No God ..................................or Know God?


An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem Science has with God, The Almighty.


He asks one of his new students to stand and.....

Prof: So you believe in God?

Student: Absolutely, sir.


Prof: Is God good?

Student: Sure.




Prof: Is God all-powerful?

Student: Yes.


Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him.


Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn't. How is this God good then? Hmm? (Student is silent.)


Prof: You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fellow. Is God good?

Student: Yes.


Prof: Is Satan good ?

Student: No.


Prof: Where does Satan come from?

Student: From...God.. .


Prof: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?

Student: Yes.


Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything. Correct?

Student: Yes.


Prof: So who created evil?

(Student does not answer. )



Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don't they?

Student: Yes, sir.



Prof: So, who created them?

( Student has no answer.)



Prof: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son...Have you ever seen God?

Student: No, sir.



Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?

Student: No, sir.


Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?

Student: No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.



Prof: Yet you still believe in Him ?

Student: Yes.



Prof: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?

Student: Nothing. I only have my faith.



Prof: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.



Student: Professor, is there such a thing as heat?

Prof: Yes.



Student: And is there such a thing as cold?

Prof: Yes.



Student: No sir. There isn't.


(The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events .)



Student: Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don't have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat,


But we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold.


Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.



(There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre .)


Student: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?

Prof: Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?



Student: You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light....But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't.


If it were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?



Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?

Student: Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.

Prof: Flawed? Can you explain how?



Student: Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure.


Sir, science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one.


To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?


Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.

Student: Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?


(The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument is going.)



Student: Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavour, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?


(The class is in uproar .)


Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain?


(The class breaks out into laughter.)


Student: Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, sir.


With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?



(The room is silent . The professor stares at the student, his face unfathomable. )



Prof: I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.


Student: That is it sir... The link between man & god is FAITH .

That is all that keeps things moving & alive..................

GOD WANTS YOU TO PROSPER!
In addition to Deuteronomy 28:8 that I quoted in the e-mail, the Bible is filled with promise after promise concerning this subject that is obviously important to God.
Let me give you several more of God’s promises of prosperity:

• “I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.” —Psalm 37:25
• “Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in his commandments… Wealth and riches shall be in his house.” —Psalm 112:1, 3
• “A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.” —Proverbs 13:22
• “The tabernacle of the upright shall flourish.” —Proverbs 14:11
• “In the house of the righteous is much treasure.” —Proverbs 15:6
• “By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches, and honour, and life.” —Proverbs 22:4
• “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over.” —Luke 6:38
• “Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness.” —2 Corinthians 9:10
• “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” —Galatians 6:9
These promises are given specifically for us to remember to seek first “the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you” (Matthew 6:33).
God Is the Source of Prosperity
Promises are given throughout the Word of God, but we must understand that God is the Source. The Word of God tells us clearly in Deuteronomy 8:18: “But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth.”
In order for us to prosper, we must put the Lord first in our lives. We must put His interests ahead of ours. We must remember Him before we remember anything else.
He wants to be first in our lives, first in our homes, first in our work, first in our finances. As we place God first, all His blessings will be added to our lives. We must put Him above all else.
And as we live a life of obedience and a life of righteousness, we have the promises found throughout the Bible.
Why Does God Want You to Prosper?
God wants you to be used to build His kingdom, His house!
In Exodus 12:13, it was no accident that God gave the wealth of the Egyptians to the children of Israel. He wanted them to build His tabernacle in the wilderness.
Likewise, Jacob, on the way to Laban’s house, made a promise:
And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on, So that I come again to my father's house in peace; then shall the Lord be my God: And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God's house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee. (Genesis 28:20-22)
Jacob understood the truth that prosperity comes as we decide to build God’s house—His kingdom. This is why God blessed him.
Your Decision to Claim God’s Promises
Prosperity is the result of a decision we make to build God’s kingdom, His work. Only as we make that decision will God prosper us.
If we make a decision to build God’s kingdom, as Jacob did, the Lord will prosper us. But if our decisions center on building up ourselves and satisfying our lusts through greed, God will not bless us.
Only as we give with our eyes on the promises of God will we reap a hundredfold as Isaac did in Genesis 26:12-13: “Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him. And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great.”
The Bible tells us that Isaac sowed in a time of famine and reaped a hundredfold. It is because of his faith that he became great and went forward. Only those who sow in faith, believing God’s promises, will grow, go forward, and have plenty.
So give today, looking to the “author and finisher” of your faith (Hebrews 12:2), for He will never leave you or forsake you or fail you!
God Wants You to Prosper!
God desires to pour abundance upon your life, but He will only prosper you as you make a divine decision to build His kingdom—to tell the nations the Gospel message that Jesus saves! Jesus saves! JESUS SAVES!
Sow your seed today, believing His promise to you in Ecclesiastes 11:1: “Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days.”
Do not look at your circumstances.
Do not look at worldly conditions.
Keep your eyes on God’s promises given throughout His eternal Word.
Ecclesiastes 11:2 tells us: “Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth.” It is that kind of giving that will produce a mighty harvest and will deliver you from tomorrow’s troubles!
I have quoted a number of powerful assurances of financial abundance throughout this message to you.


Confess the Word as you expect your financial miracle. Claim these scriptures each day and make them a permanent part of your life.
When circumstances seem hopeless, read these precious promises aloud and see what happens!
Write them on your statements when you pay your bills.
Put a verse or two in the memo line of your mortgage payment check.
In other words, use them to witness to others as you make them a part of your life.
God has given these promises to you and your loved ones, and I pray that our Promises of Prosperity Magnet and Bible Marker will help you claim those powerful assurances.
I look forward to hearing from you today!
For souls,

(Benny Hinn )

woman was asked what she used to make her complexion so beautiful and her whole being so bright and attractive.


She answered:

"I use for my lips, truth

I use for my voice, kindness

I use for my ears, compassion

I use for my hands, charity

I use for my figure, uprightness

I use for my heart, love

I use for any who do not like me, prayer"


PLEASE HELP POOR PEOPLE WHO NEED YOUR HELP.
MAY GOD BLESS YOU MORE AND MORE.



JOHN 14:18 NIV
18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.

You are not facing life all alone -- no matter how you feel.

Jesus is with you. He promised to never forsake you.

Our enemy loves to make us think we have no help, that God does
not care, and we have no hope. But the devil is a liar.

"But why does God allow things to look so bleak? Why doesn't He
help me sooner?"

God desires faith and trust from us. Without testing times we
would have no opportunity to show our faith. Without obstacles
we would have nothing to overcome.

We must always remember that God is raising a family, preparing
us for eternity with Him. It can be a great error to judge
everything by "the bottom line" today.

We must trust our Father God, because only He really knows what
the "true bottom line" is. And we can trust Him, because He is
good and trustworthy.

SAY THIS: Thank you Father God that I am not facing life all
alone -- as an orphan. You are my Father and are taking good
care of me. I trust You -- for time and eternity.

"I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard from My
Father I have made known unto you."-- Joh_15:15.

I HAVE READ somewhere that when Michael Angelo was in the height of
his fame, a boy named Raphael--destined to be his worthy successor--
was introduced to him as a promising pupil. At first the lad was
employed in the simplest duties of the studio, cleaning brushes and
mixing paints, but as he developed the qualities of exactness,
punctuality, and sympathy, he became entrusted with increasing
responsibility, until the master made him his friend and confidant.
So we come to Christ, first, as redeemed from the slavery of Satan,
to be His servants, and He calls us His friends.
A friend will reveal himself. All the world may suppose that it
knows a famous man, but after all, if he calls me his friend, I
expect to get closer to him and hear from his own lips items of
confidential information. Thus it is with the Lord Jesus. He
manifests Himself to those who love Him, and keep His word, as He
does not to the world.
A friend will interest his friends in his undertakings. It is a joy
to Christ when those whom He loves are able to take a share in His
world-wide redemptive schemes. For us, of course, it is a high
honour, but it is as great a pleasure and delight to Him as it is
for some loving soul to have the pleasure of working with that other
twin-soul, to which it is attached. It is wonderful that Jesus is
glad to have us as His fellow-workers.
A friend will be interested in our failures and successes. Not
otherwise is it with our Lord. When He sees some peril menacing us,
does He not make the trial-hour one of special intercession? If we
fail, He meets us with the same tender affection, not alienated from
us, but only intensely sorry, ready to point out the cause of our
failure and to encourage us to try again. If we stand our ground, He
meets us as we come forth from the fight, glad for us, eager to
refresh us in our weariness, careful to heal any wound that we may
have received.
Such is the Friendship of Jesus. He is always the same, His love
never wanes, its manifestations are never remiss. Is it not
worthwhile to make every effort so to keep His commandments that our
entire abandonment to Him may induce His entire abandonment to us?

PRAYER
Heavenly Father, we pray that Jesus Christ may become dearer to us.
May we love Him as a personal Friend, and hide ourselves in the
hourly consciousness of His presence. May we have no taste or desire
for things which He would disapprove. Let His love constrain us not
to live unto ourselves, but to His glory. AMEN.

"Believe ye that I am able to do this?" (Matt. 9:28).

"Nothing is too hard for Jesus

No man can work like Him."

God deals with impossibilities. It is never too late for Him to do
so, when the impossible is brought to Him, in full faith, by the one in
whose life and circumstances the impossible must be accomplished if God
is to be glorified. If in our own life there have been rebellion,
unbelief, sin, and disaster, it is never too late for God to deal
triumphantly with these tragic facts if brought to Him in full
surrender and trust. It has often been said, and with truth, that
Christianity is the only religion that can deal with man's past. God
can "restore the years that the locust hath eaten" (Joel 2:25); and He
will do this when we put the whole situation and ourselves unreservedly
and believingly into His hands. Not because of what we are but because
of what He is. God forgives and heals and restores. He is "the God of
all grace." Let us praise Him and trust Him.

--Sunday School Times

"We have a God who delights in impossibilities." Nothing too hard for Me.

--Andrew Murray

(from Streams in the Desert, by Lettie Cowman)

God bless you,

The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.

 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,

       he leads me beside quiet waters,

 3 he restores my soul.

       He guides me in paths of righteousness

       for his name's sake.

 4 Even though I walk

       through the valley of the shadow of death, 

       I will fear no evil,

       for you are with me;

       your rod and your staff,

       they comfort me.

 5 You prepare a table before me

       in the presence of my enemies.

       You anoint my head with oil;

       my cup overflows.

 6 Surely goodness and love will follow me

       all the days of my life,

       and I will dwell in the house of the LORD 

       forever.

"Amen!    Praise and glory    and wisdom and thanks and honor    and power and strength    be to our God for ever and ever.    Amen!"

My dear friends we love you so very much. For a moment close your eyes, breathe into your heart, and take a few minutes to give thanks for all you are grateful for in your life. Wiggle your toes and be grateful for the movement. Breathe and be grateful for the intake of air. Focus on the chair you sit upon and be grateful for its support. Close your eyes and feel the love of your angels as they embrace you.

                        

My dear friends you always have choices, abundance, support, and love available no matter what your life circumstances. It is an illusion that you would ever be left alone, or become separate from the love and support of God.

                      

God works in strange and mysterious ways indeed and you are coming to a time here upon your planet earth in which it is increasingly important that you would trust in God's love for you, trust in his guidance as it appears through the subtle knowing and longings in your heart, and trust that all is well indeed in hearts that have faith in the very same. You will bear witness to great unrest in human hearts and yet dear ones, you can choose to be in peace. You will watch people become very polarized in their opinions, and yet you must choose to acknowledge all perspectives as worthy of consideration. Find the gold amidst the lead. Find the silver lining in the dark clouds. Find the spark of God in the eyes of one you have trouble gazing upon. It is in these moments of choosing to focus on what is good and true, that youw ill find God even more present in your life than ever before.

                    

God is always with you. Joy, and the feeling of heaven on earth is always available to you. You have to work harder at times to feel God's presence and search for the frequencies of heaven, and yet they are never gone. Look for the moments of upliftment. Seek out all things to be grateful for. Avoid slipping into judgement of self and others. In these labors of love you will give birth to the Christ consciousness in your own hearts and allow the love of God to flow through you in to the world.

 

                        

"God gave me a great treasure of immense and unntold worth,

And brought a touch of Heaven to my lifetime here on earth,

For He sent me someone wonderful, an angel from above,

When HE blessed me with the gift of you-

my friend, my joy, my love."
