We pray that you will enjoy our commitment to the clear gospel of Jesus Christ and that today’s first part of this two-part message will be a blessing to you and your family.

I want you to know that I’m very disappointed in our educational system today today because of all the wild theories that are messing up so many of our people in America. There’s a lot of foolishness going on. There’s such lack of character, honesty, truthfulness that ought to turn your stomach. But it all starts because there’s a person who despises the truth. I wrote a book called The Declaration of the Gospel. I’m calling this one The Declaration of Satan, what he declares to be truth.

Remember, he’s not an original guy. He just copies, but then twists it, lies, deceives. You never met the devil. I asked this one guy, I said, you believe in the devil? He says, I sure do. I said, why? He says, I married his sister. Well, I’m not talking about that. I want you to know that there is a real devil and he copies everything. There’s a truth and then there’s deception, twisting truth. But people are looking for a reason, a purpose in life.

So I want to explain some things to you that I believe it’s very important. So take your Bible and turn to the book of 2 Corinthians and chapter 11. Corinthians chapter 11. There’s a statement mentioned here where Paul says that he fears for the church, fears for his people. And that is, he says there in verse 2, for I am jealous over you with Godly jealousy, for I have espoused you to one husband that I may present you as a chase version to Christ, but I fear.

Let’s by any means as the serpent beguiled thee through his subtlety so your minds should be corrupted from this simplicity that is in Christ. Paul said, I fear that it will corrupt your minds, talking about believers, because believers can get twisted in your thinking. Now you may believe in God, believe in Jesus Christ, know you have eternal life, know you’re going to heaven and you die, but you live like a lost man, you live like an atheist. And some people don’t recognize the tenets of various beliefs.

But you may have some of these, and so as we go through some of this, it is to help you to identify things in your own life, thoughts that you have, a belief system. And you need to examine yourself and see just where you’re coming from. See the very next verse talks about, for he that preaching is another Jesus, and another gospel, another spirit. Well, this is what the devil does. It’s something else. It’s not the true Christ, it’s not the true gospel, it’s not the true Holy Spirit.

It’s an imitation. That’s all he can do. But he receives so many of God’s people. God has a reason for us and you need to know what he’s talking about. Satan himself is and he clears himself to be a messenger of light. Now, who said that they are the light of the world? Jesus, he’s the light of the world. But he comes across as he’s the one that has the light. He’s the truth. And you have people that are questioning the Bible.

I believe the Bible is the source of truth. I believe it is truly what it claims to me, the word of God. Therefore I put all my confidence and all my hope in what this book says. And Jesus says, sanctify them through thy word. Thy word is truth. So therefore you and I are supposed to believe what the book says. But there’s others that don’t believe the book and will say they have the truth. They have the light. Satan wants to be what Jesus is, but he’s not the light of the world.

He is a false teacher and no moral for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light, claiming to be something that he is not. But now he will come across and believe it or not his teaching is permeated our school system. And this is why people are believing life they believe because they believe in a lie. It says if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost. And people are lost. but there’s also those that are saved.

It says, in whom the God of this world has blinded the minds, they blinds the minds of them which believe not. Now if he could do that to the lost, he hasn’t given up on the believers. He still will seek to deceive you as to your purpose in life and why you should live a holy life, a godly life. Why you should be an imitator of what God is like. You’re a child of the king. You should live like it and act like it and talk like it and walk like it.

Let’s the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God should shine under them. So the devil wants to keep people blinded. A few seeds planted years ago have sprung up all around the world. Think about this. 2000 years ago Jesus Christ had a few disciples. send them out. Now think of how many people throughout the world has heard of the name Jesus Christ. Isn’t it amazing? But there’s people who plant seeds and then they let it grow.

And the Bible says there is the incorruptible seed which is the Word of God and there is the corruptible seed which is the wisdom of man. It destroys, it leads astray. Now false messengers, there’s many of them. But just to give you a few, James Hutton, Charles Lyle, and Charles Darwin, some of these you may have heard of, but they planted seeds years ago, and were seeing the fruit of their root and how bad it really is. He was a Scottish geologist, chemist, naturalist.

He was initially attracted to chemistry. He entered the legal profession at the University of Eton-Burden, turned to medicine as it closed the reasonable chemistry. This is when these guys got started. And little by little, regardless of what they knew about the Bible or the philosophy of religion was at that time, they begin to get more knowledge and more knowledge and knowledge corrupts and knowledge puffs up. to become a intellectual and you think you know more than everybody else. Became a farmer to study rocks and so forth and so study in geology.

And the more you study and look at the world and trying to figure out where we come from, how old is the earth? Begin to have questions and doubts about what the Bible says. And so because many people don’t know that God can create with the appearance of age, then you’ve got to put millions and millions of years into the producing of this world that we live in. And if a light, you know, stars a hundred million light years away, well, whenever it came into being, well, that light travels at 186,000 miles a second.

Look how long it would take for the light to get here. And so if we can sit, it has to be that old. But they don’t know God can say, let there be light, and there it is. And so when God can make a man, how old is that man? God can make him brand new, but he might look 30. He made me in like 130. But now in his book Theory of Evolution proposed that the Earth was much older than people fought.

And so you begin to plant seeds and write books. And many of these professors wind up teaching in some of our universities and colleges. Our university and college are filled today with people who have a wrong belief. They believe the lie of the devil. and they’re teaching it to the young people. Charles Lyland, I have a couple of the books that I have studied years ago. And he was the father of geology. Previously, it was believed that the sedimentary rocks rather seen were a result of cataclysm like Noah’s Flood.

However, Sir Charles Lyall believed that cataclysms were not responsible for forming the appearance of the Earth’s crust, but very slow processes like we see happening today. So he came out with the uniformitarianism, the law of gradualism. In other words, the unchanging change, a breaking down process from one into another. And that breaking down process that it never changed. So he taught that. He wrote this. The doctrine of uniformitarianism, also known as gradualism, or the doctrine of unchanging change. By which they can say, well, you know, it takes so long for it to break down into this and then so long to break down into this.

And this breaking down process never changes. So therefore we can tell how all the rocks are. How all of those rocks depends upon where we find them. And what about the bones? Well, it depends on where they are. and they go on to a geological circle. And they’re talking about the geological ages. So you see, when we say we believe the Bible, it’s not that we haven’t listened or read and studied some of that other junk, it’s that we already know the truth.

The truth sets you free. These lies has to be led by another lie, and then another lie, and then another lie. There’s no end to it. Anyway, he has to write a book, and this book that he wrote became the seeds by which somebody else would read it. He says, the goal was to separate Moses from science. Because you see, true science and the Bible doesn’t agree. But the truth of the matter is, true science and the Bible do agree because God made the word and God made the world and they agree perfectly.

The Bible doesn’t agree with false science, pseudo science, but it does agree with the world. And what they really find, the truth of the matter, they agree perfectly. Now, in the late 18th century, then you hear Erasmus Darwin. Now, he was a grandfather of Charles Darwin. And so he planted some more seeds, seeds by which grandson comes along and listens to what he has to say. And Erasmus was a country physician, poet, amateur scientist, Scientists believe that evolution was occurring in different things, including humans, but it was rather fuzzy ideas about what might be responsible for the change.

What causes the change? I believe there’s a lot of changes that goes on in this world, but I don’t believe it makes evolution true. And that evolution, they say, is happening in such a slow process that you cannot observe at happening at the present time. So they said that’s not the proof that evolution didn’t happen just because you cannot observe it happening. That’s a good cop out. But they say we all started from a big bang back there somewhere, big bang.

Who started that bang? Well these gases came together and collided and boom. All of a sudden we have a, one cell of a me, floating around in the Uzi, now. Well where did they come from? Well these gas, where did they come from? So you see, you’re not to just quickly believe whatever they say. but you need to learn how to defend your faith. He suggested the earth and life, it must have been evolving for millions of ages before the commencement of history of mankind.

And that’s in his book. Are you right? Somebody has come along and reads it, and expands a little bit more. You see, anything that is not according to the truth of this book comes from the devil himself because he teaches a lie. Because see, if there is no God, then we don’t need a redeemer. If there’s no God, then we were not created. And if there is no God, then evolution just might be true. But the reason they believe in evolution is because the only alternative is creation.

And creation requires a creator. And there’s a plan, means a planner. And the design means a designer. Laws must be a law giver. So we believe that the Bible has the answers. Now, he wrote his book almost 63 years before Charles Darwin wrote his origin of the species. And 39 years before he left on a five year voyage. Now, he had gotten on this year one ship, the Beagle, and he was gonna travel around, and they were simply gonna make better maps of the earth.

And he got a chance to go on this five year trip. And by the time he got through, he had seen animals he’d never seen before. He wrote about these things, wrote his book, and he wind up a little by little, got into the teaching of evolution, and it had a lot of damage. And he’d gone to school, and even, believe it or not, studied the Bible, studied religion. He studied to be a clergyman in the Church of England.

So he had some degrees, and he was educated in religion, but evidently somewhere along the line he didn’t get. The answers he was looking for. Charles Darwin’s thinking and writing on the subject of evolution and natural selection caused him to reject the evidence for God in nature and ultimately to renounce the Bible and God and the Christian faith. Now, it’s amazing to me how many parents will educate their children at home because they don’t want those kids to be polluted by the public school system.

And in some of them, they will have them go to a Christian school. the private school, protecting their precious little minds. And then when they finally get old enough, they send them off to some college and university right into the middle of all of this stuff and say, now go fight for your life, defend yourself. And they have teachers who pride themselves in being faith breakers, to break your faith, to destroy your faith. You see why it doesn’t happen?

Yes, it does. And they take great pride in shame and he, and he, anyone who believes in the Bible. Or they learn to just shut up and give the teacher what they want and they have to have a humanist education or they can’t get certain jobs. Now, in August of 1831 Darwin received an invitation to serve as a natural subordinate to vote. So he went and it was a five year trip. And he went all over the world in order to make these better maps.

But he was interested in one main thing. He wanted to study all these things because he couldn’t understand how it got here. And these various types of animals and species and all that. So he came to the conclusion we had to evolve. But there’s some things that were denied. It means they had to deny that Noah’s flood was worldwide, didn’t believe that. And so if that’s true, then there is no divine judgment. There’s nothing to believe about the Bible.

You see, if evolution is true, then the creation story must not be true. It can’t be, both of them can’t be right. So it causes questions about the Bible. So when you don’t believe the book of Genesis, there’s no reason to believe anything else in the book. The study of the book of Genesis is the one most valuable lessons you’ll ever get because it’s the book of the begin. How did it begin? In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

And it doesn’t try to define who is this God. He’s God that created the heavens and the earth. Said, let there be light, boom, there’s light. God can do that. If God didn’t do it, who did? And he had to have self-preservation, where he depends upon no one or anything for his eternal existence. Now, one of Darwin’s biographers called Darwin’s, or Charles reading of this book, his point of departure from Orthodoxy. In other words, he was reading a book that was written by this guy named Charles.

He read the book. Darwin says, I never forget that almost everything which I have done in science I owe to the great works. And of course it means going from one form of life into another. The reason that people don’t get it is they always want to start with life and go into more complex forms of life. So we had to start with simple forms of life. No, go back further than that. Go back when there was no life at all.

Now what do you start with? So if you’re going to start in the very beginning, you’ve got to start back there when there wasn’t anything. How many of you have ever seen something come from nothing? You never have and you never will. It takes more faith to be an evolutionist than it does that believe this Bible because it requires miracles, a miracle that could not happen. So there is nothing, but then there’s something and nobody did it. That’s a miracle.

The Lord says in the book of Hebrews in chapter 3, he says, every house is built by some man. It’s just a natural reasoning. It’s rational to believe. When you see a house, somebody built that. the world somebody had to make it and we believe God did it. Inevitably the more Darwin convinced himself that species had originated by chance, random chance. Remember if it all happens by chance it means there was no plan, no design. There’s no intelligent person making it happen.

As we said before they talk about the evolution of the telephone or the evolution of the automobile, the telephone did not develop itself. It was done by an outside source with intelligent who had a plan. Did your automobile make itself? It’s not an evolution of it. It’s the development of a telephone. It’s the development because somebody developed it. It didn’t happen by chance. All of a sudden you picked up your cell phone. Hey, this thing’s a miracle. Nobody made it.

Would you believe that? If you can believe this stuff, something’s missing upstairs. So he believed it was long graduate. That’s just why the evolution had to be able to do it. to have millions and millions and millions of years because you have enough time. Anything is possible. No, it isn’t. He could not accept not only the account of Genesis in creation, but also the rest of the Old Testament as the divine inspired Word of God because you can’t accept it if evolution is true.

And there is no God. You can’t believe this book. Why would you need a Savior? What would save you from sin? What’s sin? What’s right, what’s wrong? It changes everything. And you wonder why we have so many college kids today that can’t think and reason? Because they don’t know what truth is. You have to have a source of truth. What is your foundation? What do you believe that doesn’t move? You’ve got to be anchored to something. And today everybody is wish what you’re on sand.

This is what Christ was talking about. You’re building your life, your house upon sand, and it won’t hold. Now, when you have teachers in the public school, colleges, universities, spouses, denizens, so this is a generation of young people, what will happen to their faith? What do you think happens to their faith? They begin to question their faith, and you wonder why good Christian parents would pay to destroy their children’s faith, but they’re doing it. But they don’t know how bad it is.

Well, they came from a good home, they’ll be all right. And most of them will never keep themselves pure. Number one, and they won’t be able to protect their mind. Number two, and number three, they may not know how to make a living, but they won’t know how to live life. It’s dangerous. But anyway, origin of the species, not addressed in 1859, still a mystery in 1998, both the origin of life and the origin of the major groups of animals remain unknown.

They cannot steal, explain where anything came from. So that’s why they had to go back and find a common denominator that we all branched off of. That common denominator doesn’t exist. We’ll say, well, they’re just got a missing link. No, the whole stupid change gone. I just before, but my ancestors might have swung by the neck, but they didn’t swim by the tail.

Evolution, transmutation of species has never been proven. The reason for this is very simple. It’s never happened. Evolution is no more than the imaginations of men who deny the word of God, and so are desperately struggling to, for some explanation, of for the origin of life. It is here. Somehow it got here, because life is here. Here we are. Where’d we come from? those who do not accept God’s word must seek another explanation. But when the Bible says this, in the beginning God created.

Well, if God claimed to have been in the beginning, we ought to at least listen to what He said. I mean, He’s the only witness we have, right? So if He’s the only one who claims to have been here, maybe He has something to say about it. He said, I was here. And then He wrote a book, told us what happened. Told us who did it? Now the evolutionists, they beat us all over the place. Well, we just believe in the book.

We’re just believing in blind faith. Okay. What kind of faith they got? Were they here? What books are they reading? There’s the one they wrote. But see ours is blind faith and theirs is on the facts. They don’t have any facts. I can make a monkey out of an evolutionist and don’t have to work too hard to do it. The evolutionist is trying hard, but somehow he isn’t getting anywhere. Even Charles Darwin himself recognized that although there is mutation within species, there are no transmutation to change.

No changes from one species into another. He wrote in his book, My Life in Letters. I learned this when I was at Florida Bible College. 1964, when he wrote in his book, and Dr. Stanford had us read it and it was also put in the personal Daniel handbook. Not one change of species into another is on record. We cannot prove that a single species has been changed into another. Charles Darwin said that. He said we can’t prove any of it.

That’s why it was called the theory of evolution. But even with the theory… Well, the evolutionist, that’s better than nothing, because that’s all they’ve got. You see, none of this stuff here has anything to do with the Bible. It has everything to do with the Bible. It makes a difference whether you believe that book or not. And look at the world. Did you know that Christians did they? We could change the world if God’s people would wake up and believe what this book says.

But somehow another, there has been teaching that’s come along and call people to think, don’t take it seriously. Don’t rock the boat. I mean, it doesn’t really matter. There’s no real danger being done. There’s no harm. Let people believe whatever they want to believe. No? In America we have the freedom to believe anything we want. But just because you believe it doesn’t make it right. Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution. Because these are teachers and colleges and universities that have that have popped this stuff to these precious little minds that have gone to school to get educated, enlightened.

And Satan has his teachers. There’s a mystery as to how evolution occurs, but there’s not a whole lot of doubt as to whether it occurs. In other words, we can’t prove it, but we all know what happened. Isn’t that good? And you hear them as a teaching in a university. I mean, this guy is a college professor. He must know what he’s talking about. He’s so much more intelligent. You go to church today and all you got is a preacher don’t know what he’s talking about.

Reading from a book that’s a old fashioned book written 2000 years ago. Hey, we’re in the 21st century, don’t you know that? I mean, we got to be more intelligent today. I’d rather study the old paths, believe the old book. It has sustained me fairly well. I believe the book. And that doesn’t mean that I can’t see what is going on and who’s teaching what. And I don’t agree with it. I believe this book is true. And it has made a difference in my whole life.

You see, if I didn’t believe this, I’d believe all this other stuff. And this is why we got kids to date. They’re not being taught the Bible. So they think this is the only truth there is. And it’s going to ruin their lives. Stephen Hoggins. He says, we are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the universe. That makes us something very special. Don’t you feel good? We’re just an advanced breed of monkeys.

What he says, what I have done is to show that it is possible for the way the universe began to be determined by the laws of science. In that case, it would not be necessary to appeal to God to decide how the universe began. in the words, he’s not necessary. God’s not necessary. It doesn’t prove God doesn’t exist. It just proved that we don’t need him. And these are key people that are teaching that they got degrees after their name.

They got to be intelligent. Richard Russell, man I read about him a long time ago, he’s quite deliberately that the Christian religion as organizing its churches has been and still is the principle enemy of moral progress in the world. Why do you think these intelligent people want to do away with churches and Bibles and prayer and the schools and all these things. They want to eliminate because we are in opposition to what they believe and they will not be satisfied or we were satisfied as long as they stayed in the closet.

But now they come out of the closet and will put us in it. I have no intentions of going in the closet. I’m looking for the highest heel. Are you a new listener to Bibleline?
