Scripture says "in His Name, the Gentiles will trust" - what will 'Evolutionist Gentiles' trust in Jesus?

Jesus said "Behold I send you out as sheep among wolves" - He wouldn't say that, if wolves were eventually going to become sheep (because He said His word will never pass away).

The most dangerous wolves are the ones claiming to be Christian pastors and teachers who come in Jesus Name deceiving many as Jesus warned about in Mathew 24

At least we know people out in the world aren't claiming to be Christians leading people in to false teachings

Those that don't know God's Word are primed for deception.

There is a major oversight in the theory of Evolution: you don't merely need pressure to adapt, you can tease adaptation apart from a number of alternatives.

If there is a little adaptation here and a little adaptation there and they are related, discerning that adaptation that links both of them, can help you flourish (survive).

When Evolutionists say "mutations" add the necessary pressure, they are assuming pressure not teasing is the relevant principle.

There is an interesting dynamic when dealing with Evolutionists: at times I hate them and at times I love them. I never seem to make so much progress that it is only one way and not the other. Now, I don't know if this points to something spiritual, but in the Lord, you would expect the Lord to win (to have Evolutionists trust Him).

What power it is that Evolutionists think they need, I don't know - but save them from the hatred of the Church!

There is a sense in which different species can share similar adaptations. That affinity is empowering. The idea that species can morph into one another, is against this empowering (it is therefore against survival).

I am angry, actually. God never makess a leap of faith, based on appearances. Neither does He expect us to. How then can we conclude that monkeys being mammals (or whatever the argument is) means that we got our appearance from them?

It has come to my attention, that there is confusion about what God wants us to change.

No matter how we change, God has to want to abide in us, despite the change (selah).

When we do change, we have to repeat what we know, in order to vary it - so in essence, who we are can never ultimately leave us.

For some reason, Evolution has the effect of causing people to let go of questioning what their relationship is to God - that's how it appears, anyway! Like if I said "I don't think God would like, this particular change", people would look at me as if I was crazy (when they say crazy things about the past!)

Humanely speaking, I have come to understand that:

Anon said:
The more you trust going back in the History of Mankind, the more you are able to reach forward to Mankind's Future (selah)

In other words, believing that Man came from monkeys, hurts your ability to be more of a Man in future.

That's not wrong, if you think you are Man enough; but neither is that humble.

I feel like I should say, God sort of told me "modelling your response to Evolution, on the basis of the Holy Spirit (sin/righteousness/judgment) is a good thing".

When it comes to mutation (which we read 'sin'), being ready to move the mutation to elimination is a good thing.
When it comes to choice as to how to evolve (which we read' righteousness'), being sensible about what choice we have is righteous and holy.
When it comes to what we share about the future of our evolution (which we read 'judgment'), sharing the word that will come next is fitting and edifying and strengthening.

So it is not the case that becoming an Evolutionist means forgetting the conviction or instruction of the Holy Spirit is 'inevitable', but rather it needs to be put in scientific terms. People can't claim ignorance, because the 'register' of their beliefs have shifted to science. The Devil is no less interested in destroying men, because they have taken an anti-God creed or deny His Power. I guess what I am saying, is that we need to be vigilant and that the Lord is with us, in being against man becoming more and more ungodly.

Take it how you will.

Something constructive about adaptation: I believe there are things in the body that help adaptation along (and that it is these things - not mutations - that do much of the work of adaptation), and I believe there are things in the body, that help adaptation get back to where it was, when it was in strength (before mutations came along). There really is no need to suggest that the body needs pressure to adapt (from mutations, for example).

The picture I am giving here, is of adaptations growing and being shaped, in a way that serves design (or the image of it).
