31/10/2010 : six literal days creation

Genesis 1

The only correct creation theory is six literal days creation. Other explanations are all compromises towards the modern science.

Trying to fit the bible into the modern science is dangerous as it is undermining the authority of the scriptures.

We should let God tell us what it is like, we do not tell God what it is like.

29/10/2010: grace through Jews

Romans 11

HARDEST SCRIPTURE EVER!

God did not reject the whole Jew race.

Gentiles get the grace because Jews rejected the gospel. So the gospel come from Jews, if Jews has accepted God's gospel at the first place, we would not have the chance to be saved.

'but God's kindness to you, provided you continue in his kindness. Otherwise you too will be cut off. And even they, if they do not continue in the disbelief, will be grafted them in again.' is not talking about the gentile Christians who has already got the grace will lose it if he loses his faith. But talking about the Jew race and gentiles rather than persons. The grace comes to gentiles because the Jew's disbelief, if gentiles do not believe too, God will remove his grace just like how he removed the grace to Jews.

The way how the grace works on Jews and gentiles are beyond human's understanding. Proving God's wisdom and intelligence is not reachable by human.

Devotion 28/10/2010: Election and reprobation

Romans 9

• God elects some people to show his perfect gracious mercy while he judges the rest to show his perfect righteousness.
• God owns nobody mercy since every person has sinned.
• Election is known by its fruits: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.(Galatians 5:22,23)
• God does not reprobate people by putting evil in their hearts. He just abandon them and let their sin continue to rule them.
• Which persons are elect and which are reprobate will not be revealed before the judgement. Until that time, God's command is that the call to repent and believe be preached to everyone.
