I am a Christian.

I am a firm believer that the world owes a debt of gratitude to the Christian church for the advancement of every single area of study, science, technology, philosophy, Civics, economics, medicine, Construction, civilization building, mathematics, Etc.

For everyone leading scholar or scientist of the Christian faith, hundreds of secular scientists hundreds of years later stand upon the shoulders of the Christian who advanced the knowledge in the first place.

If you believe that the Christian church has held back the advancement of mankind, you are being told a lie bi someone who stands on the shoulders of Christian Giants, and then calls themselves tall.

The Christian man or woman is the picture perfect example of what God intended mankind to be.

    The Church controlled education for many centuries.
    Of course our scientific advancements came from church money, they were the only game in town.

    Michael, there have been great Christian scientists indeed.

    The thing is science is by definition secular.

    E=mc2 regardless whether you are a Christian or a Muslim or a Scientologist.

    Yet there are Christians (young earth creationist) who claim to do science but instead all they do is embarrass Christians

    “Don’t think what is happening right now has to do with a virus. It’s not a virus. The world has chosen to be deceived. As they have been deceived many times before.”
    “This is not the Pandemic. Question where did the other ones go? No one is asking. I have asked the question, ‘Where do viruses come from?’ They are not found in nature, it means they’re created.
    I’m trying to let you know the reason you’re in your house. I call it a global seige.”
    “What they don’t tell you is that your body can be connected. Did you know that once that happens you can also be controlled as your devices are controlled.
    Meaning that signals can be sent to your brain, your brain can be controlled. Once that happens you are no longer yourself. The idea is controlling the new race.
    So since they can’t vaccinate everyone, they started vaccinating children and raising them that way.”
    You wanna know what’s going on in the world? There’s a movie called “Divergent” from 2014
    That’s what the groups that are interested in the new world order are up to, to put vaccine in your body containing a digital ID, by which you as a human being can be controlled, you seize to be yourself.
    To achieve the vaccination, they using 2 things:
    1. They created a pandemic (Covic19) in order to create fear and panic.
    2. They use internet of things (IOT), and created 5G (people can easily embrace it), which causes health issues, but you wouldn’t know cause they made you love the high internet speed.
    Both strategies lead to achieving their initial plan, vaccination with digital ID.
    If these groups were not hiding anything,……
    1. They forced everyone to stay indoors (aka quarantine/lockdown), but they have people busy installing 5G connections outside.
    2. Why do they get angry when others express opposite views. They taking down their websites and posts. E.g 1. Youtube deleted many videos expossing this conspiracy, 1 by former Vodafone boss. E.g 2. Facebook deleted post by Brazil president exposing their plans.
    Pastor Chris said we respect what the Government and the doctors are saying
    But we are not Stupid There is no virus that is natural its man made or accidentally created
    Failed Plandemic.
    If you still don’t yet know what is going on, know today; it’s not about the Corona virus. This is basically a group of people serving a devilish cause trying to checkmate humanity to hell.
    Don’t be ignorant, neither silent. This isn’t a time to seat on the fence because there is no fence. This isn’t about religion because as you can see, there isn’t one either. It boils down to two options: Life or Death.
    We are still in the age of the Church and the antichrist cannot advance his plans yet. The Bible is clear that after the Rapture of the Church, the son of perdition will be revealed. Brothers and sisters, this isn’t a time to play with Christianity. Give your life to Christ now while you still can because these things will happen, but after the Church is raptured.
    – Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc.DD

    I guess the original poster doesn’t realize the administrators in this group are young Earth creationist, and if you ask them they will tell you the Earth is 6000 to 10,000 years old, and the story of Creation in Genesis is a literal historical event.

    Real scientist work on the principles of naturalism, and therefore reject Supernatural explanations.

    we have just 2 assumptions in science

    There are natural causes for things that happen in the world around us.

    Evidence from the natural world can be used to learn about those causes.

    Science has NEVER included the supernatural.

    Nothing we understand about the natural world invoked anything supernatural

    “More than 350 years after the Roman Catholic Church condemned Galileo, Pope John Paul II is poised to rectify one of the Church’s most infamous wrongs — the persecution of the Italian astronomer and physicist for proving the Earth moves around the Sun.”

    “Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, Newton, and Laplace, all fought battles against the Church when they published scientific papers that enraged the Church by writing that the Earth might orbit the sun, rather than the idea that it sat at a central position in the Universe. These and other scientists suffered torture, imprisonment, forced recantations and death at the hands of Christianity”

    Indeed the Christian though imperfect yet In Christ whom God sent as the model to be replicated in all men. It was by Abraham they the whole world would be blessed and we as Christians are so because of Israel from which we gain our lord and savior Jesus. Amen.

    Only in eternity will we see the picture perfect example of what God intended. Not yet.

    Good point. Here’s a question that one can ask themselves about the current state of the World. Did humans figure out how to get to where we are without God allowing it happen? Or does anything happen without God’s sovereign allowance? It does not make everything we do good, but the rain falls on the just and unjust alike. Technology is only possible because we discover how His Creation works. Therefore, we only have it because of Him and the benefits or dangers result from our us fueled by our hearts.

    Two sided story. The faithful of God throughout the ages are to be credited with all good at all times. The sectarian beast wherein the faithful reside? … wrath when the faithful “come out”.

    Spot on, Brother! A recent publication that makes this point quite well is John S. Dickerson’s Jesus Skeptic.

    Amen!

    Perhaps in the Kingdom, God will allow that to reach its full potential.

    (I think there’s a reason why the universe is so ridiculously vast…… think eternity !!!!!)
