Run to the end

Every believer is in a race and they must keep their focus on Jesus. There are many trials that will occur in their lifetime.
There are many people that train in sports so they can be an professional in their given sports.
There are days when their training are long and tiring but they keep their focus on the prize of the right of playing for money and they will refuse to become lazy.
The believer in Jesus needs to have the some attitude like the person training for their sports. The believer should work hard for their faith and believe that God is the great Giver of life.
This world will throw their ideas towards the believers that sin is worth trying but the believer must remain strong and pure for the Lord Jesus.

Hebrews 6:11-12

 ¹¹ We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, so that what you hope for may be fully realized. ¹² We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.

The Principles of Reality

I will be talking about the First Principles. The principles of reality. Without basic first principles of reality, nothing can be known. Everything we know about reality is known by them. Twelve basic first principles can be set forth.
1) Being Is (B is)= The Principle of Existence
2) Being is Being (B is B)= The Principle of Indentity
3) Being is not non-being (Either is no Non-B= The Principle of Non-contradiction.
4) Either Being or Non-being (Either B or Non-B)= The Principle of the Excluded Middle.
5) Non-being Cannot Cause Being (Non-B>B)= The Principle of Causality.
6) Contingent Being Cannot Cause Contingent Being (Bc>Bc)= The Principle of Contingency or (Dependency).
7) Only Necessary Being Can Cause a Contingent Being (Bn -> Bc) = The Positive Principle of Modality.
8) Necessary Being Cannot Cause a Necessary Being (Bn>Bn)= The Negative Principle of Modality.
9) Every contingent Being is Caused by a Necessary Being (Bn -> Bc)= The Principle of Existential Causality.
10) Necessary Being exists= Principle of Existential Necessity (Bn exists).
11) Contingent being exists= Principle of Existential Contingency (Bc exists).
12) Necessary Being is similar to similar contingent being(s) it causes= Principle of Analogy (Bn- similar -> Bc).

For a realist, being is the basis of knowing. The rationality Rene Descartes said, "I think, therefore, I am." But for a realist such as Thomas Aquinas, " I am, therefore, I think." For one could not think unless he existed. Existence is the foundation to everything. Being is the basis for everything. Everything is being. Hence, there is no distinction between the rational and the real. Thought cannot be separated from things or knowing from being.

Two contenders for the history of life on earth.

There are two contenders for the history of life on earth: some of naturalism (evolution) or supernatural creation. Are there really any alternatives to some form of naturalistic evolution in science if science is restricted to naturalism?
I will examine Operational Science: a systematic approach to knowing facts that uses observable, testable, repeatable, and falsifiable experimentation to understand how nature commonly acts.
Operational science is the type of science that allows us to understand how DNA codes for proteins in cells.
Understanding how those laws operate is the basis for scientific thinking.
Some events defy natural laws. Christians refer to these things as miracles, but naturalistic science must find a way to explain these occurrences naturally. This approach rejects miracles in the Bible because they cannot be explained using natural laws. Such scientists occasionally try to explain the miracles in the Bible as natural phenomena but this ultimately undermines the authority of God and His Word.
If science depends on naturalistic explanation, it must accept that our thoughts are simply the products of chemical reactions that evolved from random chance. How can you ultimately rely on randomness to evolve the correct way of thinking? If there is no God, ultimately, philosophically, how can one talk about reality? How can one even rationally believe that there is such a thing as truth, let alone decide what it is?

Questions for Evolutionist, #2 How is the DNA Code originate?

How id the DNA Code originate?

The code is a sophisticated language system with letters and words where the meaning of the words is unrelated to the chemical properties of the letters- just as the information on this page is not a product of chemical properties of ink (or pixels on a screen). What other coding system has existed without intelligent design? How did the DNA coding systems arise without it being created?

Works well with others

There are things that are never separated from salvation; things that show the person to be in a state of salvation, and which will end in eternal salvation. And the things that accompany salvation, are better things than ever any dissembler or apostate enjoyed. The works of love, done for the glory of Christ, or done to his saints for Christ's sake, from time to time, as God gives occasion, are evident marks of a man's salvation; and more sure tokens of saving grace given, than the enlightening and tastings spoken of before. No love is to be reckoned as love, but working love; and no works are right works, which flow not from love to Christ.

Hebrews 6:9-10

 ⁹ Even though we speak like this, dear friends, we are convinced of better things in your case—the things that have to do with salvation. ¹⁰ God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.

The First Principles

I finished up the nature of truth. I will begin a series on the First Principles.
First principles are the foundation of knowledge. Without them nothing could be know. Even coherence-ism uses the first principle of non-contradiction to test the coherence of its system. Realism affirms that first principles apply to the real world. First principles undeniably apply to reality. The very denial that first principles apply to reality uses first principles in the denial.

Do all scientists believe in naturalistic evolution? Why or why not?

I will start with the definition of Naturalism:
A belief denying that an event or object has a supernatural significance; specifically, the idea that scientific laws are adequate to account for all phenomena.

They are scientists that believe that God created earth and science.
They are some scientists that see complex structure of flagella in bacteria appears so complex that it must have a maker.
They are many scientists that cannot accept that principle because this idea falls outside the realm of naturalism.
People are surprised when they learn that Johannes Kepler, one of the founders of astronomy, said that science was "thinking God's thought after Him."
Many fathers of scientific disciplines, such namely, Bacon, Newton, Kepler, Galileo, Pascal, Boyle, Dalton, Linnaeus, Mendel, Maxwell, and Kelvin were Bible-believing Christians. They are many historians and philosophers of science have recognized that the existence of modern science had its origins in a culture at least nominally committed to a biblical worldview.

Questions for evolutionists, #1 (How did life originate?)

How did life originate?

Evolutionist Professor Paul Davies admitted, "Nobody knows how a mixture of lifeless chemicals spontaneously organized themselves into the first living cell." Andrew Knoll, professor of biology, Harvard said, "we don't really know how life originated on this planet". A minimal cell needs several hundred proteins. Even if every atom in the universe were an experiment with all the correct amino acids present for every possible molecular vibration in the supposed evolutionary age of the universe, not even one average-sized functional protein would form. So how did life with hundreds of proteins originate just by chemistry without intelligent design?

The debate is here, some ways of explaining

I have an hard time understanding Hebrew 6:4-8 so I will talk about what it could mean.
People have debates on what these passages really mean. I will explain that these words could mean.
1) It refers to Christians losing their salvation.
2) It is a hypothetical argument to warn immature Hebrew Christians (Hebrews 5:11-14)  that they must progress to maturity (Hebrews 6:1)  or else experience divine discipline Hebrews (Hebrews 7-8).
3) It refers to professing Christians whose apostasy proves that their faith was not genuine (1 John 2:19).
This view sees chapters 3-4 as a warning based on the rebellion of the Jews in the desert.
As Isreal could not enter the promise land after spying out the land and tasting its fruit so the professing Hebrew Christians would not be able to repent if they adamantly turned against "the light" they had received. According to this view, such expressions as "shared in the Holy Spirit", and "enlightened" indicate that such a persons had come over the influence of God's pact blessings and had professed to turn from darkness to light but were in danger of a public and final rejection of Christ, proving they had never been regenerated (Hebrews 10:26-31).

Hebrews 6:4-8

⁴ It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, ⁵ who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age ⁶ and who have fallen away, to be brought back to repentance. To their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace. ⁷ Land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is farmed receives the blessing of God. ⁸ But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless and is in danger of being cursed. In the end it will be burned.

We can't grow from only our knowledge and needs hope

We need to have a good foundation in Christ. It is good to know the basics but we must mature and know the deep things of God. The believer in Jesus needs to become a mature believer and stand with the help of the Lord.
People can brag about how good they are but the glory should belong to the Lord. The growth in that person life is a gift from the Lord. We must read the Bible and ask the Lord to teach us the deep meanings of the Bible.
The Bible is the Word of God. When a person reads the Bible, they will understand God.
The problem in most Bible-believing, Christian based churches are that many churches don't have a deep understanding of God;therefore, they follow the culture, instead of the Lord.
The church needs to focus on the Lord.
The context of Hebrew 6:3 was written to the Jewish believers in Jesus, that they need to grow in the knowledge of Jesus.
If the Jewish person wasn't proactive in searching the Lord then they were big infants. God will give them the power and the non-Jews to grow. It is a gift from the Lord but we must accept it.

Hebrews 6:3

 And God permitting, we will do so.

We need to grow in knowledge

Hebrews 6:1-2 says, "Therefore let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God, instruction about cleansing rites, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment."
The believers of Jesus needs have basic knowledge of the Bible and knows the deep teachings of the Bible.
When a baby is born, the baby feeds on milk but when that baby grows, the baby will go up to be an adult.
There needs to be a spiritual growth in every believer. 
The issue in many churches are that many believers are unhealthy. They don't know the Bible or practice the teachings of Christ.
The believers are saved by faith but the actions are prove that Jesus remains in the believer.
A person needs to do a spiritual work-out with the Holy Spirit and the Bible.
 

Good knowledge is power

We always hear that knowledge is power. I need to add another word to that sentence. Good knowledge is power.
The book of Hebrews was written for the Jews but non-Jewish people can learn from this book when they follow the Lord Jesus.
Spiritual laziness is not just a problem with non-Jewish but with the believers in Yesua that are Jewish.
Hebrews 5:11-14 says, "We have much to say about this, but it is hard to make it clear to you because you no longer try to understand.  In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food!  Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil."
Everyday, the Jewish believers needed to have read the Bible and apply the lessons but they were not.
The author of this book rebuked the people. 
The good news is that if a person fails, God will forgive that person. The author wanted the Jewish believers to repent and begin a workout program with the Bible, so they would be strong.
We will all fail but God is here to encourage us.
