  • You Must Be Born Again To Meet God on Romans 5 - 2 years ago
    Critical thinking is the basic tenet of the skeptical approach. It is an approach that underpins all of its activities and findings, drawing on the scientific method (research, analysis and peer review) to provide the evidence for our points of view.

    Skeptic definition

    * a person who doubts the truth of Christianity and other religions; an atheist.

    * an attitude of doubt or a disposition to incredulity either in general or toward a particular object; the doctrine that true knowledge or some particular knowledge is uncertain; the method of suspended judgment, systematic doubt, or criticism that is characteristic of skeptics (Merriam-Webster).



    * Skeptical theism is the view that God exists but that we should be skeptical of our ability to discern God's reasons for acting or refraining from acting in any particular instance.

    If we really want to believe that the Universe didn't explode in the Big Bang, and that our ancestors didn't crawl out of goo, stand up and walk into college.

    Why is it so hard to believe in God? He's

    Not a creator of weapons systems or video games,

    But a Creator of this planet we live on; fight and die for; enjoy every day of our lives.

    Scientists now say (recent info from satellites sent to study our solar system):

    All the planets once had huge bodies of water. Even Pluto. They see the water beds.

    They surmised that all of the water on other planets evaporated because of location to our Sun.

    How is it that only Earth has abundant water?

    Other planets closer to the sun than earth; and planets further into space behind earth: have only empty sea beds. PBS dot ORG, to see that scientific report.

    We serve a Godhead of unsearchable intelligence, knowledge, power, creative expression, intuition, communication.

    As some people say: haters are gonna hate; as do the doubters. Faith is a mystery. God loves people of FAITH.

    He reveals Himself to Believers. Why miss out on that? Are you a skeptic?

    Mishael,

    We serve a mighty God!! And He is the revealer of EVERYTHING!! Without Faith it is impossible to please God...Faith allows us to KNOW Psalms 57:2 is TRUTH!! God reveals many amazing things, including His MIGHTY self, to His children!! Things we could not know of ourselves!! I praise Him for this!! I am so thankful God picked me!! Please Lord allow me to always Praise You and thank You!

    Psalms 57:2

    I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me.

    Isa 48:6 "Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare it? I have shewed thee new things from this time, even hidden things, and thou didst not know them."

    It is such a joy to meet someone who can barely believe the wonders that God is willing to show to those who love and are excited, about what He has prepared for us to find.

    I decided a long time ago to believe every single thing God has said in His Word. It's not hidden to those who understand God is Creator; willing to show us the mysteries. Sometimes I go outside at night and just stare upwards...knowing that He's looking at me.

    I threw off doubts, like Lazarus was encased in the wrappings of his shroud; after Jesus told him to come forth! Luke 11:43-44, 25-26

    I was out at this bird sanctuary in a frozen January looking at cranes standing on floating blocks of ice. I remark how dead everything looks. My friend says, Not! Flips over a rock and I kneel down to see this whole "bug city" happily doing bug things. I've never forgotten how my unbelief turned into Wonder. When life looks really dead and standstill; flip over the rock.

    Doubt and unbelief are killers. Life is way more interesting than television. I resent advertisers attempting to capture my loyalty to yucky hamburgers. I have a photo of a mother duck with 8 tiny babies on her back, and it makes me think of God. He is so much closer than we think. He loves us and wants to show us things...if we will just slow down and take a walk with Him. I guess Romans 1 captures my heart and loyalty to God, who has made all of this so we can clearly see Him.

    Why is it so hard to tell others, like the Samarian woman at the well who met Jesus and ran fast as she could to tell others, COME SEE A MAN..who told me all the words of my life!!

    He is on every page in the Bible. Your joy, gives Him joy in your life. Even on the dark, cloudy days. He's refreshing the earth :)

    Maybe if we turn again towards our Lord, the rains will return and end this drought in our land?

    Stop the famine, of not hearing the Word of God. Tell of his Mighty Love.
