Human Trafficking & Slavery
Don't Just Happen
(Jesus said in Mark 7:21-23)

Would a "good" God design
"survival of the fittest"
as His WAY?
(Isaiah 65:25)

Rights - Any discussion about human rights (slavery, oppression) or animal rights (cruelty, abuse) must first address our Creator's rights. He has the right to command how we treat both His people and His animals.

Responsibilities - Jesus said the root cause of suffering in this world is a distorted view of and/or the rejection of the true WAY of our Creator. (John 8:1-59)

Mistakes - Man's self-serving, misguided, mischaracterizations of God have historically led to personal and cultural conflict, corruption, and collapse.

Hope - Discovering the WHO?, the WHY?, and the "WAY"? of origins is the foundation for true transformation.

Change - Truly lasting change for individuals and cultures must begin at the cornerstone - the Creator of creation.

"Then I looked again
at all the acts of oppression
which were being done
under the sun.
And behold I saw the tears
of the oppressed
and that they had no one
to comfort them;
and on the side
of their oppressors was power,
but they had no one
to comfort them."

Ecclesiastes 4:1

Why believe the Bible is God's Word?
(See also the article: "Issue of Issues" by Dr. Carl Wieland)

- Not because of a cultic circular argument:
* No, not "Because it says it's God's Word" (Cults claim that for their writings)
- But because of a consistently, logikos-reasoned argument:
* Because of the massive mountain (the overwhelming ocean) of objective evidence leading to the conclusion that it alone is God's pure Word

DVD - Jesus in Genesis: The Messianic Prophecies
by Dr. Jonathan Sarfati

Mark Twain wrote and spoke with admiration of the Jewish people, confirming, after 2,000 years of dispersion across the world from AD70 until now, the prophetic fulfillment of God's promise to preserve them as a unique people group and nation, Israel:

"The Egyptian, the Babylonian, and the Persian rose, filled the planet with sound and splendor, then . . . passed away. The Greek and the Roman followed. The Jew saw them all, beat them all, and is now what he always was, exhibiting no decadence, no infirmities of age, no weakening of his parts. … All things are mortal but the Jew; all other forces pass, but he remains.
What is the secret of his immortality?"

See Dr. John MacArthur's related message on God's prophetic promises to preserve Israel as a nation both physically and spiritually:
