Subject: How to know God just from seeing nature? |
Bible Note: Hello Kalos, I fail to see where in Sir Pent's post that he said that nature itself bears witness to Christ as the Redeemer. He is not rationalizing, spiritualizing, allegorizing, speculating, or imagining that nature, in some way, produces salvation or faith on its own. Here is what Sir Pent was trying to do in these posts: Share his own interesting journey that led him away from atheism and back to the Christian faith. Nature played a great role in his 'journey', helping him to see that nature itself declares the existence of God! (Rom. 1:20, Job 12:10, Psalm 19 - which was quoted earlier by Searcher) This journey no doubt included much rationalism and 'thought' on his part, and he wanted to share that with us. I, for one, am glad that he did since it helps us to get to know him a little better. Sincerely, Nolan |
