Topics Of Interest For Those Who Believe In Genesis Creation Account

Evolution thrives in ignorance. As knowledge increases, evolution become more and more improbable. I found this link "Topics of Interest: Molecular History Research Center" which contains many articles which may prove that Genesis creation is true. From this link, I realized that many of these information were actually discovered quite some time ago. They are not new. Even the ancient cell theory proves that abiogenesis is not possible. Life can only come from life. Anyway, as science progress, knowledge increase and we are closer and closer to prove that Genesis creation account is the real scientific truth. Anything that is true can be proven to be true.

For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth. (2 Corinthians 13:8 ESV)

Purpose Of Works

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV)
So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified. (Galatians 2:16b NIV)

If good works is not required for salvation, why do good? Why don't we continue sinning (Romans 6:1) since Jesus had already paid the penalty for our sins in full (Hebrews 10:14)?

Firstly, we do good works, not because we need them for our salvation, but we do it out of gratitude to our God who has so freely given everything to us (1 John 4:19, Ephesians 4:32, Colossians 3:12-13, Matthew 10:8). Our motivation is gratitude, not servitude.

Secondly, our works is an assurance of salvation to ourselves, showing that we are bearing fruits (Matthew 7:16, John 15:4).

Finally, our works is a witness to others of God's grace and salvation. As salt and light, God works through us to preserve and show His righteousness and to change the society. Our works glorify God.

God works through us. The only real work that God requires from us is to believe in Him (John 6:29).

Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure. (Philippians 2:12-13 ESV)
And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns. (Philippians 1:6 NLT)

Only Jesus Can Save There Is None Else

As He was setting out on a journey, a man ran up to Him and knelt before Him, and asked Him, "Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone. You know the commandments, 'Do not murder, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your father and mother.'" And he said to Him, "Teacher, I have kept all these things from my youth up." Looking at him, Jesus felt a love for him and said to him, "One thing you lack: go and sell all you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me." But at these words he was saddened, and he went away grieving, for he was one who owned much property.
And Jesus, looking around, *said to His disciples, "How hard it will be for those who are wealthy to enter the kingdom of God!" The disciples were amazed at His words. But Jesus *answered again and *said to them, "Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." They were even more astonished and said to Him, "Then who can be saved?" Looking at them, Jesus *said, "With people it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God."
(Mark 10:17-27 NASB)

"And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved." (Acts 4:12 NASB)
  1. Jesus said only the righteous can have eternal life. (Mark 10:17-19)
  2. Many people think they are good enough. (Mark 10:20)
  3. But the Bible says there is none righteous enough to be saved. (1 Kings 8:46, Job 25:4, Psalm 14:1-3, Psalm 53:1-3, Psalm 143:2, Proverbs 20:9, Ecclesiastes 7:20, Roman 3:10, Romans 3:23Galatians 2:16, 1 John 1:8)
  4. Only God can save the sinner by justifying the sinner. (Romans 8:33, Genesis 15:6, Romans 4:3, Romans 4:22)
  5. He did so by providing His Son Jesus as the propitiation for our sins and the sins of the whole world. (Isaiah 53:5, Romans 5:6, 2 Corinthians 5:21, Galatians 1:4, Hebrews 2:17, 1 Peter 2:24, 1 Peter 3:18, 1 John 2:2)
  6. Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. (Romans 8:1)
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV)

Shout From The Roof

What I tell you now in the darkness, shout abroad when daybreak comes. What I whisper in your ear, shout from the housetops for all to hear! (Matthew 10:27 NLT)

I want to shout from the roof, "Jesus saves! He is the only Saviour and there is none beside Him!"

A lot of people think that they are not going to hell because they are they are good people, not perfect, but good enough. But they don't understand. People go to hell for unbelief, not just for robberies, rapes or murders.

"And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved." (Acts 4:12 NASB)
Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. (John 3:18 ESV)

God's Word Makes One Wise

Oh, how I love your law! I meditate on it all day long.
Your commands are always with me and make me wiser than my enemies.
I have more insight than all my teachers, for I meditate on your statutes.
I have more understanding than the elders, for I obey your precepts.

(Psalm 119:97-100 NIV)

God's word made me wiser than my enemies, teachers and elders.

Evolution And Mitochondrial DNA Mutation Rate

Evolution is the fake news that many atheists wanted to believe to be true. As early as 1998, secular science found that mitochondrial Eve, the mother of all humans today, could be about 6000 years old. The age of mitochondrial Eve is dependent on the mutation rate of the mitochondrial DNA.

Here is a quote from an article in "Science  02 Jan 1998, Vol. 279, Issue 5347, pages 28, Calibrating the Mitochondrial Clock by Ann Gibbons (News this Week | Science)".
QUOTE
Regardless of the cause, evolutionists are most concerned about the effect of a faster mutation rate. For example, researchers have calculated that "mitochondrial Eve" - the woman whose mtDNA was ancestral to that in all living people - lived 100,000 to 200,000 years ago in Africa. Using the new clock, she would be a mere 6000 years old.

The Real Karma

When you throw a stone in a body of calm water, a nice ripple of circular wave will appear on the surface of the water. If you throw with a greater force, the ripple of wave will be stronger.

This is how the real karma behave. Every action will generate a reaction from the time the action was done and how long and how widespread the effect of the reaction will be depend on the impact of the action.

Example:
When Adam sinned, his impact is on the whole human race because he is the ancestor of all human beings.

Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, in this way death spread to all people, because all sinned. (Romans 5:12 CSB)
