The first Christmas – a lost and lonely world fell asleep that night not understanding the magnitude and importance that the night held. A babe had been born in Israel that would change the course of human history. Born to a virgin, heralded in by angels, found among the unclean animals, hail to the Savior … Continue reading
A third objection one could bring up about God is that by creating he proves himself mutable. A popular argument is that God needed to create us. Many people say that God was lonely or that God wanted to display his glory to intelligent creatures, thus he needed to create us in order to eradicate … Continue reading
Once in the Garden of Eden, at the beginning of our sorrows, the pre-incarnate Christ walked within the Garden looking for Man and Woman. He knew what had occurred. He knew His creation had rebelled. He knew the pain and suffering that was to come. We can almost hear the pain as we read the … Continue reading
While the previous answer given to “Does God change” might be adequate to some since it allows for us to understand that God does not operate in the way we do, meaning he can change his mind without changing his nature, to others such an answer is unsatisfactory.

Aside from changing his mind, we see that God … Continue reading
The little girl cries as the man leaves her little shack. The darkness of this world has overpowered her. At such a young age she sits there as a prostitute, sold into sex slavery as though she were a prize. Multiple men visit her, but none off her any salvation. Day in and day out … Continue reading
The attention of the argument now turns away from trying to prove God to instead proving how the Christian God is not eradicated by St. John’s argument.
