Fallicy #1, There is no God.

Please let me revisit one of the post modern concepts that God doesn't exist. For this fallacy to be true there would be no use for death. In the post modern world the alternative to no God is that I am God and if I am God I do not need to die. This would be true if there was no death, no cessation of life after our bodies expired but that they would simply be renewed and continue living forever. This would not prove the non existence of God but would make God pantheistic, in other words we are God and God is us.

The alternative to this is that we do expire, that there is a God and that God is not a romantic concept but a self existing God that requires nothing from human being other than their worship and adoration, among other things. Christianity is the answer to a no God question. All pantheism or panenthism requires is that we realize that we are divine but it doesn't solve the reality of death. If you were to view your own funeral, you would either not be human, or you have died and have proven the existence of God. There is a possibility that you are really dreaming or hallucinating, therefore have not proven anything. God does not demand that we prove we are human, God does not prove that there are angels, nor does He ask us to prove the existence of heaven, what he requires of us, is not fully made known in our human reasoning but an act of faith that Jesus died, rose from the dead, and confession that He is Lord. Repentance and faith in the cross.

They said it would take a moron to die on the cross, claim to be God and die for the sin of the human race, and a greater moron to believe that. But this is precisely the way that God has demonstrated his love for us and as foolish it seems to us morons, we need to believe this in order to be saved. Heaven is on the threshold of earth or should I say earth is on the threshold of heaven and the creator if there is one wants us to live forever in the presence and Glory of the Father. We do not have to die to go to heaven but we need to believe and repent of our sin if we will live there someday.

Catholic Identity.

I was born into the Catholic Church and was baptized as an infant, I had my first communion and reconciliation as a child, and was confirmed as a teenager. Although I was never devout, I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Saviour when I was 21 through an evangelical Christian radio ministry, which in turn gave new life to my Catholic faith. Although I remained a Catholic, I identified as a born again Christian. It wasn’t until much later in my life that I learned the difference between the two denominations and what they taught about being born again. Regardless, there was a significant change in my life back then, which continues to this day. Being Catholic is much like an identity to me and I remember growing up under the papacy of St. Pope John Paul II. The culture I grew up in was largely affected by his papacy, and the way the culture viewed the church was significantly different from the way the current culture views it. Growing up, the pope didn’t try to be rele...

Age of Brokenness.

We are living in an age of brokenness, no matter what age you are, you probably have been touched with relationships falling apart, which causes more and more people to live in isolation. In this generation there is less of an incentive to heal and reconcile relationships, but that doesn’t excuse the amount of people who are broken. Why people don’t seem to be motivated to heal relationships is because our beliefs about faith and God have changed, really giving us less of an incentive to do what our religion says. If I act from my personal beliefs, but the person that I am responding to has abandoned religious beliefs, than the response to my wanting things to be better can be misinterpreted and rejected then by someone else. Generally when a society has expectations about broken relationships, loneliness and isolation, and the beliefs are generally accepted, society becomes a more compassionate society, because all value the same things. When religious values are undermined and ...

The Biblical Meaning of “Life in the Spirit.”

“Life in the Spirit” is an example that the Apostle Paul gives in the book of Romans starting in chapter 5 and going through to chapter 8. He begins by telling us we are justified by faith (5:1), and have gained access by faith into the grace of God (5:2). We have been delivered from God’s wrath (5:9) and we have been reconciled to God through the death of His Son (5:10). He goes on to explain that through Adam all die (5:12), and that the free Gift of God brings justification and righteousness to the believing sinner (5:15-17). Through our conversion we are baptized into Christ and into his death, which frees us from the law and makes us dead to sin (6:2-4). He explains that just as Christ was raised from the dead, we are given new life in Christ (6:4). Our old unregenerate self was crucified with Christ so that our body of sin might be done away with (6:5-6). Because we have died to sin, we now submit ourselves to God being that we are now under grace, not the law (6:8-1...
