End Times Crisis: Believe Science or the Bible?

[Rapture and End Times]

How can an educated person believe God created the world? How could a loving God send people to Hell? Didn't science disprove Christianity? Many Christians hear objections to Christianity and have a crisis of faith. Let's explore these questions now. https://raptureandendtimes.com/2020/08/22/end-times-crisis-believe-science-or-the-bible/

There is no conflict between Science and the Bible AT ALL. No one has ever showed me a conflict or a contradiction. The Bible is based on Archetypes. Jesus said: "As it was in the days of Noah".  He shows us how to apply the days of Noah to end time events. (Matthew 24:37)

Everyone is written in the Lambs book of life from the foundation of the world. If they reject Jesus then their name is blotted out of the book. God writes the book of our life at conception (Psalm 139:15,16) People are judged if follow His plan for them and their life. The angels keep a record of how we live our life. 

"And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works." (Revelation 20:12)

"He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels." (Revelation 3:5)

God does not send people to hell, people send themselves to hell because they do not believe in Jesus Christ. 

 

Question: "Do faith in God and science contradict?"

Answer: Science is defined as “the observation, identification, description, experimental investigation, and theoretical explanation of phenomena.” Science is a method that mankind can use to gain a greater understanding of the natural universe. It is a search for knowledge through observation. Advances in science demonstrate the reach of human logic and imagination. However, a Christian’s belief in science should never be like our belief in God. A Christian can have faith in God and respect for science, as long as we remember which is perfect and which is not.

Our belief in God is a belief of faith. We have faith in His Son for salvation, faith in His Word for instruction, and faith in His Holy Spirit for guidance. Our faith in God should be absolute, since when we put our faith in God, we depend on a perfect, omnipotent, omniscient Creator. Our belief in science should be intellectual and nothing more. We can count on science to do many great things, but we can also count on science to make mistakes. If we put faith in science, we depend on imperfect, sinful, limited, mortal men. Science throughout history has been wrong about many things, such as the shape of the earth, powered flight, vaccines, blood transfusions, and even reproduction. God is never wrong.

Truth is nothing to fear, so there is no reason for a Christian to fear good science. Learning more about the way God constructed our universe helps all of mankind appreciate the wonder of creation. Expanding our knowledge helps us to combat disease, ignorance, and misunderstanding. However, there is danger when scientists hold their faith in human logic above faith in our Creator. These persons are no different from anyone devoted to a religion; they have chosen faith in man and will find facts to defend that faith.

Still, the most rational scientists, even those who refuse to believe in God, admit to a lack of completeness in our understanding of the universe. They will admit that neither God nor the Bible can be proved or disproved by science, just as many of their favorite theories ultimately cannot be proved or disproved. Science is meant to be a truly neutral discipline, seeking only the truth, not furtherance of an agenda.

Much of science supports the existence and work of God. Psalm 19:1 says, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.” As modern science discovers more about the universe, we find more evidence of creation. The amazing complexity and replication of DNA, the intricate and interlocking laws of physics, and the absolute harmony of conditions and chemistry here on earth all serve to support the message of the Bible. A Christian should embrace science that seeks the truth, but reject the “priests of science” who put human knowledge above God.

If you have never believed by faith in the Lord, Jesus,
you will get to see firsthand how He will send you to hell!
God is just. You, and everyone, have a choice.
