BIBLICAL RATIONALITY

The one God from without, came through one man from within. Let me explain. First and foremost, the laws of physics dictate that every action, has a reaction. Let us start from the very beggining. The big bang, being a rapid expansion of energy, that previously was not in existence. The big bang was a reaction, now the question becomes, what is the action that caused it? Cause and Effect. The big bang being a flash of expanding energy, spacetime itself emerged. However, we have always known, through scripture in Genesis 1:3. "God said let there be light" and boom, we perceived the big bang. Whatever is capable, of creating a universe from nothing, with such brilliant compexity; could be nothing short of God. Or is it more probable that the big bang caused itself? Which would violate the laws of physics. The universe obeys particular parameters, that "emerged", laws dont create themselves. Speaking of which, the universe that emerg...

Many have persistently complained about how late millennials are leaving their nest. Of course, there is a responsibility that all must shoulder, to become independent. If within possibility even have a family. However times have changed and not only the norms, the financial hierarchy, the western Christian virtues have declined.  Single moms, teenage pregnancy, baby daddy's, step daddy's, home wreckers, child support, alimony, people behind bars because of spouce slander, and lastly separation of families by the state; due to negligent families rightfully, bias laws with favoritism, divorce and custody laws that favor women. As a man the concept of marriage has lost its luster. Within the advent of social media and such. Back in the day people would interact with actual people in real life. Honestly, how many of us even talk to our very own neighbors? The invention of phone and Internet, has literally reduced the distance between space, time and information used travel by almo...

The truth is simply 1+1 equals 2. Yes it is true that 1 and 3, can be closer than 7 and 9, but they are not true either way. Similarly when it comes to religion, they are some messages that may have some truth in them, but they cannot all be true. If we start walking even from the same position. If we all walked in different directions, we would not all arrive at the same location. This is common sense, but reasoning fails when it comes to discussions about spirituality.  They can't all be true, if what they say is different. Either God exists or he does not, either reincarnation exists or it does not, either the self exists or it is an illusion, either life was created or it evolved. Either the universe spontaneously created itself or it was created by an intelligent designer. Either heaven or hell exists, or they do not. Either all that exists are within our senses and can be perceived through technology like science and materialism claims, or there is more to this than that. Let...

Christianity has been falling in the United States and the younger population, isn't going to church or seeking a relationship with God. Instead of looking at the world and making judgement on their moral failings, perhaps we should take a look at ourselves. When many people look at Christianity today, all they see is hypocrisy. Many people judging others, even though they share the same desires and commit the same vices. In the act of condemning others, some people get a sense of moral superiority. However is this how Jesus would act? If our ultimate goal is to follow him. When the woman that was adulterous that was sent to Jesus Christ, and the pharisees wanted to see how Jesus would respond. He asked them that whomever hasn't committed sin, pick up the first stone. In shame, the whole crowd walked away. Jesus asked her, who has condemned you? She said, no one, and he said, neither do I, go and don't sin again. If even Christ couldn't condemn this ...

Paul Harvey in the year 1975 stated this "If I were the devil … If I were the Prince of Darkness, I’d want to engulf the whole world in darkness. And I’d have a third of its real estate, and four-fifths of its population, but I wouldn’t be happy until I had seized the ripest apple on the tree — Thee. So I’d set about however necessary to take over the United States. I’d subvert the churches first — I’d begin with a campaign of whispers. With the wisdom of a serpent, I would whisper to you as I whispered to Eve: ‘Do as you please. To the young, I would whisper that ‘The Bible is a myth.’ I would convince them that man created God instead of the other way around. I would confide that what’s bad is good, and what’s good is ‘square.’ And the old, I would teach to pray, after me, ‘Our Father, which art in Washington… And then I’d get organized. I’d educate authors in how to make lurid literature exciting, so that anything else would appear dull and uninteresting. I’d threaten TV with d...

 This is a difficult question, primarily because of the motives of those asking this question. So I shall name them, and then answer the questions to the best of my understanding. The first group is those who are angry at God, for the death of a loved one or a series of unfortunate events; unlike others, I do not come here to condemn but to try to understand and give a valid explanation. Others of a similar subset are angry, that a good God would allow suffering to exist. Others have been convinced of evolutionary theory, are naturalistic, and find the idea of the supernatural absurd. Some have lost hope in God completely. First, we must examine why bad things happen to good people. First of all, in biblical references, there are no good people, every person born sins, and dies; sometimes we die, because of other people's sins. The only one that is good is God. A good God who wants our genuine love has given man free will. The angels have this free will, too. A third of them fell u...
