The conclusion is that evolution has limitations while the Bible accurately describes God as the creator.
The document provides prayers and scripture readings from a session at the Omaha Presbyterian School for Pastors in Hastings, 2012. It focuses on the biblical story of Jonah, who was commanded by God to preach to Nineveh but instead fled by ship. Jonah is swallowed by a large fish and repents. He reluctantly preaches to Nineveh, which repents, much to Jonah's dismay. The document examines themes of God's omnipresence, mercy, and salvation for all people.
God tells Jonah to preach to the people of Nineveh about impending judgment. However, Jonah does not want to warn his enemies and instead runs away. After being in the belly of a large fish, Jonah obeys and preaches in Nineveh. The people repent at his message. Later, God uses the example of a plant to teach Jonah that he should care for people, not just himself, and that God cares for all people, even Jonah's enemies.
Jonah prayed to God from inside the belly of the great fish that had swallowed him. In his prayer, Jonah thanked God for delivering him from drowning in the sea and expressed his faith that God would fully rescue him. Jonah referred to God as "his God", indicating he still maintained his covenant relationship with God despite disobeying him. The prayer shows Jonah was in great mental anguish as his faith struggled against his fears, but he remained convinced that God would show mercy if he cried out for help. Scholars debate whether similarities between Jonah's prayer and passages in Psalms indicate the prayer incorporated parts of the psalms or simply reflected Jonah's knowledge of scripture, but in either case it

It discusses how Abraham had to leave his father's house, representing security and permanence, and become a sojourner in response to God, signifying a willingness to change. It notes that resistance to change is the church's biggest problem. 3. It emphasizes the importance of being hungry and thirsty for God and digging deep into his word, rather than
The document summarizes the biblical story of Jonah and the whale. It describes how God calls Jonah to prophesy against Nineveh, but Jonah disobeys and boards a ship heading in the opposite direction. A storm arises and the crew discovers Jonah is the cause, throwing him overboard. Jonah is swallowed by a large fish and after three days is vomited onto land. God again calls Jonah to Nineveh, where his warning of destruction leads the city to repent. However, when God decides to spare Nineveh, Jonah becomes angry that his prophecy did not come to pass.

It then describes a sequence of events including the rise of the Antichrist, great tribulation, seven seals and seven trumpets, the mark of the beast, Armageddon, the second coming of Christ, the millennial kingdom, Satan's final defeat, and the final judgment. The document uses many direct quotes and references from biblical passages in Revelation, Daniel, Matthew and other books to support its depiction of end times events and exhorts readers to accept Jesus Christ for salvation and eternal life.
The document provides an analysis of the Book of Jonah structured as a chiasm. It highlights how the chiasm draws attention to the central theme of God's saving mercy in the face of Jonah's disobedience. Specifically, it contrasts Jonah's indifference with the pagan sailors' compassion for Jonah. It also analyzes Jonah 1:3-16, noting Jonah's downward movement representing his spiritual state, and how the passage illustrates the key theme of fear through the different responses of Jonah and the sailors.
The document discusses the concept of pilgrimage and journeying as metaphors for the Christian life. It provides many quotes from scripture and other sources that discuss themes of pilgrimage, walking with God, fixing our eyes on Jesus, stripping away weights that slow us down, and running the race of faith with endurance. The overarching message is that the Christian life involves a spiritual journey and maintaining focus on God despite difficulties.

Paul’s address to the philosophers in Athens provides us with a very basic, instructive lesson in understanding God. Paul makes it clear that God is the Almighty God, Our Father, and Judge. God expects all men to repent.
1. The doctrine of original sin proposes that all humans are guilty before God because of Adam's sin and inherit a sinful nature from birth that makes it impossible to obey God fully.
2. The presentation examines the biblical account of the origin of sin in Genesis 3, noting that sin began when Adam and Eve disobeyed God, not because God made them sinful.
3. While humans inherit a sinful nature from Adam, God still holds each person accountable for their own sins and expects perfection, though as sinners we are unable to fulfill God's expectations without Jesus.
This document provides a summary and comparison of the views of Augustine, Pelagius, and Aquinas on the doctrine of original sin. It discusses their perspectives on the state of man before the fall and the effects of the fall. For Augustine, man was created good but lost his free will and ability to not sin due to the fall, which corrupted all of humanity. Pelagius believed man was created neutral and unaffected by the fall, retaining free will. Aquinas' view synthesized Augustine and Pelagius, holding that the fall diminished but did not destroy human nature or free will.
Original sin comes from Adam and Eve's disobedience in the Garden of Eden. As their descendants, all people are born sinful and unable to fulfill God's perfect standards. God holds everyone accountable for their sinful nature and falling short of his expectations. The consequences for sin are death and hell. However, Jesus came to save sinners and restore their relationship with God by forgiving sins through his sacrifice on the cross. Believers can have eternal life through faith in Christ rather than facing damnation under their own sin.
God created Adam and Eve to live happily with Him in the Garden of Eden. However, they disobeyed God and ate the forbidden fruit, committing the original sin. As a result, they lost sanctifying grace and were banished from the garden. All humans are now born with original sin and a tendency to sin. However, God promised to send a savior to restore grace. Jesus won back grace on the cross. The Holy Spirit now distributes grace to those who believe.
This document discusses the biblical passage from Psalm 90:10-12 about the brevity of human life. It notes that the average human lifespan is around 70 years, and provides statistics about the number of remaining days as one ages. The document encourages readers not to procrastinate, as life is short. It proposes categorizing stages of life as different "gardens" and asks how readers will use their remaining time. The overall message is to remember our Creator during our youth and to gain wisdom by numbering our days, as life passes quickly.
This document discusses God's availability through prayer like a cellphone. It references Jeremiah 33:3 where God says "Call to me and I will answer you." Just as people use cellphones anywhere and anytime, believers can always call on God through prayer no matter where they are or what they are doing. The document encourages readers to call God's "cellphone number" through prayer and talks about how prayer is an important way to communicate with God anywhere.
The document uses the metaphor of a caterpillar transforming into a butterfly to illustrate the Bible verse about being made new in Christ. It describes how a caterpillar spins a cocoon and emerges as a beautiful butterfly, representing how those who invite Jesus into their hearts become new creations, with the old things passed away and made anew. The transformation from caterpillar to butterfly pictures the new life and nature believers receive through faith in Christ.

The document discusses how various biblical figures like Peter, John, James, Jude, and Paul all taught about upholding the Ten Commandments and God's law, despite what some interpretations of Paul's writings might suggest. It provides multiple examples from their writings showing how they emphasized obedience to God's commandments. The document argues that Jesus did not cancel the Ten Commandments or ask believers to worship on Sunday instead of the Sabbath. It seeks to resolve apparent contradictions in Paul's writings by explaining that while salvation is through faith alone, believers are still obligated to obey God's righteous law.
Unity in the church is essential and was important to Jesus, who prayed that believers may be one. The church is like a body with many parts working together in unity. Members are like living stones building up the church. Sharing the same mission and goals of proclaiming the three angels' messages can help build unity. While the specific message has changed over time, the present truth for Adventists is the heavenly sanctuary and investigative judgment. Order and organization are necessary and have been established under God's direction, but unity also requires prayer, Bible study, and witnessing to be sustained.
Unity in the church is essential and was important to Jesus, as evidenced by his prayer for his disciples. The church is like a body with many parts working together in unity. Maintaining unity requires living as "living stones" that help the church grow together through sharing the same mission, message, and organization. While structure and order are necessary, true unity is built through prayer, Bible study, and witnessing.
This document discusses the importance of unity in the church. It provides several examples of unity from the Bible, including Jesus' prayer in John 17 that believers may be one. The church is compared to a body with many members working together. Organization is also discussed as being essential for carrying out the church's mission and protecting it. Ellen White is quoted emphasizing that order and discipline are needed and God has directed the establishment of the church's structure. The document concludes that while mission, message, and organization are important for unity, elements like prayer, Bible study, and witnessing are also necessary to create and sustain unity in the church.

A375 Example Taste the taste of the Lord, the taste of the Lord The taste of...franktsao4
It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

2. VERSE 2
“GO TO THE GREATE CITY
OF NINEVEH AND PREACH
AGAINTS IT, BECAUSE ITS
WICKEDNESS HAS COME.”
3. •JONAH LIVED ALMOST 2800
YEARS AGO NEAR THE SEA OF
GALILEE. WHEN GOD CALLED
HIM. EVEN THOUGH HIS NAME
MEANS DOVE, HE ACTED LIKE A
SCARED DOG WITH ITS TAIL
TUCKED BETWEEN ITS LEGS.
RUNNING OFF TO HIDE
7. II.GOD’S CALL IS VERY
PERSONAL
JONAH WAS A REAL PERSON
WHO LIVED IN A REAL CITY
JUST LIKE US. HE KNEW GOD
AND REALIZED IT WAS
REALLY GOD WHO WAS
CALLING HIM TO A WIDER
MINISTRY.
8. >GOD IS STILL CALLING
US TODAY. GOD DOES
NOT CALL THE
EQUIPPED PERSON, GOD
EQIPS THE CALLED. GOD
KNOWS US.
9. III.GOD’S CALL IS ALWAYS SPECIFIC
JONAH WAS CALLED TO NINEVEH,
THE WICKEDEST CITY IN THE
WORLD. NINEVEH DESCRIBED AS
PEOPLE HAD FALLEN IN TO SIN. THE
CITY OF BLOOD. THEY TORTURED
ADULTS BY SKINNING THEM ALIVE
AND LEAVING THEM TO DIE IN THE
BURNING SUN.
10. GOD IS STILL CALLING HIS
PEOPLE BUT
UNFORTUNATELY THE
MODERN CRUISE LINE
CALLED THE “ PRINCESS
TARSHISH” IS DOING BIG
BUSINESS IN THE CHURCH
TODAY.
11. YOU HAVE A HARD
TIMES TO KEEP THE
SABBATH AND YOU
YOURSELF DON’T WANT
TO KEEP AND WANT TO
WORK DURING SABBATH
AND EARN MONEY.
12. JONAH RAN FROM GOD
JONAH 1: 3 JONAH HEADED
FOR TARSHISH. HE WENT
DOWN TO JOPPA WHERE HE
FOUND A SHIP BOUND FOR
THAT PORT. JONAH DID THE
OPPOSITE OF WHAT GOD
WANTED HIM TO GO.
13. TARSHISH WAS HIS WILL BUT
NINEVEH WAS GOD’S WILL.
NOW YOU HAVE THE
FREEDOM TO GO TO
TARSHISH WHEN GOD HAS
CALLED YOU TO GO TO
NINEVEH , BUT YOU GO
WITHOUT BLESSING.
14. VERSE 3. JONAH FOUND A
SHIP BOUND FOR
TARSHISH. WHAT A
COINCIDENCE! THIS IS A
GOOD SIGN! LUCK IS WITH
ME! YOU MAY ALSO FIND A
SHIP READY AND WAITING.
15. BUT IF YOU ENROUTE
TO TARSHISH WHEN
GOD CALLED YOU TO
NINEVEH, YOU CAN BE
SURE A GREAT
STORM.
16. SATAN ALWAYS SEES THAT
TRANSPORTATION IS
PROVIDED FOR THOSE WHO
ARE RUNNING AWAY FROM
GOD’S WILL. AND THE DEVIL
WILL ALWAYS MAKE SURE
THAT THE SHIP SAILS RIGHT
ON TIME.
17. IV.RUNNING FROM GOD
TAKE YOU DOWN FAST.
NOTICE HIS DOWNWARD FALL.
FIRST HE WENT DOWN TO JOPPA.
THENHE WENT DOWN INTO THE
SHIP. THEN INTO THE SEA, THEN
DOWN INTO THE WHALE’S
BELLY,THEN DOWN INTO THE
DEEP.
18. >WHEN YOU CHOOSE TO
LEAVE THE SURE PATH
OF GOD’S WILL YOU
BEGIN A LONG
DOWNWARD TRAIL THAT
LEADS TO DISASTER.
19. V.RUNNING FROM GOD IS
VERY EXPENSIVE
JONAH PAID THE FARE. SIN IS
COSTLY. JONAH PAID THE TICKET.
THE VOYAGE OFTEN TOOK 6
MONTHS OR EVEN PROBABLY
TOOK ALL THE MONEY HE HAD.
SIN IS LIKE THAT. WE PAY OUR
OWN WHEN WE FLEE FROM GOD.
20. GALATIAN 6:7. SIN IS THE
MOST EXPENSIVE THING
IN THE WHOLE WORLD. IT
COST THE BLOOD OF
JESUS.
ROMANS 6: 23 “ THE
WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH”
