• ‘Extreme Persecution’: This Graphic Shows the 50 Worst Countries to Live in if You’re a Christian

  January 9, 2013 at 4:29pm

  Just got a similar map from the group Voice of the Martyrs. I think it’s really telling when you find that the majority of these nations are primarily Muslim or under an atheistic totalitarian regime (North Korea #1???). We should pray for those persecuted in these nations that they might be kept safe and that they might continually be encoraged to spread the gospel. However, we should also recognize that Christians are persecuted everywhere in the world as the world hates us because we are not its own. Because of this, we should be compelled to action to support our brothers and sisters wherever we are.

• If the Wise Men Followed a Star (Scientifically), Would They End Up in Bethlehem?

  December 18, 2012 at 4:04pm

  The magi saw the star yes, but in Matthew 2:1-6, they demonstrated their knowledge of Scripture by saying that the star itself was only a sign of a prophecy made by Michah. They were led to their destination by the prophecy which reads, “Bethlehem Ephrathah, you are small among the clans of Judah; One will come from you to be ruler over Israel for Me. His origin is from antiquity, from eternity” (Micah 5:2 HCSB). And in Luke 2:8-20, the angels likewise revealed the location of Jesus’ birthplace to the shepherds. However, the shepherds got there the night of his birth, whereas the magi made it possibly several weeks to months later as Mary, Joseph, and Jesus were living in a house at that point (Matthew 2:11) and were no longer in the stable indicating that there was a long journey yet they still managed to reach their destination.

  Acid- You must have missed the part where mentioned that no one had been around for Creation. Scientists work with observation to hypothesis to test to repeat and so on until they find results. Creation is not something that was observed nor is it something that can be tested repeatedly and if it could, it would only prove that intelligence is required for Creation.

  Ken- The sun works with nuclear fusion not fission. And there is plenty evidence against evolution as well, some of which I listed somewhere else on this article. We are called to be perfect: Be holy because I, The Lord your God, am holy. (Lev 19:2) Obviously we can’t do that on our own, which is why Jesus came down and made it possible for us. And the reason why we start with the Bible first is because it is God’s Word, not man’s. “All of Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, for training in righteousness.” (2 Timothy 3:16)

  Acid- Evolutionists claim that we are merely time+matter+chance and it works off of atheistic notions. Therefore they too have the burden of proving God’s nonexistence just as much as the theist is in His existence. However, there is far more compelling evidence for God’s existence than otherwise. And since they claim that we are time+matter+chance, then we are a universal accident. I am merely the product of a biological mass forming in some coherent way. Accidentally, of course. I have no control over such a formation and am subject to the whims of my molecules. Evolution does not answer the “ought” question nor can it answer that question.

  And yes, both sides use the same evidence. It is the interpretation that is different. Creationists work on the assumption that God exists. Evolutionists work on the assumption that everything can be explained naturally. But if the latter is true and only my genetics decides what I believe and what you believe, then there really is no point in trying to change my mind, since my mind is already “made up”, pun intended.

  Actually challenges have left some believers without answers for centuries until new evidence appears to support the Bible and its claims. And yes I suppose it is unfair that God’s evidence is on His side ^_^

  But as it is written: What eye did not see and ear did not hear, and what never entered the human mind- God prepared this for those who love Him. (1 Corinthians 2:9 HCSB)

  Oh I think my leg will be fine once I bandage it lol. Yes I’m sure God did know what Adam would do which is why He had already made a plan to save us through His Son. As for God being lonely, remember that God’s eternal nature means that He cannot change. So if God is a Father, He must’ve been a Father eternally, which means that the Son existed eternally as well and they both loved one another in the same Spirit of God. Three in Personhood, One in Godhood. And if they are three in Personhood, then they aren’t alone now are they. I understand where you’re coming from though. It’s near impossible to imagine just what being in a relationship with God really means until we actually come before Him face to face. It will be in that moment when our greatest expectations will be overcome by the reality of His purpose for us. And yes I had a fantastic time talking with you. If you want to talk more I could give you my email if you like.

  And I can see where you get your inflammatory and incorrect views on science and the Bible judging by the videos you chose to show me. Try again.
