The Second Epistle to Peter.
No.4.
Chapter 2:
p. 20
In Deut. 13: 1-5 God says He will permit false prophets to show signs and wonders
in order to test and prove them. Peter says "as then so now". Compare I John 4: 1:
"Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because
many false prophets are gone out into the world."
Satan is busy in all ages and trims his snares to contemporary conditions. What
pitfalls does he put in our path today? Instead of the all-wise God and Creator originating
a perfect family of creatures and suitable environment in which to live and enjoy life with
all the senses of their bodies, we are told that over millions of years dissatisfied living
matter managed to change little by little its own body by thought, in order that its
offspring might have a better chance to survive!
Paul in Rom. 1: traces the downfall and corruption of man. In verse 23 he says the
glory (or supernatural demonstration--this is true, compare and study other usages of the
word glory) of the incorruptible God was changed into an image made like unto
corruptible man . . . . . Today the power of creation is not said to be in a golden calf but in
(for example they say) a bull who seeks a safer form to survive the attacks of his enemies
or the hardships of his environment. The evolutionists use the terms "trial and error" and
"survival of the fittest". Such terms imply the creature doing the planning, for surely
they do not pin on God this haphazard process.

Continuing in Rom. 1: we find that although they knew God once, because they
changed God's truth into a lie, he gave them up and what happened? They twisted the
ordained plan of man and woman being one flesh for the basis of the perfect family.
