Inspiring Stories and Explanations of Certain Questions Gathered, Selected, Collected, Arranged, Typed, but not written by:Gen1900
Order:No human being possesses the unlimited power and wisdom necessary to preserve and maintain the universe, nor to make the sun rise and set daily. Who established the laws of physics and set them in motion in the first place? No one can rationally say this incredible world evolved by itself or was the result of a random, “big bang.” The universe is too perfectly ordered to have been the result of an accident, random explosion, or chemical reaction.
If the world was formed without an Intelligent Designer or merely evolved as a result of natural selection, how do certain fish, animals and insects develop camouflage? The fact that every snowflake is unique and that leaves turn exquisite colors as they fall from trees and die are proofs of design and order in the world. Who created them that way?
There is an undeniable order in nature that points to a Being with supreme intelligence, Who reveals Himself through His Creation. The progression of seasons, the cycles of night and day, the orbits of the planets, the perfect balance between prey and predator, vegetative and animate life point to an all powerful Creator-Almighty God.
Prayers Answered
During World War 2, an American bomber was shot down over the Mediterranean Sea.The sun mercilessly beat down on the wounded survivors who were confined to a small raft. Soon, their food and water supply were exhausted.
With little hope, one of the airmen decided to pray, “Hail Holy Queen,” since it was the feast of Mary’s Assumption. As they recited the words” turn thine eyes of mercy towards us, “they seemed to faintly see something in the distance. It was the periscope of an American Submarine that came to rescue them!
Another example of God’s providential care took place in the life of missionary Bishop Baraga. (1797-1868) Once when he was in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan with a scout on his way to a distant mission, the ice on which they were walking broke away from land and rapidly traveled away from the shore.
Adrift on Lake Superior, the largest freshwater lake in the world(in area), the ice floated then began to melt and crack. The Snowshoe Bishop remained tranquil in the midst of peril and prayed to God for assistance. Miraculously the ice took them safely to Wisconsin shore; just a few miles from their planned destination.
My Opinion: These events are miracles and something that did not happen by chance. God wanted the soldiers to be saved and the Bishop to arrive safely at his destination. It was all God’s Will
Look Below the Surface(Charity)
Although people often see only the exterior, God reads the heart. People are like icebergs, there is often much more below than appears on the surface.
In your dealings with others, don’t always take things at face value. There is often an entirely different side that hasn’t been explored. Those viewing the ocean from above see only whitecaps and azure waves. Divers see an amazing world just a few feet below.
My sister used to ride a bike in college to commute about the campus. Although she used various locks and chains, bikes kept getting stolen.
A friend found an easy way to prevent this occurrence by spray painting the bike an ugly green and covering the handlebars with black electrical tape.
Its appearance was such that she often kept it unlocked. No one ever attempted to steal it, even though it was exactly like other bikes stolen from the same rack. People were even ashamed to ride it.
Extreme Views of Salvation Common Today
Many today erroneously believe they are automatically saved. Some thing they are saved merely by accepting Jesus as their personal Savior. Others believe that because they are baptized, they can do whatever they want. NONE of these are correct. Other attacks against the justice and mercy of God and free will of God and humans include:
1.Universal Salvation whereby all are saved even if they don’t do what God commands.
2.No one is saved unless they have received Baptism of water.
3.God predestines people to be saved or dammed. So in other words…either-or.
Since I have told you about the, “Hail Holy Queen,” that really took place during World War 2, I will type in bold letters the prayer which ensured safety to the Americans.
Hail Holy Queen
Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy, hail, our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve: to thee to do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this vale of tears. Turn then,most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus, O merciful, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary! Amen. -An indulgence of 5 years.

Honestly you have failed to change my mind. Setting aside the fact that my views on this subject are very different from yours, the persuasion used here is pure opinion. There is no substance. You’ve provided no facts to back up your claims. Don’t get me wrong, there is a place for opinions in writing. In fact, many great theories start as opinions. You just need to back up the claims with something more than mere opinion. Discussion and debate are great things that will only happen between two sides that disagree, but to better foster a debate, you need to develop a better relationship between positive and normative statements.
Okay….Lindsay thank you so much for telling me about punctuation.You know I am only fifteen and I am still learning.So thanks very much.I know people have different views.As an individual who believes in God I think it is my duty…to try and bring more people to Christ.If you keep reading this you will see more inspiring stories that might just change your thinking a little bit.Oh,and your books on dating I find it that you should be not talking about certain things.This is a website that doesn’t want too much of that in here.So please keeps things clean.And thanks for the feedback.
Oh and one more thing my Bishop wrote what I printed on here.And he is SMART
1. I didn’t say anything about punctuation.
2. I see that you completed edited this post after I commented and changed it into something totally different. I’d like to remind you that in your original post you specifically asked “Did this change your mind?” and my answer, was no it didn’t.
3. Yes, I should be talking about things like dating. People need to know all about birth control and how to navigate the completely normal realm of dating.
4. You have no idea what this website wants and doesn’t want. And I guarantee you that I do- I’ve been here from the beginning. Everything I write is clean. Take a look at the mission statement of Noah Education Fund: this is supposed to be a safe space where people aren’t censored. To foster discussion and to inspire each other. Hence why all of my completely appropriate articles are still on here. Hence why you’re allowed to post your unfounded opinions under the “information” categorial.
Lindsay didn’t I say I’m glad I accepted your advice?It helped me a lot.I am truly grateful for it.I do not agree without about birth control or the other thing.Birth control kills babies before they even have a chance to see the world.The normal realm of dating is fine!Way to go!Totally like that!But birth control….And I added more to the story because I was going to do that in the first place.I don’t want you mad at me but I AM ALOUD TO SAY SOMETHING.
Oh, and two more things.
1.I have free speech.
2.And some of your content is not pure.
