I appreciate the dialogue by all on this. I want to point out 3 salient things:

1) Most times, especially in official news releases, as much is said by what is not addressed, as what is actually said.

2) If we want to know why all of this is dragging out & taking so long to get official decisions & actions, I would walk down the hall to the legal department & knock on the door – if you understand my hint?

3) The old adage – follow the $ money $ trail to the truth – is likely as valid in this situation as at any other time….(donor support issues; lawsuit issues; grants & loans issues; outside funding issues; contractural pay issues; etc., etc)

Our beloved Church & all leadership especially need our prayer support as we near the edge of the greatest storm of human history soon to be upon us….Evolution WILL be a dominant catalyst to initiate this greatest storm! Creation and Creation’s “Memorial Day” WILL be the dominant theme / test of choice during this greatest storm!

We are living in the “outer bands” now as it is rapidly maturing, deepening, approaching!

I found as I circulated throught the various university exhibit booths at the 2010 GC Session in Atlanta, that a significant number of them were going out of their way to distribute clearly stated literature that demonstrated THEY were NOT inline with LSU’s teachings.

This was especially true of SAU, Union, SWAU, AU, OAU.

I stopped in LSU booth & had a personal conversation directly with their president. He was artful at trying to put a happy face on LSU & the controversy. But an unambiguous affirmation of a literal 24/6 contiguous Creation was glaringly absent from his words, and any literature they had there.

Why the foot-dragging? If they TRULY support Bible Creation account + Flood account, why not just come out & say it clearly & unequivocably? ALL controversy would be laid to rest in an instant.

Reminds me of the artful dodging Lucifer exercised in Heaven as he misled 1/3 of the Angels!

As our newly elected Church leadership is tasked with working through the thorny legal, HR, contractural, donor base, financial issues that make the theology of this evolution vs creation conflict perhaps seem the least of their concerns — let us lift them up sincerely in prayer!

These are the times that will try mens souls…will folks be bought or sold…will they remain true to duty as the needle to the pole?

I am reminded of the betrayal scenario that Judas entered in to against the World’s Savior…and how even for him there was a chance to be saved right up to the end; and his final decision was made. We need to pray for those who are in the valley of decision on all of this –> Evolution vs Creation WILL be the backdrop for THE ultimate decision about Creation’s Memorial Day.

The 1925 Scope’s Monkey Trial is looming ever so large these days….there William Jennings Bryan lost it as he failed to connect the consequential dots as Clarence Darrow pinned him into the “theistic evolution” corner and against the plain 24 hour / 6 literal day “thus saith the Lord” from Scripture. And American education has been sliding down this slippery slope ever since….

And now here we are!

It’s simply AMAZING to see how often God’s perspective gets validated by the evolutionists and those who align with such:

Because the thing which may be known of God is clearly revealed within them, for God revealed it to them. For the unseen things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being realized by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, for them to be without excuse. Because, knowing God, they did not glorify Him as God, neither were thankful. But they became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man, and birds, and four-footed animals, and creeping things. Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves. For they changed the truth of God into a lie, and they worshiped and served the created thing more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. – Romans 1:19-25

Professed wise guys who are actually total fools! Evolutionists have validated the Creator God’s pronouncement over & over & over. Ironically enough – reading this sort of foolishness, even here on this site can provide true faith & loving trust in one’s Creator God! Some words from EGW reminds us as the “foolishness of this world” intensifies towards the end – we must gather warmth from the coldness of others! Amen to that! Doing it with each evolutionary foolishness post!

Last point: If a bad guy busts into liberal evolutionists home intent on evil & mahem, there’s exactly TWO things that liberal evolutionist is going to do: 1) Call a guy with a gun to come & save them; and 2) PRAY to the Creator God that the guy with a gun gets there in time…END OF STORY!

Jas 4:17 Therefore to him who knows to do good, and does not do it, to him it is sin.

To “know” you have to have mature enough moral awareness of right & wrong. You have to have actual knowledge & comprehension of facts about what is right & wrong & why. Clearly God Himself is the only adequate Judge of this “knowing”. Therefore we leave all salvation judgments to Him alone.

While it is entirely true that a baby “conceived in sin” is not knowingly guilty of sin. Nevertheless, that child (all of us) was born sin-separated from God and therefore in need of a Savior from conception on. And that Savior HAS BEEN PROVIDED for all children and all who are living up to the light that they “know” and are capable of “knowing”.

We’ve got to allow our merciful & loving Heavenly Father latitude here to perform as Judge Advocate General — who will also by no means “clear the guilty!”

Perfect Justice! Righteousness and Peace have “Kissed each other” in Jesus Christ our Savior / Advocate.

@Wesley Kime:

A brother to brother thank you to both Charles & Wesley for your encouragement…by the way, you two together makes “Charles Wesley” who happens to be a great historical soldier of Christ!

Well…the likes & dislikes…I know it’s a somewhat limited communication medium here, no non-verbal, no feedback. So perhaps folks don’t fully understand what’s being said, in some cases.

Nevertheless, it really goes back to “the heart” of the matter…which is our loving + just Savior is examining ALL hearts to ascertain who truly wants to be with Him in Paradise…and who truly will be happiest there and not allow iniquity to rise up a second time.

So in my humble estimation, even our simple “clicks” of like / dislike here on Earth register our moment by moment choices that resonate through the Most Holy Place to help make the ultimate case of our total life choices, all overseen by our dear Jesus who sees our true intent & motive behind even simple “clicks”, and is still interceding for a little while longer….

@Faithful Disciple:

Absolutely Faithful Disciple. Thank you for clarifying that principle that we are each called to “stand up for Jesus” … I love the inspired words, “men who will not be bought or sold…as true to duty as a needle to the pole”.

I believe that our loving & just God, who will by no means clear the guilty, is at this special before probation closes moment, looking deep into current beating hearts for motive, for loyalty, for intent. We too must examine ourselves to see if we be in the faith – a genuine / authentic to the bone loyally loving commitment of purposeful obedience to Jesus Christ & genuine cherishing of & joining with His most precious possession on fallen Earth – His Church.

I would like to leave with this group of thinkers a spiritual lesson God has been trying to teach this hard head of mine….

Recalling that clear text – “we will give an account for every idle word” – have we stopped to consider how much we ought to pray carefully & be exceeding cautious about what we put on down in WRITING on these internet sites? I mean, many employers now do Facebook / Twitter research before hiring folks; law enforcement is finding the internet to be one of their greatest resources for indictments & proof of law breaking…..

How much more should we expect our loving, just, God who will by no means clear the guilty, to use these posts we place in cyberspace for all time & eternity!

Sober food for thought. Reminds me of what CS Lewis said: “There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, ‘Thy will be done,’ and those to whom God says, in the end, ‘Thy will be done.’”

Blessings to each one – we each are stewards of a life JESUS saw fit to die for. We will all answer for our stewardship…and that includes internet postings.
