II Peter 1:16-21Confirmation of Prophecy

Private Interpretations?

II Peter 2 & JudeJude 1:17 But you, beloved, remember

the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ:

Jude II Peter 2

Jude 4For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ.

II Peter 2:1But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction.

Jude 6And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day

II Peter 2:4For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment

Jude 7as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh,….

II Peter 2:6and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly;

Jude 8-9Likewise also these dreamers defile the flesh, reject authority, and speak evil of dignitaries. Yet Michael the archangel, in contending with the devil, when he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a reviling accusation, but said, "The Lord rebuke you!"

II Peter 2:10b-11They are presumptuous, self-willed. They are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries, whereas angels, who are greater in power and might, do not bring a reviling accusation against them before the Lord.

Jude 10But these speak evil of whatever they do not know; and whatever they know naturally, like brute beasts, in these things they corrupt themselves.

II Peter 2:12But these, like natural brute beasts made to be caught and destroyed, speak evil of the things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption,

Jude 11Woe to them! For they have gone in the way of Cain, have run greedily in the error of Balaam for profit, and perished in the rebellion of Korah.

II Peter 2:15They have forsaken the right way and gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;

Jude 12bThey are clouds without water, carried about by the winds; late autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, pulled up by the roots;

II Peter 2:17These are wells without water, clouds carried by a tempest, for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.

Jude 10But these speak evil of whatever they do not know; and whatever they know naturally, like brute beasts, in these things they corrupt themselves.

II Peter 2:12But these, like natural brute beasts made to be caught and destroyed, speak evil of the things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption,

II Peter 2:1-3: ApostasyMatthew 24:11-12Acts 20:30II Thessalonians 2:9-12I Timothy 4:1-4II Timothy 3:1-3I John 2:18-19

II Peter 2:4-9: JudgmentJudgment on false teachers

Evilution?

Rejecting the CreationThe Creation reveals God as Creator

Romans 1:16-20But:

Man rejects it in his follyRomans 1:21-28

Rejecting the CreationActs 17:32 And when they heard of the

resurrection of the dead, some mocked, while others said, "We will hear you again on this matter."

Rejecting the Creation“The Creation is answered”

“Obviously our gods did this”

“No room for debate”

The Modern GodsPagan gods were nothing

Therefore concerning the eating of things offered to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one.

1 Corinthians 8:4

The Modern GodsPagan gods were nothingAt the worst, demonic forces

Rather, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice they sacrifice to demons and not to God….

1 Corinthians 10:20

The Modern GodsToday, evolution has replace Zeus

Accepted Theory of Evolution: - All life on Earth is descended from an

universal ancestor - Repeated speciation and the divergence of

life created all known life

The Modern GodsIf this is true:

It is at best emptyIt is at worst demonic

Can we see this in the nature of evolution?

Four Evils of EvolutionConceived in GodlessnessBorn of wickednessGrown in deceitMatured in Intolerance

Conceived to Reject GodThe foundation of Evolution is AtheismCharles Darwin – Origin of Species 1859Darwin believed in Materialism: There is NOTHING beyond what is Material Effective Atheism

Conceived to Reject GodThe foundation of Evolution is Atheism

(Darwin’s notebooks) include many statements showing that he espoused but feared to expose something he perceived as far more heretical than evolution itself: philosophical materialism - Stephen Jay Gould

Conceived to Reject GodThe foundation of Evolution is Atheism

Darwin often used deistic language in his publications, but much in his Notebooks indicates that by this time he had become a ‘materialist’ (more or less = atheist).

Ernst Mayr

Conceived to Reject GodThe foundation of Evolution is Atheism

CHARLES ROBERT DARWIN …taught us that we can understand life’s history in purely naturalistic terms, without recourse to the supernatural or divine.

Niles Eldredge

More disquieting still is Professor D. M. S. Watson's defense. "Evolution itself," he wrote, "is accepted by zoologists not because it has been observed to occur or... can be proved by logically coherent evidence to

be true, but because the only alternative, special creation, is clearly incredible." Has it come to that?

Does the whole vast structure of modern naturalism depend not on positive evidence but simply on an a priori metaphysical prejudice. Was it devised not to

get in facts but to keep out God? C.S. Lewis

Born to Promote RacismWhy don’t we Read Descent of Man?

Darwin called it his “big book”Full title of the Origin of Species:The Preservation of Favoured Races in

the Struggle for Life

At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilised races of man

will almost certainly exterminate and replace throughout the world the savage races. ...... The

break will then be rendered wider, for it will intervene between man in a more civilised state, as we may hope, than the Caucasian, and some ape as low as a baboon, instead of as at present

between the negro or Australian and the gorilla.“The Descent of Man. 1871 London: John Murray. Volume. 1. p 201

Born to Promote RacismWhy don’t we Read Descent of Man?

Darwin called it his “big book”Full title:The Preservation of Favoured Races in

the Struggle for Life

It is very true what you say about the higher races of men, when high enough, replacing & clearing off the lower races. In 500 years how the Anglo-

saxon race will have spread& exterminated whole nations; & in consequence how much the Human race, viewed as a unit, will have risen in rank. 

Born to Promote RacismWhy don’t we Read Descent of Man?

Darwin called it his “big book”Full title:The Preservation of Favoured Races in

the Struggle for Life

If Nature does not wish that weaker individuals should mate with the stronger, she wishes even

less that a superior race should intermingle with an inferior one; because in such a case all her efforts, throughout hundreds of thousands of

years, to establish an evolutionary higher stage of being, may thus be rendered futile.

Born to Promote RacismWhy don’t we study Darwin’s cousin - Francis Galton, Father of Eugenics - The creed of Eugenics is founded

upon the idea of evolution.

Born to Promote RacismWhy don’t we study Darwin’s cousin - Francis Galton, Father of Eugenics - The chief result of these Inquiries has been to

elicit the religious significance of the doctrine of evolution. It suggests an alteration in our mental attitude, and imposes a new moral duty.

The Foolish schools rejected Evolution

Noble teacher arrested

Spread by DeceptionReality check:

“We are looking for a Tennessee teacher who is willing to accept our services in testing this law in the courts.......Our lawyers think a friendly test can be arranged without costing a teacher his or her job. Distinguished counsel have volunteered their services. All we need now is a willing client.” – ACLU Newspaper Ad

Spread by DeceptionThe Big Lies of Evolution:- It is believed by everyone- It has been observed in nature/laboratory- The fossil record supports evolution

Rules by Intolerance"Scientists should refuse formal debates because they do more harm than good, but scientists still need to counter the creationist message.”

Eugenie Scot, New Scientist

Rules by IntoleranceAll real scientists accept evolutionHow do we know they are real scientists?They accept evolution (summary, BH)

History Repeats ItselfPaul before the JewsPaul on Mars HillStephen before the Sanhedren

Then they cried out with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and ran at him with one accord; and they cast him out of the city and stoned him. Acts 7:57-58a

Romans 1Evolution is in step with Paul predictionsHow did pagan cultures culminate?

Human SacrificesHow an evolution culture culminates?

ConclusionsThere is NO COMMON GROUND between

Christianity and Evolution2 Corinthians 6:15-16a And what accord has Christ

with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God.

Even the Plan of Salvation is Taught By Creation

“The seed is the word of God” Luke 8:11

“having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.” Hebrews 10:22
