[embeddoc url="https://christadelphianvideo.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/TE-103-1.pdf" download="all"] [su_box title="From the author..." style="glass"]Theistic evolution (or God directed evolution, GDE) has been the subject of several other publications. However, in A Challenge to Theistic Evolution we examine the belief that God created current life on earth through evolution from the Biblical and scientific standpoint. We hope that combining the two perspectives in a single book will be welcomed by a wide readership, regardless of scientific knowledge. In Part 1 we examine some of the interpretations of modern Biblical scholarship using three non-Christadelphian authors. These interpretations lean heavily upon an allegorical understanding of key Bible passages, especially the first eleven chapters of Genesis. We offer thoroughly researched reasoning to support our understanding of the Bible message as a historically reliable account. In doing so we demonstrate that anything other than a literal understanding undermines the teaching of the rest of Scripture. It is important to recognise the implications of theistic evolution for the authority of the Bible as the Word of God. All who accept theistic evolution are in effect saying that there is a whole area of knowledge, especially regarding human existence, about which they do not allow the Bible to speak with authority. They will allow the Bible to speak with authority about the hope of salvation (NT), but not about the origins of those who are being saved, the origin of human death, the origin of human morality, and the foundations of that salvation through the life, death and resurrection of the ‘second’ Adam. Such a limitation on the authority of the Bible leaves the door wide open for further erosions of its teaching when it does not conform to the scientific thinking of the day. In Part 2 we turn our attention to current scientific thinking surrounding the age of earth and evolution. We provide a selection of arguments to counter the commonly accepted view that evolution is proven. We also highlight that some commonly accepted lines of evidence are completely fallacious. We have done this using fully referenced evidence from a wide range of non-Creationist writers with clear logical reasoning, making the book accessible to any reader. We are convinced from a consideration of the scientific evidence, evidence which argues strongly against biological evolution, that theistic evolution is a totally untenable alternative to accepting the Genesis account of special creation. We have added several appendices covering ancillary topics and providing additional material not required for the main thrust of our evidence. All of which we trust will provide valuable reference material assisted by the subject indexes.ntent[/su_box]

31 Oct: Daniel prayed and his prayer was heard.

It was while he was still praying that the angel Gabriel was sent to him with this message: “Daniel, I have now come to give you insight and understanding. As soon as you began to pray, an answer was given, which I have come to tell you, for you are highly esteemed.” (Dan 9:22-23) What was it that made Daniel a man highly esteemed, not just by people, but by God? Looking back through the beginning of this episode, we can get a few clues. Daniel studied God’s word. He didn’t just read the Bible for the sake of reading it, he read it to be understood. Having read and understood, Daniel put what he had learnt into action. Daniel prayed. in fact, he did more than pray. Daniel completely humbled himself in his prayer by fasting and wearing sackcloth and ashes. He praised God, lifted him up and exalted him. Daniel admitted his sin, confessed it and repented of it in the presence of the LORD. (Dan 9:5) He was not prepared to point the finger at others but included himself as he confessed. He turned to the LORD before he turned to anyone else. Maybe if we had the same attributes and did the same things as Daniel, we too may be able to live a life described by God as highly esteemed.

18 Oct: Signs of the Times – Consideration – Bro Jim Cowie

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

My dear friends in Christ.
Greetings in our ever-brightening Hope.
For a while now I have been wanting to write to my friends about the dramatic times in which we live. There has been a degree of reluctance due to not wanting to pepper folk with the numerous indicators that Christ is near seeing that most of us are well aware of what is going on. The signs are too numerous to list here, but I perceive the development of the ‘perfect storm’ prophetically speaking. As noted in previous emails, we know from Luke 17:26-34 that we will be removed for judgement from times of general prosperity attended by political chaos and moral degradation just before a catastrophic crash that destroys that prosperity – that was the pattern set in the times of Noah and Lot that Christ wanted the final generation to focus on. We have never seen a situation conforming so closely to these requirements as we now see it, and it is October.
History tends to repeat itself. After the Federal Reserve increased interest rates in mid 1929 and an artificially swollen stock market began wild fluctuations, the long overdue crash finally came on 29 October 1929 and the rest is history. America became isolated from the rest of the world with an ‘America First’ policy and the aggressor in Europe did as he pleased until world war changed everything for God’s people. It will happen all over again, but with significant differences, this time leading to the Kingdom of God.
I do not intend to say more than that now, but would be happy to fill things out on request. However, because the key to our readiness for the return of Christ is our daily attendance to the Word of God, and this is perhaps best done by following our community’s reading plan as Bro. Roberts noted in The Ecclesial Guide Clause 34 – ‘The True Secret of Success’ when he wrote: “This lies in the rich indwelling of the word of Christ in each individual member of an ecclesia—a state to be attained in our day only by the daily and systematic reading of the Scriptures. When every mind is influenced by the Word, the worst rules work smoothly. When it is otherwise, the best will miscarry. The system of daily reading, laid out in The Bible Companion, has for years been followed by thousands with increasing benefit.”; I have attached 5 documents that were created recently after questions from friends in North America, mainly on the daily readings. You may find them helpful. These will be added to the ‘Study Notes’ tab on my web site

Bible Truth & Prophecy is a remarkable on-line tool for establishing just how far removed from the teachings of the Bible mainstream Christian teaching has become.

End Time Prophecies are interpreted using the Bible, not man made ideas or notions.
Key Biblical subjects such as the Trinity, Devil/Satan worship, Holy Spirit Gifts & much more are all dealt with extensively from the Bible’s viewpoint and not man’s.We will demonstrate how Christian beliefs have become corrupted, and reveal the ‘Truth’ as taught by the 1st Century Apostles.

Thought for September 8th. “ALL FOR YOUR UPBUILDING”

08 Sep: World Headlines : A Prophecy update from the Lampstand Magazine

World Headlines

“Israel ranked 8th most powerful country in the world”

Israel desperately wants to be accepted by the world community as it seeks to integrate itself into international life. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel’s “presence on the world stage,” acknowledged by US News & World Report this week when it ranked Israel as the eighth-most-powerful nation in the world, will be on full display when he goes to Moscow to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin. This ranking also reported that the country of Israel is perceived to be the “most religious in the world”. Here are the details of the report:

“An international survey has ranked Israel as the eighth most powerful nation in the world for the second consecutive year, narrowly ahead of Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey.

The annual survey by the US News & World Report was published during the weekend, based on the answers of more than 21,000 people from four regions.

The survey ranked 80 countries on a range of issues including power, cultural influence, economy and entrepreneurship, with the categories adding up to an overall ‘best countries’ ranking.

But in the power ranking Israel was ranked inside the top ten, behind the United States, Russia, China, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, and Japan, in that order. Neighbors Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates were ranked 9th and 10th, with fellow Middle Eastern countries Iran and Turkey ranked 13th and 14th. …”

The Times of Israel (8th July 2018)

Such reports only serve to bolster Israel’s pride in its own achievements, but they are evidence that God’s promises relating to their return to the land are being fulfilled with absolute certainty.

Europe – “After pummeling allies, Trump ends wild Europe trip with Putin embrace”

The political chasm between Europe and the US is only widening after President Trump’s recent tour of Europe. Such behaviour will end up weaning the US away from Europe, allowing the EU to formulate its own political and defence policies with closer ties to Russia.

“HELSINKI (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump’s week-long adventure on the world stage in Europe came to a raucous conclusion in Helsinki on Monday, with American allies fuming and confused and Russian President Vladimir Putin literally smiling at his good fortune.

Trump’s trip to Belgium, Britain, and Finland was marked by his frequent taunts and threats aimed at America’s NATO allies, a sharp contrast to his unrestrained bid to curry favor with Russia despite the conclusion by U.S. intelligence agencies that Moscow meddled in the 2016 U.S. election to aid his candidacy.

Even for Trump’s high-drama, tweet-driven presidency, this was the most heavily criticized trip abroad of his 18 months in office. The only smooth sections were a tea at Windsor Castle with Queen Elizabeth – although he kept the nonagenarian monarch waiting and walked in front of her – and golfing at his own Turnberry course in Scotland.

In Brussels, Trump sowed confusion and chaos, blasting NATO allies for not contributing enough money for their own defense, then praising them for their contributions. He arrived 45 minutes late to the second day of meetings and hijacked the agenda.

In an insult aimed at German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Trump called Germany a “captive” of Moscow for its support of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline from Russia. Hours later, he said he has great relations with Merkel.

On to Britain,Trump tested the resolve of Prime Minister Theresa May in a critical week by telling a newspaper that one of her political opponents, recently resigned Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson, would be a great prime minister. The bombshell interview came out just after May had rolled out the red carpet to Trump for a gala dinner.

Trump criticized the Brexit deal that she negotiated regarding Britain’s departure from the European Union, then called her a great leader who should do as she sees fit. …

‘ERRATIC CONDUCT’

On the eve of his summit with Putin, Trump added insult to injury by calling the EU a “foe” for its trade policies in a CBS interview that aired on Sunday.

That language stood in stark contrast to the scene on Monday at Finland’s presidential palace, where Trump called the Russian leader, accused by the West of all manner of grievances, a “good competitor” and “I think the word competitor is a compliment”. …

Trump left with no concrete achievements from his long-desired summit with Russia’s leader. Putin, who has been staring down American presidents since he rose to power in 2000, dismissed Trump’s concerns about Russia’s annexation of Crimea and gave vague promises to hold a dialogue about Syria and nuclear weapons.

The former KGB officer showed up late for the summit, held one-on-one talks with Trump for more than two hours and smiled and appeared to chortle when a reporter asked him whether Russia has compromising material from when then-businessman Trump visited Moscow in 2013 for the Miss Universe pageant.

At the end of the event, Trump left with a tangible gift: Putin handed him a soccer ball to mark Russia’s hosting of the World Cup. One U.S. senator suggested Trump check it for listening devices and never let it enter the White House. …”

Reuters (17th July 2018)

Middle East – “Israel and Saudi Arabia: From foes to potential friends”

There are some significant trends in relations between the Gulf Arab States and Israel.

“Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman has had enough of the Palestinian leadership. “In the past 40 years, the Palestinian leadership has repeatedly missed opportunities and rejected all proposals,” he said during a meeting with several leaders of Jewish organizations in late March. “It’s time the Palestinians accept the proposals… or shut up and stop complaining”.

This isn’t the first time Saudi officials have harshly criticized the Palestinian leadership for consistently missing historic opportunities to solve the conflict, but up until now they have kept it behind closed doors.

The ties between Riyadh and Jerusalem are perceived by some of the Saudi public as a betrayal of the Palestinian interest and serve as a weapon in the hands of the regime’s opponents. The royal family in Riyadh is required, therefore, to prove that it isn’t “selling” out the Palestinian struggle to advance a normalisation with Israel.

The Palestinian issue has never been a top priority in Saudi Arabia, but it has served and still serves as a restraining and limiting factor in the Saudi regime’s attitude towards Israel.

Over the years, there have been historical crossroads in which shared interests were formed between Israel and Saudi Arabia, but they failed to develop into a dramatic change in the status of the relations due to the Saudi regime’s fear of profound criticism in the Arab world that would sabotage its public image and religious status as the protector of Islam’s holy sites.

Recently, however, as the Iranian enemy and the Islamic State (ISIS) grew stronger, Israel turned from an enemy into a potential ally in the Saudis’ eyes. Not only do the two countries share an identical perception as to the need to eradicate radical elements and stabilize the Middle East, but Israel is the only country in the world with the intentions and military ability to act against the joint enemies.

Over the years, Saudi Arabia has largely relied on its strategic alliance with the United States, but the American administration’s willingness to get involved in the Middle East’s bloody conflicts has dropped in recent years, and Saudi Arabia has basically been left without any support for its attempts to efficiently curb the Iranian influence. Under these circumstances, Israel has become a key player in changing the regional balance of power.

In addition to its intelligence and strategic abilities, Saudi Arabia sees Israel as an economic role model. As the Saudi economy undergoes a real revolution from an economy relying on oil to a productive and advanced economy, the Israeli knowledge and technology are becoming more and more attractive. …

The Saudi palace is already pressuring the Palestinian Authority to moderate its demands from Israel. Unlike in the past, Saudi Arabia has withdrawn its demand for a just solution to the Palestinian problem and is now talking about a logical solution. The Saudis, for example, no longer support the Palestinian demand for a right of return; rather, they are pursuing a solution that Israel wouldfind acceptable too.

Furthermore, Riyadh isn’t stipulating that the Israeli-Arab conflict must be solved before Saudi Arabia’s relations with Israel are normalized, but is settling for a breakthrough in the negotiations. As far as Saudi Arabia is concerned, if Israel makes gestures that convey to the Arab world that “there’s something to talk about,” like freezing settlement construction and lifting the siege on Gaza (even partially), it would be possible to reward Israel by increasing the Saudi gestures, in addition to the ones that have been made so far.

On the economic level, if the regime in Riyadh removes the economic barriers and allows the integration of Israeli components and workforce into the Saudi economy, it would have a huge contribution to the Israeli economy, especially if other Arab countries open their gates to Israeli products. …”
