Keep marriage pure
To the Editor:
I have read with interest the thoughts that have been expressed on the subject of marriage between one man and one woman.
About 3,900 years ago there were five cities named Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboiim, and Zoar that embraced the homosexual lifestyle. Lot and his daughters fled to Zoar and therefore Zoar was spared from destruction, but the four cities and the very productive grassland were destroyed.
Hebrews 13:4 states "Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed be kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral."
Could it be that Jesus will soon be coming for his bride?

Darwin saw the error of his ways
To the Editor:
In Matthew 24 the disciples asked Jesus "What will be the sign of your coming?"
Jesus said, "Watch out that no one deceives you."
After reading from the works of Charles Darwin, we find him to be a somewhat different person than the secular humanist intellectuals portray him. That is because they deceive us.
Charles Robert Darwin (1809-1882) was a British naturalist. He is called the father of evolution. He had this to say abut his theory of evolution: "To suppose that the eye with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting differing amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selections, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree."
Still addressing his theory of evolution, Darwin said this: "Why then is not every geological formation and every stratum full of such intermediate links? Geology assuredly does not reveal any such finely graduated organic chain. And this, perhaps, is the most obvious and serious objection which can be brought against the theory. For I am well aware that scarcely a single point is discussed in this volume on which facts cannot be adduced." (Means no proof, no support, no evidence). He continued, "There is a grandeur in this view of life, having been originally breathed by the Creator."
After having written his volume, realizing he had been deceived, Charles Darwin said this: "I was a young man with unformed ideas. I threw out queries, suggestions, wondering all the time over everything and to my astonishment the ideas took like wildfire. People made a religion of them."
For months before his death, visitors to Darwin would often find him reading. When asked by a visitor what he was reading, he replied: "The Bible, still the Bible. The Royal Book, I call it. The holiness of God and the grandeur of this book. Christ Jesus and His salvation, is not that the best theme?"
It is enlightening to find that the man, Charles Darwin, who once authored the theory of evolution, saw his error and denounced the theory as false. Yet public schools persist in teaching this fallacy to our children.
Teacher, if you teach evolution to a child, you leave that child behind in ignorance, without the Biblical truth of Creation.
