Christians, Jews and Muslims

A Bible verse that intrigues me is the account of Acts. It talks about the last days.

Acts 2:17

17 “‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters
 will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.

 The Apostle Paul in his account to the Gentiles, did not, in his lifetime fulfill the fullness
of his commission. He was sent as a witness to the Gentiles but his heart was pulled towards
the Jewish Nation as evident by what he says in

Romans 11:13

 ¹³ I am saying all this especially for you Gentiles. God has appointed me as the apostle to the Gentiles. I stress this, ¹⁴ for I want somehow to make the people of Israel jealous of what you Gentiles have, so I might save some of them. ¹⁵ For since their rejection meant that God offered salvation to the rest of the world, their acceptance will be even more wonderful. It will be life for those who were dead! ¹⁶ And since Abraham and the other patriarchs were holy, their descendants will also be holy—just as the entire batch of dough is holy because the portion given as an offering is holy. For if the roots of the tree are holy, the branches will be, too.

I believe that Yeshua is moving among the Nations. Especially, in Muslims countries
where he has caused their veiled eyes to open. I believe that the Jewish Nation will
experience a revival soon, this will happen as millions of Muslims especially the ones
in Israel who turn to Yeshua in the last days, will provoke them to jealously.  Perhaps,
Paul's vision was slightly delayed. After all,   'With the Lord a day is like a thousand years,
and a thousand years are like a day.' 2 Peter 3:8

Is the Bible, God inspired Words.

A year ago, i made a trip to Israel (Israel Land of Shalom) . I wanted to see for
myself the Holy Land and make a connection with Israeli's. My friend Hanan
had inspired me to make the trip as the turmoil in the middle-east is a constant
reminder of my belated Uncle Manasseh. He was the Last Malaysian Jew. I call
him the last one. Simply, i did not believe until after his death, that there were Jews
in Malaysia. Until, i stumbled across the lost tribe i.e. B'nai Manashe in India.
Personally, i am not aware of any other Jewish descendents in Malaysia. Neither
does Malaysia acknowledge the contribution or celebrate its tolerance as to
the Jewish Peoples.

The Tanakh describes the historicity and details Yahweh's relationship to the
Israelites. The New Testament to the Gentiles.

Are the writings of the Bible accurate. What can we make of it ? Why is the
New Testament not accepted by Jews? Has the Christian Church reconciled
with its Sins of the Past with the Persecution and Jews who were Libeled and
Murdered. How could Yeshua's Message be distorted, maligned, and used to
commit atrocities in his Name.

I stumbled across some discussion, media, and sermon clips below that discusses
the dilemma concerning Messiah Yeshua. I hope may paint a clearer picture.

Dr. Bart Ehrman by far, seems to be, the favourite Naysayers weapon of choice.
He is quoted very often against the veracity of the New Testament. I will address
issues related to the New Testament on a latter Post.

The more pressing issue in my opinion is what does the Bible New Testament say
about Israelites. David Pawson's sermon on 'Israel and The End Times' talks
about Yeshua's plan for the Israelite Nation.

Evolution, Atheists and all things considered

The New Atheist purports that God is a 'Delusion' as Carl Marx would say
'the Opiate of the Masses'. At the heart of the matter in scholarly debate.
Evolution, they say, explains Creation in all it's Complexity. God does not
exist. I would like to weight in with my own observations. I will explain why
i don't believe that Evolution explains the existence of Life in the Universe.

There are three personal observations i would like to make with the help
of science and discovery. I'm open to suggestions, on what, you the reader
think. Do i make sense or am i as Richard Dawkin's purports  under a
'God Delusion'.

Firstly, let me, clarify my position. There is a difference between the applied
sciences versus theoretical sciences. We can observe genetic variation  and
evolutionary changes in biological systems. It can be empirically tested and
verified through years of research. How a cell evolved from it's fundamental
parts or cells evolving to higher forms, to me, falls under the theoretical sciences.
Scientists making inferences through observations not supported by empiricism.
Scientists observing the fossil record with the use of techniques like carbon
dating, observing nature's mechanisms, and the physical universe are making
inferences with no empirical proof. My observations:

i) Mechanics and  Propulsion in the Bacteria Flagella.

I came across a phenomena that i hit me on the head. The rotating filament
particularly how the rotor and stator appears designed and operates flawlessly.
However, even more amazing. If someone can explain to me how the filament
operates as a working directional arm. I'm surprised that Physicists have not noticed
that it is almost like a robotic arm coupled directly to the rotor. Now why is
this amazing? Simply, electrical theory does not make this possible. Electrical
Engineers are well aware of Electrical Noise i.e. Harmonics (3,5,7,..odd frequencies).
Why does it work? It's not supposed too.  This is a biological, mechanical and
electrical system.


ii) The Evolution of Venom

Lets talk about Snake venom which can be categorized as hemotoxicity and
neurotoxicity. Hemotoxic venom kills tissue and causes inflammation.Neurotoxic venom
effect the nervous system leading to death. Venom is essentially Snake Saliva. How did
venomous snakes evolve to the toxicity overkill levels (See Clip). How did the first
venomous snakes evolve itself, before being made extinct by predators, and/or
mutations of the saliva appear suddenly as to provide the snake a survival mechanism.
I put it to you. It is more likely that a massive numbers of snake species appeared
all of the sudden and mutation in species that evolved specialist's in venom. There is no
way a single cell evolved into many snakes. More likely, many snakes became the fewer
specialized snakes.


iii) The Universe

The 'Finely Tuned' argument. Apologist's like Dinesh D'Souza quoting Stephen Hawking's
book 'A Brief History Of Time'

'If the rate of expansion one second after the big bang had been smaller by
even one  part in a hundred thousand million-million, the universe would have 
re-collapsed before  it ever reached its present size.'

To be fair. This is however explained later, which i, refer to, as the rubber band explanation

 'The rate of expansion of the universe would automatically become very close 
to the critical rate determined the energy density of the universe. This could 
then explain why the rate of expansion is so very close to the critical rate, 
without having to assume that  the initial rate of expansion was very carefully 
chosen.'

What is Stephen Hawking really saying? I had to think about it. The Universe will only
expand, as much as, it will expand. That is why i used the 'rubber band' analogy. Again,
the deeper  question is why the does the 'rubber band' operate in the 'finely tuned'
decimal accuracy in the 'hundred thousand million-million'. 

The god called Evolution is in itself 'Delusional'.
