What's to learn? Tell them God did it.

Here's a few of our Sunday School kids. They know.

Re: Hello Everyone

Thank You Pastor. My husband is the Assistant Director of a drop in Center for people who have a mental and or physical handicap. It's like a day center. He has given me permission to be here. Infact, I showed him your website and he was quite impressed. I have given him two sons and a daughter.

Sadley I don't have the link to my pastor's sermon but last Sunday, he preached to us about infedelity. His sermon was quite passionate. He speaks straight from the King James bible. Another thing he preached to us about is why the KJ is better than the NIV. I always knew that the KJ was the one true bible but hearing him explain to us the reason for that was impressive. He told us that each time an NIV is printed, something is changed and or taken out and it happens so gradually that the reader doesn't even realize it. The companies claim that the NIV gives us a better understanding of God's word by putting the scriptures in simpler terms. With the KJ, God's word always stays the same, that no matter how people try to twist God's word and change it in each new print of the NIV, God always remains the same, the sins stay the same as do the punishment. I am eager to see what this Sunday's sermon will be about. I will be sharing it with everyone on here if that is alright.

It's refreshing to have a Christian of your quality here in our Godly forum!

Please remember, there is no need to respond to the likes of me. I am insignificant here, and I understand your reluctance to speak to my ilk. The Pastors are here for your counsel and support.

Regardless, you are a Godly woman, and I wish to commend you on your service to your husband and family. Well done! Praise God!

This is true. I like for them to see for themselves the beauty God had created. Every day I thank God for all he has given us. Eyes to see his beautiful creations, our hearing so we can hear the wonderful sounds and a voice so that we can make a joyful noise in his name.

I will let you nice people go for now, I am going to read a page in my bible then go to sleep. It's something I do to give me a peaceful mind when I sleep so good night everyone and God bless you.

At the moment I am getting people to praise God for creating parasitic wasps. They're the wonderfully designed little critters that lay their eggs in a paralysed living host to hatch out in. The grubs then eat the host alive. This shows a depth of faith and commitment to God's grace principle of being able to use animals for anything without compunction.

People seem oddly resistant to the idea even though it is as clear as the nose on your face that God designed the wasp and meant for the spider or caterpillar or whatever to suffer dreadfully and be eaten alive.

Has your husband got any thoughts on this? Perhaps you could build it into one of your nature walks. I often find beetles that have been parasitised and I always feel closer to God's reality when I do.

That is quite impressive. I completely agree with you. Actually last week I took a picture of a wasps nest. I found the construction of it facinating. A lot of people look at insects as grotesque creatures but they don't realize that they are also God's creations. Like humans, insects have their own jobs to perform, they build their own homes. I once saw a child kicking at an ant hill and I asked him why are you destroying the ants natural habitat? And he replied because they are ugly. I told him that the ants were not bothering him therefore they should be left alone. I would like to add insects in our nature walk and explain to my children why God created them, explain each insect's purpose in life. I find spiders interesting as well the way the spin their silk webs. I believe that insects are artists in their own way. So many times I would be taking a walk just for no reason other than I love the enjoyment of it and Either a Monarch or a white butterfly would flutter across my path and I would always be in awe over the beauty God has created. As for my husband, he doesn't think about insects the way I do. I asked him just now and he said it never really crossed his mind.

Re: Hello Everyone

No. Insects that might sting or be a nuisance should be dispatched, as God tells us in His precious Word.

Genesis 1:26 "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth."

I find that I can exterminate any living thing that refuses my dominion. I can only hope that you do too. If you are really a Christian.

I am. The picture I took of a wasps nest was attached to a house that was for sell. A little high up to reach to destroy but able to zoom in on my camera. If I were to destroy it if I could reach it and it was my own home, it would be during their hybernation time. At the time I took the picture, there were wasps crawling all over that nest. Still amazed at how they were able to build it. We live in an apartment upstairs of our building and we had a wasps nest on our balcony and to avoid having them harm my kids should the balcony door get slid open, we had the maintainance man take care of it. I still love taking the pictures though and I find all insect beautiful in their own way, some have to be destroyed for everyone's protection. It's unfortunate but sometimes these things have to be done.

What are you on about? Those wasps were clearly not under man's dominion so should have been destroyed. There should be no hint of compunction about it.

It seems to me you are being swayed by new age nonsense thinking. That kid kicking over the ants nest was learning a valuable lesson from Jesus about how pathetic and feeble ants are and maybe he could up his game and exercise his dominion over livestock or animal pests. All you will have done is to confuse him.

As for spiders: I find the way God has designed them to paralyse their prey then inject them with gloop that digests their innards before sucking them out with a straw or even just hanging living prey up to keep in a larder is again one in the eye for the Charlotte's Web brigade. God made animals to be heartless and brutal killers with no regard for sentiment whatsoever.

Re: Hello Everyone

That's interesting. I like that. I am taking my children on a little nature walk. and we're learing about the four seasons and how they came to be. We are collecting leaves of different colors and shapes since we are in the fall season right now. With my children being in kindergarten and first grade and one is seven months old, it should be an easy project.

Oh how fun!

So tell me, how do you keep your nature walks glorifying to the LORD? When we did nature walks, my children kept asking me questions like,

"Why do these insects have six legs when the LORD said they have four?" (Leviticus 11:21-24)

"Mommy, my friend says the bat isn't a bird, but God says it is. Who is right?" (Leviticus 11:11-19)

"Do snakes really eat dirt, or do they eat mice?" (Genesis 3:14)

It got to the point they were doubting the LORD's Word and so I duly punished them for such sins, and have resolved to never take them on nature walks again. It's not worth their choosing an eternity of forced sodomy by the Devil and his minions just to see that grasshoppers have four legs, even when it looks to our eyes like they have six. For the duration of their punishment (correction by hitting with a rod, knowing the LORD would not let them die regardless of how passionate our discipline was Proverbs 23:13), they were compelled to repeat:

For we walk by faith, not by sight
2 Corinthians 5:7

I think they got the message. They never ask about God's word any more, but accept it as is, as the Good LORD intends.

My kids want to know why does God make the leaves on the trees and then have them fall out every year? Still looking for a way to explain it to where they would understand.

I couldn't kill the wasps because for one, they were too far up for me to reach, another thing is because the house was not mine, it was one on the market for sell, and third, now would not be the best time to take a wasps nest down, they weren't hybernating at the time and I have no desire to be stung.

As for the ant hill, I just hated to see something get destroyed when their not bothering anyone. It's not new age, it's a soft spot I have unless they are disturbing my home or attacking my family, then what I do to them is in self defense. I know that insects prey upon one another sort of like animals. You seem to know a lot about insect. I'm impressed. I've never seen Charlette's Web.

Welcome, Loyal to God!

Did you remember to tell them that the fall is God's reminder to us of the result of mankind's inherited sin brought on by Eve? Every time a leaf crumbles, it's like a natural re-enactment of the fall over and over again. What a sad time of year!

Re: Hello Everyone

Mrs. Loyal to God, if you really want to inspire the young and old alike with God's wonders, tell your Pastor to give a moving sermon on the snake, especially the Garden of Eden variety. I am almost moved to tears when I hear a real man of God put a stupid atheist in their place by explaining how snakes got around before Eden!!! Genesis 3:14. I have been witness several times when an ignorant atheist hears the explaination by a man of God, only to put their hand on their forehead, roll their eyes up towards Heaven, and bang their head on a desk in shame, I figure. Oddly this is also a top ten favorite verse of mine!

Although we now all know that snakes slither on their bellys for movement, real Christians are slightly divided on pre-Eden snakes. One group thinks they simply bounced on their tails and the other group (me!) thinks they got around somewhat like a slinky goes down the stairs. Either way it leads to good clean Christian fellowship dicussion into just one more of the Bibles wonders!!!
