Why People Believe In Evolution Pt-2 ~ Message 91
This message continues to expose the reason that people believe the theory of evolution. It also considers how that in the last days the seventh and last church age, as mentioned in Revelation chapter three, truly born again believers can actually make God feel sick in their service for Him.
God gave us freedom and conflicting conditions to expose our will. Even though we know intellectually how brief our lives are, we have a sense of importance and believe we are smart enough to decide what to believe. Then we pursue our course of action and our pride forces us to continue to think we're right. If we face opposition we defend our choice. If the choice proves to be a mistake we make excuses, and deflect the responsibility to unknown circumstances or to other people.
The reason that Adam and Eve made the decision they did was a lack of information. Had they understood all the results, no doubt they would have denied their desires and gone on to live by faith in God’s instructions. We are all just as vulnerable. We have only a vague idea of the results of our choices and so we continue to follow our desires until it is too late.
The greater problem is that in these last days knowledge has increased exponentially and there is less experience to help us decide wisely. Making matters worse a large portion of the knowledge that we gain is intentionally false, just like Satan’s instructions to Eve. This brings us back to God's plan, to live by faith in Him and His instructions, or trust ourselves to decide, even if it means trusting other people to instruct us in what they believe.
