"God is dead"

-
Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900) was a German philosopher famous for coining the phrase "...God is dead and we have killed Him."

Atheists are constantly trying to murder God, but has anybody stopped to consider the implications of such action?

The consequential problems of atheism are two-fold:

  1. God has given us a conscience to tell right from wrong. When we commit wrongs we feel guilt. If there is no God then there is no relief from our guilt. If there is no God then there is no forgiveness.
  2. The majority of modern law is based on biblical principles. The very concept of right and wrong comes from God. If there is no way to deal with our guilt for things we have done wrong, no opportunity for forgiveness and no concept of morality then the difference between right and wrong becomes distorted. Mankind will slip into a wretched depravity with no way out.
Read Romans 1.

We need to be so very careful. God has given us all free-will. He is calling each and every one of us to Him. If the individual does not listen God will not overstay His welcome in the their conscience. Romans 1 tells us that God will give man up to his sinful desires and his heart shall be darkened. Once this happens it is very unlikely that the individual will be able to find his way back.

If you are not a Christian you tread dangerous ground. Read Romans 1 and think about the effects that your actions and your sins have on yourself, your relationship with God and what will happen to you after you die.

Nietzsche himself, the author of the "God is dead" quote recognised the implications of atheism: "How shall we, the murderers of all murderers comfort ourselves?... Who will wipe the blood off us? What water is there to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must not we ourselves become gods simply to seem worthy of it?"

Nietzsche the anti-God philosopher was admired and revered by Adolf Hitler. What a great example of what happens when there is no God and when a man becomes a law unto himself: The perception of right and wrong becomes violently distorted, in this case culminating in the murder of six million Jews and the majority of the world being plunged into brutal war.

E. W. Luzer states: "After God died in the nineteenth century, man died in the twentieth. For when God is dead man becomes an untamed beast".

What is that phrase Historians like to use? ... "we learn from history to not commit the same mistakes in the future..." - something like that.

Do not listen to the fools who think they are a law unto themselves. I can 100% assure you, it will end in disaster. 

14 Psalm 14:1 The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, They have done abominable works, There is none who does good."

Gospel's Explained: Mark 7:27-28

-
Mark 7:27-28: "But Jesus said to her "Let the children be filled first, for it is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs." And she answered and said to Him, "Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs from under the table eat from the children's crumbs." It is not surprising that many misinterpret what the Bible is saying. Here is a perfect example. The meaning of this passage is arguably rather hidden and needs knowledge of both the culture in Jesus' day and also a Spiritual understanding which only comes when being filled with the Holy Spirit, "our helper" ( John 14 ) (e.g is only available to God's children). On the face of it it appears that Jesus is insulting somebody by comparing them to a dog, however that is not what is happening. Jesus here is talking about Israel. Israel are God's chosen people. They have been blessed by God immensely, from the bringing about of the nation, to taking them out o

Leviticus 25: Jesus in the year of Jubilee

Leviticus 25 tells us about the year of Jubilee. The year of Jubilee occured every 50 years. There were 49 years and then the 50th year would be the Jubilee year. ( Leviticus 25:8 ). The Jubilee was known as the Sabbath of Sabbaths. It was ultimate thing, just as the inner santuary of the Tabernacle was known as the Holy of Holies, or Jesus is the King of Kings. The sabbath was the seventh day of the week. In Leviticus 25:1-7 God instructs the Israelites not only to keep the sabbath on the seventh day of the week, but also to keep the seventh year as a sabbath year of rest for the land. Leviticus 25:1-7: And the Lord spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai, saying, 2  “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘When you come into the land which I give you, then the land shall keep a sabbath to the Lord . 3  Six years you shall sow your field, and six years you shall prune your vineyard, and gather its fruit; 4  but in the seventh year there shall be a sabbath of solemn r

The Lord Giveth and the Lord taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Lord

It is safe to say that this phrase, found in Job 1:21 will be applicable to all of us at some time in our life, whether its the first half of the phrase or the second half. We live in a fallen world. The world is cursed ( Genesis 3 ). The world is full of loss, pain, sorrow, hurt, death, illness, injustice, fraud, deceit, lies, deception: the negatives are endless. Therefore it is inevitable that our lives will not always be rosy. Sometimes this is a consequence of our actions, sometimes this is the consequence of somebody else's actions, and sometimes it is simply a consequence of living on this earth. It is common to see what appeared to be at one time the strongest of Christians become deserters of God when things get tough. Oh, what an unbiblical and destructive way this is to live. When God allowed the devil to pour out evil upon Job, Job did not turn his back on God, even when his friends tried to assure him that he had a just cause to do so. Instead we read in Chapte
