Forcing Matter To Stick

The following is from Creation Moments (//creationmoments.com), May 16, 2019:

“Why doesn’t an atom fly apart? It really ought to do so. School children are taught that atoms basically contain three types of particles–protons, neutrons and electrons.

Deuteronomy 5:15—Was the Sabbath instituted because of God’s rest from creation or His redemption of Israel from Egypt?

Problem: When Moses first gave the Law to Israel, the reason stated for the Sabbath observance was because “in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth … and rested the seventh day. Therefore, the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it” (Ex. 20:11). But, when Moses repeated the Law to the new generation entering the Promised Land, the reason given was that “God brought you out from there [Egypt] by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm; therefore the Lord your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath” (Deut. 5:15). Why two different reasons?

Do Christians and Muslims Worship the Same God?

by Casey McFall

The short answer is NO—Muslims and Christians do not worship the same God. In fact, even Jews do not worship the same God (see below). A part of the reason why so many people believe that Muslims and Christians worship the same God is because Muslims claim to worship a monotheistic god who was the “god” of Abraham and shares many characteristics with the true God. In fact, Muslims are actually taught that they worship the same God as Christians. Surah 29:46 in the Qur’an states: “Do not dispute other than in a good way with the people of Scripture, except for those of them who do evil; and say: ‘We have faith in that which has been revealed to us and revealed to you. Our God and your God are One, and to Him we submit [ourselves].’”

Deuteronomy 5:6–21—How could Moses alter the wording of the Ten Commandments from that which God spoke to him?

Problem: In Deuteronomy 5:6–21 Moses repeats the Ten Commandments to Israel. In reviewing the covenant which God made with Israel, Moses reviews the commandments which God gave to Israel at Sinai. However, Moses’ wording of the commandments in this passage is not exactly the same as the wording of God in Exodus 20:2–17. How could Moses alter the wording of the Ten Commandments from wording which God gave to him?

Deuteronomy 2:10–12—How could this have been written by Moses when it refers to the land of promise which he never entered?

Problem: Moses died before he could enter the Promised Land and was buried outside of it on the east side of the Jordan river (Deut. 34). But, this passage refers to the “land of their possession” as something that Israel possessed at the time it was written. Therefore, it would appear that Deuteronomy could not have been written by Moses, as it is traditionally claimed.
