If Jesus Never Came.Written by Rev.A.R.Smith
If Jesus Never Came. part 1 by Anthony Smith 2 Peter 2:4-2:11 If Jesus Never Came. part 1. A look at, Athiest, Agnostice, Humanist and Freethinkers. There are many people that call themselves atheist, to me an atheist is an agnostic without a clue. I believe if we took a poll on atheist from ever major war, we would find out many Atheist were turned into Agnostics and Agnostics were turned into believers. An atheist is; One who disbelieves or denies existence of God or gods. An agnostic is;One who believes that it is impossible to know whether there is a God. One who is skeptical about existence of God but does not profess true atheism. Why are Athiest, Agnostice, Humanist, Freethinkers and like so preoccupied about proveing that God and His Son Jesus dont exist? Is there something in Bible that scares them so much that we have become a threat to them? It doesnt take much not to believe in something, but it takes all to believe in God. Christianity, in mankind, is not perfect by any means. The Apostil Paul stated, “Let us go on to perfection...”Heb 6:1. We disagree many times over many subjects but we all have come to agreement that we can all disagree. I think that is pretty civil of us, dont you? Well lets put it this way, If God didnt exist then neither would, Athiest, Agnostice, Humanist or Freethinkers. Now lets take a look at world as If Jesus Never Came. An atheist states that God or gods dont exist, this is not entirely truth on their part. An Atheist doesnt believe in Theory of Darwin so that makes him a believer in a higher power. They believe, or are interested, in spirituallity and sense spirituallity is a religious term they lie to themselves. So we will look at it from that point of view. The question that these people should be asking is “Who created religion?” Athieism, Agnosticeism, Humanism or Freethinkers are terms that constitute a religion. Religion is actually; Belief in and reverence for a supernatural power or powers regarded as creator and governor of universe. A personal or institutionalized system grounded in such belief and worship. The life or condition of a person in a religious order. A set of beliefs, values, and practices based on teachings of a spiritual leader. A cause, principle, or activity pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion. Gen 1:1 In beginning God created heaven and earth. In this statement Bible speaks not a word about religion or worship, you would be, in fact, hard pressed to find any mention of these subjects untill Chapter 4. A covenant relationship didnt arrive untill chapter 6. Again religion is still not mentioned, so what was God doing with man? He was making a pact, a promise and a covenant, not religion. Religion came into effect begining in chapter 10 with Nimrod. The Hebrew name Nimrod means "let us rebel," given by his contemporaries to Nimrod as one who ever had in his mouth such words to stir up his band to rebellion. Nimrod subverted existing patriarchal order of society by setting up a chieftainship based on personal valor and maintained by aggression. [Fausset] This is an athesist comment; ”I am interested in spirituality, and I have a general interest in history of Christianity and bible. I find most of active Christians I meet to be nice people, and I am fascinated by how they twist and avoid truth in order to claim Bible is somehow holy. I also see it mis-used often in Politics, and I always urge people to read bible, line for line, so in that respect we have same goals. I would love for bible reading to be compulsury in public schools, line for line, without Christian spin.” Most athesist fall under catigory in religionism; A state of often extreme religious ardour; {Fiery intensity of feeling.} Morris notes, "The essential identity of various gods and goddesses of Rome, Greece, India, Egypt, and other nations with original pantheon of Babylonians is well established. [In fact], Nimrod himself was apparently later deified as chief god (’Merodach’ or ’Marduk’) of Babylon.(Rom. 1:23)And changed glory of uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Babylon means “Gate of God.” The citizens of Babylon had rejected knowledge of true God. Therefore, we should expect creation of a false religion as part of their dubious cultural achievements. Again, Bible speaks of "mystery Babylon," that is, of reality symbolized by earthly city, saying that it is "the mother of prostitutes and of abominations of earth" (Rev. 17:5). This refers, as do ideas of prostitution and abomination throughout Bible, to false religion.Turn to any book on astrology and you will find that it was Chaldeans (another name for inhabitants of Babylon) who first developed zodiac by dividing sky into sections and giving meanings to each on basis of stars that are found there. A person’s destiny is said to be determined by whatever section or "sign"he is born under. [THE TOWER OF BABEL AND THE CONFUSION OF LANGUAGES] by Lambert Dolphin

Hebrews 11:1-11:23 Now Faith is, by Rev A.R. Smith Hebrews 11:1, Now faith is, substance of things hoped for, evedence of things not seen. Introduction; We see many people expecting things to happen tomorrow. I hear it every day when I speek to frends, loved ones and even enemyes. They always say, Well maby tomorrow things will get better, or maby tomorrow or next week, Ill start going to church. And i always add, well what if tomorrow never comes? Where will your soul be for eterniety? Think about it. I. What does Hebrews say about faith? Now faith is, Lets break it down so we can understand it a little better. What Paul was saying here is same thing, Jesus told Mary and Martha. John 11:32, Then Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw Him, she fell down at His feet, saying unto Him, Lord if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. Isnt that way some christians are, they try to put blame on everything not knowing that whatever happens to us as believers may just be will of God. As you see here, Mary had faith for yesterday, she didnt have,Now Faith.She believed if Jesus had been there yesterday, Her brother, would not have died. She had seen many wonders preformed by Jesus and at this time, along with everyone else, that knew Jesus,they were walking by sight, and not by Faith.We see this alot in scripture and in our daily lives. Christians are sitting back waiteing for Rapture and doing nothing today, to add to their own faith. being sick in body and spirit, not knowing where to turn, not knowing how to survive. Look at John verse 37, And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened eyes of blind, have caused that even this man should not have died? Walking by sight and not by faith. How many wonders does Jesus hafe to do before we believe. The Bible states, that, We can do all things throu Christ Jesus, who strengthens Me. Thats Now Faith,. I can, I Can, I can do all things, not yesterday, not tomorrow, but NOW. We all have been given a measure of Faith by Holy Spirit, but what about Faith for today? Where does it come from? It comes from same Spirit. Now Faith is,What is it? Its a substance, Strongs Dictionary declaires that ,A substance is, 1. a property. 2. A possession. 3. A virtue. 4. a wealth. So if we use this description, Now Faith is a virtue, a desire,a possession ,a substance, we can hold onto.
