Building Relationships Through God's Love

​Scripture of the Week:
​
Psalm 92

Of David.

It is good to praise the LORD,
to sing hymns to Your name, O Most High,

To proclaim Your steadfast love at daybreak,
Your faithfulness each night

With a ten-stringed harp,
with voice and lyre together.

You have gladdened me by Your deeds, O LORD;
I shout for joy at Your handiwork.

How great are Your works, O LORD,
how very subtle Or “profound.” Your designs!

A brutish man cannot know,
a fool cannot understand this:

though the wicked sprout like grass,
though all evildoers blossom,
it is only that they may be destroyed forever.

But You are exalted, O LORD, for all time.
Surely, Your enemies, O LORD,
surely, Your enemies perish;
all evildoers are scattered.

You raise my horn high like that of a wild ox;
I am soaked in freshening oil.

I shall see the defeat of my watchful foes,
hear of the downfall of the wicked who beset me.

The righteous bloom like a date-palm;
they thrive like a cedar in Lebanon;

planted in the house of the LORD,
they flourish in the courts of our God.

In old age they still produce fruit;
they are full of sap and freshness,

attesting that the LORD is upright,
my rock, in whom there is no wrong.

God's Word and Science

Grant R. Jeffery states, "The Signature of God With all these truths revealed in Scripture, how could a thinking person deny that the Bible is supernatural in origin? There is no other book in any of the world’s religions (Vedas, Bhagavad-Gita, Koran, Book of Mormon, etc.) that contains scientific truth. In fact, they contain statements that are clearly unscientific."

The Truth is in Black and White (and sometimes Red)


IN THE BEGINNING (everything has a start) GOD CREATED (decisions must be made on a project and parameters must be set and formulations designed. Then He took the parameters and the design with the right components) THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH (the basis for which on everything else will be shaped).  Sounds like a complex scientific and mathematical project in the works. What if I told you that we can find scientific facts in Scripture? In fact, we can find many realms of scientific disciplines within the Bible. Let me explain this process as we dissect God’s Word through His creation.
Science explains the universe using time, space, matter, and motion. Look at this:
"In the beginning (time) God created (power) the Heaven (space) and the Earth (matter)... And the Spirit of God moved (motion) upon the face of the waters."
NASA, testing Russia’s Big Bang Theory, sent a multi-billion dollar explorer to the outer limits of space when they could have gone into a church and picked up a Bible to understand the beginning of all things.
The Hubble telescope proved that there is a place in space that confirms “the vast void” which was the beginning.
Hebrews 11:3 says, “Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear”.
The smallest particles, atoms if you will, are the invisible molecular level in which the Word of God is imprinted. An atom is made of protons and neutrons which are in the dense center of an atom called a nucleus. There is a charge of positive charges that are bound together by some unknown force. Things that make you go Hmmm.  
  Recent discoveries find a coding on DNA which states, ”I AM”.
How about proof that the earth is round and not flat "He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in." (Isaiah 40:22)
The universe expands….no really it does, and science just figured that out too.
What about the stars?? Science has discovered that stars emit radio waves, which are received on earth as a high pitch. God mentioned this in Job 38:7: "When the morning stars sang together..."
The earth is formulated like a successful science experiment.
There is just the right amount of water in the oceans and on land, any deeper the water would absorb all the CO2 and nitrogen to the point where no creature on earth could survive.
Isaiah 40:12 "Who has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand..."
God has measured the waters and set a proper amount of water on the Earth.
 "He...hangs the earth upon nothing" (Job 26:7).   The earth is free floating in orbit and held by gravity.
How does the wind current work??  "The wind goes toward the south, and turns about unto the north; it whirls about continually, and the wind returns again according to his circuits" (Ecclesiastes 1:6).
Solomon described a "cycle" of air currents two thousand years before scientists "discovered" them. The Bible describes the circulation of the atmosphere, and includes some principles of fluid dynamics.
We have a revolving earth, with day and night at the same time.
 “I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.”  Luke 17:34–36 which discusses the Second Coming of Jesus Christ states that He will come while some are asleep at night and others are working at daytime activities in the field.
The Importance of Blood and Washing
Leviticus 17:11, declared that blood is the source of life: "For the life of the flesh is in the blood."
That was written 3,000 years ago
The practice of intentionally “bleeding” those who were sick occurred until about 120 years ago, this caused many deaths. Blood is life, lose blood, and lose life.
Blood Clotting has been proven to begin occurring after a child is out of the womb by the 8th day. The Covenant of Blood through circumcision was performed on the 8th day after birth. Holt Pediatrics, observed that a newborn infant has “peculiar susceptibility to bleeding between the second and fifth days of life.... Hemorrhages at this time, though often inconsequential, are sometimes extensive; they may produce serious damage to internal organs, especially to the brain, and cause death from shock and exsanguination” (1953, pp. 125-126).    
God gave specific instructions to His people for when they encounter disease: "And when he that has an issue is cleansed of his issue; then he shall number to himself even days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean" (Leviticus 15:13). Doctors washed their hands in a bowl of water, leaving invisible germs on their hands and spreading diseases.  The Bible says specifically to wash hands under "running water."
Arturo Castiglione wrote about the overwhelming importance of this biblical medical law: ‘The laws against leprosy in Leviticus 13 may be regarded as the first model of sanitary legislation’ (A History of Medicine)."
Biogenesis and the Chemical nature of the flesh
Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth”; and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And God saw that it was good." Gen 1:11-12

And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being. Genesis 2:7
What about Mental and Physical stability
Proverbs 12:4
An excellent wife is the crown of her husband, But she who causes shame is like rottenness in his bones.
Proverbs 14:30
A sound heart is life to the body, But envy is rottenness to the bones.
Proverbs 15:30
The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, And a good report makes the bones healthy.
Proverbs 16:24
Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, Sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.
Proverbs 17:22
A merry heart does good, like medicine, But a broken spirit dries the bones.
God created Man in His Image. When He spoke using the plural He was speaking of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  This does not mean the physical attributes but the mental, spiritual, and emotional values and characteristics. The Truth (Word) was imprinted in our very DNA. We know it but do not comprehend all things that are written there. I believe God enabled the release of knowledge and understanding at appointed times through appointed people so that we are not all super geniuses and God like from day one. Since Adam and Eve ate the apple we have progressed to be more like God in many industrial ways. We have forgotten that God created us to be caretakers of the earth and each other, righting wrongs and cultivating growth. He gave us the capacity to learn, have free will, create, and destroy which are all attributes of our creator. He gave us the power to Love and understand each other but man has perverted that by his own greedy desires. Science is in the Bible. We are just at the tip of what else can be learned from Scripture. Progressive science has proven Biblical truths and contributing it God.  Maybe if we concentrate of the spirit instead of industry we would have a better understanding and live a Crist-like life. I don’t know but is that not what God wants from us? We need to live a life in Christ, loving one another as He has loved us.
