“I never gave up Christianity until forty years of age.” Charles Darwin. Commentary: This quote of his has some missing links! That is there is no narrative to support his decision? Was he always saved from his birth? Did he get saved at 39 years of age and then forsake Christ or was he really never a follower of Christ? Did he ever go to church? Did he tithe and give offerings to the church? Did he go to the mission field? Where is the evidence he was a Christian! What was his reason for leaving at age 40? Did make off with another man’s wife at age 40? Did he rob a bank at age 40? If he really believed in Jesus why the betrayal? This is not scientific! Was the government going after him because he was a Trump supporter? In our Bible we have good narratives of why most chose to follow Jesus and a few that betrayed him. Peter was an uneducated fisherman who left his occupation and began to follow Jesus! However the night of Jesus betrayal Peter got cornered and was asked if he was also a follower of Jesus? Peter was afraid! The government is persecuting my leader what will they do to me? Crucify me? Jesus even predicted Peter would deny him when Peter claimed he would not even cutting off the ear of one of the raiding party members of the religious leaders that had come to get Jesus! Jesus had to put the guy’s ear back and rebuked Peter at his efforts to save him! Then after Jesus resurrection from the dead Jesus found the disciples hiding out and he rebuked their unbelief yet took them back to train them as missionaries before his ascension back to heaven! Peter became the leader of the Jerusalem Church and near the end of his life the Roman government took him to Rome and crucified him for being a Christian! However some 300 years later the Roman government adopted Christianity as their State religion! We have another example of Judas Iscariot! Jesus also predicted his betrayal however he told him he would wish he had never been born! Abortion would have been better for him! Judas betrayed Jesus for money! Still goes on a lot here in America! It was greed! He betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of silver! The religious leaders paid him off to single him out on their raid in the middle of the night! Judas had the same problem as Darwin and so many others! They believed that Jesus was just as evil as they are! A deception of Satan! A lie from Satan! God is no good! It is the old narrative back in the Garden of Eden! Surely God did not say? God is a liar! Do not believe him? He is no good just like me! Judas went back to the Jewish leaders to return the money but they refused to accept it! It is the price of blood! God is very different from us! He is love! He sacrificed himself for us! He has forgiven us even though we do not deserve it! He loves us even though we are evil! He paid the price for our sin! To save us from ourselves! He holds our future and we must commit ourselves and our future to him! Heaven or hell? One of two places are reserved for us! But it is our choice! We decide! Follow Jesus and he will lead you to heaven! Follow Darwin and he will lead you to hell! The choice is up to you! Believing there is no God is the path of Darwin! James & Hamsa Sasse.
