Kaitlyn Vierday

DO YOU KNOW WHAT AN AGNOSTIC IS?

Ag·nos·tic

Aɡˈnästik

A person who believes

that nothing is known

Or can be known of the

existence or nature of

God or of anything

beyond material

phenomena; a person

Who claims neither

faith nor disbelief in

God.

Revelation 3:16 (NLT)16 But since you are like

lukewarm water, neither

hot nor cold, I will spit you

out of my mouth!

Literal meaning Biblical meaning

Theist-Belief

Atheist-Disbelief

Agnostic-Neither

AGNOSTICS BELIEVE THERE IS NOTHING KNOWN REGARDING THE EXISTENCE OF GOD.

THAT THE ABILITY TO HAVE KNOWLEDGE OR TRUTH REGARDING GOD IS DENIED AND

IMPOSSIBLE.

AND CREATION IS AN ACT OF UNEXPLAINABLE SCIENCE

Jesus claimed to be God.

“The Father and I are one.” John 10:30

“At my Fathers direction, I have done many good works. For which one are you going to stone me?” John 10:31-32

“If you knew me, you would also know my Father.” John 8:19

Liar? No.

Lunatic? No.

Lord?

Yes!

His moral teachings were intelligible and

comprehensible, his mind never went astray.

His instructions have liberated many people

out of mental bondage. He didn’t have a

bloated ego, even though he was surrounded

by adoring crowds. He loved and made

important all people including women and

children who weren’t seen as important.

TAKE 10^17 SILVER DOLLARS AND

LAY THEM ON THE FACE OF TEXAS.

THEY'LL COVER ALL OF THE STATE

TWO FEET DEEP. NOW MARK ONE

OF THESE SILVER DOLLARS AND

STIR THE WHOLE MASS

THOROUGHLY, ALL OVER THE

STATE. BLINDFOLD A MAN AND

TELL HIM THAT HE CAN TRAVEL AS

FAR AS HE WISHES, BUT HE MUST

PICK UP ONE SILVER DOLLAR AND

SAY THAT THIS IS THE RIGHT ONE.

WHAT CHANCE WOULD HE HAVE

OF GETTING THE RIGHT ONE?

THERE ARE 353 PROPHECIES

FULFILLED IN JESUS CHRIST. THIS

IS THE CHANCE OF SOMEONE

FULFILLING THESE PROPHECIES,

JUST AS JESUS.

The Bible’s variants aren’t really variants at all. It consists of 75% of spelling differences such as the name John spelled John or Johnn. Also, referring to “he” or “she” rather than there name in some manuscripts. Lastly, 1% involving the meaning such as “our joy” or “your joy” which doesn’t change the central doctrine of the Christian faith.

The Bible is made up of more than 5600 Greek manuscripts with over 50,000 identified sealed fragments that would be embarrassing to compare with other works of antiquity.

The Bible also consists of internal evidence such as eyewitness accounts.

“We were not making up clever stories when we told you about the powerful coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. We saw His majestic splendor with our own eyes.” 2 Peter 1:16

“This report is from an eyewitness giving an accurate account. He speaks the truth so that you can also believe.” John 19:35

There exists no document from the ancient world witnessed by so much textual and historical testimonies and data.

The Bible is historical and reliable proof that we have knowledge and truth regarding God and His existence.

The "message sender" (DNA) and the

"message receiver" (mRNA) both

spontaneously evolved, by chance? The

message sender" (DNA) and the "message

receiver" (mRNA) instantaneously

communicated with each other? This is so

unlikely that for practical purposes we can

consider this impossible by the laws of

probability. Science is limited in that it

does not grant absolute truth, but only

yields degrees of probability or likelihood.

The human brain is a control center that runs the body. It

weighs only three pounds but contains 100 billion neurons.

David Eagle man states; “There are as many connections in a

single cubic centimeter of brain tissue as there are stars in

the Milky Way galaxy”.

Psalms 139:13-18

"For you created my inmost being; you knit

me together in my mother's womb. I praise

you because I am fearfully and wonderfully

made; your works are wonderful, I know

that full well. My frame was not hidden

from you when I was made in the secret

place. When I was woven together in the

depths of the Earth, your eyes saw my

unformed body. All the days ordained for

me were written in your book before one of

them came to be. How precious to me are

your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum

of them! Were I to count them, they would

outnumber the grains of sand. When I

awake, I am still with you" (NIV).

The human body is so intricate that it only

makes sense that God is the creator.

AGNOSTIC’S DO NOT TRULY SEEK GOD

They put forth no effort………..

Jeremiah 29:13 (NIV)

You will seek me and

find me when you seek me with all

your heart.
