What does faith mean to people from Poland? [30]
So who created the creator!
John,
the problem with science is that it needs an explanation for everything, just as cults do, if it does not make sense and I can not see it, it must be proven. Science can not explain the existence or non-existence of God.
So God gave us other things that speak about him, and the heavens and earth proclaim his existence.
Your ? is similar to one I had as a youth. I looked at the universe as a box and it had certain space, so inside that box existed me and the universe I saw, so then what is on the outside of my box??
So i made another box to put the 1st one in and then realized there had to be another and another and that it was infinite. So I reasoned with myself, and that is when i realized there had to be a God, because nothing else could have done such a wonderful and beautiful thing!!
Faith my friend as quoted in the bible is the ability to NOT see something..."Faith is the substance of things Hoped for and the evidence of things not seen", so in order for our faith to be real we can not see what we hope for....Does not make sense does it, that is why it is simply Faith.
If you have to have an explanation for it, it no longer is faith or hope. It is diminished to seeing something that then we can agree exists. Why did God create Faith, and not show his face to us??
He did this because he gave us the free will to believe or not to. If we believe without seeing that man is blessed, if we are Tomas he would not believe until he put his hands in Jesus's nail marks, that man according to scripture has not faith.
So we have "free will" to accept God for who he is and will be, and that also includes believing he always was, he does not exist in time and space, he simply exists outside of time. We are bound by time, but when we die we will shed this veil that is between us and we will see God for who he is truly, and I can not wait for that day!!
You see it is not a crutch as some who do not understand it, it is a gift.
So you have free will to love him or reject him. I have studied the bible from "in the beginning" to the end, and the bible harmonizes itself, and you see the true character of God in this book. You see him alive not dead, you see his Grace and Mercy, you are grateful to him for what he means to you, you choose to love him by free will, not because you are afraid of Hell, it is a relationship, just like you have with your earthly father.
Now some cults as I have said want to have an explanation for this all the time, and if it does not make sense then they must make something that does.
Faith does not Make sense!! You can not explain it.
Here is my total point.
Check all religions in the world, you will see one thing in common, they are trying to reach God on their won and by their will and works, every single one!!
Christianity is the only religion on the world where a God came down to reach man, he did not require something from us, "he gave" He gave his only begotten Son, so he that believe in him shall have everlasting life!! "he who" meaning "anyone", there are no prerequisites, just simply "Faith"
have a great day!! and God Bless you Sir!!
i need to go to for now i will write more later, is a very good subject in this non-believing humanistic world we live in today, there are reasons why many people have a hard time believing in a God today and it is alot to do with our lifestyle and cultures!!
later!!!
