4 Step Perfect Proof for God of the Bible

Above All Other Claims on the Uncreated Creator

 

"And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart" (Jer. 29.13). If you don't search God with all your heart, that explains why you haven't found Him yet. "For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, 'even' his everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without excuse" (Rom 1.20) -- i.e., observing the undeniable law of cause and effect in nature, what it reveals, and the exponential progression of conscience. When you atheists are turned into paper so we can print more Bibles on you, natural selection will have fulfilled its purpose through you and then, you will be resurrected for Hell.

 

 

According to pure logic, a non-believer (atheist) writes "that this calculation [Step 1] tells us that we are moving from more to less sin and concludes that since we have not reached the state of ultimate sinlessness then it must be the case that there was not an eternity of past causes and effects. The argument is deductively valid." (Arturo from think the secular playground) 

 

These basic 4 steps have not changed since the beginning. Certain clarifying words have been adopted out of courtesy to help the many who have tried desperately to disprove the singularly most awesome perfect proof for God. "The message God delivered through the angels has always proved true" (Heb. 2.2).

 

If you would like to make an attempt to disprove the proof for God, there is a forum where you can do so. $10,000 in U.S. dollars (getting cheaper by the day) has been reserved and offered to the first person who can disprove God's proof of Himself. Thousands have tried but failed. Since I am a child of God and thus, set before God with authority in His kingdom and bound for heaven, you can't ask for a better arbitrator. "Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven" (Matt. 18.18). The proof of God has been loosed on Earth so it is loosed in heaven: well approved! Lots of attempts have been made on the forums, and also, read here.

 

SUMMARY OF THE 4 STEPS PROVING GOD OF THE BIBLE

 

Be clear on this. The proof has always been known. Moses knew it. Abraham knew it. And Abel knew it. What did they know? They knew what Adam knew, Cain knew and what Judas knew, except these latter three didn't care enough and preferred to self-exalt themselves above God.


 Step 1 - Exponential Progression of Conscience Disallows an Eternity of the Past of Cause and Effects in the natural realm

 

If there had been an eternity of the past of cause and effects, we would have had nearly an eternity to be perfected without sin (along the exponential progression of conscience), but since we still sin (more than would be the case), we know there was not an eternity of the past of cause and effects. And thus we know we were created by uncreated God of the Bible, given Christ for none can compare!

 

Psychological studies can be done to verify in just these past 6000 years the exponential progression of the conscience of mankind, that it will not take a billion, let alone a million or even another 6000 years to reach a near state of sinlessness: God working in long transitions from the OT period of 4000 years to the dispensation of grace of 2000 years, eventually reaching the kingdom of 1000 years. Each period exhibits a new grace.

 

For example, throwing children as sacrifices into the fiery mouth of the Molech-type god is virtually non-existent today as many nations once did in the past. Israel got rid of some of those evil nations like the Philistines. Other such evil societies include the Talismanics, Mayans, Incas, Aztecs, TaoTuoKongs, Egyptians, Romans, Persians and many others. Human sacrifices were quite prevalent among the nations in antiquity.

 

The only place you really see this today is in Islam, teaching their kids to be suicide mass-murderers, but even though brainwashed it is voluntary. There are lots of data points to prove the exponential progression of conscience, e.g. women can vote now just this past century, more democracies than ever before, murder rate (and crime rate) per capita have continued to drop precipitously through the centuries. Cannibalism, slavery and polygamy are against the law. A Hindu practice whereby a widow immolates herself on the funeral pyre of her husband is now abolished by law.

 

It was the impact of Christianity that put a stop to these things, because Jesus came to earth, died on the cross and was resurrected which pricks your conscience. What will come in place of a Christian society? Though man is dead in his spirit to God, the conscience of his spirit does retain still some functioning because as soon as Adam ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil his intuition and communion died completely towards God, but his power of distinguishing good and evil (which is the function of conscience) was increased.

 

(if you have some good examples of exponential progression of conscience and scientific studies to back it up, submit them here.)

 Step 2 - EVERYTHING IN NATURE HAS A CAUSE SO THE UNIVERSE CAN'T CAUSE ITSELF

 

Scientists believe nothing in nature-space or time-happens all by itself. It always has a cause. We have trillions of things to substantiate this fact, but nothing to conclusively show otherwise. Therefore, since nature must always have a cause and time can't cause itself, the only possibility that exists we can conclude and fits is the uncreated Created who is Jesus since none can compare to Christ. You are welcome to compare Jesus to any figure in history.

 

Don't let the cunning and hucksters try to deceive you by saying what is true of Newtonian and Einsteinian physics is not true of Quantum physics just because of its complexity. You can catch a person in the act selling their snake oil and fuzzy logic when they desperately argue for their puff-the-magic-dragon assumption something can happen all by itself in nature. It really is quite disingenuous to pick the most complicated of subjects (Quantum mechanics) which humans know so very little about.

 

It would be mindlessly belligerent to profess something happens all by itself such as radioactive decay by self-declaring nothing is the cause of it when we observe decay by natural processes in less complicated observable phenomena. If you can't prove it, it is better to be humble and non-overassuming. Don't be so arrogant to think it happens all by itself without a cause, for that goes contrary to everything we do observe in the natural world. Realize you are just not smart enough to determine the cause yet. Scientists don't close up shop just because they don't yet know the cause to something in nature!

STEP 3 - DON'T MISREPRESENT GOD OF THE BIBLE

 

If you want to try to disprove the Proof, do not try to disprove some god, but keep your issues directed at God of the Bible. Stay on topic. The reason Step 3 is vitally part of the Proof is because this error of misrepresenting God of the Bible is so ridiculously profuse, e.g. accusing the Israelites of defending themselves and annihilating tribes of people in Canaan that no longer exist today whom generation after generation refused to stop the practice of human sacrifices. Those tribes no longer exist, their practices have obviously been stopped, whereas Israel remains and succeeded to show forth God's power and justice, with only 318 fighting men (Gen. 14.14).

 

Israel was used by God to eradicate such evil where generation after generation even a small remnant would still continue to practice human sacrifices and other corruptible behavior. Interestingly, because Israel did not fulfill their mission many times, they incurred many heartaches by constant attacks from neighboring tribes. It is a fact that if Israel did not defend itself, it would no longer exist today. Canaan was a battle zone. The fruits of the land of milk and honey would go to a God fearing people only!

 

When you talk about the Crusades or Inquisition, realize that is not Christian, but men of the world falsely using the Word of God. Where did Jesus do such things? To simplify it for you, keep to the Minimal Facts Approach. This simply means you can put aside discussion about the inerrancy of the Bible for the time being to focus just on what most skeptical scholars agree about Paul and the disciples, for Christianity all hinges on the resurrection. Most skeptical scholars concede the disciples believed they saw Jesus resurrected, so if you are unable to find an alternative explanation that fits the known data, then you are unwittingly admitting Jesus is God. Gary R. Habermas, leading scholar on the resurrection, has recorded by quoting what most skeptical scholars from the past half century believe. They have been unable to find a viable natural explanation for the resurrection accounts.

 

The resurrection appearances in various group settings is the best proof you can ask for that Jesus is God, so take this as the Last Warning (the intent of Rev. 22) for your salvation or condemnation. "He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God" (John 3.18).

 Step 4 - EXPONENTIAL PROGRESSION OF CONSCIENCE ALSO DISALLOWS AN ETERNITY OF THE PAST OUTSIDE THE NATURAL REALM

 

the perspective from the natural to prove the supernatural uncreated Creator was given in Step 1 and Step 2. Using the same data set (evidence) of the exponential progression of conscience from the past six millennia, we can apply the same principle to the supernatural to conclude whether there has been an eternity of the past of cause and effects outside the natural realm.

 

The finding is there could not have been an eternity of the past of cause and effects of gods creating gods (or supernatural things causing supernatural things) because you would have been derived from that past of eternity, thus approximating to it, and deemed as such. You certainly would not need 13.7 billion years to reach near sinlessness. Therefore, know you were created by the Trinity since none can compare to Christ in what He did for you on the cross and by His resurrection and ascension.

 

The 4 STEP PROOF FOR GOD OF THE BIBLE ONLY!

All known queries, hundreds in fact, are answered in the details of the Proof itself.

Most people are going to Hell because they want to as the Bible says, you're "without excuse" (Rom. 1.20).

 

INTRODUCTION

 

The Proof does not go directly to the Scriptures first to begin Step 1, but uses the dictionary definition of sin: "any reprehensible or regrettable action, behavior, lapse, etc.; great fault or offense: It's a sin to waste time" (definition 3). Notice no mention of God is made or even assumed. And "to commit or perform sinfully: He sinned his crimes without compunction" (definition 6). Observe how crimes are crimes because the underlying cause is sinfulness. There is no point in reading further if you don't have a conscience to recognize sin exists. It requires you have at least a partially working conscience (which all men and women do). Therefore, to not understand this basic point is not because of intelligence or lack of intelligence, but the choice to be obstinate and belligerent. It is your choice to shut your mind down and willfully possess a corrupted conscience and darkened mind to not even recognize sin exists. Just look upon history to know that it is so.

 

We don't need to analyze the cosmos till the cows come home with grand theories. What can be known today should not change our decision from what mankind knew centuries ago. We can understand God created in 4 easy steps (logically and by what is intuitively revealed to all of us). There are other ways to prove God, many in fact, in taking the total of the evidence, but this Proof is strictly based on logic delivered by a renewed mind in Christ so it affects even the most heathen types, particularly because it is not subjective but objective in nature. Demanding inordinate analysis and attempting mental gymnastics are vanity to make the case God created. The reason we study the sciences is not to find out if God exists but for the sake of understanding scientific phenomenon to glorify God. In our understanding of certain facts to fulfill His will for our lives and His greater purpose, He afford us this ability to understand by grace for believers and common grace too all for the benefit of believers to reach on towards the new city in the new earth. His aim is to be with those who love Him for eternity.

 

Analyzing the universe falsely and overassuming are just the lame excuses, refusing God's salvation because of preferring sin, selfishness and independency from God by emulating Satan. Do not be afraid to let go of your flesh on the cross while reading the Proof to be saved by grace through faith in the risen the Lord Jesus Christ. At any moment you may be convicted and convinced, born-again in an instant. We are all made in God's image (Gen. 1.26,27) with a spirit of God-consciousness and all intuitively know God of the Bible is our uncreated Creator, except many choose to not repentantly receive His sacrifice for our sins. Smokescreens which are intellectually dishonest to cover up the underlying motivation to remain in sin are easily exposed. All God is looking for from you is sincerity and an honest heart for the truth of the evidence, no matter how much it upsets your preconceived notions and feelings. Those in the kingdom of heaven are not free of blame. Many in Christendom have said there is no Proof for God and must be taken on blind faith. Faith in Christ is never blind but proven. Whereas atheism, agnosticism and any other religion are based on blind faith. There is more than one Proof for God, but I find what you are about to read is the very best one, which has received no challengers at all since the dawn of man.

 

Step 1 - Exponential Progression of Conscience Disallows an Eternity of the Past of Cause and Effects

 

Why is eternally evolving in the past of cause and effects impossible in the natural physical realm of material, whether biologically or non-biologically, organically or non-organically? (Do not confuse this question with whether evolution is true or not, since we are not denying the physical science of evolution that looks at physical changes since the amoeba or prokaryote.) The reason is because if for eternity things have been evolving, by this definition of evolving (in cause and effects), you would have had an eternity to be perfected (effectively sinless), irrespective of when you personally started in the evolving chain. According to calculus, the approximation to eternity is taken as eternity. The same holds true for heat death which would be far greater than it is now.

 

Evolution (the study of the physical developments of species since the amoeba which has its limits) is not towards perfection for evolution is just a limited way of man understanding natural selection. It does not address or make treatment of the spiritual and the soulical. These areas of man's being are beyond its scope; but, evolving (a term relating to cause and effect) has a more encompassing and expansive meaning because it observes not only all cause and effects in evolution, but all quantum and cosmological cause and effects prior to the first single-celled organism. Let us not be so restrictive in our petty selves or vague with words by being unspecific. Therefore, do not confuse the definitions employed here for evolving and evolution which have been differentiated and were provided for the sake of clarity. 

 

If such evolving (of causes and effects) was going on for an eternity of the past, we easily would have been perfected by now, having ample time to do so along the pathway of an exponential progression of conscience. This is depicted in the first chart. The second chart shows the mistaken view of an eternity of past of cause and effects. There is a difference between the perfection of the saints and the perfection of the unsaved. Perfection of the unsaved? Even the unsaved exhibit an improvement in conscience, but since they reject Christ for their salvation which is an eternal choice, they are condemned to Hell for all eternity. They won't change their mind later after they are resurrected. This is how profound new birth is.

 

 

We should consider longer time periods over more than a hundred years and perhaps several millennia to notice discernable changes in the backdrop of 13.7 billion years. Shorter time periods are much more choppy. The Bureau of Justice Statistics provides The National Crime Victimization Survey dating back to 1973. In this chart we see a slight decrease from the 70's to 80's in violent crimes per capita, and then a marked decrease since 1995. This is an exponential increase in conscience, but who is to say the next 20 or 30 years could not see a temporary spike, because of economic woes?

 

 

The assumption by many unsaved souls is that the universe has always been going on in the past for eternity. Many unsaved cosmologists and evolutionists believe this and have repeatedly told me so. Therefore if this is true, what must follow is that you have also had an eternity to be perfected but since you are not, this proves that such evolving eternally in the past is incorrect. Obviously, you are still a sinner and make mistakes.

 

Clear evidence exists for the exponential progression of conscience over the past 6000 years since the first Adamic man (the first man with God-consciousness). We have changed and matured in leaps and bounds. Very likely we will not need another 6000 years to be perfected. We do not need to know all that is entailed being perfected, only that it is nearly without sin. Since we put people in jail for crimes, we know at least some sin has consequence. The mention of it does not presume God first.

 

One observes an exponential curve in our development, not just technologically, but also in our conscience which is undeniable. For example, it is no longer common practice, except in Islam, to sacrifice their own children on altars to their god or gods. In a very simple way we can say it this way: we will not keep killing each other for millions of years. By common grace for all there is an exponential improvement in conscience, but the unsaved still reject Christ. Hence, the need for Hell to be eternally separated from God because that is what they want deep down inside.

 

We can go down a long list of examples showing us an exponential progression in conscience, but we want to emphasize the Minimal Facts Approach which allows us to find common ground with skeptical scholars and using only what they concede to prove Jesus is God and God is uncreated.

 

Another example is slavery. Just these past two centuries we see slavery is no longer even permitted, but in ancient times it was deemed manageable for the period due to economic challenges in organizing human affairs. Just this past century, women can vote. Democracies are much more common now. Since we can't find a regression to show otherwise, may this be considered strong evidence that the Uncreated created, since we would not still be sinning now if there was an eternity of the past of cause and effects. Polygamy is not legal. Can you think of some other examples? What ever comparison you find ensure that it is comparing apples to apples across all centuries.

 

Satan and his pawns will try to disprove the Proof with an increase per capita in the crime rate, murder rate, war, insensitivity towards women, slavery, even trying to bring back child sacrifices in some way, e.g. Mohammed's Koran, in Islam, teaching its children to blow themselves up as suicide mass-murderers. While the latter is voluntary, the ancient ritual was forced upon people.

 

The pre-endemic or pre-adamic period is considered the "dust" of the ground (Gen. 2.7). It will do nothing for your spirit and your life in Christ for it can not explain first cause. It will always fall short of the glory of God. Man can not know all God's ways, nor does God need you to know anything about the "dust" to form man's body to be saved. If you knew it all, then you would be God and would not need to be saved, but God gloriously saves without you needing to know all things. And only the smart people would be saved if you needed to know so much, but recall "that God is no respecter of persons" (Acts 10.34).


Step 2 - EVERYTHING IN NATURE HAS A CAUSE SO THE UNIVERSE CAN'T CAUSE ITSELF

 

If, in response, an unsaved evolutionist, cosmologist, atheist or agnostic (thinly veiled atheism since a non-choice is still a rejection of God because it is not an acceptance) comes to you and says the big bang (or other natural means) is the beginning, again, that is false also since material (nature) doesn't happen all by itself. There is always a cause to the effects in nature. Nothing in nature happens all by itself. Material (or the smallest of particles) only knows how to react to the elements and environment (or other small particles, waves, strings, quarks). It does not make a choice. But God does choose, and He chose for a reason.

 

Non-Relational Compositions

 

Some are quick to misread Step 2, carelessly making illogical statements such as: "The fact that parts of nature have causes does not mean that the universe as an aggregate has a cause. You have to prove this by showing that the property of causality is not relational." This statement is illogical.

 

First, Step 2 does not say some "parts of nature," for the all the splendors of nature have causes, given the fact that not even one thing in nature is seen to be without a cause. This would put the probability against the atheist/agnostic greater than a trillion to one, since there are more than a trillion things that have a cause, but not even one thing in nature is shown to be without a cause. Scientifically and logically we may conclude Pascal's wager holds true, that there are lots of gamblers out there who prefer to be independent of God just like fallen Lucifer and are holding out for a miracle against God. Even if they were so smart to know everything except one last thing in the universe, would they be so arrogant to say this one last thing could still possibly disprove God's existence? That's absurdity. Weirdly enough, the atheist is saying he has to be God to know if God exists. It's crazy I know, but that is effectively what he is saying. No right minded person could agree to such a way of thinking.

 

Second, if the universe and time are without a cause and continued to exist in the eternity of the past in causes and effects, then this simply reverts us back up to Step 1 which shows why there can not be an eternity of the past of causes and effects. Therefore, there must be exist the uncreated or uncaused cause. And given the nature of this God, He is God of the Bible shown forth in the life of Christ, which none can compare. "In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God and the Word is God" (John 1.1). Jesus is the Word.

 

Third, it does not stand to reason to say you have to show "causality is not relational." All causality is relational to their effects. The burden of the proof is on the person who rejects the law of cause and effects to show causality is not relational. Remember in the Matrix when the Merovingian made the statement all things have a cause and effect. Hence, since time and matter can't cause themselves and are always seen to have a cause, but the universe can't always have been existing, logically there is only one available known choice which is the uncreated created.

 

Four, everything has its own particular composition, and we have seen every composition always has a cause. If this were not true, you would have at least some shred of evidence to suggest otherwise instead of vague allusions. It is disingenuous to take the most complicated of all the compositions in the universe then claim it has no cause. Why would the composition of the universe as a whole be any different than the evidence we find for the compositions within the whole needing a cause? Contrary to what was suggested by the atheistic quote, you don't need to show the greater composition is not relational to the inner compositions unless you are trying to posit that something happens all by itself like magic. But even if you could show this, it still doesn't follow necessarily that the universe or something in the universe happens all by itself. It only shows you don't know what the specific cause is yet. Not knowing what the cause is doesn't mean the uncreated is not the ultimate first cause.

 

Five, time can't cause itself, so even though time did not exist before the creation, this is no barrier to the uncreated Creator intelligently designing. Like Spock said, if all known possibilities are impossible, what we deemed impossible must in fact be true. How can the infinitely uncreated be limited by time and not be allowed to bring time into being? Makes no sense. That which is infinite is greater than all things even time.

 

Six, if causes outside the composition and causes inside a composition have no relation so nothing outside the composition would be the cause for the causes in the composition, what then? You are still left with the uncreated Creator creating both the composition outside and inside, because nothing can just happen all by itself as there is no evidence to suggest such a thing could ever even happen. Let us just go with the known preponderance of evidence and let the chips fall where they may. Try to avoid fantasy and speculations, because once you start assuming things you need no evidence for whatsoever, assumptions beget assumptions and sin begets sin. That is what Satan is after, to increase sin.

 

Seven, even if you were able to show a non-relational outside composition to the aggregate universal causation in nature, you are still left with the problem of an eternity of the past of causes for that composition outside the universe, which is impossible as explained by Step 4.

 

You can say the universe has no cause, but then the universe would have always been existing which violates Step 1. The Word of God is "sharper than any twoedged sword [sword here means the Spirit of truth]" (Heb. 4.12).

 

The atheist or agnostic (unregenerate) tries to impose a Fallacy of Composition to convince himself cause and effect do not apply in what preceded to cause the creation of the universe, but there is no basis for this theory as was shown under the seven problems related to Non-Relational Compositions. But then out of sheer desperation, the unregenerate suggests a "causelessness" (in place of God Himself) outside the known composition of the evolving universe that causes the universe. However, this directly contradicts their previous attempt to argue for a fallacy of composition for either an eternity of the past of cause and effects or something happening all by itself. Notice how the atheist plays both sides of the fence when it suits his need. He is fickle and will shift his position for the sole sake of rejecting Christ Jesus. Indeed the causelessness must exist, but by comparison we are left with only the personal Triune God of the Bible because none can compare to Christ, nor provide a naturalistic explanation for the resurrection data.

 

STEP 3 - DON'T MISREPRESENT GOD OF THE BIBLE

 

The next trick that a charlatan evolutionist or cosmologist (as apposed to a regenerated one) does in being intellectually dishonest with himself is he asks, "why can't God have a creator?" The answer is given in Step 4.

 

Many questions are put towards God of the Bible such as, why do bad things happen?  Because man is fallen, sin came into the world, and Adam was locked out of the garden, the one sure and safe place for man that was given to him by God. Sin has consequences. This fact flows from the fact that God created as proven in the first two steps. God the Son came to redeem the world and man.

 

But, praise God, He will not let atrocities go on forever even though to us it sure seems like it has been going on for a long time in man's tiny perspective. But in the backdrop of 13.7 billion years, a couple thousand years is less than a grain of sand on earth.

 

Nothing occurs by chance. Only we say it is by chance, because we can't fathom the cause and effect relationship, even after it happened, because it is beyond our current capacity to understand. God has infinite foreknowledge and properly responds to all futures occurrences.

 

The Bible was written over 1500 years by 40 spiritual men of God.

 

When you claim someone or something created God then you are no longer talking about God of the Bible, but perhaps a god or idol or something in your imagination. Never does God of the Bible have a cause to Himself in His Triune Being. Jesus always claimed to be equal with the Father, that is, equally uncreated in the One Being of the Trinity. In this Proof we, we are addressing the only God who is Eternal and has perfect clarity, wisdom, righteousness, holiness, in His omnipotent, immutable (unchanging), transcendent, omniscience and immensity. He is incapable of sinning for that goes against His very nature. Not once has He ever sinned in the 66 books of God's Word. The Godhead is God the Father, God the Son, God the Spirit.

 

Step 4 - EXPONENTIAL PROGRESSION OF CONSCIENCE ALSO DISALLOWS AN ETERNITY OF THE PAST OUTSIDE THE NATURAL REALM

 

But there is yet another and final twist of hostility and independency from God. "Ok, so a lesser god created, so why can't he have a creator, and a creator create that creator"? Because this presupposes an eternity of the past of creating gods and things in the supernatural. But you would not still be sinning by now for the same reason cited in Step 1.

 

The Heavens

 

God's creation includes the heavens: Paradise above (1st Heaven), realm of fallen spirits (2nd Heaven), and our universe (3rd Heaven). God also created timeless unawares (called Hades, Sheol or Paradise below). Hades is not considered heaven. The good side of Hades, once called Paradise, is in fact, Abraham's bosom. Christians will experience the Judgment Seat before the 1000 years, when we are resurrected from the good side of Hades. The bad side of Hades is where the unsaved go when they die. They will be resurrected to the Great White Throne to be judged and cast into Hell after the millennial kingdom for all eternity.

 

Sin Problem Solved in Christ Alone

 

If God is uncreated why can't something else, anything else, be uncreated? Do a comparison to this "anything else" with Jesus Christ. There is no comparison. Christ wins hands down every time given His nature, conduct and proof of resurrection. The worse thing you can do at this point is to shut your mind and say something like this: "no one yet has made sense of the incarnation." If so, why is it that those who are saved, understand easily enough?

 

We know sin needs payment and is not allowed to go unchecked. we see this every day in the world. There are consequences to the law of cause and effect of sin. For example, if you murder someone, you go to jail. Thus, the only solution to prevent the second death (spiritual separation from God in Hell) is the perfect sacrifice of Jesus who broke into the world to be the propitiation substitute for our sins. Sin leads to death because the flesh is utterly corruptible and can not be fixed or refined, though we try. We know the old man must die because sin entered. Sin not absolved and the spirit not regenerated (quickened) with God's life, leads to the second death (eternal separation from God), which is countered by the new birth (born-again), the second birth (spiritual birth), which makes us a new creation. In the old creation that developed after Adam's fall, Adam never attained in the garden what those who are saved have  since he never ate of the tree of life which typifies Christ.

 

The first God-conscious man was the first Adam. Jesus is the second Adam or the last Adam. Unto Him perfection is attainable. He is the firstfruits of many who will be pillars in the New City of the New Earth without sin. God and the Lamb will be the center of the New City (Rev. 22.1,3,4). To be included in God's new creation, first you will need give up your self-centered directed life for the leading of God's will for your life which the Holy Spirit will show you after you first receive the gift of salvation and eternal life which is promised to all who would receive Him (John 3.16,18). Only then can you begin to grow in spiritual life as a spiritual man or woman. You can see the need for Hell to keep those who are going there away from God's own sons and daughters.

 

The perfect sacrifice could only be God Himself in His Son. Thus, before the foundations of the world, God set out His plan in His infinite foreknowledge in the way of the Lord. You will know no greater peace, love, joy, patience and comfort: "the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, self-control" (Gal. 5.22,23).

 

We are grateful to God through His wisdom and revelation for the 4 Step Proof for God that not only proves God exists, but undeniably points to the Trinity of God the Father, God the Son and God the Spirit in the 66 books of the Word of God (the Bible).

 

The Case for Faith, The Case for Christ, and The Case for the Creator by Lee Strobel will answer every vital question you have. The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus by Gary R. Habermas will solve all pertinent aspects surrounding the resurrection of Jesus.

 

To annihilate the image of God is impossible. We are all made in the image of God. Where else can God send you if you don't receive His loving payment for your sins?

 

YET ANOTHER Contention

 

Some have tried to surmise God being eternal would have ended up creating man at some point which would approximate eternity of the past. So they say the implication of this are as follows: man is not perfect (because of sin still present), therefore, there is no God since man was created in the proximity to eternity of the past of God as calculus states is the equivalent of eternity. The answer to this contention is that (1) since it is God's prerogative to create, our existence comes into being when He wills it; (2) there is not time in God for He operates outside of time, so as far as we know, time began when the universe began about 13.7 billion years ago, not in a supposed eternity of the past; and (3) God precedes man, so there was an eternal difference between God's existence and when man was created.

 

CYCLES THEORY

 

(1) If we are derived from the never ending past of cycles, then within this cycle we are in now, we would have already attained sinlessness in the saved at least because of the exponential progression of conscience these past 6000 years. This cycle is so large, at least 13.7 billion years, it approximates infinity. (2) There still remains the scientific finding that nothing in nature happens all by itself, but always has a cause. Therefore, there can not be an infinity of the past of cause and effects. (3) Cycles are meaningless and without purpose to deaden your conscience further. (4) Scientists agree the universe will not implode because all it has ever been doing is expanding at an exponential rate. (5) If there were cycles, it doesn't matter how dissipated any cycle may get, for there is still energy which never becomes useless energy. Just because we don't know how to make use of it presently does not mean it is useless energy. We would not cease to exist in dissipated energy or in being transformed from one cycle to the next. (6) Cycles theories do not reflect God of the Bible. Remember, the Proof is about God of the Bible!

 

ALIEN THEORY

 

You might even want to say aliens brought us here or caused us even though there is no evidence for this idea. You have to ask what caused them since they did not create themselves. Know the uncreated created. Would a loving Creator leave His creation unattended to fall into alien hands? Would God allow any created being to create sentient beings? Studies have been done on over 150 necessary variables for life to exist, divided into the number estimated planets in the universe. After all is said and done, the probability of life on another planet is less than 1 in a million (see The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus, 2000, by Gary R. Habermas). Go buy a lottery ticket and see if you win one million dollars. And Journey Towards Creation by Hugh Ross (video) shows there are 200 variables which concludes it is impossible for life to exist on another planet in the universe at all.

 

conclusion

 

The reason why unregenerates outside the kingdom of heaven can't sense or reason out that these 4 Steps are true is because God has not given it to them to be able to understand. God will not enter a man who willingly puts a wall up between himself and God. The intuition, communion and conscience of their spirit is dead to God by their own volition, full of excuses and intellectually dishonest smokescreens: e.g. accusing Christians of being afraid of death when most Christians never even come to Christ thinking of death.

 

An unregenerate is unable to know he has a sin nature because he is lost in his fallen nature of his old man due to the fact that he wants to remain in the old creation. As the One says in the movie Matrix, "the problem is CHOICE"! Those who take the red pill realize this. They don't realize it fully until they come out of the Matrix onto the other side which is true reality. Those who remain in the matrix of their sin nature and the world (Satan is the god of this world), have this "unspoken, subterranean motivation", The Case for Faith by Lee Strobel, p. 244. Gary Habermas records 39 ancient source of Jesus Christ, citing 100 facts. 7 of those sources are secular. Read The Spiritual Man by Watchman Nee. Read the Bible. What man cannot do though God can do!

 

Fallen man, still unregenerate, is so arrogant, he acts and thinks as though he created himself and is the center of the universe. This is the pride of life! Pride begets the fall. What strange faith this is to believe in atheism/agnosticism, yet have no basis or valid reason for doing so. Isn't that called blind faith? All those who are born-again had the same blind faith before accepting the way, the truth and the life in Christ Jesus in which we received God's uncreated life by His saving grace. I was once like you before going through the door. All you need to do is knock.

 

 

Pre-Endemic Animals

 

Animals are cursed (Rom. 8.19-22) today by man's sin in the world. Man was responsible to rule over the whole world and all the animals, but Adam was disobedient and became fallen. These cursed animals are not the pre-endemic animals (prior to Adam) that merely adapt to their environment and go extinct as the climate changes. However, there was such beasts overrun by other creatures due to the sin in the the pre-Adamic period, influenced by fallen Lucifer and his fallen angels that ruled over demons, cities and inhabitants of Earth's earliest ages. Man was made in God's image (Gen. 1.26) whom God created with God-consciousness in his spirit and self-consciousness in his soul. His body was formed from "dust" (Gen 2.7) from the pre-endemic period. God will raise man with a resurrected body on the last day just as was Christ was witnessed to have been raised from the dead with a newly clothed spiritual body. We whom are saved shall receive the same for we are in Him and He is in us.

 

Animals today kill because of man's sin. This cause is even greater and more pervasive than Satan's working in the pre-endemic period before Adam. Animals kill to survive. The only difference is now, if man were still obedient to God, the killing committed by animals would not be the responsibility of man, but would be stemming from Earth's earliest ages of sin. And without Lucifer's fall, it would just be the natural order to things without the stain of sin. Now that man is awakened by the tree of knowledge of good and evil when he was not suppose to eat of its fruit, he has misused his place in creation, pillaging the earth, and aggravating the existing flow of the food chain. Could it be said that animals were possessed since the serpent was entered into by a demon in the garden? Yes. When God split the firmament on day two, it was not considered a good day like the others, because up from the deep, disembodied demons came to inhabit the bodies of human or animals. When God restored creation in the 6 days (these are representative "summary days"), it was not possible for animals to avoid those demons. And so this is why animals kill now unaturally.

 

Man was brought into this restoration around 6000 years ago, yet could have remained obedient, in being tested, by rejecting the serpent's offer; and man could have eaten of the tree of life too, gaining God's life right there and then. Man chose to rebel. There has to be put in place a redemptive design. Eventually Christ's finished work on the cross will lead us to the millennial kingdom in which the lamb will crouch next to a lion and the lion will eat grass (Isaiah 11.6-9).

 

Non-Annihilation

 

God will never extinguish the soul of man, not even in hell, because once God created man, He gave the ability of God-consciousness. He would never be unholy by annihilating man after giving him this ability, for He would never treat us as merely instrumental value. Righteously, we are considered of intrinsic value to God because God wants to walk with us one day after we have been raised up. This is what God longs for and what His whole purpose is: the new city in the new earth and what is to occur for eternity.

 

He created us because we are to Him for His good pleasure, created out of His glory to be subjected to His authority in perfect harmony. This is revealed to us by His Holy Spirit and the power of eternal life, which is His uncreated life. He has entered into our regenerated spirits to lead us through to such truths and simple intuitive knowing. We have new life which is the same new life that those under the law received, except that the Holy Spirit did not reside in them, but came upon them and moved them. The veil is not yet rent. The indwelling Holy Spirit did not commence until Christ was raised to the right hand of the Father, then gave the Holy Spirit to dwell each man who believed according to John 3.16. For we have become a royal priesthood and no longer bring our prayers to the intermediary priesthood of the Levites. The experience of Israel under the law was to show us we are utterly incapable of keeping the law which points us to Christ, the One who was able to keep the law and fill it up.

 

Men will come with many rationalizations claiming their logic is better (masking their self-exaltations before God).  Many have tried to overturn the Proof. Eventually the sun and all stars should die out but the universe will never collapse on itself for scientist today agree that dark energy is a greater force than dark matter and matter itself. Dark energy, scientifically proven, pushes outwardly expanding the universe at an exponential rate in spite of the pervasive force of gravity pressing in. It turns out that the great force of gravity ironically is weak, and also is (tentatively) the avenue through which we are raised "to the throne" (Rev. 7.9) because it seems to be seeping out of the cosmos. Scientists say this great force is dissipated as gravitrons escape through the universe to the heavens (1st and 2nd Heaven). Only God could create such a vast complexity.
