Does God Exist?

An Atheist Professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the
problem science has with God, The Almighty.

He asks one of his new students to stand and.....

Prof: So you believe in God?

Student: Absolutely, sir.

Prof: Is God good?

Student: Sure.

Prof: Is God all-powerful?

Student: Yes.

Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to
heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill.
But God didn't. How is this God good then? Hmm?

(Student is silent.)

Prof: You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fella. Is
God good?

Student: Yes.

Prof: Is Satan good?

Student: No.

Prof: Where does Satan come from?

Student: From...God...

Prof: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?

Student: Yes.

Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything.
Correct?

Student: Yes.

Prof: So who created evil?

(Student does not answer.)

Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these
terrible things exist in the world, don't they?

Student: Yes, sir.

Prof: So, who created them?

(Student has no answer.)

Prof: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and
observe the world around you. Tell me, son...Have you ever seen
God?

Student: No, sir.

Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?

Student: No, sir.

Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, or smelled your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?

Student: No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.

Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?

Student: Yes.

Prof: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol,
cience says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?

Student: Nothing. I only have my faith.

Prof: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.

Student: Professor, is there such a thing as heat?

Prof: Yes.

Student: And is there such a thing as cold?

Prof: Yes.

Student: No sir. There isn't.

(The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)

Student: Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don't have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that.There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.

(There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)

Student: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?

Prof: Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?

Student: You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of
something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light,
flashing light.... But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and it's called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't.
If it were, you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't
you?

Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?

Student: Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.

Prof: Flawed? Can you explain how?

Student: Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but man has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?

Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, then yes, of course I do.

Student: Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?

(The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize
where the argument is going.)

Student: Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavour, are you not teaching your own opinion, sir? Are you not a preacher rather than a scientist?

(The class is in uproar)

Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain?

(The class breaks out into laughter)

Student: Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's brain, felt it, touched or smelled it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?

(The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face
unfathomable.)

Prof: I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.

Student : That is it, sir.... The link between man & God is FAITH.
That is all that keeps things moving & alive.

Living as a christian and also a model there are alot of things that I feel I shouldn't partake in, If I confess to be a christian. Many people say that they're a christian, but have not light. Well thats not the type of Christian that I strive to be. I myself don't think you should have to tell someone your a christian for them to know, they should see through your good works....sooooooo I ask as a christian model what do you think is to much, where should the line be drawn?

Can't wait to here your response

Smooches

It saddens me how many things go on right in the church that aren't pleasing to God. For you the readers and myself its time to wake up and start doing the things that God has called us to do. Its time out for sitting down on God, but yet in return wanting him to always provide for us. The next two blogs were taken off of a new friend Prophetess Joy's Page, I hope you let these minister to you so that there will be a significant change. Be Blessed 

Spiritual Lesbianism - Epidemic in the Church

I have struggled with this message since Monday when I first began hearing God speak it.  During corporate prayer, I distinctly heard God say, "The spirit of lesbianism is rampant in the church."  We discussed it briefly following prayer, but God has continued to speak on the subject, and I must share what He has given me, though this is a hard word – even for me to swallow...

 

..:NAMESPACE PREFIX = O />

All that God said particularly caught my attention, because He said "lesbianism" rather than homosexuality.  I had to get further clarification on why He used this term.  I took the message as a general one for the Body of Christ, but God said this message is a direct one for those in my sphere of influence – those with whom I interact on a daily basis.  In that case, mostly women...

 

One of the first indications of lesbianism is the denial of natural affection.  "I don't need a man.  A woman can do anything a man can do.  I can take care of myself."  There is a polluted level of independence that moves beyond the natural tendency, causing a woman in the natural to dismiss what God has designed – the union between a man and a woman.  Essentially, women in the church are doing the same thing as women in the world – denying the dependence God has ordained.

 

Gen 3:16  Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

 

Yes, God has shown me and rehearsed the conversations in my ears.  "I don't need a Pastor or a covering.  I operate in all the gifts.  I can do ministry all by myself."  Many are moving outside of God's natural order – outside of what God has designed for the Church.  Even in the realm of partnered ministry, many women in particular are dismissing the mandate on their husband's lives.  Pulpits are becoming divided.  How many churches have we seen pastored by a man or a couple when suddenly the wife has a television show titled "Her Name" Ministries?  Why the division and the need to be separate from the unity God has put in place?  Ladies, why have we adopted the lie that we must walk alone in order to prove our strength?  Why do we feel that we can only trust one another with what God has given us?  Why are we threatened to submit to the men God has placed over us, whether they be in ministry or our own homes?

 

Eph 5:21  Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

Eph 5:22  Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.

Eph 5:23  For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

Eph 5:24  Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

 

I understand there are times when God will call a woman out for spiritual or ministerial service.  There are situations when a man in a relationship may not be at the same level spiritually as the woman or vise versa.  NO EXCUSE.  In fact, this used to be my excuse for many of the things I did to "overstep" my husband's position as head of the household.  God's response – "YOU married him.  By doing so, YOU submitted to the authority."  Yes, the same holds true in the church. 

 

When we feel our leaders are out of line or that they have "missed God", we take it upon ourselves to overstep their authority or step out into our own ministries, without their covering and without accountability.  We then justify it by saying they are not in God's will.  The word of God remains the same.  This is the season to LEAVE or CLEAVE.  Stop bashing, insulting and criticizing those to whom you can't submit.  God is saying the same thing.  "YOU decided to make covenant with that body of believers.  In doing so, YOU agreed to submit to the authority."

 

We spend too much time justifying disobedience by exploiting what we consider to be the sins and shortcomings of our leaders in the spiritual and the natural.  Oftentimes, men are the target of this ridicule.  Either way, it is out of order.  Instead, we should be asking God to reveal our own character.  If, in fact, they are so wrong and flawed, what made us CHOOSE to enter the covenant?  Even more, where is the POWER we should have to bring change to that situation?  Are we so special and holy – are our ministries so sanctified that God will excuse us from His plan, allowing just a select few to defy authority and step into the spotlight, leaving behind the ones we agreed to follow?

 

Women of God, let's be careful not to leave God's plan and order – naturally or spiritually – as they are both against the nature and will of our Father.  The spirit of lesbianism is being manifested and is running rampant in the church.  Do not be a carrier, but work to restore order in your homes and the Body of Christ.

 

Spiritual lesbianism is a serious ordeal, and it is rampant – not only in the organization of the church, but on the internet.  The internet is flowing with "lack of order" because accountability cannot be mandated.  The internet can be hidden.  One's true identity, motives and emotions can be covered up.  This is a season of exposure.  Some of us need to return to what God has ordained.  Natural order has been abandoned.  Many are more accountable to an email inbox than to spouses and pastors.  We feel that reading a message board is ministry.  We allow Yahoo! Chat rooms to take the place of prayer.   Hmmm…  Fellowship is good, but there must be balance.  We must use this tool to glorify our Father, not to defy Him or His order.  Submission must return to the Body of Christ, and it must be done in God's order.  Women of God, YES, we must submit to our husbands.  YES, we must submit to the Church as God has ordained it.  NO, we cannot do this alone.  NO, we are not called out alone.  What good is your elevation if you have brought no one along?  Selah!

 

1Ti 5:8  But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

 

Heb 10:25  Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

 

Eph 4:11  And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

Eph 4:12  For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

Eph 4:13  Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

 

1Co 12:27  Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

1Co 12:28  And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.

By Prophetess Joy Yes, You Have the Power, but Resist the Temptation I am in prayer for the Body of Christ, particularly the leaders in this season.  There is a shift of urgency in my Spirit.  Literally, I can feel a changing of the guards.  The Lord has shown me that this season must be one of preparation and rest.  Even my Pastors have spoken about the "shift" they are feeling.  A period of testing is coming forth - one of tribulation and pestilence as we have not seen before.  We are about to enter a time when many will learn what it's REALLY like to have to depend on faith in our Father.   God has been showing me the trials of His leaders.  This is a season of CHALLENGE for many.  In the Body of Christ, there has been an atmosphere of criticism.  Unfortunately, the challenge is not coming from the world, but from others in the Church.  We are in a time where people have become too weak to engage in warfare with the enemy, so they choose to "show boat" their gifts by fighting against the brethren.  Ahhh!  God is saying, EXPOSURE.  Motives are being evaluated.  Integrity is being challenged.  God is preparing His people for true battle.   This is a word for those who are being challenged.  God said this is training ground.  It's so easy for us to want to prove ourselves, and even God.  Of course, we want others to believe the Father works through us and moves through us.  Yet, in this season, we must be so careful to move only when God says to move.  Sensitivity to the Holy Spirit and the voice of our Father is so important.  We must be careful not to allow our own motives to interfere with God's divine plan.   Mat 27:35 And having crucified him, they divided his garments, casting a lot, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken by the prophet, `They divided my garments to themselves, and over my vesture they cast a lot;' Mat 27:36 and sitting down, they were watching him there, Mat 27:37 and they put up over his head, his accusation written, `This is Jesus, the king of the Jews.' Mat 27:38 Then crucified with him are two robbers, one on the right hand, and one on the left, Mat 27:39 and those passing by were speaking evil of him, wagging their heads, Mat 27:40 and saying, `Thou that art throwing down the sanctuary, and in three days building it , save thyself; if Son thou art of God, come down from the cross.' Mat 27:41 And in like manner also the chief priests mocking, with the scribes and elders, said, Mat 27:42 `Others he saved; himself he is not able to save! If he be King of Israel, let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe him; Mat 27:43 he hath trusted on God, let Him now deliver him, if He wish him, because he said--Son of God I am;' Mat 27:44 with the same also the robbers, who were crucified with him, were reproaching him. The Word of God shows us that Jesus, the very Son of God, was challenged by His accusers as well.  Many who had once walked with Him now stood to judge and to talent.  The pressured Christ to "prove Himself" to them.  He was well capable of doing so.  He had the power and the authority.  However, to prove Himself would have canceled out the very will of God.   Persecution is coming upon God's people, and it will increase all the more.  Yet, we must be careful not to become obsessed with proving ourselves to others.  The authority of anointed leaders is being challenged like never before.  It has begun in the Church and will increase from the world.  Prophets are being challenged to prophecy.  Healers are being challenged to heal.  Teachers are being commanded to teach.  God is saying that His gifts were not designed under the command of man.  His power is not subject to the authority of the flesh.   Saints of God, as you are being challenged, resist the temptation to operate in the Spirit realm simply because flesh has challenged you!  Divination is spreading quickly, and exposure is coming.  You do have the power, but resist the temptation.  Do not yield your spirit to the flesh!  Rather, seek God for His will and await His instruction.  Though it is sometimes difficult to remember, we are not ordained to entertain men, but to do the work of the Lord.  Never has God been a circus leader or a magician.  To GOD be the glory!
