I find it ironic that the description of how the human eye operates on a bio-chemical level is so complex that it is beyond the understanding of the untrained, and for the trained it takes great intelligence to understand; and yet atheists have faith that the human eye just grew from unintelligent matter with no […]

There is an implied argument for the existence of God that atheists will not allow themselves to see which is God’s revealed word. The Bible is very comparable to the human body. Simple as a whole, but beautifully complex as to how all the parts works harmoniously together. I stand in awe. Intelligent design not […]

Comments Off on Perryism – The only ingredient in ice is water; but water without the right conditions is not ice. The only ingredient in Christianity is love; but love without God’s conditions is not Christianity.

Warning! Read Slowly – Praying to God is inquiring of God, and while we would never pray to a man to inquire of God, we could inquire of a man when we inquire of and pray to God. I had fun typing that! Tiresomely, from morning to evening (18.13,14), Israelites would surround Moses “to inquire […]
