Dear JYs I would like to mention something regarding this mail. First of all I would like to apologise to my dear Friend Sheril in case I do offend her with this mail. However since this mail has appeared a number of times on JY I would like to state that the whole NASA incident is an absolute HOAX.
True our Lord is the Lord of Science and whatever is discovered is actually his revelation to us. However sometimes as a matter of overzeal for the Lord people do tend to fabricate matter intending to lead others to him. Sometimes it works. However in many cases when they do find out that it was all a bunch of baloney in the very first place then their faith does get deflated like air from a baloon. I think before people should aware of Such Instances before creating such Rumours. Our Lord is the Lord of truth and he doesnt needs lies so that others may follow him. This can be further confirmed in Romans 3:7 for further clarification on this story visit: http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/joshuaday.htm urs in faith Jason Mumbai [Romans 3 : 7 - But what if my untruth serves God's glory by making his truth stand out more clearly? Why should I still be condemned as a sinner? 8 - Why not say the then, "Let us do evil so that good may come"?] ----- Original Message ----- From: sheril daniel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, November 18, 2002 5:56 PM Subject: [JOYnet] NASA proves the bible is true! > Hi dear friends! > > For all of you who think its not possible to be a scientist and a christian at the same time, heres' something really interesting! and it just shows that science leads to God and not that science is a different path. everything should and will lead to God. and i just feel that being a scientist, or having a scientific incline to the way one thinks, is also advantageous because God shows us and explains much through that. we can glorify Him through science and prove alot to the world we live in. That God is no myth, and the bible is the WORD. by the way, what i'm saying has nothing to do with vasthshastra (the current hot topic!!!). and i am so inspired by joseph uncle's mail about his personal experience and how he has depended solely on his faith and has not let any superstitions or "cultural beliefs" affect him in anyway. > > with love in Jesus > > sheril > > > > Subject: (Fwd) (Fwd) NASA Proves the Bible is true > Priority: normal > Date forwarded: Mon, 18 Nov 2002 11:18:46 +0200 > > > Subject: (Fwd) NASA Proves the Bible is true > > For all you scientists out there and for all the students who have a > hard time > convincing these people regarding the truth of the Bible, here's > something that > shows God's awesome creation and shows that He's still in control. > > Did you know that the space program is busy proving that what has been > called "myth" in the Bible is true?
