Words of Comfort: Two men cannot procreate.

“Why is it that God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah but had no problem with Adam, Eve and their two sons basically procreating the world?”
Adam and Eve obviously had more children. Two men cannot procreate.

Words of Comfort: A beetle without a maker.

“The only thing you can say about all atheists is that they all lack belief in gods.” 
There are many atheists around the world who don't embrace your carefully worded modern definition. They simply say "I believe that there is no God." Your cut-and-paste movement only started a few years ago. But you are still connected to the old “I believe” atheists. If I have a car and say “I lack belief in makers,” it means I believe that cars have no makers—and my car therefore had no maker.  I...

Words of Comfort: Extra limbs.

“A whale was found with atavistic hind limbs of over 4 feet long. This makes perfect sense according to an evolutionary framework. Please explain how it makes any sense according to creationism.”
Do an Internet search for "photos of extra limbs" and you will find lambs with eight legs, people with four legs, three arms, etc. They have nothing to do with evolution and neither does a whale that has extra limbs.

Words of Comfort: Faible device of communication.

“If there was an omnipotent Supreme Being, why would He use such a fallible device of communication--a book written by men, selected by men? Why not just communicate directly?”
God did communicate directly with human beings. When He gave the Ten Commandments, the nation of Israel was so fearful that they thought they would die. He has chosen to give us His written Word telling us how to find everlasting life, and we are to simply do what it says.

Words of Comfort: Insulting to God.

A skeptic remarked: “Lack of faith is insulting to God--sounds extremely petty."
Ray answers:  I don't believe for one minute anything you say. You are not a trustworthy person. I lack faith in you because you lack the virtue of faithfulness. To lack of faith in someone is to slur their integrity. How much more so with God.

Words of Comfort: Lip service.

I often go through the Ten Commandments to help people see that they need God’s forgiveness. Some people say that they’ve never lied, stolen or even lusted. If you are in that category, you should know that the Ten Commandments are summed up in just two—loving God and loving your neighbor as yourself. If you love God, you will put Him first, have no other gods before Him, never use His Name in blasphemy and you will keep the Sabbath holy. If you love your neighbor, you will never li...

Words of Comfort: Tortured for Christ.

“Out of curiosity, have you read Richard Wurmbrand's Tortured For Christ? He gives an incredible account of torturers who claimed all of their evil in the name of atheism.” Richard Bushey  

"The communist torturers often said, 'There is no God, no Hereafter, no punishment for evil. We can do what we wish.' I have heard one torturer even say, 'I thank God, in whom I don't believe, that I have lived to this hour when I can express all the evil in my heart.' He expressed it in unbe...

Words of Comfort: Deluded fools?

Chris Bogg "You guys are funny. Show me the evidence of this great flood. Oh, that's right you can't, you deluded fools."
More than 70% of the earth being cover by water is a good clue. Scientists don't know how the water got there.

Words of Comfort: Elevator accidents.

I was doing research on elevator accidents and was horrified by what I read. After reading of these I wanted to tell everyone to be careful stepping through the closing doors of an elevator. If you get caught in a doorway and the elevator goes up or down, it will rip your limbs or even your head off. Please take care.
I shared these thoughts because I wouldn’t want my worst enemy to suffer such a horror. And it’s the same with the warnings about the existence of Hell.
Some could say of the warn...

Words of Comfort: Pork & shellfish.

“If you were really that intent on Biblical literalism, you'd also stone your unruly children and refrain from eating pork and shellfish.” Grant Carpenter
Skeptics are forever confused about Hebrew civil and dietary Law. We don't follow these laws because they weren’t given to us. They were given to another nation, 3,000 years ago. Most of us live in the U.S. where we have our own civil laws.
The only Law that is binding on all of humanity is the moral Law (the Ten Commandments). The moral Law...
