How to ' ping ' the Living God... 2 Tim 3:16

[old man joe]

whether they like to be called Atheists or Christians or whatever religion one wants to be
identified by, the way to find direct testimony to all of life's questions can be found
in just one place, in Holy Scripture... that which is handed down through the prophets of
God and apostles, and through them alone, to us. Jer. 36:

there is no excuse in these End Times as anyone seeking can find, conditioned by seeking
with a seeking in reverence for our most gracious Heavenly Father. Ps. 86:5

anyone can download free Bibles with word studies from e-sword and use the wonderful
search engine built into the software to find every word in the Bible so that God's Word
can explain what God means by them.

if the Atheist / Evolutionist wants to discover how the universe and man came to be, all
he has to do is approach the throne of the King with reverence and he will find that the
Living God spoke and thus the universe came into being.

He made man from the dust of the ground out of elements found right here on earth and gave
man of His Life. no need to suppose we came from monkeys because an Atheist says so...
Atheists will die but the Living God is eternal... of what value then is a liar over the
Living God who Himself is Truth ?

if the co-redeemer wants to know that man is not saved by the will of man making a
decision to accept Christ, all he has to do is hear what God has to say about the matter
in Jn. 1:12,13. man is not saved by his making a decision for Christ... salvation belongs
to the Lord. Ps. 3:8

if the idol worshipers want to know that worshiping graven images is an abomination they
can do a search and see that seeking finds what God has to say about idol worship and idol
worshipers.

but will those who claim to reverence God do that ? if they did, there wouldn't be
myriads of denominations and there wouldn't be Atheists. if man heeded God's Word he
would have gotten on the Ark.

But you by your very example show this is not the case. You alone do
not stand alone in the source and use and understanding of scripture.
You have inserted yourself into a traditionof these things
that includes a certain radio preacher you mention, the founders of the
protestant movement, the followers of the line of calvin, and one
presumes your local pastor, among others. Many if not most of what you
have recieved in that tradition came long after scripture starting 1500
years after the fact. .

Amen. And how can we see exactly this in the full revelation of God?
In the creation He left us a record of His great work in how these
things were done. That record is one of evolution,ie. change over time
in the species of living things that preceeds what we directly
experience today.

May God bless you.

It's impossible for any of you to imagine a life without supernatural
beliefs, isn't it? I'm so sorry. But atheism is no more a religion than
not collecting stamps is a hobby.

Why do you assume times are ending? It was assumed we were in the End
Times 2000 or so years ago. Did it happen? No. The End Times have been
predicted hundreds of times since then. Did it happen? No.

What did happen?

Millions of people were fooled by religious fanatics. And that's all.

I've read it. I can't even imagine the depths simplicity one's life
and mind would have to be to have all of life's questions answered by
a Goatherder's manuscript like your bible. It's a quaint collection
of fables, not particularly well written, and contradicts itself
several times throughout the text. The only question it answers for
me is what I might wipe my ass with if I run out of toilet paper.
