The Lie: Mankind Created God - The Truth: God Created Mankind



Note that when you begin reading the first book of the Bible, it states, “In the beginning, God. . . .” In other words, God’s Word starts with God. He exists. He was not created. God’s Word doesn’t set out to prove God exists; it states God exists! He is and as he states repeatedly in Scripture, “I am.”

I explain all of this, including the faith aspect, to secularists when they ask me that question about who made God. But then I ask them questions about what they believe.

After my debate with Bill Nye (TV’s “The Science Guy”) in 2014 at the Creation Museum, we took questions that were submitted by audience members. One of the questions came from a young boy who asked, “Where did matter come from?” Bill Nye responded, “I don’t know. It’s a great mystery.” I answered, “There is a book [the Bible] that tells us where matter came from.”

Skeptics may mock at Christians for believing in an eternal God, but what do they believe? Where did matter come from? Why does anything exist? Where did energy come from? Why does time exist? Why does space exist? Is matter eternal? Did matter suddenly come from nowhere for no reason? And how do they explain the laws of nature that are immaterial? And why do these laws stay the same and not evolve? Skeptics ultimately have no answers! They can have all sorts of opinions and (blind faith) beliefs, but the bottom line is they have no definitive answer at all.

I remember atheist Richard Dawkins claiming it’s possible to postulate that life was seeded on earth by aliens from outer space. Obviously, skeptics can’t explain how life on earth could arise from matter by chance random processes, so one of their ways around this is to claim life came from outer space. All they did was shift the origin of life on earth to another planet. But then we could ask where the aliens from another planet that seeded life on earth came from? Well, maybe other aliens seeded life on that planet to become aliens that would seed life on earth. But then where did the aliens that seeded life on that other planet come from? Were there other aliens that seeded life on that planet so aliens could arise to seed life on another planet so aliens could arise and seed life on earth? I think skeptics would be happy to believe in eternal aliens but not an eternal God. And that’s because to believe in the eternal God is to accept he created us, owns us, and sets the rules. Thus, abortion is murder, marriage is one man and one woman, etc. These skeptics want to be their own god, so they will accept all sorts of ridiculous ideas rather than believe the obvious—“In the beginning, God . . . .” Ken Ham @ Answers In Genesis

Psalm 14:1

1Only fools say in their hearts,
“There is no God.”
They are corrupt, and their actions are evil;
not one of them does good!

It's foolishness to claim there is no God, as in Psalm 14:1, and not be able to prove it to be the Truth.

Who said anything about religion?
Morvoren · F
@GodSpeed63 You did when you referenced the Bible, a religious book.

Here comes the “it’s not a religion…”

According to whom?
Morvoren · F
@GodSpeed63 Everyone knows the Bible is the principle text on which the religion of Christianity is based.

If you’re not aware of that, you’re not a very good Christian.

Have you ever read Matthew 23 to see how God feels man made religion?

[quote]If you’re not aware of that, you’re not a very good Christian.[/quote]

My 'religion' if you will, is found in James 1:27.

@GodSpeed63 A long time ago.

You’ve built a fantasy world for yourself. Others don’t have to participate.

Where's your evidence to support your claim? How do you know that What I'm believing is fantasy?
Morvoren · F
@GodSpeed63 You are the evidence. You behave in a way that underlines your delusion.

@Morvoren [quote]You are the evidence. You behave in a way that underlines your delusion.[/quote]

So far, you haven't come up with anything substantial. How do you know that believing in the one true God is a delusion? What is supporting that claim, supposedly besides me?
Morvoren · F
@GodSpeed63 You’ve pitched this the wrong way.

You have a book that says the Bible god is the one true god.

I have napkin that says the napkin god is the one true god.

You have nothing that says one written down declaration is any different from the other.

How's that?

[quote]You have a book that says the Bible god is the one true god.[/quote]

The Word of God isn't just book, it's 66 books testifying that God is the only living God.

[quote]I have napkin that says the napkin god is the one true god. [/quote]

Do you actually believe that to be true?

[quote]You have nothing that says one written down declaration is any different from the other.[/quote]

For instance...

@GodSpeed63 The Bible is a selection of books, written by men who had their own ambitions and agendas. Just like the author of the napkin. They are the same.

Why do you think we call it the Word of God? Read 2 Timothy 3:16 and 2 Peter 1:19-21
Renkon · 36-40, M
@Morvoren Most scriptures are. The problems is mistaking scriptures for scientific data or solid proof. Then all of a sudden "My religion is true, yours is wrong" mentality takes over.

It is so dangerous, it has resulted in genocides in human history. That which was meant to bring peace instigating violence. This is what happens with blind belief.

@Morvoren [quote]It isn’t the word of a god. It’s a fictitious book written by men. That’s all.[/quote]

Just saying it isn't proof enough to convince me that you're telling the truth. Where's your evidence and facts to support your claim?
Morvoren · F
@GodSpeed63 It’s like this: you have a book that says that god is real. Someone has a napkin that says their god is real. There’s no reason to believe one without believing the other.

@Morvoren [quote] It’s like this: you have a book that says that god is real.[/quote]

It’s like this:the Word of God is 66 books written by Him through holy men of their time that were there to witness His Love, Power, Wisdom, and Intelligence. Your napkin only testifies to your lack of understanding to His Word. Jesus said that we must be born again in order to see the kingdom of God. You've had a physical birth, now you need a Spiritual birth to have your eyes opened to the Truth of God and your ears opened to His Voice.
Morvoren · F
@GodSpeed63 No actually I don’t need any of that fictitious religious claptrap.

The msn who wrote on the napkin could be a holy man. So by your logic you have to believe him too, and just about anything else written down.

Morvoren · F
@GodSpeed63 You’re a Christian, and that’s your religion. Any comment to the contrary is further proof of your delusion.

@GodSpeed63 According to Christians. Maybe you didn’t graduate into it yet. You’re still just a learner.

There are religious people claiming to be Christian and there are true believers in Christ, to whom are you referring to?
