SOME ABSOLUTES


There are some people who do not believe that there are any "absolutes" in the world. They believe everything is relative, and therefore everyone can believe anything they want to. I'm sure you have heard someone say "if it feels good do it", or some other such stupid remark. These same people could say they didn't believe that the law of gravity was an absolute, but I dare them to jump off the top of a 50 story skyscraper, and expect to just gradually float down to earth!


Yes, in spite of what some well meaning people might like to believe, there are some absolutes. The law of gravity perhaps is one of the more evident ones, but there are many more. God created this universe to function according to a perfect order. Consider how the tides can be calculated months in advance, or the various phases of the moon, or holidays like Easter can be set years ahead. I understand that our space travellers only have a tiny window that they must hit exactly when they are re-entering earth's atmosphere. If they should miss it by a fraction they would either burn up from the heat of friction with the atmosphere, or they would bounce off and spend the rest of their short life travelling through endless space.


There are some absolutes in the spiritual realm as well as the natural. Our Creator God knew that they would be essential to our life here on planet earth, so He had them recorded in His "Manufacturer's Manual" the Holy Bible. I would strongly advise you to get a copy and read it, your life depends on the truth it contains! One of the most key absolutes in my opinion is the truth about who Jesus is. In (John 14:6) He declared "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through Me". He was God incarnated in human flesh, by way of the "virgin birth", an absolute that is essential to being a child of God. He could of never been the perfect sacrifice that was needed to redeem mankind, if He were not virgin born. Definitely an "absolute"!! These so-called theologians who have been trying to deny this basic truth for years, only show their complete ignorance, in my opinion. They have rejected God's Word, that is our only hope of salvation. Don't be fooled by all these stupid so-called theories that have plagued the church for centuries. This is resurrection week when we celebrate "He is Risen!!!"
