Self explanatory title. I abhor that nicey nicey, politically correct, pseudo-Christianity which almost always supports leftwing attitudes - which in most cases are profoundly anti-Gospel. This Blog supports persecuted Christians. This Blog exposes cults. This Blog opposes junk science. UPDATED DAILY. This is not a forum. This Blog supports truly Christian websites and aids their efforts. It is hardhitting and unashamedly evangelical so if it offends - please do not come to this site!

Hmm. Rather An Odd Thought Process.
Just before his death in May 337, it is claimed that Constantine was baptised into Christianity. Up until this time he had been a catechumen for most of his adult life. He believed that if he waited to get baptized on his death bed he was in less danger of polluting his soul with sin and not getting to heaven.

DINOSAUR BONES DO IT! So do fossil insects and bats on stalactites and leaves and teddy bears. Great new 40 mins show with John and Joe and Craig on just how rapidly calcification occurs in all sorts of fossils and how ignorant the sceptics are and how foolish those pastors are who listen to them.

Revelation 13.
Revelation 13: The Beast, persecution and providence.
“And he spoke terrible words of blasphemy against God, slandering his name and his dwelling — that is, those who dwell in Heaven. And the beast was allowed to wage war against God’s holy people and to conquer them. And he was given authority to rule over every tribe and people and language and nation” (Revelation 13:6-9).
“If ever there was an insult to the dwelling place of God, this action of Caligula was one. And it may well be that this notorious incident was in John’s mind when he speaks of the insults which the beast launched against the dwelling place of God.”
“We come now to our modern world. What kind of culture do we face … Dogma is decried; conviction is discarded; belief is discredited. And a man is to be open-minded, and broad-minded, and liberal, and he is not to come to a conclusion about anything, much less believe in a salvation in one Lord alone.”
“[T]raditional tolerance … asserts that everyone has an equal right to believe or say what he thinks is right, the new tolerance — the way our children are being taught to believe — says that what every individual believes or says is equally right, equally valid. So not only does everyone have an equal right to his beliefs, but all beliefs are equal. All values are equal. All lifestyles are equal. All truth claims are equal …“The Bible makes it clear that all values, beliefs, lifestyles, and truth claims are not equal. It teaches that the God of the Bible is the true God (Jeremiah 10:10), that all his words are true (Psalm 119:160), and that if something is not right in God’s sight, it is wrong (Deuteronomy 6:18). This is not just the view of Hebrew culture or Christian culture or Western culture; it is the truth, according to the God who rules over all cultures, revealed in God’s Word.”
“He [the Beast] cannot harm the glorified saints in Heaven, but he can harm the believers on Earth, at least those not specially sealed against him. The age-old mystery of the suffering of the saints is again brought into focus. It was given unto him to make war with the saints and to overcome them, just as it was given unto Herod to imprison and behead John the Baptist, and just as it was given to Satan to persecute Job, and just as it was given to Pilate to pass sentence of death upon Jesus. It is all a deep mystery now, but it will be an eternal weight of glory for the sufferers when God gives out the Martyr’s crowns.“This is the devil’s last fling against the people of God. The great dragon will drink his fill of blood, and the beast, summoned from the sea and from the pit, will be unmasked at last for what he is, a monster with a quenchless thirst for blood.“He must dominate the globe. North, south, east, and West, all peoples must yield obedience to him. It will not last long, it is true, but for a brief season, his power and authority will be acknowledged worldwide. Satan will achieve his goal of unifying the nations, dazzling some, browbeating others, cementing the whole tricky structure together with the mortar of the indulgence of every evil passion and with the epoxy of horrible, merciless, unrelenting persecution.”
“And all the people who belong to this world worshiped the beast. They are the ones whose names were not written in the Book of Life that belongs to the Lamb who was slaughtered before the world was made. Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand. Anyone who is destined for prison will be taken to prison. Anyone destined to die by the sword will die by the sword” (Revelation 13:8-10).
“That their names were written before the foundation of the world carries the assurance that even though they [God’s persecuted people] seem to be powerless before the attacks of the beast, they are really in the keeping providence of God and have been since the foundation of the world …“[T]he persecution waged by the beast will be carried out within the providence of God, and therefore violent resistance is out of place. If one is destined for captivity, he must be willing to go meekly as a Christian. However, persecution is not the last word; there is divine retribution, and the final punishment of those who kill with the sword will fit the crime. The last word is not with the persecutor.”

Oldest Bat Skeletons Offer Little Help To Evolutionists.
OLDEST BAT SKELETON. Palaeontologists at the American Museum of Natural History and Naturalis Biodiversity Centre in the Netherlands have studied two bat skeletons found in the Green River Formation in Wyoming, USA, and claim to have found a new species of fossil bat. Nearly 30 bat fossils have been found in the Green River formation, representing two species. The new fossil bats had shorter broader wings than other Green River bats, and they had claws on the wing's first and second digit, and therefore have been classified as a new species named Icaronycteris gunnelli. Otherwise, they “looked almost similar to present-day bats”. The fossils have been dated as 52 million years old. The researchers wrote: “The relative stratigraphic position of these fossils indicates that they are the oldest bat skeletons recovered to date anywhere in the world.” Arvid Aase, park manager and curator at the Fossil Butte National Monument, in Wyoming, explained: “One of these bat specimens was found lower in the section than all other bats, making this species older than any of the other bat species recovered from this deposit.” Nancy Simmons, one of the research team commented: “This is a step forward in understanding what happened in terms of evolution and diversity back in the early days of bats.”

ED. COM. Let’s call a spade a spade, and face the fact that when you find two fully formed bats with all the features of present-day bats, it doesn’t matter how old you think these fossil bats are, they will not help scientists understand the evolution of bats! The difference in wing structure, plus the fact that this bat species is now extinct, does tell us something about diversity of bats – there used to be more bat varieties, i.e. there has been a decrease in diversity. Those who believe bats evolved from non-flying mammals are ignoring the actual evidence that fossil and living bats confirm the record of Genesis, which tells us flying creatures were created fully functional, according to their kinds, on the fifth creation day. Yet land dwelling mammals were not created until the sixth day. Since then flying and non-flying mammals have reproduced after their kinds, but some, like Icaronycteris gunnelli have died out, while none have evolved. These fossils also confirm the overall history of the world as being created perfectly complex, but because of human sin and God’s judgement, it is degenerating and losing living things. Another fossil bat also dated as 52 million years old was reported in 2008 – see our report Oldest Bat Fossil here. So why is this one now claimed to be the oldest bat? Note the claim “stratigraphic position of these fossils” i.e. the rock layer it was found in. This dating method depends on the assumption that lower layers were laid down before upper layers in a process of depositing one layer on top of one another. However, experiments conducted by Creation Research show that rock layers are actually laid down sideways, which means lower layers can be laid down at the same time as upper layers.

Wisdom.

The Mighty Mildred.
We need scarcely remind you that many incidents which are romantic and faith-inspiring when viewed from a distance, are wrought out in circumstances when loyalty is tested to the uttermost, and guidance sought through the cross-lights which but accentuate the confusion of the dimly-discerned way - when the servant of God has no light, and must stay his heart upon Jehovah. (Griffiths, 224)
