Theological creationism question posited on FB: “So where did god get the raw materials to create the whole universe, since in the beginning there was nothing????”

Christian response,

Ex nihilo (out of nothing) concerning the origin of our Universe is incorrect. The Holy Spirit has told you that God the Father commissioned the Son, Jesus Christ (John 3:35), to take elements from the unseen Spiritual Realm and fashion those elements into matter that can be apprehended by life constrained by Time and physics (Hebrews 11:3; John 1; Genesis 1; Colossians 1). Jesus Christ, in unison with the Father (Elohim) the Spirit (Genesis 1:2), created the Heavens, the Earth and all that is within them in six-literal 24-hour days and He did so for cause with rapidity. This is why mankind will NEVER define origin of matter because all that we see and apprehend with our senses finds its origin in the unseen Spiritual Realm, a Realm that is more “real,” tangible, interactive, infinitely more complex than the temporary realm of Time (Ecclesiastes 3:11).

Jesus testifies that His Kingdom is NOT of this realm,

33 Therefore Pilate entered again into the Praetorium, and summoned Jesus and said to Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” 34 Jesus answered, “Are you saying this on your own initiative, or did others tell you about Me?” 35 Pilate answered, “I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered You to me; what have You done?” 36 Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not of this realm.” 37 Therefore Pilate said to Him, “So You are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say correctly that I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.” 38 Pilate *said to Him, “What is truth?” John 18:33-38 (NASB)

Angry homosexual atheist mocks God’s words concerning the sin of homosexuality:“The Bible lays down the law as clear as a toilet bowl after a hard night out. In other words, do what you want then find some ambiguous passage in a book full of incredulous myths and twist it around to fit in with what you want to say.”

Christian response,

Homosexuality is sin and a most egregious sin against God’s Covenant of Marriage and against one’s own body (1 Corinthians 6:18). God created them male and female in The Beginning (Genesis 2:24-25; Mark 10:6-9) and this Covenant of Marriage as male and female becoming one-flesh in the sexual union was established for the protection and continuation of human kind through the Biblical family unit.

God did not authorize any form of variance in the sexual relationship and He has clearly defined any variance as an aberration, immorality, detestably worthy of death (Leviticus 18:22-23, 30, 20:13) – but – through the Son, Jesus Christ, and the Covenant of Grace established in Jesus’ blood (Matthew 26:28), God the Father has offered the homosexual forgiveness, healing and redemption and life in eternity IF said homosexual will repent (stop the offending conduct) and humble them self before Jesus Christ and believe in their heart and confess with their mouth Jesus as God and Mediator for their sin and receive the indwelling Holy Spirit as the Seal and Guarantor of that relationship for sanctification as the Father prepares them for service in the coming Kingdom (John 3:16-18; Ephesians 1:13-14; Romans 10:9-10). The Scriptures are irrefutably clear concerning the sin of homosexuality and the one who dies in the sin of homosexuality having rejected repentance and Jesus as Lord, they will be without excuse at the Judgment of the Condemned (Revelation 20:11-15).

God the Father is NOT going to permit mankind’s unrepentant sin to enter the Kingdom of God subsequent to the death of the body in Time (Revelation 21:27); therefore, mankind will deal with sin within the Age of Grace through faith in Jesus Christ as Lord – OR – mankind will deal with sin in Eternity at the Judgment of the Condemned and lose both body and soul in Hell (Matthew 10:28).

Atheist serves Satan and wars against God – a warning to the atheist: “Hi there all of you theists with your overactive imaginations. You imagine that Jesus resurrected after being executed, you imagine that Jonah got a free three nights hotel stay in a whale’s mouth, you imagine that the universe is 6,000 years old, you imagine that the violence sanctioned by god in the Old Testament is ok, you imagine that a talking snake was a con man, you imagine that the Bible came directly from god. The Bible is full of contradictions and alterations.”

Christian response,

No, the Bible is NOT “full of contradictions and alterations”…the Canon of Scripture articulates the EXACT words the Holy Spirit desires human kind receive and internalize. The same God who took elements from the unseen Spiritual Realm and fashioned same into matter that can be apprehended by life constrained by Time and physics (Hebrews 11:3), this same God who created the Heavens and the Earth and our genome for cause with rapidity in six-literal 24-hr days (Genesis 1; John 1; Colossians 1) is more than capable of providing His human creation with the words He desires we have so that we can know Him personally, love Him intimately, live with Him eternally.

You are fighting against that which you DO NOT KNOW and you are headed to a most horrific eternity at your last exhalation in this brief life within Time. You are free to reject the Gift of Jesus Christ as your Lord for the mediation of your sin (John 3:16) but when you actively war against our God, you have made yourself His enemy and an ally with Satan and you will reap what you sow in a most horrific fashion; therefore, BE WARNED!

Bad theological advice corrected: “The best theological advice I ever got was acknowledging we are ALL hypocrites.”

Christian response,

The “best” theological advice you can receive is the knowledge that you’re a sinner (Romans 3:23) headed to death in Hell (Revelation 20:11-15) because God the Father is NOT going to permit your destructive, unrepentant sin to enter His Kingdom subsequent to the death of your body in Time (Revelation 21:27) – but – God the Father did not leave you in that hopeless condition but interceded on YOUR behalf by sending the Son, Jesus Christ (John 3:16-18), Who is God (Philippians 2:8; John 1; Colossians 2:9) to pay your sin-debt for you…a debt you could NOT pay (John 14:6) and by repenting of your sin (Luke 13:3) and believing in/confessing Jesus as your God and Mediator for your sin (Romans 10:9-10; 1 Timothy 2:5), you can receive forgiveness of sin and find life in Eternity with God, forever (John 11:25). This is the Good News of what God has done for you and it is the very best advice any man, woman or child can receive within the Realm of Time.

False doctrine of “works salvation” espoused on FB, once again: “We cannot find in the Bible that man can be saved to eternal life without obedience to the Law of Yahweh.”

Christian response,

If obedience to the Law was the standard by which man achieved righteousness with the Father through atonement for sin, all of mankind would be destined to die in Hell because all of mankind is under the condemnation of sin (Romans 5:12-18) for we are all sinners (Romans 3:23) and to violate one-jot or one-tittle of the Law is to violate the whole Law (James 2:10); therefore, the Law cannot save you as it only condemns you via the knowledge of sin (Romans 3:20) void atonement and as sinners, we require an Intercessor who is perfect, sinless, righteous, before God the Father to pay our sin-debt for us (Romans 8:3-4). His Name is Jesus Christ and ONLY by grace (unmerited favor unattainable by human effort) through faith-believing in Jesus as your God and Mediator for your sin will you find atonement for sin and life in Eternity (John 3:16-18; John 14:6).

Your works of obedience are relevant SUBSEQUENT to your confession of Jesus as Lord and receiving the indwelling Holy Spirit as your Seal and Guarantor of relationship with God the Father (Ephesians 1:13-14; Ephesians 2:8-9). Until you have entered into a relationship with the Father by belief-faith in the shed blood of the Son, Jesus Christ, your works of attempted obedience are as a smelly, filthy, bloody, menstrual cloth in the nose of our Holy God (Isaiah 64:6). It is your works of obedience subsequent to your salvation that affirm and validate your confession of Jesus as Lord as true, authentic and it is your desire for obedience to God’s will that substantiates your positioning as “born again” by the Spirit of God (John 3) dwelling within you (Ephesians 1:13-14; John 14:16) as He, the Holy Spirit, walks you in the process of sanctification until your departure from this life within the Realm of Time.

You cannot be saved, your sin will NOT be forgiven, by seeking obedience to a Law or edict or Day or Tradition or Mass but ONLY by grace through faith in the completed work of Jesus Christ at Golgotha (Acts

4:12; Ephesians 2:8-9; John 14:6). “I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the Law, then Christ died needlessly.” Galatians 2:21 (NASB)

Theological question on FB:“Can we keep the 10 commandments and believe in Jesus as Lord and savior [at] the same time..?”

Christian response,

You can certainly seek obedience to the Commandments but you’ll never keep them in perfection due to the encumbrance of the sin-nature integral with your decaying flesh (Romans 3:23; Romans 7); but yes, there is nothing wrong with seeking to obey the Commandments as a Christian as long as you’re aware that you cannot find righteousness or atonement or salvation through attempting to keep the Law as the Law only defines sin void any form of atonement (Galatians 2:16); the Law only condemns and cannot save (Romans 3:20).

It is ONLY by repenting of sin (Luke 13:3) and trusting-believing in Jesus Christ as your God and Mediator for your sin (Romans 10:9-10) that one finds righteousness (a right standing) with God the Father (John 14:6) and atonement for our sin through the shed-blood of Messiah Jesus (Matthew 26:28) thereby permitting us access to the Kingdom subsequent to the death of our body in Time (John 3:16-18). Messiah’s blood atonement and faith in same for the forgiveness of our sin is essential as nothing impure is permitted to enter the Kingdom of God (Revelation 21:27).

Abortion advocate mocks Christianity, a response:

Dear Atheist-Abortionist-LGBTQ advocate,

Christianity does not forbid prevention of fertilization (contraception) or sex-education when its curriculum is properly oriented for the age group receiving it. Christians demand that you Democrat Communists stop murdering babies in the womb and stop celebrating your sexual perversion in our streets, stop burning our municipalities, stop seeking to de-fund our police, thereby bringing God’s wrath upon our Nation as a whole resulting in mass confusion and the suffering of our posterity. Please, take your Democrat-Communist-abortion-sexual perversity and manic liberalism into the closet where it belongs or leave our Nation and harass someone else as America can only survive with Jesus as our King; so then, go to a Nation or Country that advocates your insanity…we’re sick and tired of your unsustainable worldview and practices that are destroying our posterity and our future.

Atheist mocks the Living God/a response: “So, what happened then? Did the Jesus God come along and knock off the original Dreamtime God and take over, did he? Well, may you blindly trumpet your God as being the one and only true God but the facts clearly contradict your ill-fated stance. If I were you I would be chucking the Bible in the fire, smear some ochre on my face and start dancing around the fire waving a boomerang.“

Christian response,

There was nothing to knock off as there has never been a God other than the true God, the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth, life i.e. Elohim/I AM and it was not until His purpose for Time through His Messiah came to fruition that He identified Himself and separated Himself from the gods of mankind’s imagination. God the Father, from before the creation of Time (2 Timothy 1:9-10), has been focused upon His angles, His relationship with them in the Kingdom. You and I are necessary refuse of a struggle between the forces of good v. evil, a war that was initiated before the beginning of Time, that captures God’s attention and His motives concerning all of Eternity.

When God knew the time was right, He introduced Himself to one (Moses, Exodus 3:14) who would lead His people out of 400-years of bondage and into a Land promised to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob through whom He would bless every family of the Earth through atonement for sin and life in Eternity to all who believe (Genesis 12:3; John 3:16). It would be through Messiah Yeshua that God the Father would destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8b) through sacrificial love not arbitrary power (Genesis 3:21; 2 Corinthians 5:21) and demonstrate to His faithful angelic creation the horrors of sin and rebellion and the beauty and peace found in righteousness and obedience (John 14:27; Romans 5:1) so that a repeat of the rebellion that initiated our creation would be thwarted by experiential relevance.

Considering the extant empirical evidence for the reality of our Creator confronting our senses 24/7/365 and then to interact with human beings that are willfully and obstinately blind to said evidence yet trust fully in crazy inferences and laughable suppositions espoused by men and women foolishly touting the impossible theory of evolution, abiogenesis, descent with modification; I ask you, is this not the most absurd and unreasonable and illogical worldview imaginable to the coherent and discerning mind? The Scriptures clearly define the atheist as a “fool,” a liar and “without excuse” (Romans 1:18-32) but how is it that so many men and women choose to live in wilful rejection of what they intuitively know to be truth?

Is the atheist’s rejection of God’s authority, dominion and sovereignty over our Creation in response to an obsession with aberrant lust and an addiction to their genitalia and same-sex perversity? I find it true that an overwhelming number of LGBTQ participants are atheists. Is it an attempt at appeasing a guilty conscience for having participated in a criminal conspiracy to murder a baby in the womb via abortion? Is aberrant lust freed by an ideology of moral relativism at the root of the facade of atheism? Finally, why does the lie of atheism thoroughly permeate the demonic ideologies of Infanticide, Darwinism, Communism, Socialism, Humanism, Secularism, Nihilism, LGBTQ, the Democrat Party of the United States? Does the lie of atheism permeate these demonic ideologies because they’re rooted in the same evil god, Satan (John 8:44)?

[BTW atheist, the atoning blood of Jesus Christ also covers the sin of LGBTQ and abortion if you’ll repent and ask Him for forgiveness and believe in Him as your Lord (John 3:16-18).]

What motivates men and women to surrender to Satan’s will for their life and deny the love and mercy and grace of our loving God in Jesus Christ as Lord? What motivates a man or woman to choose death in Hell when the path to life and peace with God in Eternity is only a breath away by confessing and believing in Jesus as Lord? If the atheist truly did not “believe,” why do they spend so much time and exert so much effort in arguing about God’s nonexistence? Inquiring minds want to know…
