A This World Perspective Only.
Naturalists only think about what happens in the here and now, this age, this world and this life. For them the grave is the end.
But for real Christians, they see things from an eternal perspective. Everything we do now has eternal significance. One Day there will be a JUDGMENT for everyone. Our choices now have eternal consequences.
Col 3:1 If however you have risen with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, enthroned at God's right hand.
Col 3:2 Give your minds to the things that are above, not to the things that are on the earth.
Col 3:3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
Col 3:4 When Christ appears--He is our true Life--then you also will appear with Him in glory.
Col 3:5 Therefore put to death your earthward inclinations--fornication, impurity, sensual passion, unholy desire, and all greed, for that is a form of idolatry.
Col 3:6 It is on account of these very sins that God's anger is coming,

Col 3:7 and you also were once addicted to them, while you were living under their power.

" Family Book about Sexuality" Calderone and Johnston p. 171 Notes from Colson and Pearcey p.242 When we trace the history of ideas about sexuality, it becomes clear that the founders of sex education never did seek simply to transmit a collection of facts about how our bodies work. Rather, they were evangelists for the utopian worldview, a religion , in which a "sci...

No.23. Einstein and the Clergymen

"A God who did not abolish suffering - worse, a God who abolished sin precisely by suffering - is a scandal to the modern mind. " Peter Kreeft. C. Colson and N. Pearcey p.203 ranker.com He ate grasshoppers just to troll his friends The year was 1942, and the scene was the crowded front parlour of Albert Einstein's home, where the famous physicist had arranged a tea party for three clergymen: a young orthodox rabbi named Dov Hertzen, a middle-aged Catholic Priest named Brian McNaughton and a liberal Protestant Theologian named Mark Hartman. Albert Einstein's Out of my Latter years and The World as I see it. "Rabbi Hertzen here 'provoked' this little party," Einstein began, as soon as the men had sampled the tea and cookies. " He congratulated me on my open-mindedness when I dropped my belief in a static Universe. Not long ago, I observed Hubble's red-shifts for myself at Cal Tech." Einstein leaned back in his chair and ...
