religion can be studied, but faith can't be talked about. Especially when the person sitting across from you is an atheist. Josh said: I can't, I can't do what you want. I'm a Christian. He didn't bypass and chose to "fight". Matthew 10:32-33: "Whoever acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven; and whoever denies me before men, I will also acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven. ."
I was asked, "How can you accept something like that, God?"
I couldn't stand without proof. Moses performed miracles, and it was not until the disaster of killing the firstborn that Pharaoh nodded and let the 600,000 people of Israel leave Egypt. The plague of blood, the plague of frogs, the plague of lice, the plague of flies, the plague of animal plagues, the plague of sores, the plague of hail, the plague of locusts, and the plague of darkness came one after another, and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he would not let the Israelites go. It can be seen that there is no absolute relationship between evidence and facts.
But still have. Pilgrims ascend to the Holy Land. You ask him for evidence, and he may tell you: to experience. Kierkegaard has a saying: "The beginning of philosophy is the individual, and the end is God." Otherwise, people may go crazy. Philosophy goes from bottom to top, infinitely upwards, constantly extending, without end, so people say: there is no God. Continue to extend until there is no conclusion at all. Where is God? can not see. Reason to blame. In the final analysis, all subjects belong to the category of philosophy, and science is also a derivative of philosophy. But above philosophy - theology, from Thomas Aquinas's interpretation: Faith is higher than reason, and reason is the supplement of faith. Since philosophy is bottom-up, theology, in contrast, is top-down, coming from one—we call it God, the same as Judaism has taught for thousands of years: One God.
Don't believe because you understand enough, just because you don't understand.
The righteous Job suffered for no reason, desperate for answers. God answered him from the whirlwind. Job was terrified and said, "I said it once, and I don't answer it; I said it twice, and I don't say it again." "Who hides your will with ignorant words? What I say is something I don't understand, these things are too Wonderful things I don't know. Listen to me, I want to speak, I ask you, show me. I heard about you before, and now I see you with my own eyes. For I hate myself, and repent in dust and ashes. (Job 40:5, 42:3-6)
It seems that belief has nothing to do with knowledge. Believe it if you understand it, don't believe it if you don't understand it. If you don't understand, you still believe, and it seems to become a confused and confused belief. Where is the one who has been seeking God and cannot find it? When a person pretends to be rational and wants to deconstruct God, God is not there. God is not here, not there, not in philosophy, not in words. Just as on Mount Sinai, Elijah walked forty days and forty nights to the mountain of God. Where is God? There was a strong wind, and the mountains collapsed, but God was not in it; after the wind, there was an earthquake, but God was not in it; after the earthquake, there was fire, but God was not in the fire; after the fire, there was a small voice, and Elijah came out, and God was there. Elijah spoke out the confusion in his heart, but he did not understand. No one can understand it all.
Atheists say that no one can prove the existence of God. But I said, no one can refute that the existence of God is false. Isaiah 55:9 "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts higher than your thoughts." What was the origin of the Big Bang? How does matter become matter? Stephen Hawking challenged Christian Newton in "The Grand Plan", proposing: "Because of gravity, the universe can form spontaneously, and from nothing, the world and human beings will exist." The existence of the universe is because the universe needs to exist. , so it creates itself, and then gives reasons for how it created itself. Thus, interpretation can also be placed on God. God exists, needs to exist, self-created and how to exist and fill all things. Romans Chapter 1: Since the creation of the heavens and the earth, the eternal power and divinity of God have been clearly known, and though they are invisible to the eyes, they can be known through the things that have been created, so that there is no excuse. The sophistication of the universe is breathtaking, the probability of natural formation is so low, and no one has yet been able to explain "where matter came from".
I believed in the Lord at the age of eight, and seventeen years have passed. The older a person is, the more he needs God. The words "thank the Lord" that I used to say when I was a child are mostly from my heart to this day. After hearing many testimonies, experiencing many graces, reading many books, and finally returning to HOLY BIBLE, I have complete inner peace, trust, and trust. But this is just me, personal feelings are not enough to explain anything. I asked a friend, when you're at the end of the day, are those frenzied frenzy during the day really happy? She nodded affirmatively. I was wrong, the answer prepared in my heart was invalid. If she shook her head, I don't think so many people would leave the church one after the other right now.
When God reveals a little, people understand a little more. Although the truth is entrusted once, it is gradually revealed, so there are still so many people who don't understand it, and stay firm for a lifetime. My friends were amazed at that time. "I thought you believed in Jesus to be a 'straw' in your heart. Do you really believe in heaven?" "Yes, I believe in the words of the Bible."
