It is so hot in Mississippi I have been forced to stay inside. Thus, I have been watching more than my share of television to avoid boredom. I like to watch documentaries primarily and have discovered first- hand how evolution is being pushed by folks around the country.
I honestly do not know how anyone could believe that we descended from monkeys, though I do know some people that remind me of them. It seems that there are more non-believers than believers in Christ these days.This is not surprising because the Bible tells us that broad is the way into hell and many will take that easy path.
The Bible explicitly states that only a “fool” refuses to put their faith in God. Fool can be defined as a person who acts unwisely or imprudently; But God takes it a step further stating: Psalms 2:4 God laughs at the wicked and their plans, for he knows their day is coming! and again in Psalms 37:13 and 59:8. Ahhh . . . but what’s the use. These folks don’t read the Bible anyway, so I suppose it is up to us to gently try to put them on the right path using another tactic.
I’ve had these discussions often on a plane as I flew city to city during my career. I cannot remember a single incident where someone was converted by my earnest efforts to dispel the theory of evolution. I’ve found the best approach was to simply ask them what they thought would happen to them if our plane crashed and they died. Upon observiing their reaction I honestly do not think that anyone had ever asked them such a question. Many seem too think they can get into heaven without Jesus by their side telling the Father that He paid the price for their sins and took their punishment. Most seem to think that if there is such a thing as God they have no worries because they are basically “good people”.
Unfortunately that avenue is refuted by the Bible and perhaps the most famous of verses enforces that there is but one way to enter heaven and that is through the narrow gate of Jesus. He alone can forgive sin. I pray that the people I have witnessed to will change their belief system and do so in short order, because time is surely running out.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son so that anyone who believes in Him shall not die but have everlastig life.
