After paying for the rights to show "Facing the Giants" to our community through our church, I can report that this movie was highly popular and well received by said community. It is an inspiring movie, as is "Flywheel". Sherwood Baptist Church will receive great blessings from God for their willingness to make, promote, and show these movies. What a wonderful ministry. Adding Kirk Cameron to their next endeavor is a big plus, but the actors (many were church members) in their first two movies did great jobs in the parts they portrayed. I highly recommend these as good clean family movies.

What this is is the solid beginning of the one-world church foretold by Scripture in the end times. There is a great deception going on in the teachings of these churches. Much false doctrine. Surely, our Lord's return is looking more and more imminent as the days pass by. We must keep looking up while believing the Word of God!

According to scripture the true church is the body of believers. Col. 2:10-13 tells us that Jesus is bringing many sons to glory, as He is the captain of our salvation through his sufferings. He is the Sanctifier and we are the sanctified; we are all one through Him. Christ declares all believers (and receivers of Himself) brothers and saints in the body of the true church.
But those believers must follow the Word of God and not deviate from God's teachings. If a "church's" instructions stray from God's doctrine even a little, then it is false teaching and not to be tolerated.

We must be like Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 4:33-35 whereas after he had lived like a beast of the field, "at the end of the days" he lifted up his eyes to heaven (after his understanding was returned to him) and he "blessed the most High, and praised and honored Him that liveth forever, whose dominion, and His kingdom is from generation to generation:...that He doeth according to His will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay His hand or say unto Him, What doest thou?" Praise be to God, He is in control of everything on earth, and we must trust only in Him! Folks, it's all a part of His Plan.

This is leading us in the direction of the one world church spoken of during the 7 year tribulation period as described in Revelation. The emerging church movement, which is a part of this grand scheme, is helping to lead the unsuspecting down the wide path to destruction. And many of us know who the real "leader" of this plan is.....satan! Christians, pray that the Holy Spirit gives you discernment in this matter.

Rm. 2:14,15 "For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: (15) Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;" God has placed His law in the hearts of all mankind. We either choose to obey and live, or disobey and perish!

Rm 1 (con't) (21) Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imagniations, and their foolish heart was darkened. (22) Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Ignorance is not evidence for the existence of God. But God has written the knowledge of Himself in the hearts of all men. Rm. 1:19-22 "Because that which may be known of God is manifest (made known) in them ( God's human creations); for God hath shewed it unto them. (20) For the invisible things of Him from (since) the creation of the world (earth) are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead (Deity); so that they are without excuse:

We must also consider that in Isa 11:6-9 God gives us a perfect description of what His kingdom on earth will be like: "The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb....(9)They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain (the entire earth)...." Then Isa 65:25 God tells us the same thing. I believe this is what God originally intended when He created Adam and Eve, and it is His plan to restore all things to that perfection.

Point well taken on the number of billions of years--however--I was being sarcastic when I pulled the "165 billion" years out of the air.
zenodaddy....I believe scripture is clear that even physical death did not come into the world until the fall of man. Reason it out....Adam and Eve were naked because they had no need for coverings--until sin, then God Himself gave them their coverings made of the hides of animals to cover their shame. Check out Gen. 3:21. Then while you're in the Word, review Gen. 1:30. "I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so." God says these things Himself about the animals. Do we make Him out a liar by not believing what He tells us? Yes, we do; and we must repent and believe every word He says!!!

Another point to ponder....death did not enter the world until sin was introduced through the fall of Adam and Eve. So how does one explain fossilized DEAD animals "165 billion" years old?

The point is saints....God was setting a precedent for the Israelites concerning the sabbath. Gen. 1:5 "And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day". The use of 'evening' and 'morning' may have been used to limit 'day' to the solar day. Food for thought, I'd say!

The point is... the idea we must get across to a sinful and hurting world is that either EVERY word of God's is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, or we leave room for doubting His authority in the minds of searching souls and a lost world. Jesus Himself said in Ex. 20:1,8-11 And God spake all these words, saying, (8)"Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. (9)Six days shalt thou labour, and do all they work: (10)But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor .....(11)For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it".

zenodaddy--What I find most pathetic is your attack of alleged stupidity on Christians who have the duty and right to educate people diametrically opposed to secular humanistic evolution. Billions of dollars have been spent down through the years building and stocking secular museums in states across our great country in order to shovel out evolutionary garbage. You whine about $27 million dollars being spent in this endeavor. If you are really that opposed, then convince our lawmakers to make it mandatory to present creation material in existing museums. Yeah.....right!!!

Belovedifeelfine72--A striking evidence of the genuiness of these tracks is called "mud push-up". These footprints show "mud push-up" where the toes pushed up the mud in front and on the sides. This would not occur if these were "erosion markings", as some people wrongly claim. Lamination markings, indicating that the foot pressed through different colored clays beneath it, are also to be seen on many of the human and animal tracks. As soon as the tracks are exposed, they quickly begin to erode away and lose their definition.

Muggleborn--You can also find wonderful and accurate information about radioisotope dating of the earth on the website of the Institute for Creation Research. The website contains info. from highly knowledgeable and credible scientists. While there, do a search on RATE, their research on Radioisotopes and the Age of The Earth. Their web address is: www.icr.org/

zenodaddy--I hate to be the one to burst your bubble but here goes:
Human footprints have been found in various sites in the United States, as well as in Laetoli, Africa. These would include: (1) Glen Rose tracks: Kids' and adult footprints, up to 15 and 21 1/2 inches in length, have been regularly found in early Cretaceous rock on the former riverbed of the Pulaxy River in Texas (this is totally verifiable). Footprints go across very large dinosaur tracks as well as above them, and all tracks portray creatures running, including mankind. These supposedly date to "120 million" years ago. Man is supposed to have existed on this earth for only the past 2 million years. There are other verifiable examples, as well, if you would like me to continue!
On our own we are little more than bits of stone and glass. Together we are the Body of Christ. Holy Bible: Mosaic is an invitation to experience Christ in His Word and in the responses of his people. Each week, as you reflect on guided Scripture readings aligned with the church seasons, you will receive a wealth of insight from historical and contemporary writings.
