Knowledge And Imagination would be Useless Without Faith by EternalBeing: 6:17am On Nov 27, 2016
Professor : You are a Christian, aren’t you, son ?

Student : Yes, sir.

Professor: So, you believe in GOD ?

Student : Absolutely, sir.

Professor : Is GOD good ?

Student : Sure.

Professor: Is GOD all powerful ?

Student : Yes.

Professor: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to GOD to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn’t. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?

(Student was silent.)

Professor: You can’t answer, can you ? Let’s start again, young fella. Is GOD good?

Student : Yes.

Professor: Is satan good ?

Student : No.

Professor: Where does satan come from ?

Student : From … GOD …

Professor: That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?

Student : Yes.

Professor: Evil is everywhere, isn’t it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct?

Student : Yes.

Professor: So who created evil ?

(Student did not answer.)

Professor: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don’t they?

Student : Yes, sir.

Professor: So, who created them ?

(Student had no answer.)

Professor: Science says you have 5 Senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son, have you ever seen GOD?

Student : No, sir.

Professor: Tell us if you have ever heard your GOD?

Student : No , sir.

Professor: Have you ever felt your GOD, tasted your GOD, smelt your GOD? Have you ever had any sensory perception of GOD for that matter?

Student : No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.

Professor: Yet you still believe in Him?

Student : Yes.

Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son?

Student : Nothing. I only have my faith.

Professor: Yes, faith. And that is the problem Science has.

Student : Professor, is there such a thing as heat?

Professor: Yes.

Student : And is there such a thing as cold?

Professor: Yes.

Student : No, sir. There isn’t.

(The lecture theater became very quiet with this turn of events.)

Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don’t have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.

(There was pin-drop silence in the lecture theater.)

Student : What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?

Professor: Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness?

Student : You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light. But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness, isn’t it? In reality, darkness isn’t. If it is, well you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?

Professor: So what is the point you are making, young man ?

Student : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.

Professor: Flawed ? Can you explain how?

Student : Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good GOD and a bad GOD. You are viewing the concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can’t even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing.


Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it.
Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?

Professor: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.

Student : Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?

(The Professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument was going.)

Student : Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor. Are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist preacher?


(The class was in uproar.)

Student : Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?

(The class broke out into laughter. )

Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?

(The room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face unfathomable.)

Professor: I guess you’ll have to take them on faith, son.

Student : That is it sir … Exactly ! The link between man & GOD is FAITH. That is all that keeps things alive and moving. So, Knowledge and Imagination would be useless without faith. To have faith means you believe in something not seen. Don't limit your faith believing small things. Maximaze your Life by believing in the great CREATOR, the eternal Controller and everlasting Owner of Heaven and Earth.

Wow. Nice write up. Good student.

The almighty God who created even the aethists says "believe me and I'll prove myself to you". Aethists are saying to thier creator ..."prove yourself before I believe you" Aethism is the absence of faith.

Aethists are probably the greatest beneficiaries of Gods mercies because He allows them to show off their blasphemies while He takes his position and patiently watches them.

If you like quote me a million times, I will re-post against aethism as the content of the truth always.

God is Using Man To Teach Angels the Greatest Lesson

God is using Man to teach Angels and other heavenly creatures the greatest lesson ever.
The more dedicated to the Holy Spirit and focused JESUS Christ I become, the more deeper the revelation of YAHWEH ALMIGHTY I receive. I'm getting to love YAHWEH the Creator of Heaven and Earth so much more as I get to know HIM better through His Son that died for our sins.

The size of HIS Creation (Heavens, Earth, the Multiverse, the Universe, the Angels, Humans, Animals, Inanimate things, etc.) is unquantifiable. HIS Wisdom is truly infite, unsearchable and immeasurable.
Quran and Bible agrees that ALMIGHTY GOD created man from miry clay and chose to elevate Man above all his creation; including the Angels. YAHWEH's decision to elevate Man above all the Angels led to the battle that happened in Heaven because Satan refused to bow to Man (you and I) as ALMIGHTY GOD commanded. The Bible confirms this in Hebrew 1:6, Deuteronomy 32:43, Revelation 7:11, 5:1-14; 19:1-8, etc.
uran stated and reiterated this many times with same sentence: Recall when We said to the angels: " Prostrate yourselves before Adam"; all prostrated themselves exceot Satan, he refused." Some other angels refused to, and fell with him by so doing.

Quran 2:34, [20:116], [18:50], [17:61], [7:11] and [2:34], indeed) is how Allah tells us the story, as you see from the quoted verse what Allah has stated is actually a command without mentioning its listeners: "Make obeisance to Adam", and Satan was with angles maybe for almost
