The Moral Argument for God’s Existence.

  An atheist might say you can be good without believing in God. However the question isn’t can you be good without believing in God but can you be good without God? Here’s the problem if there’s no God. What basis remains for objective good or bad, right or wrong? If God does not exist objective moral values do not exist. Here’s why. Without some objective reference point we    really have no way of saying something is up or down. Gods nature however provides an objective reference point for moral values. It’s the standard which all action and thoughts are measured. However, if there is no God then there is no objective reference point. All we are left with is one persons view point as opposed to some other persons view point. This makes morality subjective not objective.  It’s like a preference for vanilla ice cream. The preference is in the subject not the object. Therefore it doesn’t apply to other people. In the same way subjective morality applies only to the subject. It’s not va

How does an Eskimo kill a wolf? 

The Eskimo coats his knife blade with blood and allows it to freeze there. Then the Eskimo adds another layer of blood, and then another. As each succeeding smear of blood freezes to the blade of the knife the Eskimo adds an additional coating until the blade is concealed by a substantial thickness of frozen blood. Then the knife handle is buried in the frozen ground with the blade up. The wolf follows his sensitive nose to the scent and tastes the fresh- frozen blood. . . . And licks it. . . . More and more vigorously the wolf licks at the bait until the keen edge is bare. Feverishly now, he licks harder. . . . In the cold night his great  craving becomes so great for blood that he does not notice the razor- sharp sting of the naked blade on his own tongue. Nor does he recognize the instant at which his insatiable thirst is being satisfied by his own warm blood. . . . “More!” his appetite craves, “more!” Until dawn finds him dead in the snow.

If you’re finding satisfaction in your sin, you’re licking the blade. Eventually, you will reach the razor- sharp edge and fail to recognize the danger. Sin always creates greater desire for itself, and it always leads to heartbreak. It could even lead to your death.

"He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a short time." - Hebrews 11:25

Satan knows there's pleasure in rebelling against God will. This world deceives people into indulging in any pleasure that makes us feel good in the moment. But without the truth and the light we are blind and believe the lies that keeps us in chains, prisoners heading for the death sentence.  

"For the wages of sin is death,".... However, Jesus has warned us about the blood coated knife, about the deceptiveness of sin, and provided a way out so that we can see the truth and be set free. All we have to do is choose...."but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." - Romans 6:23
