This may be my last post for time being. I am running out of ideas. I will post more when I accumulate drafts, but it will be a Saturday you will not expect. Sounds like Matthew 24:44.
Bible vs. evolution
The majority of atheists admit they don’t want there to be a God. But don’t they want a God that will defeat evil and save them from death, not to mention put an end to COVID?
But those who love God often leave the Church because they deem Christianity to conflict with the established facts of science. They deem evolution to prove the Bible unrealiable, that if the Genesis account of Creation can’t be believed, no part of the Bible can be trusted. They insist that the “history” in the Bible is just corrupt oral tradition.
But young-Earth creationists insist that the Bible should take precedence over science and that evolution doesn’t prove the Bible unrealiable, it’s the other way around – the Bible proves science unreliable.
One verse used to support the idea that evidence for evolution was placed to test our faith in the Genesis account of creation, and that transistional forms were created as fossils and never lived. 2 Thessalonians 2:9-11 is used to support that. Evolution may be the “strong delusion” referred to by that verse. The main problem is Hebrews 6:18 which says that God cannot lie, and atheists know it. Also, the “strong delusion” of 2 Thessalonians 2:11 more likely is alien deception. Evidence for evolution would more likely “false signs and wonders” of 2 Thessalonians 2:9. I wonder why 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 is not on talkorigins.org
Censorship could be to blame for atheism. Evidence for God may be censored because the atheistic liberals are afraid the information will convince or sway people of the reality of God.
Hatred for God
Some people leave the Church because they hate God, insisting “God wouldn’t forbid such a good thing.” They ask “What’s so wrong with X that God would hate it?” They think God falsely forbids certain things like magic practices. Some believe in God but wish he didn’t exist. They insist that God falsely declares people to deserve hell. It’s BECAUSE God hates the sins people love that the people hate God.
They even tell Jahveh or Allah “Give me an honest answer!” But in ALL-CAPS H1 with a bunch of exclamation points (!) after it, which I will not write because I know it would be obnoxious. Yelling on top of their lungs! When I say H1, I mean… well, just think of HTML tags.
I insist that if God loved the lusts of the flesh, or rather just loved what appeals to mankind, loves what’s attractive, and didn’t punish people for doing whatever they love, more people would love God, and overall people would love God more. But God insists in my head “Not necessarily!”
Can there be a revival?
I hope for the LGBTQ+ Community to suffer the same fate as the hippie culture of the late-60’s, and for a seventh Great Awakening to occur. I’m referring to the movie Jesus Revolution.
Many religions
There are exactly two groups of religion: Christian and non-Christian. Catholicism, Lutheranism, Calvinism, Anglicanism, and Eastern Orthodoxy as well as the Free Church belong to the Christian group, all other religions (including Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism) belong to the non-Chrisitan group.
Evidence and belief
We can’t prove that God doesn’t exist. The existence of God is not testable. The existence or inexistence of God is beyond the realm of science. Neither can science disprove life after death, whether it be reincarnation or heaven.
If atheists see Jesus return in the rapture, you’d think they would say “Oh! Now I believe in him now that I see him.” But that’s not believing. That’s walking by sight.
Just because the none of the religion’s god’s are real doesn’t mean there is no God. It also doesn’t mean there is no life after death. I’m thinking of an abstract religion.
Reincarnation is fully compatible with evolution. And evolution is compatible with belief in God, just not with belief in the Christian god.
