It appears that a complete atheist web site with about a dozen pages or so has been shut down due to ONE email sent by me. This was not my intent and I give the glory to God. The atheist web site had numerous arguments against christianity and against the Bible. Two of their arguments were:
1. Most Christians don't believe the WHOLE Bible
I agreed with the first but not with the second. However, I personally DO believe in the whole Bible, but as of yet have not walked it the full truth of it. Therefore, I wanted to use their site as an example in my teachings to christians that they need to believe the whole Bible, because if one does not we produce this kind of bad fruit in unbelievers. I wrote them an email to get permission to link to their pages for this very reason, and secondly to correct their argument about the potential violence they saw in christianity and their wrong view of the Old Testament. This is what I wrote:
Hello,Within a week their complete website was shut down. And all further email was returned. This was not my intention. I was even a little upset, but a brother in the Lord showed me that it was a good thing. Well, praise God, let the Lord get the glory! Thank you, Jesus!!!I would like to link your webpage to mine. I disagree with alot (most) of what you say. But I greatly agree that many christians don't believe the whole Bible. So I would like to show how unbelievers blaspheme God when the believer does not believe the whole Bible. You are an excellent example of the fruit of hypocite Christians.
However, that doesn't excuse you from the truth. I believe in the whole Bible, the Bible specifically states :
2Cor:10:4: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds)
That is, we are not to use any fleshly weapon for the purposes of bringing God's will. This includes intimidation and other psychological maneuvers.
If you believe that the Bible contradicts itself by quoting the Old Testament, or think I'll throw the Old Testament away, so as not to allow that, you are wrong. The Old Testament does allow vengence. But the Old Testament was a shadow of the new:
Heb:8:5: Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.
Heb:10:1: For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
The people of the Old Testament were given only shadows of God's ways. Yet, even the New Testament is still seen obscurely:
1Cor:13:12: For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
Yet we were given light so as to be able to walk correctly, even to become entirely new creatures:
2Cor:5:17: Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
I will not brag or boast of my knowledge but I will challenge you against the Holy Spirit that lives in me, that the Lord Himself will receive glory. For:
1Jn:4:4: Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
The Lord is able to dismantle any so called contradictions. Please bring any forth; through God, I will allow the truth to be known on the matter. I do believe in paradoxes such as:
Mt:16:25: For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
But even this scripture is understood with the Holy Spirit.
In any case I do desire to link your page to mine.

I don't claim to be perfect, nor do I claim to know all, but I will claim:
Gal:2:20: I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
1Jn:4:4: Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
Dan:5:12: Forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and shewing of hard sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and he will shew the interpretation.
Acts:10:34: Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
Rom:2:11: For there is no respect of persons with God.
James 5:
16: ...The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. 17: Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.As these scriptures testify, God is well able to silence your heresies and misunderstandings through me (or any other believer who believes the whole Bible and stands in faith to receive) as Daniel was able to.
I believe in the authority of the Bible as being the highest authority. It takes faith not science or historical evidence to believe:
Heb:11:1: Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
I use this (proclamation) in my web page about the authority of the Word of God:
https://www.angelfire.com/wi/teachings/christian.htmlThere is more evidence for science and the courts of men to prove the Bible is correct. But that is not faith, therefore it is not God's best. However, I think it is completey possible to prove you wrong by science and historical facts. I will not indulge arguments of this nature, this comes against the ways of faith. I try to walk in faith, but will not judge those who are weak and need to use such means. These tools are helpful after one has faith. Anyways, below are some links that will give physical evidences and they will probably answer your questions. God will answer theological questions with His Spirit in me, or those of doctrine and the Bible. I have placed these links in order or superiority of showing evidence I feel best suits you.
