Dare To Ask Talk And News About Our Differences

In response to the question of races I would like to start out by saying that there is but one race: human. A cursory reading of the book of Genesis, chapter 11, will solve the question about how God created the variety of humans within our race. It says in verse 7 that He separated the people by language. From here we must rely on good science. Any time there is a limited amount of genetic information in a given pool of genes, there will be dominant features. Thus, when the languages were separated, the gene pools reacted naturally and thus through the course of time we have such dominant traits as black skin, white skin, brown hair, blond hair, big feet vs. small feet … and the list goes on.

The word dinosaur does not appear in the Word of God because it was only created within the last century. Neither will you find the scientific names of any known dinosaur because those were created as the different dinosaurs were discovered. However, I would draw your attention to the book of Job chapters 40 and 41. Starting in verse 15 of chapter 40 and continuing almost completely through chapter 41 you will find detailed descriptions of two dinosaurs that were still alive at the time that Job lived. Note: In the King James version these animals have been referred to as the elephant or hippo as they did not know of dinosaurs at the time of that translation. I would wager that you will find the descriptions rather convincing of dinosaurs. Now, as for the races … even a cursory study of genetics will prove out the point the one man and one woman can alone carry the genetic codes sufficient to create every genetic feature found through out the world. It would be much like the wild dog carrying the genes for every domestic breed. It then becomes a matter of either isolational breeding or purposeful selective breeding.

Since geting out of high school and attending both undergrad and grad school I have found (personally) that those scientists that I have come in contact with give much support to the idea of a worldwide deluge large enough to create the Grand Canyon in a matter of days and sculpt the mountains at the same time. I don’t mean to sound trite, but AB…give me some proof.

In chapter 40 verse 15 through the end of chapter 41 there are several animals described that are just like dinosaurs. Since the term ‘dinosaurs’ was created in the last several hundred years the Bible does not use it nor does it use any commonly know names for the differing breads. Instead the Hebrew words are translated as ‘Behemoth’ and Leviathan.’ The latter also being the name of a famous philosophical treatise. So we find that God does mention His creations in the Bible; we today call them DINOSAURS.

How did Noah get two of every type of animal; male and female? In Chapter 7 verses 8,9 it says that the animals came to him. We trust that God by his supernatural power picked those animals and made them to come the the ark and then Noah and his family could have herded them on the ark. Ok, if God was able to supernaturally bring them, then he could have brought younger ones that would have taken up less room and food. He also could have caused them to go into a period of hybernation as many animals are prone to do anyway.

At 16 I also doubted not just a religious system but God as well. I doubted my knowledge of Him. What made the change for me? Why did I accept Him and come to trust in Him more and more? It was not some great philosophical argument that settled my mind. It was this: ‘Examine yourself to see whether you are in the faith; test yourself. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you – unless, of course, you fail the test?’ – 1 Corinthians 13:5
You will know He is real when you meet Him. No man can tell me that my wife does not exist, because I have met her and have a friendship with her. In the same way, when you meet God and develop a close friendship with Him, your doubts will cease. But this initial meeting happens often in solitude with God’s Word, and always in faith.

What does it take for someone to get to heaven? The answer has always been faith. Since Adam and Eve every human has had to have faith to enter heaven. Faith in what or who? Faith in the message of God revealed at that time. Adam and Eve had faith in the offspring that would crush the serpents head (Gen 3:15). Abraham had faith in the promised son and this was counted unto him as righteousness (Gen 15:4-6). The message of Judaism was of the Messiah, and faith in his coming was neccesary for salvation. So it has always been faith in the message of God and that message or word was truly seen in its fullfilment when the ‘Word’ became flesh and died upon the cross. See also Romans 3:21 – 4:17
