My dear friends,
I believe in God and in the course of my faith, I realize one very important thing: God is not to be debated. We either believe in Him or we don't. There are still many things scientists cannot prove or disprove and there are many things that scientists just cannot understand - a very 'simple' thing like the process of metamorphosis changing an ugly caterpilla into a butterfly has puzzled scientists for ages. We must however look from the wider perspective. Will I lose anything by believing that there is a God and Jesus became man to save us? All the teachings in the Bible tell people not to be greedy, not to look for worldly pleasure as the only source of enjoyment, to forgive others, to love your spouse, to love your enemies, and so many other good teachings. Do I lose anything by following these teachings? Well if in the end there is no God (which I strongly don't believe in), not just me alone but also my spouse, my friends, my neighbours will profit from me when I live according to these teachings. If there is a God (which I strongly believe in), and you don't believe in it, you are going to be lost into eternity. That's not gamble your life. When you believe there is God, no matter which way you look at it, you are going to profit from it. No amount of debate will convince a person that there is a God. Only God through His holy spirit can convince that He exists. If through debate, we can be convinced that there is God, then He is no more God and we don't need the Bible which is God's inspired Word. We just need scientists and more laboratories, research centers and not churches. Can you imagine such advertisement: "Want to know there is God, come to this Center for the Advancement of Science and Biology and we can prove to you there is a God". It's simply ridiculous! Does God really need scientists to prove His existence?
[I welcome your thoughts - but please be civilized: no abusive language please. Your kids may also be reading this and I am sure you don't want your abusive language be read by your kids - whether you know they were written by you is not important - the facts remain you have wirtten them. So refrain from using abusive language not just here but in all your postings elsewhere. Thank you and God Bless You.
