LIFE: The Heavens

Psalms89:5-11 NASB

5.The heavens will praise Your wonders, O LORD ; Your faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones.
6.For who in the skies is comparable to the LORD ? Who among the sons of the mighty is like the LORD,
7.A God greatly feared in the council of the holy ones, And awesome above all those who are around Him?
8.O LORD God of hosts, who is like You, O mighty LORD ? Your faithfulness also surrounds You. 9.You rule the swelling of the sea ; When its waves rise, You still them.
10.You Yourself crushed Rahab like one who is slain ; You scattered Your enemies with Your mighty arm.
11.The heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours; The world and all it contains, You have founded them.


Psalms 19:1-6 NASB

1.The heavens are telling of the glory of God ; And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands.
2.Day to day pours forth speech, And night to night reveals knowledge.
3.There is no speech, nor are there words ; Their voice is not heard.
4.Their line has gone out through all the earth, And their utterances to the end of the world. In them He has placed a tent for the sun,
5.Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber ; It rejoices as a strong man to run his course.
6.Its rising is from one end of the heavens, And its circuit to the other end of them; And there is nothing hidden from its heat.

Psalms 108:4-5 NASB


4.For Your lovingkindness is great above the heavens, And Your truth reaches to the skies.
5.Be exalted, O God, above the heavens, And Your glory above all the earth.



Isaiah 13:13 NASB
13.Therefore I will make the heavens tremble, And the earth will be shaken from its place At the fury of the LORD of hosts In the day of His burning anger.

.

Isaiah 34:1-4 NASB
God's Wrath against Nations
1.Draw near, O nations, to hear ; and listen, O peoples ! Let the earth and all it contains hear, and the world and all that springs from it.
2.For the LORD'S indignation is against all the nations, And His wrath against all their armies ; He has utterly destroyed them, He has given them over to slaughter.
3.So their slain will be thrown out, And their corpses will give off their stench, And the mountains will be drenched with their blood.
4.And all the host of heaven will wear away, And the sky will be rolled up like a scroll ; All their hosts will also wither away As a leaf withers from the vine, Or as one withers from the fig tree.


Isaiah 42:5-8 NASB
5.Thus says God the LORD, Who created the heavens and stretched them out, Who spread out the earth and its offspring, Who gives breath to the people on it And spirit to those who walk in it,
6."I am the LORD, I have called You in righteousness, I will also hold You by the hand and watch over You, And I will appoint You as a covenant to the people, As a light to the nations,
7.To open blind eyes, To bring out prisoners from the dungeon And those who dwell in darkness from the prison .
8."I am the LORD, that is My name ; I will not give My glory to another, Nor My praise to graven images.

Psalms 2:12 KJV
12.Kiss the Son, lest he be angry , and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

HEALTH: GMO and G+O+D

I am going to address an issue that is an assault on the health of the population of our entire country. GMOs

What's a GMO? (This quote is from ....................http://www.responsibletechnology.org/)

"A GMO (genetically modified organism) is the result of a laboratory process of taking genes from one species and inserting them into another in an attempt to obtain a desired trait or characteristic, hence they are also known as transgenic organisms. This process may be called either Genetic Engineering (GE) or Genetic Modification (GM); they are one and the same."



It has been said that GMO can also stand for God move over.

Quotes from responsibletechnology.org
"Genetic engineering is completely different from traditional breeding and carries unique risks."

"In traditional breeding it is possible to mate a pig with another pig to get a new variety, but is not possible to mate a pig with a potato or a mouse. Even when species that may seem to be closely related do succeed in breeding, the offspring are usually infertile—a horse, for example, can mate with a donkey, but the offspring (a mule) is sterile."

"With genetic engineering, scientists can breach species barriers set up by nature. For example, they have spliced fish genes into tomatoes. The results are plants (or animals) with traits that would be virtually impossible to obtain with natural processes, such as crossbreeding or grafting."

What combinations have been tried?
"It is now possible for plants to be engineered with genes taken from bacteria, viruses, insects, animals or even humans. Scientists have worked on some interesting combinations:

• Spider genes were inserted into goat DNA, in hopes that the goat milk would contain spider web protein for use in bulletproof vests.
• Cow genes turned pigskins into cowhides.
• Jellyfish genes lit up pigs' noses in the dark.
• Artic fish genes gave tomatoes and strawberries tolerance to frost.
• Potatoes that glowed in the dark when they needed watering.
• Human genes were inserted into corn to produce spermicide.
  
• Current field trials include:
• Corn engineered with human genes (Dow)
• Sugarcane engineered with human genes (Hawaii Agriculture Research Center)
• Corn engineered with jellyfish genes (Stanford University)
• Tobacco engineered with lettuce genes (University of Hawaii)
• Rice engineered with human genes (Applied Phytologics)
• Corn engineered with hepatitis virus genes (Prodigene)
  
  Currently Commercialized GM Crops in the U.S.:
  (Number in parentheses represents the estimated percent that is genetically modified.)
  Soy (91%)
  Cotton (88%)
  Canola (80-85%)
  Corn (85%)
  Hawaiian papaya (more than 50%)
  Alfalfa, zucchini and yellow squash (small amount)
  Tobacco (Quest® brand)"

I try to avoid all soy products. That's no easy task. I don't use canola oil (knowingly). But hey! Corn? I love corn products! Well this is certainly a problem.

Well, you can see that this is a huge undertaking and so far I have only scratched the surface.

"and God saw that it was good."

Genesis 1:11-12 NASB

11.Then God said, "Let the earth sprout vegetation : plants yielding seed, and fruit trees on the earth bearing fruit after their kind with seed in them"; and it was so.
12.The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit with seed in them, after their kind ; and God saw that it was good.

Gen. 1:24-25 NASB

24.Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind : cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth after their kind "; and it was so.
25.God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind ; and God saw that it was good.

Gen. 1:27 NASB

27.God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

GEN. 1:31 NASB

31.God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

Well, God said that what He made was "very good" but man wants to be god. Who can fathom the sickness and ill health being brought upon the human race by these mad scientists?
