Philosophical and natural-law-based proofs of God

At some stage, everyone who thinks about life on this earth asks themselves the question: where did it all come from? Two possible answers come into view: Did this huge universe and the many complex and varied life-forms on this planet develop solely from matter over millions of years, in a process lacking any planning and intelligence, and without any sort of goal or purpose? Or is there an intelligent Creator with plan and purpose?

Turning to Jesus Christ

After all that has been said in the book “Questions―I have Always Wanted to Ask”, we must now ask how we can get access to the Bible. How can the uninitiated read and understand the Bible? After an evangelistic meeting a young intellectual came for counselling, honestly wanting to understand the Bible.

Psalm 23—from the vantage point of Heaven

TRANSLATOR‘S INTRODUCTION:

It was both a privilege and a moving experience to translate this free adaptation of Psalm 23 from the perspective of eternity, below.

The creation hyperbola

THE BIBLE does not leave us in the dark about how God created the world and all life, i.e. the general principles by which this took place. A recurring question concerns the time needed for the creation of everything. Here, too, God informs us very clearly and unambiguously.

How much forgiveness is possible with God?

During a lecture, a woman interrupted me with the question: “Can some­one who has murdered 1,000 others be forgiven?” From the tone of her voice, it was already clear to me that it was a loaded question.

Checkmate

A chessmaster was visiting an art gallery, where his gaze fell upon a painting that fascinated him. It depicted a young man who was playing chess with the Devil. The face of the enemy bore an air of victory, while the young man’s face betrayed panic. The painting was titled ‘Check­mate’.

A true stork story

I would have regarded this true story as having been invented, had I not personally witnessed it.

Hell - no place for a family reunion

After one lecture a young woman came up to me and explained that she definitely did not want to be converted to Jesus. Her reasoning aston­ished me:

Title in German: "Schlussfolgerungen aus den Naturgesetzen der Information (Teil 1)" (siee also part 2)

Scientific laws of information and their implications (Part 1)

The grand theory of atheistic evolution posits that matter and energy alone have given rise to all things, including biological systems. To hold true, this theory must attribute the existence of all information ultimately to the interaction of matter and energy without reference to an intelligent or conscious source.

Title in German: "Schlussfolgerungen aus den Naturgesetzen der Information (Teil 2)" (see also part 1)

Scientific laws of information and their implications (Part 2)

Evolution could only occur if the possibility existed that information could arise by itself out of matter. Those who believe that evolution is a plausible concept believe in a “perpetuum mobile of information”.

Annie of Tharau is the one I do love. 
She is my life, my riches above.

Has given to me in love and in pain. 
Annie of Tharau, my most precious bud. 
You are my soul, my flesh and my blood.

Can mutations create new information?

by Robert W. Carter

In the same way that species are not static, neither are genomes. They change over time; sometimes randomly, sometimes in preplanned pathways, and sometimes according to instruction from pre-existing algorithms. Irrespective of the source, we tend to call these changes ‘mutations’.

In this system God is not the omnipotent Lord of all things, whose Word has to be taken seriously by all men, but He is integrated into the evolutionary philosophy. This leads to 10 dangers for Christians.

Professor Dawkins describes his computer programs, written in Basic and later in Pascal, using words such as ‘mutation’, ‘generation’, ‘selection’, and so on. But he does not inform us just what the sentences actually represent. They might represent genes, proteins, operons or genomes, although from the context and from other publications an expressed gene is most likely.

Hell's best kept secret

In the late seventies, God very graciously opened an itinerant ministry to me. As I began to travel, I found that I had access to church growth records, and found to my horror that something like 80 to 90% of those making a decision for Christ were falling away from the faith. That is, modern evangelism with its methods is creating something like 80 to 90 of what we commonly call backsliders for every hundred decisions for Christ.
