Why is it that talking to certain christians is a lot like talking to a communist?

Sincerely, Comrade

Dear Comrade,

There are three possible reasons:

  1. Many christians are communists. Cuban christians are communists. Chinese christians are communists. Christians can be found amongst all the nations of the world. Christ died for us all, whether slave or free, Jew or Gentile (Col 3:10-11). Perhaps, you have been visiting these places lately and met a christian to talk to there. That would explain why they sounded that way.
  2. Communists are also known for their belief in a unified government under a single party. That would be similar to Christianity. Christians all serve Christ as the head of the church (Eph 5:23), and within the church we are all equals and servants one of another (Matt 23:8). If you really wanted to stretch the idea, you could say that Christianity completes the utopia that Karl Marx wished for (but failed to achieve). In Christ, all are equal, all help each other, and all have hope. Maybe that is why you feel that talking to certain christians is like talking to a communist.
  3. It could just be that you are attempting to be rude and mean.

Let us hope that it isn’t the last one.

Leave The Lemur Alone!

Wednesday, July 08, 2015

I'm sure you have seen the “47-million-year-old” fossil of the "human" that evolutionists found.  I mean, it is ridiculous; it doesn't even look human. It looks like an animal. I don't understand how they can say they found a 47-million-year-old human.

Sincerely, My Uncle Isn’t An Ape

Dear My Uncle Isn’t An Ape,

From time to time, evolutionists proclaim that they have found some spectacular new evidence that demonstrates that we evolved, and therefore the Bible is wrong. Every time they do this, the media becomes enamored, and a gigantic whirlwind of publicity ensues. Publicity is not the same as reality. Just because evolutionists say that ‘Ida’ (the name of the fossil) is a 47-million-year-old ‘missing link’ between mankind and primates doesn’t make it so.

The Bible answer is the same today as it was yesterday. God says He made the whole world in six days (Gen 1) and did it roughly 6,000 years ago. We were created and designed. I’m more inclined to believe God who was there than a bunch of scientists with an agenda.

Having said that, there is plenty of scientific evidence to refute ‘Ida’ being our evolutionary ancestor. I highly recommend reading this article from the scientists at Answers in Genesis. They specialize in studying these issues and the science behind them. The story is still fresh, and few scientists have had a chance to really take a look at the evidence, but as far as it looks now, ‘Ida’ is just another fossil of an extinct lemur species. ‘Ida’ would have been created on day 6… just like all the other lemurs.
