81 PASS THE BUCK
81 PASS THE BUCK
Evolutionists would have us believe that we ‘just appeared’ with no help from anyone or anything and that we are getting better and better as we evolve. By thinking this way, we have to believe that we are the Supreme Beings on this earth and that what we do is alright.
In reality, we have been getting worse and worse but we have become experts at fooling ourselves.
Adam was told not to eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil because it would give him the knowledge to know the difference between good and evil. Up to this point, he only knew good, so, all his decisions and thoughts were good. He was obeying God and the devil could not tempt him because it was a personal knowledge from God’s mouth to his ears, heart, mind or whatever.
Adam told Eve but the devil used a physical reptile to talk to Eve and tricked her; she ignored Adam’s word that, he said, God had told him and ate the fruit. Then she gave it to Adam and he ate it also. [Did you notice that, even though he was there with Eve, he didn’t stop the reptile, Eve or himself?]
When God went looking for them, which was His evening habit, they had the knowledge that they had done evil, by disobeying, and hide themselves. God knew that they had disobeyed and knew where they were hidden; He wanted them to come to Him and, in all honesty, confess their evil and be forgiven. [Sound familiar?]
When He found them He pretended ignorance, giving them every opportunity to confess their guilt, by asking them if they disobeyed.
Adam started the “pass the buck” game by trying to pass the blame for their disobedience to Eve and, even, God Himself. [“The woman that you gave me,”]
Eve continued the “pass the buck” game by trying to blame the reptile. The poor reptile was speechless, so, God started His judgement; read Genesis Chapter three, verses 14 to 19.
Ever since, the human race has been ‘passing the buck’. We now do things and blame God, Mother Nature, chance, circumstances, each other, the weather, the wind, etc. the list goes on and even to blaming no-one as if they were real.
We call car crashes ‘accidents’ even though we are the ones driving too fast, too recklessly or without the proper training for what we are doing. We call trips accidents even though we were doing something to distract us from where we were walking and didn’t see the crack in the pavement. Poor and shoddy workmanship is just bad material failure. Lack of skill or training is just poor tools or some other inanimate objects fault.
We have become very good at fooling ourselves into thinking it was someone else’s or something else’s fault why we are hurt, fail or suffer loss; even though we were not paying attention, did not take the time to get the proper training or information or did not ask a more knowledgeable person for help. [Ouch, got me again.]
Like a man, waiting to get lost before he consults his map or a woman thinking that a man is always listening to her. We have failed so many times that, you would think, we would have learned this lesson by now but anything or anyone can get our misdirected blame.
It happens so often that we have become experts at the ‘passing the buck’ game.

Just wandering around my fellow CanadaEast blogs checking them out and found yours for the first time. Keep up the good work.
Hi A.
It was a long time ago but Jesus is still alive today. What are you doing with or to Him now?
Also, you don't have to be a Christian to play the 'pass the buck game'. All you have to do is blame someone or something else for your mistakes, problems or life cercumstances and your playing.
Also the phrase 'I didn't know' is a fault and will cost you points. The correct information is available everywhere.
Actually, that's not how it works. With each generation of species you just get different and different, not better and better. The ones that are best adapted to their environment survive and reproduce to make the species change over many generations to have the traits best suited for remaining non-extinct. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. To think that this place was created specifically for us is arrogant and non-factual, we simply survived because we adapted to fit where we are, not the other way around.
We know now, in fact, that there are countless planets around trillions of stars, to think that this universe was created specifically for us is the side of the argument that puts us as the supreme being. Evolution simply states that we are, and are ever changing. Maybe you should try 'always learning' rather than spewing stories as fact.
Sorry, This world was not created for us but was created for God. He put us here to look after it and we are doing a terrible job of it. We are the environments, animals and healths worst enemies.
We are raping this world of its life forces for our pleasure and greed. God is going to end our reign on this earth because we are on the verge of destroying His creation and making it a place that His chosen life forms cannot survive in.
Its all written in His book and it is happening just as He said it would. Isn't it funny that evolution cannot explain what is happening to the insects lately and also the fact that we are taking our food out of our mouths to put into our gas tanks. Even animals don't do stupid things like that.
Did you ever think that you are forbidden from eating from the tree of knowledge to stop people from educating themselves and simply learn from the church whatever the church want to tell you to keep you controlled? That's far more logical to me than the story in some book.
You see, we don't need mythical figures to explain away things we don't understand anymore. We have knowledge to explain the world and the universe, more and more every day. Thor isn't throwing thunderbolts, it's just lightning. Eat from the tree, and realize that they're lying to keep you complaisant.
Quote "Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." That's when He created the other star systems and He doesn't need us to look after it, He created us to be His friends and wants us to look after it.
It's not the story in the book that I am friends with, it's the author of the book. I read the book because he wrote it to me and it describes Him. It's a tool that I use to understand more about what is real and what is not.
Where did you get your 'knowledge to explain the world and the universe'? How credible is your scource? Are you willing to bet your eternal life that it is right?
Where did we get our knowledge of the universe? Through observation, making a guess at what's going on, testing that guess against accepted knowledge, and creating a theory. Then asking everyone else to test that theory until it's either accepted as a fact or proven incorrect.
How does religion do it? Someone tells you how it is.
Religion is the antithesis of free thought and progress. The faster we rid the human race of theistic religion's scourge the better off we all will be.
I guess that after your theories are all proved wrong you have to come up with new ones to keep going. That's what scientists have been doing to the old theories; time after time they prove them wrong.
I don't know about religion; don't have much use for it myself but I do know God and He works every time. I think that I'll stick with Him where He has a 100% success rate in dealing with my life.
What kind of facts or evidence do you want? The bible is full of facts that are all true and I've just told you that He works 100% of the time for me.
You want me to accept your theory about a God that I know very well and that you said that you don't want to know. Does that make good sense to you?
