		<description><![CDATA[I think before we blame I don&#039;t know who we have to ask, &quot;Who is this man and why is he trying to destroy the faith of many in the living God, whom many know personally? &quot;
Satan will use anyone to make people believe that there is no God. Lord help us all!!!!!!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The impossibility of there not being a God is underscored by the absolutely massive, incomprehensible information found from coded DNA molecules in all life forms on this earth. There absolutely has to be a God. There is absolutely no other explanation. Consider this: there is enough coded DNA molecules in the human genome to fill 10,000 sets of Encyclopedia Britanica. These sets of DNA have to be precisely placed in exact sequence for human life to exist without birth defects or a miscarriage. But then consider this: There are 2,000,000 known species in this world, and there are possibly 8 to 50 estimated total species of different life forms on this earth. Each of these DNA sequences, from every living creature, must also be precisely placed and coded for any of these species to exist. 

Then consider this: In the living human cell, there is DNA in the nucleus of each cell, but also, independently of this, there are other places in the human cell, the mitochondria for example, that have their own independent DNA with their own independent sequences that have to be exact for the human cell to function at all. In all the research science had done so far on human cells, they still do not know fully all aspects of life in this one cell alone. By the laws of solubility in water, the ocean contains all elements found in a finely made Swiss watch. It would be easier to see Swiss watches washing up on the ocean beaches around the world, that these elements would some how be formed and become a watch, merely by chance. The code we look for in outer space for sequenced radio waves from a high intelligence out there is looking in the wrong direction to find living intelligence. 

What science is doing is redefining the magnificent power, beauty, intelligence, creative artistry, holiness, indescribable, incomprehensible wonder of the God that absolutely exists out there, and we have the chance to commune with Him, starting with a humble plea, because God is indeed interested in us finding Him or he would not have given us the brain to find Him. 

My advice to any one doubting the existence of God is to humbly speak out loud to the One who knows, and ask for Him to reveal Himself to you personally, and then this verse comes in to play: John 6:37, Jesus Christ speaks, &quot;All that the Father gives to me will come to me, and any one that comes to me, I will in no wise cast away&quot;. There is your challenge, cry out for mercy and ask God to show himself to you. Like me, you will not be disappointed, even if you must die to find out. A safer way to avoid death first is to find this out by assuming as in mathematics, two points can define a line. With God, it is: Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and through Him, I can find the wonderful God that made me smart enough to seek Him. Fish have gills and fins to swim, birds have wings to fly, we have a mind to seek Him. This is the ultimate task for those of us that are wise enough to ponder: use the mind God made for us to seek him. It is the human thing do do. Pastor Russ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[That&#039;s why the whole protestant system is flawed and is an abomination in itself. It is a heresy of true Christianity, as broadly defined as Catholic or Eastern or Oriental Orthodox, or the few Protestant denominations that are high church or liturgical, and retain its connections to Apostolic Succession. 

Christianity has been destroyed by the Protestant Reformation, the worst heresy of them all.  The Catholic and Eastern and Oriental Orthodox churches can trace their lineage back to the time of Christ. Now I will not debate matters of Conciliarism, whether authority lies ultimately in council decisions or by the Pope, but I think it is clear from a study of history that the Pope did yield a level of authority in the early Christian church, the question of debate is how much authority and how it should be dealt with. First among equals or infallibility. Christianity is supposed to be unified and under an ecclesial heirarchy, not any pastor determining the truth according to how he sees fit.  

Protestant Personal Interpretation leads to Atheism and all kinds of deviant versions of Christianity all claiming to be the truth. After all, what authority do you have to say that your version of Christianity is biblically correct and mine is not, I have the inspiration of the Holy Spirit as same as you have.  If Christ did not establish a Church, he is foolish and this is what would have happened (as it did happen, they were called heresies) in the beginning of the Church if it were not accepted that the Catholic Church (orthodox and catholic at the time) has Christ given authority and the protection of the Holy Spirit to lead people into the way Christ wanted us to believe and worship him.

Better protestant then atheist any day, but the Division of Christianity has made it difficult for those who seek truth.]]></description>
