Pearls are better than Easter eggs

God created the world in a specific order.

Genesis 1: 1-10 clearly maps out creation in this order:

1. Heavens and earth (covered in water)
2. Light
3. Day and Night
4. Firmanent dividing water from water
   - The firmament is called heaven
   - The separated water creates a bubble
5. Dry land

Our paper, Genesis Chapter 1, illustrates this. A simplified version has been created below, however you can click on the link above for the “pretty” version:

(water)

(water) ---firmanent--- (water)

(water/land) --- firmanent --- (water)

The creation of the earth is symbolic of the Holy Trinity.

How?

1. (water): This is God.
2. (water) ---firmanent--- (water): God separates himself thus creating Jesus. Confused? Think of a glass of water. Dump half the glass into another glass. Which one is water? BOTH. Same with God and Jesus.
3. (water/land) ---firmanent--- (water): Adam is formed of the earth (land). The water is NEXT TO the land and is LEFT WITH man. Why? For baptism – both water and fire. This is symbolic of the Holy Spirit

Simplified:

GOD (water)

JESUS (water) ---firmanent--- (water)

HOLY SPIRIT (water/land) --- firmanent --- (water)

God simply is. Jesus passes through the sky (or firmament or heaven). The Holy Spirit stays next to man so that man can be baptized.

There was a man named Abraham.

God made a promise to Abraham.

Genesis 22:17
I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore.

Matthew 20:16
For many are called, but few chosen.

Sand is an irritant, which is symbolic of mankind. Some of the sand will come into the water. This is referring to the water left on earth (the Holy Spirit) which is left next to man. The sand that comes into this water are those who hear the gospel message.

Even fewer will come into an oyster. Think of the oyster as Jesus. The grains of sand that come into that oyster are still an irritant. It is the oyster that coats the sand with a substance that smooths out the edges of sand and makes the irritating sand into a pearl. Jesus coats the irritating (sinful) man with the Holy Spirit, forming a pearl.

There was a traveler who found a hidden treasure – a pearl of great price.

Matthew 13:44 – The Parable of the Hidden Treasure
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.

Matthew 13:45-46 – Pearl of Great Price
45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls,
46 who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it.

Point #1: The man who finds the treasure hidden in a field is the same man who found a pearl of great price.

Point #2: The hidden treasure is the pearl of great price.

Point #3: The man went away and sold everything he had in order to buy that field that has the pearl in it.

Point #4: When the traveler returns to the field, he will pick up that pearl and take it to his father’s house, where it will shine like a star in heaven.

Deeper Point #1:

The man who finds the treasure hidden in a field is the same man who found a pearl of great price.

***The man is Jesus. The field is the world.

Deeper Point #2:

The hidden treasure is the pearl of great price.

***This is mankind coated with the Holy Spirit

***The great price is the payment for sin by the death of Jesus

Deeper Point #3:

The man went away

***Jesus left heaven to live on earth,

and sold everything he had

***then gave up his life

in order to buy that field that has the pearl in it.

***to pay the sins of the world

Deeper Point #4:

When the traveler returns to the field

***With the second coming of Jesus

he will pick up that pearl

***the sand that went into the oyster

and take it to his father’s house

***heaven

where it will shine like a star in heaven

Final Note: Abraham was promised that his descendants would be like sands on the shore, for many are invited. His descendants would outnumber the stars in the heavens, for few are chosen. There are more grains of sand than stars in heaven. Being a descendant of Abraham invites you, but doesn’t make you chosen. AND it is said, “and for the strangers who dwell among you and who bear children among you…shall be to you as native-born among the children of Israel; they shall have an inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel” (Ezekiel 47:22). So after Jesus, any man (irritant) who hears the gospel message (enters the water), believes Jesus (enters the oyster), and receives the Holy Spirit (coated by the oyster) is a descendant of Abraham.

10 Questions for Evolutionists PART 7

EVOLUTIONISTS VS. CREATIONISTS PART 7

This time we will present the question and the answer and they can reply.

10 NOTORIOUS DARWINIST FABRICATIONS

1. THE LIE THAT "IT HAS BEEN PROVED THAT LIFE COULD HAVE EMERGED BY CHANCE ON THE PRIMITIVE EARTH"
The only evidence cited in evolutionist sources is the 1953 Miller Experiment. Yet no living cell was created in this experiment, just a few amino-acids were synthesised. It is mathematically impossible for amino-acids to form strings in the right sequence by chance and make proteins, and for these to give rise to a cell. Miller's synthesised amino-acids are of no significance, since his experiment used gasses which were not present in the primitive atmosphere on earth. (see Miller's Experiment)

2. THE LIE THAT "THE HUMAN EMBRYO HAS GILLS"
This claim rests on a scientific fraud committed by the evolutionist biologist Ernst Haeckel at the beginning of the 20th century. In order to come up with proof of evolution Haeckel created drawings of the embryos of such living things as human beings, chickens and fish and placed them side by side. Yet there were distortions in these images. Today the whole scientific world recognises these as counterfeit. The structure shown as a "gill" by Haeckel is actually the beginning of the middle ear channel, the parathyroid and the thymus glands. (see The Recapitulation Misconseption)

3. THE LIE THAT "NATURAL HISTORY CONFIRMS THE TREE OF LIFE"
Darwinism maintains that life on earth originated and developed from a single root, subsequently splitting off into branches, like a tree. Evolutionists have struggled to make natural history fit this claim for 150 years. Yet natural history actually paints a diametrically opposed picture. The fossil record shows that there was no "tree of life" and that the basic groups of living things emerged suddenly and at the same time. Almost all the known phyla (basic groups of living things) emerged in the Cambrian period, some 530-520 million years ago. (see The "Tree of Life" is Collapsing)

4. THE LIE THAT "ARCHAEOPTERYX IS THE MISSING LINK BETWEEN REPTILES AND BIRDS"
The 150-million-year-old bird fossil known as Archaeopteryx has been portrayed as "the greatest fossil evidence of evolution" since the 19th century. It has been claimed that this fossil possesses certain reptilian features, for which reason it is the "missing link" between reptiles and birds. This claim has been invalidated, however, by recent findings that prove that Archaeopteryx was a perfect flying bird. Moreover, the alleged reptilian ancestors for birds, the theropod dinosaurs, are all younger than Archaeopteryx in terms of their appearance in the fossil record; a fact which evolutionists try to hide. (see The Archaeopteryx Misconception)

5. THE LIE THAT "THE EVOLUTION OF THE HORSE HAS BEEN PROVEN BY THE FOSSIL RECORD"
For decades now, 'the evolution of the horse' has been portrayed as one of the best documented proofs of evolution. Four-legged mammals which lived at different times have been lined up, from small to large, and these "horse series" exhibited in museums of natural history. Research in recent years, however, has revealed that the creatures in the series were not one another's ancestors, that the sequence is gravely mistaken, and that the creatures portrayed as the ancestors of the horse actually emerged after the horse. (see The Myth of Horse Evolution)

6. THE LIE THAT "LIVING THINGS POSSESS VESTIGAL ORGANS"
For a long time now it has been maintained in evolutionist sources that some organs in living things serve no function, and that these are evolutionary blind spots inherited from the evolutionary ancestors of the creatures in question. For instance, the human appendix and coccyx were for long years regarded as such vestigal organs. Yet the latest scientific findings have revealed that all these organs do actually have important functions. The "list of vestigal organs" drawn up by evolutionists at the beginning of the 20th century is now without foundation. (see The Myth of Vestigal Organs)

7. THE LIE THAT "VERTEBRATES' FIVE-FINGERED HAND STRUCTURE IS EVIDENCE OF EVOLUTION"
The dolphin's fin, the bat's wing and the human hand all contain a five-fingered bone structure. This similarity has for a long time been put forward in evolutionist schoolbooks or popular publications as evidence they all evolved from a common ancestor. Genetic research, however, has shown that these organs, which seem so alike on the surface, are actually controlled by very different genes. Evolutionists today admit that "similar organs do not represent evidence of evolution." (see The Fall of the Homology in Tetrapod Limbs)

8. THE LIE THAT "INDUSTRIAL MELLANISM IS EVIDENCE OF EVOLUTION BY NATURAL SELECTION"
Among the most frequently repeated so-called "proofs" of the theory of evolution in the world is that of the moth population in Great Britain during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century. According to this claim, air population darkened the colour of tree bark, which meant that since dark coloured moths had better camouflage they were protected from bird predators, as a result of which the dark coloured moth population increased. Yet this is not evolution, because no new species of mothsemerged. All that happened was the population levels of previously existing species changed. Moreover, recent works on the story show that the story itself was not true at all; the famous pictures of moths resting on trees were fake and no such "industrial mellanism" (darkening of colour due to industrial pollution) ever took place. (see The True Story of Industrial Melanism)

9. THE LIE THAT "MUTATION EXPERIMENTS ARE PROOF OF EVOLUTION"
Mutations are one of the two "evolutionary mechanisms" proposed by neo-Darwinism. It is suggested that these chance modifications to DNA caused living things to evolve. Thousands of mutation experiments have been performed to back up this claim. Some populations of living things, fruit flies in particular, have been subjected to intense mutation. Evolutionist publications portray these mutation experiments as "laboratory evidence of evolution." Yet the fact is that far from confirming evolution these experiments have actually undermined it. In not one living thing exposed to mutation has an increase in its genetic information been observed. On the contrary, mutants (living things exposed to mutation) are always deformed, sterile and sickly. (see Mutations)

10. THE LIE THAT "FOSSILS PROVE THAT APE-MEN ONCE LIVED"
Darwinism's mort prominent deception is the claim that man evolved from ape-like creatures. This claim has been imposed on society by means of thousands of fictitious drawings and models. The fact is that there is no evidence that "ape-men" ever lived. Australopithecus, portrayed as man's oldest ancestor, was actually an extinct ape species, not so very different from modern chimpanzees. Classifications such as Homo erectus, placed after Australopithecus in the evolutionary chain, Homo sapiens neanderthalensis and Homo sapiens archaic, were all different human races. (see The Imaginary Family Tree of Man)

10 Questions for Evolutionists (Part 6)

THE ARCHER FISH
Proof that Evolutionists Ignore

1 Question this time for the Evolutionists:
Darwin wrote in The Origin of Species, "If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed, which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down" (1859, p. 171). The archer fish has binocular vision which it uses to spot prey with precision. It possesses a special shaped upper mouth and a specialized tongue (which it could not make on its own) to shoot the concentrated jet of water needed to knock prey into the water. Many factors have to appear together—and be perfectly formed—for this shooting mechanism to work. The archer fish is obviously complex and there is absoultely no proof that this fish "evolved". By Darmin's own admission, his theory is "absolutely broken down" because the archer fish possesses complex organs.
How do you explain this contradiction to your THEORY of Evolution?

More information on the archer fish...

In Asia, Africa and Australia lives a remarkable creature, the archerfish, that shoots down its prey from the air above it with a burst of water. It uses its tongue and the top of its mouth to form a groove similar to a gun barrel. Then, by compressing its gills, it squirts water up to six feet with deadly accuracy—in spite of the distortion caused by seeing the target from below the surface of water.

What's so amazing about the archerfish's ability to shoot straight? When light passes between air and water, it is refracted, which causes a distortion. If an archerfish simply aimed at the object where it appeared to be from below the water, it could never hit its target! Yet scientists have found that archerfish are able to strike their target when sighting upwards at angles of 40 degrees!

More amazingly, marine researchers have discovered that these fish can hit their prey whether the amount of refraction is large or small. They have also found that the fishes' binocular vision allows them to see clearly at considerable distances above them, an ability other fish do not have.

Here is an experiment. In a clear glass of water, hold a pencil at an angle halfway under the water and look at it from different positions. Notice how the pencil appears different below and above the water. That is the refraction of the light changing from the water to the air.
So how can the archerfish compensate for this distortion and know how to shoot at the right place?

Evolutionists still don't know how the archerfish got its amazing abilities. They can only wonder! Viewed through the distortion of evolution, they cannot explain how the archerfish gradually learned to not aim where its eyes see but to aim instead at a different spot where the target actually is.
Without its binocular vision, it could not see the object with such precision, and without the special shape of the upper mouth and a specialized tongue, it could not make the groove it needs to shoot the concentrated jet of water. This, of course, goes totally against Charles Darwin's evolutionary theory, which is based on a gradual, step-by-step process.

Since several complex systems must all appear at the same time, perfectly and not gradually formed—binocular vision, a specialized mouth and tongue, specialized gills to compress and expel water and an aiming system based in the brain and not in the eyes, the archerfish is a real life example of how out of touch with reality evolutionists can go with their theory. If any of these parts is missing, the mechanism will not hit the target and no survival advantage is created.

When you get down to the facts, the archerfish with one squirt of its gills shoots down Charles Darwin's entire theory of evolution—and that by Darwin's own admission!
So evolution doesn't have the answer to this mystery. But the Bible does. Genesis 1:21-22 says that God created all the creatures that live in the water. He created a great variety of perfectly formed fish, including the archerfish with all its special features, such as binocular vision, other specialized organs and a built-in ability to compensate for the distortion of the water.
