Monkey See — Monkey Do
By Pastor Michael Martin,

Television and movies are training each new generation in lust, unfaithfulness, and violence. By repeatedly saying the things over and over the kids cannot help but be influenced by the television. How often do you see a heterosexual couple on commercials any more? How often do you see LGBTQ couples on television commercials these days. All the Baptist sitcoms not include men and wom- Church en that violate the very principles of life.

What is the very basic principle of life? One man and one woman conceiving children. What a twisted reality we not live in! Let me show you what Gods Word says.

Romans 1:22-32 “Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.”

That list covers all the perversion of the day and this is not the only list of these things. It all revolves around the hatred of God. “How dare He give Me rules to live by!” says some great intellect who thinks much more highly of his knowledge than the knowledge of God. He actually thinks God is a myth and that people actually evolved into the complex beings of today. “Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.”

If you actually stop and think about it, it is much easier to believe in God and Creation than to believe in Evolution. Just think about the complexity of the eye. The main parts of the human eye are the cornea, iris, pupil, aqueous humor, lens, vitreous humor, retina, and optic nerve. The cornea is the clear outer part of the eyes focusing system located at the front of the eye. The iris is the colored part of the eye that regulates the amount of light entering the eye. The lens is a clear part of the eye behind the iris that helps to focus light, or an image, on the retina. The eye percieves images upside down, but the brain turns them right side up before the image reaches the part of the brain what recognizes the image.

Can you honestly believe something as complex as the eye actually evolved? What was first? Did the lense develop first or was it the iris? It could have been the cornea, or the optic nerve, but what would hold any of these things in place? Think, man! Don’t just repeat the foolishness of the World around you. Study, research, but above all, THINK for yourself! Do not foolish repeat statements made by people who hate God and will say anything to discredit Him! “Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.”

They try to change God into a fairytale. They want you to believe that everything came from nothing. That nothing exploded and created perfectly round planets and stars. They want you to believe you came from a pile of stagnant slime and developed from a one celled creature into a multi-celled creature. Do you even know or care about the fact that there has never been a one celled creature that had turned into a two celled creature? Do you know that each time a one celled creature reproduces, it splits and becomes its own creature?

The one exception to that rule is a baby growing in the womb. For the first 12 hours after conception, the fertilized egg remains a single cell. After 30 hours or so, it divides from one cell into two. Some 15 hours later, the two cells divide to become four. And at the end of 3 days, the fertilized egg cell has become a berry-like structure made up of 16 cells. After roughly nine months all the systems: brain, eyes, lungs, intestines, the ability to eat, digest and evacuate ate all present and when born, the baby is a full formed little person just like his or her mother and father.

And before you say it, I know that some are deformed at birth, but is that Gods fault that man has altered his sperm or the mother altered her egg by introducing drugs or other impurities into their system? Man has choices. He needs to make them instead of being that man who simply copies what others say.. .Monkey see-Monkey do.
