Evidence of God Is All Around You...Consider the Caterpillar

If you take a look around at nature, you see the creator's handiwork everywhere. I sometimes reflect on my feeble attempts at completing certain projects, and lament that some of my projects don't turn out perfectly all the time, even when I put a lot of thought and planning into them.   I consider the level of perfection, precision, and perfect synchronization that's been put into God's creation, and I'm in absolute awe when I contemplate it, especially when I compare my own feeble attempts at completing certain projects.  Things just don't turn out well without a sophisticated level of planning, precision, and intelligent thought being put into anything, especially anything that's complicated. This world is not just an accident or chance, it's planned, precisely designed, and intelligently developed by an entity that's far more intelligent than mankind, by a being that's even beyond the feeble understanding of mankind.   God is so far superior ...

The Basis of Faith

The bible contains 4000+ years of prophecies that simply defy anything other than a super natural intervention in the lives of human beings by a far superior being than mankind. We refer to this being as "God."  The concept of God is a difficult concept for mankind to comprehend because man was given his/her own free will by God. The natural man is "self directed," and has a flawed natural instinct to be self directed. Therefore, the natural man initially forms his/her own definition of righteousness. But, mankind's standard of righteousness is flawed if we are to accept 4000 years of historical record and the Prophecies of the Bible, which reflect God's effort to bring man to an understanding that his concept of righteousness is flawed, and in fact, all of mankind is sinful on some level.  If we behave as "good people" according to mankind's standards,then we are our own judges, with no basis from which to define righteousness according to God...

What is true faith?

As a stage 4 cancer patient, and presently doing well on Chemo Therapy, I thought it might be appropriate at this opportunity to document things in blog format, as biblical things weigh more heavily on my mind. Thank you for your understanding, and thank God for his saving grace, the hope he gives, and his wonderful love, protection, and support all these years!   Accept it or reject it, God gave us free will, and along with free will, the responsibility for our free will decisions and our free will consequences.  Why risk it?  I'm NOT, Jesus commands me to say the following to all that will listen. John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." Everyone who believes in Jesus Christ will have eternal life, and will live forever! But, what does that really mean? Demons in the bible  "believed"  in Jesus Christ as God in human flesh/form, and witnesse...
