I’ve actually heard of some people who don’t believe that God exists. Foolishness
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. [Genesis 1:1]
“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” [Hebrews 11:6]
“For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities–his eternal power and divine nature–have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.” [Romans 1:20]
I’ve actually heard of some people who don’t believe that Jesus, the Son of God, exists. Foolishness.
“Then he said to Thomas, ‘Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.‘ Thomas said to him, ‘My Lord and my God!’ Then Jesus told him, ‘Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.‘” [John 20:27-29]
“After that, he (Jesus, after He was resurrected) appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep.” [I Corinthians 15:6]
I’ve heard of some people who don’t believe that the Holy Spirit exists, or perhaps don’t understand the power of the Holy Spirit. Foolishness.
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” [Acts 1:8]
“Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they (the disciples) were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.” [Acts 2:2-4]
It is certainly not my intention to offend anyone on this email list. But some of the aforementioned “people I know” are Godless political candidates running for office in November, and it is up to the church to steer our country (250 years old!) in the direction of God.
Likely you have other, perhaps favorite, verses in support of the above claims that God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit exists. If so, please feel free to share them.
