There seem to be those to whom uploading and removing videos at will seems to be entertainment in itself.  I deeply apologize to those who go to view something that says "video removed!" I feel responsible to deliver what I advertise, and regret that this happens. It is quite understandable when it is a channel is suspended, but, not in the case of AnotherBrotherMark, who simply closed his channel, or, as is in this case, simply removes videos uploaded in this his other channel, AnotherBroMark.

I ask any and all who will run into posts that lack the video promised to please let me know so I may find a way to replace it, as I have with this extremely good video by Dr. Peter Ruckman, which deserves to be up for ever!

The Gap Theory by Pastor Jessie Delewski of Bible Believers Fellowship

.

O Timothy, 

keep that which is committed to thy trust, 

avoiding profane and vain babblings, 

and oppositions of science falsely so called:

1 Timothy 6:20 (King James Bible)

 .

Jessie Delewski Bible Believers Fellowship 
SUN 03/06/2011


In this sermon we begin a study on the gap theory. Does the Bible really teach that there was a huge span of time between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2? When and where did the teaching of the gap theory enter into the church?

In the first part of this study, brother Jessie Delewski will answer these questions, and also prove that the "day-age theory" is unscriptural.

You will plainly see that the day age theory is an unnecessary compromise that Christians make between the Bible and the ridiculous evolution theory. We truly must beware of "oppositions of science falsely so called." (1 Timothy 6:20)





Jessie Delewski Bible Believers Fellowship 
SUN 03/13/2011

In this sermon we look at the meaning of the word "replenish". Does this word mean "to fill" or to "fill again"? Should we use dictionaries, or the Bible itself to define this word?

What about the passage in Jeremiah 4? Are verses 23-26 really speaking about a "pre-Adamite earth"? Or are these verses describing another event?





Jessie Delewski Bible Believers Fellowship 
MON 04/11/2011


In this message, Jessie Delewski covers the fall of Satan and how this event relates to the supposed "pre-Adamite fall" held by many advocates of the Gap Theory.

You will see why this pre-Adamite fall of angelic beings, just doesn't line up with scripture!





Jessie Delewski Bible Believers Fellowship 
TUE 04/26/2011

This is the final part of the studies on the Gap Theory.

Because the foolishness of God 

is wiser than men; 

and the weakness of God 

is stronger than men.

1 Corinthians 1:25 (King James Bible)

In his 1913 book The New Freedom, President Woodrow Wilson (1913 to 1921) stated:
"Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men´s views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it."

What Was Easter Originally? "Easter" is Not a Mistranslation by David J. Stewart

.
"Easter" is Not a Mistranslation


What Was Easter Originally?

 
 The word " Easter" is found one time in the entire authorized King James Bible:

"Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church.  And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.  And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)  And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people." (Acts 12:1-4)

So here we have a situation in Acts chapter 12.  Herod had just beheaded James, it made the Jews happy.  Now Herod wanted to kill Peter also, but he wanted to wait until after "Easter" according to the King James Bible.  Notice that the NIV bible has the word "Passover" instead of "Easter."  I will prove to you from the King James Bible that "Easter" is in fact, the proper word to use.

The word "Easter" here, does NOT refer to " Easter" as we know it nor does it refer to the " Passover" as it is wrongly translated in other Bible versions.

Though many Christians celebrate "Easter" in remembrance of the resurrection, Easter was originally a pagan festival (etymology of your dictionary should confirm this), which is what Acts 12:4 refers to and not the Passover.  We will determine this by looking at the passage.

The Webster's New World Dictionary gives the following etymology (origin and development of a word), for the word "Easter":

originally, name of pagan vernal [spring time] festival ALMOST COINCIDENT in date with paschal [Passover] festival of the church,
--Eastre, dawn goddess --Austro, dawn

In other words, Easter was originally a pagan festival celebrated in the spring time.


"Easter" is Only Translated Correctly in the King James Bible

The word, "Easter" has been incorrectly translated "Passover" in all Bible versions except for the authorized King James Bible.  How do I know this?  The Bible shows it.  Notice again in the passage of Acts 12:1-4, King Herod killed James.  When he saw that it pleased the Jews, he also took Peter.  Notice that Herod took Peter DURING the DAYS OF UNLEAVENED BREAD and was going to bring him forth to the people AFTER Easter.

"In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD's passover.  And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread." (Leviticus 23:5,6)
So we learn from this Scripture that the day of Passover fell on the 14th day of the first month, and then the "FEAST of UNLEAVENED BREAD" began upon the 15th day of the first month.  

The days of unleavened bread came AFTER Passover!  Acts 12:3 tells us that Peter was apprehended DURING the "days of unleavened bread."  This means that the day of Passover had ALREADY occurred.  "Easter" could not have been Passover, because Passover occurred BEFORE the days of unleavened bread.  Passover had come and gone.  Herod decided to bring Peter forth AFTER Easter.  This is the sequence:

1. PASSOVER
2. DAYS OF UNLEAVENED BREAD
3. EASTER
 
Let's look at it from the book of Numbers as well:

Passover only comes once a year on one day, the 14th of Abib ( Num 28:16).  After the Passover comes the days of unleavened bread (Numbers 28:17), extending from the fifteenth day through the twentieth day of Abib.  So when Peter was arrested during the days of unleavened bread (Acts 12:3), Passover had come and gone!  The Bible says that Herod was going to bring him forth AFTER Easter ( which had not come yet).

When the King James Bible says " EASTER" in Acts 12:4, it is correct; when the other versions say " PASSOVER" in Acts 12:4, they are incorrect.  " Easter" in this passage is referring to a pagan festival (remember the etymology teaches that the pagan " Easter" is almost coincident with paschal (Passover)...

É João Paulo II

Santíssimo aos olhos de Deus?




Uploaded by on Apr 26, 2011
 
Quando o Papa João Paulo II estava vivo, ele viajou para diversas nações do mundo a receber uma grande quantidade de bajulação e veneração. Desde sua morte em 2005, ele continuou a ser adorado em todo o mundo. Logo, porém, a Igreja Católica oficialmente destinadas a devoção religiosa. De 01 de maio de 2011, a data da sua canonização, as pessoas seriam instruídos, não só para lhe mostrar veneração religiosa, mas também foram instados a rezar para ele. Assim, é mais importante que responder a pergunta, é João Paulo II abençoou aos olhos de Deus? O que está em jogo é a salvação das almas, porque a adoração e oração a um humano morto nega verdades bíblicas essenciais fundamental para o Evangelho. Nós cuidadosamente documento a partir de sua posição oficial no Vaticano que o Papa anterior instruiu as pessoas a acreditar. Além disso, traçamos exatamente quais são as consequências de adoração demonstrado que um ser humano. Rezamos e esperamos uma exibição de Sua graça como este DVD é visto, para a Sua glória e pela salvação das almas.

Birdsong by David Cloud

.
The heart in wonder, like a lonely wren,
Will sing a while, and then be still as long.
He waits an answer ere he sings again,
Who sings for love, and not alone for song.

The bird's shy pipe will falter in the end,
The heart's voice sicken if it be not heard,
They seek the absent, the beloved friend,
Song is for lovers, whether heart or bird.

So, if you hear me, tell me that you hear,
Lest I grow weary and forget to sing;
As in this sweet green season of the year
The bird that hears no answer lifts his wing
And far away, dejected and remote,
Tries other woodlands with his lonely note.

Robert Nathan, Sonnet VI


I could not resist when first viewing the title to insert this beautiful poem by one of my favorite poets! Even the season is in agreement!

I could not quite see what I was typing for tears blurred my eyes.  This has the power to clutch at my hart and overwhelm me with emotion! I hope it is all correct.

I was so fortunate to a couple of decades ago be able to get an old 1935 (I love old books!) edition of Selected Poems of Robert Nathan!

Birdsong

April 26, 2011, David Cloud, Fundamental Baptist Information Service, P.O. Box 610368, Port Huron, MI 48061, 866-295-4143, fbns@wayoflife.org

 
Birdsong is a wonderful icon of creation.

Though all bird sounds are typically categorized as “songs,” a distinction should be made between true songbirds and other birds that make various noises. For example, most ducks, eagles, and hawks are not songbirds. They quack or screech, but they don’t sing.

I suspect that bird calls are often lumped into the “song” category because of the evolutionary philosophy underlying the field. It is assumed that the purpose for all bird noises, regardless of how pretty and complicated, is for such things as territorial marking and mating which supposedly acted as conditions for “natural selection.” Evolutionists even theorize that the true song birds are more highly evolved (Les Beletsky, Bird Songs from Around the World, 2007, p. 7).

While there is no doubt that bird songs mean something to birds, the Bible believer knows there is more to it than this. Evolutionists are blind to the fact that pretty bird song has a much higher purpose, and that is to glorify the Creator and to please man, the crown of creation (Psalm 8:4-8).

Some birds have truly amazing musical abilities.

Pliny the Elder said in Naturalis Historia “that the song of the Nightingale was equal in beauty to any musical instrument that man could produce” (Beautiful Bird Songs from Around the World, British Library, 2008).

Percy Shelley described the Skylark’s song as ‘a rain of melody’ in his poem “To a Skylark.” “Anyone who has stood beneath an ascending Skylark in full song will immediately appreciate this fitting description” (Beautiful Songs).

Many composers have transcribed birdsong.

“Ornithologists have known for some time that bird songs use the same musical scales as our music. Decades ago it was noted that some of Beethoven's work could be heard from the European blackbird. The music was the same as the opening rondo of Beethoven's ‘Violin Concert in D, Opus 61.’ Since these birds pass their songs from generation to generation, Beethoven could have gotten the lilting music from the forefathers of today’s European blackbird! The songs of some species, like the song sparrow, follow the form of a sonata, beginning with a strong theme, then the theme is musically played with, and for a finish, the original theme is then repeated. Mozart had a starling as a pet. Once, having heard Mozart play his ‘Piano Concerto in C Major,’ the starling not only imitated it, but changed the sharps to flats! Mozart exclaimed, ‘That was beautiful!’ When the starling died, Mozart held an elaborate funeral for it. Eight days later he wrote ‘A Musical Joke,’ which contains the same elaborate structure found in starling song” (Creation Moments, May 12, 2010, citing “Music without Borders,” Science News, April 15, 2000, pp. 252-254).

“French composer Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992) ... dedicated much of his career to studying and expressing the musicality of birdsong. One of his most famous and ambitious pieces is the Catalogue d’oiseaux, a seven-book set of portraits that captures the spirit of species such as the Woodlark, Reed Warbler and Blue Rock Thrush” (Beautiful Songs).

Birds have two sets of membranes in their syrinx (voice box) so that they can produce independent sounds in two voices at once.

“Birds vocalize with the syrinx, a sound-producing organ located at the junction of the two bronchi at the base of the trachea. These two bronchial sides can actually be stimulated independently, so they can each produce different sounds at the same time, as happens in the clear, flutelike song of the Wood Thrush” (Bird Songs: 250 North American Birds in Song, foreword by Jon Dunn, p. 6).

Birds can take mini-breaths that are so brief and so perfectly synchronized with their songs they do not produce any discernible gaps in their songs.

“Birds give the impression of singing in long bursts for minutes on end without catching their breath. But they actually do this by taking a series of shallow mini-breaths, which are synchronized with each syllable they sing” (Gareth Davies, “Bird Songs,” pbs.org, n.d., http://www.pbs.org/lifeofbirds/songs/index.html, retrieved Oct. 13, 2010).

The nightingale has a repertoire of 100-300 songs.

A chaffinch can sing up to 45 notes per second and there can be several hundred notes per song (Stuart Burgess, Hallmarks of Design).

Some birds transpose songs from one key to another.

Others sing the same song in a variety of voices.

Some birds sing DUETS. These include the Australian magpie, Eastern whipbird, African shrike, African robin-chat, passerine, plain-tailed wren of Ecuador, California towhee, Long-tailed manakins, Buff-breasted wren, Rufous-and-white wren (Thryothorus rufalbus), Panama bay wren, Marsh wren, and the African shrike.

Some birds engage in countersinging and antiphonal singing, with one bird singing part of a song and the other bird singing another part, moving back and forth, possibly spontaneously composing “variations on a theme.”

Some pairs of songbirds, such as the African shrike, African robin-chat and Eastern whipbird (of Australia) perform this type of singing.

Antiphonal singing requires knowledge of the duet by both partners and split-second timing in its execution.

The whip-crack sound made by the male Eastern whipbird is actually a very rapidly ascending or descending whistle. Amazingly, the whistle stretches from 500 to 8000 Hz in just 0.1 seconds. The female often adds two notes to the end of the male’s whistle.

Some birds even sing MATCHED DUETTING in a group of four.

“The two pairs of courting birds will deliberately compose a song with four parts over a period of time. The songs are often very beautiful, with great musical structure, and involve split-second timing of the four participants.”

Matched duetting was discovered by a team of researchers in 2002 among the plain-tailed wrens (Thryothorus) in Ecuador.

As the morning mists rose on the slopes of Ecuador's Pasochoa volcano, the burbling of plain-tailed wrens came through the bamboo thickets. Two researchers started their standard procedure of catching wrens, banding them, and letting them go. Soon, however, they were startled when a small cluster of wrens settled into a bush and began singing together. It turned out to be ‘one of the most complex singing performances yet described in a nonhuman animal,’ says Nigel Mann.

“This social oddity has musical consequences. Often, three or more birds sing—males, then females, then males, and so on—to produce what sounds like a single melody.

’It's quite difficult to work out what's Charlie's contribution, what's Mary's,’ Mann says. Yet the scientists did work out the score. At rare moments in the several weeks of observation, Mann or Dingess picked up clues to which bird was singing when one singer perched closer to the microphone than the rest of the chorus did.

From these hard-won moments, the researchers realized that songs typically repeat four phrases: ABCDABCD.... Only males sing the As and Cs, and only females sing Bs and Ds. Each singer knows 25-to-30 variations on each of its two possible parts, and for each variation of A, a particular variation of B usually follows, as do particular Ds after Cs.

When more than two birds strike up a tune, they double up on the parts so precisely that if one bird stops singing, the tune keeps going. The males sing the same variation of A with precise timing, followed by the females chorusing the same version of B, then back to the males for the same C, and so on. The parts shift back and forth at least twice a second.

It's the first four-part, synchronized chorus with alternating parts recorded outside human music, Mann, Dingess, and Peter J.B. Slater of the University of St. Andrews in Scotland report in the March 22 Biology Letters. And when one considers the split-second alternation, the birds' singing surpasses human vocal virtuosity (Susan Milius, “Just Duet,” BioMusica.blogia.com, 2002).

“The white-crested laughing thrush also sings a group chorus. Each individual has its own phrase to contribute to the song: the result is like one bird singing. White-browed sparrow weavers sing group choruses, which they use to defend their territories. Remarkably, each bird is an expert sound mixer. It can also produce the whole chorus on its own. The sound produced by one individual will sound as complex as that produced by nine” (Gareth Davies, “Bird Songs,” http://www.pbs.org/lifeofbirds/songs/index.html, retrieved Oct. 13, 2010).

(The idea that the weavers are using the choruses to defend their territories is speculation, based on evolutionary assumptions that bird song evolved through natural selection.)

Some birds are adapt at mimicking other birds.

A mockingbird was recorded in Arizona singing a series of different songs for 90 seconds without repeating any one song.

A Crissal Thrasher was recorded in Arizona imitating the following birds in one session: Killdeer, Red-tailed Hawk, Western/Cassin's Kingbird, Lesser Goldfinch, Mockingbird, Plain Titmouse, Flicker, House Sparrow, American Robin, Sparrow Hawk, Abert's Towhee, and Song Sparrow.

Some birds can even recreate other sounds in nature and man-made noises. Starlings in the Shetland islands can mimic sheep. The Australian lyrebird, the king of feathered mimics, can imitate such things as the whirring of a camera’s motor drive and shutter, car engines and alarms, rifle-shots, explosions, a baby’s cry, a dog’s bark, and the screech of a chainsaw. There is a sound clip online of Chook, a lyrebird at the Adelaide Zoo, imitating the sound of construction equipment (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeQjkQpeJwY). See also http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/life/Superb_Lyrebird.

These amazing feats require not only a wonderfully-designed voice box but also marvelous intelligence, not only to control the voice apparatus but also to identify and recall them.

 Deuteronomy 12:30-31

(30) Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou inquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise. (31) Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.

  Matthew 15:9

(9) But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
King James Version   

Two arguments are often used to justify Christmas observance.
1) Many will reason this way: "But, even though the exact date of Jesus' birth is unknown, should we not select some date to celebrate as His birthday?" The answer is positively no! Notice the statement quoted from the Catholic Encyclopedia: "Sinners alone, not saints, celebrate their birthdays." The celebration of birthdays is not a Christian, but a pagan custom, observed by sinners!

2) But, many still reason, "Even so—even though Christmas was a pagan custom, honoring the false sun-god, we don't observe it to honor the false god, we observe it to honor Christ."

But how does God answer in His Word? "Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them [the pagans in their customs] . . . that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise. Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the Eternal, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods" (Deuteronomy 12:30-31).

God says plainly in His Instruction Book to us, that He will not accept that kind of worship, even though intended in His honor. To Him, He says, it is offering what is abominable to Him, and therefore it honors, not Him, but false pagan gods. God says we must not worship Him according to the "dictates of our own conscience"—a term we often hear. But Jesus says plainly, "God is a spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth" (John 4:24). And what is truth? God's Word—the Holy Bible—said Jesus, is truth (John 17:17); and the Bible says God will not accept worship when people take a pagan custom or manner of worship and try to honor Christ with it.

Again, Jesus said: "In vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men" (Matthew 15:9). Christmas observance is a tradition of men, and the commandments of God, as quoted, forbid it. Jesus said, further, "full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition."
That is precisely what the millions are doing today. They ignore the commandment of God. He commands, regarding taking the customs of the pagans and using them to honor or worship God: "Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God." Still, most people today take that command of God lightly, or as having no validity whatsoever, and follow the tradition of men in observing Christmas.

Make no mistake! God will allow you to defy and disobey Him. He will allow you to follow the crowd and the traditions of men. He will allow you to sin. But He also says there is a day of reckoning coming. As you sow, so shall you reap! Jesus was the living Word of God in Person, and the Bible is the written Word of God. And we shall be judged, for eternity, by these words! They should not be taken lightly or ignored.

The stats are continuously changing from minute to minute, but, only the top ten make the cut. I have seen most every country existent to have hit on it!


I am amazed to see countries the existence of which I didn't even know to have access to it, such as Benin, a tiny slice of land on West Africa!


I am more gratified to see so many countries considered Muslim and Buddhist to show up!


I also get to see how it is that they reach my blog, by the key words they enter in a search, the "traffic source!"



Just recently Blogspot makes the availability of seeing the most viewed posts which are a great aid to any who may wish to see the same but had not thought of it!  Anywhere between 300 and 400 pages are viewed in a day, albeit, just a couple of weeks ago I had a record 575 pages views, 300 of them to be of just the "Papal Infallibility" post! WOW! Very gratifying to see people interested in learning about the evil of the Roman Catholic Institution!
