So on this blog I tend to get a wide audience who read articles and respond. I get believers of different persuasions from Calvinist, to Messianic, to Pentecostal, to Fundamental, I get non-believers Atheist and Agnostics. And I love the mix and dialogue. Atheist and Agnostics say the cutest things at times. I say that in jest they say the darndest things. Accuse believers of blindly accepting a delusion of the mind. Which is find that’s their belief however sometimes I have to really deal with the issues presented. I as a person of faith take issue with false assumptions and broad sweeping statement declaring all believers to be irrational and unlearned. I hope if anything people who read my blog see that I am learned some in College, some in Bible College, a lot on my own. I’m a self learning disciples of Yeshua and life. So when I received a comment saying in essence Christian’s don’t research before blindly jumping in a wild circle of viper testing loons. Well it wasn’t that bad but its funny when people says believers are unlearned and don’t do enough research before coming to faith. On that note here is how I responded.
Really, wow! Assumptions are bad. If you read this blog you will find many things discussion on comparative religion, history, even discussion of aliens and dinosaurs. You may believe that “christians” do little research before committing to it.
That is false I know for in my case. I spent a lot of time studying different religions, going to the library and checking out books on many topics of religion and different religions. Much of what I’ve found I’ve posted here. You can search and find related topics on a host of issues. I studied for years and continue to. Its is not a healthy intellectual excercise to assume and lump a whole group of people into one category.
It’s good you at least acknowledge Yeshua as a great man, which He was and very much more, a prophet, a rabbi, and yes, G-d. But as you hold that in contention there are other points that matter.
For the issue of Sin, that all religion accept and deal with, thus the need for said religions. Only one removes sin completely without a work of your own except confession and believing. Yeshua did all the work.
Whether you accept that as true. Academically Yeshua is a historically accepted person. And for a majority the people and places in the bible actually existed when and where they bible said they existed. Archeology has proven that to be true.
You may as some do question the validity of the claims of the writers and that’s something you should consider and even pray even if you don’t believe in G-d He still believes in and love you.
There are a few good books from Lawyers and Scientist who started out to disprove G-d and Messiah and in the end they put their faith in Him because the evidence for Him and what He did is overwhelming. Of course there are dissenter, people who like to debate and offer conjecture. This doesn’t diminish the historical nature of the bible and the people in it. It just puts the people who debate it in a different light.
Did you know that Newton wrote the Law’s he did to INTENTIONAL DISPROVE evolution? He did, Newton was a Theist. He believed in G-d as creator.
Do you believe in the “Law of Gravity“? Of course you do you’re not floating into outer space.
Do you believe in the “Law of Inertia“? Of course you do because when you push the gas petal on your car you want it to move and when you hit the break you want it to stop.
Do you believe in the “Law of Conservation of Mater”? That no mater is created only that mater may reconstitute itself or be turned into something else?
Do you believe in the “Law of Theromo-Dynamics”? That all things are decaying or in a state of decay over time not evolving.
When you look at the Law of Inertia it states that for something to move something must move it, for something to stop something must stop it. Correct? If that’s the case who started stirring the big pot before the big bang? And if the big bang stopped who stopped it? Someone or something had to.
If macro evolution happened why is there no proof it is still happening? None of the supposed missing links have been found. There is only proof for micro evolution or adaptation, in essence survival of the fittest, the strong live the week die but no proof of species change, just theory.
I put my faith in a historical book and historical people and the G-d of those historical people in that historical book.
Those who reject that put their faith in a “theory” that’s great and all but “theories” don’t hold up against the Laws of Physics and Nature.
Unproven and dearly held “Theories” are nice bed time stories but nothing to put you trust and faith in.
You put your faith in your next breath but if all oxygen was taken from you that breath would be gone in an instance. you put your faith in the love you have for people for parents and loves ones but what if that was taken in a moment?
We were made in the image of G-d with a body, soul and a spiritual nature. We seek to feed out body, engage or soul and have an innate desire to explore spirituality. All may disagree to agree or agree to disagree on different tenets but all have a desire in us from our creator for such intangible things as love, hope, friendship, connection. All intangible things that a primordial slug can’t give you.
Yeshua whether you believe Him to be Prophet, G-d or man, died for the sins of the world fulfilling the prophecies from the Tanak and fulfilling the requirements of Torah. Whether you accept or reject Him while and before we we’re yet in sin He died for us because He loves us.
If your missing, love, friendship or community and in need of some unconditional love. He has that for you. Seek Him with all your heart and He will be found by you.
Before man existed on this planet in the Age of the Dinosaurs G-d was there, whether you believe there are beings from other planets who are or have not been here, the Creator of all is everywhere.
The finger prints of G-d are everywhere from the Swiss Alps, to beautiful Sun Beaches. From mountain to valley from sunrise to sunset.
There is order in this world. We exist in a symbiotic sphere in which we need the things here and the things here need us. The air we breathe out feeds the leafs, the air the leaves breathe out feed us. The water on the ground evaporates and returns to water the grass. Many plants and bird species need each other to exist. We all need each other in one way or another.
Due to mans neglect and mismanagement we have seen a destruction and decline of good things in nature and must preserve and restore. Adonai gave us charge over the works of His hand and mankind has been unfaithful and scrupulous destroying the good that G-d made.
You may not believe in Elohim, Adonai, HaShem or Yeshua, or whatever name upon which people may confer upon G-d. But He believes in you other wise you would not exist.
I’m sure as an “Atheist” you agree to disagree. Fine look at the merits of some of the points and consider the possibility.
And how about this pray a prayer not of faith but a question. Ask G-d a question and don’t let anyone person answer you. Wait until you get your answer whether you get an answer or not go on about your life until you do. Then see what happens. I know this “Let G-d be true and every man a liar.” G-d is faithful to watch over His word to perform it. He is even faithful to the faithless. Yes those who don’t believe in Him He sustains cares for and loves without precondition and you don’t have to love Him back to enjoy food, health, intelligent, life and thought. All you have to do is enjoy the free gifts of live, love and any perfect and good gift. Because all good and perfect gifts come from The L-RD.
I’m sure one little response can’t persuade you to believe as I but consider this. Not all Christian’s are unstudied and unlearned. Not all Christians have come to faith by some blind rapturous preaching repent before you die. Some came to faith because G-d healed them, spoke to them and more importantly many came to them because they studied things out and choose to.
Adonai says “Come let US REASON TOGETHER.” That is what He wants to do with you. Walk with you and talk with you in the cool of the day. Breathe a prayer. There is nothing to fear if you don’t believe in Him and He doesn’t exist nothing will happen. If you don’t believe in Him and something does happen because He does exist it is because He is faithful even to the faithless.
In Messiah there is good news, healing and love.
In “Christianity” and “Churchianity” and Religion you will find hypocrites and pharisee’s but practitioners of religion don’t always know the author of their religion. The beauty of the “Christian” experience is a its a life long journey of discover. Sure there are road bumps and people who do things that they should but in any religion that happens.
The only true detractors are choices. Do not blame others for choices you make. Take responsibility and seek forgiveness and love.
Adonai promise’s peace and everlasting life.
You may say hogwash. Okay fine.
There are things that have been proven in science. There are “After-Death” experiences medically recorded events were people come back from the dead and they all tell similar stories. “Coincidence”? I say no, that many and that consistent it can not be a coincidence.
Even in death its been studied that there is a weight to your soul. Or more simple at death there is an intangible causation of change in weight upon one’s death and the amount of weight lost has been measured. You can disagree with the weight of the soul. Fine. You can disagree with near death of after life experience fine.
But here is a simple challenge. If you die do you know what happens. No, none of us do. Not even those of us who believe in the after life. We are simply seeking to be prepared the best we can.
Look at it like fire insurance which you buy for when there is a fire to recover what is lost, correct? Faith is an assurance that the one we love, Adonai, G-d and Messiah Yeshua are going to accept us into heaven because we have become apart of His family and will dwell in His house and tents for eternity. If we are wrong we have lived a good life and simply die.
However if are right those who disagree and reject the gift of love and salvation don’t have the key to get in the door. They go to the place all souls go that are lost. Making a choice now protects you. As long as you live you have freewill to choose.
Choose this day, or any day you choose whom you shall serve. Yourself, other, global oligarchies, secret societies, man, politics, science… people believe things all the time.
What do you believe? Do you believe in child safety laws? Do you believe in fair labor laws? Those are social issues with moral implications.
Adonai-Yeshua have laid out the basis of moral code and law in scripture. We have been shown by G-d whats right and wrong.
The choice to do good and live justly is a moral choice. Do you choose to be a responsible citizen who respects others and seeks to do good then you are on a moral path. Morality is defined by Adonai. You may choose some precepts of morality because of their good for you. He chose you out of simple love.
May you be blessed in the Shalom of HaShem and be accepted into His Mishpacha (Family) based on your own journey and choice at a time of your choosing.
Oh, on a note I left out Darwin believed in a “Theistic” evolution. The stages of Evolution are based upon his view that Genesis is a blue-print and what it says happened in a day happened over hundreds of thousand of year. As you see the sea animals, birds and reptiles came before man-imals, mammals, beasts and the like as is listed in Genesis. I meant to say that but well here it is now/
