Science, creation, and truth. We need to reason together, and come to a sound conclusion. I would like to have a discussion about why creation is the truth, while evolution is a lie that must be stopped. As I said in another post, it is a poison and our youth is its victim. Please, let us have a rational debate, and come to a truthful resolution... While I have studied evo vs creation for nearly 10 years, I am by no means an expert in all fields. With that being said, I do know a thing or two about what is going on. I am neither right wing, nor left wing, and I most certainly am not politically correct. I am not racist, and I have no agenda. (Creationists like myself are now called racist because we do not agree with evolutionists, and other...(just type into your browser, 'are creationists racist'?)) I simply see with my eyes, smell with my nose, hear with my ears, taste with my mouth, and feel with my hands. Anything said to me beyond this is your opinion, and one that should be kept to yourself. This is for anyone who wants to know more about evo vs creation.

When you hear the word, "gospel", what do you think about? When I was about 15, I heard the word and didnt understand. First off, my family was Jehovah Witness, and we didnt celebrate anything. So later in life, I heard the words spoken by a "Mormon" and tried to grasp the meaning. For the Mormons, the gospel is their belief system. Since I know that there is nothing true about said religion, one must ignore their meaning, and dive headlong into scripture. So as a young Witness, what did I learn? Nothing much. And that was the sad thing. Yes, I went to school, and didnt have enough credits to graduate, but a few years later, I did get my GED...while I was in prison. Funny, I know, but that is where I received most of my education. How old was I? 24 when I went in, and 10 years later, here I am. But when I turned 29, I started to figure things out. I was not really doing much study until my 4th year in prison, and when I did pick up a book, I was happy. I was learning. Learning about things I never would have. Then, one day, I woke up and said to myself, "I really want to know what that bible is about." That was a few months after I saw the parole board. They had let me out after 3.5 years, and since I didnt agree with my 10 year sentence, I decided to run. But later my brother convinced me to turn myself in, so I did. I was given a one way ticket back to prison to finish my 6.5 years. And to this day, I am grateful. If he would not have asked me to, I would have never come to the understanding that I have now. And that is what I am talking about. This understanding is what the gospel REALLY is. We need to have a PERFECT understanding of it to be "in" Yashua. The death, burial, and resurrection, IS the gospel. That is what was hidden from past generations. Those who came before, didnt have a full understanding of what would take place. They were looking through a dark mirror. But for us, on this side of history, the mirror is clear. How earth shattering, and how important the gospel is. If it werent for the death, burial, and resurrection, we would be without hope. Why is baptism so important? Because it is the gospel. Death, burial, and resurrection. When we are baptized, we die to the old man, and are resurrected into the new man. It is not an outward expression of an inward devotion. Because it is not about show and tell. It is about do and die. The gospel is not only about telling others, but living by example. We MUST be born again. Being born again, is physically living the gospel. And the gospel is death, burial, and resurrection. This is the truth Yashua gave to Nicodemus.

There is SO MUCH proof in the OT that saying things were not fulfilled, is like saying the titanic didnt sink. Let us reason together, and come to a logical conclusion. It is obvious that Yashua, (Jesus) was the embodiment of the OT. In the flesh. But what I am saying is that every law, every thing that was in the OT not only points to Yashua, but was about the messiah. Here is the proof. The first day of the first month, the glory filled the tabernacle after Moses finished building it. 2000 years later, on the same day, first day of the first month, Yashua was baptized, and he was filled with the spirit of the Almighty. Then, he went into the wilderness for 40 days, until he revealed himself. The day he started his ministry, was the 14th day of the second month. That was the same day the manna started in the OT. Then there is the thing about the Amalekites. That was to show that there was going to be "war with the fleshly man/carnal man", from generation to generation. Before this, the baptism, which is the death, burial, and resurrection. That is what baptism is, showing that we have died to the old man, and were buried with Yashua, and rose with him into his resurrection. A new man. The awesome thing that YAH did, was give us a timeline for EVERYTHING the messiah would do. From the time he was baptized, until the time Titus came to destroy the city, and burn the temple. Exodus 12 is the passover. Chapter 13, is the death, 14 is the burial, and 15 is the resurrection. 16 is Miriam, (Mary) praising the death of the rider and his horse. This same thing happened thousands of years later when Mary rejoiced. Remember this when you read revelation next time... Then you read all the way to Joshua when he takes over Jericho, and there you see Titus entering the picture exactly 40 years after the passover. The EXACT same thing happened in Egypt to Joshua entering Jericho. EVERYTHING, including the 1000 years was fulfilled...the proof of the 1000 years is right after Joshua died, and read what happens for the next thousand years with Israel in the OT. Then read history to see what happened in church history, for the first thousand years...It is AMAZING!

The reason most people are preterists makes me wonder if they simply follow the rest without evidence. There is proof for everything being completed IN Yashua, (Jesus). The proof is in the fact that he rose from the dead. Death no longer has a hold on man, so long as he gets rid of the old man. The term "preterism" is used in the same way as "christian" is now. I prefer to be called a completed believer. Where is the proof beyond the new testament scriptures most preterists use? Lets go to the OT. The proof that Yashua fulfilled EVERYTHING is in the OT. The proof IS Moses. Since he was the one to say that a prophet like him would rise up and save the people from their sins, from among the tribes, is a good starting point. But what from there? We go next to see what Moses did, and what he didnt do. We need to start in Exodus. With chapter 12, and go on to the point where Joshua entered the land of Canaan, we see exactly what is to happen in the time of Yashua, all the way to when Titus enters the land of Israel. Exactly 40 years pass. And even the events that take place from Exodus 12 to Joshua 1 and beyond, are FULFILLED in the time of the passover of Yashua, until Titus.
