Nudity, King David, Bathsheba and God’s Judgment

2One evening David arose from his couch and was walking on the roof of the king’s house, when from there he saw a woman bathing; and she was very lovely to behold. (2 Samuel 11:20

David looked on a naked body. He then committed adultery. And murder.

Then he lied about it.

Then he learned the woman was pregnant. He lied about that.

Then he had the woman’s husband killed.

Then he lied about that.

His sin began when he looked at the naked body of the woman bathing herself.

Now that Uriah is murdered by David, he marries Bathsheba.

God lets all this happen…then

He sends Nathan the prophet who tells David a story. David is so blind to his evil of adultery and murder that he swears the man will be killed who done such a thing as Nathan reports.

Nathan tells him he is the man. Yes David GOD forgives you and has put away your sin. However the sword will never depart from your house.

Israel  is still at war today. An innocent child dies because God struck him with sickness. Regardless of David’s prayers and fasting the child dies. David had killed Uriah. Now God kills David and Bathsheba’s child.

Yes it all started when Bathsheba exposed her nudity to David. I am sure Bathsheba knew David walked where he walked when he saw her that day. How could she not know that the king’s palace was right next door?

So from this one look at a naked body here is what happened:

1. Lust

2. Adultery

3. Covetousness and No concern for Uriah

4. Adultery and Lies

5. Murder and Lies

6. An innocent child dies

7. The sword will never depart from the house of David.

No doubt that IF Bathsheba had not bathed in full view of David none of these sins would have been committed.

God Against Public Nudity

Prophet Ezekiel, Russian icon from first quart...

Image via Wikipedia

The Hebrew prophet Isaiah “walked naked and barefoot for three years as a sign … against Egypt and Cush.” The Lord Himself directly commanded Isaiah to do this to represent the utter shame these people would experience.

Nakedness was used here as warning of judgment.

I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. (Revelation of Jesus Christ 3:18

Here God makes it clear that we need to be covered. Dare anyone say that the Lord approves that these people he addressed here go naked? The fall in Eden caused God to make them clothes to wear..

Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord GOD, and thou becamest mine. (Ezekiel 16:8)

Here God covered nakedness. He did this in Eden after they sinned against him. He made covering for them. Dare anyone say that the Lord in this passage approves of women exposing their bodies thus tempting men to sin?Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh? (Isaiah 58:7)

God here tells Israel to care for others which would include making sure they have clothes to wear.

And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.

 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father’s nakedness. And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. (Genesis 9:22-27)

A curse is placed upon Canaan the son of Ham for looking at his father’s nakedness.

And hath not oppressed any, but hath restored to the debtor his pledge, hath spoiled none by violence, hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment; (Ezekiel 18:7)

God here pronounces blessings on those who cover the naked.

 Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit on the ground: there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate. Take the millstones, and grind meal: uncover thy locks, make bare the leg, uncover the thigh, pass over the rivers. Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and I will not meet thee as a man.(Isaiah 47:1-3)

I understand this last verse to be God warning women to cover themselves or he will come to them, BUT not as a man will he come. He will come with judgment on her refusal to cover herself. He tells them to go ahead and expose themselves but when he comes to them it will be to punish. God equates nakedness with shame. Once the nakedness is uncovered then her shame shall be seen.

Nudity and Common Sense

Adam and Eve are being sent out of the garden ...

Image via Wikipedia

Thousands of people stand in St Peter’s Square anxiously waiting for the pope to give his blessing to all the Catholics.

Soon amidst pomp and pageantry he emerges. Naked as the day he was born he makes his appearance. He lifts his hands and does his blessing gesture. The crowd is silent. They obviously wonder why he has no clothes on. One little boy says to his daddy, “Look papa he has no clothes on!”

He speaks to the crowd. “Like Isaiah I am naked. Yes because of Isaiah the Hebrew prophet walking naked so do I walk naked today. He is no better than I. If he can go naked in public so can I.” The cardinals and bishops decide that they too must strip off all their clothes. “God made me this way” they shout. Soon they all stand before the crowd naked. Soon smell of rectums fill the place. Many had gone to the toilet and needed to defecate. But it is natural for the rectum to smell like feces after one defecated. It is natural so if others can smell the foul odor they need to realize that this is how God made them and of course it is beautiful. This is how God made them.

Meanwhile at Westminster Abby the wedding ceremony between William and Kate is about to begin. Kate is escorted down the aisle by her father. But as they begin their trip they notice that the minister that will perform the ceremony is naked.

He had read in the Bible that Adam and Eve were created naked so he decides that this is how he must appear. Kate and William will understand that nudity is natural and beautiful. If they do not think so it is because they are insane. How dare they go against God’s will for me.

For some strange reason he now thinks that the sin in the garden of Eden did not affect him. He is naked as he performs the wedding ceremony. No one in the church is naked only him. Why? Because he is the only one who realizes that nudity is natural and lovely. Naked bodies are to behold, he argues, not hide under clothes. Away with cotton. Away with silk and velvet God made me naked and naked I shall go.

William and Kate do no agree.

William and Kate at the altar  are shocked and horrified at this spectacle. But the naked minister reaches for his Bible to show them that Isaiah walked naked and so can he. He has no idea that God commanded his prophet do walk naked for a purpose concerning the message God had to give to a sinful people Israel. He clipped out a few scriptures out of their context and applied it to himself. The reason? Complete Bible ignorance on his part.

Far away across the sea in America the cities are filled with naked people. Men women and children stark naked going about their daily lives. Except for a few who see nakedness in public as missing a few sandwiches to go on a picnic. They understand that sin’s entrance into the world caused God to make clothes for his creatures. They wear clothes as man has been doing since he was kicked out of Eden by God.

The police are called by a citizen who is as the Bible says “clothed and in his right mind” to complain of the smell of sweat and feces. Not to mention the absolute disgust of those forced to look on strange naked bodies. They go home and lock their doors fearing the world has gone insane.

Obviously it has.

Shopping for groceries the young bride is forced to look at naked clerks as they check out her groceries. She is forced to walk beside a naked man who carries her groceries to her car. He asks her for a date. She declines.

In a court of law the criminal is brought in shackled and chained. But he is naked. The judge is naked. The attorneys are naked. All twelve jurors are naked.

A jealous husband is walking with his pretty young wife down the street. Suddenly she stops to remove her clothing. She is stark naked. She explains to him that nakedness is how God created her. She wants to be as God made her. They run into friends and stop to chat. The husband does not like the way his friend is looking at his naked wife. But she argues that nakedness is natural and beautiful. There is nothing wrong with it. His friend is only looking at her body to admire it. There is no danger of lust entering the picture. After all this is how God made her.

Soon word is out that all convicts in all prisons are now allowed to serve their time in prison without a stitch of clothing on.

Not all people agree that nakedness is the will of God. So they remain clothed. Most do not want to be nude in a world of sin and evil.

The five-year old girl is babysit by her naked uncle. The uncle explains to the parents that it is natural and beautiful to be naked. And as the parents leave he assures them that it is alright for the five-year old to sit on his naked lap while he reads her a story. After all he is a holy man of God. He is not subject to the law of sin that the apostle Paul said is in our members. He says it is natural and beautiful for him to be naked as he babysits his niece. After all this is how God made him. He removes the child’s clothes also so she can be as God made her also. Naked.

The teen girls are told by their male teacher that it is natural and beautiful for him to stand before them naked as a jay-bird as he teaches. He tells them he is sure their parents will understand that just because his genitalia is exposed to the girls means nothing. His penis is beautiful and to be seen and admired by his teen girl students.

He excuses himself to go to the restroom to defecate. He uses toilet paper to wipe his beautiful natural rectum. He understands that God created him naked. And God said that it was good. If he smells he smells what can he say? It is how God made him.  He dismisses the notion that sin is in the world. He discards any thought that perhaps his nakedness is not what God wills for him.

What is wrong with this picture?

NOTE: Jesus was stripped and beaten. Neither of these two things was done with his approval. He allowed it. The Bible says that he the sinless Lamb became sin for us. The Lord wore a robe woven without seam. This tells something about clothes. He is our great example.

“He who knew no sin became sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God (2 Cor. 5:21).”

Reverend Faith Debates Dr Hotiarre

Thank you Dr Hotiarre and Reverend Faith for agreeing to this debate. Now let us begin:

Reverend Faith: Dr Hotiarre you are a strong believer in evolution right?

Dr Hotiarre: I am.

Reverend Faith: You believe brains evolved?

Dr Hotiarre: I know they did. Billions of years ago my brain was the brain of a great silver back. I am the proud descendant of a smelly sex-crazed grunting killing ignorant disgusting beast.

Reverend Faith: So I take it that the human brain which you say evolved got its ability to think from the time-god?

Dr Hotiarre: Well not just from the time-god. But from environment also. From billions of years of trial and error. From billions of years of death and destruction. Yes man’s brain evolved. So did his capacity to think. At one time in earth’s dark mysterious history I could not think. All I could do was grunt. So you see how far we have come thanks to the time-god.

(Dr Hotiarre suddenly falls to the floor and begins to have a spasm. He jerks and salivates. He foams and grimaces. Then strangely begins to chant a eerie sounding jungle chant as he feverishly worships the time-god.) After about five minutes he appears to come back to reality. He does not apologize for his ghastly behavior, but says worshiping the time-god is part of his religion. He struggles back to his seat and composes himself without an ounce of shame or embarrassment.)

Reverend Faith: How long do these strange outbursts last when you fall to the floor to worship your time-god?

Dr Hotiarre: I never know when I will have an episode. I never can tell when I must fall to my knees with my face to the floor to worship the time-god who after billions of years changed me from a smelly sex-crazed beast into a degree laden doctor whose knowledge knows no bounds.

Reverend Faith: Do you believe that the same brain that evolved from an ape-brain to a human-brain evolved to invent and discover new drugs and medicines?

Dr Hotiarre: I do. For example when a scientist who is fully evolved from his grunting ancestors becomes a university degree holding scientist he goes to his lab to discover the cure for many diseases.

Reverend Faith: Like AIDS for example?

Dr Hotiarre: Yes science has discovered many drugs to destroy the AIDS virus. Or at least halt its destruction.

Reverend Faith: So what you say is that evolution tries to destroy itself?

Dr Hotiarre: I don’t understand.

Reverend Faith: You say that the brain evolved. You say that this same evolved brain then seeks to discover what will destroy AIDS; such as drugs. Yet it is evolution with the help of the time-god that made the brain that discovered the drugs to destroy the virus that is killing the host body. How does this make sense? You are basically saying that evolution is trying to eliminate itself. Why does evolved man try to destroy what brought it into existence in the first place to destroy its own evolving power?

Dr Hotiarre: Well as a scientist we realize that we evolved primates are one with the universe. But as we evolve into humans we understand more and more of our origins and our purpose on this particular planet. So we use our evolved brains that reason and think to destroy what tries to destroy us by disease and sickness. Hence we discover drugs that heal and halt disease.

Reverend Faith: So evolution fights itself? Why try to destroy what evolution created only to destroy and eliminate? If evolution doesn’t favor a certain one then why cumber it along?

Dr Hotiarre: As I said we are learning what we are. What the universe is. We are learning that some things are not acceptable. Disease is not acceptable.

Reverend Faith: Obviously evolution does not agree with you. Do you believe in prevention? Such as concerning the AIDS virus. Is there a reason it came into existence? Is there a certain host type it favors when it seeks to eliminate? Why does the evolved brain invent drugs to save what evolution obviously considers unfit? Evolution is all for to destroy the unfit. Explain how the same brain that evolution made seeks to invent drugs to save what evolution deems unfit to live?

Animal Rights Activists and KFC

Chick04

I read somewhere that Kentucky Fried Chicken promised PETA they would kill their chickens with kindness. Animal rights activists are always trying to save animals even if it is a slimy poisonous snake.

They should care about animals. We all should. But we should make sure they are kept in their natural environment. But, some animals are meant for food.

I watched the movie Love Comes Softly. In one scene Marty chops off the head of a chicken so she can cook it for supper.

The chicken is running in circles as she runs after it with an ax in her hand. Of course the chicken has no clue he is the planned supper meal for this pioneer family. She does not give up trying to catch it. Finally she does and with nary a thought that she is “abusing an animal” she chops off its head. She then drains it blood and plucks it. She serve the dead fried chicken to her family.

They are pleased with the delicious meal. Hmm… I wonder why the good Lord made chicken taste so good if he did not want us to kill and eat them? I think they were meant for food.

God told us in the Bible what to eat and what not to eat. Some animals are definitely meant for food. But to abuse animals just because you are a sadist.. or to kill them for sport is wrong. To bring wild beasts to live among humans is wrong. To use some animals for food is not wrong.

The Blood of Jesus the Remedy for Evolution

Stained glass at St John the Baptist's Anglica...

Image via Wikipedia

Evolution happens and it is only the blood of Jesus Christ that can stop its evil.

Evolution is not the will of God. It is the result of man’s rebellion against all that is good which is God.

Man sins man evolves without God. If God was in evolution then Darwin would not have abandoned his faith to believe it is all there is.

But there rose a Lamb in Jerusalem. The blood sacrifice needed for sin.

Why? Because God said so.

 

Dr Hotiarre’s Take on DNA

Animation of the structure of a section of DNA...

Image via Wikipedia

[Note: This blog is not intended to be racist. It is intended to expose evolution for what it is: sin. Evolution is the descent of man from God to sinning beast.]

Ladies and gentlemen we are extremely pleased to have as our distinguished guest speaker tonight Dr Fuller O Hotiarre. As you know Dr Hotiarre is so educated he is considered a phenomenon. Tonight he will speak on his astounding finding in DNA. Without further fanfare I give the floor to him now.

Dr Hotiarre:

Thank you for your amazing taste to have me for a speaker tonight. I am aware that you all know that I have received many awards for my research on evolution. Yes it is true I am proud that a smelly disgusting sex-crazed ape was my great-great-many times great- grand-daddy. In fact on my last visit to the Congo I took pictures of me and the apes. I felt like I had come home.

But tonight I want to speak on DNA and sickle-cell anemia and AIDS and cancer. Our bodies contain about 100 trillion cells. The blood in our bodies contain red blood cells that transport oxygen around our bodies. Yes our bodies that sweat as did our ancestors the ignorant smelly ugly apes. All apes are our ancestors I am proud to say.

Anyway our cells use a protein called hemoglobin to capture and carry the oxygen throughout our bodies.

Out of our 25,000 genes only a few contain the instructions for making hemoglobin proteins. The remaining genes do other stuff. But tonight I will prove again that evolution is taking place. I will make it clear that it is the strongest the smartest the fittest the most desirable that survive.

In African-Americans the disease Sickle Cell Anemia seems to favor them when in attack. Suddenly there is a mutation a change in the cell. The cell is no longer healthy but diseased. In its mutation it changes: it begins to eliminate the host body.

As you know our DNA is what identifies us. Our DNA points to us and says that is the one! It is he or she! DNA is science it cannot lie. It is fact and it is true. It is reality. DNA decides who is who. DNA is who you are. If you are not what evolution wants you must be eliminated. Your DNA decides if you live or die.

Why is this? Why is this disease prevalent in Blacks? I will tell you why. It is because the mutation deliberately occurs to eliminate this host body that once had healthy cells. It refuses the idea for that particular host body to have healthy cells. Evolution determined its DNA to have what will carry this particular disease.  It is out to kill what it does not favor. Is it because he is Black? It is because that particular disease can destroy this host easier than a non- Black host. For whatever reason evolution uses to do its dirty work. DNA favors no one but evolution does. But evolution uses DNA to determine if the host lives or dies. This is evolution.

AIDS patients take hundreds of pills a day. But just when they think they are doing better they become immune to the pills effects. They stop all pills for while. Hopefully a new pill will help. So the virus retreats and remains still and quiet. Then when a new pill is introduced the virus returns with a vengeance to kill the host body. It attacks the medicine in its determination to kill the host body.

There is something about these particular bodies evolution does not favor. So they must be eliminated.

In other words the AIDS virus remains inactive when no agent medicine is attacking it. Inactive in as much as it stops its attacks. Of course it stops its attacks. There is nothing to attack. Its focus is not only to kill the AIDS carrier. But to destroy whatever agents he sends against it to help the host.

Evolution what causes the disease is attacking evolution what made the pills; yes it is out to destroy itself.

Cancer is a word which in reality means death. For no apparent reason the cancer (death) victim begins to die.  For mysterious reasons the host body must be eliminated so death appears cell by cell. Its only objective is to kill the host body. The cancer victim’s cells began to multiply; or in truth death now is in control of the host body owning the cancer cells. Evolution eliminates by disease and death. So light is introduced in the form of a laser beam. The closest we will get to love is LIGHT a beaming strong laser of LIGHT to KILL the cancer cells (death cells)

The death cells cannot attack while being attacked by light that attacks.  Light does dispell darkness. But it is in his coded identity his DNA that decides if the host will live or die.

Death cannot be destroyed by artificial light. But to attack to destroy the death cells with LIGHT is a feeble attempt to create life out of death.

Dr Hotiarre takes his seat with a thank you.

 

And those who believe in evolution do all they can to prevent it from doing what it does: seek and destroy. Evolution which they claim to be science seeks to destroy itself as it destroys the very medicine science made, It fights against itself.

Eliminate what is undesirable. Why try to make people well when evolution is doing what it does to eliminate them?

The only answer for sin and death to be eliminated is through Jesus Christ.

Dr Hotiarre Defends Evolution

Entrance to Evolving Planets

Image via Wikipedia

You may speak Dr Hotiarre:

My fellow evolving creatures of planet earth; may I begin by reminding my audience that man is an evolving thing.

He is an animal. An evolving entity. In short man is a beast!

Yes at one time in a long ago age he crawled on his hands and knees searching for food. He killed and killed and killed to survive. He salivated and sweat.  He graduated to the grunt. He smelled and stunk with no shame.

He never smiled or laughed. When man was an animal he looked like an animal.

But as he evolved he suddenly because of the time-god began to own a conscience that convicted him of his murders. What could this be? How could man evolve morals? He murdered than he begins to feel conscience? How could this be?

Humans are killers. Why? because we are animals.

This is basically what we do today: we kill to survive.

I think Brother Happy mentioned that the Bible says that if we hate our brother we are a murderer.

How to murder someone is not just using the hands. Not just hands to use a gun or a knife. Murder with words. Slander them and insult them. Insult them every chance you get. And condemn them with no mercy.

Elevate yourself to a place high above them. Use every language you know to speak evil of the one you wish to kill. I guarantee it that words kill.

Brother Happy spoke of ignorance; of how we kill using words as our weapon of choice. Vicious words murderous words hurting and cutting words.

If a child hears he is stupid and worthless he is being murdered by the ignorant creature that is hurling the words at him. If an adult hears or reads evil of himself he begins to die just as God said he would.

Death is the wages of sin. Death to the murderer and death to his victim.

Yes we are killers. We are murderers. We are liars and thieves and robbers.

Hmm..according to Brother Happy every time I slander a person I use words to wound mutilate to kill. Words that can be used as a lethal weapon to utterly destroy.

Some evolve quicker and better than others as we can deduct by simple observation.

Have you ever noticed that some people look like monkeys? Of course you have?  He deserves to die. He is not fully evolved according to Darwin.

Have you ever seen a man who is arrested and charged with murder? Why? because he attacked for no reason a fellow human being. Inn his anger of beastly depravity he viciously killed him. He felt no remorse. Why? because he is a beast. A lying murdering robbing beast.

This a picture of man without God.

Man is a beast an animal who loves to do evil. He loves to curse and use profanity. He loves to indulge himself in slander and gossip of those he hates and judges. He sits and slanders the absent victim.

Man is a murderer and a thief. The same things Jesus said of Satan that he is a murderer and a thief.

Do I really commit theft when I slander another? Do I really rob them of their right to be heard? Of their right to defend themselves? If they are not present to hear me slander them than yes I am robbing them of their right to defend their reputation.

If I use vicious words to attack them with words stabbed into their back then into their heart.. I am a murderer.

So yes man is a murderer. He is a thief. He is an animal. A beast.

What but a beast would kill?

What but a beast would murder lie and run to hide?

Yes evolution proves that man evolved from a beast into a man.

But Brother Happy says the opposite: he maintains that man evolved into a beast after he sinned against his Creator.

Darwin got it backwards.

God created a man in his image and Satan marred that man and called it evolution.

God calls it sin.

How do we return to Eden. Through Christ.

Focus Adjustment to the Blood of Jesus Christ

The Last Supper of Jesus Christ

Image via Wikipedia

BUT it is the blood of Jesus that is needed.

Do we even hear about the blood anymore? Where? Not on Christian television which I don’t really pay attention to anymore because it is focused on money and celebrities and ratings.

It is sad to hear TBN introduce someone naming all their so-called successes in life. Life coaches and best-selling authors. They are big celebrities with their introductions. Such as “Tonight we are so blessed and privileged to have with us writer and life coach , actor, doctor, lawyer, mayor, governor, …and minister.”

Minister comes last in the list. Yes that is right GOD comes last! Do they really think this is okay with God? I think not. Go read about what he said about this in the Bible. He is first and last he will stay first and last..no matter what.

They go on naming off all their worldly accomplishments such as their degrees. They mention their success as an actor who appeared on such and such a show. They applaud their endeavors in Hollywood. It is all about the person. Then at the very end of all the big introduction naming all their worldly successes they add that he is also….a pastor. As if God is something thrown in just because they want to..

Of course they give God all the glory for making them so successful for all their education their money their riches their popularity their wonderful life and so on.

Personally..I don’t need a pastor who writes best-selling books. Or one who used to star in the old comedy sitcom. Or the one who started out on Broadway then decided to be a pastor. And who now pastors a church with 1000000000 members. I need a pastor who prays and pleads the blood of Jesus Christ. I remember them well.

Do they even talk about the blood of Jesus Christ?

No it is all about celebrity and Hollywood and money and success.

If it were all about that there would be no need for Jesus Christ. The world does fine without him as we can see. There are rich blasphemers. What does this tell us?

The world and the church are not one and the  same. Yet this is what TBN and other so-called religious programs try to make it be.

I personally believe this is why the world is in the horrible condition it is in. Because it is not longer the blood of Jesus they talk about but themselves and their great accomplishments.

Does money and celebrity have anything to do with salvation? No.

So and so became rich and is an atheist. So and so Christian became rich and shouts praise to God for making them rich.

Here is their crazy message:

Atheists can get rich denying God. But if one who believes in God gets rich it is because God did it.

What is wrong with this picture?

Dr Hotiarre

The Descent Of Man

Image by Kaptain Kobold via Flickr

My fellow scientists and evolving humans; tonight I will speak on why it is necessary to continue our research into the descent of man from beasts. I might add that I recently debated an ignorant uneducated Christian: a Brother Happy. It happened in a small town in rural America. It seems he doesn’t believe that man is improving. But rather that man began his descent into a beast when he so-called sinned against his Creator.

Of course he means mental beast. Or did he mention physical beast as well because of sin? At any rate...Brother Happy thinks that sin causes evolution to occur. In my case he would say that instead of getting better I am, in fact,  getting worse and worse. He sees me as profoundly deceived. He sees me as possessing the mind of a wild beast. He sees me as one of the most arrogant and conceited of all the creatures of earth. He sees me as self-serving. He believes that I behave as does a hungry lion in search of ignorant naive prey. That I seek to control the minds of men by so called education. That if we all read the same books written by the same authors we will all think as do the writers. Thus our guru is the book’s author. If we all read Plato we will all see things as does Plato. If we all read Darwin we will all think as does Darwin.

No he did not convey this in these words. But this is what I gathered from his views. He believes in the descent of man also. But he says it happens because of sin. Sin he says is disobedience to God. Sin is evolution. He says this must be since sin cares for no one only self.  He maintains that sin and evolution behave the same. Destroy the other to survive instead of sacrificing oneself for the other to live.

He says sin is the cause of death and destruction. I must admit this is exactly what evolution is all about: death and destruction. He says sin is the reason men die. He says sin is the reason men lie and cheat and steal. He says sin is the reason I think I am better than he.

This is nonsense. I don’t think I am better than he. I know I am better than he. Is it my fault that I evolved into a highly educated and polished speaker? Is it my fault he evolved into a simple country boy?

Tonight I will speak on the descent of man from a beast to a highly favored human species such as myself.
