The notion of order arising from chaos appears to be holding the world, this "developed" part of it anyway, in a death grip. Many people can't let go of it to save their (eternal) lives. I find it bizarre that so many people who are speaking out against false science being used to deceive others are themselves continuing to trust that same false science to shape how they understand their own origin and reasons to be.
1 Cor. 1 contains a fascinating study of what happens when a congregation is guided by the "wisdom" of cultural values. Nothing about that has changed in 2000 years.
Thanks, Scipio, been listening to you for approximately a year. I prayed for the truth 11 years ago. God answered my prayers, there is no truth outside of the bible. Your work is unique as you take it to a deeper level. Thank you
What an excellent dissemination of the materialist and naturalistic views! Thankyou!
I read very few religious writers because I feel that they "believe" only to offset the uncertainty that our vessels fight to be free of.
Given the premises of your argument ( and correct me if I'm wrong).
Truth is only available to those that believe that truth is available from believing in one creator external from themselves, in words translated and interpreted by human writers that spoke gods word through them?.
I was wondering if you could debate against your own argument with as much aplomb?
Thankyou for your work. It is a the most positive interpretation of The Book that I have found.
I remain sceptical, but glad that some believers are not totally delusional or unaware of how religion has been used by the beasts to keep people chained.
Thank you for that Justin. My theology isn’t perfect (no one’s is), but I try my best to faithfully represent the testimony of Scripture.
I wouldn't say you have to have revelation to know truth (we all know true things); or that truth is only revealed through Scripture or divine revelation — it’s been revealed to us all. Some choose to suppress this truth instead of responding to it — a conscious choice to deny what’s evident around us. Paul makes this point in Romans 1: The Creator is made manifest through His creation. We all live and operate as if meaning and purpose are real; because without them, life unravels.
Nature alone though can only reveal so much. It tells us of God’s power and order, but it doesn’t tell us who He truly is or His purpose for us. The generic deistic god might allow us to account for an initial act of creation, but it fails to justify order, purpose, or love. In fact, such a god is, by definition, indifferent and impersonal. A god who is isolated and disconnected from creation cannot be the source of these values as they would be contrary to its very nature.
Nature starts the search, but revelation completes it, showing us the Triune God — a God who isn’t isolated but personal and relational: the foundation for purpose, relationship, and self sacrificial love.
