Anyone who knows me, knows my passion about the things God is revealing to the world! Biblical artifacts being found and cataloged. The truth will be known!!!
However, articles like the one below remind me again of II Timothy 3:7 "always learning but never able to acknowledge the truth. "
"Missing Link" Still Missing
Imaginations certainly took flight over Archaeoraptor Liaoningensis, a birdlike fossil with a meat-eater’s tail that was spirited out of northeastern China, ‘discovered’ at a Tucson, Arizona, gem and mineral show last year, and displayed at the National Geographic Society in Washington, D.C. Some 110,000 visitors saw the exhibit, which closed January 17; millions more read about the find in November’s National Geographic. Now, paleontologists are eating crow. Instead of ‘a true missing link’ connecting dinosaurs to birds, the specimen appears to be a composite, its unusual appendage likely tacked on by a Chinese farmer, not evolution.
"Archaeoraptor is hardly the first ‘missing link’ to snap under scrutiny. In 1912, fossil remains of an ancient hominid were found in England’s Piltdown quarries and quickly dubbed man’s apelike ancestor. It took decades to reveal the hoax." U.S. News & World Report, February 14, 2000
"Darwin admitted that millions of ‘missing links,’ transitional life forms, would have to be discovered in the fossil record to prove the accuracy of his theory that all species had gradually evolved by chance mutation into new species. Unfortunately for his theory, despite hundreds of millions spent on searching for fossils worldwide for more than a century, the scientists have failed to locate a single missing link out of the millions that must exist if their theory of evolution is to be vindicated." Grant R. Jeffery, The Signature of God
"There are gaps in the fossil graveyard, places where there should be intermediate forms, but where there is nothing whatsoever instead. No paleontologist . . . denies that this is so. It is simply a fact. Darwin’s theory and the fossil record are in conflict." David Berlinsky
"Scientists concede that their most cherished theories are based on embarrassingly few fossil fragments and that huge gaps exist in the fossil record." Time magazine, Nov. 7, 1977
"The evolutionists seem to know everything about the missing link except the fact that it is missing." G. K. Chesterton

July 12 - Its been awhile
We are back from an awesome vacation! I have been reading but not putting my thoughts on here...
I had an interesting conversation while on vacation about Leviticus 18. I'll get to that in a minute; Today I read some things about Reputation and Walking in Truth today. And again falling before the Lord asking Him to Bind Mercy and Truth around my heart and write them on the tablets of my heart. Most of all the scripture used today was II Timothy 3:7
1But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them. (are we living in these times or what??)
6They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over weak-willed women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, 7always learning but never able to acknowledge the truth. 8Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these men oppose the truth—men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected. 9But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone.
What intrigued me about this passage was verse 7. Always learning but never able to acknowledge the truth.
I met a person like this. Wanting to argue the word...knowing The Word but not acknowledging it at truth. Quoting the bible and taking it out of context. Testing your faith. These people....they know the truth. They are scared of the change they will be required to make in thier lives. Worried a what their peers will say. Thinking they have to "clean their act up" before they run to the Father. The only thing you can do for them is pray. They want to have a battle of wits, always learning more but never acknowledging the truth.
Like the conversation I had about Leviticus. This particular chapter is about sexual laws. The question was why do people use Leviticus 18:22 against homosexuals.
I confess I didn't know it off the top of my head, but he did.
Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable.
Lets look at what that means. A disgusting thing in a ritual sense, as in unclean food, idols, mixed marriages. An act to be abhorred to be detested.
Personally I don't see the issue and that is what I told him. Here is another example of God loving the sinner and hating the sin. I think is verse is a perfect example of Gods love. We love our children and we have rules, boundaries for them. God loves us and had rules for us. He sees things we do not see.
No matter your condition, God wants us to come to him, there is no need to "clean up your act", come to him as you are.
