One of the many objections to the existence of the God of Christianity that skeptics often raise is, "Can God create a rock so heavy that He could not lift it?" Generally, the Christian who is asked this question responds with a quick "no," to which the skeptic objects, "If God cannot create a rock so heavy that he could not lift it, then is he logically not omnipotent?" Often leaving the one who is asked the question without a valid answer, the skeptic appears to have shown that such a God could not exist, and is essentially satisfied in his or her own mind. Similar objections involve whether or not God can lie, or whether or not God can sin - both arguments used to allegedly demonstrate that God cannot exist. But is the question itself a valid question, or a misunderstanding of the divine attributes of God?
In this entry, we are going to examine the basis of our relationship with our God and Savior, Jesus Christ. Too many times I have heard people say, “just repeat after me and say the sinners prayer in unison, and you will be saved.” While this is what is our main basis of faith is – coming humbly to our Creator, confessing that we are a sinner and repenting of our sins, many non-Christians do not understand this concept, of coming before the Lord and admitting our wrongdoings. Note: Due to technical difficulties, Aaron has been unable to write for a while, but will be returning shortly.
