Subject: From Ooze or from God? |
Bible Note: Dear Hank, I am of course of the persuasion that our Divine Creator most certainly had a hand in it! :) For the first ten or so years after I first sincerely asked Jesus to come into my heart, the one reasoning that seemed to keep me going was: What are we doing here anyway? If we didn't emerge from primordial ooze, then why? The only 'solid' conclusion that I could come up with is that there was a God and we had a purpose! Our purpose is to follow Him and please Him with our lives. If we base our existence on primordial ooze, then there is no reason whatsoever for our existence, and we might as well live our lives any way that we want to, since all we are doing here is pleasing ourselves anyways.. There is no purpose for our lives based on our origin in ooze. And that is where I see the 'great gulf' forming in the present 'world view' and the Christian world view, or view that God is the Creator and Sustainer of all things. We live on earth for a purpose!! --Nolan |
