Proverbs 1:7
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.
solomons words, old testament. Fear in the lord is not, being afraid of him. its realizing his power, strength, and know that HE created you. and by this "fear", you are blessed.
Revelation 21:6
He said to me: "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life.
Revelation 22:13
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
Jesus is the beginning and he is the end. God HAS no beginning and he has no end. for if god had a beginning, then there must have been a higher power to create god. and that would mean god isnt the almighty, but the power that created him would be the almighty. therefore, when Jesus says in Revelation 21:6 I am the Alpha and the Omega (Greek Alphabet. Amega=A, Omega=Z-------BEGINING AND END), he really means i began this earth, and i will end it, which revelation is the description of the end of the earth. god created this earth, and he will end it, therefore he IS the beginning and end. |
That really is quite a silly proof for an argument. Here, I'll do the same thing with my claim that God does not exist:
The Babel fish is small, yellow and leech-like, and probably the oddest thing in the Universe. It feeds on brainwave energy not from its carrier but from those around it. It absorbs all unconscious mental frequencies from this brainwave energy to nourish itself with. It then excretes into the mind of its carrier a telepathic matrix formed by combining the conscious thought frequencies with nerve signals picked up from the speech centres of the brain which has supplied them. The practical upshot of all this is that if you stick a Babel fish in your ear you can instantly understand anything said to you in any form of language. The speech patterns you actually hear decode the brainwave matrix which has been fed into your mind by your Babel fish.
Now it is such a bizarrely improbable coincidence that anything so mindboggingly useful could have evolved purely by chance that some thinkers have chosen to see it as the final and clinching proof of the non-existence of God.
The argument goes something like this: `I refuse to prove that I exist,'says God, `for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing.'
`But,' says Man, `The Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED.'
`Oh dear,' says God, `I hadn't thought of that,' and promptly vanished in a puff of logic
- Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Chapter 6, p. 42
So you see God may have been the beginning but he's no longer around for the end (in the english language "vanished" means NO LONGER THERE). So you see while he was once there, logic did him away and now he is gone. Therefore he doesn't exist. And you know what, I'm right because it says so above and therefore a FACT!
Look ma! I can argue like a creationist too!
