Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
We went to see this new movie about the Exodus called, Patterns of Evidence; the Exodus. The film maker has a very compelling story behind evidence found in archeological Egypt. Patterns have been found that lead to a conclusion that the timeline previously thought to be the time of the Exodus is wrong and that is why no science was found to support the bible story. It may have happened earlier and is just now being investigated.
I feel asleep. I didn’t need the science, I have the only evidence I need, my faith. Granted my faith satisfies no one but myself. But to whom do I need to prove anything? Scientific evidence isn’t going to give skeptics faith. Faith is a gift from God and cannot be dug up.
Opponents of faith are not going to shut up just because we hand them a research paper. In truth, I doubt very seriously the faith of any that might stand solely on the science to begin to believe.
John 20:29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
Blessed are those who have taken the faith God has given them and put that faith in Jesus Christ. It is faith in Christ that leads one to salvation, not science in Jesus.
I have to quote Harry Hayhoe again…..”Faith doesn’t reason and reason isn’t faith”. My heart aches for those who are of simple faith and have their faith shaken by the entertainment world. Philippians 4:8 is a good recipe for any Christian who wants to “wholly follow the Lord” as Caleb did.
