How can we know anything about anything

To try to explain truth to him who loves it not is but to give him more plentiful material for misinterpretation. George Macdonald

Do we have to make a choice between science and the Bible?

NO!

That is NOT where the problem is, but that is what everyone seems to want to talk about.

Take science as an example. How can we know anything about the created material world around us?

How can we know anything from what we can see using natural sciences?

We all see the same things in the material world, but we don't come to the same answers.

Why is that?

How can we know anything about the Bible and what it teaches? Every person believes different things about the Bible and how it should be read.

Why is that?

Same scientific facts. Different answers.

Same Bible. Different answers.

Why is that?

The true question is this: How do we come to our answers that we get from what we can see through science or what we can read in the Bible?

How do we think about what we see using science or what we read in the Bible?

How do we analyze what we have seen and read?

How do we interpret what we have seen and read?

We use logic, but logic always has a foundation. Jesus talked about building on the Rock. That Rock is Jesus Christ. He is the true foundation. There are also the false foundations of the ungodly.

An example might help.

Question: Why do you believe in evolution?

Answer: Because my science teacher told me that evolution is scientific fact.

Question: Why do you believe your science teacher?

Answer: because he agrees with the textbook he assigned us to read.

Now, we have asked, "Why?" twice.

If we continued to ask, "Why?" we would come down to the foundation of this person's thoughts.

When we get down to the foundations, there are no more questions that can be answered. So where to the foundations come from?

There are three possibilities.

things that we make up, pulled from the air
demonic lies
divine revelation

Question: Why do you believe in creation?

Answer: Because God revealed this to me. He spoke to me through the Bible and gave me His faith so that I could believe Him.

See how quickly we got to the foundation. This is a belief that has a foundation that is solid and that cannot be moved.

In reality, the things that we make up, that are pulled from the air, are actually from demons and all the lies of demons spring from the prince of demons, Satan. So these are one and the same.

Divine revelation comes from the Almighty, Creator, God, Jesus Christ. So there are only two choices, but how do we know there are only two choices? Because God has revealed this truth to us.

The question then is how do we tell the difference between the revelation that comes from God and the lies of Satan?

The answer is that everyone who sincerely wants to do the will of God will know.

Jesus said, "If you really want to obey God, you will know if what I teach comes from God or from me"

The rejection of the revelation that comes from God is not an intellectual problem. It is a moral problem.

Jesus said, "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you: For everyone who asks receives; and he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks it shall be opened." *

Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to those who ask him? Matthew 7:7-11 *

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. You can set the truth before someone, but you can't make anyone believe those things that they don't want to submit to. They have to want to obey God.

How frequently it is brought to our attention that nothing good can be done if the will is wrong! Reason alone fails to justify itself. Richard M. Weaver

Jesus said, "You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free" (John 8:32)

"If we are not prepared to buy the truth at the cost of our own humbling we shall not receive it"

Lies appear to have no price upon them. They seem cheap and they abound everywhere. But for the truth there is always an obvious price to pay.

"[God] has set a day when He will judge all the world's people with fairness. And He has chosen the man Jesus to do the judging for Him. God has given proof of this to all of us by raising Jesus from death" (Acts 17:31).

"There is a judge for the one who rejects Me [Jesus] and does not accept My words; that very word which I spoke will condemn him at the last day" (John 12:48)

That also stands for every person who speaks the utterances of Jesus. When we hear them, we hear Jesus Christ, and we either accept or reject. Every person who follows Jesus Christ is commanded to only speak His utterances and not their own.

"When we love others, we know that we belong to the truth, and we feel at ease in the presence of God" (1 John 3:19)

Ravi Zacharias did two open forums in a university. On the second night, one man told him that he had brought two Atheists in the night before who said that the arguments presented were so strong that they could not contend with them, but they were going to remain Atheists because that is what they prefer to be true.

In another case of just listening to an unbeliever and drawing out his reasoning, the unbeliever finally came to his foundations.

They turned out to be assumptions that were pulled from the air. When asked why he believed his basic assumption, the unbeliever looked startled and blurted out, "I guess I'm making the whole thing up." It was quite a revelation to him since he hadn't even known that he had any assumptions. However, he decided to remain an Atheist because he didn't want God to rule over him.

Selective Enforcement, Coercion, and Fascism

It is interesting how selective enforcement can be. The tax code is a perfect example. People with liberal politics like Geithner, Rangel, Daschle don't suffer any hardship for evading taxes. "There are "working people" rotting in prison at this very moment for the same thing that is being overlooked so Geithner and Daschle can be promoted to high government office. Is this "fair"? Is this "change"? Is this surprising in the least?" (Read more)

If there is a person who continually makes evolutionists look stupid in debates and that person is advised by his accountants to do his books in a way that is not fully compliant with the way, than that person goes to jail for a long, long time.

In a slew of less-than-truthful attacks on Dr. Kent Hovind (Park Manager and Head of Creation Science Evangelism), and Dinosaur Adventure Land facilities, Greg Martinez clearly demonstrated the levels at which secular media and their journalists are willing to stoop in order to paint an invalid picture of an honest operation. This article will deal with the Nov-Dec (2004) issue of Skeptical Inquirer. (Read more about this)

Starting on page 47 of this issue, Greg Martinez begins his diatribe against Dinosaur Adventure Land by painting a ghetto picture environment by claiming that DAL is surrounded by "boarded-up buildings and abandoned strip malls." Perhaps our friendly "Skeptics" are skeptical of natural forces, such as Hurricane Ivan. Let's not forget that Pensacola, Florida endured many hours of hurricane winds exceeding 100mph. It's true; many people evacuated the area and boarded up their homes to protect their belongings from the coming calamite. However, today Pensacola is back up and functioning at almost 100% now that many weeks of hard work have been invested into the destruction zone. I suppose it's not important for Mr. Martinez to be completely honest when slandering Christians and their facilities.

When this tactic did not work, within a short time, something was wrong was found with Kent Hovind's bookkeeping. He had to go to jail for a long, long time. An ungodly politician might have gotten his hands slapped. A normal citizen might have gotten a very short sentence. The law is flexible and can be used to punish oponents.

The law is not enforced equally. The United States has powerful political forces in it that are trying to convert it into a Secular Humanist nation, and they have largely succeeded in terms of power and money. The Atheists get tons of grant money from your tax dollars to fund projects such as Secular Humanist universities, propagation of the "gospel" of Evolutionism, Feminism, Socialism, Hedonism, Anti-Family, and many other Atheist doctrines.

Some Christians have distanced themselves from Kent Hovind as a result of his conviction. The Christian army may be the only army in the world that shoots their wounded. (^;

It is interesting that Ken Ham's Creation Museum and the building of the actual-size Noah's Ark has been attacked. Every trick in the book has been used by the Atheists. They are very zealous. And every lie imaginable has been told. Keep in mind that, for an Atheist, a lie is not an abomination. They are supposed to be ungodly. They are Atheists. There was an attempt to use the tax code to eliminate The Holy Land Experience as well, but that legal battle was won. When Baker was arrested for faulty accounting, what would have been a mild repremand for anyone else became a major prison term. This is the definition of Fascism.
