Faith Science - Athiests and Agnostics Parading As Scientists

Mr. Duncan is a theologian, not a scientist. Rather than spend his time on academic pursuits, Duncan spends his time (by his own admission: “twenty-four hours a day”) on“spreading the gospel.”
—Arthur Ide, PhD, MD, DA: October 6, 2005, responding to comments by Donnell Duncan on the article “Drawing a Line in the Academic Sand” on Inside Higher Ed.

I guess I pushed this man over the edge when I said the following in
a heated debate that day: “Intelligent design is definitely a sketchy
issue, but some of the foundational principles of evolution, though
widely accepted, are also highly debatable. A university is the one
place where we hope students can develop into independent thinkers.
If they cannot even discuss the validity of a contentious scientific
theory with the faculty in a bio-physical science class, then some of
that independence is lost. It is unfortunate that a public university
administration chooses to be one sided instead of allowing competing
theories fair exposure.”

The most beautiful system of the sun, planets, and comets could
only proceed from the counsel and dominion on an intelligent
and powerful Being.
—Sir Isaac Newton (1642–1727), Principia (1687)

Science and theology are not mutually exclusive. Sir Isaac Newton
is considered to be one of the most prominent physicists, mathematicians, astronomers, chemists, and theologians. Newton’s laws of
motion are the foundational principles for classical mechanics. He
also wrote the book “Observations upon the Prophecies of Daniel
and the Apocalypse of St. John.” If I were to respond with the same
logic as those secular scientists who think Christians can’t also be
scientists, I would say, “These guys are agnostics and atheists; they
are not scientists.”

Faith Science - Love Brings Faith To Life

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision
avails anything, but faith working through love.
Galatians 5:6 nkjv

In much the same way that unbelief kills faith, love has the opposite
effect. When Jesus was moved with compassion in Matthew
14:14, he healed every sick person. Then in the following verses he
miraculously multiplied food to feed all who were following him at
the time. The Bible says in 1 John 4:18 that perfect love removes fear,
which is the root of unbelief. A revelation of God’s love removes the
limitations placed on what your faith can do. It causes you to believe
the unbelievable and brings the impossible to life. Because of love, a
mother has the faith to lift up a car to save the life of her child who’s
trapped underneath. Because of love, a father has the faith to pray
for his son with all of his heart and see deliverance. When there is
love, people start believing God for the impossible.

Let’s look at this from another perspective. If you believe that I
love you, you’ll have faith in what I say to you. When I believed the
love of God, I had the faith to receive his salvation. Thus, my belief
in his love now empowers my faith in his healing, deliverance, and
provision. In general, his love is the catalyst for my faith in his Word.
I’m sure that he loves me, so I believe what he says and don’t struggle
with living a life that reflects that. He must bring his Word to pass
in my life because he promised it.

Remember the former things of old, For I am God, and there
is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me, Declaring the
end from the beginning, And from ancient times things that are
not yet done, Saying, “My counsel shall stand, And I will do all
My pleasure,” Calling a bird of prey from the east, The man who
executes My counsel, from a far country. Indeed I have spoken
it; I will also bring it to pass. I have purposed it; I will also do it.
Isaiah 46:9–11 nkjv

I trust God’s Word because I trust God’s love. Keeping that in mind,
nothing in his Word is beyond belief for me. What about you? Why
do you struggle to believe what you read in God’s Word? Maybe it’s
because you struggle to believe his love for you. Settle it today with
1 John 4:8! God is love, so it’s inconceivable that his love can have
limits. Nothing you can or cannot do can stop his love, so you’re better
off accepting the inevitable. He loves you, and if you can believe
that, your faith in His Word will be seen. Since nothing can separate
us from God’s love, according to Romans 8:37–39, let nothing separate
you from your faith.

Faith Science - Unbelief Kills Faith

So I brought him to Your disciples, but they could not cure
him. Then Jesus answered and said, “O faithless and perverse
generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear
with you? Bring him here to Me.” And Jesus rebuked the demon,
and it came out of him; and the child was cured from that very
hour. Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why
could we not cast it out?” So Jesus said to them, “Because of your
unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard
seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’
and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.
Matthew 17:16–20 nkjv

Can you believe that the same disciples who had enough faith in
Jesus to leave everything behind and follow him hit a roadblock
when it came to using their faith to change certain things? Isn’t
that the same problem with us today? Many of us have the faith to
receive salvation, but from that point we struggle to progress. Jesus
lamented the faithlessness of his generation, so if he was on the
earth today he would surely lament over us also.

Why can’t we proficiently cast out demons? Because of our unbelief!
Why can’t we lay hands on the sick and consistently see them
recover? Because of our unbelief! Why can’t we speak to nature by
the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and see it obey the word of the
Lord? Because of our unbelief!

Instead of accepting that something is wrong with us, most people
I encounter continue to make excuses for the lack of tangible
power in the Western church. They lie on the Holy Spirit and say
that prophecy ended with John the Baptist. They claim that miracles
are only necessary for people who don’t understand the Scriptures.
They say we’re actually more advanced because of our knowledge,
even though we can’t show physical results. They continue to provide
natural solutions for clearly spiritual issues. They continue in
unbelief and wonder why there is such a big gap between what they
read in the Bible and what they see in their lives.

I refuse to limit myself to what other people believe or don’t
believe. Jesus Christ said, “For assuredly, I say to you, if you have
faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from
here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for
you,” (Matthew 17:20 nkjv). He also said, “If you can believe, all
things are possible to him who believes,” (Mark 9:23, nkjv).

In response to those words, a desperate father in need of healing
for his son with tears in his eyes cried out, “Lord, I believe; help
my unbelief,” (Mark 9:24 nkjv). Now that you’ve heard the same
words, what will your response be today? In John 11:27, Martha’s
belief opened the door for Jesus to raise her brother Lazarus from
the dead. In Mark 9:36, Jairus’ belief opened the door for his daughter
to rise from the dead. All the same, if you can’t believe just like
they did, your unbelief will shut the door on your miracle!

Now it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these parables,
that He departed from there. When He had come to His own
country, He taught them in their synagogue, so that they were
astonished and said, “Where did this Man get this wisdom and
these mighty works? Is this not the carpenter’s son? Is not His
mother called Mary? And His brothers James, Joses, Simon, and
Judas? And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did
this Man get all these things?” So they were offended at Him.
But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except
in his own country and in his own house.” Now He did not do
many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
Matthew 13:53–58 nkjv

The Word of the Lord is described in 1 Peter 1:23 as incorruptible
seed. In other words, as an entity of its own, it cannot be destroyed.
In Mark 4:13–20, Jesus explained that the condition of your heart
determines whether or not the incorruptible seed of the Word brings
fruit in your life. One of the most toxic environments possible is a
heart of unbelief. It is so bad that it stopped the power of Jesus from
operating among his people in the town where he grew up. The
same Jesus who could read minds, disappear into the midst of hostile
crowds, heal any sickness, control the weather, walk on water, raise
the dead, and save us from eternal death could not do much in an
environment full of unbelief.

Faith Science - The Axe Approach

Ecclesiastes 10:10(NKJV) - If the ax is dull, And one does not sharpen the edge, Then he must use more strength; But wisdom brings success.

Faith Science is my fourth book and I've learned some things along the way. The first thing I've learned is to never debate atheists about the things of The Lord unless I have to. Why?

Atheists are fools and should be treated as such - Psalm 14:1


They are not in search of truth. They have chosen to reject the truth and have chosen to be victims of their own ignorance. Watch the following video.
