<div class="SSN_title">"THE REASON WHY."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">I. WHY DO I EXIST?</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. A basic question of the philosophers.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. No real question for evolutionists.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. I exist by accident, rather a long series of fortuitous occurrences of accidental circumstances.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. If I am the product of chance, no real reason for existing.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">3. The teaching of evolution as an accepted fact of science to the children and is one of the greatest contributors to the widespread use of drugs and alcohol among our teens and pre-teens.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. The argument, you are destroying your life is meaning less and less.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. So what, no reason to exist anyhow.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">C. The question only exists for the rational man who looks beyond creation to the Creator.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. If God created me, He must have had a reason for doing so.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">II. WE WATCH MAN SEARCH FOR FULFILLMENT.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. The very search testifies of an emptiness.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Man seems to have an itch he can't scratch.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. A thirst he can't satisfy.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">3. The consciousness that there must be more to life.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">4. Solomon cried out, "Emptiness, emptiness, life is empty and frustrating."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. He searches in vain for he searches in things where it cannot be found.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Drunk, searching for bus token.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Fulfillment in success.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">3. Fulfillment in riches.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">4. Fulfillment in education.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">5. Fame.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">6. Pleasure.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Half of the people who watch Superbowl today will be upset and disappointed when it is over.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">III. ANSWER TO LIFE FOUND IN TEXT.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. God created everything.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. God created everything for His own pleasure.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. You cry, "That's not fair."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Why?</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. Hasn't the Potter power over the clay to...</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">c. The clay can't yell, "Stop that. I don't want to be a flower pot, I want to be a plate."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">d. Imperfect analogy for God endowed us with a free choice.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">e. I can say to the Potter, "I refuse to be what you want to make of me."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. You say, "I don't appreciate that."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. That's tough. That's the way it is, you can't change that.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. You can fight it.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">1. The prophet said, "Woe to him who strives with his maker."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">2. Life will be filled with woe.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">3. Life will end in frustration.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">4. You can fight but you can't win.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">3. You can accept it and live by it.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. "I will live for God's pleasure."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">1. Life will take on new meaning.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">2. An infinite dimension.</div>
