It is Just Pure Chance (Part XIII)

For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.

Note the absoluteness of the verse; however, for the promises to blossom and bear fruit, childlike faith must dominate. Matthew 18:2-3:

2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,

3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

The same procedure by which a child of God is born again is utilized to convert negative circumstances. It’s true that circumstances must be "born again." The redemption procedure is noted in Romans 10:9-10:

9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Circumstances are converted by a child of God when they believe on the particular promise of God and make confession with the mouth. Verses like the following are part of the bedrock of supernatural solutions:

• Matthew 19:26:
  But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
• Philippians 4:6-7:
  6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
  7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
• Romans 8:28:
  And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
• I Thessalonians 5:18:
  In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

The promises of God are written to the childlike. Have you been born again—born a second time, this time of the Spirit? Are you ready for the solution to all of life’s troubles? Would you like to have all of your sin and shame forgiven and forgotten, and have the power to live for Christ? GodSaidManSaid has good news for you. Today is your day of salvation.

Now for today’s subject.

GOD SAID, Genesis 2:21-22:

21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

GOD SAID, I Thessalonians 5:18:

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

GOD SAID, Zechariah 14:2:

For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

GOD SAID, Mark 9:44:

Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

GOD SAID, Job 20:11:

His bones are full of the sin of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust.

GOD SAID, Acts 15:20:

But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.

MAN SAID: According to Victor Stenger from the Free Inquiry, “…But it is fair to say that there is not a single shred of evidence that demands that we hypothesize that the universe was created, and we can now provisionally understand how all we are and all we know could have come about by chance.”

Now, THE RECORD. How marvelous! God has given us His inerrant Word, surely the explanation of our condition and the map by which to navigate fulfilled life, and even the very doorway to glorious, eternal life. It is the source of all foundational truth. His Word is the creator of faith by which its lovers prosper. Around the globe, hundreds of thousands stand to speak in the name of the LORD, but unfortunately, the dominant majority have polluted God’s Word by adding to and taking away. God speaks to religious leaders in the last book of the Old Testament. Malachi 2:8-9:

8 But ye are departed out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble at the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the LORD of hosts.

9 Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as ye have not kept my ways, but have been partial in the law.

It is a sorry state when you recognize that the greatest enemies of the Cross of Christ function out of the pulpits and seminaries.

God’s Word, found in the majority-text Authorized King James Version of the Holy Bible, is true and righteous altogether. Welcome to GodSaidManSaid. This is feature article 620 that once again proves the full inerrancy of God’s Word. All of these features are archived on this site in text and streaming audio for your edification and as ammunition in the battle for the souls of men. Use the “Tell-A-Friend” feature above to send a GodSaidManSaid subject to someone you love. Keep in mind that every subject is downloadable to your iPod at no charge. Thank you for coming. We are honored by your presence. GodSaidManSaid speaks this blessing over you: May God’s face shine upon you. May His angel encamp about you and may He keep you in a blessable place.

We need to be certain of the accuracy of Holy Writ. In this life, we will be required to move against the grain daily. Our Bible-based actions will, in many ways, alienate us from friends and family, damage careers, even bring persecution. I must be sure of its accuracy.

There is a mighty soul-winning series on GodSaidManSaid called "It Is Just Pure Chance". Two foundational chapters from the series follow:

When confronted by the staggering truths of the scriptures that shake carnal man’s confidence in his darkness, he scrambles for a defensible place. When the literal host of glorious truths of the Bible, miracles and all, are brought forth—truths recorded thousands of years before man’s vaunted science begins to understand them; truths that strain any rational challenge—skeptics often write them off to coincidence or pure chance.

This is a new feature in the ongoing “"Pure Chance" series. Each issue we address will be followed with a link to a GodSaidManSaid article or two that elucidates the subject. Get ready, saints, for a little Holy Book shock and awe. Your childlike faith has not been misplaced, no, not one iota of it.

Is it just “pure chance” that scientists are flummoxed by the discovery of male DNA in the female brain—which is supposed to be impossible—and is it just “pure chance” that God created the woman out of Adam’s rib as a helpmeet to Adam, and that the Word of God also declares the woman’s desire would be to her husband? (Science Flummoxed By What Was Found in Female Brains)

Is it just “pure chance” that Numbers 11:1 reads, in part, “and when the people complained, it displeased the LORD: and the LORD heard it; and his anger was kindled;” and that the neuroscientist now says that complaining turns brains to mush? (Complaining Turns Brains to Mush)

Is it just “chance” that God said He would gather all nations together against Israel at the coming battle of Armageddon, and that the nations are now lining up? (Twenty-One Signs of Doomsday (Update XXIII, The Nations are Getting Ready))

Is it just a “coincidence” that Jesus speaks of eternal fire and damnation and says “where their worm dieth not,” and now deep sea explorers have discovered worms up to 8 feet long -- popularly called "Hell Worms" -- that endure unimaginable heat? (The Worms From Hell)

Is it just "pure chance" that around 4,000 years ago, the Bible declares that a man’s sin will follow him to his grave and leave a lasting testimony in his bones and that now paleontologists testify that venereal disease -- such as syphilis -- leave tell-tale lesions in the bones of the guilty dead?

Is it just a “coincidence” that man’s disregard for God’s prohibitions against sexual relationships outside of the marriage bed has showed up as a pandemic of sexually transmitted diseases, from chlamydia to AIDS, and that 70 million U.S. citizens have sexually acquired warts and lesions on their genitals? (Literal Bones; Sin Bones; Legal Mechanisms and Pandemics Series)

The results of casting off the Words of God are just simply deadly, but to those who obey, it is life and life more abundantly.

God’s Word is true and righteous altogether, surely a place to build your life.

GOD SAID, Genesis 2:21-22:

21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

GOD SAID, I Thessalonians 5:18:

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

GOD SAID, Zechariah 14:2:

For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

GOD SAID, Mark 9:44:

Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

GOD SAID, Job 20:11:

His bones are full of the sin of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust.

GOD SAID, Acts 15:20:

But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.

MAN SAID: According to Victor Stenger from the Free Inquiry, “…But it is fair to say that there is not a single shred of evidence that demands that we hypothesize that the universe was created, and we can now provisionally understand how all we are and all we know could have come about by chance.”

Now you have THE RECORD.
