“Faith doesn’t create anything. It only apprehends reality.” This really helps me with the evidence today. Sometimes there is a leap of faith. That didn’t mean faith is stretching. It means we are. Faith can almost be called a calculated risk, or hardly risk at all. We’re thankfully allowed to be certain of how great and present and truthful God truly is.

I love this sermon. I think a lot of the push-back against Christ during the ‘God Delusion’ years assumed a definition of faith it also rejected (something like, “believing where no evidence is”) that didn’t accord, theologically with the bible’s own teaching on the topic. John is profound-I love the Magic Eye illustration and the outrageous claim that God brought the product to market just for JP to preach this sermon! Although reasons may abound. Coming to Hebrews 11, in the context of the world’s rejection of faith (on a definition of faith a Christian might not recognize) the question of how faith _is_ an evidence is absolutely the right one. I doubt there’s a serious investigation of Christian epistemology that doesn’t include ‘the spiritual senses’, so to speak… utterly fascinating. Christianity affirms not only that God exists (and is in relation to our ordinary senses, as Jesus put it, “Your Father who is unseen”) but also is knowable-perceived and apprehended as John picks up: tasted, seen, fragrant, etc. The best of this world’s scientists are those who are alive and not dead. This is owing to the peculiar advantages the living have over the dead: ability to see, hear, reason, etc. likewise, for us. Spiritual apprehension isn’t a fantasy but step 1 is not to be dead: Ye must be born again as the KjV had it. Lazarus, come forth!

Like God is the Mandelbrot set, and we are the fractals zoomed in patterns. Or, God is the holographic principle, transcendent yet immanent in all created things
I love this illustration. It's effectively reflecting how brilliant our God is. Physics, chemistry, anaphysiology, astronomy, film and literature, nature. God is soooo above us in every way, and yet He's kind, wow..
Faith is shameless. Believers begin their crimes like Moses, becoming history's worst navigator, as if travel were best done with one foot in fantasyland. Believers fail to comprehend the saying of Jesus Christ which has lasted to this day. Believers are found among a gathering crowd, when Jesus Christ is alarmed by a wicked generation, those who seek the signs of resurrection. "The only sign given is Jonah" - who was a believer. He was outnumbered & murdered by other believers. Jesus Christ "hangeth on a tree" to celebrate the War of the Jews. I'm astounded at the farcical notion that a deity has any relationship to a believer. Men have always known God as a tool of fiction, propaganda, & rhetoric. The Christ fantasy ignores Jesus saying, "This is a wicked generation seeking signs, the only sign given is Jonah," a believer murdered by a larger number of believers. The King of the Jews is mounted on a stick, because Romans made a parody of the avatar, the icon. "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, cursed is everyone that hangeth on a tree:" Galatians 3:13 How can you possibly take faith seriously? How can anyone in their right mind ask others to believe in the existence of a Deity who makes Mormons so Christians will know how Jews feel, having had their literature hijacked. Nothing fails like prayers in a children's hospital & indoctrinating children is criminal. The faith vocabulary causes the user to be avoided like the old woman with too many cats. Faith "comes not with peace, but sword." Faith comes with wolves dressed as sheep & preaching to the choir. Faith trades the last cow for a pocketful of magic beans & then expects everyone's appreciation. It is by Faith, Moses becomes the worst navigator in history. Jesus said, it is a wicked generations which seeks signs such as resurrection. Faith is as worthless as fantasyland magic, since you can't tell mountains to move. The "only sign given" in reality "is Jonah": A believer murdered by other believers because he is outnumbered. The context is Jesus seeing a gathering crowd, so it is up to us, to reject religious nonsense, nothing fails like prayers in a children's hospital. Believers have no sense of responsibility, or standards. Theologians grant each other doctorates, as if, equal to a science. It is a, have it both ways world, for the believers. It is an authoritarian, fascist world which says: "My sheep hear My voice".
1 Corinthians 9 20 And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law; 21 To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law.
This is the reasoning of a person who either does not actually see an all powerful God or thinks they can dethrone Him. There is no point in quoting this text to the room when you declare you don’t believe its authorship.

“Faith doesn’t create anything. It only apprehends reality.”

Like God is the Mandelbrot set, and we are the fractals zoomed in patterns. Or, God is the holographic principle, transcendent yet immanent in all created things
I love this illustration. It's effectively reflecting how brilliant our God is.
Physics, chemistry, anaphysiology, astronomy, film and literature, nature. God is soooo above us in every way, and yet He's kind, wow..
Episode 360. Lol
Faith is shameless.
Believers begin their crimes like Moses, becoming history's worst navigator, as if travel were best done with one foot in fantasyland.
Believers fail to comprehend the saying of Jesus Christ which has lasted to this day. Believers are found among a gathering crowd, when Jesus Christ is alarmed by a wicked generation, those who seek the signs of resurrection. "The only sign given is Jonah" - who was a believer. He was outnumbered & murdered by other believers. Jesus Christ "hangeth on a tree" to celebrate the War of the Jews.
I'm astounded at the farcical notion that a deity has any relationship to a believer. Men have always known God as a tool of fiction, propaganda, & rhetoric.
The Christ fantasy ignores Jesus saying, "This is a wicked generation seeking signs, the only sign given is Jonah," a believer murdered by a larger number of believers. The King of the Jews is mounted on a stick, because Romans made a parody of the avatar, the icon. "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, cursed is everyone that hangeth on a tree:" Galatians 3:13
How can you possibly take faith seriously? How can anyone in their right mind ask others to believe in the existence of a Deity who makes Mormons so Christians will know how Jews feel, having had their literature hijacked. Nothing fails like prayers in a children's hospital & indoctrinating children is criminal. The faith vocabulary causes the user to be avoided like the old woman with too many cats. Faith "comes not with peace, but sword." Faith comes with wolves dressed as sheep & preaching to the choir. Faith trades the last cow for a pocketful of magic beans & then expects everyone's appreciation. It is by Faith,
Moses becomes the worst navigator in history. Jesus said, it is a wicked generations which seeks signs such as resurrection. Faith is as worthless as fantasyland magic, since you can't tell mountains to move. The "only sign given" in reality "is Jonah": A believer murdered by other believers because he is outnumbered. The context is Jesus seeing a gathering crowd, so it is up to us, to reject religious nonsense, nothing fails like prayers in a children's hospital. Believers have no sense of responsibility, or standards. Theologians grant each other doctorates, as if, equal to a science. It is a, have it both ways world, for the believers.
It is an authoritarian, fascist world which says: "My sheep hear My voice".
1 Corinthians 9
20 And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law; 21 To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law.
This is the reasoning of a person who either does not actually see an all powerful God or thinks they can dethrone Him.
There is no point in quoting this text to the room when you declare you don’t believe its authorship.
