Part 1 - The Doorway of Proving what we hope for :The Faith of God!

Rom 10:17

 

 "So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."

True faith comes from God, therefore it is empowered by the Words of God as YOU speak them in confession before God. As we learned earlier the Evidence we see in creation about God is ONLY REVEALED through the Faith that God gives you at the New Birth, it contains within it the PROVING of the evidence you now do not see. 

 

Beneath the SEEN WORLD is an UNSEEN WORLD where the the physical realm's evidences are proven by the spiritual realm to be real, all of science is the outward evidence of the spiritual truth that PROVES it true, no theory of Man that cannot be proven by its counterpart in God's realm is true. 

 

He FRAMED the worlds with spiritual substance from his mouth, so the universe is FIRST spiritual structure then physical manifestation. It is its spiritual structure that HOLDS it together, keeping it from flying apart!

 

Heb 11:1  

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. "

Heb 11:3  

"Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear."

Heb 12:2  

"Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God."

Always remember that there are TWO kinds of faith, one faith is natural every day belief in what we do, sitting in a chair, walking down the street, natural faith is an assumption that what is will be, BUT God's pure Faith goes one step further, his faith presents absolute proof OF WHAT HE ASKS YOU TO DO.

Real faith, present tense (Now) faith from God provides proof that the evidences we do see in the physical realm are real and will come forth as promised. God never says what his faith cannot produce therefore his promises in Christ are YES and Amen!

 Jas 2:26  

"For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. "

God's faith just like natural faith REQUIRES an action to produce results, no matter how much faith we think we have, if we NEVER ACT UPON his instructions then no results will happen, like planting a garden, if you keep the seed in your pocket and never put it in the ground it cannot grow!

2Pe 1:5  

"And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;.."

God requires us to know things, his faith in us is not a blind belief, like mans religion is, but one of PURITY and KNOWLEDGE the proof manifest through our actions. We are a LIVING EPISTLE written in the heart, known and read by all men because we act like he acted while he was here, that's what Christlike means. 

The Church has FAILED miserably before the world, we act like other men who copied other men instead of being HIS written word in our hearts, revealing the proof of God in the world!

1Jn 5:4  

"For whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world: and this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith. "

Rev 14:12  

"Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus."

Gods Faith doesn't work UNDER WAVERING, DOUBTFUL CONDITIONS, just think about this for a second, if you had kids that WAVERED and DOUBTED every thing you told them. Would your words mean anything to them? Would your presence matter to them? 

When you have confidence in someone's word to you, you never doubt the outcome because you possess the proof internally, you trust emphatically that what they say is what will happen because you have experienced them personally. The longer you experience God's word and act upon it, the deeper the proof becomes, depth in God is revealed as your faith grows!

Psa 42:7  

 

"Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me. "

Joh 1:1  

 

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. "

Joh 1:14  

"And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth."

Because we are dealing with not just a part of God but with God himself being planted in our recreated Human spirit, Faith is more than a belief but the result of belief, the proof, the evidence of Hopes and dreams, the very thing that holds every ATOM in the universe together resides in your heart waiting for you to act upon what God says.

This does not seem to be dealing with Apologetic issues but I assure you that these teachings are the very foundation of every thing we believe. 

If you do not understand what true faith is you cannot PROVE to yourself or anyone else that God is real if he's not real to you first; that is just logical! The Atheist and the Agnostic are looking at a spiritual issue from the BACKWARD position, wanting proof that can ONLY come through personal experience, then turning around and refusing to act upon it to gain the proof. 

It is they who are trapped in a "God Box" never being able to leave the confusion of wanting proof of God and not able to act on it to get the proof they seek! It goes against everything in them to OBEY BEFORE RECEIVING THE PROOF but that is how God made FAITH to work, because in doing it that way it filters out the wavering and doubt our human condition is cursed with. SIMPLE OBEDIENCE to God, NOT A CHURCH, NOT A MAN-MADE IDEA, BUT TO GOD ALONE releases the proof you seek, but you must first do the required action.....SALVATION!

Missing Links: Still Missing and ALWAYS WILL BE!

 "Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call to her tribunal every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blindfolded fear."
Thomas Jefferson

'Missing Links', what are missing links and how does it affect Evolutionary thinking? Why do evolutionist's need to find them in the first place?

There are 'missing Links' in our thinking from all sides of the Natural selection problem, but because of Pride and an inability to SEE facts for what they really are, we accept the lie as is.

If we thought the way we do on this on ALL things, the human Race would all be extinct by now. Good Logic and Common Sense are in very short supply when it comes to the VAST evidence of Creation. Boasting and Pride in our own selfish behavior is in Abundance.

Is this true Logic in action?

Is this Honest intellecual behavior?

Missing Link:

  "A theoretical primate postulated to bridge the evolutionary gap between the anthropoid apes and humans. Something lacking that is needed to complete a series."

If evolution is the truth beyond a doubt, what does the link add to it? If they FINALLY found that one link between modern man and ape man would it matter?

Archaeoraptor Liaoningensis 

"Archaeoraptor" was unveiled at a press conference held by National Geographic magazine in October 1999. At the same press conference, plans were announced to return the fossil to Chinese authorities, as it was illegally exported. 

In November 1999 National Geographic featured the fossil in an article written by art editor Christopher Sloan. The article in general discussed feathered dinosaurs and the origin of birds. 

It claimed the fossil was "a missing link between terrestrial dinosaurs and birds that could actually fly" and informally referred to it as "Archaeoraptor liaoningensis", announcing it would later be formally named as such. This name means "ancient robber of Liaoning".^[5] This drew immediate criticism from Storrs L. Olson, Curator of Birds at the National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. Writing in Backbone, the newsletter of his museum, he denounced the publication of a scientific name in a popular journal, without peer review, as a "nightmare".^[6]

On February 3, 2000, National Geographic issued a press release stating that the fossil could be a composite, and that an internal investigation had begun. 

In that same month Bill Allen, National Geographic editor, told Nature that he was "furious" to learn that the fossil might have been faked. In the March issue, in the forum section, a letter from Dr. Xu Xing pointed out that the tail section probably did not match the upper body. In October 2000 National Geographic published the results of their investigation, in an article written by investigative journalist Lewis M. Simmons. They concluded that the fossil was a composite and that virtually everyone involved in the project had made some mistakes.^[7]

This is common with every so-called Missing Link that has been found so far. They are so desperate to find proof that great mistakes are made on a regular basis. 

Dishonest handling of evidence, and ignoring of creationist evidence that better fits the problem is not logical and further creates a divide between real science and Faith.

 

 

 The Wall Street Journal reports that scientists believe that the almost mythical missing link has been found. 

The missing link is supposed to prove that Darwin’s theory of evolution is correct, I mean really they've had over 100 years to find just ONE of Millions of Fossils.

 Who's your Momma?

In what could prove to be a landmark discovery, a leading paleontologist said scientists have dug up the 47 million-year-old fossil of an ancient primate whose features suggest it could be the common ancestor of all later monkeys, apes and humans.

Anthropologists have long believed that humans evolved from ancient ape-like ancestors. Some 50 million years ago, two ape-like groups walked the Earth. One is known as the tarsidae, a precursor of the tarsier, a tiny, large-eyed creature that lives in Asia. Another group is known as the adapidae, a precursor of today’s lemurs in Madagascar.

Based on previously limited fossil evidence, one big debate had been whether the tarsidae or adapidae group gave rise to monkeys, apes and humans. The latest discovery bolsters the less common position that our ancient ape-like ancestor was an adapid, the believed precursor of lemurs. Evolution has CONSTANT CHANGES to coincide with new finds, that is how science works, BUT why make such emphatic statements of certainty about a theory that like the waves of the sea is in constant flux?

In real science your theory should be made more solid with every find, but with evolutionary theory it seems to be made more fluid with every new find and idea added to it! With every new find in science today, Creation Research is solidified as pure Science the more we find out about just how complex our Earth and universe are. This cannot be ignored forever because at some point Creation will stop being theory and become like gravity, ignore it and you'll fall flat.

This find will be found another fake or misread just as the others, as their record proves only one thing, dishonest dealings in science studies! Creation has a case, A GREAT CASE, but we must be heard before that matters. Those who know the truth are deliberate in their SILENCING of our side of the debate with childish school yard behavior.

 

They find a Monkey bone, its dated by faulty dating methods and because all Monkeys are necessarily related and by extension because they think man is related to monkeys thereby this monkey is our ancestor, what kind of proof is that, it sounds like 'Circular Reasoning' to me! 

 

 

So why is it that Evolutionist's cannot call a leap in logic exactly what it is - FAITH..... They are trying to PLAY connect the dots without really having the complete underlying scientific support for doing so, if they had their ducks in row to start with, these so-called new discoveries of missing links would make perfect sense THEN we could take them seriously. Evolution is FILLED with scandal after scandal, so what makes anything they say true when they have a History of lies and cover-ups to their credit?

“We have now the remarkable spectacle that just when many scientific men are agreed that there is no part of the Darwinian system that is of any good influence, and that, as a whole, the theory is not only unproven, but impossible, the ignorant, half-educated masses have acquired the idea that it is to be accepted as scientific fact.” 

Dr. Thomas Dwight of Harvard (Died 1911)

 They will say that since he died in 1911, that his knowledge of science is now outdated, more is known now than when he made this statement. Well, while more is known, and not to support evolution by the way, but to support Creation than ever before it doesn't change one bit what he said, it still applies!

The point he made was clear, Evolution like sex...SELLS, the masses buy it up like candy without one single bit of SOLID PROOF available, its built upon a stack of circumstantial facts that could be interpreted many ways if allowed. These dishonest men and women hide behind these shallow facts that remain unchanged even after the scandals are long gone! 

And we don't need a microscope to observe irreducible complexity in Creation, this is the trouble Evolutionists face and seem to never be able to answer. 

The eye, the ear and the heart are all examples of irreducible complexity, though they were not recognized as such in Darwin's day, seems to be a reverse of the above argument only in this case their science was non-existent YET!

 Evolution would be plausible IF the very smallest of creation were NOT SO COMPLEX, but that my friend is God's big joke on man. He made his creation more complex as you descend into its make-up, the exact opposite of how evolution really works.

We now know that there are in fact tens of thousands of irreducibly complex systems on the cellular level.

 Darwin confessed

"To suppose that the eye with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree."

Evolution is in an IRREDUCIBLE free fall,  the more we learn about how nature functions the smaller evolution becomes!

The Bible: Circular Reasoning or Proof of God?

The problem with skeptics is NOT their natural skepticism which is good to have but the inconsistent and dishonest way in which they approach God and his word.

The statement "Christians can't use 'circular reasoning' by trying to prove the bible by quoting from the bible!"

This question which sounds reasonable to the masses who hate all things God, is lacking BOTH common sense and reasonableness  if you use proper logic! The Bible is a written record of what happened from the beginning until the future, it is God's memory recorded in writing of the history of the earth. So to even think that its not O.K. to use it to prove the proposition that God exists is at best avoidance of PROOF.

It is like saying you cannot prove that the president lives in the White House by looking inside the White House to provide the necessary proof! 

Or you cannot fix your Car by looking at what's wrong under the hood BY LOOKING AT THE BOOK of how to fix your car to find evidence of the problem!

Is it wrong to read the 'Origin of Species' to gain insight into Darwin's mind or is that also circular Reasoning? 

The fallacy of petitio principii, or "begging the question", is committed "when a proposition which requires proof is assumed without proof."    More specifically, petitio principii refers to arguing for a conclusion that has already been assumed in the premise, in effect "begging" any listener to "question" the basis of the logic.

Using the Bible to prove it true is a totally different thing because the Bible contains all the evidence needed to prove the proposition true, all that is needed is the FAITH of God to activate the mind to reason it out of the Bible.

Evolution on the other hand has many problems and issues that make this a problem, assumption is the Name of the Game with Evolution. Please IF you are a serious skeptic then please read the following Articles that PROVE evolution isn't true!

 Evolution lives on NEW discoveries (Constantly moving the Ages of everything around like chess pieces on a chaotic board. Evolution has yet to deal with the Facts at hand which contradict it, while the Bible simply STATES the facts as is and science proves them true as they find out about them.

Age of the earth in the light of special revelation 

1. Only in recent years has science discovered that everything we see is composed of invisible atoms. Here, Scripture tells us that the "things which are seen were not made of things which do appear."

2. Medical science has only recently discovered that blood-clotting in a newborn reaches its peak on the eighth day, then drops. The Bible consistently says that a baby must be circumcised on the eighth day. 

3. At a time when it was believed that the earth sat on a large animal or a giant (1500 B.C.), the Bible spoke of the earth’s free float in space: "He...hangs the earth upon nothing" (Job 26:7).

4. The prophet Isaiah also tells us that the earth is round: "It is he that sits upon the circle of the earth" (Isaiah 40:22). This is not a reference to a flat disk, as some skeptics maintain, but to a sphere. Secular man discovered this 2,400 years later. At a time when science and FALSE  believed that the earth was flat, is was the Scriptures that inspired Christopher Columbus to sail around the world (see Proverbs 3:6 footnote). 

5. God told Job in 1500 B.C.: "Can you send lightnings, that they may go, and say to you, Here we are?" (Job 38:35). The Bible here is making what appears to be a scientifically ludicrous statement—that light can be sent, and then manifest itself in speech. But did you know that radio waves travel at the speed of light? 

This is why you can have instantaneous wireless communication with someone on the other side of the earth. Science didn’t discover this until 1864 when "British scientist James Clerk Maxwell suggested that electricity and light waves were two forms of the same thing" (Modern Century Illustrated Encyclopedia).

6. Job 38:19 asks, "Where is the way where light dwells?" Modern man has only recently discovered that light (electromagnetic radiation) has a "way," traveling at 186,000 miles per second.

7. Science has discovered that stars emit radio waves, which are received on earth as a high pitch. God mentioned this in Job 38:7: "When the morning stars sang together..."

8. "Most cosmologists (scientists who study the structures and evolution of the universe) agree that the Genesis account of creation, in imagining an initial void, may be uncannily close to the truth" (Time, Dec. 1976). 

9. Solomon described a "cycle" of air currents two thousand years before scientists "discovered" them. "The wind goes toward the south, and turns about unto the north; it whirls about continually, and the wind returns again according to his circuits" (Ecclesiastes 1:6). 

10. Science expresses the universe in five terms: time, space, matter, power, and motion. Genesis 1:1,2 revealed such truths to the Hebrews in 1450 B.C.: "In the beginning [time] God created [power] the heaven [space] and the earth [matter] . . . And the Spirit of God moved [motion] upon the face of the waters." The first thing God tells man is that He controls of all aspects of the universe. 

11. The great biological truth concerning the importance of blood in our body’s mechanism has been fully comprehended only in recent years. Up until 120 years ago, sick people were "bled," and many died because of the practice. If you lose your blood, you lose your life. Yet Leviticus 17:11, written 3,000 years ago, declared that blood is the source of life: "For the life of the flesh is in the blood." 

12. All things were made by Him (see John 1:3), including dinosaurs. Why then did the dinosaur disappear? The answer may be in Job 40:15–24. In this passage, God speaks about a great creature called "behemoth." Some commentators think this was a hippopotamus. However, the hippo’s tail isn’t like a large tree, but a small twig. Following are the characteristics of this huge animal: It was the largest of all the creatures God made; was plant-eating (herbivorous); had its strength in its hips and a tail like a large tree.

It had very strong bones, lived among the trees, drank massive amounts of water, and was not disturbed by a raging river. He appears impervious to attack because his nose could pierce through snares, but Scripture says, "He that made him can make his sword to approach unto him." In other words, God caused this, the largest of all the creatures He had made, to become extinct. 

13. Encyclopedia Britannica documents that in 1845, a young doctor in Vienna named Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis was horrified at the terrible death rate of women who gave birth in hospitals. As many as 30 percent died after giving birth. Semmelweis noted that doctors would examine the bodies of patients who died, then, without washing their hands, go straight to the next ward and examine expectant mothers. 

This was their normal practice, because the presence of microscopic diseases was unknown. Semmelweis insisted that doctors wash their hands before examinations, and the death rate immediately dropped to 2 percent. 

Look at the specific instructions God gave His people for when they encounter disease: "And when he that has an issue is cleansed of his issue; then he shall number to himself even days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean" (Leviticus 15:13). 

Until recent years, doctors washed their hands in a bowl of water, leaving invisible germs on their hands. However, the Bible says specifically to wash hands under "running water." 

14. Luke 17:34–36 says the Second Coming of Jesus Christ will occur while some are asleep at night and others are working at daytime activities in the field. This is a clear indication of a revolving earth, with day and night at the same time.

15. "During the devastating Black Death of the fourteenth century, patients who were sick or dead were kept in the same rooms as the rest of the family. People often wondered why the disease was affecting so many people at one time. They attributed these epidemics to ‘bad air’ or ‘evil spirits.’ However, careful attention to the medical commands of God as revealed in Leviticus would have saved untold millions of lives. 

Arturo Castiglione wrote about the overwhelming importance of this biblical medical law: ‘The laws against leprosyin Leviticus 13 may be regarded as the first model of sanitary legislation’ (A History of Medicine)." 

Grant R. Jeffery, The Signature of God 

"With all these truths revealed in Scripture, how could a thinking person deny that the Bible is supernatural in origin?"

There is no other book in any of the world’s religions (Vedas, Bhagavad-Gita, Koran, Book of Mormon, etc.) that contains scientific truth. In fact, they contain statements that are clearly unscientific. 

Hank Hanegraaff said,

"Faith in Christ is not some blind leap into a dark chasm, but a faith based on established evidence." (Hebrews 11:1 )

The Bible is ANYTHING but circular reasoning, it is a witness to great things proven within its supernatural pages. 




The Bible: Proofs of its Supernatural Origin!

http://www.gospeloutreach.net/bibsuper.html

To deny this is to close one's mind to facts that bother your theory of beginnings.

Part 2 -The Doorway to Belief: How FAITH Opens the Proof of God!

As we learned previously, The Bible cannot be learned from, with "The Mind of the Flesh"mindset; meaning that the Natural Mind is blinded to anything spiritual.....period! The natural human mind cannot imagine the half of what God HAS DONE let alone what he will do BY FAITH!

The words of God are of spiritual nature so it is totally understandable and Logical that it must then be spiritually understood, opened within the spirit man to reveal its proof within you once you have obeyed God. 

This is what the Bible calls "The Renewing of the Mind" restructuring our thinking so that what God says makes perfect sense to our human mind, the problem is we have become religious rather than smart in our thinking!

 Romans 12

 ¹I APPEAL to you therefore, brethren, and beg of you in view of [all] the mercies of God, to make a decisive dedication of your bodies [presenting all your members and faculties] as a living sacrifice, holy (devoted, consecrated) and well pleasing to God, which is your reasonable (rational, intelligent) service and spiritual worship.

   

²Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you].

The total transformation of the mind through the Word of God, and remember the Words of God are the containers of proof, of evidence, of answers to our deepest questions. Once we renew our thinking and restructure our mind to think as God himself would think then the Will of God becomes second nature to us!

Man's religion, his attempt to reach God aside from God's provisions for Salvation and his CLEAR commands, are mind/flesh agreements that DISAGREE with God's clear Commands. (Idol Worship is a clear case, praying to saints, confessing to men sin, ALL CLEAR DISOBEDIENCE TO SCRIPTURE) 

Religion is wearing a Fig Leaf to cover sin instead of allowing God to put the Blood of Christ there. People who are deceived by religion are as blinded by darkness as skeptics who don't know the Lord at all and cannot see the truth before them, the only difference is that Religion has access to the truth in their laps or on their coffee tables daily and Skeptics don't. 

 WHAT IS BELIEF?

1. The mental act, condition, or habit of placing trust or confidence in another: My belief in you is as strong as ever.

2. Mental acceptance of and conviction in the truth, actuality, or validity of something: His explanation of what happened defies belief.

3. Something believed or accepted as true, especially a particular tenet or a body of tenets accepted by a group of persons.

This equally applies to science as it does religion, there's no way around this. Scientists BELIEVE certain things based SOMETIMES on good scientific evidence and other times not so much, so for Atheist's to say they are not a religion, a belief system is at best a denial of the obvious.

I know they are not a religion LIKE a denomination but in basic terms ALL men worship something, god or God or Humanism or science as a concept to explain who we are, why are we here and where are we going? 

That is where the similarities end through, because without proof there is NO God, Atheists have no firm base on which to stand since the ALL NATURAL explanation of origins (Evolution) is naked of proof, only circumstantial evidence!

As I have said TRUE BIBLICAL FAITH according to Hebrews 11:1 is the real base on which all Christian evidence rests BUT it must be understood FIRST of all that the requirement of God is to receive HIS FAITH FIRST then all the evidence's PROOF'S are revealed to the Mind!   

Hebrews 10:34 (Amplified Bible)

^"For you did sympathize and suffer along with those who were imprisoned, and you bore cheerfully the plundering of your belongings and the confiscation of your property, in the knowledge and consciousness that you yourselves had a better and lasting possession."

Faith produces true Knowledge by stirring our Consciousness with "doubtless" confidence in God's ability to fulfill what he has said to us, that goes for evidence for whatever we are desiring to get from him!

True Biblical Faith is the heaven sent SUBSTANCE of what we desire, physically or Mentally need to know or have. Faith given by God CONTAINS within its seed every thing needed to BRING that desire into OUR REALITY.

Just as in Science, you MUST STOP doing everything that will taint your results, your heart must be like a "Clean Room" in a Lab, pure from any desire that is Hypocritical to what you want to happen. If you desire Healing it would be a conflict of Interest to keep claiming your sick. Don't deny the truth, but rather reinforce your true desire with scriptural backing, thus creating the end result as God framed the worlds.


A scientist doesn't REHEARSE a wrong idea when he knows it won't get the result wanted, he changes what he's doing to match the wanted results, in the same way we must change what doesn't work (Our Confessions to others and ourselves) and start confessing what God says about us, that's how FAITH serves God's purposes in our life.

Whenever we excel in our desires we are experiencing prosperity from God and that is HIS PERFECT WILL FOR US! 

Hebrews 11:6 (Amplified Bible)

"But without faith it is impossible to please and be satisfactory to Him. For whoever would come near to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He is the rewarder of those who earnestly and diligently seek Him [out]."


Did you see that, "whoever would come near to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists", that is clearly proof of what I've been saying about the proper way to get your proof. First accept him by Faith then the proof that he exists follows, its not a blind faith without proof.

"Without faith it is impossible to please and be satisfactory to Him." God loves a FAITH following believer, and will ALWAYS answer their prayers of heart felt desire. Faith gets God's attention immediately and HIGHLIGHTS YOUR NEEDS AND DESIRES.

Psalm 35:27 (Amplified Bible)

"Let those who favor my righteous cause and have pleasure in my uprightness shout for joy and be glad and say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, Who takes pleasure in the prosperity of His servant."

SPEAK TO YOUR MOUNTAIN

Mark 11:23-24 (Amplified Bible)

"Truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, Be lifted up and thrown into the sea! and does not doubt at all in his heart but believes that what he says will take place, it will be done for him.

    

For this reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that it is granted to you, and you will [get it]."

This is an exciting verse, or it should be for the skeptic, who is willing top follow the RULE laid down by God in his word, its a chance to PROVE once and for all if God is real or imaginary, but you must first follow what he's told you to do. This isn't hard, but the skeptical mind cannot be in obedience to what it rejects from the outset.

If your in revolt to God in ANY WAY, faith CANNOT WORK, if you are not in total obedience to his requirements YOU HAVE SPOILED THE EXPERIMENT and have no right to criticize God from a scientific standpoint. A scientific mindset would never do what MOST skeptics do normally, rebel against the results because you don't want to believe the alternative idea.

A true Scientist goes into an investigation UNBIASED trying to find Evidence of ether side of the argument NOT going into it with doubts of one side and belief of the other side strong, HOW could any result but the one expected ever happen? If you are like that your not serious about the results and are the biblical definition of a HYPOCRITE!
