How Did Our Godly Foundation Crumble?

The Short Story:

James Hutton questioned Noah’s flood and founded uniformitarianism geology which was built upon by Charles Lyell who added a chronology of the rock layers called the geologic column in his Principles of Geology published in three volumes 1830-33.

Then there was Gap theory creationism which was popularized in The Adaptation of External Nature to the Moral and Intellectual Condition of Man (1833) by Thomas Chalmers.  This was a huge blow to Christian thought regarding the literal interpretation of creation in Genesis.  In my opinion, this was the turning point; the undermining of the validity of the Word of God!

Here we see and example of how the enemy can manipulate even a man of God who otherwise doctrinally hold to foundational tenets of the Scriptures! 

During this Age of Information of the 1800’s anything brought out in the name of Science was gobbled up as truth by the public.  So when Chalmers explained to Christians how he thought an old earth was true, it was swallowed up too.  This laid the ground work for Charles Darwin’s new religion of evolution to be widely accepted... in the name of science. 

And, woe unto us, the rest is history.  God, the Bible, and prayer has been removed from schools, and evolution is taught as the Gospel truth without the Gospel, of course.

A Thousand Generations

I often post on Facebook, verses that the Lord puts on my heart. Sometimes I think of a phrase or word from a particular verse, so I go to my favorite online Bible search. That is what I did today. While looking up something for a friend, I came across the phrase: a thousand generations. Wow. How powerful is that? Our generation has lost "His commandments." The ten commandments are seldom preached anymore; however that does not negate our responsibility, as Christians, to proclaim God's law in order to reveal sin. Here is what I have to say..."Preach it! Preach it to our generations!"

Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations; Deut. 7:9

Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations; 1 Chron. 16:15

He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations. Psa. 105:8
