Why Good Things Happen to Bad People?

Image
  It is often asked, "Why do bad things happen to good people?" To try and answer that question today, I'm going to talk about "Why do Good things happen to bad people". One of the strangest lawsuits in US court history was filed on September 14, 2007. It was filed by Nebraska Senator Ernie Chambers. First elected to represent North Omaha's 11th District in the Nebraska State Legislature in 1970, Chambers was successfully re-elected in every ensuing election through 2004. On April 25, 2005, Chambers became Nebraska's longest-serving state senator, having served for more than 35 years. He was seeking to stop evil and injustice in the world, and he actually filed a lawsuit against God. The lawsuit sought a permanent injunction against God's interference in this world. Senator Chambers said of God, "He has allowed certain harmful activities to exist that have caused grave harm to innumerable people in the world." The lawsui...

The Sabbath Commandment Needs To Be Kept.

Image
A person needs to keep the Sabbath commandment just as he keeps all the other commandments.  You really need to reread the New Testament, again, if you think differently.   The Sabbath Commandment was never abolished and it remains the same day of the week as the Old Testament identifies it. 1  Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2  And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3  And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.  (Genesis 2:1-3). It clearly identifies the seventh day of the week, not the first day.  If you think otherwise, you are only fooling yourself, and ultimately God will hold you accountable. 2 Timothy 3:15-17 says: " And that from a child you have known the holy scriptures, which are able to make you wise...

Who Are The "Bereans" and Why Should We Care?

Image
The Bereans "received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so" (Acts 17:10-11). In ancient times, the  Bereans  were the inhabitants of the city of  Berea , also known in the  Bible  as Beroea, now known as  Veria  in what is today Greek Macedonia,  northern Greece . The name has been taken up by certain  Protestant  groups.  ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bereans ) A new Protestant Christian group began in the 1850s in the United States under the tutelage of Dr. John Thomas. The name " Christadelphian " was chosen as it is believed that those who believe and obey the  Commandments of Christ  and the Bible as the inspired word of God, are "Brethren in Christ". The original group split, with one group continuing with the name "The Christadelphians" and the second group adding the word "Berean" to become the " Berean Christadelphians ".  The word ...

Science Verses Religion, What Is True?

Image
Science Verses Religion The majority of the people in the world hold one of two basic beliefs on when life began.  One belief is based on scientific and archeological evidence.  The other belief is based on the creation story as told in the book of Genesis.  “Which is myth, God or Evolution?  Louis Boundure, director of Frances Strasbourg Zoological Museum and professor of biology at the University of Strasbourg, stated: Evolution is a fairy tale for grownups.  This theory has helped nothing in the progress of science.  It is useless.”(14[pg. 3]) Due to the lack of evidence for the theory of evolution as presented by Darwin, scientists are starting to accept the idea of an intelligent designer.  This idea is the basic concept of the creation story as told in the book of Genesis.  “ ‘Certainly not all scientists agree that no Creator exists and that we as human beings are the product of random chance. In 1972 the California State ...
