A bit
of «back
of the envelope» math quickly shows that «Noah's Ark» would actually have to have been an armada
of ships bigger than the D Day invasion force, manned by thousands and thousands
of people — and this is without including the World's 300,000 current species
of plants, none
of which could walk merrily in twos onto the Ark, nor the 400,000 species
of beetles, nor the
gnats that
live for a few hours, nor for that matter, human beings!
only reason y i say this is because
of Santification, once we give our
life to the Lord, we streight way (so to speak) begin the process
of Santification, this is Christ making us like him, and this Is SUFFERING It does nt happen over night, but for the duration
of our time here, as you have said, its sort
of like sin being done unto us, and we are handleing it just like Christ did, (with Love)
of coarse with the help
of the Holy Spirit, This Does NOT feel Good At ALL since our soulful flesh is Corrupt, (but our spirit is saved) This is were your trails and tribulation, your own desire, and All play apart, Now Moment by Moment we choose by our own will, And Jesus helps in these times, as he was tempeted, but without sin, The devil can do nothing but try and decieve the Christian into thinking that he has to work for his salvation as you have said, this thing here is about your Inheritance In Christ, Its gonna be some show nought broke christian in Heaven, because their trying to set
of for themseleve trasure on earth, and their is going to be weeping and
gnat of teeth, but it wont be, because
of their going to Hell, It will be cause they miss out on what they could have had, and it is Devistation, cause they waste so much time, and they wont be able to attend the wedding, supper
of the lamb, they wont be, getting the position over city, galacy, ectt... just check it out some
of the points i have made, God Bless you!
After all, if we «swallow the camel» by not challenging the notion that unplanned natural forces gave rise to all
living things, starting from nothing but nonliving chemicals, and «strain out the
gnat»
of man's consciousness as the sole exception to an otherwise completely natural explanation, are we not allowing religious beliefs to interfere with scientific explanation?
