His eternal power and divinity, have been made intelligible and clearly discernible in and through the things that have been made (His handiworks). So [men] are without excuse [altogether without any defense or justification], Because when they knew and recognized Him as God, they did not honor and glorify Him as God or give Him thanks. But instead they became futile and godless in their thinking [with vain imaginings, foolish reasoning, and stupid speculations] and their senseless minds were darkened.
Romans 1:20-21 AMP

When you suggest that God did or didn't do something when His Word clearly states the opposite, you have broken the second commandment and created a god to suit yourself. This is what Adam & Eve did in the garden when tempted.

These preachers are preaching lies. We pray for their flock, that they not be led astray.

I clearly think we as mere humans may not entirely understand the "Word", and perhaps it should not be taken so literally. I don't think evolution and the version of creation you believe have to be mutually exclusive. Perhaps evolution was God's divine way of creating the universe and in infinity, one day can be millions of years. (Your brother feels the same way about this). You just can't really ignore all the physical evidence of evolution, but hey, everyone can believe what they want. Just don't stop teaching science in MY kid's schools.

Nowhere in scripture does it say that anything ever evolved; changed from one form into another over millions of years. The only living creatures that ever became something from another completely different something were Adam and Eve. In both of those cases, the scripture teaches that God 'formed' Adam and 'made' Eve. That is not evolution. That is creation.

I have looked at the 'evidence' for evolution. The state of Pennsylvania requires that I teach it to my home-schooled children. There actually is absolutely no evidence. All the arguments for it are theory and supposition.

The Word of God should indeed be taken literally. If not, then there is no need for the sacrifice of God's own Son; for how would we know which is literal and which is figurative? And also, it is true that as 'mere humans' (you picked the perfect words), we are indeed unable to fully understand His Word. That is why He has placed His Spirit in every believer for He is "the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you."

John 14:26

The work of the Holy Spirit is to teach us all things, even the literal Word of the Living God.
