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.

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.

Something to consider

Something to consider

Job looked up into the heavens somewhere around the tenth century BC and noted,
“He spreads out the northern skies over empty space; he suspends the earth over nothing.” 
                           Job 26:7
Thousands of years later the crew of Apollo 17 took the picture above proving Job was right.
Someone has said,
“The Earth is if you will a self sufficient organic extremely complex spacecraft. It is orbiting the sun at 250km/second. The sun is moving around the centre of the universe at 660km/second. All of this including its exact positioning in the universe make it possible for life to exist as we know it.” 
That to me speaks to the fact there is a creator behind everything.
The book of Genesis states,

In the beginning God created

 the heavens and the earth.” 

                             Genesis 1:1

The Psalmist writes,

“The heavens declare the glory of God; 

the skies proclaim the work of his hands.” 

                                            Psalm 19:1.

Everything from the smallest subatomic particle to the largest galaxy has its place in the Universe so that life can exist on this planet.
Scientist tell us that just a little closer to the sun or a little further away and life would not exist as we know it.
Someone once asked me if I believed if there is life on other planets. I replied I don’t know. However even if there were it would not affect my belief in God.
I believe God exists it’s that simple. If I am wrong I have nothing to fear. I have simply led a good life by following Him.
If on the other hand I am right those who do not believe in God have much to fear.
What do you believe?

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.

God is.

The Psalmist wrote,

“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. 

“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 believe there is a God who created the universe and everything in it. I believe the psalmist who said the heavens declare the glory of the Lord.
I cannot believe the universe simply assembled itself randomly.
George Washington Carver said,
“I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station, through which God speaks to us every hour, if we will only tune in.” George Washington Carver.
Above I have posted three photographs one was taken by the Hubble Telescope of the Eagle Nebula. There is a microscopic look at the red blood cell the most common cell in the human body. Then there a microscopic view of a potato stoma. All are connected.
Mathematics is showing that there is a formula for everything in creation. We may not have all of them yet but they are working on it. I believe if science is done right they will find those formulas and even one linking all of them.
I know some say our world simply evolved from the big bang. It’s possible, but I believe we will one day find that it was God that created the big bang, setting in motion processes that has resulted in the perfect environment for life as we know it. Be it in six days or billions of years, it makes no difference God created the heavens and the earth.
I believe the Psalmist cry  “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.”
I believe the writer of Genesis who said,
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” Genesis 1:1.
My question to you is, Do you?
Please think about it. 

I Believe

I Believe
C. S. Lewis wrote,
“I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.” C. S. Lewis.
As I write this I’m sitting outside on a warm spring day in my back yard. Around me the trees are sprouting their greenery and flowers. From every point in my yard I can hear birds singing. As I sit here I am reminded of what
Ben Zion Bokser wrote, he said,
“I have not seen the robin but I know he is there because I heard him singing through my window from the tree-top outside.
I have not seen God.  But I have looked at my child’s eyes, and have been overwhelmed by the miracle of unfolding life.
I have watched the trees bedeck themselves with new garbs of green in the spring, and have been stirred by the miracle of continual rebirth.
I have looked at the stars, and have been overcome by the miracle of the grandeur and majesty of the universe.
I know that God exists, because I have heard the song of His presence from all the tree-tops of creation.” Ben Zion Bokser.
I know some would look around my yard and say it all evolved as a result of the big bang and pure chance. I cannot believe that.
If I were to look at the leaf of a tree through a powerful microscope I see order and purpose. Everything that is occurring in that tree leaf is there for a reason. Everything that is happening in nature has a purpose. That purpose to sustain life as we know it. Science tell us that just minor variations in the way the world is set up. Just minor deviations in the positioning of the planet in space and life as we know it would not exist.
This perfection in the way the world is made up tells me there is a God.
The Psalmist wrote,
“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands."Psalm 9:1.
I believe that. I believe the Bible when it states,
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” Genesis 1:1.
It matters little to me whether God made the earth in six days or allowed billions of years to pass. He is an almighty God and could have done it either way.
I also believe the words of the Apostle John who wrote,
“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.
I believe God loved man whom he created so much that upon seeing him turn away from His ideal He entered the world in the form of His One and Only Son Jesus to point us to heaven.
The writer of Hebrews tells us,
“In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,  but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe.  
The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.” Hebrews 1:1-3.
The writer of Hebrews making it clear that belief in God requires an act of faith saying,
“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.” Hebrews 11:1
“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.
The bottom line however is neither I or any Christian can forced you to believe in Christ or believe in God.
I pray however that you the reader will take time to read the New Testament at the very least for yourself and not rely on me or anyone says about Jesus and God.
Read it for yourself. Pray and ask God to show you His you just how real He truly is.
Please think about it.
