There is one truth out there and it is for us to explore. Today's thought is there are many truths and many paths. People just don't want to hear it. Like the citizens of Sodom or the crowds of Athens, they will rush to stop the truth from being spoken. I'm just out of sync with the world.
Some well meaning Christians look at this and try to explain it as worldviews. That people have been conditioned and influenced by the world around them and we need to challenge their worldview. I don't want to sound pessimistic but I look at it as a darkening of the mind by the hand of God. And I believe it's to bring about that crisis that your daughter so wisely identified. Whether judgment day is fast approaching is difficult to say. But if there was ever a time that the true end was fast approaching, in looking throughout history, it is now.
Ecc 12:12-13 My son, beware of anything beyond these. Of making many books there is no end, and much study is a weariness of the flesh. The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.
I have had an amazing journey.
Confronted by secular skeptics as I have tried to communicate what I knew, I was forced to do some homework.
It seems to be my nature to never be in a position to not know something. I can’t help myself.
As I distilled the arguments I realized that there are only a few fundamental aspects that are the foundation of ones belief.
I explored other religions, I read the Quran, I dove into Buddhism and while I found some value in Judaism, it has an exclusivity that left me empty. I did the science and the math of Darwinism. The debates are nearly identical to those between liberals and conservatives. Sad.
To be honest, I am left with only two possibilities.
Life on Earth is a function of what we know in genesis and or we where seeded by Aliens. The math for aliens is extraordinary to say the least. Evolution is mathematically impossible.
I know these things to be true.
The physics of Buddhism has some appeal as you consider what is possible.
The undeniable fact of the resurrection of Christ narrows ones choices.
I can’t quote the bible to anyone.
Maybe I am a reluctant Christian. I found Christ from a personal crisis and I have rediscovered the truth through the process of elimination.
When I open my eyes it is all I can do to keep from falling to my knees.
