Do Christians Have Their Heads in the Sand?

The reconciliation of all things. It has always been a battle between good and evil. That is since the fall of Lucifer.

God is love and the desire of God's heart is that His creation loves Him. Love is not love unless it is freely given of one's own choice.

Therefore, God created living beings with a weakness. The ability and authority to think and make decisions of their own accord and for themselves.

How many living and thinking species has God created? Most of us would immediately say one, humans. However, that is not true. Angels were created before humans and it is made clear through rebellion they were given the ability to think and choose for themselves. To speak of life on other planets or in other galaxies is taboo for most Christians. Why?

Humans strive to know more about God. Have you ever wondered how many brilliant theologians have come and gone since the world began? Yet, with all these highly learned men and women of God, most being true and faithful, searching and seeking for more knowledge of God, little unity exists among us.

How could this be? Is it arrogance, pride, the inability to understand, or is it we have our heads in the sand? Heaven forbid it would be rebellion.

Part of man's nature is stubbornness. Stubbornness is a roadblock to revelation and many strive daily to overcome it. Science is a good thing. However, many Christians bulk up and rebuke it as if it were the very essence of evil. Why?

Knowledge will increase as time passes. Those who are learning are those who have an open mind and spirit and are willing to hear, evaluate, and make decisions whether to accept things as truth or reject them as fantasy.

Humans have existed on this planet for thousands of years. Through all these years science has never proven the Word of God to be in error. Discoveries through science only validate the immutability of God's Word.

Truth is Christians rebuke findings of science not because it contradicts God's Word but because it sometimes contradicts their understanding of God's Word. It is an indisputable fact the earth is over 4.5 billion years old. Many of you just experienced a spiritual stroke when you read that. Why?

God's Word is not contradicted by that statement. If you were offended than it is because there exists a problem in your understanding of God's Word concerning the creation of earth.

None of us know when God created the earth. We know time (our timeline) on this earth begin during the 4th process of renewal of earth and the forming of the new world. Yes, Scripture calls them days of creation. Could this possibly mean the renewing of earth was done in an orderly fashion?

In the present time if we are to understand God's Word and prophecy we must understand God's plan of reconciliation which existed before time began. For example, Jesus did not come to earth to begin the Church. Jesus came to earth to minister to Israel. He knew they were about to enter into judgment on earth and He closed out week 69 of Daniel's prophecy. God's plan of reconciliation is for all creation, including Israel, or better said, especially Israel.

The prophecy of Jesus many Christians are applying to the Church and the Rapture is a misconception. Jesus' prophecy is about Israel and about what will happen during the 70th week of Daniels prophecy. The 70th week will begin after the Church is taken out.

The 69th week concluded the day Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a colt. God's work in the reconciliation of Israel halted at this time and His work in reconciling Gentiles began. Jesus, the Lamb of God, our Savior, completed all required sacrificial offerings for the redemption and salvation of the world. A new spiritual creation began upon His resurrection.

This new spiritual creation continues on earth today nearly 2000 years later. A day will come when this creation is complete and God will call us home. Our temporary home is heaven and New Jerusalem is our future eternal home.

God created man in His own image. God desires a flesh and blood man who will love Him with all his heart, soul, and mind. Adam and Eve were flesh and blood before and after their fall. Flesh and blood cannot enter the kingdom of God but a spiritual creation can. The body of Christ is that spiritual creation. Our future eternal home is New Jerusalem. God chose Israel to be the flesh and blood people and earthly kingdom He desires.

In the reconciliation there will remain a kingdom on earth. God's people Israel, tried and purged during the tribulation years and especially through the Millennium Kingdom will inhabit the earthly kingdom. Those of the eternal earthly kingdom will be as Adam and Eve were before the fall. Perfect in all their ways. Only difference will be they will be as the elect angels and spiritual kingdom is, sealed by God and no longer with a possibility of sin entering in.

Israel, in the likeness of Adam and Eve and in the image and likeness of God, will be in the eternal Garden of Eden and partaking of the tree of life.


Love to All,
Tch

  "It is an undisputable fact the earth is over 4.5 billion years old." Tch, now you know better. ..An internet search on the topic of 'creation science' should give one several sites that will indeed dispute that "theory". It will also shed light on that view you have about the 4th day, if you really want to learn, and look deep enough, there are real sharp "creation scientist" out there now, praise God. And, 4.5 billion years, is just a present theory, of secular science, at that, going by their history, that will very likely change, again, if Christ tarries.

"The 70th week will begin when the church is taken out." Scripture does not say that. One who holds to the pre-trib position, does. Others who hold to mid-trib, pre-wrath, will agree that the 70th week begins with a seven year covenant, with Israel, of the anti-christ ruler. Others do not hold to any of these mentioned, and view differently.

It is kinda slow around here. But give it time. Many will come in and things will surely pick up, concerning these topics you have mentioned. Some with, and some against. "Man's nature". Brother, that would take a while.

As you said in a blog I wrote, everything will happen just as God has planned, regardless of how we "visualize".

I just want to be prepared, watching, serving Him when He returns. Hopefully point others in the direction to Jesus Christ, without getting side-tracked. And ministering more along the lines of 'doing' as He told us to. Perilous times brother. Everything else will be solved and dealt with when He comes. He is life itself. Death is when we look or dwell somewhere else. Each breath He is the giver of. And taker as well. In His grace, God Bless brother.

  Billy . . . thank you for your comments. Your perspective is always welcome.

"The 70th week will begin when the church is taken out."


An error in my pen . . . I should have said "The 70th week will begin after the church is taken out."

Others who hold to mid-trib, pre-wrath, will agree that the 70th week begins with a seven year covenant, with Israel, of the anti-christ ruler.


This is the correct rendering. However, who knows, the seven year covenant and the catching up of the Church could be on the same day. . . with the catching up happening first. Possible but who knows. After all, it was 50 days after the resurrection of Christ when the Church began. There could be a time lapse between the catching up and the beginning of the 70th week. Point is the 70th week begins after the Church is caught up and on the signing of the 7 year covenant.

God bless brother.

  There is no debate among pre-trib, mid-trib, or pre-wrath, about the seven year agreement between the anti-christ ruler and Israel, though with others there is debate about a future seven year agreement period.

But, as to when the believers are "caught up", concerning, and in relation to that seven years, scripture does not tell us. You can give no scripture that will say at what precise moment, in relation. So, it is nothing any should be 'dogmatic' about. The 70th week will begin with the agreement. In relation to the church, 'when', 'after', 'before', is all personal perspectives, in relation to the 70th week. Scripture, alone, will not reveal when the church is 'caught up', in relation to the 70th week. Scripture does plainly tell us we will be 'saved from wrath', but it does not tell us we will be saved from this tribulation. God Bless you too brother. Maranatha.

  Hi Billy . . .

BillyB:
So, it is nothing any should be 'dogmatic' about.

I agree with you completely. Here and everywhere in Scripture where the Word is not specific and leaves room for various interpretation.

My interpretation of what I have said in this article is in harmony with my understanding of the volume of the Book.

Thanks Brother Billy,
Tch

  Referring specifically to your 4th paragraph, it would not shake my faith in the least if intelligent life was discovered somewhere in the universe. "Why?" is exactly correct. There could certainly be others that God created, maybe even with different expectations. But, I believe, God is still the creator of everything and everyone, no matter where in the universe. - bibleguy64

  Amen Bibleguy . . . We are in total agreement in all you said.
But, I believe, God is still the creator of everything and everyone, no matter where in the universe.


Praise the Lord . . . yes He is . . . The creator of all things which are created . . . and all things belong to Him.

Thank you much for your response. You are a real blessing. May God Bless you richly brother, as I know He will.

InJesus,
Tch

  Tchable,

A thought provoking blog and thank you for your openness of mind. So maybe you will be interested in how I know God's kingdom, the New Jerusalem, has been here on earth with men for close to 2000 years now. I consider myself in that holy city of God right now.

Also I see that the prophecies about Christ coming to save the nation of Israel has already been accomplished. Christ did that at the time of the first church times. Are you open to that? The multitudes aren't - they have been fooled by the devil's deceptions.

Also, I understand that we are actually at a POST millennium time, where the devil has been let loose to deceive the nations. That is why it is so hard to find the real truth anymore. The multitude has taken in the devil's lies because of what they have wanted to believe. This includes the deceptions about Israel.

I know this catches you in disagreement, but are you open to any of this?

By the way, on the subject of creation, did you know that the things that happened in the Garden of Eden were actually in the 6th day of creation? God created man, both male and female on the 6th day of creation. We find that Eve was not created until after Adam was placed in the Garden of Eden, named all the animals, and God didn't find a suitable companion for Adam, so God created Eve while they were in the Garden of Eden. So the things that happened in the Garden of Eden had to be contained within the 6th day of God's creation.

Does Tchable stand for teachable?

Blessings,
Mike

  Mike . . . thank you for your comments. I've looked into your doctrine over the years and I'm aware of what it is you believe. No need for me to go there again. I'm not here for debate. Only to share what I believe and trust Holy Spirit will open eyes where it is needed.

Most of my time on this site is in reading other brother and sister's posts. Remaining open to receiving revelation is important to me. And yes, my nickname does mean "teachable". It also means, through the anointing of Holy Spirit, I'm able to teach.

May God bless you and your family richly. I'm look forward to reading your posts as well as your comments.

Blessings,
Tch

  I agree with you on many of the points you were making. For example my perspective has always been on how people count up the years the bible gives us to find out the age of the earth. I believe God tells us what we need to know explicitly with his word. If God wanted us to know the exact age of the earth it would say so in the bible he wouldn't leave it up to us to count it out. To me its mute point. I think the rapture applies to us or possibly or to a future generation however. Thank you for your blog God bless.

  I appreciate your reading and responding to my blog. You said:

Probably the most percise statement which has been made thus far. I completely agree with you here. Thank you for the insight.

Blessings,
Tch
