REJECTION OF RESURRECTION

REJECTION OF RESURRECTION

Friday, April 25, 2014

1Corinthians [MKJV] 15:1-4 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

In the beginning God created … [Jesus] In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. (Genesis chapters 1 thru 3; Colossians 1:14-18)

  Today’s thoughts may be drastically new to some (or many?) of you. They may be difficult to wrap your mind around as they are contrary to viewpoint taught and accepted in some Christian circles  . . . and when digested will perhaps require serious contrition unto renewal. (Rom.12:1-3)

  Evolutionists resolutely or ignorantly deny the need for Christ’ death, burial, and resurrection; this group includes Christians holding Darwinian et al belief opposed to the Genesis record; whether big bang, slipping out of slime, monkey to man, or theistic evolution in some form (God laid an egg and stepped back to be surprised, delighted and discouraged, by what hatched.).

  How so?

  Genesis 2:17, Romans 5:12, and 1Corinthians 15:21a make it very plain that death came after Adam, as result of his sin, not previous to Adam. Evolution as doctrine includes life-death-life cycle prior to Adam’s original sin and its consequence, death; mortality and decease were nonexistent beforehand.

  Jesus death, burial, and resurrection are the sole efficacious remedy for and from death, both spiritual and physical. (1Thes.4:16-17; Rev.1:5)

  Unawares, evolution professing Christians may consider themselves intellectually astute, but in practice erroneously doctrinally redefining and undermining the necessity for and fact of Christ’ resurrection victory over physical death as well as spiritual.

  Where this leaves the preacher and teacher that corrupts Truth is obvious. (James 3:1)

  And what of those sitting at their feet eating leavened bread? (Gal.5:9)

  If yours, get rid of misbegotten religious loaf! Then you will realize the true freshness of Christ’ redemptive quickening (Eph.2:5; 1Pet.3:18); for when trusting The Word (Jn.1:1) we are redeemed; alive!

  Christ is Redeemer sacrificed for our sin. Do not sinfully eat or serve corrupted bread that destroys. Be pure and truthful and celebrate by partaking of only the unadulterated Bread of Life! (Jn.6:51; 1Cor.5:7-8)

  Simply put: If we can’t believe what Genesis says about creation (life), then how can we believe what it says about resurrection (life)? EBB4 (originally written April 5, 2010)
