He Got it right

He got it right
In the book of Job we read,

“He (God) spreads out the northern  skies  over empty space; 

He suspends the earth over nothing.” 

                                                Job 26:7.

The writer of the book of Job writing in second millennium BC (somewhere between 2000BC to 1000BC) got things right when he wrote,

"He (God) spreads out the northern  skies  over empty space; 

He suspends the earth over nothing." 

                                                Job 26:7.

Yet this man never left the earth. What proves Job right are the various pictures taken of earth from space. Look at each of these images taken by various NASA missions. From left to right. Earth from Apollo 8 while orbiting the moon. Earth taken from Apollo 17, 45000 Kilometres from earth on their way to the moon. Earth from Voyager the furthest picture ever taken of earth at a distance of 6 Billion Kilometres.

They all show Earth hanging on nothing.
This shows me that God gave the writer insight.
Also the more I look into science done right. The more I see the hand of a creator God.
Werner Heisenberg father of Quantum Mechanics said,
“The first gulp from the glass of natural science will make you an atheist,
but at the bottom of the glass God is waiting for you” Werner Heisenberg father of Quantum Mechanics noble prize in physics.
Another Nobel Prize winner William Philips,
“I believe in God more because of science than in spite of it"William Philips Nobel prize winning Physicist.
God is very real. For me personally it does not matter how God created the Universe or how long it took him be it billions of years or six twenty-four hour days. The fact is the Bible tells us.

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” 

                                                                        Genesis 1:1.

The fact is in the Gospel of John we read,
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  
He was with God in the beginning. 
Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.  
In him was life, and that life was the light of men....
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. ” John 1:1-4,14.
The fact is the God who made Heaven and Earth came to this world He created in the form of His One and Only Son Christ Jesus to point the way to heaven.
The fact is the gospel of John records Jesus speaking of himself as saying gives us a choice, saying,
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.  
Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son”. John 3:16-18.
Thus my question to you the reader; Do you believe this?
Please think about it.

The Bible and Science

The Bible and Science
In the Gospel of John we read,
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” John 3:16,17.
This is the sole purpose in Jesus coming to this earth. The whole Bible narrative centres around the salvation message. Centres around the way individuals get to heaven.
Sadly many Christians get sidetracked debating evolution and other scientific theories.  Something that is entirely unnecessary. Something that takes them away from the principle purpose of the Bible, how to get to heaven.
Galileo Galilei wisely said,

"The Bible shows the way to go to heaven, 

not the way the heavens go."

                                 Galileo Galilei.

For me it is enough to know that God created the heavens and the earth. Whether he did it in six twenty-four hour days or over billions of years is irrelevant. God is God and could have done things either way.
I feel as a Christian. A believer in Christ Jesus, it is imperative that I and all Christians stay if you will, on script. That we proclaim the message I noted above,
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” John 3:16,17.
Please if you consider yourself a Christian. Think about it.

A Definite Statement

A definite statement
The Bible tells us,
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” Genesis 1:1.
The writers of the Bible did not argue about the existence of God. It was written to believers and therefor God’s existence was not in debate.
Sadly many who do not believe in God do not believe because they say He cannot be seen felt or heard. Evidence of God however is all around. The Psalmist states,

The heavens declare the glory of God; 

the skies proclaim the work of his hands. 

Day after day they pour forth speech; 

night after night they display knowledge. 

There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard.” 

Psalm 19:1-3.

What the psalmist is saying is proof of God is all around. The entire universe is proof of God.
The universe is in perfect order. Everything from the largest galaxy to the smallest subatomic particle works together to produce life as we know it on earth. To my way of thinking that tells me there is a creator behind it all.
Ultimately however it is up to the individual to decide whether God exists or not.
I like to think believing in God is “informed faith”. Informed faith meaning looking at the world around you. Seeing it’s perfection and realizing that behind it all is a God who created it all.
Please think about it.

A Fundamental Truth

A Fundamental Truth.
The book of Genesis states,
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” Genesis 1:1.
This statement sums up the first two chapters of the book of Genesis. At the same time it sums up what both Jews and Christians believe. “God created the universe and everything in it.”
When the book of Genesis was written as with all Biblical books it was not intended as a book of science. It was written as a book of faith intended to be understood by all people from the most ancient of days to the present time.
Had the writer attempted to write the book in modern scientific terms the readers prior to our generation and many in our generation would not have understood it.
The book of Genesis simply states “God created the heavens and the earth” how it was created, be it through the big bang, through evolution over millions of years, or in six twenty-four hour days is unimportant.
The only important fact is “God created the heavens and the Earth.”
That being said, the Bible points out that there is evidence of God saying,

“The heavens declare the glory of God; 

the skies proclaim the work of his hands. 

Day after day they pour forth speech;

 night after night they display knowledge. 

There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard.” 

                                                                         Psalm 19:1-3.

The way I see it is the perfection of the universe from the largest galaxy to the smallest subatomic particle speaks of a divine creator. For we live in a universe that is designed in such a way that it makes it possible for we as human beings to exist. I for one cannot believe this is simply by chance.
Thus the choice is up to you. Do you believe there is a God who created the universe and everything in it or not?
Please think about it.

God used beautiful mathematics

God used beautiful mathematics
The Book of Genesis tells us,

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” 

Genesis 1:1

Paul Dirac said,

“God used beautiful mathematics in creating the world.” 

                                                                                      Paul Dirac

I am a Christian. I have read the Bible. At the same time I am a firm believer in that science done correctly will give proof God created the heavens and the Earth.
The Psalmist states,

“The heavens declare the glory of God; 

the skies proclaim the work of his hands. 

Day after day they pour forth speech; 

night after night they display knowledge. 

There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard.”

Psalm 19:1-3

I am told by scientist that the earth is at the exact place not only in the solar system to sustain life as we know it, but in the exact place in the universe.
The scientists are showing that the universe is mathematically perfect. We may not have all the correct formulas for predicting things that happen in the universe yet, but given enough time I believe that will happen.
The perfection of the universe to sustain life as we know it, to my way of thinking points to the universe being created by God.
Whether God used the big bang or any other means makes no difference. The fact remains God could have created the universe any way He wished.
Now I’m not a scientist however I do believe science done right can point the way to God. One scientist I have found that makes sense is an astrophysicist by the name of Hugh Ross.
Two of his videos show how God could have created the universe. Both are available on You Tube  The Videos are “God and the Big Bang” and Genesis One and Natural History.
Whether you believe in God or not, I would ask that you at least take the time to look at these videos with an open mind, in addition to reading the Bible. After all it cannot hurt.
Please at least think about it.

A Faith Thing

A Faith Thing
The writer of Genesis states,

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” Genesis 1:1.

The Bible does not debate the existence of God. After all it was written to believers. The Bible simply says “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” Genesis 1:1. It by default acknowledges the existence of God and leaves it up to the reader to decide for themselves.
Thomas Aquinas said,
“To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible.” Thomas Aquinas.
I think what Thomas Aquinas said is very true in the day and age in which we live. Just a quick glance around the internet proves there are many people who believe in God without reservation. Likewise there are many who no matter what you say to them, they will not believe in God.
I believe in God because I cannot believe that the short span of years we live in this physical world is all there is. At the same time I do not have blind faith in God. I believe as the Psalmist states,

“The heavens declare the glory of God; 

the skies proclaim the work of his hands. 

Day after day they pour forth speech; 

night after night they display knowledge. 

There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. 

Their voice goes out into all the earth, 

their words to the ends of the world. 

Psalm 19:1-4

I believe in a world, in a universe, that was perfectly created to sustain life as we know it.
    From the smallest subatomic particle to the most massive galaxy all work in harmony to created life as we know it.
I believe the writer of Hebrews who said,
“By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.” Hebrews 11:3.
This I admit is very much an act of faith on my part, which makes me no different than any scientist and particularly theoretical physicist. Men and women who postulate a theory from what they see around them, then believe by faith their science is correct.
Men and women such as Einstein, who had faith his theories were correct all his life, some of which were not proven until after his death.  
Thus it is with God. If we look around we can see God’s handiwork within creation. We can because of the perfection of the universe and everything in it postulate accurately that God exists.
Ultimately however I admit it comes down to a faith. The writer of Hebrews states,
“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” Hebrews 11:6.
Thus the question come down to do you the reader. Do you believe in God?
Please think about it.
