Why are we here?
Why are we here?
How did we get here?
So, why are we here?
How did we get here?
Who or what put us here?
So, why are we here?
How did we get here?
Who or what put us here?
What are we supposed to do now that we are here?
What if I don’t want to play?
DO I have a choice?
Why is there evil?
How do I tell the difference between good and evil?
What happens to me when I die?
So, why are we here?
We are here to glorify the creator, we are here to glorify the One who created us.
How, how do we glorify the creator, the LORD?
1CO 10:31, Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
ISA 43:7, Everyone who is called by My name, Whom I have created (here is why we are created) for My glory; I have formed him, yes, I have made him.”
First man must believe in the LORD Jesus Christ as his LORD and Savior.
Now that is man’s destiny.
That’s where Hitler took over and created the notion of a so-called pure race and in the process murdered over 6 million people.
All in the name of that sought after perfection or perfect race.
Man is the most excellent of all GOD’s works to be sure, capable of glorifying the Father, and because of free will, man is also capable of the most terrible of acts.
Man is thus not the result of spontaneous reorganization of molecules in the Green ooze. Nor is he derived by evolution from any animal or lower species (as theistic evolutionists teach), but man is a direct gift from GOD.
Evolution is a religion masquerading as a science.
- GOD would create nothing.
2. GOD would create a world that had no such thing as good or evil.
3. Create only a world of no evil only good.
4. Create this world where there is a choice of good and or evil.
ECC 3:11, He has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also set eternity in their heart, yet so that man will not find out the work which God has done from the beginning even to the end.
So, we are here to glorify GOD, and we glorify HIM by living in the plan HE has for our life.
“When it comes to the origin of life on this earth, there are only two possibilities: creation or spontaneous generation (evolution).
There is no third way. Spontaneous generation was disproved 100 years ago,
but that leads us only to one other conclusion:
that of supernatural creation.
We cannot accept that on philosophical grounds (personal reasons); therefore, we choose to believe the impossible:
that life arose spontaneously by pure chance.”
COL 1:16, For in him all things were created…all things have been created through him and for him.
Either GOD did it, CREATED IT ALL, or it ALL happened by CHANCE, over a tremendous amount of time.
Evolution is a philosophy masquerading as a science.
We are here from a creator Who decreed for us to be here or we arrived by pure chance.
GEN 1:1, In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
COL 1:16-17, For by means of Him [Jesus Christ] were all [paz] things created [ktizo: transform something, or create from no pre-existing materials] in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible [this is the unseen spirit world but also we can draw the conclusion that is means down to the smallest atom], whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers.
ECC 3:11, He has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also set eternity in their heart, yet so that man will not find out the work which God has done from the beginning even to the end.
Because to the creationist GOD also set in effect a moral law.
To the Evolutionist the moral law would be developed over time by man.
It is only getting worse, man is not evolving into perfection, they are getting worse, because only through Christ can they do so.
Darwin who wrote a book called On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life) and another book the decent of man, among many other offshoots, was on the run from GOD the creator, much of his life.
Hitler was fascinated with Darwin and the survival of the fittest, and the preservation of favored races in the struggle for life.
Stallin, Mao, Pol Pot, Idi Amin, the list is long and millions and millions, many millions suffered and continue to suffer under it.
At one point Darwin went to Seminary to study the ministry. He did get his degree, finally and barely but never followed up on it by going into the ministry.
They don’t understand the Divine decree, in which GOD decreed everything that would happen because HE knew every decision that man would make without violating mans free will.
His explanation of eugenics was to create a society in which those who were considered “superior” would reproduce, while those who were deemed “inferior” would be encouraged NOT to reproduce.
It’s the stupidity of taxing what they call the evil rich corporations, and make them pay for everything for everyone. Sounds good that they make corporations pay their share, but they are not real entities, they are legal entities, but they are not people. Progressives are stupid.
Darwin’s theory not only was an explanation for life on Earth, but it also was a big step in saying there is no GOD.
Marx wrote that humanity is a work in progress. It supported his conception of the utopian New Man. But rather than have it come about through the haphazard processes of natural selection, it could be created through the Government.
