“There is no evidence for absolute morality.” John Williams
Actually, there are two immutable evidences. God wrote His Law (The Ten Commandments) in stone for a reason. It’s not going away. It will judge humanity on Judgment Day (see Romans 2:12, James 2:12). And it is written on your heart via your God-given, society-shaped conscience. You are therefore without excuse.
Evolutionists ignore other interpretations of the data. Unlike a forensic scientist who tries to look at all different angles for how the crime may have been committed and by whom, evolutionists are committed to their interpretation of the evidence. Few stop to question the assumptions of millions of years or evolution. Biblical creation—even if it provides a far more consistent and better explanation of the evidence—is automatically rejected because it doesn’t match with the starting assumptions of secular scientists.

The staunch atheist has the zeal of a religious fanatic. He is fundamental in his belief that there is no God, and armed with basic Richard Dawkins phrases, he is ready for a fight. For him, atheistic evolution is a hill to die on, because that worldview opens up a pleasurable world of immorality. He thinks that it gives him license for fornication, pornography, and every other sinful pleasure his wicked heart desires. To him, there are no moral absolutes, because there is no God, and therefore no Moral Law. He is unreasonable, angry, bitter at God, and will color his speech by blaspheming the name of the God he doesn’t believe exists. The atheist is someone who pretends that there is no God.
"Delivering infinite punishment for finite transgressions is clearly unjust." Ian M.
Our courts have infinite punishment for finite transgressions. Someone who is executed by the courts for treason (a finite crime) receives an infinite punishment. They lose their life forever.
Please, stop complaining about what you consider to be God's "sins," and look at your own. See www.needGod.com
A good punishment for Josh Duggar?
Since as a young teen, Josh fondled girls, which could damage their trust of men, which could damage their future marriage, which could damage their future family, we should make Josh Duggar work the rest of his life to help families stay together and help them recognize how twisted the world is and how God offers instruction on how to live righteously! He should be forced to push faith, family and freedom in the public showing the Christian worldview has the answers.
We should force him to get a job at the Family Research Council* whose mission is "to advance faith, family and freedom in public policy and the culture from a Christian worldview."
That would be a great punishment!
But wait! He already asked forgiveness, went to the authorities, went through counseling, and was honest and open about his sin to those who needed to know. He already served "his punishment."
In reality, that would be a great calling for his life's work, demonstrating the amazing grace of God to the world!
*Edited because some people don't realize that Josh was working at the Family Research Council when this came out. This is from the Family Research Council President Tony Perkins.
"Washington, D.C. - Family Research Council President Tony Perkins released the following statement regarding the resignation of Josh Duggar:
"Today Josh Duggar made the decision to resign his position as a result of previously unknown information becoming public concerning events that occurred during his teenage years.
"Josh believes that the situation will make it difficult for him to be effective in his current work. We believe this is the best decision for Josh and his family at this time. We will be praying for everyone involved," concluded Perkins.

Steve Irwin's death was news again recently, after his cameraman said that his last words were, "I'm dying." The wildlife expert lived on the edge, and got his thrills by messing around with killer animals.
Another Australian (a 19 year-old) is on life support after he played Russian roulette, and lost. His mother posted on Facebook: “Come on son — please please fight like you always have — no words can explain how desperate we are for you to just hang on and fight.”
They took a chance with their lives because they thought that they could beat the odds. The world does that sort of thing daily. But you're a Christian. You know better than to take risks with the precious gift of life God has given you.
Or do you? Perhaps you're an Adrenalin junkie and need a fix. Okay. Here's one that will put you on the edge but probably won't put your life on the line.
Get a soapbox (a plastic milk crate will do). Go to your local university, stand on it, lift up your voice like a trumpet and ask if your hearers think there's an afterlife.
Then preach the gospel. Do you have the backbone to do that? I suspect that you don't. Prove me wrong.
Write in the comments that you want to do this, and if enough people are interested, I will post further details on what to do....feel the fear.
Janet and I want to affirm our support for the Duggar family. Josh’s actions when he was an underage teen are as he described them himself, 'inexcusable,' but that doesn’t mean 'unforgivable.' He and his family dealt with it and were honest and open about it with the victims and the authorities. No purpose whatsoever is served by those who are now trying to discredit Josh or his family by sensationalizing the story. Good people make mistakes and do regrettable and even disgusting things. The reason that the law protects disclosure of many actions on the part of a minor is that the society has traditionally understood something that today’s blood-thirsty media does not understand—that being a minor means that one's judgement is not mature. No one needs to defend Josh’s actions as a teenager, but the fact that he confessed his sins to those he harmed, sought help, and has gone forward to live a responsible and circumspect life as an adult is testament to his family’s authenticity and humility. Those who have enjoyed revealing this long ago sins in order to discredit the Duggar family have actually revealed their own insensitive bloodthirst, for there was no consideration of the fact that the victims wanted this to be left in the past and ultimately a judge had the information on file destroyed—not to protect Josh, but the innocent victims. Janet and I love Jim Bob and Michelle and their entire family. They are no more perfect a family than any family, but their Christian witness is not marred in our eyes because following Christ is not a declaration of our perfection, but of HIS perfection. It is precisely because we are all sinners that we need His grace and His forgiveness. We have been blessed to receive God’s love and we would do no less than to extend our love and support for our friends. In fact, it is such times as this, when real friends show up and stand up. Today, Janet and I want to show up and stand up for our friends. Let others run from them. We will run to them with our support.
“I am against abortion. I see it as murder. I preach against it; however, it is legal in my country. I would love to see it criminalized however my concern is that if it were made illegal the practice would continue in the black market without even a slowdown. But while it is legal the practice is at least governed by health department rules. Given that many of the woman are actually scared young girls, is it not better that their health is at least looked after by laws?” Rudy Du Plooy
#?sarcasm?# I am against the shooting of Jewish families and would like to see it criminalized. But my concern is that if it were made illegal, Nazis would continue to shoot them. At least if it's sanctioned by the government it is done properly. Many of those killing the families are just scared young Nazis—just children. If the murders were legal it would be better for their health. #sarcasm#

"My point is Eric, is that you and Ray both acknowledge science when it fits your needs. Since science has determined that man is an animal and an ape, why don't you accept that?" ~Debra
Debra, we love Science because it points to The Creator. God's attributes are clearly seen through the laws of Science, Physics, and Mathematics. Like Him, these laws are immaterial, unchanging, and universal.
You say that science has determined that man is an animal. How has it done this? When you give attributes to Science which it does not possess, you are committing a Logical fallacy called Reification. Science does not determine anything. Fallible men study science and come to different conclusions - but they are often mistaken.

“Read this and weep Ray. Christianity is dying a very fast death in the USA. Latest Pew Forum poll shows all religious denominations failing—” --Christianity Irrelevant
Mr. Irrelevant. I had already read that study before you sent it, and I thought about how good it is that so many false converts are falling away, just as the Scriptures said they would.
Modern evangelistic methods have filled the Church with tares among the wheat, bad fish among the good, goats among the sheep—and we are told that there are three ways they can be sorted out before the Day of Judgment: 1. Tribulation, 2. Temptation (the Internet sure does that), and 3. Persecution (that’s easy to see coming).
However, this poll shows that adults who identify as Christians are “just under 71%, or approximately 173 million Americans.” Think of it, 173 million Americans call themselves Christians, and we don’t even have the political clout to outlaw the murder of children in the womb.
So there are still millions that are sitting among God’s people, yet they are strangers to true conversion.

It is funny how you want your Mosque protected from a threat, but think it's Pam Gellers fault and she brought it on herself. You may have people like Obama in your pocket, but remember main stream America is not. I live close to Dearborn and I can personally tell you eventually your strategy of infiltration and out breeding us will bring things to a head. When that happens, you will lose. Not only because we are morally superior to you, better armed than you and more civilized than you, but because your religion is one of death and evil and evil never wins. I don't say that from a religious perspective because I'm not. I say it from an American perspective. God created America with his blessing. He is on our side not yours. He gave us a America, he gave you a desert. Your God is one of death and subjugation like Satan. Our God is one of freedom and life---you will lose. Plus, I've seen how you all run like cowards every time your in a fight so I'm not too concerned. We know what CAIR is: a terrorist group that works to protect Muslims and works against America. There are millions of us that are locked and loaded around Dearborn. Why act like cowards if your god is so great? Just bring it, we'll be waiting.
There is no Hell, if God doesn't care about justice, and is therefore morally repugnant. There is no Hell, if Jesus deceived His followers by continually lying about its existence. There is no Hell, if the Bible isn't to be trusted, because many times it warns of its existence. There is no Hell, for those who repent and trust alone in Jesus for their eternal salvation.
Let's imagine for a moment that we are here because of evolution. Let's take it from the top of the head and work down to the throat to see what sort of job evolution did.
There are headaches suffered by millions, brain hemorrhages, aneurysms, hair loss, dandruff, scalp itch, mental disease, panic attacks, insomnia, sleep apnea, brain cancer, pink eye, blindness, canker sores, cold sores, nearsightedness, conjunctivitis, styes, gum disorders, stuttering, nasal congestion, sinus problems, asthma, memory loss, hay fever, ringing in the ears, heartburn, acid reflux, nausea, head lice, nasal sores, acne, strep throat, epilepsy, stroke, vertigo, lockjaw, shortness of breath, skin cancer, throat cancer, overcrowding of the teeth, deafness, ear ache, tooth ache, shingles, snoring, thyroid disorders, tooth grinding, head colds, and nightmares.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg of diseases we can all get. We haven't even looked below the neck--at the heart, the blood, bones, muscles, liver, pancreas, lungs, etc.
Evolution didn't do a very good job did it? And what's more, evolution believers have no explanation for all these diseases. That's just how it is, and we have to deal with it, until death takes us.
Evolution leaves believers ignorant and utterly hopeless.
So let's stop imagining, and look at reality. The Bible says that we were made by God, and that in the beginning everything was "very good." There was no suffering, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, disease, and no death. But when sin came, it brought with it the Genesis curse. But even way back then God promised that He would redeem humanity by making a way to forgive our sins and grant us everlasting life.
So the Bible not only explains our origins, it explains why we have so much suffering, why death exists, and it offers eternal life and hope, through the gospel. Won't you please consider joining us in that glorious hope? Check out www.needGod.com

“Hi Ray Comfort, can you please tell me how you would recommend witnessing to a close relative who is a very convinced atheist, and who is dying of cancer? Many thanks.” Delphine R. Noah
We will pray for him. Maybe he will read this:
It was early in the morning. Very early. Most people in the airport looked as though they could have done with an extra week or so in bed. I was flying back from New York to Los Angeles waiting to board a plane when a tall man asked me, “What rows did they call?” I answered, “First class— the rich folks.” He smiled and said, “Yeah. The ones who should be going on their own Learjet.” I handed him a Million Dollar Bill tract and said, “Here’s the down payment on your Learjet.” When he smiled, I passed him a Department of Annoyance tract, and said, “And here’s my card.” He turned it over and to my horror began to read out loud the gospel message on the back—despite the fact that the text was printed in reverse to give me getaway time. When I quickly added, “It’s a gospel tract,” he mumbled “I’m an atheist.”
While atheism is the ultimate intellectual suicide, I can understand why some people are tempted to believe that there’s no God. The previous night I had listened to a CNN report that scientists had discovered why human beings are more intelligent than animals. I was intrigued with their assumption, and listened to how scientists believed that 20 million years ago we developed larger brains. They predicted that the human brain will continue to grow, giving us larger heads. This will mean that future generations will see more Cesarean births. I admired the newscaster’s ability to remain straight-faced.
A few minutes later, CNN reported that after a giant tsunami in Southeast Asia killed multitudes, authorities could hardly find any animals that died in the flooding. They surmised that the animals had some sort of intelligence that caused them to move to higher ground when the tsunami-causing earthquake struck. It was human beings who stayed on the beach to take pictures of the wave as it approached.
As I stood in line at the airport, the morning newspaper showed a picture of a ten-year-old piece of grilled cheese sandwich which was said to bear the likeness of the Virgin Mary. It was sold on eBay to an “intelligent” human, who paid $28,000 for it.
It is information like this that should help anyone with any intelligence to realize that humanity isn’t as intelligent as we are led to believe. While most Christians are too smart to bite into the error of Virgin Mary toast, they profess a faith that makes no sense. While watching TV in my hotel room the night before, I saw a well-known pastor talk about his book, which has sold a phenomenal 20 million copies. He said that God’s agenda for humanity was to “make our lives better.” That was a summation of his message.
Tell that to those who were burying tens of thousands of human corpses after the tsunami hit. Tell that to the fathers who hold the dead bodies of their beloved children in their arms, or to the relatives of those who died of horrific diseases. It doesn’t take much intelligence to realize that if there is a God who created all things, He must be all-powerful. Nothing is impossible for Him. He therefore could have easily prevented unspeakable agony by simply lifting His finger off the earthquake button. But He didn’t.
Yes, there is plenty of evidence (from cheese sandwiches to tsunamis) for a thinking person to conclude that a God of love who is all-powerful and wants to better the life of humanity doesn’t exist. If He did, He would immediately get a supply of good food to the starving in Africa so that their lives may be better, or at least provide some rain to grow their crops.
During that same day the tsunami hit, 150,000 other people died around the world—about 40,000 of starvation. If He wanted to make our lives better, perhaps He could also halt the parade of killer hurricanes that line up to regularly devastate the U.S., or He could slow down the hundreds of terrifying tornadoes that take precious human lives each year. Maybe He could even whisper to us a cure for the cancers that are killing millions annually, including innocent children.
A quick look at Jeremiah 9:21-24 gives the answer to this intellectual dilemma. How could God be loving and yet allow suffering? The Bible tells us that He is in control, and that He does send judgments to this earth. God is love, but He’s also just and holy and if He gave us what we deserve, the tsunami of His holiness would sweep us all into Hell.
Imagine you have knowledge that a bridge has been washed out by a terrible storm, on a dark and moonless night. You stop all approaching cars and say, “The bridge that spans a thousand-foot chasm has been washed away! Please turn your vehicle around.” The violence of the storm itself is enough to convince any thinking driver that you are speaking the truth, and those who have the sense to believe you do turn around.
Tsunamis, terrible diseases, agonizing cancers, massive earthquakes, devastating tornadoes, killer hurricanes, awful suffering, and death itself are very real and violent storms that should be enough to convince any thinking person that our warning is true.
The message of Christianity isn’t one of God wanting to better this life for humanity. It is one of warning of a terrible fate in store for those who continue on the road of sin. We are told by God’s Word that there are two deaths on the highway to Hell. The first death is when we leave the storms of this life and pass into timeless eternity. The second death is the chasm of eternal damnation. It is the terrifying justice of a holy God.
So with the cheese sandwich insanity, and the confusion about the message of Christianity, I could sympathize with my atheist friend in the airport. When he professed atheism it gave me the opportunity to humbly cite my atheist credentials. I said, “I wrote a book called God Doesn’t Believe in Atheists: Proof the Atheist Doesn’t Exist.” Then I told him that I was a platform speaker at the American Atheists’ national convention in 2001. I offered, “It’s really easy to prove God’s existence.” He replied, “It’s not healthy for me to talk about God.” I said that I could understand that, and added, “But you are a reasonable and open-minded person, so you can listen to me for two minutes.”
He gave me the okay, so I told him how he could know for sure that God existed, that God had given him a conscience and that if he even lusted after a woman, Jesus said that he had committed adultery already with her in his heart. I also mentioned that if a criminal was given a death sentence and he said to the judge, “But I don’t believe in the electric chair,” it didn’t change reality.
He politely listened, and said, “Well, I’d better board the plane.” He reached out his hand, shook mine and said, “My name is Pat.” I told him my name, watched him board, and prayed that he would read the literature that he still held in his hand— and that he would have the intelligence to believe the words of warning.
One other thing. We know that God exists for the same reason we know when we look at a building, that a builder built it. Buildings don’t build themselves. And neither did creation (Nature) make itself. That is a scientific impossibility.
“Most unsaved people don't know they need rescuing! The Bible teaches that the unbeliever doesn't know God or even want to know God! That gives it a little scarier twist! However, in witnessing, you may meet that one who is waiting and wanting to hear the Gospel, not knowing what they need, just knowing they need something!” Linda Bjork Anglin
There’s an old saying, “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink.” It’s not true. If you salt the horse’s oats, he will suddenly want to drink.
This sinful world needs righteousness, but it has about as much desire for it as a four year old boy has for the world “bath.”
The night of my salvation I has no desire for righteousness. None. But God’s Law put salt on my tongue. I read these words, “You have heard it said by them of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’” I nodded in affirmation. Made sense. Cool. No problem. But then I read, “But I say to you that whoever looks upon a woman to lust for her has committed adultery already with her in his heart.” I was suddenly horrified, saw my wicked heart and the impending wrath, and immediately cried, “What must I do to be made ‘right’?” I began to thirst for “righteousness.” This happened in a moment of time.
So don’t go around looking for people who are wanting to hear the gospel, because they are few and far between. Instead, do what Jesus did in Mark 10:17 and Paul did in Romans 2, and use the moral Law to put salt on the tongue of sin-loving, unconcerned sinners. The Law will make them thirst for righteousness, and embrace the gospel like a drowning man grabs a life-saver.

When Evolutionists say, "Evolution is a fact!" they might as well be saying, "Variations are a fact!" for that is all the evidence we see today from science. Yes, "variations" happen. No one is arguing with this. What we are disputing is the idea of "variations" leading to true Darwinian Evolution. This would be changing from one kind of animal into another kind of animal. When you teach this, you have stepped outside the realm of science and joined the realm of science fiction.
The eye was a headache for Darwin. But in time he was able to persuade himself that it evolved to a point of being able to see. It also evolved as a matching pair, both with lids, tear-ducts, the ability to blink, and connect with the evolving brain to make sense of what was seen.
By coincidence the same thing happened to over a million different kinds of birds, fish, animals and insects.
In truth, Darwin’s ridiculous belief was a futile excuse to try (like Adam) to hide from God, because of his guilt.
Imagine that you are looking at a luxury liner moving through calm waters. To your amazement about a dozen people jump off the ship, and cling to a lifeboat. You watch as the rest of the passengers stand on the ship and laugh at them.
You can understand their reaction. What those few people did was foolish. It made no sense. Suddenly, the ship hits an unseen iceberg and sinks, taking with it all who stayed on board. Now you see that those who seemed like fools were wise, but those who stayed on the ship and seemed to be wise, were fools.
We have in the Bible a command to jump off the luxury liner of this world. Before you laugh at stupid Christians, ask yourself if there is any proof that its claims are true. I would suggest that you take the time to read the Gospel of John, with a humble heart.
My main agenda as a Christian isn’t to intellectually prove to anyone that the Bible is the Word of God. Let’s say you’re a skeptic and I was able to convince you that Noah existed, that there was a worldwide catastrophic flood, and that he put all the “kinds” of animals on earth into a massive boat.
That’s just one small step in trying to convince you that the whole Book can be trusted. I may then still have to convince you that Adam was made from dirt, that Jonah was swallowed by a whale, that Jesus walked on water, and of many other Bible stories that are harder to swallow than Jonah’s whale.
It’s far easier for me just to share the biblical gospel and let God miraculously open blind your eyes. No one convinced me of the validity of the stories of the Bible. Rather, God supernaturally transformed me in an instant, so that I knew by experience that with Him nothing is impossible. The new birth is an undeniable personal miracle. Once that happens to you, then any other miracles are a breeze. The storm can be stopped, waves can be calmed, bread can be multiplied, and so can fish. Water can be walked on, Red Seas can be opened, lion’s mouths closed, and a stack of animals can fit into one big boat.
Major Publisher Retracts 43 Scientific Papers Amid Wider Fake Peer-review Scandal
A “peer review” is an evaluation of scientific, academic, or professional work by others working in the same field. According to the Washington Post,
“A major publisher of scholarly medical and science articles has retracted 43 papers because of ‘fabricated’ peer reviews amid signs of a broader fake peer review racket affecting many more publications.”
Here is the weak and shaky foundation upon which Darwinian evolution sits. To believers in evolution, if something is peer reviewed it is the gospel truth, and should be embraced.
The Washington Post further stated:
“With researchers increasingly desperate for recognition, citations and professional advancement, the whole peer-review system has come under scrutiny in recent years for a host of flaws and irregularities, ranging from lackadaisical reviewing to cronyism to outright fraud.”
Darwinian evolution (as Richard Dawkins likes to call it) is an outright fraud. Don’t believe it? Then watch "Evolution Vs. God," and see what the experts say (evolutionary scientists from UCLA and USC).
When liberals believe that the Constitution is a "evolving" document, they are using principles derived by a worldview which is evolutionary and also believes that man, at the top of the evolutionary process, is the "measure of all things." This is why they deliberately leave God out of our nation's history and government. Romans 1:18-23.
No sin is greater than the other.
But to say what is sin is okay.... now what kind of deception is that. There is no national campeign that yells out any other sin but same sex relations.
Do we have a fornication pride week? Parade? Do fornicators encourage teens that its okay to explore heterosexual relations, its moral and nobody should judge you? Nope.
See, we know its wrong, we do wrong anyways, if someone don't like it, oh well. We don't cry out in flamboyant drama for attention parading our confusion through downtown.
Just a thought.
Honestly, most of us don't care if you're gay, we don't care to know either.
Sure, your people are outcasts, me, personally, I'm a three time violent felon. I'm an outcast too, but I don't advertise my prison number. I don't brag about any of my wrong, or plain crazy decisions.
I just be me, and respect life. Free of suckers and their dysfunction.
How to Become an Atheist
If you are thinking of becoming an atheist, beware. The first step is easy, but it’s not so easy to walk the walk. You will have to ignore design when you can see it everywhere: in the universe, the atoms, the birds and the bees, the clouds and trees, the seasons, the human body, fish, flowers, fruits, feet, and even fungus. And of course, there is the amazing-looking human eye.
Everywhere you look and everywhere you can't look with the human eye you will see incredible design.
Now here's the really difficult part. You will need to believe that everything man-made: cars, computers, and candies were made by man, etc., but deny that everything in nature--cattle, camels, and cabbages, etc., were made at all. It came from nothing, with no Maker. Once you have done this, crown yourself as being intelligent.
Then you will need to find other atheists who believe as you do, and they will confirm to you that you are indeed intelligent.
You will also need to believe that evolution is true and that you’re an ape and therefore you are not morally responsible because apes have no moral absolutes.
Never forget to always give God a small "g," and learn believers' phrases such as "Evolution is a proven fact," and “I have no beliefs in any gods.”
Do these things, and you will be able to call yourself a "new" atheist. How cool is that! Well, not really. You can¹t be a true atheist because you need absolute knowledge to say that there is no God. Besides, you intuitively know that He exists.
Still, for sin-loving sinners the benefits of atheism are great in this life. But not the next. So you are really not an atheist, and to keep with your sinful lifestyle I guess you will just have to pretend to be one. Or you could simply check out -- www.EvolutionVsGod.com
“If I had undeniable evidence for God, I wouldn't be an atheist, now would I?” Francesco Cimmarrusti
This gentleman has highlighted the issue with atheism. They have undeniable evidence, and yet they still profess the foolishness of atheism. There’s a reason for that. First, here’s the undeniable evidence:
1. Creation: The incredible order of Nature, from the atom to the universe. It is scientifically impossible for Nature to have made itself, and it is also scientifically impossible for it to be eternal. There had to be an uncreated First Cause.
2. Conscience: The existence of the God-given, society-shaped conscience. The conscience (“with” “knowledge”) intuitively tells us that we are moral beings, separate from the animals, and therefore responsible to God.
3. Commandments: Our conscience (the “work of the Law” written on our hearts) independent of our will tells us that we have violated the Ten Commandments—showing us that we are sinners, heading for Hell.
4. Conversion: In a moment of time any “atheist” can come to know the God he only knows about, by obeying the gospel. But they refuse to because they love their sin.
Condensed from, “How to Know God Exists.”
An atheist asked, "What would a world with no God look like Ray?"
If there was no God above,
There would be no kindness, peace, and love,
There would be no fresh air for us to inhale,
No right, no wrong, no success or fail,
There'd be no rainbow spanning the skies,
There'd be no such thing as truth or lies,
There would be no brilliant sun to give us light,
No eyes designed to give us sight,
There'd be no such things as space or time,
No art, no music, no poems to rhyme,
No rain, no snow, no ocean, no birds,
No cats, no dogs, or buffalo herds
There would be no such thing as radiant color,
You would have no father and no mother,
You would have no joy, nor songs to sing,
If there was no God...there'd be nothing.
Tristan Whitefield quoted a Einstein: "I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own -- a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty." Then Tristan said, "This makes more sense to me than your fiction book."
Albert Einstein was not an atheist. He hated it when atheists said that he was one of theirs. He flatly said, "I am not an atheist." However, he didn't like the fact that the God of the Bible said, "You shall not commit adultery" (see if you can figure why). So Einstein made up his own version of God—one with which he felt more comfortable. This is very common for sinful humanity. It's call "idolatry," and is a transgression of the First of the Ten Commandments: “You shall have no other gods before Me.”
Someone Said: "I was a Christian for 25 years."
Ray Answers: During your time as a Christian, did you know the Lord? If you say that you did know Him, you are admitting that God is real. If you say that you thought you did, then you didn’t, and you were never a Christian. You faked it all that time. But you are not alone. Many, if not most atheists have had false conversions and that’s why they are so adamantly anti-Christian. They heard a false gospel that said that Jesus gives joy and peace and fixes problems, and when what they think is Christianity didn’t deliver the promised goods, they became disillusioned and often bitter.

The battle against gay marriage will ultimately be lost (like the battle against abortion) unless the church and the culture return to the absolute authority beginning in Genesis. Then and only then will there be a true foundation for the correct doctrine of marriage—one man for one woman for life.
We make no apologies that we start from the position that the Bible is the history book of the universe. Yes, we have assumptions and presuppositions, such as the Bible is God’s Word and, because it was written by a perfect God, it is perfectly true and reliable. But secularists also have assumptions and presuppositions! They assume that life arose naturalistically, that supernatural explanations are not possible, that the universe is billions of years old, and that God does not exist. This is a religion! A religion of purposeless, meaningless, naturalistic atheism.
“Are you talking of the Christian God? The one that is meant to be 'all loving'?” Seth Istoga
It is common among unscrupulous debaters to create a “straw-man,” easily rip it apart, and run off declaring yourself the winner.
However, this isn’t about winning or losing a debate. It’s about where someone will spend eternity, so these issues should be addressed.
As Christians, we often have to put up with our beliefs being misrepresented through straw-man arguments, and this gentlemen has a misrepresentation in each sentence.
We are not talking about “the Christian God.” We are talking about the one and only Creator. There is only one God, and the First of the Ten Commandments begins with “You shall have no other gods before me.” Since then, man has made up millions of other gods (Hinduism has 450,000,000).
The second straw-man is to say that God is “all loving.” Nowhere in the Bible does it say such a thing. God is love and mercy, but He’s also justice and truth. To say that He is all loving is to create another god. It’s like a vicious murderer believing that the judge before whom he stands condemned, will let him go because he is “all loving.” Such a thought is ridiculous.
If a judge is a good judge, he will see to it that a murderer gets exactly what he deserves. The best of us deserve Hell in the eyes of our holy Creator, but the Scriptures tell us that God is rich in mercy and offers us Heaven.
"I didn't choose to be gay the same way you didn't choose to be straight." Jacob Cain
This argument is often used by homosexuals to try and justify their lifestyle. It says that they had no choice in the matter.
However, the "straight and gay" comparison is not a legitimate comparison. The correct (and biblical) comparison is "I didn't choose to be gay the same was you didn't choose to be an adulterer."
The Scriptures warn that adulterers, homosexuals, and fornicators will not inherit the kingdom of God. Adultery, homosexuality, and fornication are sins in God's eyes (see 1 Corinthians 6:9-10).
Being "straight" is not.
This week was a major victory for Christ in the ongoing culture war in The United States. As dangerous and influential people pass, so will the evils of secularism and hatred of Christianity that they espoused. Star Trek as a cultural force is losing its devious grip on the youth. We are overjoyed that there are currently no television shows are being produced for a franchise that openly embraces communism and anti Christian sentiment. As Christians we find the ideas promoted in Star Trek gravely offensive and damaging to young minds who may be corrupted by something that assaults our traditional values. With a sigh of relief we say "good riddance" to Leonard Nimoy and his dangerous ideas as they both rot in hell for eternity. God's Peace! ?#?LLAP? = ?#?LiberalLiesAndPerversion?
For years atheists have said that I'm scientifically ignorant because I referred to gravity as a “law.”
They also say that I continually misrepresent atheism because I say that atheists believe the scientific impossibility that nothing created everything.
Well, I'm in good company:
"Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing.” Stephen Hawking

One of the most quoted verses from the Bible is Matthew 7:1 "Judge not!" Whenever someone speaks out against something that God calls sin, "Don't judge!" can be heard coming from a thousand lips. People don't like to have other people disapprove of the way they're choosing to live their life.
I will speak to you a hard truth. I do not write this because I think that it will bring me popularity. It won't. But it is Truth from the Word of God: the Bible.
To not tell people this is to hide the truth from them. To keep silent is to not care for their eternal destiny! I care about you, and this is why I am speaking out!
In this world, people have seared their consciences. The standard of what is "ok" or "permissible" in our society today, hardly reflects God's standard.
People are content to live on in lying, cursing, pride, anger, bitterness, disrespecting of parents, lust, pornography, fornication, adultery, and other sexual sins-- and if anyone tries to confront them, their attitude and response is, "You live your life, I'll live mine. Don't you tell me what to do! Only God can judge me!"
They don't even realize what they're saying. God's judgement isn't something to be taken lightly! It should scare you! Man's "judgement" is a 1000x lighter... usually just a voicing of disapproval. But when unbelieving, sinful men die and stand before God, He justly condemns them to hell.
But people disregard the Bible, and instead use all kinds of human logic to try to justify their way of living:
Person #1: "I've been living this lifestyle for years, and I'm a 'Christian.' I don't feel that God is angry with me. I believe in a loving God, not one who would send people to hell."
The person speaking this is right-- their god is not angry with them. He can't be, because he doesn't exist. They are not talking about the God of the Bible. They have created a god in their own mind to suit themselves. They have removed any notion of the Justice of God, and have created a god of their imagination that they can be comfortable with.
The Bible teaches that God is a Just Judge, and He must punish sin. Every one of us have broken God's law, and hell is our deserved punishment. (Unless you're reading some very distorted "translation" of the Bible, you cannot get around the fact that there is a hell).
Person #2: "I have a 'peace' about this, and I'm listening to my heart. God doesn't seem to be judging me. If God didn't approve, why wouldn't He strike me dead right now?"
First off, our human hearts are bent toward sin and not righteousness. We shouldn't follow the inclinations of our heart, but rather we know what is right and wrong according to what we find in God's Word: the Bible.
Secondly, God isn't slacking to fulfill His promised Judgement on sin--it's coming. And the only reason you're are alive right now is because He is merciful and has kept your heart beating for another day. He is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish but that all should reach repentance. But He will not hold back forever. The hours of your time here on earth are ticking away. You're not promised another day, or even another breath. God's Day of Judgement draws near. It will come as a thief in the night--when you least expect it. Everything that you have done in secret will be exposed. Nothing we do is hidden from God's view. (1 Peter 3:9&10)
This should be concerning to you. I know it was for me! When I saw myself in light of God's standard, and I knew that I fell short. But I found hope in the Gospel-- the "good news" of Jesus Christ! I would still be lost today were it not for His grace!
Read what God has done so that you and I might be forgiven of our sins and saved from the punishment we deserve:
16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.
17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through Him.
18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
19 And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil.
20 For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed.
21 But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God."
John 3:16-21
Repent! Turn away from sin, and to Jesus Christ today! Be saved from the wrath to come.
The believing man has Christ's perfect record put to their account.
God gives him a new heart and new desires.
If you find yourself a sinner in need of Jesus, then open your Bible today and begin to read the books of John and Romans. Let the Word of God root out the sins of your heart. Do not let up until you have found Salvation for your soul!
12,000 Reasons to Believe the Bible is the Word of God
I woke up with a head cold today. As usual, I said to myself, "This one doesn't seem too bad."
After going through a box of tissues I resigned myself to it being bad. Next will come the blocked dose (sp. deliberate), having to sleep with an open mouth to be able to breathe, then comes the cough, which comes in a variety of categories.
There's the drive-you-crazy tickle. The painful "hack." Then there's the one that waits until you are about to drift off to sleep that causes you to cough until your lungs are turned inside out, and then some.
And this is just the everyday good old common cold we all get regularly, for no real reason.
According to the WHO (not the rock group)--the World Health Organization, there are approximately 12,000 disease categories [1].
That's 12,000 reasons to believe the Bible when it says that we live in a fallen creation, under the Genesis curse.
Notes:
[1] "Etiology," By Christina L. Ross, PhD, BCPP, L. Christina (p. 204).
Charlotte Dawson, a popular Australian celebrity committed suicide last year. She'd been battling depression for 14 years, after having an abortion. She hung herself.
"In the book, 'Air Kiss and Tell,' she revealed she had had an abortion with her former husband, Olympic swimmer Scott Miller, so that he would not have any distractions in the lead up to the Sydney Olympics....Ms. Dawson wrote that she was alone when she had the termination. In the book she wrote that this was her first experience with depression — a battle she continued to fight for the next 14 years[1]."
The human conscience is incredibly powerful. It drives people to drink, to "religion"(which doesn't help), and to the tragedy of suicide. I believe one of the reasons so many women are so militant about abortion, is that they are still trying to justify the killing of their unborn. If they can somehow show that abortion is the right of women and not murder, then there's no reason to feel the pangs of guilt.
That's why we need to proclaim the Gospel to this world. These people need repentance and faith in Jesus, because they have taken the life of another human being. The moment they are born-again, God will wash them clean of all sin and of the guilt that plagued them. Every Christian knows that through experience.
"I personally was indoctrinated, baptized and raised by passive Christians. In my preteen years I took up religious studies as a hobby, mainly looking for answers. Atheism was the result, not a choice." Tyler Flood
Let me rephrase this a little so that it makes sense:
"I personally did everything 'Christian,' except I didn't come to know the Lord. When I hit my teenage years the hormones kicked in, and suddenly the female form sure looked better to me than Noah and his silly Ark.
"So I became an atheist. I pretended that nothing created everything, and joyfully followed my overwhelmingly sinful desires. The result has been the temporal but wonderful pleasures that come with sin. I choose them above God's promise of everlasting life."
Here’s one word atheists will have to drop from their vocabulary:
"goodbye"
Origin: from godbwye (16th Century)--God be with ye
