Instincts of Bees
IILUSTRATION #1 – BEES
(Pg. 17 “5. The Fall Perverted Man’s Instincts”)
WORKER BEE JOBS:
Nurse (feed the larva)
Guard (protect the hive)
Scout (Search)
Forage (Gather food)
Foraging Western honey bees perform a dance on their return to the hive, known as the waggle dance, indicating that food is farther away, while the round dance is a short version of the waggle dance, indicating that food is nearby. The laden forager dances on the comb in a circular pattern, occasionally crossing the circle in a zig-zag or waggle pattern.
In 1947, Karl von Frisch correlated the runs and turns of the dance to the distance and direction of the food source from the hive.
The orientation of the dance illustrates the relative position of the sun to the food source,
and the length of the waggle portion of the run is correlated to the distance from the hive.
Von Frisch performed a series of experiments to validate his theory. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1973 for his discoveries.

Are we all God's Children?
ADDITIONAL NOTES for Question: "Are we all God's children?"
Answer: The Bible is clear that all people are God’s creation (Colossians 1:16), and that God loves the entire world (John 3:16), but only those who are born again are children of God (John 1:12; 11:52; Romans 8:16; 1 John 3:1-10).
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (MORMONS)
The LDS church teaches a unique belief that answers this poignant question — are all children of a Heavenly Father who loves us. Our Father in Heaven created our spirits, and we lived with him in a premortal world. Our existence on this world was not an accident or improvisation. He created the Earth specifically for us. We chose to be sent here, to receive our physical bodies, and to be tested preparatory for us receiving all that God has planned for us according to our faithfulness.
While we are all the spirit offspring of God the Father, and therefore the spiritual brothers and sisters to Jesus Christ (who was chosen from before the foundation of the world to be our Savior), Jesus Christ is the Only Begotten, Flesh and Bone Son of God. Jesus Christ is our Savior and Redeemer, who set the way for us to return to the presence of Our Father in Heaven. Only a family member would love us enough to offer himself as a sacrifice for justice and mercy.
Jewish Religious Humanist Joseph Haddad
Wrote a book Titled “ Discover the Truth for Yourself – We Are All God’s Children.” He explores what it means for us all to be a part of a single family – God’s family. From the book:
The Bible’s purpose is to teach us about Man and God, and in so doing, to provide us with a moral and legislative code with which to guide our lives, in both a universal and particularistic way. The family of Man is enjoined to live their lives in a certain manner, while the children of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are called upon to conduct their lives according to a highly-structured format, serving as teachers and role models for their fellow human beings.
Country Music Singer Alan Jackson
Here comes a Baptist, here comes a Jew, there goes a mormon, and a Muslim too, I see a Buddhist and a Hindu, I see a Catholic and I see You (CHORUS) We’re all God’s Children (3x’s) “Why can’t we be one big happy family?”
Roman Catholic Question and Answer Forum
A few weeks ago, my dear friend, who is a self proclaimed Sola Scriptura, Non-Denominational, evangelical Protestant asked me: "Do you think non-Christians are children of God?" Well, having gone to parochial school for nine years, I was taught that God is our Father and that we (mankind) are God's children…
Is my friend correct? Is there anything in Sacred Scripture that implies that all men are children of God? Does the Church teach we are all God's children? It's really hard discussing Christianity with Christians who believe that the Holy Bible is the sole and ultimate basis of teaching. Thank and God Bless. In His Most Sacred Heart. Denise

John 3:7
REASONS THERE IS A GOD AND EVOLUTION IS A LIE
DOCTRINE I
REASONS THERE IS A GOD AND EVOLUTION IS A LIE.
1. THE CREATION OF THE UNIVERSE.
A plan without a planner. How would there be nothing — then suddenly
something?
SUN — 10% closer sizzle — 10% farther away freeze. So big could contain 1,300,000 earths.
MOON — If closer huge tidal waves would engulf us.
AIR — Right amount of oxygen. Add—consume. Take away — drag out feet. Composed of two deadly gasses — if separated.
STARS — Our solar system with its sun, and planets — Milky Way composed of 100 billion stars — with their own planet system. 100 billion star galaxy called the Milky Way of which our solar system is a part. There are 500 million more.
EARTH — Job 12:8 “Speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee.”
The earth spinning in four directions at least.
2. THE WORLD OF NATURE
THE ROSE — Color — scent, all packed into a tiny seed never gets mixed up.
THE RADISH — Black seed — Green leaves — Red coat — White meat.
THE WATERMELON — seed reproduces itself 1 million times.
THE ACORN — Oak tree — The Poet said, “Only God could make a Tree.”
3. OUR HUMAN BODY
Begins in the union of two reproductive cells — it takes upon itself some 21 trillion other cells, all in the right places.
THE HEART — weighs almost 3 lbs. pumps enough pressure to lift a battleship and can push 100 freight cars down the track.
THE BRAIN — greatest computer — storehouse lies almost dormant in our body, two-tenths of 1% is used by the genius. Full potential — manifestation of the sons of man; full redemption — full use of the brain.
Page 2 Evolution a lie
THE EAR — sound scale — There are sounds in the air that we do not hear; but has within it the potential to hear all.
Example EAR — Dog will react to a whistle that we cannot hear. (trumpet)
“He that hath an ear let him hear.”
THE EYE — Transmits sight to the brain changes the images right side up.
THE BLOOD — vessels like a city — detect harm and fight off the enemy OUR blood has this ability.
THE NERVES
4. THE CREATION OF LIFE
How did life begin? Some say a product of evolution. The Theory’s of Evolution — the Missing Link.
Evolutionists seek to link to man with the brute creation, but Jesus
Christ our Lord came into the world to link man with God. John 1:12;
Ephesians 2:15; II Peter 1:4; I John 3:2
Came not by human nature evolving into the Divine, but by the Divine
entering into human nature.
THE THEORY’S OF EVOLUTION
THE MISSING LINK
1. Hesperopithecus — Harold Cocki — Nebraska Man — (one tooth, from a pig).
2. Homo neanderthalensis — Neanderthal Man — Germany — (A part of a skull, thighbone, one rib fragment). Scientists could not agree on findings if from the same body.
3. Pithecanthropus erectus — “The ape a man who walked erect.” Known as the Java Man — (Piece of skull, two teeth, one thighbone). 10 said bones of an ape —7 said bones of a man —7 said “missing link.”
4. Eoathropus Dawsoni — Piltdown Man — (One piece of jaw, one piece of skull, one canine tooth, two molar teeth, and one nasal bone). Chemical dying process discovered the jawbone does not belong to this skull at all.
5. Homo erectus — Heidelberg Man — (one jawbone found in the sands of Germany.)

Doctrine I
Definition of Doctrine - (dictionary) The principles, beliefs, or dogma of any church, sect, or party.
I. The Meaning of Doctrine:
The word “doctrine” literally means “teaching” or “instruction” and may be defined as the fundamental truths of the Bible arranged in systematic form. This study is also commonly called theology, which means literally “a reasoned discourse about God.” Theology or doctrine may be defined as a science which deals with our knowledge of God and His relations with man.
Why do we describe theology or doctrine as a “science”?
What is the connection between theology and religion?
What is the difference between a doctrine and a dogma?
II. The Need For Doctrine:
1. Doctrinal knowledge supplies the need for an authoritative and
systematic statement of truth. John 17:17
2. Correct doctrinal knowledge is essential to salvation. I Tim. 4:16
3. Doctrinal knowledge is essential to the full development of
Christian character, and contributes to our instruction in
righteousness. II Tim. 3:16
NOTE: An understanding of doctrine is essential to growth in Christian character. It has been well said that “Christian character is a fruit that grows only on the tree of Christian doctrine.” Correct doctrine is to a Christian what a man’s backbone is to his body. He does not wear it on his chest, but without it he would be a hump-backed or jellyfish Christian.
4. Doctrinal knowledge is a safeguard against error. Matt. 22:29
Gal. 1:6-9 II Tim. 4:2-4
5. Doctrinal knowledge comes in obedience to the will of God.
John 7:17

,"",Propitiation is that which secures God�s favor for the undeserving. Christ died in order to save us from God�s righteous wrath and to secure His favor to us. Propitiation means mercy seat. (Ex. 26:34; Heb. 9:5; I John 2:2; 4:10),"",Upatanisho ni ile ambayo imesalamisha fadhili ya Mungu kwa wale ambae hawastahili. Kristo alikufa ili kusudi tuepushwe kwa hasira ya Mungu yenyi haki na kusalamisha fadhili yake kwetu. Upatanisho maana kitu chenye rehema (Kutoka 26:34; Waebrania 9:5; I Yohana 2:2; 4:10). ,,
,"",e. The Need of Righteousness ,"",e. haja ya Haki ,,
,"",As the body needs clothing, so the soul needs character. As one must appear before the world clothed in proper garments, so must man appear before God and heaven clothed in the garment of a perfectly righteous character. Rev. 3:4, 7:13, 14; 19:8 ,"","Kama mwili imehitaji mavazi, kadhalika nafsi imehitaji moenendo, kama moja amepasa kuonekana mbele ya ulimwengu mwenye kuvaa vazi yenye kufaa, hivyo mtu amepasa kuonekana mbele ya Mungu and mbingu mwenye kuvaa vazi ya mwenendo mwenye haki kamilifu.Ufunuo 3:4, 7:13, 14; 19:8 ",,
,"",The sinner�s garment is defiled and tattered. Zech. 3:1-4 And were he to clothe himself in his own goodness and merits and plead his own good deeds, they would be considered as “filthy rags”. Isa. 64:6; James 5:2; Jude 23 ,"","Vazi ya mwenye dhambi ni naijisi na yenye kuchakaa zakaria 3:1-4. Na alijivika mwenyewe katika wema wake mwenyewe and staha na kutetea matendo yake mema, yataonekana kama “viraka vyenye uchafu”. Isaya 64:6, yakobo 5:2; yuda 23. ",,
,"",We need to guard against defiling our garments. Rev. 3:4; 16:15,"",Tumehitaji kujizuiza kwa unajisi wa mavazi zetu.Ufunuo 3:4; 16:15. ,,

,"",1) Righteousness was purchased by Christ�s substitutionary death.,"",1) Haki zilininukiwa kwa kifo ya kristo chenye ukombozi. ,,
,"",God has provided a garment. Isa. 61:10; Isa. 53:5,11; Rom. 4:6;5:18,19; II Cor. 5:21 His death was a perfect act of righteousness because it satisfied the law of God; it was also a perfect act of obedience. And all this was done on our behalf and placed to our credit. The act by which God charges or reckons this righteousness to our account is called imputation.,"","Mungu alitolea vazi. Isaya 61:10; Isaya 53:5, 11; Warumi 4:6;5: 18, 19; II Wakorinto 5:21 kifo chake kilikuwa tendo ya haki, kwani ilishirikiana na sheria ya Mungu; ilikuwa tena tendo kamilifu ya utii. Na hiyo yote ili tendeka kwa farida yetu na kutiwa kwa ziada yetu. Tendo ambayo Mungu tiya hiyo haki kwenye faida yetu imeitwa “utiliwa” (imputation), ",,
,"",2) Righteousness is imputed to our account.,"",2) Haki ilitiliwa kwenye faida yetu ,,
,"",Imputation is the reckoning to a person the consequences of another�s act. For example, the consequences of Adam�s sin are reckoned to his descendants. The consequences of man�s sin were reckoned to Christ, and the consequences of Christ�s obedience are reckoned to the believer. He wore our garment of righteousness. He “is made unto us righteousness,” I Cor. 1:30. He becomes “the Lord our righteousness,” Jer. 23:6.,"","Utiliwo ni hesabu kwa mtu matokeo ya tendo la mukugine kwa mfano, matokeo ya dhambi ya adamu ilihesabuliwa kwa uzao wake. Matokeo ya dhambi ya mtu ilihesabuliwa kwa mwaminifu. Alivaa vazi yetu ya haki. “Amefanywa kwetu haki,” I wakorinto 1:30. Amekuwa “mfalme wa haki yetu”, Yeremia 23:6 ",,
,"",Christ expiated our guilt, satisfied the law, both by obedience and suffering, and became our substitute, so that being united with Him by faith, His death becomes our death, His righteousness our righteousness, His obedience our obedience. God then accepts us not for anything in us, not for works—Rom. 3:28; Gal. 2:16—or merit, but for the perfect all-sufficient righteousness of Christ set to our account. For Christ�s sake, God treats the guilty man, when penitent and believing, as if he were righteous.,"","Kristo aliandoa hatia yetu, alitimiliza mapashwa ya sheria, kwa njia ya utii na mabeso, na alikuwa mkombozi wetu, ili kusudi, wakati tumeungana naye kwa imani, kifo chake kimekuwa kifo chetu, haki yake imekuwa haki yetu, utii wake umekuwa utii wetu. Mungu kumbe ametukubali, siyo kwa ajili ya kitu chochote ndani mwenu, wala kwa ajali ya matendo � warumi 3:28; wagalatia 2:16 � ao kustahili, walakini ni kwa ajili ya haki kamilifu na yenye kutosha ya kristo yenye kutiliwa upande wetu. Kwa farida ya Kristo, Mungu ameangalia mtu mwenye hatia, wakati ametubia na kusadiki, kama mwenye haki. ",,
,"",3) Righteousness is imparted to our life.,"",3) Haki imetolewa kwa maisha yetu. ,,
"","",Justification that saves is something external, and concerns the sinner�s position, but is there no change in condition? ,"","Kuhesabuliwa haki ambao imeokowa ni kitu cha njem a ni kuhusu upamuzi wa mutenda dhambi, walakini hakuna madiliko lolote katika hali? ",,
,"",� It affects his standing, but what of his conduct?,"","Imegusa utu wake, lakini ni nini kuhusu mwenendo wake? ",,
,"",� Righteousness is imputedbut is it also imparted?,"","Haki imetiliwa, lakini imetolewa tena? ",,
,"",� In justification Christ is forus, but is He also inus?,"","Katika kuhesabuliwa kuwa haki kristo ni upande wetu, lakini amekuwa tena ndani mwetu? ",,
,"",In other words, it seems that imputation would dishonor the law if it were not bound up with security of future righteousness.,"","Maana, imeonekana ya kuwa utilia inge chafua sheria ikawa haikuambatane na usalama wa haki ijao. ",,
,"",The answer is that justifying faith is the initial act of Christian life and this initial act, when the faith is living, is followed by an inward, spiritual change known as regeneration.,"","Jibu ni kwamba hiyo imani yenye haki ni tendo la kwanza ya maisha ya kikristo, na hiyo tendo la kwanza, wakati imani ikohai, imefwatwa na mabadili ya kiroho ya ndani yenye kujulikana kama kuzaliwa upya kwa kiroho (regeneration). ",,
,"",Righteousness is imputed in justification and imparted in regeneration. The Christ who is for us becomes the Christ in us. “Christ liveth in me,” Gal. 2:20.,"","Kaki imetiliwa katika kuhesabuliwa kuwa haki na imetolewa katika kuzaliwa upya kwa kiroho (regeneration).

,"",Being in Christ and Christ in us actually go together John 15:4 John 14:23I John 3:24; 4:13 Real salvation calls for a life of practical holiness. They who wear His righteousness will be careful to purify themselves. I John 3:3,"","Kuwa ndani ya kristo na kridto ndani mwetu imeenda sasa pamoja. Yohana 15:4; 14:23, I yohana 3: 24; 4:13 wokovu halisi zimeomba maisha yenye matumizi ya utkalifu. Wale ambae wamevaa haki yake wakafanya iwezekanavyo kujitakasa wenyewe. I Yohana 3:3",,
,"",E. The Means of Justification � Faith ,"",E. Vyombo vy kuhesabuliwa kuwa haki � Imani ,,
,"",Justification is by faith. Since the law cannot justify, man�s only hope is for a “righteousness without the law” (Rom. 3:21). This is not an unlawful unrighteousness, or a religion that permits us to sin, but is justification that changes our position with God based on the merits of Christ. This is the “righteousness of God” (a righteousness which God imparts), and it is a gift because man lacks the power to develop it or work it out. (Eph. 2:8-10) The three operations of faith are as follows:,"","Kuhesabuliwa kuwahaki ni kwa imani. Kwa sababu sheria haiwezi kuhesabu kuwa haki, taraja tu ya mtu ni “Haki bila shema” (warumi 3:21). Hiyo siyo kutokuwa haki bila kutokea kwa sheria, ao dini ambayo imetujuzu to tenda dhambi, lakini ni kuhesabuliwa kwoa haki ambao kumebadili uamuzi wetu na Mungu yenye kuketi juu ya staha ya kristo. Hiyo ndiyo “Haki ya Mungu” (Haki ambao Mungu ametolea), na imekuwa kipawa kwa sababu mtu amekosa mamlaka ya kuikomalisha ao kuitimiza. (waefeso 2:8-10). Kazi matatu ya imani ni hiyi ifwatayo: ",,
,"",1. Faith Appropriates ,"",1. Imani imejichulia ,,
,"",A gift must be accepted. How then is the gift of righteousness accepted? What is the instrument which appropriates the righteousness of Christ? �It is the faith.,"",Kipawa kimepasa kukubaliwa. Vipi sasa kipawa cha haki kimekubaliwa? Ni chambo gani kimejichukulia haki ya kristo. Ni imani. ,,
,"",Galatians 2:16—Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.�,"","Wagalatia 2:16—Hali tukijua ya kuwa mwanadamu hahesabiwi haki kwa matendo ya sheria, bali kwa imani ya kristo yesu, sisi tulimuwamini kristo Yesu ili kuhesabiwe haki kwa imani ya kristo, wala si kwa matendo ya sheria; maana kwa matendo ya sheria hatuna mwenye mwili atakayehesabiwa haki. ",,
,"",Faith is the hand, so to speak, which takes what God offers. Faith is the instrumental cause of justification. Rom. 3:22; 4:11; 9:30; Heb. 11:7; Phil. 3:9 Faith lays hold of God�s promise and appropriates salvation.,"",,,
,"",2. Faith Applies,"",2. Imani imetenda ,,
,"",Psalm 51:7—Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. ,"","Zaburi 51:7—Unitakase na �., na nitatakaswa: unitawadhe, na nitakuwa mweupe zaidi kuliko theluji.",,
,"",Faith not only takesall that God has to offer, but it appliesit to the soul.,"","Imani haichukuwe tu yale yote Mungu ametoa, lakini yameikabizi kwenye nafsi. ",,
,"",3. Faith activates ,"",3. Imani imeamusha. ,,
,"",Faith not only passively receives, but also actively useswhat God bestows. Faith is also an affair of the heart. (See Rom. 10:9,10; Compare Matt. 15:19 with Prov. 4:23.) ,"","Imani haripokee tu bila kutenda, lakini imetumia kwa kutenda ile ambayo mungu ametoa. Imani ni tena yenye kutegemea roho (angalia katika warumi 10:9,10; linganisha mathayo 15:19 na Mathali 4:23) ",,
,"",Faith involves works. The Scripture speaks of a “work of faith.” ,"",Imani imeamba matendo. Maandiko yamezungumzia kuhusu “ kazi za imani.” ,,
,"",Gal. 5:6—Faith which worketh,"",wagalatia 5:6 � Imani itendayo. ,,
,"",I Thess. 1:3—Work of faith,"",Awathesaloni 1:3 � Kazi ya imani ,,
,"",Faith produces works—James 2:26,"",Imani imezoa�Yakobo 2:26 ,,
,"",Faith proved by works—James 2:18,"",Imani imehakikishwa kwa matendo—Yakobo 2:18 ,,
,"",Faith protected by works—James 2:22,"",Imani imelindwa na matendo�Yakobo 2:22 ,,
,"",That is, faith is an energetic principle; as well as, a receptive attitude. Faith is therefore a powerful motive to obedience and to every good work. Faith involves the will and is connected with all good choices and actions. (Rom. 14:23) Faith includes the choice and pursuit of the truth. ( II Thess. 2:12) Faith implies subjection to the righteousness of God. ( Rom. 10:3) ,"","Ni hivyo, imani ni mila yenye nguvu; na hali ya kuwa tayari kwa kupokea. Kumbe imani ni sabubu fulani kwa utii na kwa tendo lote lililo bora. Imani imeomba mapenzi na imeambatana na machaguzi na metendo yote mema. (Warumi 14:23) Imani ina ndani yake uchaguzi ara kutafutisha kweli. ( II Wathesalonike 2:12) Imani imeonyesha utii kwa haki ya Mungu (Warumi 10:3). ",,
