God Hates You, Hate Him Back: Making Sense of The Bible [Or Non-sense if you are willingly ignorant] by CJ Werlemen - Part 2

(Jesus Lied. He Was Only Human - Debunking of the Christian myth. (by CJ Werlemen) is not yet available for purchase, nor is there a sample chapter available.  So, in the mean time, I will methodically plod through and expose Werlemen's "mindless" review of Scripture. This is the second in a series of blog posts labeled under the tag "Scoffers".)

(2Pe 1:19) We have also a more sure word of prophecy;

(Isa 46:9-10)   Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, Declaring the end from the beginning ....

(Isa 28:13) But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.

How does God authenticate His Word?  By writing history in advance, or forthtelling the coming of persons, times, or events.  This observation was covered earlier (see 'About' tag on blog).  "Declaring the End from the Beginning."  Setting aside the myriad of prophetic passages that have detailed persons, times, or events, that have transpired.  Let us review our current technologically advanced society.

(Rev 13:16-17)   And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:  And that no man might buy or sell, [...]
Moore's Law is catapulting humankind into the future.  On the horizon, is an event called the Singularity.  We are on the verge of a technological conversion, a change so rapid, so invasive, man and machine will merge.  As fiat digital currency becomes the norm, as the cashless society emerges, it doesn't take much imagination to see how, "no man might buy or sell" unless they "receive a mark in their right hand, or in their forehead"  Take note of the specific detail, "all", read that everyone, "both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond".  If you haven't noticed, a smart grid, an inter-connected system for control, is readily being set up.  The global police state is being set up before our very eyes.

Reading Scripture is like reading the news.  Here are ten trends, laid out in Scripture, demonstrating Him who declares the "End from the Beginning":

1. The Struggle for Jerusalem
2. Weapons Proliferation
3. The Rise of Islam
4. The Magog Invasion
5. The Rise of the Far East
6. Biotech & Global Pestilence
7. The Rise of a European Superstate
8. The Decline of the U.S.
9. Global Government
10. Global Religion

Like I said, CJ is willingly ignorant.  Because, if he really wanted to know Scripture, he would humble himself and read commentaries by contemporaries or those who have gone before.  Many of his absurd assertions, can be readily answered with a little digging and an open mind.

"When one examines a hologram in natural (uncollimated, noncoherent) light, it has no apparent form nor attractiveness. However, when one examines it with the laser with which it was formulated, a three-dimensional image appears. When one examines the Bible in unaided, natural light, it "has no form nor comeliness that we should desire it."³ But when we examine it illuminated by the Light that created it, the Spirit of God that put it all together in the first place, we see an image: the image of the One that every detail in it illuminates, the promised Messiah Himself." (System Design of the Scriptures?: Our Holographic Bible by Chuck Missler http://www.khouse.org/articles/1999/230/)

Jhn 1:1-5 In the beginning was the Word [Jesus], and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. 

Col 1:16   For by him [Jesus] were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether [they be] thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 

Jhn 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

Jhn 9:5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

Jesus is the Son of God, He is the Light of the World.

CJ contends, "God created light and darkness on day one and the sun and the planets didn't come until day four. So where did the light come from?  No Sun, no light.  Oops!"

Wrong sun, it's Son, the Light of the World.  God was the Light!

"But when we examine [the Bible] illuminated by the Light that created it" ... it make sense.

"Here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken."

You see, Scripture isn't laid out in a straightforward manner.  It was distributed over time and space, to different individuals.  For whatever reason, and I don't need to know the exact reason, God chose to involve humankind in the distribution of his message.  And what is his message?  God loves you and wants you to love him back.

(Jhn 15:13)   Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
