Reflections of faith (Faith) – 10 January 2019


He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed. (Proverbs 13:20)

There are so many that questions God from time to time. We find ourselves in a predicament and the first thing we do is we question God. I know it is hard sometimes and life can throw a few hard punches. In my last months of 2018 when all the walls came tumbling down, I kept saying this verse over and over in my head: For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Now let me take you back to a post a wrote a while back. When people start to question God, they start to listen to the enemy and soon you have an atheist in the making. Let me boost your faith a little today.

When it is evidence you seek, there is more than enough around you to clearly show you that there is a designer at work and that it all did not just happen. You see the enemy has been working for years to try and prove God is not there. So, he fabricated a number of lies and a lot of people looking for a reason just jumped on the band wagon. 

When you actually start to look at evolution and carbon dating you soon realise that their theories require a lot more faith than what we need when we believe in a creator. Evolutionist will say that science does not require faith, it requires evidence. And if you ask me that seems to be the whole issue of what is missing. There is no evidence. They will talk of the law of biogenesis that life cannot come from non-life but in the next instance they will say that all life sprung from non-living material. 

Then they talk about mutation and natural selection, how one animal can change into another, but mutation only loses information and natural selection can only chose from what is available. So, how does a simple living organism turn into something so complex as us. Think about the complexity of the human eye and how we can never design something like that. Just think about how the human body can heal itself. So, I can’t think that some half pound insect eating thingy somehow dodged whatever killed the dinosaurs and then evolved from ape to ape man over millions of unseen years and then boom you have humans. If all this nonsense was true, we would have millions of in-between creatures running around. And by the way all of the in between fossils can fit in the back of a Toyota Prius. If you think about it, you will surely not understand how this all happened. They say that science is not based on faith, but evolution requires it. Faith that everything just exploded out of nothing and that gas clouds collapsed and created stars and all this stuff just collided around the sun and created planets including earth that is just the right distance from the sun to sustain life. 

It requires faith to believe that living creatures, male and female, crawled out of the water and then magically became land dwelling animals which then became humans all without intelligence or design. So, can you see that evolution requires much more faith.

Now, with that in mind. Back to the simple part. God created it all and He gave His only Son so that whoever believes in Him will be saved.

Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus. 

Cheers
