Wolves are dogs.   Dogs did not evolve from wolves.   They are related, but one did not come from the other.   Wolves and other kinds of dogs have always co-existed.  Wolves are simply one breed of dogs.

O.K. How do you explain rudimentary organs? That is some animals became aquatic and some took to land. This change is the evolutionary change of the species

Give me a modern example of what you are talking about that has been observed.

May be the wings in flightless birds or hind leg bones in whales. How do you explain that? And why do you think God is incapable of introduction of  slow evolutionary changes apart from creation on the spot. I know that for God absolutely everything is possible either quick or slow. He is a living God and and He can always change His mind and bring about any changes anywhere. He is not a program.

Give me a modern example of a speicific animal where it has been observed evolving from one species to an entirely different species.   I mean, science is all about observation, so show it.

Everything is not possible for God. There are things God cannot do.   And Evolution is contrary to His nature.   A God who can create perfectly and doesn't make imperfect creatures doesn't use Evolution.

An all knowing God does not change His mind.  Changing his mind indicates that he makes mistakes or has ideas that are not perfect and needs to change.   That is not how God is shown to us in the Bible.

Sorry, but I don't think you know Him.

Why? God may be punishing anyone and if He sees repentance He forgives and that means a change. It is not that His Ideas are not perfect. He can interact  and actually deal with His creatures. He gave us free will. That is a fact. Are we all perfect creatures? He wants us to do the right things as smart creatures not just repeat a perfect pattern. Why? Are you not pleased with your pet when it shows sudden unusual smartness and does something  without being forced into it. May be it is the pleasure of God to see how His creation it trying to be perfect without being forced into it. You say: " I don't think you know Him" And who does? Though we all try. He is unsearchable (Job 11,7). I absolutely disagree with that statement of your's: "Everything is not possible for God. There are things God cannot do". This is where I think we agree to differ.

An all knowing God does not change His mind.   To say otherwise is irrational.  If you know all things, and have a perfect knowledge, then you don't make errors in judgment and have to change your mind.

We were created perfect, but we fell from that because of our sin.

Irrelevant.  Humans are not Gods' pets.

We are not trying to be perfect, we headed the other direction.

I know Him.  I don't know everything about Him.  But I know Him.

God cannot lie.  God cannot murder, God cannot die, God cannot cannot commit a sin of any kind.  God cannot compromise His holiness.   God cannot create imperfection.  God cannot deny His essential nature.   Lots of things cannot do.

I've given 4 examples in this thread. Would you like me to list them again?

Although I personally agree with you on this point, it is certainly debatable according to Scripture. First, from Exodus 32, after the golden calf, the King James version reads "And the Lord repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people." In 1 Samuel 15, God was displeased with Saul and said "It repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king: for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments. And it grieved Samuel; and he cried unto the Lord all night." Regarding the city of Nineveh, Jonah 3: 10 says "And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not." Personally, I think this is a misleading interpretation, but I can certainly understand why others would disagree with me.

It might be a good idea to converse and learn about opinions and beliefs of others before deciding they simply don't know God because they disagree with you.

All those arguments are based on HUMAN understanding and reasoning. human logic (Rational/Irrational). That is not applicable to God. What may seem rational to humans may be irrational to God and the other way round. Do you agree with this? Or you think you possess the same reasoning as God? It is really irrelevant  to analyse the ways of  a supreme being and explain his ways scientifically. I always say "may be" in my arguments as I do not know the ways of God. WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU KNOW THE WAYS OF GOD BETTER? Is it your scientific degrees or are you blameless? You say: "An all knowing God does not change His mind". Who told you that?

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
