PLOUGHMAN'S LUNCH
  
SOMETHING TO CHEW OVER FROM THE WORD

I invite all bloggers to read and make a comment on my blog posts. This includes those who agree with me, those who disagree with me and those who are indifferent. The only thing I ask - no, INSIST UPON - is that responses are courteous and respectful. Failure to observe this will result in post deletion and repeated failure will result in your being banned from my blog altogether. In return I will be courteous and respectful back to you even if I disagree very strongly with what you have said.

I prefer you to make short-ish comments and using your own words to express your own opinions. You will of course wish to quote scripture to back up your opinion, but a post consisting of a long list of scriptures, or one which is "cut and pasted" from elsewhere, is almost certain to be deleted.

How CAN people say there is no God? Aug 19, 2008 8:52 am
Mood: impressed, 200 Views
On Sunday evening I was walking home very late {about 11:30pm} when I was treated to an awesome and absolutely amazing sight.

It was a full moon that night and the moon was VERY bright, like an enormous searchlight above the clouds. Also, it was positioned just above a medium sized gap in the clouds. The effect was to light up the clouds and a large part of the sky in such a way that the sight was beautiful and awe inspiring. I was reminded of two scriptures:

Psalm 19 v 1
"The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands"

Romans 1 v 20
"Since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities - his eternal power and divine nature - have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse"

I found myself thinking 'HOW can people say that there is no God when sights like that are available?' There is a scripture somewhere about people being 'willingly ignorant' but I can't remember where it is - does anybody know?

Walking home last Sunday night there were some places where the brilliant moon itself was hidden behind buildings, but I could still see the effect of its light on the sky. In a way this was EVEN MORE AWESOME than when I could see the moon, but it does lead to another couple of thoughts:

1. Although we cannot see God, we CAN see the result of his work in creation.

2. Another scripture I can't locate for the moment is 'no-one can see God and live' - but even what we CAN see at times is awesome enough!
