It was not until the 18th century that serious attempts were made to systematize racial divisions. Most of these divisions merged pseudo-science and folklore to create a mythos of race that has not yet been fully exterminated, even though mountains and mountains of scientific evidence point to the absolute genetical insignificance of racial distinctions. The idea of “different races” still lives on. And in many ways, it is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Why did race become such an important concept? There are two theories, both claiming to be scientific, that need to be explored in order to understand the modern distortions of race and the connection between Darwinism and racism.
In the late 18th century, a theory of human racial origins called polygenism started gaining steam. Science, polygenic proponents said, had proven that humans came from distinct roots. In other words, the Adam and Eve story was completely false. Humans, and animals for that matter, didn’t come from a single pair of distant ancestors, but from many distinct pairs (each pair corresponding to a particular color of human, or a particular “breed” of animal). This explanation apparently explained all the variation among animals and men. There was variation because all the animals and humans had different ancestral starting points.
Though polygenism gained a huge following among scientists and even among some compromising Christians, others started developing, or rather returning to, a radically different theory: monogenism. ((Ironically, this monogenism—separated from macro-evolution—was fully in line with Adam and Eve and Noah’s Ark. Orthodox Christians had been ridiculed in the heyday of polygenism for holding to “superstition” and fables against the rising tide of “science.” Then science came along and re-adopted a monogenic model—but continued to ridicule Christians as “behind the times.”)) Monogenism taught that all animal kinds (including humans) came from single pairs of ancestors. Migration and selective breeding could account for all the variation within species. This theory later came to be explained by “natural selection,” and there is hardly a person on earth now who does not adopt a monogenic model. Yet racism still survives. Why?
It is helpful to understand what polygenism was being used to support: colonialism. It was considered right to subjugate the “lesser” races. According to the imperialist polygenists, other races were inferior, having been spawned from an entirely different, and obviously lesser, pair of ancestors that had failed to achieve any level of civilization. Most polygenists, in spite of evidence to the contrary, even believed that the different races were not able to produce children together.
Darwin’s theories challenged all of this. But they would not have been so readily accepted in England if they had not offered an alternative justification for the subjugation of the “savage” races. In fact, Darwin’s theory went a step further. Polygenism had said that the other races were the children of a different human pair, but that they were capable of achieving equality by being civilized.
Darwinism, on the other hand, said that the other races were inferior because they were closer to lower animals. Polygenism required only civilizational development to bring “inferior” races to the same level of the “superior” ones. Darwinism said no amount of civilization or culture could alter “savages.” They were biologically fated to be inferior. The Darwinist explanation was even more comforting to imperialists the world over, and it explains why the theory of evolution was so readily adopted by the Western world.
According to Darwin, the “savage” races (which included Africans, aborigines of all continents, and the tribes of South America, among others) were closer to their animal ancestors. Though Darwin himself may have had a personal esteem for those he called “savages,” his writings, especially The Descent of Man, were the basis for a wholesale justification of treating colonized peoples like dangerous animals. Darwinism justified enslaving the strong members of the “savage” races and exterminating the rest. If some races are closer to the animal form, they might not even have souls, right? Darwin surmised:
He who believes in the advancement of man from some lowly-organised form will naturally ask how does this bear on the belief in the immortality of the soul. The barbarous races of man . . . possess no clear belief of this kind; but arguments derived from the primeval beliefs of savages are . . . of little or no avail. Few persons feel any anxiety from the impossibility of determining at what precise period in the development of the individual, from the first trace of the minute germinal vesicle to the child either before or after birth, man becomes an immortal being; and there is no greater cause for anxiety because the period in the gradually ascending organic scale cannot be possibly determined. ((Charles Darwin, The Descent of Man, and selection in relation to sex, 2 vols. (London: John Murray, 1871), 2:395.))
Well, actually, both of those questions have turned out to be very important. Darwin didn’t think they were important perhaps, because he would have been appalled by the modern justifications of abortion-on-demand. To him, exactly when an unborn baby becomes an “immortal being” was irrelevant, since the unborn certainly deserved all due and civilized protection during their whole course of development. Perhaps he would have extended that same protection to the “savage” races during their whole “development.” But his contemporaries, armed with Darwin’s own theories, were not so accommodating. Darwin certainly foresaw the possibility, perhaps the certainty, of this interpretation:
At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilised races of man will almost certainly exterminate, and replace, the savage races throughout the world. At the same time the anthropomorphous apes . . . will no doubt be exterminated. The break between man and his nearest allies will then be wider, for it will intervene between man in a more civilised state, as we may hope, even than the Caucasian, and some ape as low as a baboon, instead of as now between the negro or Australian and the gorilla. ((Ibid., 1:201))
Darwinism and racism go hand in hand. This is hardly debatable. It has been well-documented, even by evolutionists (e.g., Stephen Jay Gould) who mourn the prescriptive out-workings of what they believe should remain a wholly descriptive model. American racism, for better or worse, was legitimized and reinforced by Darwinism. And the arguments of American “Social Darwinists” concerning black Americans are entirely based on a causal fallacy resting on the American institution of slavery. More on that here.
Very informative article. Never put those two together till now.
Drink down that burn sauce BobE, does it taste good?
Many Christian sects have associated the “curse of Cain” with black skin for over 2,000. The Christian church has long history of racism from slaughtering & enslaving indigenous people in North & South America, Africa as well killing Jews, Muslims & ALL non believers wherever they found them. To call evolution ” pseudo-science” is outrageous & I would LOVE to hear how Christians believe different races came from when I assume that you believe Noah was “white” & lived 3,000 years ago.
That may be true how Christians in the past have attributed this “curse of Cain” you speak of. But I have yet to see how that plays into todays Christian defense. Especially since I’ve never heard of actual Christians proposing this. Seems to me the Darwinism principle still remains in effect. If anything, you’re the racist one.
stixuits21 So in the future, Christians may feel differently about gay people then they do now, since apparently your beliefs are subject to change at will. Christians who believed in the curse of Cain thought they were interpreting God’s word correctly, but apparently they were wrong. So Christians today could be wrong about gays. I look forward to the day when Christians can put their homophobia away with their racism.
Since my beliefs haven’t changed, since I follow the bible which hasn’t changed in almost 2000 years, I don’t see me of approving of the gay lifestyle anytime soon. And idk where you’re getting racsim accusations from.
alfromme stixuits21 @alfromme, did they rejected your blood donation ?
alfromme stixuits21 The curse of Cain being black skin does not come from the Bible; it says no such thing. On the other hand, homosexuality being a sin has solid scriptural support.
cyoder alfromme stixuits21 So does divorce, non virgin brides, adultery, working on sunday, sassy children & a host of other things. BTW, Mittens believed that blacks were a “curse of Cain”

BoobE – you’re in over your head once again. Get out of the foot bath before you drown.
Black people are more stuck on race that are white peoples. We can answer ridiculous posts about race or just pass them by. But those who are most affected in their lives by race, is forever lamenting about race. I never think about it unless someone else brings it up. I f we could allow the subject to die and forget that there people who are not of our race, we would all get along better. Treat all peoples the same not accusing someone constantly about being treated unfairly because of your color. I am more American Indian that anything else and I do not care if others think they are better than the Indian. I cannot figure what the race rage is all about, except heart filled hate.. Those who keep it going on and on about it, are the ones who are causing the problems because this just keeps the hatet alive..
I cannot help but to wonder the color of boobie, because he is forever attacking others about being racist, people who never even think about the color of another’s’ skin. Is this obsession what make a troll out of him??? Does he ever tell us to love each other not hate each other? It is the hate that he is so good at.. He claims to have read the Bible and he does quote Scriptures but he give us the proof that he does not understand one word that he reads there. He should do more than read and quote it, he needs to study and get the real meaning that GOD intended for HIS people.Scriptures that should be his mainstay can be found in Matthew 22. If the world read, accepted and,understood it, there would be no trouble, racism or otherwise.
Matthew 22 37-40-speaking of the commandments we should follow
37. JESUS said, Thou shalt love the LORD THEY GOD with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38. This is the first and great commandment.
39. And the second is like untoit. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
40. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
To follow these tow commandments we would not have no hate posts here

BobE I, as a Christian, don’t assume that Noah was white since the Bible doesn’t say that he was.
cyoder BobE no matter what color Noah was how do Christians believe that his children produced ALL the different races in a matter of only a few thousand years?
BobE cyoder Simple genetics. Where do you think all the various breeds of dogs and cats or the varieties of plants came from? Despite appearances, the differences between races are quite small.
Actually, intelligence differences are substantial with most negroids lacking abilities necessary to compete in today’s high tech world.

Good point. Most pictures we see of Jesus portray him as white. I don’t think there were many white folks hanging around Bethlehem in those days.

Once again BoobE – you’re distorting reality. Look at the groups propagating “the curse of Cain” they’re mostly cults, or racists hiding under the banner of “christian” in order to propagate their propaganda and advance their agenda, e.g. southern democrats like Robert Byrd. That was a political and social agenda, not theological.
And, it’s nothing more than a blatant lie that the Christian church has a long history of slaughtering and enslaving, etc. Give us a legit source BoobE. Now, I said “legitimate,” so you can’t reference your colon.
Calling evolution “pseudo-science” is hardly outrageous. Is that your defense for a theory that hasn’t been proved in hundreds of years?

Science uses specialized terms that have different meanings than everyday usage. These definitions correspond to the way scientists typically use these terms in the context of their work. Note, especially, that the meaning of “theory” in science is different than the meaning of “theory” in everyday conversation. Fact: In science, an observation that has been repeatedly confirmed and for all practical purposes is accepted as “true.” Truth in science, however, is never final and what is accepted as a fact today may be modified or even discarded tomorrow.Hypothesis: A tentative statement about the natural world leading to deductions that can be tested. If the deductions are verified, the hypothesis is provisionally corroborated. If the deductions are incorrect, the original hypothesis is proved false and must be abandoned or modified. Hypotheses can be used to build more complex inferences and explanations.Law: A descriptive generalization about how some aspect of the natural world behaves under stated circumstances.Theory: In science, a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that can incorporate facts, laws, inferences, and tested hypotheses.

Because of the many who refuse the truth of the Creation and because the growing number who follow Satan’s lies, GOD allowed another evil to come forth, Darwinism to be born. All who believe and follow are antichrist because it teaches the opposite to the Creation. Even though it has not had a very big hit with the peoples of the world, it has taken it’s place in “the heart of the fools,” dwelling here. We have many who believe and attempt to draw others into it’s evil following this ridiculous fairy tale.

28. But Paul cried with aloud vice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.
29. Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down befor Pauland Silas,

Evolution is a cosmological myth, supported by atheists who cringe at the possibility that there exists something beyond their own feeble minds.
Darwinism and racism – and another connection needs to be made, and that’s with the left’s commitment to the ideology. The left has long subscribed to this, and all one has to do is to look at our history and what developed through the teaching and practices of Margaret Sanger which continues today in Planned Parenthood.
The “more benign” manifestation of this was also seen in the beliefs and practices of the progressives. They indulged their beliefs in “saving” the savage by conquering the “inferior races” e.g. Cuba, the Philippines, etc.
Those beliefs continue today as liberal elites are on a quest to perfect society (because we’re too stupid to make our own decisions). Well, thinking about what I just said I have to take my words back when I consider those who voted for Dear Leader.
Science is not an ideology
BobE
BoobE – you’re on a roll today – that’s two correct statement. Although, this is another thing you pulled out of your butt. If you’re honest (that may be impossible) you’ll note that I didn’t say science is an ideology, but that doesn’t matter to a libtard.
Now, I did say that libtards are committed to darwinism and racism. Darwinism is nothing more than a theory – and it’s the foundation of an ideology that denies the truth of creationism by divine action. Lefties like to eliminate God when ever they can because His existence condemns their beliefs and practices.
Always a Marine BobE PLEASE, learn the meaning of the word theory in scientific terms before you continue to sound like a complete MORON! Let’s not forget that Christians were practicing racism for thousands of years before Darwin was even born!

elnegron77 I clicked too soon on my post above not getting to correct it. Trolls do not have a clue how powerful our GOD is. HE is the CREATOR and has kept HIS creation safe for thousands of years. HE will destroy it soon because of the millions of trolls who are trying to destroy it in a different way. They are working to bury it in a morass of evil. The final evil will come when they get the new One World religion recognized by the entire world. This religion is called Chrislam, a corrupted combo of Christianity and Islam. GOD will not allow such evil to exist. HIS WORD tells us what HE is going to do
2 Peter 3:10-13
10 But the day of the LORD will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness.
12. Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of GOD, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat
13. Nevertheless, we according to HIS promise, look for new heavens and a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness.

The entire socialist democrat party incorporates racism as a tactical decision. Those tactics involve targeting racial groups, dividing people on the basis of race, and then pandering to those separate groups. It’s a philosophy in conflict with American principles: e pluribus unum.
Since Andrew Jackson’s time, the democrat party has worked against American principles and values.
Now I know you’re not too stupid to understand these concepts, but you are stupid enough to believe the lie and the repackaged marxism of the progressive democrats. Actually, intelligence has nothing to do with it – it’s a moral and ethical problem – deficient character and substandard values.
BobE elnegron77 Always a Marine There are racist and fools like you, in the South, int the North, in the East and in the West. No section in the country are free of the fools or of the racist, none have special dibs on any anti-CHRIST insanity, even gross posters like you come from all over but I cannot say that there is any who can hold a candle light to your inbred evil, you are saturated with it.Matt. 25:31 Then shall HE say also unto them on the left hand,”Depart from me ye cursed, into everlasting fire,prepared for the devil and his angels
I had no idea there is this evil, this great in the universe, than boobie writes:
Job 15:16How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like water.
Job 25:6 how much less man, that is a worm: and the son of man which is a worm

Bobe,
for a moment I thought I had misread you I thought maybe this guy is an
adult. But after your last few post I’m going back to my original
diagnoses. You must be 12 or 13, very lonely and believe everything you
read on the internet that you would like the world to be like. If you
really believe what you posted about your precious leader your not just a
child but you must be using drugs.
Your post about West Side
Story, as I told you before you know nothing about racism. I experienced
it, your remark about about intelligence and religion, I’m not
religious at all as I said before religion does nothing for you. I do
believe that Jesus died on the cross for me (and YOU) as for
intelligence my MOS in the service was a EOD specialist and I “m
electronics major also (which science is a big part).
As for you belittling
Jesus I don’t need to defend Him. Just remember went you meet Him you
have no excuse plenty of people here have told you about Him. But must
ask you one thing, if you truly believe that it’s all a fantasy why are
you so scared that you must try to make yourself superior to everyone
that believes in Him. and don’t give me the bit about you don’t want us
running the country.
I leave you with this, JESUS LOVES YOU BobE……………..

BoobE – You’re revealing your ignorance once again. You recently dug up a cheat sheet on scientific terms with their definitions. Now, I know you don’t really understand the terms and the processes of science, but you’ve got the liturgy of liberal science (so-called) down pat.
What you call “science” is actually denied by the basic “scientific tenents” preached from the pulpits of evolutionary marxists. Science could never get to the point of “law” if you start with the premises of “nothingness,” “chance” and “chaos.”
Science is only possible because of what we know through Divine Revelation. Christians elevate science (but you wouldn’t know anything about that), and even sing songs about the wonders of creation – and the Creator.
Oh Lord my God

BoobE – once again, you’re living out a movie script – stupid is, as stupid does.
Where Christianity and science part ways isn’t on the basis of science.
It’s usually on the basis of morality and ethics. Liberals aren’t guided by higher principles as they have no objective, authoritative standard. Their entire life is on a slippery slope.
BobE elnegron77 Always a Marine Quite untrue. For many centuries, most scientific discoveries were made by Bible-believing Christians.
Can someone explain to me how anyone could possibly believe that the GOP which is made up white people living in the south could be the “non racist” party?
BobE
Well, for starters, go thru the election results of every state above the Mason-Dixon line, and you’re going to find even in blue states that the Democrats won that somewhere between 40-49% of the voters voted for the GOP candidate. That’s a whole lotta folks who don’t live in the South.
jeffmiller47 BobE He hates the South because there are more of the Conservative Christians here, and because we went conservative in the elections. The only thing he hates worse is GOD AND HIS SON JESUS CHRIST. Why is that do you suppose? He is lying when he pretends that he does not believe in THEM. Who did you ever see that fight, what they think is fairies or just shadows, which he constantly calls our SAVIOR. He is lying through his teeth. He proves it when he claims he is fight shadows. You simply do not fight things that you do not believe is there to fight. HE BELIEVES and hate them because they are the complete opposite of boobie..

You know, it doesn’t make much of an impact to quote the bible when I believe it was written by people who wanted to discourage people from thinking for themselves so the writers would have more power over them.
jeffmiller47 Evermyrtle I don’t understand exactly, what you are saying. Are you saying that you do not believe the Bible is the WORD OF GOD, but is something written by a bunch of mind controlling people? Even if it should be possible that this could be true, which it is not, just look at the difference in the people who believe in it and those who do not. Most people who believe in this WORD OF GOD strive to keep the scripture in Matt 22:36-40 as our guide in living a life that is described in HOS WORD. We do not hate others, instead we help each other at every opportunity, we do not believe in violence, we do not believe that it is our right to force our thoughts nor our beliefs on others, we do not call others any ridiculous name we can think of or ridicule, we do not commit murder, steal, or tell outrageous lies to get our point across. We express our beliefs and give other the right to choose to believe or not to believe.We know that GOD gives us the right to live according to “HIS WORD” or to live according to the world, which is the way of Satan. We believe that HE will give us an everlasting home in heaven.
Most of those who do not believe in HIS WORD, or the unbelievers, go through life taking what they want not making any difference how they do it. We do our best to show others our love for them, what we believe and why we believe it, which will give the unbelievers the opportunity to gain this everlasting home in heaven., instead the life in Hell. You can look read the posts of most of those who believe it is all a crock and follow the things they write and see such a difference in the way they live and treat others. Of course all who claim to be Christians are not really Christian nor are all non-believers live with hate filling their hearts. Christians entire belief and life is wrapped up in this Matthew 22:36-40
36. MASTER, which is athe great commandment in the law?
37. JESUS said unto him, Thou shalt love the LORD TH GOD with all thy heart and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind
38. This is the first and great commandment.
38. This is the first and great commandment.
39. And the second is like unto it.Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. (Of course meaning all peoples)
40. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Jeff, You are right in one thing, quoting Scriptures will make little difference in what unbelievers believe. BUT if one person is bought to the SAVIOR out of my thousands of posts, my time and my work has not been wasted. because a person is saved from the “lake of fire,” and I do write with the hope that someone, some time will change from an unbeliever to a believer. This is my hope
HOPE: For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope:for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for: But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. Romans 8:24-25
Deliver me, O my GOD, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man. For thou art my hope, O LORD GOD: thou art m trust from my youth. Psalm 71:4-5
I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait , and in HIS WORD do I hope. Psalm 130:5

Quoting the Bible isn’t diminished or dependent on the receiver of the communication.
Similarly, disseminating the philosophy of unbelief has no impact on those who know the truth.
To say that the Bible was written to keep people from thinking for themselves demonstrates substantial ignorance of the focus and claims of the Bible and it’s emphasis on truth, discovering truth, learning truth and incorporating truth into your life.
I’ve always been amused by this particular argument – it’s probably been repeated a million times, so often it is cliche and trite – it’s a stock line – when repeated it testifies to people who don’t think for themselves.
Evermyrtle
Yep, that’s pretty much what I’m saying. God has never written or spoken a word. People have dreams and inspirations and call them “being spoken to by God,” but I’ve had a lot of wierd dreams, too. But I wake up and realize they didn’t really happen.
Give me money, give me food, or give me a sacrificial virgin, and I can tell you what God Commands you to do, too!
I’m not saying that the lot of the guidelines for how to live life don’t make a lot of sense, but a lot of them are downright silly, too.
And how do you know, “Jesus said unto him…”?? Because some man told you so in his book.
Evermyrtle
As I wrote in an earlier post, if I substitute “love” for “God”, Jesus’ first commandment makes a lot of sense. His second one does, too. Both are rational ways for societies to live; neither requires blind obedience; and neither requires checking your God-given ability to Reason at the door.
Always a Marine jeffmiller47 Evermyrtle
Jeff, when I said that I would not quote scripture to you it was not because I do not believe the Bible, but because a person will never understand the Bible if they don’t have a personal relationship with Christ our Lord.
Can you replace the word God with the word Love, big maybe but only because God is the essence of Love. God so Loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting Life.
As someone else had posted the Bible is God’s Book (of) Instructions Before Leaving Earth. Again I pray that you would find that personal relationship with God and that He would make His word (The Bible) real to you.
jeffmiller47 Evermyrtle
There is no such thing as “blind obedience,” neither does it require neglecting your ability to reason. In fact, God calls us to “reason together.”
This is where what some people call “reason” fails – it’s based on the fallible, corrupted thoughts of men. That foundation is often further corrupted by pride, arrogance and ignorance.

I’m angry at people who don’t think the out of control national debt is a problem and think we can spend our way out debt, the same people who think we can pile more regulations and benefit mandates on job creators and employers then can’t figure out why they aren’t hiring anyone.

Or, think of Commie Obamie’s plan when he said we are going to “spend our way out of debt.”

I actually stood atop the pitching mound at a Billy Graham Revival at Mile High Stadium in Denver to make my commitment. I wanted it to work, but I just couldn’t make it stick.
I do believe the Christian ethic of treating others as you would want them to treat you is the only rational way for a society to endure, because all other societies eventually kill each other off. But I had to ask myself, “Do I honestly believe there was a virgin birth and a Resurrecton, or that there will be a Second Coming, and a life after death?” I had to answer, “No, I don’t really believe any of that.” If there is a God, His Laws must be the Laws of Nature, so there can be no contradiction between religion and science.
That which does not occur in nature cannot be true.
jeffmiller47 elnegron77
I would just say two things, by definition God is above nature. You can talk about a number of attributes at this point, but the Creator is greater than the creation.
Then (not contradictory) – the “fingerprint” of God is all over His creation, order, complexity, inexplicable intangibles in many things, but just pointing out one – the nature of man.
BobE
I not only understand Economics 101, I understand the courses that come after that, since it was my major (along with Finance), and I’ve been studying Economics and Markets for 40 years since. Would you like for me to explain where Paul Krugman is wrong?
Always a Marine
“by definition God is above nature.” Yes, that’s the theory. But if God created the heavens and the earth as Gensis claims, why would he create such a wonderful and complex interaction of forces we know as the laws of nature (physics, math, etc) that contradicts His Word?
I’m thinking that the bible is a test. It’s a test to determine whether you place your faith in the speculations, suspicions,superstitions and biases of the relatively uneducated men who wrote the bible over 2000 years ago, or if you place your faith in your God-given ability to reason.
God has never written a book or spoken a word. He works thru the hearts minds of fallable men. Every book ever written has, to some degree, the influence of God on the writer’s conscience and the influence of the author’s own fallabilities. God gave you the ability to sort out the difference.
If you place your faith in the bible over the ability to reason, you flunk the test.
jeffmiller47 Always a Marine
As to why He created the complex interaction of forces, I don’t know except that was His design and it pleased Him. I don’t see how any of the disciplines you mentioned contradict His word. As I see it, they are in harmony and show His nature and handiwork. If this question remains important to me in heaven, I’ll ask Him.
Contrary to your assertions – some of those who wrote books of the Bible were learned. And, even if a person was not highly educated it does not automatically cast him into the realm of operating on the basis of suspicions, superstitions, etc.
I’ve known farmers and ranchers who have wisdom head and shoulders above university professors. Similarly, a high percentage of those idolized by the left as “the intelligencia” have seldom been correct in their predictions and wouldn’t know how to use a door unless it was labeled “push.”
Now, your claim that God has never written a book or spoken a word is in no way truthful, it is completely erroneous and is a rejection of the words he has spoken and shows unfamiliarity with God’s description of what the Bible is, and how it came to be written.
Reason is only in conflict with the Word of God when it’s misused. God created us with the ability to reason in order to know Him. Reason can be perverted and used as an excuse or justification for unbelief, e.g. Thomas Paine’s “Age of Reason.”
jeffmiller47 Always a Marine
GOD is the CREATOR of the universe and all that is in it. HE did not create the world’s laws and rules. All of HIS laws and rules are contained in HIS WORD know as the BIBLE. HE gave man rule of the earth. Man has failed HIM so badly that HE has already destroyed in this world, completely,one time.(Man was so evil we had to make out own rules and regulations that were not needed but actually against HIS laws.) Could anyone think that HE made the evil so that HE could destroy in? HE gave us free choice and that is where the problem comes in. The human race is weak and want to “do it’s own thing. ” We are a little like children, we want what we want when we want to do it, we do not care what GOD thinks.
All things evil was created by man, evil man. How could anybody, in any instance believe that GOD created homosexuality and or sex between man and beast?This evil is why HE destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah He created man and gave him a mind and heart which was supposed to work together for HIS people. If he had made us to depend totally by what HE says we should, by force, we would be robots HE gave us the freedom to choose to live for HIM or for the evils of Satan. Like this we have the opportunity to live everlasting life in heaven, which we would not have, if we were robots.
Long before HE created the world HE had cast out the evil Satan out of heaven because of his evil attempts in trying to get control of heaven over GOD.
HE created man and man became evil because of a lack of love, will, and endurance to live for HIM. GOD’S people are weak and fail because we sin, also. The difference we repent and a live a life striving to live according to HIS WILL. We do not sin against HIM deliberately .Our lives are a continuous struggle to serve against all of the roadblocks that Satan throws in front of us.WE give all of our problems to HIM as we talk to HIM in prayer.
MAY GOD BLESS ALL PEOPLE WHO STRIVE TO SERVE HIM, THROUGH LOVE AND FAITH IN HIM.

Jeff, I have been thinking of you since you told me the other day that you had accepted Jesus at a Billy Graham Revival. I don’t know what happened that has caused you to feel how you do now and I will not quote Bible verses to you. But I will tell you that when I lost my son I was really angry at God and people would quote verses and tell me that I wasn’t trusting God, I even had one person tell me that I should not cry because I was a man. I finally found peace when I spent time alone with God and telling Him just how I felt. Believe me some it I would not repeat. I have learned not to look up to men but trust only in God. As for religion it does nothing for you, what you need is a personal relationship with God.
I hope that you would open your heart and listen to that voice that called you that day at Mile High Stadium. God I pray for Jeff that you would speak to his heart and Lord please make Your word come alive to Him that he would come to know You like never before.
God Bless You Jeff……..

elnegron77
I’ve mused from time to time that if you replace the word “God” in the bible with the word “love,” It begins to make more sense, at least to me. Love is a spiritual force that I can recognize, but we try to personify is as “God” and give it human qualities.
I kind of think of myself as a “Jeffersonian Christian.” In his letter to Benjamin Rush, Jefferson wrote, “I am a Christian in the only sense I believe he would have wanted me to be, dedicated to the precepts of His teachings and believing Him to have the most perfect of human qualities, while never claiming any other.”
Did Jesus ever say that the bible was the Word of God? Of course not. It wasn’t written until decades after his death. In fact, most of the Christian religion is based on the New Testament, over half of which was written by Paul, the one apostle who never knew Jesus. Much of Paul’s teaching contradicts Jesus’ teaching.

You know nothing of the source of the words of the bible other than what the men who wrote it have told you, or what clergy have told you. You have never seen a single word that God wrote. You accept it as God’s word on faith, without proof.
jeffmiller47 elnegron77 “Did Jesus ever say that the bible was the Word of God?”
Yes, when speaking of the OT.
“It wasn’t written until decades after his death. ”
Irrelevant, since it was written by those who knew His teachings intimately
“Much of Paul’s teaching contradicts Jesus’ teaching.”
Untrue. Those who make this claim tend to deny that Jesus said many of the things the Gospels quote Him as saying. Besides, the NT writers who traveled with Jesus commended Paul and his writings.
jeffmiller47 Always a Marine
I know everything that has been revealed about the source of the words of the Bible. I accept the words of the men have written it – period. Their testimony has been corroborated in a number of ways that take it beyond doubt. “Divine Inspiration” describes the method, the quality and nature of God’s Word.
That you would simply discard the testimony of the men who wrote the word of God, and those who can attest to their work, and the corroboration through history and experience is without merit. These men were there, and you weren’t. I’ll take the word of those who walked with Jesus, witnessed what can’t be honestly discredited.
Similarly, you say that I accept the Word on faith, without proof. Right in only one aspect. Certainly, I trust the Word, however, there are (to use biblical terms) “many infallible proofs.”

Writing a book on the life and times of any person years, or even decades after someone lived hardly invalidates the truth of that person’s life and work.
The Christian religion is based on ALL the Word of God, and none of Paul’s teaching contradicts the teaching of Jesus. Jesus wrote it through Paul. God doesn’t deny or contradict Himself.

Sorry, can’t report back. According to Scripture there’s a great gulf fixed between the two.
jeffmiller47 elnegron77 The Bible became the Bible when all of GOD’S different writings were put together and called a book or the Bible BUT these writ tings go all the way back to the beginning of time. Only the non-believers, for some reason, cannot understand this. I have heard this misinformation so many times and likely will hear it time and again. Is it because they do not listen or what is the problem that this simple fact cannot be understood.
GOD from the very beginning knew exactly what is going on today and HE knows exactly when HE will put an end to it all and create a new heaven and a new earth. Revelation 21:1-2
1. And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
This is revelation of the Apostle John when he was an old man living on the Ilse of Patmos.You can alps go to 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 to what will occur before the New Heavens and the New Earth appears.
There are many Christians on these sites trying to explain HIS WORD to those who do not understand it and hope to be able to get others to know exactly how wonderful or SAVIOR who gave HIS life so that we could be saved. We will live with HIM in heaven forevermore, all who accept the fact that HE IS THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD AND IS OUR SAVIOR.

Fix Reason firmly in her seat, and call to her tribunal every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve the homage of reason than of blindfolded fear. … Do not be frightened from this inquiry by any fear of its consequences. If it end in a belief that there is no God, you will find incitements to virtue in the comfort and pleasantness you feel in its exercise and in the love of others which it will procure for you. — (Jefferson’s Works, Vol. ii., p. 217)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Jefferson_and_religion#cite_note-34

If we trust HIM HE will always help us work our way through such a tragedy.
jeffmiller47 elnegron77 Replacin GOD’s name with “LOVE” is very natural because that is what GOD is, just plain LOVE.If HE did not have such a great LOVE for HIS people HE would have destroyed the universe that HE created. Actually HE will destroy it when HE can no longer bare the evil that the peoples of the world are creating.HE has listed in “HIS WORD” many proofs that is what HE will do. Read Thessalonians 4:13-18 events that will occur just before HE destroys the earth.

cyoder jeffmiller47 elnegron77 Very true but even though the Bible, which is from many different writers from the very beginning, thousands of years ago are included in it, was put together in a book after the death of JESUS What I am truing to say is, these different writers included, Moses. Joshua, David, Isaac, Jeremiah, Daniel, Zachariah and others were collected and a book was made calling it the “BIBLE.” These writings were the ‘WORD OF GOD” as He gave it to the different ones of HIS prophets and included them in that “BOOK”

So you would agree that if the Creator is greater than the creation, then the laws of nature (math, physics, chemistry, etc. — the stuff that science is made of) would have to be God’s creation, ergo, there can be no contradiction between science and religion.

To follow up on that, if there can be no contradiction between a God-created system of laws of nature, where religion comes into conflict with science, it must be man’s interpretation of religion that is wrong.

I’ll disagree with the statement that Jeff is studying with logic. Everyone ought to employ logic in reading the text of the Bible – following the rules of grammar and interpretation. Otherwise it would be illogical and chaotic.
The deniers of the infallible Word of God study God’s Holy Word looking for supposed inconsistencies in order to buttress their unbelief and disobedience to God. It is purposeful, active subversion of God’s Revelation.

Reading doesn’t equate to understanding.
Questioning the integrity of the authors after learning of their character and Jesus’ attestation to their veracity morphs into questioning the truthfulness of Jesus.

You’ve never met the authors. All you know of their character is what they told you.
You all start with the premise that the bible is the Word of God, because that’s what the writers of the bible told you to think it is. What if it isn’t. What if using your God-given ability to think IS obedience to God, by shunning imposters who merely claim to represent God? There have been many impostors since.

Say what? You’re telling me that Jesus testified to the veracity of Paul, who he never knew … the Paul who wrote half of the NT … and to the veracity of what the other apostles wrote 30-50 years after his death?
Do you ever think about what you say?

Marine you see what I mean. God Bless You Jeff…….
jeffmiller47Always a MarineEvermyrtle
Of course I think about what I say. Jesus is eternal God. He knew each of us when we were yet in our mother’s womb.
He told us that all Scripture is given by inspiration of God and that holy men of God and “the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.”
The first reference tells us that the Scriptures were literally “God breathed” and the second that the writers of Scripture were carried along by the Spirit.
Now, what I’ve written here for you is not me telling you that Jesus testified to the veracity of Paul (and all authors of Scripture), it’s Jesus testifying to the inerrant, infallible Word of God.

Isaiah 53 1-7 scriptures that all Christians are familiar with and love. It is the promise of the coming of JESUS CHRIST many years later, as well fortelling how the world would hate HIM
1. Who hath believed our report: and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?
2. For HE shall grow up before HIM as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: HE hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see HIM, there is no beauty that we should desire HIM.
3. HE is despised and rejected of me; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we his as it were our faces from HIM ; HE was despised, and we esteemed HIM not.
4. Surely HE hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows; yet we did esteem HIM stricken, smitten of GOD and afflicted.
5. But HE was wounded for our transgressions, HE was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon HIM; and with HIS stripes were are healed.
6. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on HIM the iniquity of us all.
7. HE was oppressed, and HE was afflicted, yet HE opened not HIS mouth: HE is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so HE openeth ot HIS moth.

He has revealed himself – it didn’t take long.
The belief systems we have devised, to explain away those things we cannot explain, are the exact reasons we argue about things that should not be argued. I am neither a creationist or an evolutionist, simply because I don’t know. I don’t buy into idiotic belief systems, that are most always wrong. Darwin was one man with a theory, whether he was right or wrong is immaterial, he tried to pave the way into an area no one knew anything about, and since there was only one belief system–religion–he created another that caught on. i have a theory too, but I haven’t written a book, or attempted to create a third belief system, because I don’t have any facts. It’s simply a theory in my mind. Why should I add to the turmoil with my theories? Without facts, everything simply is a belief, and therein, lies every problem known to man. Religion, is a belief system, and a hideously bad one at that!
Every word kicked around that ends in “ism” or “ist” are part of corrupted belief systems. When you firmly believe something is absolutely right, without any proof or evidence, and you grab on what you are told in the news, what you read in books that people with belief systems wrote, etc, then you are a SHEEP of the worst kind. Shape up and quite this “ist/ism” nonsense and starting thinking. Until absolute proof is available about racial origin, and the origin of man, unfortunately SHEEP of all colors and races and religions will be banging their heads together, because that is what they have always done. It’s ignorance at the highest level, and I can only sit back and watch the SHEEP/FOOLS fight and argue over stupid things, while their entire world, and civilization, comes crashing down around them, because they were too busy arguing about their beliefs. SAD SAD world we are in, because it’s populated by sad/sick people with belief systems that will bring on their ultimate demise. I see it in this blog, and everywhere else, that people cannot discuss anything on a rational basis, but only from their narrow perspective stemming directly from their beliefs.

I’m glad Voltaire didn’t write any part of the Bible.
Certainty is found in these words:
“For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall
stand at the latter day upon the earth: and though after my skin worms
destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God; whom I shall see for
myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be
consumed within me.”—Job 19:25-27.
Always a Marine jeffmiller47 ReasonRules
People fear the unknown, especially after death. Faith gives them hope and comfort. I get that.
But that’s not the same as truth and certainty. So, doubt takes away the comfort. People don’t want to lose that comfort, so they choose not to doubt, question, and continue to search for truth, because they fear they may not like where that road leads. Faith and hope, without proof, is more comfortable.

Quoting the Bible isn’t diminished or dependent on the receiver of the communication.
Similarly, disseminating the philosophy of unbelief has no impact on those who know the truth.
To
say that the Bible was written to keep people from thinking for
themselves demonstrates substantial ignorance of the focus and claims of
the Bible and it’s emphasis on truth, discovering truth, learning truth
and incorporating truth into your life.I’ve always been amused
by this particular argument – it’s probably been repeated a million

repeated it testifies to people who don’t think for themselves.
