Just two points, Who initiated the policy of ' assimilation ' and who was used to implement it? Governments, with good intentions set up these policies and it fell to churches to implement these polices. I suspect that the children force to attend these schools/institutions were treat no worse then European children attending boarding schools. With possibly one major difference, the European children went home for holidays. Remember Christianity changes culture and not everyone likes that, not all native culture is benign. Read the biographies of pioneer missionaries to Indian tribes on the East Coast or to west Africa, the one I'm thinking king of is Mary Slessor, she literally changed for good the culture of the African tribes she reached.

One has to decide is an explanation that is based on the bible and honours the bible is correct or whether explanations that ignore the bible and are based on man's ideas are correct. If ccreation scientists cannot give reasonable explanations neither can evolution believing scientists.

If its sermons you want without gimmicks, that seek to explore and apply scripture you can try the following, they all have free online audio recordings. Dr Martyn Lloyd Jones of Westminster Chapel London, John Stott of All Souls Langham Plac3 Longon, and Dick Lucy's of St Helens Bishopsgate London They are English so their accents can be strange and the Doctor is very logical but very worth listening to.

If a reward is given because of the fulfillment of a law, then it is conditional. Equally if failure to obey a law results in a punishment it is conditional.

I suggest you check out answersingenesis or creation.com for accurate information about what the bible teaches about the global flood. One incorrect statement in your quote. "Unfortunately, the Biblical notion of a universal catastrophic destruction of all living things in the recent geologic past, followed by a Supernatural regeneration of the face of the Earth and the restoration of its surface flora and fauna by the Lord God, is not something many men and women of science would even consider " The bible does not teach that there was a supernatural regeneration!

It's amazing how people so readily reject the truth in preference for lies. Genesis tells us of a perfect world spoilt by man's sin and of man's attempt to manipulate God through a unifing tower. It's not hi duism that has the true history of the world but the bible.

When Jesus returns we are told that he will return in the same way he left, but that everyone will see him. This won't just be dramatic but utterly terrifying as many people will be trying to hide from him. Any Jesus that does not have this affect is false. Verses. Acts 1:10+11 returning the sam3 way. Rev1:7 every eye will see him Rev6:16 call for rocks to hide them.

What you have described is a conditional promise.

Have you read the promises and curses outlined by Moses?

Correction scientists interpretation of facts, as influenced by a materialistic view, causes them to disagree with the bible and the views of creation science. As Christians our authority is the bible, not the views of men.

Not just sincere good intentions, but also ignorance that bit. The command was for the Ark of the Covernant to be carried on poles, not on an ox cart. Our intentions might be sincerely wrong, but we have a duty to know what God expects of us. King David should have been advised by the High priest. We are priests, so should know what the bible says and know how to apply biblical principals to our lives. Unlike Uzzah, it won't cost us our life, but it could cost us much unnecessary anxiety.

Have you thought what caused an ice age? Why should a warm planet suddenly become covered in ice, and why should that ice ever melt? Both answersingenesis and creation.com have articles that examine this. In a nut shell. The breakup of the tectonic plates durring the global flood produced enormous volcanic activity. We see thousands of miles of volcanic rock. This warmed the sea, while the volcanic aerosol particles cooled the atmosphere and land. Dry winds over warm seas causes evaporation, most air rising over cold land causes precipitation, snow, cold winters and cooler summers would permit snow to remain and build up until there were sheets of ice. As volcanic activity settled down, subsided, the aerosols would be washed out of the atmosphere allowing the land to warm up while the seas would cool down, resulting in less evaporation, less precipitation, less snow and I e and a retreat of the ice. The flood explains why the ice age began and ended.

God's promises are all conditional. Moses read out to the people the blessings that would follow obedience, he also read out the consequences of disobedience. Yes if God's people.e had whole heartedly served God they would never leave their land. Ultimately that means believing in Jesus.

That is your conclusion not mine.

MAF, Witclife, TearFund and Barnabas fund are four I ternational Christian missions emp.oying professional people to do a professional job. The same can be said of mission organisations, even small missions like Morning Star in South Africa or Cari g for Life in Leeds England cannot operate full time on volunteers alone. Itsyour money, be diligent a d give as you are lead.
