The Universe Was Created By God

Con asked the most profound question ever posed by Atheism. "Pro, why should we consider the bible authoritative on matters of time or the universe?" ** Science is the study of the natural. This is not where the definitive answer lies. Religion is the study of the supernatural. This is where the answer lies. ** The Bible told the future of the world. In the Bible, God declares that the world would find freedom and blessing through Isaac. He declared the world would reap a curse from Ishmael. So what right? It goes on to tell us that the descendents of Ishmael will be violent with their hand against each other and against everyone else. Ishmael is the father of the Arabs. Ishmael later became known as the father of Islam. It tells us Ishmael's seed would be slaves to the end of days. Muslims later chose to refer to themselves as the "Slaves of Allah". Isaac's seed would be free. Isaac is the father of the Jews, Jesus, and Christians. The nations known for freedom are Christian or Israel. Asian countries are not free or democratic. Muslim nations? It's the West, Christian world that is free. ** Islam fulfills the Bible's prophetic guideline in reference to the Beast in too many improbable ways to imagine. Islam came along 700 years after the last book of the Bible was written. ** Jesus Himself gave a warning to God's children in the end of days. "So if someone tells you, 'Look, the Messiah is out in the desert,' don't bother to go or look. Or, 'Look, he is here,' do not believe it!" The Mahdi (Islamic messiah) of course, will appear in in the middle of nowhere, in the desert. http://www.islamicweb.com... ** -The Qur'an mentions that in the end of days "the Beast" will address the unbelievers and admonish them for their lack of attention towards God. https://en.m.wikipedia.org... "And when the Word is fulfilled against them, the unjust, we shall produce from the earth a beast to face them." — Qur'an, sura 27 (An-Naml), ayat 82 The Bible uses the exact term "the beast" in describing the Antichrist. https://bible.org... ** Islam- "The beast will strike the head, and it will brighten the face of the believer with the staff and “He is destined for Paradise” will be written on his forehead." https://en.m.wikipedia.org... In the Bible, the beast (Antichrist), marks the foreheads of his followers. http://www.raptureready.com... "And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded..." (Revelation 20:4) Christians are being killed in mass, targeted, and beheaded by ISIS in an event labled genocide by the U.S. government. http://www.ijreview.com... ** "Damascus will become a heap of ruins." (Isaiah 17:1) After the Syrian conflict, here is Damascus today. A heap of ruins. http://youtu.be... ** "And Jerusalem was divided into 3 parts, and the cities of the nations then began to fall." (Revelation 16:19) Jerusalem is divided into Jewish, Muslim, and Christian. http://moira.meccahosting.com... ** What is antichrist? "It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the ANTICHRIST--denying the Father and the Son." (1 John 2:22) The Quran specifically says Jesus is not the "Son of God". https://carm.org... ** "The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to bow to the IMAGE to be killed." (Revelation 13:15) The Quran commands unbelievers be killed. The punishment for apostasy is death. http://youtu.be... (Quran 2:191-193) ** "The great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the armies to cross." (Revelation 16:12) The water is dangerously low. http://youtu.be... https://www.foreignaffairs.com... * Criteria of the religion of Antichrist. -Bow to an image. (Revelation 13:15) They do. http://youtu.be... What are they actually bowing to? The black stone. (Pictures) http://www.crystalinks.com... -The image "speaks". (Revelation 13:15) "Allah wrote this confirmation. This stone opens its mouth upon the order of Allah, who put that confirmation in it." https://en.m.wikipedia.org... -Nonworship = death. (Rev 13:15) http://youtu.be... Has an "infallable prophet" who denounces Christ. http://youtu.be... Muhammed, the infallable great Prophet that cannot even be depicted denounced Christ in the Quran. ** Islamic tradition holds that the Black Stone fell from Heaven. https://en.m.wikipedia.org... (Satan fell from Heaven)(Luke 10:18) 666? Greek to Arabic. http://youtu.be... **Only one religion in history was from the seed of Ishmael, had a great infallable prophet who specifically renounced the deity of Christ, commanded beheading of Christians, hated Jews, , bowed to an image, and believed the image telepathically spoke to people and literally would speak upon the apocalypse. What are the odds? The Bible's Old Testament depicted that the battle on Earth is literally between Satan's children and God's children, between Christ and Satan. Strangely, thousands of years later the New Testament, as confirmed by Christ, depicted this battle exactly as it is today in ways no one could have known. (Genesis 3:15)Finally Christ depicted the condition of the world as that many would fall away from the faith. Atheism is on the move in all of the West and quickly. He said the world would go into economic collapse, become ungodly, have perplexing world issues, the youth would become rebellious to authority and their parents, people would begin to rebel against and mock God, and "knowledge" would be the cause. Man would become self centered, distracted from God, unloving, despisers of good, and that they would begin to call evil good and good evil bringing upon the world the iniquity of their sins, and thus the wrath of God. We know reality is composed of codes that don't just resemble computer codes, but are computer codes. We know Jesus claimed to be God in human form. We know the probability of the Bible depicting the end in such a way is unsermountable. God created everything, including the universe.Christ-"When you see these things coming upon the Earth, do not be afraid, but look up, for your redemeption draws nigh." *Thanks Con. God bless all that you do.
