25 Evidences that Jesus is God

Have you ever heard someone such as an Jehovah's witness, 7 Day Adventist or Muslim claim Jesus wasn't God. Well I have compiled a few verses to refute that idea, I hope you enjoy my points.

Proving God Exist by 3 Superdogs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1J5kX4Cubc

my notes:
time itself cannot be eternal, if it were there would be an infinite of past time before right now. that's impossible for infinite is endless. if there were an endless amount of time before right now we would never reach this moment in time. just as u can't reach the end of the line 0____oo you cant reach
oo_____0.  0=right now and oo=eternity.

why is there something instead of nothing either 1. something from nothing 2. infinite amount of previous causes 3. An un-caused cause (God) exist. the first two notions are impossible. un-caused cause isn't bound by time. because of this it's also space-less and immaterial.

Einsteins theory of relativity confirms matter, space, time are co-dependent. Since it's timeless it's also changeless. if it were changeless how could it bring forth anything into existence. example... if a non personal object like a book were in a changeless eternal state how could it bring forth anything? the only way something in  that state could give rise to anything is if it were a choice maker. has to personal, how else could a timeless cause give rise to a temporal effect.

If the cause  were a mechanically operating set of necessary and sufficient conditions then the cause could never exist without the effect. example if cause was below 32  degrees f from eternity past then it would be impossible for water to begin to freeze a finite time ago. so if the cause was timelessly present the effect would be to. only way the cause is timeless and the effect would begin in time is if the cause is a personal agent who freely chooses to create an effect in time. it is non-contingent because if it was contingent then it's non-existence is possible. there must be at least one non-contingent being that exists for anything to at all to exist.

Religion: Cao Dai

This religion was created in 1926 by Ngo Van Chieu. It supposedly has a few million adherants.

Adultery

It is a crime condemned throughout scripture (Exo 20:14, Deut 5:18, Matt 19:18, Mark 10:19, Rom 13:9). Even before the law was given to Israel it has been recognized as a sin (Gen 20:9, 39:9).
So much misery and woe is caused by this one sin alone. It causes divorce, spreads disease, and creates illegitimate children just to name a few problems.

As Christians we must be on guard against adultery for even the great king David who was a man after God's own heart (Act 13:22) fell into this sin (2 Sam 11:2-4). This crime is so serious that it warranted the death penalty in the old testament (Lev 20:10). The perfect man Job understood the consequences of committing this heinous crime (Job 31:1-12). Proverbs warns that those that do such things shall receive a wound, dishonour, also their reproach will not be wiped away. Adulterers lack understanding (Prov 6:24-35).

In the gospel of Matthew we learn that if we look on someone with lust we have already committed adultery in our heart (Matt 5:28).  My question to the reader is this; Is the unrepentant sin of Adultery the reason why God isn't listening to your prayers? (Psa 66:18, Mal 2:13-14). Scripture is clear that adulterers will not inherit the kingdom of God (1 Cor 6:9-10, Gal 5:19-21). While I do not support the idea of the death penalty for them (Joh 8:4-7), I do however think they should be rebuked (1 Tim 5:20) and if they are a brother avoided if they don't repent (1 Cor 5:11).

Psalm 23: The Lord Is My Shepherd

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Scientific Evidence that God created Life

www.creationism.org/heinze/SciEvidGodLife.htm

The link above shows an article by Thomas F. Heinze

what follows are my notes on the subject.

In nineteen fifty three miller's experiment showed that passing a spark of electricity 

through  a certain mixture of gases will create amino acids, the building blocks of proteins 

which are the ingredients of living cells. School textbooks teach us that lightning strikes

provided the sparks that formed amino acids which concentrated in an organic soup, 

and then linked together to form proteins, which then got together with DNA
to form the first living cell. The Problem is amino acids will not link together to
form proteins. That is because proteins are so hard to create that

in all of nature, they never form except in already living cells. It is only proteins containing 

all left handed amino acids  that will work in living things, because proteins with right handed 

right handed ones have the wrong shape won't snap into the proteins around them correctly.
In nature, all left handed amino acids are only formed by living cells.
The ones formed in experiments like millers are half left and half right so they wont work
in the proteins of living things. 

Religion: Universe People

A Czech and Slovak UFO religion founded in the 1990's. Founders name is IVO A. Benda. They believe in the existence of Alien Civilizations that communicate with Benda and others since the fall of 1997. The "aliens" contact them telepathically and directly. Benda believes there is a fleet of spaceships led by Ashtar galactic command which orbits earth.

Television and Video games

Today I want to discuss why I believe Christians should be careful of what kind of Television/Video games they watch/play, as well as how often they enjoy them.

Happiness According To Scripture

        Many people, including Christians, have continually pondered what it means to obtain genuine, profound happiness. In fact, there are some who are absolutely clueless of these uplifting, fulfilling emotional experiences because they have never encountered any rightful source which ignites feelings of pleasure, satisfaction, and joy. It is quite possible that these individuals have undergone disease, disorder, ill-treatment, or simply yearn for an inherent sense of dignity. Whatever the case, the good news as prescribed by the gospel can alleviate us of sorrows prompted by physical, psychological, and spiritual reasons (Philippians 4:19). It will help the person who desires righteousness to view the glass as half full rather than half empty. The gospel can liberate the confined soul by enabling the mind to rest assured in the fact that God is ultimately in control of life. What does it mean to have true happiness? Where should our happiness originate? Can we be happy without holiness? Providing answers to such fundamental questions will most certainly aid people in discovering the scriptural standpoint on happiness, and how to make it efficacious in their lives.

       Happiness is the pleasurable emotion which occurs when a person is satisfied overall. It is a feeling of delight. It is a feeling of gratitude. It is a feeling of optimism. It is a feeling of assurance. It is a feeling of appeasement. It is a feeling of consolation. It is a feeling of purposefulness. Happiness is a feeling of livelihood. Happiness is a feeling of perseverance (James 1:3-4). Happiness is a feeling of confidence. It involves trust. It involves faithfulness. Happiness is a state of mental tranquility. In summary, being happy involves being in a state of well-being. Oftentimes, the Scriptures occupy the words happiness and joy synonymously. In other words, they recognize no distinction between the meanings of both words. They are inextricably united (Psalm 68:3; 144:15). Thus, being joyful is the same as being happy. It involves being glad. It involves rejoicing, even during times of hardship and heartache (Romans 5:3-5). It entails praising the God who has lovingly set the universe in order. True happiness as defined in accordance to biblical principles involves glorifying God, especially when considering how He has reconciled us to Himself from iniquity through the atoning work of His Son Jesus Christ. The foundational aspect of happiness is that it is strictly a gift from God. If God is for us, then who or what can be against us? Is not the love of God everything?

       Now, it would be appropriate to address the question regarding the proper source of human happiness. Should our joy be determined by mere circumstance, or should it be centered on a divine Person? Indeed, the truth shall set us free (John 8:31-32). Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the light (John 14:6). The Father's Word is the truth by which the innermost part of our being is sanctified (John 17:14-17). The Bible is the spiritual standard by which the Christian worldview has been established. It is our walk with God that shapes our perception of reality. If we love, know, and serve our Creator from the heart, then we know that we belong to Him (1 John 2:3-4). He will be included in everything we do because that is how a personal relationship works. If we believe from the heart that the Father had resurrected the Son bodily from the grave, then we shall be justified in His sight. It is through accepting the message of the gospel that we have been deemed children of God. It needs to be accepted with all our heart and our entire mind because the mind is the gateway of the heart. These concepts are all rooted deeply in the fact that we should be placing our trust in God. It is He who saves us. It is only through God's grace that we able to withstand moments of pain, desolation, distress, and suffering. We can learn to experience authentic joy only when we realize that God's grace is sufficient for us, and that His strength is complemented during the times of our weakness. This is the meaning of leaning on Christ Jesus (Matthew 11:28-28).

       Scripture informs us of two different, diametrically opposed kinds of happiness. One springs forth from engaging in fruits of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22), whereas the latter comes from partaking in fleshly desires (Hebrews 11:25). What needs to be addressed here is the fact that allowing sin to have dominion over our lives is futile, and dangerous to the soul (Galatians 6:7-9). It is unprofitable for us. Fulfilling sinful lusts can only result in feeling finite, temporary satisfaction. In other words, surrendering our will to sin can only result in us feeling a self-deceptive perversion of happiness. Sin is defined scripturally to mean the breaking of God's commandments (1 John 3:4). It is a failure to live up to reality. It is a failure to appreciate the good things that God has designed for us. A sin addiction necessarily involves a repetitive cycle of engaging in that specific transgression. It is pointless to continue in that lifestyle because it can never satisfy the longings of the human soul. This is a form of selfishness. This is a form of idolatry. This is a form of slavery. It is lawlessness. It is rebellion. Quite simply, we cannot resort to a finite source to quench a longing that demands infinite fulfillment. A lifestyle of sin is simply unworkable. We cannot have happiness without God. It is only through Him that we can have an ultimate sense of purpose for our lives. It is only through Him that we can even consistently adhere to objective moral laws. It is only through Him that we can have understanding, peace, and order. Happiness is not a byproduct of holiness, but rather is holiness (Psalm 1:1-3;Matthew 5:2-12). It can only be found in serving God according to His will.

       This essay has been written to explain what it means to be happy, the source of true happiness, and what it should be centered on. In short, being happy involves being in a state of well-being. It ultimately comes from the Lord, and should be centered around the divine Person of Jesus Christ. We are set free from sin and desolation through the transforming power of the glorious gospel. We love, know, and serve Him because He is worthy of our dedication. Our joyous state should therefore be a positive reflection of our spiritual health. It should remain through our times of tribulation because they are meant to build up our virtues. We should be striving to becoming closer to God, rather than separating ourselves from His presence. His desire that mankind be saved should be magnified through our preaching and character. This is true happiness. The world is not our home, and so we should not strive to live like the world. The ways of the world are the ways of darkness, which is contrary to the light. The ways of darkness is the way to perishing eternally in the literal flames of hell. Sin can never result in happiness. It is pure bondage of the soul. It is utterly sacrilegious thoughts, words, and deeds. Our hearts need to be right with God. In conclusion, that is the meaning of true happiness.

Understanding Biblical Forgiveness

      What are we to do when we experience persistent resentment toward another person who wronged us in some way? First of all, it should be stated emphatically that anger is generally not an easy emotion to control and soothe. We have to admit to ourselves that we have all been treated unfairly at some point in time. We have to admit that we have been ridiculed. We have been mocked. We have been slandered. In short, we have all been offended. Some incidents are entirely accidental, whereas others are provoked intentionally. But what does it mean to offer forgiveness? Is it a necessary option? Why is it even important that we be reconciled with each other? What can be affirmed beyond any reasonable doubt is that the world cannot function in harmony without a personal examination of our consciences to see whether we are in an unwarranted manner holding past grievances committed against us.

        The scriptural definition of forgiveness means to not count an evil action against a guilty party. It means to grant pardon to an individual. It means to not plot revenge against the person who has engaged in offensive speech or conduct. It means to not hold any record of debt. Forgiveness involves the restoration of a person from his or her previous state of indignation. It is an act of love. It is an act of kindness. It is an act of compassion. It is an act of grace. It is not deserved. It is an act of the will. It is done deliberately (Matthew 18:21-22). Forgiveness of another person necessarily involves a change in attitude. It necessarily denotes a change in heart toward another person. It involves not dwelling on our past situations. Furthermore, the forgiveness offered by God involves Him erasing our debt of transgressions committed against Him (1 John 1:7-9). The characteristics of contempt and hostility are contrary to the ways of forgiveness. The person who has delivered an insult should not be regarded in ill-will. Forgiveness, on the other hand, does not require that we condone what has been said or done to us. Measures may still need to be taken, depending on the situational context of the relationship. We should always strive for resolution. It is conditional, namely in that wrongdoers should openly repent of their misdeeds (Luke 17:3-4). We can also choose to overlook another person's misbehavior. To forgive means to cease showing malice or resent toward another person for a mistake or offense.

         Unjustly withholding forgiveness to whom it is due can have drastic repercussions on both personal relationships and civilization on a large scale. If we allow our anger to continually scorch our hearts, then we will only act bitterly and defile the people around us. The Scriptures clearly warn against not striving to live peacefully with other people (Ephesians 4:31-32; Hebrews 12:14-15), and for good reason. In fact, unchecked anger is defilement in itself. A contentious relationship cannot successfully thrive because it closes the gates of compromise. It blocks any entry of human reason. It constipates any influx of God's grace. Consequently, the situation will be rendered unworkable. Malice and strife can only hinder one from listening, and thereby from correctly understanding the presented issues at hand. An unforgiving heart will only hold on to its subjective perception of reality. This is why the opposing sides of a vindictive matter tend to willfully misrepresent each other. At this moment, we have investigated the practical side of revealing clemency to the people who have repented of any possible mistreatment against us. Now, think of the aforementioned details in the context of family. This could lead to ruthless and unnecessary separation. It could lead to the destruction of property, and even lives. Allowing the flames of hatred to continually brew in our hearts can only lead up to the deterioration of good and moral values (these emotional fumes need to be quenched by the waters of God's mercy). Think of this scenario in the much broader spectrum of society, which comprises of families in different classes. This would only result in war. It would only result in hopeless anarchy. We need to admit when we are wrong. It can never be stated sufficiently that we should repent of past evils, and strive to be reconciled with each other.

         What if a person is unable to forgive himself or herself for previously committed reprehensible deeds? Well, we are not required to forgive ourselves. God will bring them to a state of peace and forgiveness at the appointed hour. What ultimately matters is that we accept the forgiveness of God as provided through the expiatory work of His Son Jesus Christ. What matters is that God lovingly provided us a way to escape eternal separation from Him. We should find comfort in that fact. We should find joy in that fact. We should find peace in that fact. We should repent of our sins against God and each other. We should choose to forgive others, as God has chosen to forgive us for our trespasses against Him (Matthew 6:14-15). We should aim at being reconciled with each other, as God desires to be reconciled with us. We should not permit our emotions to prevent us from moving forward with our lives. We can assist the people who are struggling with the concept of forgiveness by simply making ourselves available listeners to those afflicted and by showing gentleness. To be in a constant state of anger, bitterness, and malice is not an earmark of Christian piety. It reveals a state of poor spiritual health. Forgiveness comes from the heart (Matthew 18:35). We should be inclined to forgive because God has forgiven us. 

         Having discussed what it means to forgive, why it matters, and the negative consequences of holding grudges, it nevertheless remains crucial to summarize the discussion in a concluding format. Forgiveness springs forth from love, which constitutes the foundation of the Christian religion. Forgiveness is the very root of the gospel. It is because of God offering His Son Jesus Christ as the final propitiatory sacrifice that He is able to forgive and remove our iniquity from us. It is because of mercy that friendships can be restored. It is because of forgiveness that we are able to peacefully progress in our lives. It is because of forgiveness that the world even has a sense of tranquility. Forgiveness is a quintessential aspect of the Christian walk. It has never been morally permissible for us to display hatred and spite because it is contrary to the principles of the gospel. We know that allowing anger to brew in our hearts for prolonged periods of time will always have a negative aftermath. We should forgive, as God has forgiven us. However, this does not mean that we must tolerate or accept what other people have said or done to us. Cutting ties may certainly be a necessary safety precaution. We must repent from the heart of our sins, and offer forgiveness to those who have offended us in some way and also repented.

Rock Toads

During the construction of the Erie Canal, New York in 1817-1825 encased in Rocks dated by Evolutionary Scientist as approx. "430 Million yrs old" were found Toads that were in a stupor. Some of the toads that came out of hibernation lived for days. This is a big problem for Evolutionary theory as the toads that were found in rocks cannot be that old simply because studies show that DNA breaks down in the thousands of years range not millions, even in the best conditions.

Another example is the soft tissues found in a Triceratops horn and rib (Armitage & Anderson, Acta Histochemica). Found in the Hell creek formation, Montana.
What kind of soft tissues you ask? Bone cells, Blood vessels that were still soft and pliable, and blood cells.

See Genesis Week Season 2 Episode 25

It turns out mosquito's don't have to eat blood to fertilize their eggs but can eat plant sap instead, however this will result in the fertilization of only one egg at a time instead of hundreds by drinking blood. The point i'm making is that this is strong evidence that supports the account in Genesis where God originally gave all of the animals herbs to eat. Of course, now in our fallen world where things are waxing worse and worse (2nd law of thermodynamics) mosquitoes need the nutrients found in animals blood in order to proliferate more effectively.
