The Existence of God

 Since the beginning of time, man has learned about the existence of God. It began in the Garden of Eden where Adam and Eve walked and talked with God, however when they sinned, they died spiritually and their closeness with God was severed. In Genesis 4:26 it reads “Seth also had a son, and he named him Enosh. At that time people began to call on the name of the LORD.” Seth was the third son of Adam and Eve, so it’s fair to say that not too long after mankind fell, we also called upon the Lord. 


From that time until now, mankind was closer to God then, but it’s a modern shift that the world is in the state it is in now, mainly unbelief, because even 30 years ago from now, mankind was closer to God. It is also true that in ancient Israel’s history, there have been generations that fell away and forgot God, but in the time of the prophets Israel was never left without a word from the Lord. Many generations have come and gone, but there have been remarkable generations all throughout history, even after the time of Christ, which we can say were godly generations. In the bible in Psalm 14:5 it says, “There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.” There have been generations throughout history where God manifested himself throughout that generation, unlike others. These are namely the generations of great saints in history, Old and New Testament saints.


If you lived in the generation of a saint, God was present in that generation, and you would notice that there would be a remarkable difference in how that generation lived, namely they lived with God. I believe we are currently living in a wicked generation, and God is not with this generation. Sure, the church exists, and the Holy Spirit lives in this world, but most of this current generation is defined by sin and godlessness, and this generation has forgotten God. Many in this generation may remember the previous generation, but for the most part, many have forgotten.


As history moves further and further away from the time of Jesus Christ, the world can become a more and more dark place, because the closer you are to the cross, even a thousand years away, the reality of Christ living here on planet Earth and dying here is more real. The further you move from this reality, humanity can forget that Jesus Christ actually was here. This leaves you in the predicament that you are in now, that of wickedness and unbelief. There are millions in this generation who question if Jesus Christ actually existed, they are not just questioning his claim to deity, but the fact that he actually existed. This proves my point, the further you move down history, if things aren’t passed on, you can have an entire generation who doesn’t believe in God anymore, or questions His reality. Whereas in previous generations, God lived in a real way with them. 


You can’t really prove the existence of God, but you can look to many generations who lived in relative peace and godliness, and sure enough God was with them. This is Mike.

    I agree completely. Evidence of God is seen in the earth. Just like a painting that was created by an artist or a building that was created by an architect, engineers and builders, our Earth and everything in it is evidence of a Creator, God.

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...
