Thought provoking….(copied from another post)

TO ALL APOLOGETICS STUDENTS ;

Professor : You are a Christian, aren't you, son ?
Professor : You are a Christian, aren't you, son ?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor: So, you believe in GOD ?
Student : Absolutely, sir.
Professor : Is GOD good ?
Student : Sure.
Professor: Is GOD all powerful ?
Student : Yes.
Professor: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to GOD to heal
him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn’t. How
is this GOD good then? Hmm?
(Student was silent.)
Professor: You can’t answer, can you ? Let’s start again, young fella. Is GOD
good?
Student : Yes.
Professor: Is satan good ?
Student : No.
Professor: Where does satan come from ?
Studrew ent : From … GOD …
Professor: That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student : Yes.
Professor: Evil is everywhere, isn’t it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct?
Student : Yes.
Professor: So who created evil ?
(Student did not answer.)
Professor: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible
things exist in the world, don’t they?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor: So, who created them ?
(Student had no answer.)
Professor: Science says you have 5 Senses you use to identify and observe the
world around you. Tell me, son, have you ever seen GOD?
Student : No, sir.
Professor: Tell us if you have ever heard your GOD?
Student : No , sir.
Professor: Have you ever felt your GOD, tasted your GOD, smelt your GOD?
Have you ever had any sensory perception of GOD for that matter?
Student : No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.
Professor: Yet you still believe in Him?
Student : Yes.
Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science
says your GOD doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student : Nothing. I only have my faith.
Professor: Yes, faith. And that is the problem Science has.
Student : Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
Professor: Yes.
Student : And is there such a thing as cold?
Professor: Yes.
Student : No, sir. There isn’t.
(The lecture theater became very quiet with this turn of events.)
Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat,
white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don’t have anything called cold. We
can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can’t go any further
after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe
the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the
opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.
(There was pin-drop silence in the lecture theater.)
Student : What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
Professor: Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness?
Student : You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You
can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light. But if you have no
light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness, isn’t it? In reality,
darkness isn’t. If it is, well you would be able to make darkness darker,
wouldn’t you?
Professor: So what is the point you are making, young man ?
Student : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
Professor: Flawed ? Can you explain how?
Student : Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life
and then there is death, a good GOD and a bad GOD. You are viewing the
concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science
can’t even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never
seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of
life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing.
Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor,
do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?
Professor: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of
course, I do.
Student : Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?
(The Professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the
argument was going.)
Student : Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and
cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor. Are you not
teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?
(The class was in uproar.)
Student : Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?
(The class broke out into laughter. )
Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it,
touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the
established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that
you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your
lectures, sir?
(The room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face
unfathomable.)
Professor: I guess you’ll have to take them on faith, son.
Student : That is it sir … Exactly ! The link between man & GOD is FAITH. That
is all that keeps things alive and moving.

By the way, that student was EINSTEIN.

Words of truth and comfort written thousands of years ago, and still true today. 🙏❤️🙏

Psalm 91 piano instrumental Inspiring God's people for thousands of years, I was inspired to make a Psalm 91 music video during the 2020 shutdown. Enjoy.

Who knew?

Did you know that the DNA molecule has the name Yahweh written on it? The DNA molecule is a double helix 🧬, consisting of 2 major segmented strands that spiral clockwise. These strands are connected by sulfur bridges, like the rungs of a ladder. These bridges are not evenly spaced along the molecule, but they do have a specific pattern. There’s a bridge, then 10 segments later there’s another one. Then 5 segments later another one, then 6 segments another one, then 5 segments later another bridge. This 10-5-6-5 pattern is then repeated over and over again for the entire length of the molecule. This is particularly interesting when viewed with the Hebrew language. In Hebrew, the numbers 10-5-6-5 correspond to the letters Y-H-W-H, which is the name for God, Yahweh. The God who created our very DNA signed his name in every DNA molecule to let us know that we are His. He created us, and then he signed his name in our very DNA.

What’s even more remarkable is that Hebrew is a pictorial language as well. Each letter represents an image or concept. Specifically, the Y represents “Behold”, the H represents “a hand”, and the W represents “a nail.” So altogether, the name YHWH is saying, “Behold the nail in my hand.” Not only is our DNA telling us that we belong to God, but it is telling us who that God is. He is the one with the nail in his hands, the one who died for our sins, he is none other than Jesus Christ. Jesus IS God. He is the one who created us. Even at the beginning of creation, when he was still creating our DNA, he knew that we would mess up and need a savior. He knew that he would have to come and take the nails in his hands and die for our sins. Before we ever messed up, he was already thinking about how he could redeem us and bring us back home!

Some people say they don’t believe in God, they believe in “science.” But here is science telling us through DNA that we were not only created by God, but that that God is none other than Jesus Christ! Jesus loves us so much. “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16)

Word.
Love the Lord Your God

6 These are the commands, decrees and laws the Lord your God directed me to teach you to observe in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess, 2 so that you, your children and their children after them may fear the Lord your God as long as you live by keeping all his decrees and commands that I give you, and so that you may enjoy long life. 3 Hear, Israel, and be careful to obey so that it may go well with you and that you may increase greatly in a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the Lord, the God of your ancestors, promised you.

4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.[a] 5 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6 These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.

Nice reminder for those that call him Abba-Father, and the more I rejoice, pray and give thanks, the closer I get to HIM and it results in peace that’s beyond all understanding. That’s why I surround myself with His Word. Join me in the heavenly places today and “get your worship on”. Check out one of the first songs I wrote during the shutdown of 2020. It’s right out of 1 Corinthians 13- the definition of love. A big thanks to Sherry Dawn Seiler
for bringing it from a home recording with average vocals to a professionally recorded production with amazing vocals. Thank you Kimberly Krege Florio for your support and backup vocals. Thank you James Dale Cory for the encouragement you gave during recording the songs in your studio, and for your production skills! Check out the music video here.

#10 of the The Commandments

#9 of the Ten Commandments

#8 of the Ten Commandments

Check out one of our reviews:
"7 Fold's well crafted original songs and narration tell the story of one girl's dawning awareness that God is active in all our lives. It will encourage others who's traumas and trials have left them tempted to doubt God's presence, love, and power to work all things together for our good. They share the story with excellent songs, beautiful harmonies, and passion coming from God-touched lives."

Psalm 91 inspired me to create an instrumental music video during the shutdown of 2020. This was the first of over 20 songs composed, including 7Fold’s “Only One” production. Check out the music video here: https://youtu.be/bl2QuzsTP1k

Next Saturday in New Port Richey!

Everyone needs a “come to Jesus” moment in their life…. When was your’s? Mine was at 21 years old and life has never been the same. All I did was say “yes” to the gift of salvation and I turned to God and He did the rest. You can listen to the whole story on the 7Fold website; www.7Fold.band
