To Believe or Not To Believe.

I refuse to accept the disobedience of man. How man can blatantly defy God yet in the same breath fault God for war, death and grief is beyond me. C.S. Lewis once said that while he was still an atheist he believed there was no God but simultaneously was infuriated that God did not exist.

I say to you today, to believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of Man you must believe in each and every one of Jesus’ claims. You must believe in His miracles and you must believe in His words, you must believe in His crucifixion and you must believe in His resurrection. To carry out anything different is to attempt to change the written record of the life of Jesus Christ. To say “I believe Jesus died on the cross but I do not believe He walked on water” is to change the very character of Jesus Christ. The Christ that raises the dead is the same Christ that walks on water, these acts are in His genuine framework. The Christ that heals the sick is the exact Christ who gives sight to the blind; all acts of Christ are in His authentic structure, they are all synonymous. Each and every one of Jesus Christ’s acts collectively is part of the very fabric of His make up. I say you can not have one without the other. All acts of Jesus are part of the very being of Jesus. To not believe in one single claim or act of the Messiah is to remove the very heartbeat which imparts Him life. To not accept Him for all and everything He truly encompasses is to deny His very existence therefore wholly contradicting your representation of a Christian.

To believe the bible to have errors is to attempt to absolutely and completely obliterate all authority in God himself. For the scripture you may believe to have errors is the very same scripture which reads in 2Pe 1:20 “But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation, for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.” Some men want to employ science to explain what has no scientific conditions. My faith is spiritual not scientific. God does not need to be proven or defended. Martin Luther was once asked if he would defend the Bible, he so robustly responded, “Defend the Bible? I would as soon defend a lion.” You see our God is EL SHADDAI, God Almighty; he is ELOHIM God the Creator, mighty and strong. You can investigate God but you can not question God, you can wrestle with God but you can not conquer God. It would behoove some men to recognize that the creation can NEVER question the creator since your mind could not comprehend the answer anyway… "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways," declares the LORD. Isa 55:8.
