REASONS TO
BELIEVE IN GOD
1PETER 3:15 BUT SANCTIFY THE LORD GOD IN YOUR HEARTS: AND BE
READY ALWAYS TO GIVE AN ANSWER TO EVERY MAN THAT ASKETH
YOU A REASON OF THE HOPE THAT IS IN YOU WITH MEEKNESS AND FEAR:
THE DILEMMA THAT EVERY PERSON MUST COME TO GRIPS WITH
SOONER OR LATER IS, DOES GOD EXIST, OR AM I JUST THE PRODUCT OF SOME RANDOM
COMBINATION OF TIME AND THE ELEMENTS OF THE UNIVERSE?
EITHER WE ARE THE PRODUCT OF CHANCE - OR A PRODUCT OF DESIGN. THERE ARE NO
OTHER OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO US.
WE CAN CHOOSE TO BELIEVE THAT WE ARE HERE BY CHANCE, THAT WE
WILL LIVE AND SOME DAY DIE, AND THAT IS THE END OF US!
Or…
WE MAY CHOSE TO RESEARCH OTHER OPTIONS THAT PROMISE US
BETTER OPTIONS.
IF THERE IS A CREDIBLE OPTION THAT PROMISES ME EXISTENCE AFTER PHYSICAL DEATH,
I WOULD BE FOOLISH NOT TO PURSUE IT.
BASICALLY WE CAN CHOOSE TO BELIEVE THERE IS NOTHING AFTER PHYSICAL DEATH, BUT
NON-EXISTENCE.
EITHER THERE IS DEATH AND NON-EXISTENCE OR THERE IS EXISTENCE AFTER PHYSICAL
DEATH.
WHAT A CRUEL TRICK NATURE HAS PLAYED ON US; TO GIVE LIFE AND SELF AWARENESS.
THEN LET US GO TO OUR DEATH WITH SORROW AND DOOM.
IF THERE IS NOTHING AFTER DEATH BUT OBLIVION, THEN NATURE ITSELF
IS THE MOST WICKED, MOST EVIL, AND MOST CRUEL OF FORCES.
WHAT A MORBID AND FEARFUL FUTURE WE ALL HAVE IF EVOLUTION IS OUR GOD!
PSALM 14:1, 53:1 THE FOOL HATH SAID IN HIS HEART, THERE IS NO GOD. THEY
ARE CORRUPT, THEY HAVE DONE ABOMINABLE WORKS, THERE IS
NONE THAT DOETH GOOD.
IF THIS WORLD’S VIEW IS TRUE, THEN WE ARE WITHOUT
And, if this is the
case…”MERCY KILLING” WOULD MAKE
SENSE AS A MEANS TO DEAL WITH THE SLOW DECLINE OF A QUALITY LIFE, OF
SICKNESS, DISEASE, PAIN, SADNESS, FEEBLE OLD AGE, OR DEATH.
ABORTION OR INFANTICIDE even MAKES SENSE, EVEN
AFTER BIRTH, THE LOGIC IS, LET’S JUST KILL THEM BEFORE THEY FIND OUT WHAT FATE
AWAITS THEM.
SELF SATISFACTION AND SELF GRATIFICATION BECOME THE HIGHEST GOAL AND PURPOSE IN
LIFE, EVEN AT THE EXPENSE OF OTHER RETCHED CREATURES DESTINED FOR
NON-EXISTENCE.
LET US LIVE LIFE TO IT’S FULLEST; BUT WHEN THINGS GET
UNCOMFORTABLE JUST TAKE OUR LIVES.
THE IDEA OF CORPORATE SUICIDE MAKES SENSE IF ALL WE HAVE IS A FUTURE OF PAIN,
DEPRESSION AND NON-EXISTENCE!
WHAT A HOPELESS, DEPRESSIVE FUTURE WE HAVE, IF WE ACCEPT THE IDEA THAT THIS
WORLD VIEW OFFERS!
SO ARE THERE OTHER OPTIONS TO OUR DILEMMA?
IS THERE ANY HOPE THAT WE CAN SURVIVE PHYSICAL DEATH AND MAINTAIN OUR
PERSONHOOD OR PERSONAL IDENTITY?
OF ALL THE OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO US, WHICH ONE IS THE MOST CREDITABLE?
OF ALL THE METAPHYSICAL, SPIRITUAL IDEAS PRESENT IN THIS WORLD, WHICH ONE IS
MOST PROVABLE AND LOGICAL?
THE COMMON THEORY OF A GODLESS EVOLUTION AND DEATH, LEAVES ME WITH NO
IF I CHOOSE TO REJECT THE CURRENT WORLD VIEW, WHAT IS AVAILABLE?
I CHOOSE TO REJECT THE IDEA THAT I AM SOME KIND OF SAD MISTAKE OF NATURE, WITH
A FUTURE OF GLOOM, PAIN, DEATH AND AN ETERNITY OF NON-EXISTENCE.
I CHOOSE RATHER TO EXPLORE THE OTHER ALTERNATIVES.
I CHOOSE TO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A INVISIBLE
INTELLIGENT BEING BEHIND MY EXISTENCE, AS WELL AS ALL OF THE PHYSICAL UNIVERSE.
I CHOOSE TO BELIEVE THERE IS A CREATOR OF ALL THE
PHYSICAL REALM.
IF IT IS FOLLY TO THE BELIEVERS IN ULTIMATE DOOM, SO BE IT!
1ST CORINTHIANS
WHAT HAVE I GAINED OR LOST BY THIS CHOICE?
IF I AM WRONG TO BELIEVE IN A GOD OF ALL CREATION I WILL GO TO MY GRAVE IN
ERROR.
IF THERE IS A CREATOR GOD THAT GRANTS LIFE AFTER DEATH, I WIN!
AT LEAST, IF I CHOOSE TO FOLLOW A BELIEF IN THE CREATOR GOD AND AM WRONG, THEN
I LIVE LIFE IN A STATE OF
I THINK THIS DELUSION WOULD BE BETTER THEN TO LIVE IN FEAR OF MY ULTIMATE
MORBID DEMISE!
I THINK THIS IS A BETTER CHOICE FOR ME, THEN TO LIVE A LIFE OF DOOM AND
MORBIDITY WITH A FEARFUL LOOKING FORWARD TO A PAINFUL, AND NON-EXISTENT DEATH.
HEBREWS 2:14: FORASMUCH THEN AS THE CHILDREN ARE PARTAKERS OF
FLESH AND BLOOD, HE (JESUS) ALSO HIMSELF LIKEWISE TOOK PART OF THE SAME; THAT
THROUGH DEATH HE MIGHT DESTROY HIM THAT HAD THE POWER OF DEATH, THAT IS, THE
DEVIL; AND DELIVER THEM (YOU AND I) WHO THROUGH FEAR OF DEATH WERE ALL THEIR
LIFETIME SUBJECT TO BONDAGE.
SO IS THERE AN INVISIBLE GOD THAT CREATED ALL THINGS?
PSALM 19:1:
THE HEAVENS DECLARE THE GLORY OF GOD; AND THE FIRMAMENT SHEWETH
HIS HANDYWORK.
ROMANS
sIS THERE A SPIRITUAL
EXISTENCE THAT CARRIES ON AFTER OUR DEATH?
sIT IS REASONABLE AND
LOGICAL TO PURSUE GOD AND ETERNAL LIFE?
IF WE FAIL, AND THERE IS NO GOD, WE WILL HAVE LOST NOTHING!
IF WE DON’T SEEK TO KNOW GOD, AND HE REALLY DOES EXISTS, AND OFFERS MANKIND
LIFE ETERNAL, WE SUFFER A TRAGIC LOSE.
IF I CHOOSE TO BELIEVE IN A CREATOR GOD AND HE REALLY DOES EXIST, THEN I WIN!
WHICH WILL I CHOOSE TO DO?
WILL I CHOOSE TO DO NOTHING ABOUT MY DILEMMA OR WILL I CHOOSE TO TRY TO DO
SOMETHING ABOUT IT?
LOGIC DICTATES THAT IF THERE IS
HEBREEWS 11:6 “HE
THAT COMETH TO GOD MUST BELIEVE THAT HE IS, AND THAT
HE IS A REWARDER OF THEM THAT DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM”
IT IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT I FIND THE MOST
REASONABLE RELIGIOUS METHOD.
THE BIBLE STATES THAT “IF WE SEEK, WE WILL FIND”!
I HAVE CHOSEN TO PUT MY FAITH AND CONFIDENCE IN THE MAN
OF ALL THE PEOPLE, THEORIES, OR RELIGIONS AVAILABLE, ONLY
I WILL PRESENT THE REASONS FOR PLACING MY CONFIDENCE IN
Have a God-day!
