Answers to Skeptics Part I: There is a God
Will Durant on Jesus
And the formula “Time plus nothing equals everything,” makes no sense whatsoever.
I don’t think anyone could have made it clearer then you just did. I needed to read this article more then anything. I thank God that I found my answer.
Great insight. Well delivered.
The most compelling argument to me for a Divine Creator is the principle of irreducible complexity. But even this won’t convince folks who hate the thought of being accountable to a Divine Person. I have also found that once you do grasp on to the belief in God with childlike faith, He will reveal Himself to you, so that you know your faith is grounded in someone real.
Sally: Why don’t you roll out that argument.
Good to have you back, Frank!
This post/article is a succinct gem of a masterpiece in the making.
Thanks Frank, I really enjoyed this article because there are so many people that blame God for all the evil in this world and not blaming the one who is causing all the evil, satan. That was a good one where you ask “If you were God how would you do away with all the evil?” Answer snap your finger. Man you are right, if that happened, none of us would be here. Thanks again brother.

I loved this piece. I would also add the test of time to God’s proof of existence. Or at least man’s version of time. Rama, Re, Zeus, Odin and on and on are past “gods” of this world and beyond. Only God has withstood the attacks against His existence. While God may hide Himself he did put Himself on earth through His son Jesus. The time will come when all will believe.
Great Post Frank! I know that my Redeemer lives!!!
Thank you! That was very encouraging to me at a point when I needed to be reminded of God’s goodness, His perfection, and His choice to love us in spite of our unrighteousness.
