Here is wisdom;
There is only one true church. It is the church that Jesus leads.
How will I know which church is real?
They will teach what Jesus taught and will follow the ten commandments.
Revelation warns us of the seven churches. Many of them are rebuked by Christ.
Revelation is not our only source for these churches.
"And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, "We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach" (Isaiah 4:1).
This is prophecy. In prophecy "women" represent the church (Jeremiah 6:2), "one man" represents Christ, "bread" represents the word (John 6:35), and "clothing" represents character (Isaiah 64:6).
What this is saying is that there are several churches but to stay away from the ones that make their own rules or word and character even though they claim to represent Christ.
What if I'm wrong?
Follow Jesus and the ten commandments and you have nothing to fear.
Jesus said, "...other sheep that I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear My voice; and there shall be one fold and one shepherd." (John 10:16)
...just study and follow God's word. Do what it says and you will always be in the fold.

Repent Now; Aviod the Rush
Here is wisdom:
No one comes in from outside until it is raining.
Just like those in the days of Noah waited until the rain drops were falling before they tried to get on board the ark.
Why wait until it is too late?
Just like the last day of the month at the department of motor vehicles, there will be a rush.
Why wait until the line is so long that you might not make it?
God is real and the rain clouds are forming on the horizon, the renewal notices have been sent out on your Ford or Chevy.
Jesus is God. There is no other name under heaven by which we are saved.
Join a church that teaches the Bible.

Genome Sizes
Here is Wisdom;
The most simple form of life on earth is bacteria.
The simplest bacteria that has been mapped is known as phi X174 and has 5,386 base pairs of genes.
http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/P/PhiX.html
Man has 3,300,000,000 pairs or 3.3 x 10 to the ninth power.
http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/H/HGP.html
Quick subtraction gives us 3,299,994,614.
What does that have to do with anything you may ask?
Good question. The earth has supported life for only 3.8 billion years. That means that a genetic mutation would have to take place every 1.13 years, every year, for humans to have evolved from the simplest form of life.
That assumes (with great faulty) that life began as bacteria.
Think about it...

Star Dust
Here is wisdom;
According to the big bang, everything that is in existence came from the dust of stars.
Where did the dust come from?
In the milliseconds following the big bang, there was no mass. Everything had so much energy that it was pure light.
Try to wrap your mind around this: everything, including ourselves, came from light.
Sentience, art, music, sound, terra firma... all came from light.
God is light, remember that.

Wisdom
Here is wisdom;
Jesus said not to cast pearls before swine least they be trampled upon.
Swine cannot appreciate the finer qualities of a pearl. A pearl enhances the look of the person who wears it, yet a swine knows nothing about beauty and cares not for it.
Similarly, wisdom comes from God. And unless you belong to Him you belong to the deceiver, which is the serpent of old Lucifer, and you are without wisdom.
Pity the fool who has said in his heart, "There is no God!" You have eyes to see, you have ears to hear, and you have a mind to comprehend and yet you, atheists, claim that there is no "empirical" evidence of God?
Wisdom is separate from intellectualism in that it transcends knowledge and combines it with other components like experience, emotion, perception, intuition, and arrives at a new outcome...
There is a God and He still loves you.

Noah's Flood
Here is wisdom;
The Bible says that the fountains of the deep sprang forth...
What if in ancient times most of the world's water was underground instead of in the oceans and polar ice caps?
What if that hydrostatic pressure built up under God's command and "the fountains of the deep sprang forth?"
Would that account for continental drift and mountain ridges? Would it have left a massive crack around the earth's surface as evidence?
My answer is yes. And there are massive cracks around the earth's surface...at the bottoms of the oceans.
I find it interesting that because mankind was so wicked that the earth had to be flooded. It's analogous to the Christian having to be baptized to wash away the old sinful way and start anew, the earth was baptized.

Could Science Have Been Different?
Here is wisdom;
Once upon a time, the Roman Catholic Church suppressed scientific thought. If a scientist did not agree with the Church, they were excommunicated.
"Anathema!," they would cry.
This very likely forced many Christian scientists into the world of outcast and changed their worldview for the worse.
Had these scientists been able to conduct their experiments with Divine creation in mind, would they have come to a far more Holy and honest explanation of how we came into being?
My thoughts are yes. However, I do not believe that there is time before Christ's return to fix these errors.
