![DAY 45: IF JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY,
WHAT ABOUT THE DESERT ISLAND GUY WHO HAS NEVER HEARD OF HIM? [2 of 2] Even if our desert-island recluse was blind and deaf (so he could not see or hear God’s creation), Romans 2:14-15 talks about the second C (of the three C’s that prove God’s existence): the light of Conscience. People inherently know it’s wrong to murder. Where did that come from? If evolution were true, there would be no right and wrong, right? Of course, over time people like Hitler can have their conscience become seared; early on though,
everyone knows it is inherently wrong to kill and steal. Where
did that come from? Since many have not seen God’s Ten
Commandments, where did they get those same morals? That’s the moral argument of existence, which logically tells us that universal, moral laws must come from a universal, moral-law giver—God. There has to be a God! So, Creation and Conscience (two C’s) testify that there is a God, and those two truths pull the rug from under skeptics; our island guy has no excuse. The third C is Christ, and this one is for you! We addressed the hypothetical straw-man argument of the desert-island guy, mountaintop person, or the one lost in isle thirty-seven at Walmart, but none of that matters if you are the one reading this. We are all sinners, Christ died to save us
from hell, and all we must do is accept His free gift of salvation
that He supplied when He died on the cross for our sins.
If you hadn’t heard prior, at least you’re accountable
now, and doesn’t that bring it back home? | image tagged in jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/72ytq2.jpg)
![DAY 46: HOW IS CHRISTIANITY DIFFERENT FROM ALL OTHER FAITHS? [1 of 2] The rest have a list of demands from their leaders, decrees that prescribe the followers must DO WORKS to supposedly attain heaven. Contrary to that, the Bible tells us there is only one Mediator between man and God—that is Jesus Christ. And because Christ already DID THE WORK for us, we are able to go straight to Jesus, thus avoiding any of man’s prescribed rituals. And it costs us nothing
except to humble ourselves, admitting we need a savior. In Hebrews, John the apostle of Christ tells us that Christians have the freedom to go directly to God, and we can do so with boldness, always finding grace and help from Him in our time of need. Isn’t that mind-blowing? Just as John seemed to have his mind blown by that realization, even today it feels like John’s words are coming off the pages.
He was amazed at the thought that we are actually
CHILDREN of GOD! Can you believe that? Even
after all the bad things we’ve done?! | image tagged in religion,bible,jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/74d48c.jpg)
![DAY 44: IF JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY,
WHAT ABOUT THE DESERT ISLAND DWELLER WHO HAS NEVER HEARD OF HIM? [1 of 2] Let’s say this island guy has not seen another person or even a bird or insect. The skeptic’s question is this: “Do you mean to tell me God is going to send that poor guy to hell?” You may know the answer if you’ve already watched our seminary-style study called Discipleship 101 and Discipleship 102, a disciple’s education for every Christian, because the last directive from Jesus as He left earth was: “Go and make discipled learners of all nations.” (Matthew 28:19) Every saved soul is a blessing, but each accomplished disciple is equipped to bring multitudes with him
or her to heaven. Romans 1 and 2 answer our question about
the isolated island person, and it’s called the “three C’s.”
I’ll give the first C here and the other two in part two. God’s Creation is apparent to every human, so lack of a Bible is no excuse. Romans 1 says we have “the light of creation.” Just step outside to see a bird, a flea, or a bee; that is intelligent design—just as your car, watch, and phone are—which implies a designer. The unfathomable complexity of the stars and planets testify that they did not happen by chance. All of creation drives us to know that there is a God. Romans 1:20 tells us: God’s invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen since the creation of the world.
God can be seen and heard by observing and hearing
His creation. So, everyone is accountable—no human
in all of history has had an honest excuse! | image tagged in jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/72yszy.jpg)
![DAY 40: WHY DO LESS THAN 50% OF
CHRISTIANS TRUST THE BIBLE 100%? [1 of 4] Knowing the Bible is exactly the way God wanted it laid it out for us, Christians can fully trust it as the only book that has all God’s truth and instructions, the correct history, and a completely reliable look into our future. Contrary to that solid foundation for life—which involves a relationship with Jesus—cults and religions just prescribe rituals, donations, mantras, sacrifices, worship of malevolent entities (demons), and other works you must perform because of empty threats and promises. And those teachings from man don’t reveal ultimate knowledge and truth because only the
Bible can do that. In fact, much of man’s teaching involves lies. Of course, the Bible has skeptics who claim we can’t trust that Moses around 1445 BC wrote about the Garden of Eden in Genesis. But that’s the importance of the Bible’s genealogies, like the three men in Genesis 10 who together live through the first 2157 years of mankind. How could that be? Well, we know people lived longer life spans during the first couple centuries, and that’s not just spiritualizing the biblical text: We even have proof scientifically, as we detail with our study called In the Days of Noah, which is part of
our Creation Series. So, much of Scripture’s history came from only
three guys who knew each other for a long, long time; it wasn’t
just some breakout session during a weekend conference that
hopefully archived the information accurately. | image tagged in bible,christian,god,jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/70j787.jpg)
![DAY 23: IS MEDITATION OKAY? [1 of 4] “The similarities between the practice of transcendental meditation and the practice of [Hindu] religious prayer rituals cannot be denied. The basic posture for transcendental meditation is sitting for 15-20 minutes, with eyes closed, repeating a mantra or a simple sound to clear the mind of thought.”; Much different from meditation’s goal of emptying the mind, Christian prayer seeks to:
- Communicate directly to God with our minds,
- Focus on speaking to Him,
- Praise Him for the way He is,
- Thank Him for what He’s done for us,
- Ask Him to help others, and
- Request help with certain aspects of our own lives. We have an actual conversation with our Creator. The opposite of that is the Hindu religious ritual of meditation, where followers repeat mantras (words or phrases) over and over and over until they can empty their minds—the goal is
to contact spirits that are not from God. | image tagged in jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/6xth1u.jpg)
