All die is the certainty of all men, women and children who have lived on this planet, with few exceptions. Those exceptions: those who history writes have been taken before death by God and those who have been set free from the appointed death and judgment provisioned by God’s Gift.
No matter: Believer, atheist, agnostic, denier, scientist, transhumanist or servant of other god all use the same declaration of faith in the something to which they owe and deliver conformative and confirmative action. Therefore the difficulty in discussion is always found in arguing over the choice rather the material of historical incidence.
Why then must science or disbelief in Christianity rewrite Biblically documented history or claim that it has been manipulated or inaccurately recorded in order to confirm their world view? To date the same argument ensues with unfounded or documented claims or revision are met with the same worldly documented data that sponsored yesterday’s document.
Yes, it appears and logic would agree that there is much more to know than is known. God provides for this understanding in indwelling gift of His Holy Spirit to accurately and safely guide each human into that which is yet known. There is no escaping our shortness of life that none remain alive who were eye witness to the history we all base our arguments upon. However, that is exactly the frustration/elation with Bible as no other documents lay effective dispute to its wealth of accurately defined events.
If there are differing choices, paths and thought collectives that entirely based upon our willingness and choice to make certain our faith, then arguably and inevitably as the Bible predicts there will be a time for all to finally realize the Truth by Test. The Bible perfectly predicts that test and exactly how it will be conducted and its provision for dispensation of outcomes based on that Certainty of Faith.
What we must all see equally and logically is that those of Faith are reckoning a convergence with the reality of today’s events leading to that eventual review. Yes, we are blessed to either walk with a “spiritually enabled sight” of the things to come in faith or await the evidence and outcome without that reliance.
We all know what is coming. The problem and the argument always begins at the decision to either acknowledge the Truth that is God as God or depart to a particular or smorgasbord of belief in action. I am rejoicing that the pregnant moment of my testing has come for it happens in this life not in the next as many sustain. It is the perfect arena for one decision: for or against the sole pathway of Christ Jesus.
When we analyze this collective purpose, we find the basis for argument is truly on the part of those who will not for whatever reason acknowledge God. For all are marching toward the inevitable unveiling of the Truth. However, the difference and it is huge is that the unveiling for Christians happened two thousand years ago and makes each of us certain of two things: we are no longer participants in the collective argument and two because we are no longer facing the inevitable death leading to the equally inevitable judgment.
