The idea of cause and effect suggests that there is no free will. But how can one talk to a materialistic scientist who doesn't believe in spirit and soul, but only believes in bio-mechanical operations of mind?
Because Science comes from Wisdom which comes from fearing the Lord.
Best regards.
As usual, we have to fear the Lord. That's not right - ruling through fear. That's the rule of the jungle. The most powerful rules. There was no need for laws and free will. Fear always works best.
Fearing God is wisdom. After all, He has the ability to do anything to you He wants. Be glad He is patient and merciful with you.
I am glad He is patient and merciful with me. But I think He has to choose: fear or love. What does he want? There seems to be some kind of contradiction here.
He definitely wants your love. The part of the fear that God wants from you is fear in the direction of respect. The rest of the fear you will supply naturally when you meet Him.
Yeah - fear and love don't go together in my book. I want God to love me enough to make me immortal. And in turn I'll love God forever.
Since I don't know you very much, I don't know that you are not a saved person right now.
Nothing witty to reply? I was sure that you would have some snappy comeback for that. I guess it was too much of an argument for you to combat.
Just waiting for you to say something worthwhile replying to.
