Welcome to Created4Health.org, Created in 2005 by Brian Shilhavy

Created4Health.org is committed to communicating the truth that we are created by God, in His image, and that His intention for our lives is to live in health. It is part of the Health Impact News network.

What a wonderful truth that God has personally created me for a purpose, and is interested in every single day of my life! Psalm 139, written by King David is one of the most eloquent statements of that truth.

So what is “health?” It is a common word in the English language, but its exact meaning can be a bit difficult to pin down. Ask 10 different people on the street what they think “health” means, and you will probably get 10 different answers. Often we can define a word by stating its opposite. The opposite of health would be “sick” or “sickness.” This word is probably more easily defined, and most would define it in terms of diseases and physical maladies.

But is health simply the absence of physical sickness? The history of man as unfolded in the pages of the Bible, the best selling book of all time, sees health and sickness as primarily spiritual issues – as opposed to primarily physical health, as our modern culture does.

Health in Biblical culture is measured by man’s relationship to his Creator. You very seldom see people in Biblical times going to doctors to purchase “health”, and in the few instances where they do, the result is often disastrous. (See 2 Chronicles 16:12-13 and Mark 5:25-26 for examples.)

Instead, you see people who had a relationship with God and believed in Him as their Creator turn to spiritual leaders for guidance in health.

In the Old Testament times you would go to the priests if you were sick, and in the New Testament we have story after story of people seeking out Jesus and His disciples in their sickness and being healed: “Jesus….healed them all.” (Matthew 12:15).

Have times really changed today? Has science and technology along with the modern-day medical system replaced our need to know God and seek Him out to achieve health? Few would agree today that our current medical system solves all our health needs. Many may turn to God when all else fails, in desperation, especially when the medical system has no answers for us and we don’t know where else to look.

Well I am here to proclaim that God is just as interested in giving you true health today as He has been at any other point in history. In fact, His power to help us reach our true purpose in life is more available today than it ever has been!

You don’t need to wait until you are in a desperate crisis to cry out to God. You can start your journey to healthy living right now! Join me as we explore the wonderful truths of God’s incredible love for us, and His desire to see us live a healthy life.

Our Duty to Shine the Light into the Darkness and Expose the Evil

Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God's wrath comes on those who are disobedient. Therefore do not be partners with them. For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for it is light that makes everything visible.

Are you going to be replaced by a machine? Could a robot really be curious? Or experience love? Could a computer plot evil? Some really smart people think machines will achieve not just human but super human consciousness. Oxford professor of mathematics John Lennox and Baylor University computer engineer Robert J. Marks disagree. Non-algorithmic properties are solely attributes of humans. Computers will never show the creativity, empathy, or love that human beings do.

The Brain Myth: Your Intellect and Thoughts Originate in Your Heart, Not Your Brain

Those of us who have been educated in Western Culture today have been taught to believe that the center of a person's consciousness and thoughts is our brain. Like a computer that contains a microprocessor that allows the computer to accomplish all of its various tasks, the idea that a human being also works like a computer with a brain that functions like a microprocessor, is something that almost all people raised in Western Culture assume is a fact. But it is not a fact. It is a belief system. And as a belief system, would it surprise you to learn that this is a fairly modern belief, and that historically it has not been the brain that has been considered the driving force in humans that allows them to think and reason, but that historically it has been the heart that is attributed to human consciousness, including our mind, speech, and thoughts? When we look at the ancient literature written in non-Western cultures, the idea that the brain controls human thought and consciousness is mostly absent. The largest collection of writings of antiquity that exist to us today is contained in the Bible, a collection of 66 unique writings spanning over thousands of years. Most of the Bible was written in Hebrew and Greek, and the most common translations of the Bible found today are English translations. I have an electronic Bible I use every day (e-Sword), and in this program I currently have about 16 different English translations of the Bible. I searched every English translation I have for the word "brain," and all of them turned up a negative result with ZERO instances of the English word "brain" used to translate any of the words in the original languages. If one does a search for the word "heart," however, it will return a result of almost 1000 matches where words in the original languages were translated into English as "heart."

God Will Not be Made a Fool – A Person Reaps What he Sows

Do not be deceived. God will not be made a fool. For a person will reap what he sows, because the person who sows to his own flesh will reap corruption from the flesh, but the one who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit. So we must not grow weary in doing good, for in due time we will reap, if we do not give up. (Galatians 6:7-9)

Who are the Children of Abraham?

The answer to the question, "Who are the children of Abraham?", is one that has been largely misunderstood and corrupted by religious dogma for thousands of years now. And with world events dramatically changing right before our eyes on a daily basis, it is imperative that you understand just who are the "children of Abraham," because it is a matter of life and death, with eternal consequences. In a world filled with lies, disinformation, and fake news, this truth of who the true descendants of Abraham are, is truly GOOD NEWS for a world that desperately needs some good news today!

The God of All Comfort

If you are a disciple of Jesus Christ, you were not born into this world to be "happy," or to live "the good life." That's the lie that is called "the American Dream" and that is primarily taught by Corporate Christianity. If you are a true disciple of Jesus Christ, you were born into this world to do battle against the evil world system, and to suffer for doing so. What we are promised is "comfort", and the strength to endure the suffering from being attacked by the enemy.

Creativity and the Human Difference – Why AI Can Never Replace Humans

From the late Stephen Hawking to Elon Musk, some of the smartest people on Earth have issued warnings about the looming danger posed by artificial intelligence. Not only is AI an amazing technology, they say, with the potential for uses both good and bad, but it threatens to replace and destroy humanity. The media love this particular concept and continually seek to scare us with it. Why? The episode calls out the idea for what it is: applied materialism. Materialism is the denial of a spiritual reality. It animates Darwinian thinking, and it drives the panic about AI. After all, if humans are no more than “meat machines,” then a superior machine, equipped with AI, could well choose to do away with us. However, as four notable scholars explain here, AI runs on algorithms, which are essentially a recipe. AI does only what it’s programmed to do. Humans transcend algorithms. We do things that computers will never be able to accomplish.

An Invitation to the Technologists to Join the Winning Side

The techno-prophecies of the past several decades predicting that technology would produce higher "life" forms through Artificial Intelligence have completely failed. And yet these prophecies continue today, with entities like the World Economic Forum predicting that the "Fourth Industrial" revolution is upon us, and the age of "Transhumanism." But the reality is that the technology is failing, not advancing. As we approach the end of the second month of 2023, 118,726 employees from Big Tech have already been laid off, following 161,061 layoffs in 2022, mostly in the second half of the year. The entire world economy is on the brink of collapse, and the banking industry is already bracing itself for bank runs, and the implementation of "bail ins" because there will be no "bail outs" this time, as happened in 2008. Techno-prophecies of a Technocratic New World Order run by robots and AI are pure insanity at this point, as the immediate future is going to be consumed with supply chain disruptions where it is going to be difficult to service the existing technology, as well as potential energy shortages and massive inflation. People are going to be more concerned about things like being able to fix their electric vehicles, or affording the electricity to power them, rather than worrying about robots and AI replacing them. And if a full blown kinetic war breaks out, the most pressing concern may be simply how to stay alive, and where to find one's next meal. There is almost nobody still alive in the U.S. today who went through WW II and the Great Depression, and even then, the war was "over there" in Europe, and the Pacific, and not in the heartland of the U.S. Massive cyber attacks, power grid failures, and supply chain disruptions could very well be in our not-too-distant future, or even worse. Look at what the people in Ohio near East Palestine are currently suffering through, and we still do not know the full scope of that disaster. Which side is more believable? The technocrats' side that keeps making techno-prophecies about how the technology is going to evolve and take over the world replacing human beings, or the side that has been written about in the Scriptures for over 2000 years, that the earth is going to be destroyed and that a new one is going to be created, ruled by Jesus Christ?

“Dataism” is the New Religion of AI and Transhumanism: Those Who Own and Control the Data Control Life

Yuval Noah Harari is an Israeli professor in the Department of History at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He is one of the leading technocrats today who promotes Artificial Intelligence (AI) and makes techno-prophecies about the future, claiming that AI is advancing so rapidly, that we are the last generation of homo sapiens, because transhumans will soon replace us. Harari makes it clear that "dataism" is the new religion that fuels AI, and he claims: "We are probably one of the last generations of homo sapiens. Within a century or two earth will be dominated by entities that are more different from us than we are different from neanderthals or from chimpanzees. Because in the coming generations, we will learn how to engineer bodies and brains and minds. Now how exactly will the future masters of the planet look like? This will be decided by the people who own the data. Those who control the data control the future, not just of humanity, but the future of life itself, because data is the most important asset in the world." Yuval Noah Harari believes that one day we will be able to "hack humans", because he believes that the human mind is no different than a computer, and our thoughts are simply "biochemical algorithms." This is a religion, not science. It is based on a Darwinian biological view of life, which sees reality as simply the observations of the physical world, ignoring the human soul and spirit. In this new religion called "dataism," you must surrender your data to the network, whether you want to or not, because refusing to share all the personal data of your life is "a sin."

The Kingdom of God is not a Matter of Talk but of Power

In the New Testament section of the Bible, there are two letters written by the ambassador (apostle) Paul to a city in Greece, Corinth. As I wrote last week in regards to the first of these letters, the letter was written to believers in that city who were divided by factions, following their "heroes" who helped teach them about the Messiah, Jesus Christ. Paul found himself in the center of this controversy, and explained that the believers there were immature, because they did not understand the difference between "natural knowledge" and "Spiritual wisdom." Another point that Paul made, and which is the topic of this article, is that: "The kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power." (1 Corinthians 4:20) The context in which Paul wrote this in chapter 4 in his first letter to the Corinthians, was addressing some people among the believers who were taunting Paul and were arrogant. Paul basically said that talk is cheap, and that he would find out what kind of "power" they had when he came to visit them. He wrote: "Some of you have become arrogant, as if I were not coming to you. But I will come to you very soon, if the Lord is willing, and then I will find out not only how these arrogant people are talking, but what power they have. For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power. What do you prefer? Shall I come to you with a whip, or in love and with a gentle spirit?" (1 Corinthians 4:18-21) A man identified as "Apollos" and who was a preacher and teacher in the New Testament faith, had visited the believers in Corinth, and apparently he was very gifted in oratory skills as an accomplished public speaker. But Paul made it very clear that when he had arrived in their city and began the work of teaching people about the Kingdom of God, that he did not rely on master oratory and debate skills, but on the power of God, usually demonstrated in healing people and the casting out of demons. He wrote: "My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, so that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power." (1 Corinthians 2:4-5) So what is this "power" that Paul was referring to?
