The words promised for those who are not Christians: I will not try to demonstrate to you that God exists because nobody can ever demonstrate (show beyond any doubt) the fact that He is real. Although what I will share is based on the Bible, you will be able to recognize the same principles in logic, nature, daily living and your own experience. I believe that the Bible is the most trusted tool that we can use to understand the reality but I also believe that Bible is not the only tool. The same God, which tells us about Himself through the Bible, is speaking about Himself through nature, history, daily living, logic and our own experience.
Because I want to be honest with you all the way: I believe that the Bible is not only the most trusted tool that we can use to understand reality but the judge of the other tools. In other words, the Bible has the ultimate authority. All this being said I want to emphasize the fact that, although these principles are based on the Bible, we can see them at work in the other aspects of the reality. It will be a great help for us and useful for you if you will participate with identifying these principles in other sources than the Bible. So, you are more than welcome in our discussions!
A few more introductory words before we will start:
More than sharing with you, I would like so much to learn from you! The big picture is just … a big picture! It’s something that can hold so much more. It’s just a frame, a well organized library but without books: it needs to be filled (the imagery is not perfect). We need to learn together about the implications and applications of these principles in every aspect of reality. We need one another and, together, we need our dear Father!
All of us, Christians and non-Christians, are invited to take part in this journey! If our “eyes” will be open great things we will see and if our “hearts” will be open, great things we will experience! It will be a pleasure to have you with me on board and an honor to learn from you. I can hardly wait to read your comments and reactions being more than willing to integrate them in my daily life as long as they can be approved by the Bible!

Hi Dorin!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your posts. Thanks for including me!
I whole-heartedly second your comment that there is a joy to Christianity that the world cannot match. At times, things God tells us to do or not to do seem to be "harsh" and "unrealistic." When I follow His way (instead of what "looks" right from the world's perspective) I have always been blessed, and found it to be the best possible way.
A Biblical example of this is the story of Noah. (Genesis, chapters 6-9). From the perspective of everyone else alive at that time, the ark he was building was the heighth of stupidity. The idea that water would actually fall out of the sky was preposterous (See Genesis 2:6).
In the end, though, Noah was right and everyone else was wrong. As he heard the raindrops hitting the roof and sides of the ark, I'm quite sure he was not sorry he had followed God's way, even though it was totally out of line with all the "scientific" knowledge of his day.
The "scientists" of his day were far smarter than the "scientists" of our day, based on some of the inventions that have been unearthed in various archeological excavations. If they, with all their superior "wisdom" were wrong, is it "logical" to think that today's "science" (when it is out of harmony with God's word) is more accurate than theirs? I don't think so!
