The principle of existential causality

All contingent beings need a cause. For a contingent being is something that is but could not be. But since it has the possibility not to to exist, then it does not account for its own existence. That is, in itself there is no basis explaining why it exists rather than does not exist. It literally has nothing (non-being) to ground it. But non-being cannot ground or cause anything (5). Only something can produce spmething.
Therefore, this Necessary Being is personal, rational and moral in a necessary way, not in a contingent way.

Adaptation and science, Part One

Adaptation: A physical trait or behavior due to inherited characteristics that gives an organism the ability to survive in a given environment.

Evolutionist often look at a characteristic of an organism and assume that it was produced through a series of changes and call it an adaptation to a given environment. To an evolutionist, legs on tetrapods are an adaptation that arose as a fish's fins became adapted to crawling in a shallow stream, providing some form of advantage. The fins with more bones were better adapted to a life partially lived on the land. Fins that developed bones attached to a pectoral girdle gave an advantage to those individuals that wandered onto land to find food or avoid predators. The problems with this scenario are in the amount of  time such a change would require and the lack of a mechanism to cause the change.
Evolutionary biologists assume, based on geologic interpretation, that there have been billions of years for this process to occur. But if long ages did not exist, the hypothesis can't be true.
The other requirement, a mechanism for change, is also assumed to exist-even though it has never been observed. Natural selection tends to delete information from the population. If natural selection is the mechanism that explains the successive adaptation in the fish fin example, it must provide new genetic information. To produce the new bones in the fins requires an orchestration of biologic processes.
The bones don't just have to be present; they must develop at the right time in the embryo, have their shape and size predetermined by the DNA sequence, be attached to the correct tendons, ligaments and blood vessels, attach to the bones of the pectoral girdle and so on. The amount of information required for this seemingly transformation can't be provided by a process that generally deletes information from the genome.

The old and the new

Jesus came to fulfill the Old Testament. The Old Testament was good but the law of God shows that we need a Savior and Jesus is the Savior. He is God and he fulfilled the law of God.
I think Hebrews 8:13 goes well with Matthew 5:17-20. When I read the Old Testament, I realize that Jesus is the answer and we need to surrender to him.

Matthew 5:17-20

 ¹⁷ “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. ¹⁸ For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. ¹⁹ Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. ²⁰ For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.

 

Hebrews 8:13

 By calling this covenant “new,” he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear.

The negative principle of modality

A Necessary Being is by definition a mode (kind) of being that cannot be. That is, by its very mode (modality), it must be. It cannot come to be or cease to be. But to be caused means to come to be.
Hence, a Necessary Being cannot be caused. For what comes to be is not necessary.
But a Necessary Being cannot be contingent(i.e., non-necessary) in its being which would be a contradiction (no. 3).

The meaning of Speciation

Speciation: the process of change in a population that produces distinct populations which rarely naturally interbreed due to geographic isolation or other factors.

Speciation is observable and fits into the category of operation science. Speciation has never been observed to turn one kind of animal into another. Lions (Panthera leo) and tigers (Panthera tigris) are both members of the cat kind, but they are considered different species primarily due to their geographic isolation. However, it is possible to mate the two. Ligers (male lion and female tiger) and tigons (male tigers and female lions) are produced (with varying degrees of fertility). These two species came from the original cat kind that would have been present on Noah's Ark.

Hope in life

And they — Who are under this covenant; shall not teach — That is, shall not any more have need to teach; every man his neighbor, &c., saying, Know the Lord — Though in other respects they will have need to teach each other to their lives’ end; yet they shall not need to teach each other the knowledge of the Lord; for this they shall possess; yea, all real Christians, who believe in Jesus as the true Messiah, with a living faith, a faith working by love, shall know me — Even as a pardoning God, (Hebrews 8:12,) and therefore savingly; from the least to the greatest — From the babe in Christ, the little children spoken of by St. John, whose sins are forgiven them; unto such as are of full age; strong in the Lord, and deeply experienced in his ways. See 1 John 2:12-14. Or, by the least may be meant the poor and despised, and by the greatest, persons of wealth, authority, and power. In this order, the saving knowledge of God ever did, and ever will proceed; not from the greatest to the least, but from the least to the greatest; from the poor to the rich; from the low to the high; that no flesh may glory in his presence. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness — I will pardon and accept them through my Son, in consequence of their repentance and faith in him; or, I will justify them, and give them peace with myself, and thus will make them wise unto salvation, truly holy and happy. Observe, reader, justification and peace with God is the root of all true knowledge of God and conformity to him. This, therefore, is God’s method; First, a sinner, being brought to true repentance toward God, and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, is pardoned; then he knows God as gracious and merciful; then God’s laws are written on his heart; he is God’s, and God is his. And their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more — Namely, so as to punish them. In the Hebrew of Jeremiah, this passage runs thus; I will forgive their iniquity, and will remember their sin no more. Probably the apostle translated the prophet’s words freely, to show, that, under the new covenant, every kind of sin is freely forgiven to the truly penitent and believing, which was not the case under the former covenant.

Hebrews 8:11-12

 ¹¹ No longer will they teach their neighbor,
    or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’
because they will all know me,
    from the least of them to the greatest.
¹² For I will forgive their wickedness
    and will remember their sins no more.”
