Why I am a Creationist - Dr. Douglas Petrovich, Archeologist

Psalm 12:6-7 The words of the Lord are pure words as silver tried in a furnace of earth purified seven times. Thou shall keep them, O Lord, thou shall preserve them from this generation for ever.

Wow, ich bin sehr beeindruckt! Respekt!

God bless you in JESUS mighty NAME. And rejoice and be glad,

You touched my life and gave me encouragment. May our creator our God our hope of salvation always bless you.

Aleluja I have found a kindred spirit. As I write this I can say in the past five years....I have cried so much...God took me so low and always had my back.
It’s my lot. Now I need to find my way like you did.
Thank you and see you in heaven. Shalom!

Great lecture and POWERFUL testimony!. I really like your passion in your videos. Reminded me of this...“”Even though the accuracy of a reading in the original text cannot be known with 100% accuracy, it is possible to be 100% certain of the truth preserved in the texts that survive today. (p.44) it is only in minor details that any uncertainty about the textual rendering exists, and no major doctrine rests on any one minor detail. A good translation will not fail to capture the overall teaching of the original. In this sense, then, a good translation will have doctrinal authority, although actual inspiration is reserved for the autographs. Geisler and Nix

I'm glad Christian's have it all figured out. Free us from thought and responsibility Oh Lord!

No, it is mythology.

Dogmatic nonsense in religion needs to die before man can ever evolve!!! There is a big difference between being a creationist and being a ''dogmatist'' that takes the Bible literally! And the more dogmatists there are the more Atheists there will be!!! Meditation is the ONLY path to the divine BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD!!!

Some hard truths have been spoken here.

Doug, if you are hated, you know you are on the right track.
It's only God's approval that matters.
The approval of men is useless.
Vanity vanity, all is vanity.

this is a great blessing to me...

Powerful, thank you. May our Father be praised ❤🕊

Foolish people may hate you, but there are a lot of us out here who love 💘 you for standing up for the truth and are very grateful for your helping us understand more about the Bible. I pray that God will open the windows of heaven and pour out such blessings that you cannot even contain them.

❤️✝️🙏🏼

Well put about how we should react in our darkest moments. Turn to Him i.e God/Jesus because he first loved Us/me.Luke 7:47.

Great talk my friend, You want some more wisdom? I can pass some along to you if you want a little more. If you recall where Jesus asked the Pharisee about King David concerning the Messiah and Jesus asked them "Who's son is he?" The Pharisee answer "he is David's son" meaning Davids descendant. Jesus then tells them "If he is David's(descendant) son, then why does David call him Lord?".

Now that being the case, then what words did the Messiah Jesus instruct David to write about himself before being born in the flesh years later? Now for greater wisdom go read Proverbs 8;22-36 where Jesus in his heavenly form instructs King David what to nwrite about himself and his beginning.

Oh I have more to show you, this wisdom I have comes from the true God of heaven and earth and their is no end to that knowledge and wisdom, and once your eyes are truly opened then all the answers fall easily into place.
Thanks Brother from your harshest critic.

Thank You for reminding us of the ”fear of God” and also of the suffering If We stay true to the Word of God.

Amen brother! So good ❤

bless you for your heart for god. however, fear of the lord is for those who do not love him. love casts out fear as john points out. but we love and reverence him because he first loves us. it is those who resist him who need to fear the outcome of their resistance of the love offered. note that the written word of god defines love in terms of action rather than emotion. we show our love and reverence for him when we obey his commandments.

who likes to be deceived, who likes to live in a lie? the only way we can know what is truth is to know and understand the written word of the creator of the universe. unbiased study of nature and the universe (true science) reveal a creator and nature of that creator which was evident even to anyone from time immemorial who seeks the truth.

note: the understanding needs to be asked and be given by the author. this is what david did and thus he can claim that he is wiser than the wisest of old who only depend his and on human wisdom. david's wisdom is learned from the wisdom of the creator of the universe!

dr. petrovich, thank you. yes, the world hates those who love god. thank you for reminding us to not only expect it, but to prepare for it by having the right attitude. it even helps when we ask god to help us, give us the strength and conviction and the ever present vision of eternal life with him.

bless you dr. petrovich. the lord's reward for you and your work lies in eternity, reward that humans fail to give. my heart is with you and may the lord continue to bless your work till he calls you home, i pray.

Thank you, Dr. Petrovich! Beautiful testimony!

If you are a righteous man of God you will be feared and respected as Moses. As Joshua. So on

You are who I would aspire to be. Bless you!

So... he's a good Christian whose belief system within that took him to ridicule and suicial despair. He now thinks its his life's work to take more of you to that place. What a great guy! By which I obviously mean a sociopath or someone in the depths of mental illness.

Wait, so even though both scientific method as well as high order reasoning played a huge role, to the glory of God, in enabling you to uncover the remarkable things you've uncovered, and enabling you to propose the profoundly insightful things you've proposed, you nonetheless require yourself to abandon both science and reason in order to accept the idea that the Earth and all the Universe is a mere 6,000 years old ...and that all the genetic diversity among all of mankind developed in just over 4,000 years? Shocking. Multiple, advanced forms of measurement from multiple, independent scientific disciplines have simply shown beyond any doubt that we, and it, have been here untold aeons. One can accept that and still believe that it was YHWH who created every lick of it. One can also accept that God's word doesn't "fail" of divinity just because in places it entertains myth. I would argue, in fact, that it takes GREATER faith to believe it divine when it DOES contain myth than to believe it divine saying it does not. It's not a question of whether it's all "true" or not. It's only a question of whether God wanted it written as it was written. If it suited his necessary purposes, and if those same purposes could not have been as effectively realized otherwise, and if indeed it is those purposes themselves which are holy, who in all the world is mere man to assert that it's not with God's realm of options to employ myth as a means to his noble ends? If you want to walk in awe of him so, perhaps untie his hands.

Explain it to me. The world is supposed to be what, 6000-7000 yo? So how can he study ancient egypt?! It's older than 6000 yo!! (Dr. Petrovich earned a PhD from the University of Toronto, with a major in Syro-Palestinian archaeology, a first minor in ancient Egyptian language, and a second minor in ancient Near Eastern religions.) Do these peudo-scientist had their degree completely ignoring carbon 14?! Who gave him a degree?!

awe inspiring testimony of God's grace and mercy! Go on brethren- spread the good news! GOD Bless you!

Today you helped change me in that i’m making that same commitment.
“To make God’s Name Great Today”
Thank You Brother for your Great testimony
May Father God continue to use YOU to “ MAKE HIS NAME GREAT TODAY “

Dr. Petrovich, you have touched my life, with your marvelous lessons! Joseph, manasseh, Egypt, the tower of babel, thank you for staying with the inerrant word of God! Paul counted all of his earthly accomplishments in this life but waste, that he might know Christ!! God will reward you 🙏

Nice talk Doug

Thank you for this sharing of your heart. I’ve enjoyed and learned a great deal of knowledge as I’ve watched and listened to your lectures. Each one helped me see more of God’s greatness. May God bless your life and give you even more wisdom day by day as you humbly serve him.

Не дај се брате Србине! Крв није вода.

Dr. Petrovich, I only want to say you that thanks to Adonai for you. God bless you and your family.

Fundamentalism…fanaticism

Jesus is Lord

That is such a wonderful question for each of us to answer (i.e., "Why am I a creationist?").
My answer, in short, is that I want to believe what is true, and I certainly don't want to believe what is false! And, in my searching for truth, I have found God's word (which teaches me that He created all things) to be truth!
So, why wouldn't anyone want to believe what is true; why wouldn't anyone be a Biblical creationist?

Well said, Dr. Doug. When we allow the Lord to guide us in the discovery and interpretation of the world and humanity he created, we must stand in awe of Him.

So, you learned how things worked and then you literally unlearned them to lie about the bible/god and everything. Great job! So, Doctor, how many expeditions have you found "evidence" for god... I mean the "flood"? None, right, because there was no "worldwide flood". Geologists better than you went out looking for the very evidence you pretend exists and found nothing. They saw the same rock formations like "bendy rocks" and knew what caused that while people like yourself have to lie about it to your followers... funny isn't it how Christ never tells you to lie for him or god. Gee, I wonder why? Also, buttercups, using your credentials as an "authority" is dishonest as well. I wonder what Jesus would say about that. Also, the Old Testament is what Jewish people follow. Are you Jewish? The New Testament, the Good News, and the Gospels is for everyone else. There are no "mixies" of the two. It is one or the other. One master.
There was no flood. Try learning about your deities and where they came from too, that will clear up your problems real quick.

Amen x thank you so much for your powerful witness statement for our Heavenly Father Lord GOD and His beautiful begotten Son Lord Jesus, a faithful servant to Them both x much love and God Bless from the UK, Susi xx
