Neither does man have gills for living in a water environment; yet it is not sinful to explore the depths of the oceans in search of food or other blessings.

With our knowledge of modern-day genetics, we realize that it was possible for God to place the potential for all people throughout history into the genes of Adam and Eve when He created them.

Time is not eternal but was created by God at the beginning.

Accordingly, one race is neither superior nor inferior to another.

God has stated in clear and concise language how He created the universe and we ought not to doubt His Word.

Time was God's first creation.

Essentially this promise before curse, this superiority of God's love in Christ, must come from the Bible.

Angels possess greater powers than do human beings.

Therefore, sins of sex are punished in this life to a greater degree than some other sins.

If we knew exactly what animal life was like before the fall into sin and knew what nature was like before the law of entropy invaded it, we would already be living in heaven.

Sex is not sinful, but sin has perverted it.

Some people turn from God because they cannot understand how a good God can permit evil in the world.

This solution may not appeal to our human pride, but the problem is that our human pride in itself is sinful.

Scripture suggests that the elements in space were created for the benefit of earth, while evolution suggests that earth is an insignificant speck in vast space.

If leaders in the space program had at its beginning in the 1940s, pointed out the benefits to people on earth rather than emphasizing the search for proof of evolution in space, the program would have saved $100 billion in tax money and achieved greater results.

Essential to the theory of evolution is the premise that everything has come into being by itself.

The Moon and Mars were the two most likely candidates for life in the solar system; what exists beyond our solar system is mere guesswork.

Science is defined in various ways, but today it is generally restricted to something which is experimental, which is repeatable, which can be predicted, and which is falsifiable.

A creationist can embarrass an evolutionist by asking for a definition of species.

No writer of a portion of the Bible was perfect. It was the direct and miraculous operation of the Holy Spirit that what they wrote is without mistake.

It seems we will continue to have problems with this classification and it may be because it comes under the heading of creation rather than preservation.

We agree that man was not created to survive in space.

But, when Scripture makes a clear distinction between the act of creation and the process of preservation, we cannot accept the idea of a progressive creation process.

Thus, races arose from an original coding which God pulled out as needed for adaptation to the environment.

In Christ the original image of God is restored, by faith in this world and by sight in the world to come.

Language expresses people's thinking and it was by a Word that God created the world and preserves it.

Any concept of one person being superior to another can lead to racism.

In the beginning of the human race there was no genetic load which would cause undesirable traits such as appear in offspring of marriages between relatives today.

Being made in the image of God, man was the crown of creation.

There are also scientific problems with the concept that each of the creation days was a long period of time.

Neither does man have gills for living in a water environment; yet it is not sinful to explore the depths of the oceans in search of food or other blessings.

Following the creation concept that creation processes differed from preservation processes, it is suggested that God endowed each created kind, at the time of its creation, with potential for vast variety.

Being made in the image of God man was the crown of creation.

The blessings we evoke for another descend upon ourselves.

We look forward to the time when the power to love will replace the love of power. Then will our world know the blessings of peace.

Three meals plus bedtime make four sure blessings a day.

Two urns on Jove's high throne have ever stood, the source of evil one, and one of good; from thence the cup of mortal man he fills, blessings to these, to those distributes ills; to most he mingles both.

Experience teaches us that we do not always receive the blessings we ask for in prayer.

It certainly is the duty of every true Christian, to esteem himself a stranger and pilgrim in this world; and as bound to use earthly blessings, not as means of satisfying lust or gratifying wantonness, but of supplying his absolute wants and necessities.

Every person who will learn the right way, and who will then continue diligently to follow that right way, is absolutely certain in time to possess great riches and all attending blessings.

We believe. We believe in our destiny as a nation. We believe we have been called to do good, to spread the blessings of liberty and encourage the sense of trust upon which free societies depend.

Envy is the art of counting the other fellow's blessings instead of your own.

Instead of seeing these children for the blessings that they are, we are measuring them only by the standard of whether they will be future deficits or assets for our nation's competitive needs.

Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself, and know that everything in life has purpose. There are no mistakes, no coincidences, all events are blessings given to us to learn from.

Today we thank God for all the blessings He has bestowed upon this great Country and ask Him to continue to heal our land and meet our needs - and we do so through the power of prayer.

In reality, serendipity accounts for one percent of the blessings we receive in life, work and love. The other 99 percent is due to our efforts.

Suffer not thy wrongs to shroud thy fate, But turn, my soul, to blessings which remain.

I lay in the bed at the hospital and said, 'let's see what I have left.' And I could see, I could speak, I could think, I could read. I simply tabulated my blessings, and that gave me a start.

What if you gave someone a gift, and they neglected to thank you for it - would you be likely to give them another? Life is the same way. In order to attract more of the blessings that life has to offer, you must truly appreciate what you already have.
