GOD'S NOT DEAD!!!

Ignorance of the highest form is to make the bold declaration: "God's Dead". The fear of the unknown drives one to block out any possibilities of its existence. What cannot be explained is discarded as nonsense and impossible. Truth is ... ignorance is not an excuse. Ignorance is a choice; a bold step to know less than more.

People like to do battle between science and God. They're always trying to explain why there's no such thing as God through theories and so-called wise sayings. They make a sentence that confuses many, but in sounding right, they accept and acclaim it as truth. This is as always ... the workings of the devil - the great deceiver. He likes to be smart, and thus, when one method of deception does not work ... he goes in for another ... calling it some fancy name like: "The Big Bang".

The innate workings of man is to grow in wisdom and understanding the workings of the earth in which he lives. Unfortunately, the devil, in an attempt to mislead, brings out various meanings to things created himself to cause a blinding of the truth. In other words, he makes something, creates a "sensible" meaning to it, and then spreads it as truth. By doing this, he takes the eyes of men of God's creation and reason for that creation.

What am I saying? Well ... it's simple. If God truly does not exist, then how did anything come to be? Science tries to go round in countless circles avoiding the truth, and hence brings about so many confusing theories that in actual sense do corroborate The Creator and the creation story. The big bang? Well ... there certainly was a big bang when God said let there be light and the uncountable billions of stars appeared out of nothing. 3×10 to the power 8, I believe, is the speed of light. Coming out of the mouth of God at such a speed would definitely create a big ... or better still ... a huge bang! I mean come on ... if the sun, whose heat is greatly unbearable from such a distance as we are from it, which is neither the biggest nor brightest star there is in this universe, came out of God's mouth at the command "Let there be light...", you really think there would not be a big bang when all those lights came out of that command? Think about it ... that's only for the lights ... I haven't even mentioned the waters, lands, nature, plant and animal life, clouds, planets, or the elements.

This is my favorite quote by far - "Nonsense remains nonsense, even when spoken by famous scientists." -- John Lennox

Now, let me go into my current favorite question: "If there's a God out there who loves and cares about us, why does He allow all these bad things going on in the world to occur? The storms and wars and destruction ... if there really is a God who is all good and all powerful, why does he allow evil to exist?" The first time I heard this question I did not know how I would answer it. In fact, I had no idea how to answer it till I watched the movie 'God's Not Dead'; a movie that teaches a lot about God. The funny thing was, I knew the answer all along, only I didn't know that it was the answer. The answer, quite simply I might add, is Free Will. God gave man the ability to make choices - Free Will. He does not impose because He is God. He is fair and just, and so allows us to choose ... hoping we would make the right choice and choose life, rather than death. From the Christian stand point, God tolerates evil in this world on a temporary basis, so that one day those who choose to love Him freely will dwell with Him in heaven free from the influence of evil, but ... (and here's my favorite part of this explanation as giving by Josh Wheaton, the main character in the God's Not Dead, who 'defends' God before his class to His lecturer, an Atheist) ... with their free will IN TACT. In other words, God's intention concerning evil is to one day destroy it.

The reason many conclude God's dead is simply because He did not answer some earnest prayer request concerning a particular thing, and so they turn angry, hate God, and conclude He does not exist. But ... if He does not exist ... how can you hate someone ... if they don't exist?

"If God does not exist ... then everything is PERMISSIBLE." ...and also POINTLESS!

Ignorance is never an excuse, and it remains a sin. Search for the truth. Do not rely on what people say ... find it out for yourself.

 

I will conclude with this ... To those who think they're living a 'good life'. These are the words of a wise old woman living with dementia - "Sometimes, the devil allows people to live a life free of trouble because he doesn't want them turning to God. Sin is like a jail cell, except it's all nice and comfy, and there doesn't seem to be any need to leave. The door is wide open, so one day, time runs out and the cell door's slammed shut, and suddenly ... it's too late." You would do well to heed this.

GOD'S NOT DEAD!!!
