ANSWERS II important Questions: X2

I will ADD to this or the other “Answers” Post on a weekly basis:

Answers to Important Questions:
1)    Was it the atmosphere that allowed the pre-flood descendants of Adam           and Seth to live so long?
It is doubtful that a canopy of water vapor and an increased atmospheric pressure would have extended life.
We need to realize that the DNA of every living creation in both the animal and plant kingdoms were created perfect in every way and would have produced perfect cellular structures and organ function. Although death was now possible the scourge of decay and the widespread growth of disease causing bacteria, fungi, and viruses would take a long time to happen. This would have been slowed down by the simple fact that death was not pervasive. Another important factor in the spread and development of pathogens would have been waste and spoilage, but this would have been limited by the fact that meat eating was not permitted by God. Hence it would be difficult for serious “flesh consuming” microbes to be cultivated or spread. Another possible factor would have been the high intelligence of not only humankind, but also in the rest of the animal world. This would aid them in habitat and sanitary development and lifestyle habits that would limit injury, disease, and death. Insects may have allowed for the effective consumption and transformation of waste products into nitrogen and other safe products.

Question 2:

Can we easily overcome Fear and Doubt:
If you do not know your Savior, the obvious Answer is to believe and trust in Jesus Christ. Jesus said, “I Am the Way, the Truth, and the Life, no one comes to the Father but through me”. John said, “Everything that was made was made by Him.” Jesus also stated, “I am the resurrection and the Life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live. Worry is an issue: The Word states “do not be anxious for anything, but by prayer and petition make your request known to God, and the peace of God which transcends all understanding will make you at peace in Christ Jesus”

So the First Answer is: We can overcome Fear and Doubt through Jesus Christ and the Spirit of God sealed in you. However the 2nd issue is: Now that I am a Christian how do I deal with it? As one author states, “It is not about you!”. A better way to look at it is: take your focus off your failures and frustrations, instead Look up, Lean on Jesus Christ and walk in the Spirit for where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is both freedom and the fruits of the Spirit (which includes Peace, Joy, and Love). So Pray, and Study the Word of God for in both the Old and the New Testament God clearly describes Who He is and What He will do for you. He Promises a solution to Fear and Doubt:
Psalm 33:8,   Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him! I will fear no evil, for you are with me.   Psalm 27:1,  The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?  Pro. 1:7, The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge..

Mat. 10:28, And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Mar_5:36 But overhearing what they said, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not fear, only believe.” Luk. , 8:50 But Jesus on hearing this answered him, “Do not fear; only believe, and she will be well.” Luk. 12:32, “Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” 2Ti. 1:7, for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. Rev. 1:17, “Fear not, I am the first and the last. And, “There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear.” I Jn. 4:18.
So is it Easy? If you do not seek Him with all your Heart, Soul, and Mind….No it is not easy! The Word says to focus not on the world but “on things above”. That “All the Treasures of knowledge and wisdom are found in Christ Jesus”. So cast away your foolish thinking, philosophies, and perspectives and seek the Truth with all heart, soul, and mind. Study the BIBLE: the Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth.  And remember “you can do all things through Jesus Christ who strengthens you”.  Even when facing death:  Rom. 8:11, “If the Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from death, lives in you, then he who raised Christ from death will also give life to your mortal bodies by the presence of his Spirit in you.”
