Biases of the Christian religion VS the biases of the religion of secular humanism

Posted by J.J. on 12 Oct 2010 | Filed under: apologetics, JJ, Quotes

From the book “Refuting Evolution”
by Jonathan Sarfati, Ph.D., F.M
http://www.Creation.com

So it’s not a question of biased religious creationists versus objective scientific evolutionists; rather, it is the biases of the Christian religion versus the biases of the religion of secular humanism resulting in different interpretations of the same scientific data. As the anti-creationist science writer Boyce Rensberger admits:

At this point, it is necessary to reveal a little inside information about how scientists work, something the textbooks don’t usually tell you. The fact is that scientists are not really as objective and dispassionate in their work as they would like you to think. Most scientists first get their ideas about how the world works not through rigorously logical processes but through hunches and wild guesses. As individuals, they often come to believe something to be true long before they assemble the hard evidence that will convince somebody else that it is. Motivated by faith in his own ideas and a desire for acceptance by his peers, a scientist will labor for years knowing in his heart that his theory is correct but devising experiment after experiment whose results he hopes will support his position.2
It’s not really a question of who is biased, but which bias is the correct bias with which to be biased! Actually, Teaching about Evolution admits in the dialogue on pages 22–25 that science isn’t just about facts, and it is tentative, not dogmatic. But the rest of the book is dogmatic that evolution is a fact!

Professor Richard Lewontin, a geneticist (and self-proclaimed Marxist — see documentation), is a renowned champion of neo-Darwinism, and certainly one of the world’s leaders in promoting evolutionary biology. He recently wrote this very revealing comment (the italics were in the original). It illustrates the implicit philosophical bias against Genesis creation regardless of whether or not the facts support it:

We take the side of science in spite of the patent absurdity of some of its constructs, in spite of its failure to fulfil many of its extravagant promises of health and life, in spite of the tolerance of the scientific community for unsubstantiated just-so stories, because we have a prior commitment, a commitment to materialism. It is not that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us to accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but, on the contrary, that we are forced by our a priori adherence to material causes to create an apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that produce material explanations, no matter how counter-intuitive, no matter how mystifying to the uninitiated. Moreover, that materialism is an absolute, for we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door.

:: Leadership ::

Posted by J.J. on 03 Oct 2010 | Filed under: apologetics, JJ, Quotes

I am listening to a message by John Maxwell, and he said the following…

“Leadership is influence. Nothing more. Nothing less. [Therefore] He who thinks he is leading but has no one following him, is only taking a walk.” – John Maxwell

That is so true!… Maxwell then goes to point out and remind us that Jesus Christ is not only our Savior, but also the greatest leader that ever lived! Think about how much influence one solitary life has had thoughout history to this day.

Do you know Him as your personal savior? Jesus Christ was not just a good teacher, or prophet. He was the Son of God. If you have not put your trust in Him as your personal savior, you might want to consider it now. Life is short and frigle. Don’t wait, meet your Savior today! Click on the link below…

“Lordship Salvation”

Posted by J.J. on 22 Aug 2010 | Filed under: apologetics, JJ, Quotes

Salvation is by grace alone…

Here are some thoughts on the issue of whether you need to make Jesus Christ Lord over your life to be saved or if salvation is just by believing in Jesus Christ as your personal savior. As sinners, we need a savior. As believers in Jesus Christ, God desire for us to make Him our Lord over every area of our lives, but that’s NOT what saves us. choosing to put our trust in Him for our eternal destiny is what save us. Its a one time choice; receiving His gift of eternal life. check out the following thoughts…

“God offers to save us as sinners and doesn’t require us to stop sinning and start obeying Him before He saves us. “But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” I John 1:8 tells us that “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” No one can say that he stopped his sinning and THEN the Lord saved him. It is impossible.” – Dr Stanford

“There is a vast difference between coming to Jesus for salvation and coming after Jesus for service. Coming to Christ makes one a believer, while coming after Christ makes one a disciple. All believers are not disciples. To become a believer one accepts the invitation of the Gospel. To be a disciple one obeys the challenge of a life of dedicated service and separation. Salvation comes through the sacrifice of Christ, but discipleship comes only by sacrifice of self and surrender to His call for devoted service. Salvation is free, but discipleship involves paying the price of a separated walk. Salvation cannot be lost, because it depends upon God’s faithfulness, but discipleship can be lost, because it depends upon our faithfulness.” – Dr. M. R. DeHaan

“Christ died and rose again for all (Hebrews 2:9; I John 2:2), but He saves only those who trust Him. That is to say, even though He is the “Saviour of the world,” He saves only those in the world who personally and individually receive Him by faith. God invites “whosoever will” to trust in His Son, but it is an amazing truth of God’s Word that men can forbid the Saviour to save them. Such men die without a Saviour, though One was available to them all the time (John 3:16 – 18; I John 5:10 – 12; Revelation 22:17).” – Dr. Stanford

My friend, if you don’t know Jesus Christ as your Savior, I implore you to consider your eternal destiny! Life is fragile. Don’t wait any longer to decide…
