1 | The Sons of God in Genesis 6:1-4 | Genesis | charis | 30720 | ||
Dear Jesusman, Greetings in Jesus' name! You don't scare me! :-) But... Though we have many peripheral encouragements in the facts of history, science, and common sense, our faith is not based on them. "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the men of old gained approval. By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible." Heb 11:1-3 NASB. In Christ Jesus, charis |

Just because something is invisible, does not mean that there is no proof that is exists. History, Science, and common sense go hand in hand with faith. A Scientist has faith in the Scientific Method long before he even begins to theorize. A historian has faith in the research of his predecessors long before he begins to reaches for a book.

Dear Jesusman, Greetings in the name of Jesus! You said, "History, Science, and common sense go hand in hand with faith." Not in my book! Though I have a healthy respect for these things, they don't hold a candle to faith. None of them will save me! :-) Peace to you in Christ Jesus, charis |

My point was not to suggest that History, Science, and Common sense could save you. However, there are many who have come to "Faith" though History, Science, and Common Sense. These things can either lead us to saving faith or they can edify our faith. That is the point that I am trying to make. History and Science should not be overlooked merely because we have Faith to stand on. History and Science should be utilized because they are the process by which we examine God's creation. At one time in my life, I took almost everything upon Faith, and ignored everything else. Then I picked up a National Geographic magazine and began to read articles about nature, history, and science. By studying the history and science behind the passages in the Bible, I feel that not only have I gained a deeper understanding of God's word, but that my Faith is stronger because I see his creative majesty and divine authority all around me. People come up to me and ask me where in nature I see God and his works. I turn to them and say that I see nothing but God and his works. Faith took me so far, but Faith with History and Science has taken me even further. Jesus Loves You! Jesusman |
