The God of Absoluteness
By Jack Kinsella – Omega Letter Editor
Excerpts:
“The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God.” (Psalms 14:1). It seems rather harsh to call someone ‘a fool’ for what at first glance appears to be ignorance.
A person who doesn’t know God is clearly ignorant, since the word “ignorance” means ‘not knowing’. Ignorance is not a pejorative, although it is often hurled as an insult.
Babies are ignorant. People are ignorant of those things they haven’t either discovered for themselves or been taught by others. But the Bible uses instead the word, ‘fool’ which means, “a person who acts unwisely or imprudently.”
The word ‘fool’ is independent of educational background or innate mental acuity. And by its application, it means ‘only the unwise and imprudent would say there is no God’.
…There are five unassailable arguments that demand the existence of God, not the least of which is the ontological argument offered in Romans 1:20.

“These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father.” (John 16:26)
If there is a single word that permeates every discussion on virtually every topic of interest, particularly in the United States, that word would be fear.
Fear so palpable that politicians can mold it like putty, reshape it and use it to sell a fearful public pretty much anything.
Obama uses fear like a tool – in his world, the reason the Democrats lost the mid-terms was because the voters were too fearful or too intellectually challenged to understand his agenda.
But there are plenty of legitimate reasons for fear, not the least of which is President Obama himself. His policies, both foreign and economic, are terrifying to anyone not too fearful of being called a racist or too intellectually challenged not to understand his agenda.
Disappointed With God?
Jack Kinsella – Omega Letter Editor
Although few of us want to admit it, it is my firm suspicion that everybody has found themselves, at one time or another, disappointed by God.
Among those who DO admit to it, there are those who’ve gone the extra half-inch from being disappointed BY God into being disappointed WITH God. And with church. And with other Christians. And with doctrinal divisions. And with the whole spiritual conflict in general.
It isn’t enough to have some well-meaning friend remind you that ‘life is hard, and at the end, you die.” Or that ‘God never promised you a rose garden.’
