Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior

[mikewabrown @MikewaBrown]

One of the great beauties of The Bible is that understanding it is not confined only to the wise. It’s actually the opposite:

“But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.”

I know people with serious learning disabilities who understand Christianity. God made this accessible to them, as well.

The “sun rising” being obvious is what makes this quote work imo!

That’s how clearly obvious it is that the earth has been created, once you see it. God’s existence is as obvious as the sun rising - believing in Jesus is harder, imo. Which is why Jesus said:

“Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

Existence of God = self explanatory. Jesus being The Way = stumbling block to many.

Bro I beg you, please read the book of Philippians(Paul wrote while imprisoned for the Gospel.)

I don’t think you can argue that Paul wasn’t sincere in his faith. I understand this presents a problem for you because of how he came to believe. But all signs point to Him being legit.

@Robbservations2 Actually, super interestingly, I think there are a ton examples of people claiming to see visions, seeing things after they died for an hour, things like that!

Was told once of a nurse who said it was impossible to watch people on their deathbed and not believe in something.

@rmhoffmanauthor @darwintojesus Ehh idk, I think there’s a pretty standard Christian worldview. Of course there’s different chapters of belief within Christian circles, but their general outlook remains the same a lot of the times

[mikewabrown @MikewaBrown]

@lonli4y @darwintojesus That’s a good question - interestingly in The Scriptures Jesus very much seems to relate having miracles done for us with our measure of faith.

When Jesus went to His hometown in Mark 5 and Matthew 13 he didn’t do miracles there due to their lack of faith

@l_leipajuusto @darwintojesus Why say that about someone though? Dehumanization is extremely dangerous.

[mikewabrown @MikewaBrown]

@CaptainMienshao @darwintojesus I actually completely agree with the not trusting humans thing. Humans are wrong all the time. Imo if you ask God to lead you to truth, He will.

[mikewabrown @MikewaBrown]

@l_leipajuusto @darwintojesus Woah woah woah let’s take it easy here!

[mikewabrown @MikewaBrown]

@DigaHernandez Amen!

@revivalistross Bro that’s insane - where was she? On the bleachers? Glory to God above all for The Light that He has given us

“Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you.’ So we can confidently say, ‘The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?’” —Hebrews 13:5–6

You cannot look at this and think God does not exist

[Blondelady2024 @arva61138]

This is probably the best answer I've ever heard to the question, "Why did God create evil?"

A professor at the university asked his students the following question:

“Everything that exists was created by God?”
One student bravely answered:
“Yes, it was created by God.”

The professor asked :
“If God created everything, then God created evil, since it exists. And according to the principle that our deeds define ourselves, then God is evil.”

The student became silent after hearing such an answer. The professor was very pleased with himself. He boasted to students for proving once again that faith in God is a myth.

Another student raised his hand and said:
“Can I ask you a question, professor?”
"Of course," replied the professor.

“Professor, is cold a thing?”
“What kind of question is this? Of course it exists. Have you ever been cold?”
Students laughed at the young man's question.

The young man answered:
“Actually, sir, cold doesn't exist. According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is actually the absence of heat. A person or object can be studied on whether it has or transmits energy.
Absolute zero (-460 degrees Fahrenheit) is a complete absence of heat. All matter becomes inert and unable to react at this temperature. Cold does not exist. We created this word to describe what we feel in the absence of heat.”

The student continued:
“Professor, does darkness exist?”
“Of course it exists.” said the professor.
“You're wrong again, sir. Darkness also does not exist. Darkness is actually the absence of light. We can study the light but not the darkness. We can use Newton's prism to spread white light across multiple colors and explore the different wavelengths of each color. You can't measure darkness. A simple ray of light can break into the world of darkness and illuminate it. How can you tell how dark a certain space is? You measure how much light is presented. Isn't it so? Darkness is a term man uses to describe what happens in the absence of light.”

In the end, the young man asked the professor:
“Sir, does evil exist?”
This time it was uncertain, the professor answered:
“Of course, as I said before. We see him every day. Cruelty, numerous crimes and violence throughout the world. These examples are nothing but a manifestation of evil.”

To this, the student answered:
“Evil does not exist, sir, or at least it does not exist for itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is like darkness and cold—a man-made word to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is not faith or love, which exist as light and warmth. Evil is the result of the absence of Divine love in the human heart. It’s the kind of cold that comes when there is no heat, or the kind of darkness that comes when there’s no light.”

Geremi was born into a Christian family in a town in central Mali, where today Islamists terrorize the population. Now, distributing Bibles is Geremi’s passion. Seeing how one Bible brought his wife’s Muslim family to Christ motivated him to help others get Bibles.

[Trad West @trad_west_]

Muslims across the Middle East and beyond are reporting dreams of a man in white, surrounded by light, telling them their sins are forgiven.

A 16-year study by Fuller Seminary found that 27% of Muslim converts to Christianity reported dreams or visions of Jesus before converting. In countries like Iran, that number may be as high as 40%.

God is moving in places we cannot reach. He is walking into dreams.

Even in the darkest places, Jesus is still calling His sheep.

@NeonAutomata @HustleBitch_ No prob! God bless you!

[Adam | Faithful Messenger @Adam_FaithfulM]

This is Shahbaz Bhatti.

In 2011, he was assassinated in Pakistan for defending Christians and opposing the country’s blasphemy laws.

He knew the threats were real.

In a recorded message before his death, he said he was ready to die for Jesus Christ.

He refused to be silent.
He refused to abandon his faith.
Gunmen ambushed his car in Islamabad.

He died with a Bible in his hand.

He could have chosen safety.

He chose Christ.
