Hi all!  Sonja   you owe me cheese cake

Thisi is short as we are getting ready to go to our church's Fall Festival.  WooHool more candy for TAS  
Like he needs it.

Sonja, one thing I would ask your friend is if we evolved from apes, why did it stop?  If evolution is true, and we are still evolving, why aren' there apes that are still turning into us?  

Another thing I point out,  is that when you read Darwin's book, keep in mind that England at that time felt Africa was the "dark" planet, and felt that the natives were not "developed" as the white people.  In other words, his writings, as well as some of Joseph Conrad's, help to propitiate the belief that whites were superior to blacks.  Darwin's writings are very white supremicist in nature, I believe, and most believers in evolution squirm when they realize this.  To believe in evolution, you must believe that one race is better than another.

Another website, and it may be the same one as Marilyn pointed out is "Answers in Genesis."  I don't remember the specific address, but you can do a search for it on Google, probably.

Take care all.

Another beeeeee--uuuuuuuuuu-tiful day in WNC, and we are going OUTSIDE!!!!!

Hi Sonja......   You could remind your friend that evolution is called  " Darwin's theory of Evolution"  This is only a THEORY  of evolution.  Before Darwin died, he said he was sorry for ever starting this whole thing and he wasn't sure about his theory any more.

Also, if we have evolved from apes, why are we not STILL EVOLVING?     Does this person know anyone today who has evolved from the apes that are in the jungle or the zoo?   No, because it is not true.

If the Bible can be proven to be true, then the Genesis account of creation is TRUE!    The Bible has been proven true.     There are over 300 prophecies of Jesus alone, written in the Old Testament, that have been fulfilled in the New Testament.   So if the Bible is ABSOLUTE TRUTH,   than how can a man's theory be true?

Sonja... there are other good books at the christian book store that you could get.   There are even people (I can't remember the name now) who once believed in evolution and are Christians now and believe in the Bible's account of creation.    If I can remember I will let you know.  

Tell your friend to read the Bible and then you pray that the Holy Spirit will speak to his heart and show him that this is the only way.


Hope this helps.

There is also evidence that the Earth is only about 6000 years old, as old as the Bible says it is.

It has been proved by some researchers likeDr. Kent Hovind and Dr. Carl Baugh. I p[osted their web sites in the Christian links bu here they are again.

Hi Karmat....     I read your post after I had already posted about evolution.    Yours and mine are similar.     Thank you for the extra info about this subject.  


Today is a beautiful day in Ontario, Canada too.   The temperature is about 20 C  or 70 F.
Very nice for Nov. 1st.

MY RESPONSE TO JACK'S (PAT'S) DEVOTIONAL......"I HEAR, AND RECOGNIZE [HIS] VOICE"

Pat......

You really don't get the message.  It isn't "If it doesn't clear-up by then", it's GO to the doctor for an evaluation.  Dizziness isn't something that just happens by accident.  It's CAUSED by something within.  Chances are you may be anemic.  Don't think it can't happen to a gal who eats regularly.  I do, but last year I had to see the doctor for dizziness (And weakness) and enemia was my problem.

Sonja..........

I haven't read any of the responses since your question asking for Scripture.  The best are as follows:

Genesia 1:1; Genesis 1:26-27-28.

You might also remind your friend (after you've quoted Genesis) that apes are animal, and man is human.  A major difference.  Also Sonja, look at man, and look at apes.  If man came from apes, why do we still have apes?  This question is a good one, but the BEST answer is always, what does the Bible say.  God cannot lie.

More..........

Don'y just quote the bible to your friend, Read it to him.  After you have read Genesis, then go to John 1:1 through 3; and John 1:14.

My My aren't we a busy bunch I see 10 of us are online right now, but no Pat I hope she is resting.

Sonja - There is good reading here for us all regarding the Lord's Creation. I have Ken Ham's video collection on Genesis and it is really thought provoking. Anyway, here is the link :-

Chris/Larry - Many thanks, I'm most encouraged when I needed it.

Ruthie.........

QuoteIf the Bible can be proven to be true, then the Genesis account of creation is TRUE!    The Bible has been proven true.    There are over 300 prophecies of Jesus alone, written in the Old Testament, that have been fulfilled in the New Testament.  So if the Bible is ABSOLUTE TRUTH,  than how can a man's theory be true?

How true this is Ruthie, and Sonja might wish to actually READ some of those prophecies and then tell her friend: May I now ask YOU a question?, then ask her friend how can all of these prophecies have come true many, many hundreds of years afterwards?  God's Word will prevail.  If Sonja wants any of these prphecies, many of us in this forum are willing to quote them for her.

Hi Everyone

Hope all of you are having a wonderful day...Judy You sound like me in changing the kids rooms around-my husband gets mad at me when i do that lol.
We will be doing it soon though as I have my 2 youngest children in the upstairs bedroom-and want to switch them into the bigger room-(which is ours) that way they have more time to play..
Our two older girls have their own rooms downstairs..
Today-I am taking my 2 younger children to a birthday party and then taking the older girls out -going shopping..
Later today I have to work on week 2 on my PSP lessons.
Thats about it..Ohhh JudyLindsey wrote your daughter an email did she get it? It was sent yesterday.
PAT I agree with LEE maybe you should go and get checked out-
Iian Thank You for sharing...
No, I didn't get the last peice of Cheesecake ! LOL
But, that is ok-less for me to count on my weight loss program.
Karmat-didn't you join Weight Watchers? How is it going?

Good afternoon, All!

Busy day!  Can't seem to get here in the morning's lately!  

Today is the bazaar at Ivalou's church.  I got there at 8:30 a.m.  Really a lot of stuff there.  Garage sale stuff as well as new crafty stuff!  I am praying that the Christian Womens Fellowship...CWF for Iain...has a great day and sells all of it.  It is bright and sunny.  

Then I went to Jerry's.  Helped him with his bills and then to the grocery for some items for lunch today and to make snacks for the small group meeting Tuesday.  We mailed his bills and then he got his flu shot at his doctor's office.  We came here and put the groceries away and then to Noblesville to the Living Truth store.  Sonja, I purchased Mercy Me's CD with 'I Can Only Imagine' on it.  I really like it.  I can say I like that song better than any of the rest.  Then we came back here and had lunch.  Jerry is napping while I am here on the pc.  

Going to be a short day....

I do believe that the new member, Char, is my daughter-in-law but I don't see where she posted.  Come on, Char.  I know you aren't bashful!!!

Iain.........

From your writings, I'd say you are not called to pastor a church.  When you found you were distracted and had a hard time remembering, and that you "hated" it, then no my loving friend, you are not the man for the pulpit.  BUT, God has blessed you abundantly, and has given you the gift of being able to preach His Word through your writings.  Even better than that, I have a suggestion for you.  Ask Ruthie to send you all of the EE information she has.  Read and digest it, then START your own EE program.  When you do, you will find yourself spreading God's Word to the lost.  Let us assume your illness prevents you from going to people's homes to give the EE presentation.  No problem.  The folks you train in your home will not only be God's voice, but yours as well, and your "Good works" for the Lord will spread like wildfire.  Oh yes my brother, you ARE qualified.

Thanks Pat & Iain. I am also going to go back later and study what you have both posted.  You write such clear thoughts Iain...surely that must be one of the areas where God wants you to serve.

About Apes & evolution.  I am far from being a scientist, but find the data interesting.  Read an article  about  a scientific study on Salamanders, that shows they are still evolving, as are other species,such as frogs, fish, etc.  Because of the positive proof of repeatable evolution, it strikes a blow at CHANCE.  In other words, it is not a surprise that a creator (God) would reuse the same design more than once to create organisms suited for their environment.
My limited knowledge hasn't noticed much change in Apes!!  I am sure Lee can take this and do a much better work of explaining than this person....

Waiting for another Realtor and hopefully someone other than a 'looky loo'. People like my place....just not enought to commit.  Makes for a nervous day....

Have always practised a light touch when dealing with sceptics....read a little quote that suits me perfectly!
" I shall endeavor to enliven morality with wit,
and to temper wit with morality."   by Joseph Addison

Cold here again.  Temp. is 2C and no sign of the sun.
My little bird is sad and won't sing without sunshine.

Must go now and wait for .... ??

Good afternoon everybody....well this is such a busy place...I just love it......although I have not had much time to post cause there are so many posts to get through before I do....

and I am not complaining......it is very precious to come in here with you other saints and read about the things that God is doing in your lives and how He is with you all in many ways that we cannot comprehend....what and awesome God we serve

well am off now to finish dishes and get somethin going for supper.....but have a wonderful weekend and God bless you all.
In His Grace...Paulette

Pat, no all's well, we just returned from the food show at Tatton Park, and I  bought  Margit some dark chocolate gingers! yum.

Here is ape-man page for you all.

Thank you Chris and Margit for the website

Liz in Holland it is now 10.05PM  and it is 9*C  we have had the cold weather but now it is raining

I wish you all a very goodnight

Bye  RIA

England .9.35 p.m.


RIA Same here , More rain and cold winds blowing...plus many fireworks exploding nearby....5th November is coming early again "gunpowder, treason and plot".  I doubt very much whether these folks know what 5th November is all about. , To them it's just an excuse to make lots of noise and mayhem  causing  fear to many old folks and animals.


PAULETTE Hello again.  Lovely to see you when you have a spare moment to pop in and chat to us all.

LIZ I hope that condo...is soon snapped up. It's waiting for a special person., the one whom God has decided should come to live there.  Be patient He is working it out. His timing is always perfect.

PAT I really hope that you are taking it easy today.  I look forward to seeing your usual bright and chirpy self back with us on Monday.....

IAIN "Rest and be thankful".....There is a hill in Scotland called this isn't there?  I love you dear brother.  Praise God for you!

Hi there Lee, Etta Sue, Rachelle, Karmat, Chris and Margit (He let you out then??)

Goodnight Brethren ,
Have a blessed Sabbath tomorrow.
Jenny.

Night Jenny sleep tight.

Thanks to Pat and Lee for acknowledging my post following the scripture given by Papa John.  Pat I do hope you are feeling better.  We all know prayer is great, but we also need Doctoring sometimes.


This is in reply to Lee's post #57 yesterday (Friday).  
you need to read it i can not quote for some reason.  

This post for the most part is intended to be humors folks, hope you can find it that way.  As a true Southern Gentleman, I can say the following.  

You All is the most mispronounced word north of the Mason-Dixon line.  It is NOT "you all", it's "ya'll" pronounced YAWL .
Remember "ya'll" is singular, "All ya'll" is plural, and "All ya'll's" is plural possessive.

We have many Country Western songs that never get out of our area, so chances you have never heard of many of them.  Here are a couple of examples.

"I Wouldn't Take Her To A Dog Fight, Cause I'm Afraid She'd Win."
"My Wife Ran Off With My Best Friend, And I Sure Do Miss Him."

There are many things you would NEVER hear a Southerner say.  Here are a few examples.

"You can't feed that to a dog."
"Give me the small bag of pork rinds."
"Wrasslin's  fake."

Even if we Southern folks talk a little funny to others, we know that God loves all His creation.  We as Southerners usually try to show our love for our fellowman no matter how he speaks.  

YAWL have a good evening, and be sure to take your Saturday bath cause you'll be wearing your clean overalls and clean white shirt to Church tomorrow.

Boots

Boots........

An we'uns luv ya no madder how ya  spake either.

Hello Everyone!

Lee, I am so glad you'ens do luv all we all.  

Hi Pat  
Your message was much shorter than usual.  

Hope your feeling better.  

I certainly enjoyed a memory lane walk when I saw the message today.  I never got to meet Jack in person, but I felt a kin ship to him thru his great messages.  
Thanks and take care.

Pat, I'm scolding you!  Last night you said if you still had the dizziness today you'd go to the walk-in clinic.  Today you said you're still dizzy and if it lasts until Monday you'll call the doctor then. Stop Procrastinating!  

Lee......for sure I will post some of the prophecies of Jesus that were prophesied in the Old Testament and fulfilled in the New Testament.

We all agree about the apes and monkeys staying the way they are and eventually dying as apes and monkeys and never turning into people.   Wow, who would want to believe that instead of what God said in the Bible!

I had to get a book for a family of Muslims who are seeking.  I ended up getting 4 books.  One was  1.  "The case for Christ" by Lee Strobel,  
2.  "More than a Carpenter" by Josh McDowell,
3. "But don't all religions lead to God?" by Michael Green and 4. "Peace with God" by Billy Graham.   Then I thought I had better get a Bible, so I bought an NIV as cheap as I could.

We have a wonderful big Christian book store called Mitchell's and every time I go I have to restrain myself to not spend too much.

After I left Mitchell's I was driving home and a young fellow was standing on the side of the road with a sign that said "NEED FOOD".   I drove ahead and then turned around and stopped to give him some money.   He said he was from Minnesota and was just trying to get some money for food to get back home.   I told him that I go to Peoples Church and invited him to come.   He said he would try and come tomorrow.    I will be watching for him.

God Bless

Ruthie........

Ye shall be known by your fruits.  Oh yes dear sister, Yyou ARE known.


Jeanne Lee.........Great advice.  Keep after her.


Pat.........

Hello to you too.  I sent you some photos and one you might ant to name 'Twinked"

Ruthie That was very kind of you. Sometimes I have even seen someone  asking for dog food. When we went and bought the dog food and came back the man was gone. My granddaughter was the one who bought the food and she is 7.

Lee I have looked you up on a map, are you in Hope, or Sand Point. Your address says Hope.
Anyway I see you are not that far from Spokane.

Well Happydog is nudging my elbow again and chewing on the bottom of my chair. He cut his teeth on this old office chair 5 1/2 years ago. Don't know why he has started to chew on it again. He can't hurt it though, Heavy duty plastic coating on the bottom.

Gonna go eat now.
