As the Memory Text indicates, we are looking at the present truth regarding "the everlasting gospel":

Memory Text:
“Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth — to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people” (Revelation 14:6, NKJV).

What is "the everlasting gospel"?

since Christ, as High Priest, made such sacrifice through his death, and did so once for all, it is obvious that "Calvary" was the Great Day of Atonement.

Mark 15:37-38 says, "[When] Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and breathed His last ... the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom." As Mat. 27:50-51 also says, "And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit. Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom ..."

Why then do so many people interpret Genesis through the lens of a theory that, at its most basic level, contradicts Genesis at its most basic level? Indeed, not only has the error of evolution swept millions of secular people, but many professed Christians believe that they can harmonize it with their Christian faith, despite the blatant contradictions just mentioned.

"Teilhard dreamed of humanity merging into ‘God’ and each realizing his own godhood at the Omega point. This belief has inspired many of today’s New Age leaders.
Teilhard said this:

"It is a law of the universe that in all things there is prior existence. Before every form there is a prior, but lesser evolved form. Each one of us is evolving towards the God-head."

"As we know, the belief that the human individual cannot perfect himself or fully exist except through the organic unification of all men in God is essential and fundamental to Christian doctrine."
Catholic theologian Malachi Martin (1921-1999) describes Teilhard de Chardin's theology in his book "The Jesuits":
"Once complete unity has been achieved, Christ—who will be the Omega Point—will appear; man will then be more than man, will be what Teilhard called Ultra-Human, the cosmos will be transformed; and the glory of it all will be established."


Based on the prominence of New Age doctrine in Teilhard’s writings, it’s no surprise that a survey of New Agers showed that the leading influence of their "spiritual awakening" was Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. (Walter Veith in Rekindling the Reformation)

How can you take comfort in the promise that all the injustice and iniquity that seem to go unpunished now will one day face final retribution by God?

Wednesday's lesson -- Deceptions

Sabbath and the Theory of Evolution

The Sabbath of Genesis and the forth commandment holds the believer to a six day creation, in which mankind is created perfect and is called to worship His Creator on every seventh day in remembrance of his Creator.

Evolution makes this cycle completely irrelevant as memorial of creation -- for it does not believe in a six day creation.



This deception has crept even into the Adventist church, though not officially, yet academically in our schools of higher education.

In many ways theistic evolution is far more deceptive than agnostic evolution. With the later we know their theory is based on a creation without God, yet the theistic evolution presents itself as believing in the creative poser of God, but it totally departs from the very basics of scripture.

1. What is the origin of sin?
Scripture teaches sin began when perfect beings, created in the image of God, distrusted the Word of God, and believed the voice of the deceiver that God was unjust, acted contrary to God's warning command and did exactly what they thought would elevate them to higher levels of existence.

The deceptive voice said:
Gen 3:5 "the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods,'

God's warning:
2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

Thus death, violence and evil entered the world, when they trusted the deceiver and unleashed his power in the world.

THE THEISITIC EVOLUTIONIST
has no real answer to the origin of sin. In this theory, God used cycles of death, violence, and survival of the fittest to create! Mankind was not created perfect, he did not "fall", He was first a creature(an animal} without moral conscience that acted like any animal with instincts only for survival. Sin is an illusive concept attached to an awakening "moral conscience" in the advancing process of evolution.

Redemption, thus is no longer seen as a need for a Savior, but simply a need for a power to move mankind to a higher level in his evolutionary development.
Christ's death becomes only a catalyst in that process that pushes the human race into the next level of their evolutionary development.

The evolutionist is looking forward to mankind taking the next quantum leap into a higher level-- to become "more than human".

If one really goes deeper into their reasoning one ends up finding themselves on the "new age" track -- first brought into Christianity by the Jesuit Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. He came up with the idea of the Omega Point (a maximum level of complexity and consciousness towards which he believed the universe is evolving)


In other words -- if we follow the theistic evolution we will find it leads back to the deceivers first lie --
you shall be as gods.

It is the worship of the creature, that is evolving into godhood, it is not the worship of the CREATOR, Redeemer, Savior, sanctifier and judge of scripture.

Dedication - I don't know why you moved my last comment, but I will post it again as it directly addresses your post - theistic evolution, and Pierre Teilhard de Chardin all fit the emergent church paradigm. See https://youtu.be/f6U-HFztQkE

OK, I see the connection now. The video seemed to be a continuation of the one posted in the OP of the "emergent Church" thread and I thought it ended up here by mistake. Now I see it fits in both places. Very interesting videos.
