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.

No 26. Salvation through Sex

National Women's Hall of Fame Mary Steichen Calderone Mary Calderone sees the problem with the world is the human nature is not evolving as quickly as technology; therefore we must remould human nature itself to the modern, every changing world. She says that a new change is breaking across the Horizon and the task of Educators is to prepare children to step into this new world. To do this they must pry children away from old views and values especially from Biblical and other traditional forms of sexual morality for "religious laws and rules about sex were made on the basis of ignorance. " 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.25 The Problem of a Good God, and Existence of Evil

Notes from Colson and Peacey Pps 208- 211 If God is both All-Good and All-Powerful he will not allow evil and suffering to exist in His Creation. Yet, evil does exist. Therefore, either God is not all-good (that is why He tolerates evil), ar, he is not all-powerful (that is why He can't get rid of evil, even if He wanted to.) Men try to propose their solutions but they all fall short of the Biblical Solution. Here are the normal human solutions to these supposed contradictions: Solution #1 Deny that God exists at all. The atheist simply throws out the first proposition. If there is no God at all, then evil poses no problem. Or does it? If we follow this proposal to its logical conclusion, the problem of evil is transformed into something even worse: that nothing is evil, and by extension, that nothing is good. If there is no God then, there is no good and no evil. They are only subjective feelings taught by our society or culture telling us what is approved and what is dis...

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 ...
