“Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things” (2 Timothy 2:7).

Science was, at one time, a highly respected profession. Today, it seems that the fine line between beneficial science and science fiction has faded.

I was appalled a few years ago to read of mad scientists genetically tampering with spider DNA and that of goats to make the goat milk laden with extremely strong fibers. That sounded like a very bad idea, but it was touted as beneficial because the fibers could be used for bulletproof windows in banks and bulletproof vests.

Mad scientists have genetically modified much of our food in order to “improve” it. Is it any wonder people have so many food allergies? These “scientists” have a way of always making these experiments sound beneficial, but it’s never beneficial to attempt to improve upon God’s creation. Actually, these “improvements” have nothing to do with God at all but are straight from the evil depths of Satan’s plan to destroy humanity.

Recently, I read about artificial wombs. This is just one more abdominal step in scientific “advances.” God made the perfect way for babies to be created and nurtured. Adam was created as a man. He had all the necessary physical attributes to father children. Then Eve was taken from Adam’s body, and her body was specially designed to carry new life.

“And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living” (Genesis 3:20).

Humans cannot improve upon God’s creation. Throughout history, babies have been wonderful little people, and each one is unique.

“I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well” (Psalm 139:14).

There’s so much to wonder about when a woman becomes pregnant. “Will I have a boy or a girl?” The person growing inside the mother is either one or the other; it’s not a choice. “Will this child be tall or short, blue eyes or green, blond or brunette?” There’s so much to wonder about. Science has infringed upon that mystery. Now, tests can be done, and if you’re not happy with what science tells you about your baby, you can murder him or her. Never mind that what you killed was a human being or that the test may have been inaccurate. Never mind that God commands us not to kill.

“Thou shalt not kill” (Deuteronomy 5:17).

The word “kill” means a premeditated act against a human; murder. Let me say that all sins can be forgiven through faith in Jesus Christ. Once you’ve admitted you’ve sinned, repented, and humbly asked Him to forgive you, you are forgiven. Remember, though, repent means to turn away from. So, turn away from the sin of abortion, and ask Jesus to forgive you.

From 1973 through 2020, there have been more than 63,000,000 babies killed by abortion in the United States, which works out to 2,548 per day. This act is nothing less than the abominable act of human sacrifice. Is it any wonder that God has withdrawn His blessings on this nation?

When the Kingdom of Israel divided into the Northern Kingdom (known as Israel) and the Southern Kingdom (known as Judah), the Northern Kingdom, led by King Ahab and Queen Jezebel, turned their back on God almighty, they embraced paganism, including human sacrifice. God is opposed to all human sacrifice, including children.

“There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer” (Deuteronomy 18:10-11).

“Pass through the fire” is describing the pagan practice of heating an idol until it was red hot, then putting your child in its arms to suffer an incredibly painful death. Don’t fool yourself; abortion rips a baby apart in a very painful death. There are many husbands and wives who are unable to have children; these people are willing to adopt a child. Instead of the murder of an innocent child, consider giving it up for adoption. By the way, the Northern Kingdom fell because of their turning against God.

On the other hand, mad scientists have come up with a new way to mock God. In an online article from The Economic Times entitled “World’s First Artificial Womb Facility is a Creepy Glimpse of Pregnancy in Future; See What it is,” we learn that a man named Hashem Al-Ghaili is a “science communicator and biotechnologist from Berlin” who invented “EctoLife.” This is an artificial womb that can grow around 30,000 babies per year. This abomination is the result of 50 years of research. The article proclaims, “You can use the ‘Elite Package,” which would let you engineer the embryo genetically before they implant it into an artificial womb. You can choose intelligence, height, strength, hair, eye color, etc., and avoid genetic diseases. Al-Ghaili says EctoLife is entirely powered by renewable energy and is the first artificial womb facility in the world.”

What a sad commentary on man’s abuse of God’s creation. Take a good look at yourself and try to figure out how different you would be if your parents had genetically altered you. I have plenty of imperfections, but it’s all a part of being me. You probably have some things you wish were different, but God doesn’t care if your hair is curly or straight or if your eyes are blue or brown. God is much more concerned that you’ve accepted Christ for salvation.

The above article also states, “The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that around 300,000 deaths happen due to pregnancy complications. EctoLife will help reduce human suffering and reduce C-sections. EctoLife will make C-sections and premature births history.” It says 300,000 deaths happen due to pregnancy complications but doesn’t seem to consider how many deaths happen because of abortion. As previously stated, the number is atrocious. This new wonder of modern science also takes away the joy of knowing a little human is growing inside and feeling the movement of life as that special little person begins to toss and turn.

Another online article, https://scienceandstuff.com/ectolife-artificial-wombs/ says this is still in the future, but they also say that, in 2017, “scientists” grew a lamb in a “biobag.” The article goes on to state that several lambs have been grown in a “biobag” and that Israeli “scientists have successfully grown mice embryos for 11 days. Now that’s something we all need; more mice. This is all very disturbing. Apparently, there is a process that must be followed in order to have your child grown in one of these EctoLife wombs. An egg of the mother and the sperm of the father are combined in a petri dish. “This would allow them to select only viable and genetically superior embryos.”

Is that scary? You bet it is. Sounds like something Hitler would endorse. “Al-Ghaili clarifies that genetically superior embryos are primarily those which are free from genetic issues that would result in miscarriage. However, he notes that the process could also be used to ‘screen for birth defects,’ as is already common practice in IVF treatments.” This sounds way too much like Hitler’s breeding program for a master race. Pure evil. The article proudly says that this also would allow parents to “genetically engineer the embryo before implanting it through CRISPR-Cas 9 gene editing.”

After reading about these things, any informed Christian should be reminded that the reason for God’s judgment of Noah’s flood was genetic tampering. Fallen angels mated with human women, creating the Nephilim.

“And it came to pass when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose” (Genesis 6:1-2).

The “sons of God” are the fallen angels, and “the daughters of men” are human women. Unfortunately, human interpretation led by Satanic influence has corrupted the meaning of this and opened wide the gate for more and more misunderstanding of Scripture. All of creation was infected with this genetic tampering and had to be destroyed in order to preserve God’s genetically pure creation. All things were genetically corrupted except Noah and his family.

“But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God” (Genesis 6:8-9).

Take heed of this passage. Keep yourself genetically pure and walk with God. Satan has poisoned and blinded humanity into believing a watered-down and purely fictional account of Genesis 6. Jesus Himself told us that the end times would be like the days of Noah.

“As it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man” (Luke 17:26).

The thing that distinguishes Noah’s time from any other time is genetically created monstrosities. Are the days of Noah here? I think they are.

As humanity moves farther away from God’s truth, they move closer to Satan’s lies. Brothers and sisters, the evil in this world is growing stronger. All the while, Christians willingly remain ignorant. Instead of honestly studying Scripture and believing what God wrote, it’s treated as something akin to Aesop’s Fables.

“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness” (2 Timothy 3:16).

I cannot stress enough that Scripture is God’s inspired word, and it must be read and studied as fact. Satan has inspired many pastors and seminaries to treat Scripture as a nice way to live but not to be taken as truth.

“But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them because they are spiritually discerned” (1 Corinthians 2:14).

Remember, you don’t need a diploma from a seminary in order to understand God’s word. You only need the Holy Spirit to lead you.

The Apostle Paul wrote letters to young pastors who needed guidance to continue preaching the pure word of God. In his letter to the young pastor, Timothy, he gave great advice that pastors of today would be smart to heed.

“O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen” (1 Timothy 6:20-21).

Be alert as to what your pastor teaches from the pulpit. Does he babble on as he teaches from a worldly perspective? For example, does he preach a prosperity or purpose-driven gospel? Or any other non-Biblical teachings? Study Scripture so you will recognize false teachings. Is he afraid to call sin, sin for fear of stepping on toes? Is he lax in teaching line upon line through Scripture in order to avoid controversial or non-politically correct subjects, thus protecting the tax-exempt status?

“For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little” (Isaiah 28:10).

Does he embrace science or “knowledge” that isn’t found in Scripture, such as evolution? If you’re sitting in a pew every Sunday listening to this nonsense, then you will never believe God’s word.

There’s a supernatural, paranormal, and unseen battle around us, and only Scripture will arm us for the battle. Paul’s letter to the Ephesians talks about the spiritual battle. This battle is manifesting all around us. Schools are no longer a place of learning but a place of indoctrination where perverted practices are accepted and applauded. They teach that a boy can choose to be a girl, and if you think you’re an animal, then you are one. Look into the mental disorder of furries, and you’ll be shocked. As evolution is taught as fact, we see the suicide rate increasing among young people. They don’t understand how much God loves them and what a blessing life is. The family unit is being mocked as same sex marriage is accepted as normal. Study Romans chapter 1 in order to see God’s judgment regarding rejecting Him as Creator. The battle is spiritual, and the weapons of war need to be spiritual.

“Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places” (Ephesians 6:11-12).

Learn each piece of God’s armor, and practice using it. This isn’t a joke, nor is it an allegory. Study Scripture, and don’t let denominational interpretations cloud your understanding of God’s truth.

We are nearing a time of God’s judgment. This time it will not be a worldwide flood, but His wrath will be violently poured out upon all who have rejected Him. This isn’t a secret, so nobody can claim ignorance. As you study Scripture, don’t skip Daniel’s prophecy regarding the end times, and don’t skip Revelation. The only way to avoid the evil of that day is to repent today and accept the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Everyone has sinned.

“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus” (Romans 3:23-24).

Only born-again Christians are forgiven.

We are living in the final days prior to the Rapture and God’s final judgment upon the God-rejecting people who choose to follow Satan. The signs and prophecies are being fulfilled quickly. Understand Genesis 6 and the reasons for God’s judgment, and you’ll understand that we are living in the days of Noah. Jesus is our only hope. Be like Noah and walk with God. Remain genetically pure. Share God’s truth with everyone you know. Time is getting short.

“And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh” (Luke 21:28).

Don’t live in fear, but walk in faith by the power of the Holy Spirit.

God bless you all,

If you’d like to be on my mailing list to receive the commentaries, just drop me an email and let me know.

“As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one” (Romans 3:10).

It’s so easy to see the sins and shortcomings of other people. If someone who professes to be a Christian doesn’t live up to our standards, we question their commitment to Christ. All the while, we go along, judging others and falling short of perfection in our own lives. Make no mistake, as Christians, we are to strive to rise above sin, but as Christians, we are assured forgiveness through Christ when we earnestly repent and ask Jesus for forgiveness. We need to listen to the urging of the Holy Spirit and recognize sin in our life and repent before pointing fingers at others. If we spend too much time judging the failures of others, we can become so filled with pride that we feel qualified to judge others.

How do we know what is and isn’t sin? We can start in the Old Testament and look at the Law of Moses. “Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster” (Galatians 3:24-25).

The Law was a schoolmaster and shows us how God feels about how we live. Christians need to study it to understand sin and see just how blessed we are that Jesus took our punishment. By human standards, we are pretty good people, but the Law exposes us as lost sinners in need of God’s grace. Through faith in Christ, our sins are forgiven. That doesn’t mean we are to continue in our sins so that God has the privilege of forgiving us more.

A beautiful example of the Law vs. Grace is found in John chapter 8. The Scribes and Pharisees were continually trying to trap Jesus. One day they brought a woman to Him who had committed a crime punishable by death under the Law. “And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, they say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?” (John 8:3-5). The Law did say she should be stoned, but it also said the man was to be stoned too. These Scribes and Pharisees seem to have had selective morals.

How many who read this are guilty of such a sin? God has very strong feelings against sexual sin. Homosexuality is also punishable by stoning, and Jesus taught us that if a man looks upon a woman with lust, he has committed a sin. The only acceptable sexual relations are within a one man/one woman marriage.

The woman who was brought to Jesus for condemnation must have been very repentant; she knew the Law condemned her, and she had been caught in sin and was worthy of death. What did Jesus do? Did He condemn her? He bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground. “So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her” (John 8:7).

The next time you gossip with a friend about someone, remember Jesus’ words. Gossip is a sin, and so you aren’t worthy of condemning others. Everybody sins, so we become numb to our own sin. By human standards, our own sin isn’t so bad. Use Jesus as your standard of behavior rather than sinners who are imperfect.

Look at how Jesus handled the situation. Instead of condemning her for her sin, Jesus showed love, compassion, and forgiveness. Her accusers were convicted of their own imperfect sin nature and left the scene. “When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? Hath no man condemned thee? She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more” (John 8:10-11).

Jesus’ love is amazing. Her sin was worthy of death according to the Law, but Jesus is greater than the Law. You also need to look at the last words He said to her. “…go, and sin no more.” He forgave her but didn’t say it was okay to continue sinning. She was saved by grace but had to change her lifestyle. Right at that moment, she was probably the most thankful and repentant person on earth… her life had been spared.

I often wonder if, later, she harbored some hateful thoughts toward the men who had trapped and betrayed her. Jesus said that even thinking hateful thoughts is the same as murder. I’m sure she had sin in her life until the day she died, but she could always remember the day she was saved by grace. The same man who recorded the account of this woman would later write, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). Confess the sin to Jesus, then leave that sin behind.

The fear of being judgmental is also a problem. Scripture cautions us that if we judge others, we will be judged accordingly, but we need to study Scripture and use it as our guide for our own actions and to judge the actions of others. “Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment” (John 7:24). Jesus said that, so we can trust it to be true.

Fear of being judgmental can cause us to be so open-minded and accepting of all sin that we no longer serve Christ. Paul addressed this problem when he wrote to the very liberal Corinthian Christians. “It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father’s wife. And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you” (1 Corinthians 5:1-2).

How many congregations today are proudly accepting sin within the congregation and in the pulpit? Pastors seldom talk about sin. And indeed, today, one of the vilest sins is being promoted. Men dressed as women are invited to speak and are even encouraged to speak with the children. That’s pure wickedness straight from Satan. Christian congregations need to be a place where sinners are led to repentance with love but not encouraged to continue in sin.

What did Paul tell the Corinthian congregation to do about the vile sin they accepted? “To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us: therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth” (1 Corinthians 5:5-8).

Leaven is used symbolically for sin. When a little leaven is put into bread dough, it puffs up the entire loaf. When a little sin is put into a congregation, it spreads to everyone. Paul told them not to let the sin of malice and wickedness motivate them to put the man out of the congregation but to expel him with sincerity and truth. When we confront sin, we must do it in love.

Paul went on to list other sins a Christian is not to associate with. When we profess Christ for salvation, we are to “…go and sin no more.” Non-Christians are simply lost and have no moral guide, so they don’t understand their sin. We do need to witness to them and lead them to repentance, and eternal life only found through Jesus.

Brothers and sisters, remember to get the splinter out of your own eye before judging other sins, and then use righteousness only found in Christ. Jesus loves sinners and wants everyone to come to salvation. “To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him” (2 Corinthians 5:20-21). We are His ambassadors, not His judge and jury. We must turn from our sin and encourage fellow believers to leave their sin behind.

We need to be careful when we point fingers at other people and accuse them of being less than Christian in their actions. “Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:22-23). I can think of times in my life when someone could misinterpret something I’ve done and wrongly take me to task for it. On the other hand, there were other times when it would have been good if a Christian friend had kindly had a word with me.

Time is running out. The Rapture will take all Christians Home to be with our Lord and Saviour, and the age of Grace will come to an end. The truth is, you may die before the Rapture. “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable and perfect, will of God” (Romans 12:1-2).

Repent from the sin in our own life, encourage fellow Christians in their walk, and witness to the lost. Jesus is ready to forgive all sin, and each new day brings the opportunity to serve Him. Stop judging and condemning others, and pay attention to your own walk. Jesus loves you and has forgiven you of your own sins. Forgive yourself and forgive others.

“As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one” (Romans 3:13). Our righteousness is only through Christ.

God bless you all,

Nathele Graham
