Welcome to www.Godhastheanswer.com This website has been created for and is dedicated to those who are searching for the Truth with an open mind and a sincere heart. As we see the wonders of the
universe all around us; the complexity,
beauty
and design everywhere we look, we are confronted
with what should be undeniable evidence that there is an
infinitely wise and powerful Creator behind it all. In spite of this
evidence in nature, one can observe throughout history that many people
choose not to respond to this light they are given. They get preoccuppied
with the pleasures and possessions of this life and never search for the truth about the One Who created us and the universe in which we live.
Instead, they choose to believe what they want
to believe - sometimes creating their own religions or choosing not
to
acknowlege God's existence at all. They determine their own beliefs
and close their eyes and ears to everything else, including
the truth.
There are individuals, however, scattered over the face of the earth, who respond to the evidence God has given them about Himself and seek to learn more about Who He is and how they can know Him. God promises to reveal the truth to those who seek Him, and has given us everything we need to know about about life, death, and eternity in the Bible; a Book which He has miraculously preserved for us down through the ages. Most importantly, He tells us in the Bible how we can be forgiven of our sins and have the assurance of a home in Heaven. ...the Holy Scriptures, Which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. II Timothy 3:15-17 (KJV) The Bible tells us that God works in the heart of every individual on earth, convincing them of His existence and convicting them of their need to seek out a relationship with Him. This website consists of several links to Bible studies, all of which focus on this all-important issue. The first of these consists of the text of a leaflet entitled... This brief study can be read
in just a few minutes and begins by
observing that every person in this world is born with a certain
indescribable "emptiness" which they try to
satisfy with all that this world has to offer but without success. The
focus then shifts to what the Bible tells us is the root problem behind
this emptiness which is the fact that man lacks the
relationship with God that he was created to have.
It goes on to outline the main Message of the Bible - that God has provided a way for us to be reconciled to Himself and to be rescued from the eternal separation from Him necessitated by our sinfulness. This leaflet is a summary of a book entitled... Missing Something?
Satisfaction and Peace of Mind: Man's Search, God's Solution This book focuses on this
same all-important subject, but also leads the reader through
the major teachings of the Bible to show how the Bible all fits together around It's major theme
of God's offer of forgiveness and eternal life. It also seeks to show that God has the answers to the common
questions, objections, and misconceptions people have concerning the
Bible and It's teachings.
A third link that is a part of this site is a study entitled, which
looks into the fascinating world of modern scientific discovery and how
it relates to the relevance of the Bible in today's world.
Although many
volumes
could be, and have been written on this topic, this brief
study demonstrates that, the more modern technology allows us
to
learn
about the universe around us - from the components of the atom to the
furthest reaches of space - the more inescapable the conclusion becomes
that
there is an infinitely wise and powerful Creator behind it all.
Just in the last 20 years, the amount of information that man
has
learned about the universe from every field of science is
staggering, and all of it should lead the observer to acknowledge
that the universe cannot be the product of an
unexplained
explosion as the evolutionary Big
Bang
Theory suggests,
but rather to be the handiwork of God. Although the passages in the Bible that relate to this subject are addressed, this study spends even more time documenting what top scientists in their fields are telling us. The quotes considered are not confined to scientists who believe in God. A majority of them are from agnostic and atheistic evolutionists who are simply professional and honest enough to report what their research is telling them. More of them every day are allowing their research to lead them to the conclusion that is inevitable to the mind that is open to the Truth - that all the design and order we see in the universe could never have happened by chance but must be the result of a powerful and intelligent designer. Others allow themselves to be led to the next conclusion, that this "intelligent designer" is none other than God, Who has revealed Himself to us in the Bible. I pray that your heart will be sensitive and open as God seeks to draw you to Himself. I also pray that you will read these studies for yourself or at least the short pamphlet... which contains the most important information of
all. Then, if you still have questions, please feel free to e-mail
me...
I am maintaining this website
in the evenings as I am working a full-time secular job; so, if
I don't get back to you right away, a website that is an excellent
source of answers to questions regarding God and the Bible is
a ministry which was founded and is managed full
time by a gentleman who graduated from Calvary Bible College in Kansas
City as I did. I greatly respect his commitment to the
Truth and am confident that you will either be able to find
the
answer to your question in the substantial library of Bible answers on
his site or that one of the many pastors and Bible teachers who
volunteer time each week with His ministry will be able to assist
you in finding the answer to your question from God's Word.
We must always check for ourselves in the Bible to see if what someone is telling us is true concerning spiritual matters (Acts 17:11), but I have great respect for the gentleman who is managing this web-ministry that is helping people all over the world find their way to a clear understanding of God's Word and how they can be reconciled to Him. Concerning this site you are now visiting, it is still very much under construction, especially the link The other studies on this site are largely finished, but are still being edited and rewritten for sake of clarity. I would appreciate your opinion of what is completed so far, for what I hope to accomplish with this site will be determined by how clearly and accurately it communicates the Message of the Bible. For this reason, I would be grateful for your input if you find any errors or notice some areas that don't read smoothly. Throughout the Bible, God's message to every individual remains... And you shall seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:13 (KJV) It is the goal of
this site to act as a guide for those who respond to God's pull on
their hearts and who undertake this most important of all endeavors, of seeking to be reconciled to Him. If you are involved in this search, I
hope I can be of help, and I look forward to hearing from you.
