   <description><![CDATA[I spoke recently to a man that stated he believed in evolution instead of the scriptures..� <br />He said he believed in a god that created the earth, but he replied.� &quot;I don't know about this <br />Jesus&quot;.� <br /><br />Well, I presented the gospel to Him, but it seemed to just go past him.� But in reality, I think <br />he just did not want to hear.� People that believe in evolution think we evolved from tiny creatures, <br />then into animals and somehow we evolved into men and women.� <br /><br />I have noticed that people that believe this way, state that there is no &quot;right or wrong&quot;, there is no<br /> Jesus, no heaven, no hell, and no devil.  � I have heard more than one say this statement.� Why<br /> do they say this?� They have what you would call &quot;an open mind&quot;.� &quot;There is no black and white <br />only shades of gray.&quot; There is no such thing as sin.� They have no reason to &quot;repent&quot;, they have <br />no need of &quot;Jesus&quot;. They say this because they do not believe in the Bible, or God's Son.�� They <br />believe they came from animals, and so they act like animals.� They do not believe they are made i<br />n the image of God, like Adam and Eve before the fall. <br /><br />When one turns from the scriptures and the gospel of Jesus, they are left to their own imagination, <br />their open mind shall we say.�There is no fear of God before their eyes.� Something is going to have <br />to fill the void, so all weeds grow up, to prevent the truth of God's word from taking root in their minds.<br />� Who sows these weeds?� The devil, according the scripture.� <br /><br />And how do these people act?� Are they happy?� I don't think so.� The ones I know are not happy.� <br />I believe people that refuse the gospel of Jesus, delve into achohol, drugs, partying, free sex, the <br />love of money, lies, because they think, that this world is all they have.� So why not live it up, for <br />tomorrow they� die..�� They have no hope for life after death, as this is their heaven.� � <br />They are rejecting God's son, and His mercy and grace given to them freely in Jesus.�� <br />They are rejecting Jesus. <br /><br />But the scriptures state:<br />2Pet.3<br />[9] The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is <br />longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.<br /><br />I John 1:<br />[8] If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.<br />[9] If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from<br /> all unrighteousness.<br />[10] If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.<br /><br />But someday this will all end.� Time shall end and the invitation to come to Jesus, repent and <br />believe the gospel, will be heard no longer.� Sin will be destroyed, and all those that reject God's <br />son and the gospel.� Until then, we are to believe the gospel and repent everyday, as we are <br />all undeserving sinners, and continue to fall short of the glory of God. no matter how many<br /> &quot;good works&quot; we do, as we are sinner's because of our sinful nature. � � That is why we need <br />Jesus as our anchor beyond the veil, before the Throne of the Father, where He stands in our<br /> place, as our lamb,� our righteousness, our sanctification and redemption. <br /><br />2Cor.9<br />[15] Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.<br />� <br />This is all according to scripture.� God's word is true as He cannot lie.� I know some say the <br />scriptures are hard to understand, but they are not.� Before we read the scriptures, we need to <br />pray and ask God to send the Holy Spirit to help us understand the message that is there for us.� <br />The Holy Spirit will lead us into all truth, the gospel of Jesus.<br /><br />John.5<br />[39] Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify <br />of me.<br />John.15<br />[26] But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of <br />truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: <br /><br />The scriptures are all about Jesus, and God' mercy and grace, given to undeserving sinners. <br />� And God's patience with sinful man to listen and believe the gospel of Jesus. <br /><br />God's mercy is everlasting for those that call upon Him, in the name of Jesus, realizing <br />they are sinners and unworthy.� But they come to Him in the name of Jesus, who is our only hope.<br /><br />RaynaRenee<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />]]></description>
