Love in Hosea

Appears 16 Times
Hosea warns Israel
Hosea 2:5 For their mother hath played the harlot: she that conceived them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink.
Hosea 2:7And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now.
Hosea 2:10 And now will I discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of mine hand.
Hosea 2:12-13And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, whereof she hath said, These are my rewards that my lovers have given me: and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them. And I will visit upon her the days of Baalim, wherein she burned incense to them, and she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers, and forgat me, saith the LORD.
Instructions to Hosea
Hosea 3:1 Then said the LORD unto me, Go yet, love a woman beloved of her friend, yet an adulteress, according to the love of the LORD toward the children of Israel, who look to other gods, and love flagons of wine.

Creation vs Evolution

Isn’t Creation just a religious belief?

I. What is Evolution?
A gradual emergence of present life kinds over aeons of time, with emergence of complex and diversified kinds of life from simpler kinds and ultimately from nonliving matter, all through natural processes.

II. What is Creationism?
Creationism says that all basic animal and plant types (the created kinds) were brought into existence by acts of a supernatural Creator using special processes which are not in operation today.

III. What is Science?
Science comes form the Latin word scire meaning to know. Science has to do with investigation and substantiation.

The basic steps in the scientific method are:

Stating or defining the problem.
Gathering information on the problem.
Forming a hypothesis (or trial answer).
Performing experiments to test the hypothesis.
Recording and analyzing data.
Stating a conclusion.
Repeating the work.
(The Nature of Science – Prentice Hall – 1993)

SCIENCE must be observed, tested, and reproduced in the laboratory, or else it is not true science.

IV. Science has to do with the present.
We can only observe what exists right now. No living scientist was alive to see evolution taking place in the past, no have they observed it taking place today. They can BELIEVE that it did, but they cannot prove it. It takes an act of faith.

We cannot prove that divine Creation took place. We weren’t there. There was someone else there however, and He gave us a written record of how it happened. But we cannot prove it. It takes an act of faith.

V. Is evolution science?
Can evolution be observed? “Evolution, at least in the sense that Darwin speaks of it, cannot be detected within the life time of a single observer.” (nor in the life time of many observers).
… David B. Kitts, Ph.D., University of Oklahoma “Paleontology and evolutionary theory”. Evolution, vol. 28, Sep 1994, p. 466

Can evolution be tested in the laboratory?
“It is easy enough to make up stories of how one gave rise to another, and to find reasons why the stages should be favored by natural selection. But such stories are not part of science, for there is no way of putting them to the test.”
… Personal letter (written 4-10-79) from Dr. Colin Patterson, British Museum of Natural History, to Luther D. Sunderland

Does evidence support Evolution?
a. “I know that, at least in paleoanthropology, data are still so sparse that theory heavily influences interpretations. Theories have, in the past, clearly reflected out current ideologies instead of the actual data.”
… Dr. David Pilbeam (Anthropologist, Yale), “Rearranging our family tree”. Human Nature, June 1978, p.45
b. “Facts do not speak for themselves”; they are read in the light of theory. Creative thought, in science as much as in the arts, is the motor of changing opinion. Science is a quintessentially human activity, not a mechanized, robot-like accumulation of objective information, leading by laws of logic to inescapable interpretation.”
… Stephen J Gould (Professor of Geology and Paleontology, Harvard University), ‘The validation of continental drift’ in his book “EVER SINCE DARWIN” Burnett Books, 1978 pp.161-162

VI. Is Evolution Religious?

“In fact, evolution became in a sense a scientific religion; almost all scientists have accepted it and many are prepared to bend their observation to fit in with it.”
… H.S. Lipson, FRS (Professor of Physics, University of Manchester, UK), ‘A physicist looks at evolution’. Physics Bulletin, vol. 31, 1980, p. 136

“The fact of evolution is the backbone of biology, and biology is thus in the peculiar position of being a science founded on an unproved theory – is it then a science or a faith? Belief in the theory of evolution is thus exactly parallel to belief in special creation – both are concepts which believers know to be true but neither, up the present, has been capable of proof.”
… L. Harrison Matthews, FRS, Introduction to Darwin’s The Origin of Species, J.M.Dent & Sons Ltd, London, 1971, p.xi

“One must conclude that, contrary to the established and current wisdom a scenario describing the genesis of life on earth by chance and natural causes which can be accepted on the basis of fact and not faith has not yet been written.”
… Hubert P. Yockey (Army Pulse Radiation Facility, Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, USA), ‘A calculation of the probability of spontaneous biogenesis by information theory’. Journal of Theoretical Biology, vol. 67, 1977, p. 396

Fossils exist in the present. However, they do not come with dates stamped on them to tell us how old they are. Evolution is a belief system about the past based on the words of men who were not there, but are trying to explain the existence of the world we live in, without the existence of God or any divine acts of His part.

VII. But is Special Creation Scientific?
Creation is, of course, unproven and unprovable by scientific method. Creation therefore, as evolution, can only serve as a hypothesis, or, trial answer as to how and why life came into existence. Creation, therefore, would be no more religious and less scientific than evolution. However, to many well informed scientists, the creation model seems to be far superior to the evolution model as an explanation for origins.

Are there Sins not …

Are there Sins not covered in the 10 commandments?
1-Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
2-Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
3-Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
4-Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
5-Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
6-Thou shalt not kill.
7-Thou shalt not commit adultery.
8-Thou shalt not steal.
9-Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
10-Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s.
Yes—there are sins not explicitly named in the Ten Commandments.
The Ten Commandments are a short list of core obligations (mainly about worshiping God and basic duties toward others). Most other sins—like anger, cruelty, deceit, gluttony, envy, and many forms of unfaithfulness—aren’t singled out as separate commandments there, though many are addressed elsewhere in the Bible (and the Ten Commandments function more like principles that imply broader moral boundaries).
The Apostle Paul WARNS Believers of these:
Galatians 5:19-21 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Ephesians 4:31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
Ephesians 4:26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
Ephesians 4:31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
Colossians 3:8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
Colossians 3:21 Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

The Word

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Just reading John 1:1, one must conclude The Word is a living Spirit being.
John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

The Apostle John does not leave to question just Who The Word is:
It has to be the Lord Jesus Christ.

Did the Apostle Paul mean the words of God, or was he referring to THE WORD, Christ Jesus?
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Either way, THE WORD will Judge us!

Romans 14:11-12 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

And it’s the LORD JESUS to whom everyone will bow!

Philippians 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

Love in Ezekiel

Appears 11 Times
God’s word to Israel
Ezekiel 16:8Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord GOD, and thou becamest mine.

Ezekiel 33:31-32 And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness. And, lo, thou art unto them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear thy words, but they do them not.
