There has to be a first cause.

A first cause for creation.

A first cause for us coming to Him, and wanting to come to Him.

God must be that first cause. It's the only thing that makes sense.

It's the only thing that made sense when I was a child, not even knowing, really, how to think. It's the only thing that makes sense now, logically, and by faith.

Not believing doesn't make sense. I don't know how people do it. I always wonder if they're just kidding...

I can see your side of it. There are some very intelligent, analytical people out there that are very staunch in seeing things another way, and I can see their side of it too.

The bible explains why people don't believe or won't believe.

Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age?

Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

Now I just have to, lol.

1 Corinthians 1:21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

For indeed Jews ask for signs and Greeks search for wisdom;

but we preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumbling block and to Gentiles foolishness,

but to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.



right through to the end of chapter one...makes me happy every time i think of it. :)

why do i believe?

pfft...GOD did that. :)

why do i follow Him?
because He put this love in my heart for Him, and i can't even imagine doing anything else.
again and again, He has proven Himself faithful to me, even when i was faithless.

He's amazing. :)

♫ My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness ☼

Agreed!!!!.... what She ^^^^^ said... I cant put it into my own words cause i dont wanna sound like a broken record. :)
