Jesus said " I will never leave you or forsake you." God is ever faithful to His Word. Some folks who would be hard pressed to prove their own existence philosophically, using the rules of logic, seem to me, Hell-bent on disproving God's existence. I have all the proof I need. He utterly changed my life in 1967. Rather He GAVE me life in 1967! True to His promise He gave me His Holy Spirit Who lives in my soul, at my request I might add. I can say with the Apostle Paul "For I know in Whom I have believed and I am persuaded the He is able to keep that (i.e. my soul) which I have committed unto Him against that day ( of judgement)." II Timothy 1:12 Parentheticals mine.

God offers no proof which must pass the judgement of Man. God is not judged of Man. If that were so only people of high intellect would be saved. God makes salvation available to all so that even a child or an adult of limited understanding can come to Him. All that it takes is faith and the proof is by the indwelling of His Holy Spirit. If that offends you or your sense of, what? rationality? Then so be it. I didn't make up the rules!

Mary Shelly grappled with this assault on human reason in her classic novel "Frankenstein" in which the imperfect creation confronts his imperfect creator. Same theme in the classic movie "Blade Runner" which again was based upon Philip K. Dick's short story "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" (Nice hidden redundancy in that title). But the Scripture asks the question "...O Man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to Him that formed (it), 'Why hast thou made me thus?'" Romans 9:20. God, being God, is unassailable.

We all have opinions. Some are just that, opinions, some considered, some otherwise and that is our right as free human beings. Even the not-so-free have opinions even though they are suppressed. I have respect for God's opinion as expressed in His Scripture, the Holy Bible. That's my right. You may disagree with me and you may disagree with the Scriptures, in whole or in part. That too, is your right. You have the right to be wrong, as do I. Jesus said "For the Son of man ( i.e. Jesus) is come to save that which was lost." If you are not lost, well, don't worry about it.

That last sounds kind of confrontive but it's not. I was making a statement I felt would forestall endless debate which is currently going on in a couple of other threads. This is a statement of belief. Of course, comment if you like. And know that Jesus is much more loving and kind than I am, though I AM trying to be. He invites all to come to Him and gives His assurance that He will reject no one who does come to Him.
