Subject: The Certainty of God! |
Bible Note: I'm thinking the most powerful statement from God is the very first verse of the Bible. Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. From there the narrative describes the whole story of the Creation. It's far more complete and easier to believe than the other competition from around the world. I understand there are many good solid websites which promote God's Existence, Creationism and Evidences for Christianity. Just insert these kind of words into your Search Engine and you'll find them. Now there's just one problem with the Bible and this topic. The Scriptures don't come right out and prove "beyond a shadow of a doubt" there is a God. Paul does a pretty good job, about as good as anyone else in Romans 1. So we're left with gathering evidence, ie witness accounts from Josephus, the Dead Sea Scrolls and archelogical evidence. Then there's circumstantial evidence, you know the stuff they gotta settle for in a court of law to convict a criminal. When you put it altogether, I'm thinking an objective person concludes with just one thought. Oh and there's books on this stuff. I got one for my library just a couple of days ago, written by a former atheist, Les Strobel. The title: The Case for Christ. I'm looking forward to reading it. After all this, God does tell us one item in warning... Ps 53:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. You see God wants us to accept Him AND believe Him on Faith. IF we could study all the above and come to an absolute, empirical conclusion there is God, then that would NOT be faith. Remember... Heb 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. That's all I can think to say, partner. Go with God in all things. Bill |
