Atheist asked: “Why does God allow women who will abort their baby to become pregnant? Because there is no God.”
Response,
Our Creator is very active in the daily life of His creation…He allows the sperm and ovum to unite…as the man and woman have “chosen” to engage in what our Creator has foreordained for procreation to manifest. If they’re engaging in the act of procreation apart from our Creator’s blessing, His covenant of marriage, they sow and reap in their disobedience…murdering i.e. aborting the consequences of fornication or adultery simply enhances their culpability before our Creator. The foolishness and demonic root of atheism is not a defense to prosecution in Eternity before relegation to Hell.
Atheist asked: ”Rick, why do you believe in a God or a Creator? Isn’t your belief simply a manifestation of parental training, conditioning and Church attendance as a youth?”
Response,
Not at all; actually, my faith in Jesus Christ is founded in scientific methodology. I see, observe daily, what is before me in nature, the World around me…I have tested it via thorough daily interaction and years of interactive experience and the results of those experiences are repeatable, verifiable, tangible to the senses, logic, reason; therefore, I conclude that someone with supernatural abilities has designed the World around me and the incredibly complex genome within me and therefore I must conclude that there is an omnipotent Designer (Romans 1:20).
My pursuit of knowledge as a young man continued and ultimately included a graduate degree (later in life) but questions remained; therefore, following scientific methodology I was led to Darwin who provided a theory concerning life and the origin of the species but I found that theory lacking as it simply did not actually explain origin; Darwin proceeded to confuse the Biblical KIND (Genesis 1) with species which was very troubling to me while the evolutionary concept of “speciation” created a stumbling block between changes within a KIND of animal (visible in nature) v. changes from one-KIND to another KIND (not visible in nature) while mandating unfathomable periods of Time for these unexplained genomic evolutionary changes to manifest; most disturbing, I found Darwin’s theory to be completely irrelevant and inadequate concerning “origin” as Darwin begins with life having previously experienced its genesis. Enter, abiogenesis and descent with modification; both warring against logic and reason and commonsense while failing to actually address “origin.”
I pursued other “scientific” explanations concerning our genesis (the “Big Bang”) but they too were lacking. At age 35, I visited a bookstore in Elgin, Illinois while vacationing there. I picked up a paraphrased version of the Bible called “The Living Bible” and returned to the apartment and sat on a couch and began to read. Approximately half-way through the Living Bible I looked up and asked “Where has this been all my life?” I’m now 65-years of age, 30-years have passed since that first thorough read of the Scriptures, and that initial read of a paraphrased Bible led to an incredibly in-depth study of the Scriptures, including targeted study in the Hebrew and Greek; ultimately, I discovered the who, what, where, when, why, how, concerning origin of matter, Time, the human genome, purpose of life and my eschatological purpose in this World.
Finally, my questions about origin were answered by the Holy Spirit who faithfully came along side me and tutored me through every word, every precept, every line of Scripture (1 John 2:27). I now understand causation for our Creation and why Elohim has done what He has done and His eschatological purposes going forward.
In conclusion,
I can now testify that no greater life, no greater peace, no greater assurance, no greater relevant knowledge exists than knowing one is in covenant relationship with our Heavenly Father by faith in the Son, Jesus Christ, while walking daily in the love and peace and intimacy of the indwelling Holy Spirit. There is no greater life available to human kind. I know that I know; this, with confidence and assurance.
Atheism: unmitigated hypocrisy, spiritual deception-illness on public display…a vulgar shame to any people seeking decency and sustainability…
The facade of the atheist is the epitome of hypocrisy and self-deception. A spiritually and mentally ill people who proclaim the attributes of “science” as their god citing logic and reason as their corrupt motive for denying our Creator yet display cowardliness and ignorance in their inability to define origin of matter, origin of the human genome, apart from design and a mandated Designer. Atheists, a narcissistic and perverse people who mock the Holy Scriptures yet are spiritually ignorant of their Truth and the eschatological value in promoting a life of sustainable morality, ethics, values.
Atheism is the root of the demonic and has as its clueless constituency those who advocate for the mutilation of babies in the womb; the moral filth and debasement of homosexuality-lesbianism-transsexualism-child sexual mutilation in gender confusion/reassignment. Atheism is a demonically destructive religion in any society but is an especially destructive metastasizing malignancy in America’s Constitutional Republic. A hoard of demons who destroy a Nation’s soul in vulgar moral and ethical rot. Vile and disgusting at its core…atheism, secular humanism is deserving of the Lake of Fire.
Concerning the genesis of, the purpose for, Natural Law…
Natural Law, moral law, exists as it was implemented by our Creator in conjunction with the creation of the angels as Natural Law acts as an arbiter of free will. Freedom of choice, volition, divine communicable attributes provided humanity by Elohim on the 6th-Day of Creation, is essential for love, relationship, intimacy, with our Creator to manifest with purity and authenticity.
Natural Law is also essential as a bulwark against unrestrained narcissism that would ultimately culminate in societal implosion which would thwart our Creator’s eschatological plan concerning the restoration of holiness, righteousness, to His Kingdom; chaos introduced into Elohim’s Kingdom via a rebellious, covetous, cherub angel; that chaos being causation for the creation of Time, matter, our Universe, as a temporary repository for Satan’s coup d’état; that coup having been relegated and partially constrained by Time and physics as Elohim deals with sin and rebellion via Messiah Jesus (1 John 3:8b).
Finally, Natural Law will be used by our Creator, Jesus Christ, at the “Judgment of the Condemned” (Revelation 20:10-15) to adjudicate Satan and the fallen angels (Revelation 20:10) along with the sin, rebellion, of humanity who has rejected the sovereign grace, the imputed righteousness of Jesus by faith in Him as our Messiah for the forgiveness of sin (John 3; 2 Corinthians 5:21).
You go about studying the Scriptures, initially, by finding you an easily readable version in your language….NOT the King James Version as your first read…then sit quietly possessing a heart that is willing to consider the truth before you and ask the Holy Spirit to enter your life and reveal to you the deeper truths you are preparing to internalize…open the Bible to the “Gospel of John” and carefully read every word before you…mediate upon what you’re reading….this is your introduction to a life that is beyond human comprehension. Every question you’ve ever had about who, what, where, when, why, how, concerning this life and your place therein is answered between the Genesis and the Revelation. Enjoy the greatest journey known to mankind; that is, entering into a covenant relationship with your Creator, Jesus Christ.
Holy men of old wrote as meticulously inspired by the Holy Spirit as Elohim has chosen to use His created beings as tools in His eschatological plan to destroy the works of the Devil via Messiah (1 John 3:8b). Every word of Scripture comes to you via the Holy Spirit and is given to you so that you can know our Creator personally and His eschatological plan for Time, Eternity, your life.
Forty-authors over 1400-years spanning three-continents, three-languages via the Holy Spirit’s sovereign protection provided you Elohim’s “love letter” to His human creation. You have a purpose in this temporary life within the Realm of Time and atheism defiles that purpose. Read carefully the “Gospel of John” and make an informed decision concerning your eternal destiny. Atheists, please do not die in spiritual ignorance in servitude to the Devil?
Concerning the genesis of Christianity and the written word of God…
The Council of Nicaea has nothing to do with Christianity. Christianity is representative of the Gospel (Good News) of Jesus Christ and that Gospel was ordained “before Time began” (2 Timothy 1:8-10); Christianity has nothing to do with Constantine or Catholicism or Denominations or Sects or Religion or Cults or the will of mankind.
The Biblical Text, from the Genesis to the Revelation, has nothing to do with the will of humanity and everything to do with the will of our omnipotent Creator who has provided His human creation with the EXACT words He desires we have in order that we can know Him personally; love Him intimately; live with Him eternally and know His eschatological will and purpose for Time and Eternity.
Christianity is a covenant relationship with God the Father by grace (unmerited favor) through faith-trust-belief in Jesus Christ as our Messiah. The only “Council” of relevance concerning Christianity is the “Jerusalem Council” formed by Jesus’ Apostles to announce the parameters of what was mandated for Gentile believers having trusted in Jesus as their Lord, Messiah, God (Acts 15).
Christianity provides humanity the only Way, the only Path, the only Truth, the only LIFE, available in this life constrained by Time and the life to come in Eternity (John 14:6). Jesus Christ as God, Creator, Messiah, Judge, and the indwelling Holy Spirit as “Guarantor” of Covenant Relationship with the Father is the only HOPE for sinful humanity concerning forgiveness of sin, eternal life (John 3; John 14:6; Ephesians 1:13-14; Acts 4:12; Hebrews 8:12).
The Spiritual and Psychological Illness of the Party of Atheism i.e. the Democrat-Progressive-Marxist Party of America…how, why, solutions?
The political divide in the United States is no longer one of policy differences but one of a spiritual chasm between good v. evil, Jesus v. Satan, life v. death, hope v. Hell. America is no longer a “two-party” system as one Party, the Democrat Party, has become completely demon possessed-influenced, ungovernable, unsustainable; this, complicated by destructive psychological illness mandating psychiatric and spiritual intervention.
Consider this…no sane human being, no person of sound mind, would advocate for the mutilation of babies in their mommy’s womb at any point of gestation as life begins at conception…commonsense and science testify to this truism.
No human being of sound mind would advocate and fight for the perversion of Obergefell v. Hodges (2015) and LGBTQ sexual perversion forced upon our children in public schools and advocate for gender confusion and the mutilation of children’s sex-organs in “gender reassignment.”
No person of sound mind would destroy their Nation in pursuit of the demonic agenda of “man-induced climate change”…a worldwide hoax initiated by cult-deceived globalists, naturalists, whose Marxist-Authoritarian intent is depopulation and complete tyrannical control over energy affecting almost every aspect of social life. Mankind does NOT control the weather as weather is cyclical and it “naturally” warms and cools in cycles.
No National leadership of sound mind would sell the economic and manufacturing soul of their Nation to the Communist Chinese.
No National leadership of sound mind would open their borders to drug cartels, sex-trafficking, terrorists, by the millions.
No leadership of sound mind would open the prisons, enact cashless bail, defund the police, prohibit personal protection.
No leadership of sound mind would declare war on God and those who honor God through Jesus Christ. No Political Party of sound spiritual mind boos God in open chambers and mocks, demonizes, labels, those who honor God in Jesus Christ.
Solutions?
The Democrat Party in the United States must be dismantled and reconstructed with the goal of implementing sustainable mores, norms, values, that edify and prosper the American people and our posterity or, as a last resort, the declaration of another civil war likened to that of 1860 where Democrats were forced to cease their destructive racism and violations of human rights through bloodshed on the battlefield.
Most importantly, America’s legislators must repeal the “Mental Health Act of 1963” which shuttered State-financed insane asylums through failed attempts at community-based psychiatric treatment facilities. If America’s insane asylums were reopened and properly managed, at least one-half of the constituency supporting the vile and perverse Democrat Party today would be permanently confined, labeled as mentally insane while at least one-third of the remaining constituency would require regular psychological intercession.
Concerning “free will” and the spiritual ignorance of atheism…
The spiritually dead Atheist declares that God is arbitrary and capricious; therefore, mankind’s destiny is fixed and unalterable; this, in a vain and futile attempt to justify their “chosen” path to death in Hell. What is the Truth?
Free will is the causation for our Creation in Time. Free will is essential in order that love and intimacy with our Creator manifest with purity and purpose. There is no pleasure or relationship or satisfaction in communion with robots but one must possess the ability to “choose” to love or to hate in order for relationship with intimacy to manifest with authenticity and purity and reciprocal satisfaction.
You are created in the spiritual image of your Creator (Genesis 1:26-28) and you have received certain divine communicable attributes gifted you by your Creator for His eschatological purposes; one of these divine attributes is free will with wisdom and discernment; otherwise, life and relationship would be an exercise in futility.
You are therefore free to choose Jesus Christ as your Lord believing that Jesus died for you and find eternal life in His Name through the forgiveness of sin (John 3) or you can reject Jesus and serve Satan by default and die in Hell…the “choice”…the “volition” is yours.
The Democrat Party is synonymous with ungovernable, unsustainable, moral ROT…
The Democrat Party and the demonically persuaded citizenry that support same, atheists-secular humanists-progressives-Darwinists-Marxists, represent unsustainable mores, norms, values, that have come to fruition in moral metastasizing ROT. America’s most virulent enemy is Satan and his representatives in the Democrat Party and its constituency.
If the Democrat Party is not dismantled, either by civil war or by legislative agreement, America’s posterity will suffer horrifically and America will become completely impotent in World affairs as a 3rd-World mockery and embarrassment.
