      (also John, testifying that the writings in his book are accurate. Similar to Luke 1:1-4 above)

      Gal 1:11-12

      11)I want you to know, brothers, that the gospel I preached is not something that man made up.

      12)I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.

      (Paul, the “13th apostle” because he was chosen after Christ’s death and resurrection, is the writer here)

      1Ths 2:13

      13)And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is at work in you who believe.

      Isa 55:10-11

      10)As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,

      11)so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.

      1Cor 4:6

      6)Now, brothers, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us the meaning of the saying, “Do not go beyond what is written.” Then you will not take pride in one man over against another.

      (many voices and opinions are going forth in today’s world of computers, news and entertainment media. The apostle Paul reminds us to compare what is seen, heard, and read to the Scriptures in order to discern real truth)

      Heb 4:12-13

      12)For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

      13)Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

      2Tim 2:15

      15)Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.

      John 8:32

      32)“Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

      1Cor 1:18

      18)For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

      1Pet 1:24-25

      24)For, “All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall,

      25)but the word of the Lord stands forever.” And this is the word that was preached to you.

      Evidence God exists

      Psa 19:1-4

      1)The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

      2)Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge.

      3)There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard.

      4)Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens he has pitched a tent for the sun,

      Psa 8:3-4

      3)When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,

      4)what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?

      Act 14:16-17

      16)In the past, he let all nations go their own way.

      17)Yet he has not left himself without testimony: He has shown kindness by giving you rain from heaven and crops in their seasons; he provides you with plenty of food and fills your hearts with joy.”

      Rom 1:18-21

      18)The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness,

      19)since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.

      20)For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature— have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.

      21)For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.

      Eccl 11:5

      5)As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things.

      Psa 139:13-14

      13)For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.

      14)I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

      (just reflect on the inner intricacy of the human body. Then imagine yourself or anyone else attempting to create a “living, breathing” human being, not a metal-and-wires robot, plus millions of other animals, fish, birds, and insects. Then add in outdoor nature such as trees, flowers, grass, fruits and vegetables, which also have life in them and are not man-made from plastic.

      If Mankind is known to have the highest intelligence on earth, yet we cannot create anything with life-giving blood or sap flowing through it, can the thousands upon thousands of species truly have evolved from microscopic amoebas simply by chance?

      Without a higher-power Creator, common sense makes the question seem foolish to even ask. The amoebas would have had to be smarter than humans to end up as all the “alive” species on earth which do contain life-giving blood or sap in them. And if they are smarter, from where did amoebas originate? Quite a guessing game, or perhaps imagination) see entries below.

      Psa 104:24

      24)How many are your works, O LORD! In wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.

      Col 1:16

      16)For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers СКАЧАТЬ
