God v Everything Else

Only those who have an objective fixed point of reference know where they are and can navigate in this crazy world. Therefore, the revelation of the one and only self-existing Trinitarian God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) given in His self-authenticating Bible is the "north star" for Christians.

Without this reference point, humanity is lost in a sea of relativism, subjectivism, and self-defeating narcissism. As a result, every attempt at discovering objective reality (metaphysics), knowledge (epistemology), and an understanding of what is right and wrong (ethics) is impossible. The very foundation of science (empiricism) and reason (rationalism) is undermined because neither can be a foundation for themselves nor the other. 

Even science is impossible because there is no justification for the sequence of events necessary for observability and repeatability. Atheism, agnosticism, nor any other religious system can provide an objective point of reference that humanity can use to navigate because the foundation of any other system collapses under close scrutiny. 

Only Biblical Christianity is the necessary foundation for proof itself because, in the words of Dr. Cornelius Van Til, “of the impossibility of the contrary.” Biblical Christianity must, of necessity, be true because if it is not, nothing can be proven whatsoever. Therefore, the Bible provides the necessary conditions for proof itself.

This is why the Bible is attacked so frequently and ferociously. The irony is that attacking the Bible, Biblical Christianity, and individual Christians proves the Bible's veracity. To disagree with the Holy Scriptures is to attest to the reality that there are such objective things as the laws of logic and that there is an objective right and wrong. 

There are only two systems of thought, Biblical Christianity and everything else. The "everything else" in the previous sentence manifests itself in countless ways, but they all have one thing in common, they are all based upon the lie of Satan first presented to Eve in Genesis 3 in the question, "Did God really say?" 

The problem is not that the Bible is unclear in what God asserts through its pages. Instead, the difficulty for unbelievers is that the Bible is sufficiently clear on who and what God is, what duties He requires of us, and what behavior is offensive to Him. If these things were so obscure, there would be no reason to attack the Bible or those who stubbornly adhere to God's revelation contained in its pages. 

Those who stand in the truth and refuse to waiver or compromise have always been the focus of attack. We alone stand in defiance of a humanity that insists on doing its own thing and refuses to submit to God, His Law, and the ultimate revelation of Himself to humanity in the Person of Jesus Christ.

Throughout history, we have seen instances where "everything else" rears its ugly head and attacks those who hold fast to Jesus Christ, as revealed in the Bible. Unfortunately, we are deep in a time in history when this cycle is repeating itself, and those who refuse to join the "everything else" will face persecution. The test is, and always has been, whether you, as an individual, will bend your knee and proclaim Jesus is Lord or whether you will bend your knee to the intolerant god of tolerance.

For me, my knee is literally and figuratively bent in homage and worshiping Christ to the glory of God the Father. To closet Christians, you can try to keep your faith hidden or pretend that what the Bible says about taking up your cross and following Christ does not involve a real cross or public humiliation. But be warned; the "everything else" and the demon head behind it is tirelessly seeking you out and will eventually find a way to make you blow your cover. If, at that point, you deny Christ out of fear or shame, you will know that you are not a faithful follower of Christ.

I know these are harsh words, but they are nowhere near as severe as those who refuse to bend their knee to Christ or are ashamed of Him, and His words, will hear on the day of judgment, "Depart from me for I never knew you." Why wait? Stop drifting and fix your eyes on Christ and stop compromising in your silence or in your sinful lifestyle that you know is out of line with God's Law.

Get right with God through Christ before it is too late because once you die, and someday you will die, it will be too late. Now is the time. The hour has grown late, and soon God will shut the door forever.
