The Effect Of Evolutionary Hypothesis

The theory of evolution gave a supposed intellectual base for discrediting scripture. Here we have an albeit pseudo scientific system that undermined the bibles teaching on creation. It acknowledges no reason to believe in a God of Creation. In most evolutionist's opinion, everything there is, is meaningless, pointless, accidental chance. 

This invariably leads to the freedom to engage in licentious practises without "absolute" moral restraints.

Aldous Huxley's thinking is typical of these thought patterns. (All gods are homemade, and it is we who pull their strings, and so, give them the power to pull ours) 

With evolutionary thought discrediting the story of creation, the church found itself with two options, both of which have been used to some degree. On the one hand, a confrontational attack on the theory of evolution. The other, a liberalisation of scripture in order to accommodate evolutionary hypothesis. 

As a result we find some Christians that accept evolution as the way God created, (contrary to scripture) and others reject the theory out of hand. (Let God be true and every man a liar). 

With pro evolution propaganda regularly extolled by the secular media, doubts were implanted as to the authority of scripture. Evolutionary hypothesis has been promoted to such a degree, it is assumed to be fact. 

Taken together with the onslaught of liberal theology, the authority of the Holy Bible is attacked and in many cases undermined.

It can be looked upon as simply a book of historical academic interest and as such, its teachings are not taken too seriously.

It is also used as a tool, (because of its historical significance) to create an illusion for a meaning to life.

A Product of Chance in a Godless, Meaningless, Existence? Why? How? What for? "The Fool has said in his heart, there is no God." 

 ... ... ...

Despite the constant attacks, the bible inspired by God Himself, stands as the accurate answer to life. Never disproved. It was true, Is true, and Will remain true. "Without God was nothing made."

"To try to live a righteous life in our own strength, is like throwing raw meat in to a cage of half starved lions. It can't be done."

Find the bible a dry book? Try reading it when you are Saved and Spirit filled.

The bible is so liberalised in many churches that its teachings have been watered down to the point of being innocuous. 

Such views as: "the Bible contains truth," to simply being a "religious truth" with no foundation in hard facts, have become commonplace. Faith is seen as an "upper story leap" without a rational base. 

Many churches that subscribe to this belief, call upon their "traditional" significance as a means to justify their credibility. The nominal Christian may attend church regularly, partake in it's services, even be a regular communicant member, but sadly few there are that ever come to the realisation that they can personally know Jesus Christ as Saviour & Lord. 

Services are usually quite beautiful in themselves with weekly recitations of  "The Apostles Creed," and a "General Confession" of sins, almost mandatory. Great emphasis is also placed on the Holy Communion and Baptism. (Christening)  However, again sadly, they usually stop short of asking their congregations to accept personally Jesus Christ in to their hearts. 

This is a great shame for unlike some modern evangelical churches, the traditional, well known (if now a days often modified and altered) aspects of worship, could be harmonised with "coming to know Christ as personal saviour," with out too much alteration of the form of worship. The effect truly "Born Agains" would have on an hitherto dead church, could have astronomical implications. As liberal Christian values have undermined even dogmatic traditional divisions to such a degree, there is no reason why liberals should object to a congregation personally asking the Lord Jesus in to their hearts and lives. Or is there???

The die hard Anglo Catholic traditionalists (usually) often resist incorporating (low church) evangelism in to their worship. Sadly on the day of accountability before the most high God, the devastating words, "I never knew you," could well be as a consequence of never being taught how by the very institution that professes to be God's church. See: Personal Testimony.

"Christians" with only a superficial basis of belief, are in danger of becoming flexible and alterable vessels that can be manipulated to accord with current modern thinking. In many respects they are like a ship on the ocean without a rudder and susceptible to whatever wind of doctrine blows their way. 

Bible Believing Evangelical Churches

Fundamentalist, bible believing churches are often looked upon as churches for the simpletons. Whereas in actual fact, it is in these churches (not including the exploiters of God's word purely for financial gain) that the Holy Spirit is most often found, where miracles happen, and where congregations come to know Jesus Christ personally and thus understand the true meaning of life. 

Churches that do hold to scriptural truth, usually attract the type of person who is seriously looking for answers to life. 

Where do we stand?

We at Rahab's church are quite certain of our ministry and thank God for it. It could be reasoned; whilst acknowledging that: "The Lord is No Respecter of Persons," our blessed and most merciful Lord is especially interested in the very people that are often looked down upon, (publicly anyway) by seemingly respectable church goers, and society in general.

Our actual "Statement of Belief" can be found on our HOME page.

 The Prostitute & Sex Worker 

The prostitute is usually well versed in seeing through hypocrisy by the nature of her profession. 

Even so, Beware! 

Without wishing to, "throw the baby out with the bathwater," there are within this world today, many false teachers (as prophesised in Scripture) that have very cleverly introduced false (signs and wonders) doctrine in to their churches. With apparent miracles happening, it is very easy to become side tracked from the true path. Not all miracles are of God. The great counterfeiter, Satan is well able to manifest as an angel of light and can fool "Even The Very Elect." Any church that does not glorify our Risen Saviour Jesus Christ first and foremost, should be treated with extreme caution. There is no other way of salvation except through our Risen Lord.

Creation Science

Scientific evidence which supports creation is becoming better known. People are really questioning evolutionary beliefs. Such advocates of creation science, i.e. Ken Ham & John Mackie (to name but two) are often given air time on Christian TV channels. 

Many technical, and also easily understood books on the subject, are available from good Christian book shops. (We also carry links at the foot of this page to just some of the creationist websites that are available. Our own web page: evolution? ) 

Whilst creation science is making substantial inroads, a great deal of damage has already been done. Years of indoctrination in to accepting the theory, take some undoing. 

Man who has been persuaded to accept contrary teaching to God's word, has reaped the fruits of his actions. Marriage break-ups, lawlessness, promiscuity, to name but a few. (See also Bible Prophecy ) The Bible says: "The fool has said in his heart, there is no God." 

Believe in God, even if He's not there. Otherwise we will have Anarchy

It must be that a prostitute in her unsaved state, is living truer to the belief, (everything is chance) than the society which condemns her for her profession. For on what absolute basis for truth do they call, to justify their actions? Old testament law? To assume a degree of credibility they might draw on history, or quote (which the media often does) some well known personage, or authority figure, but ultimately, consensus of opinion is all they have. 

We do not subscribe to the reasoning that Christianity should be believed, in principle anyway, because society generally functions better with a belief in God. That is just a fringe benefit. If you like, using the patent without paying royalties to the patent holder.

If there was not a god, most of us would still wish for some form of order in society, and be desirous that it be fair and just. But, ultimately, at the bottom, there would be no escaping the fact: If everything there is was simply a product of chance, why bother to march straight forward as if life as a whole makes sense? The only standard of right and wrong, would be, consensus of opinion. Hence Humanism. The modern youth who are without Christ, are only to aware of this fact, despite society trying to blind them to it.

The child of God is not first a British or American subject. (or any other country) He is not a sanctified patriot but one who's sympathies have broken all parochial bounds, and who's aims beat in unison with God's own heart. ... Oswald Chambers

The Simplicity of Salvation through Christ

 A stumbling block to the intellectual

WE CAN BE UNDER GRACE, NOT THE LAW through our SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST. 

The Old Testament law, and indeed Christ's Sermon on the Mount, show us what sin is. The Bible explains it better than I can.  

"Except through law I should never have become acquainted with sin. For example, I should never have known what it was to covet, if the law had not said, 'Thou shalt not covet.' Through that commandment sin found its opportunity and produced in me all kinds of wrong desires. (Reverse Psychology?) In the absence of law, sin is a dead thing." ... Romans 7: 7-9 NEB   

"Before this faith came, (faith in Jesus) we were close prisoners in the custody of law, (The Ten Commandments) pending the revelation of faith. Thus the law was a kind of tutor in charge of us until Christ should come, when we should be justified through faith; and now that faith has come, the tutor's charge is at an end." (Belief in our Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour & Lord). Galatians 3: 23-25 NEB  ... 

The law shows our un worthiness and inability to live up to God's perfect standard and our need for a saviour.

"Now all the words of the law (The Ten Commandments plus other laws) are, addressed, as we know, to those who are within the pale of the law, so that no one may have anything to say in self-defence, but the whole world may be exposed to the judgement of God. For no human being can be justified in the sight of God for having kept the law: law brings only the consciousness of sin." (How we know what sin is) ... Romans 3: 19-20 NEB

Christ bought us freedom from the curse of the law by becoming for our sake an accursed thing: Galatians: 3:13 KJV 

"If we could be saved by keeping the law, then Christ died needlessly."

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2: 8-9 KJV

A gloomy picture? 

No. Indeed not. Many churches still hold true to biblical values. People are becoming saved every day. The Holy Spirit of God is far greater than mankind's ability to suppress it. He is still active in our dark world thank God, otherwise we would have absolute chaos. We war not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities and powers, the dark rulers of this age. 

The fact is: God Loves Prostitutes. He loves Sex Workers of any description. As with all people, He hates sin, but loves the sinner. Sin condemns us, but Salvation through the shed blood of Jesus His Son, makes us clean in His sight. Eternal life is offered to you to. Will you accept God's free gift now? CLICK
