“For I am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have entrusted to Him... “
Having a God who watches over the Universe for 13 billion years before people exist demonstrates a lot more commitment than one that puts it all together in 7 days. You could have a God that puts it all together 5 minutes ago but implants the memories and details needed to make it seem much longer. How would we know otherwise?
Now if Jesus Christ (John 1) had to resort to an energy called evolution by fallen, sinful men in order to raise Lazarus from the dead, He would still be standing outside the burial cave and Lazarus would still be dead.
That 1917 introductory quote by Rudolph Steiner is amazing given the recent vax program to genetically transform homo sapiens into cyborgs. The demonic psychos never give up, do they? They (totalitarians) are obsessed with gaining control of the Holy Spirit, which equates to capturing God.
Given all the details that had to happen for Intelligent life to arise on Earth it is hard to conclude there was not a Creator. That does not stop the dedicated non believers. They just claim an infinite amount of Universes so that any particular one that exists , however improbable ,will still happen. Such a view requires a lot more faith than any Religion!
But then, how much faith does it require to demand that God must have created the world in a way that shows proof of his existence? I’m content to believe that we don’t have all the answers yet. If God needed us to know everything, we would.
The article is well expressed.
Thanks for posting. I have never seen the source site before.
Makes no difference, it is well done.
As a Believer, I have always had a hard time accepting the theory of Evolution. However, I now believe that Democrats are descended from pond scum and are the product of the infinite negative mutations that had to have taken place. Since mutations create biological defects in a species it stands to reason that Democrats are dumber than pond scum. Which is why we need to drain the swamp.
Was God a *trickster* when He created man as an adult, with the appearance of age?
Or was it necessary instead of laying a sperm and egg on the ground and letting whatever happened happen?
Seriously? Creating a world ready to move into fit for human habitation is not *tricking* anyone. If I wanted to be courteous enough to rent out a brand new apartment and furnish it, stock it with food, toiletries, cleaning supplies, bedding, towels etc, everything someone could want to move in and start off with no needs or wants, would I be a *trickster* when I advertised it as brand new, never having been lived in?
Honestly, what are you guys so suspicious about that you could be so cynical about God and His motives that you’d accuse Him of stuff like that?
At the very least we know that by their own free will choosing they are hairless monkeys pretending to be humans :-)
No, they can't give up because the spirit of death, that Psychopath par excellence, compels them onward, ever deeper into the downward sloping vortex that ends in hell.
Yes, the living souls He has given each one of us we give to Him that He may keep them safe from the one who kills, steals, and destroys.
Democrats, by and large, are reprobates.
How is simply observing the facts a demand? We live in a world immersed in oxygen yet it is a very reactive gas that one would not expect to find outside of a compound . Flourine is also a very reactive element and with the exception of very rare cases you won’t find it in its elemental state. Chemists actually died trying to do that before a way was discovered.
If you were to imply to me that God creates false illusions in order to fool us, I would simply deny it. There’s no need for me to be cynical.
Evolution is constant change over time, thus there can be no such thing as observable facts. There can only be nihilism (meaninglessness)
Evolution refutes itself over and over and over.
Explain how creating something ready to use is a “false illusion.”
