Comment on The Rise of Theistic Evolutionism – The Salvation of Christianity? by Ron D Henderson.

My first inclination on the topic of theistic evolution is that it is a waste of time!

Our real enemy, and I agree with Dawkins, is evolution, period. Evolution is Satan’s simplistic counter to creation.

Theistic evolution is Satan’s Fifth Column within the Church of God to confuse the church and to retard the onward proclamation of the Gospel of salvation from sin and rebellion inherited from Adam and Eve in their original sin.

Our battle is with evolution. Theistic evolution is a misnomer and a no no! Briefly again (for others have made this point ad infinitum), to accept theistic evolution we would have the following: 1) Would be to disregard, disbelieve, Genesis (and all other passages in the Scriptures that speak of creation by God or Jesus)as literal; 2) to reject the redemptive response of God through Jesus to man’s sin and rebellion; 3) would be to make biblical Christianity just a club for deluded devotees, no different from all other non-Christian religious organizations; 4) to disparage the second coming of Christ to redeem his people who have turned from their sins and accepted his offer of forgiveness, pardon, and salvation; 5) to make the Scriptures a book of purely man’s speculations on God, man’s origins, and the purposes of God for sinful planet earth.

Theistic evolution’s attack on the biblical Christianity has the same goal as evolution: to undermine the literal interpretation of the Word of God and thus to undermine the truths of the Bible regarding man’s origin, Fall, redemption, and restoration.

And as such it is just as sinister and destruction of the biblical Christian’s belief and experience with the Creator. In my way of thinking, not just as a Pastor, but as a biblical Christian, theistic evolution is an ‘inside job’ or attack on the church to cause mayhem, discouragement, and unbelief! And this is a strategy of the devil. Let’s not fall for it, folks. God bless.

The Rise of Theistic Evolutionism – The Salvation of Christianity?
Wendell: Yes, it is possible for people to believe in things that contradict other beliefs they hold. However, what gives a man’s beliefs credence is the logic and consistency of his beliefs. If he realizes, or made to realize, that his beliefs are contradictory then he has to modify and sort out his beliefs. But that is not our problem, it’s his. However, we are to show (as we do here) that his beliefs cannot line up with scripture, and that he has not really given proper thought to the logical and coherent path of his beliefs. Our duty is to show that the incoherence of his belief system contradict and undermine the very foundation upon which we stand, the Bible. It all boils down to whether or not we accept the Word of God as foundational and our only rule of faith; and that all other thoughts and ideas must be judged by the sentiments of the Written Word, not the other way round as do evolutionists and theistic evolutionists.


The Rise of Theistic Evolutionism – The Salvation of Christianity?
Folks, theistic evolutionists cannot believe (should not believe) in the second coming of Christ. It’s a contradiction for them to do so.

The second coming according to the Bible, is only for those who taking the Bible literally have accepted the redemptive acts of God through Jesus; they have surrendered their sinful nature to the reforming and redeeming act of Jesus.

And because most of the present world will have rejected this redemptive act and refused to acknowledge Jesus as the Saviour of the world, and because these ‘rejectors’ of God’s salvation grace will seek to persecute and kill God’s faithful ones, Jesus will come to rescue them; he will come to destroy the wicked and at the same time remake the earth after dealing with Lucifer and all his cohorts.

Now all of this is a direct result of the Fall which Adam and Eve incurred in the Garden of Eden after God made them and warned them about Lucifer’s intentions.

If Adam and Eve theistically evolved, how and when did sin come about? And What is the nature of this ‘sin’ they committed? Why would Jesus have to come and die for their sin?

Did Lucifer really cause Adam and Eve to sin? Is Satan real? Why are they subject to earth only? For biblical Christians the answer to these questions are in the Bible; for theistic evolutionists and evolutionists these questions are unreal and fantasy.

No my friends, theistic evolutionists cannot believe in the biblical account of man and earth’s origin. So neither of them can believe in the Second Coming; Dawkins has already made that crystal clear.

We biblical Christians know what we believe (and I do not say this arrogantly).

Theistic evolutionists are only speculating and flirting with false science and evolutionists.

Let’s stay faithful to the Word, buoyed up as it were by the gift of prophecy that God has given to his church in Ellen white. God bless.

Scientists and the Temptation to Bias Results
This is so sad but not surprising. One can add to this article the intimidation at universities of creationists, and even the threat of not graduating those who hold creationist world views. And even the governments’ educational systems support these frauds one way or the other. I guess the devil must do his work of obfuscation and deceit. Unfortunately some of humanity will learn the truth too late.


Believing the Disproven – An Adventure in Science
Excellent article! However this is not unique or strange for the truth presenters. How many times in the Bible we read of the ‘truthers’ accommodating error? Legion; just check the record of the kings of Israel and Judea. Did not our mother inherit that from satan in the Garden under the forbidden tree? Check how she evangelized her husband, our father! But then again, God had and still has His remnant!! Good to know that. Evolution? Just open satan’s box of strategies for planet earth and see some of His plans!


Ted Wilson: No Room for Evolution as Truth in Adventist Schools
I am all for accountability. If these teachers are not accountable for upholding our biblical teachings we may as well close up shop for anything goes! But that is not our practice. We are duty bound to promote and subscribe to our teachings. Those who do not do so or cannot do so must be relieved of their duties. [edit] We endanger our students when we teach falsehood in our science classes. The UK recognized the importance of accountability to its false science in schools and banned creation in government supported schools. Are the Gentiles wiser than the children of God? Elder Wilson must now put teeth to his words by calling all our institutions to accountability or the GC will have to see that they do…


Dr. Nick Matzke Explains the Evolution of Complexity
I find it quite amusing how we argue evolution with a straight face and are so hypothetical, philosophical, and imaginary. It’s not what could be or what should be. It’s actually what is! When we take the ‘what is’ and run it backwards to the earliest beginnings we find that there is no difference between what is and what was. The evolutionary concept of ‘evolving’ is very hard to come by. We do not see it. And what we see is in itself a complete whole and not an evolutionary misfit. For the religion of evolution to survive it has to exercises humongous faith and story telling but without any specimen and its generation before them. For creationists there is only one model and that is the Genesis account. And by the Genesis account I mean a literal acceptance of Genesis and all support passages through out the Scriptures. I do not refer to ‘other’ creation accounts that would neuter the Genesis narration. These are akin to the varied evolutionists’ accounts of origins. The ‘debate’ was like watching two individuals debate the origin of a motor car parked in front of them. Each had his imagination, philosophy, and supposition. Except if the car could talk it would say, first, you both were not there and so are badly off track. Secondly, it would say, I was made by someone with intelligence, humor, and skill. Of course for the evolutionist to say that would give the game away and their religion would become extinct! One day it will, believe it or not!


The Adventist Accrediting Association is Still Reviewing LSU
Let us not forget that God is in charge of this work and of his church. And yes, we do suffer for our negligence, procrastination and compromise. But God is still in charge. If the men at the helm of his church on earth are delinquent and refuse to rock the boat, then they will be removed in His good time. In the mean while we must be faithful and do all in our power to correct the situation in our sphere of control, regardless of the ‘feelings’ of the ‘peace, peace’ lovers in the church.
