Answering Secular Humanism

But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

(1 Peter 3:15) KJV

Answering secular humanists who insist that a good God and hell can’t coexist isn’t impossible, but it’s going to take some work. That’s why the gospel is so simple:

Salvation

  1. Call upon the name of Jesus Christ,
    • believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead,
  2. confess your sin.

A Geocentrospheric Solution

It is he who sits above the circle of the earth,
and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers;
who stretches out the heavens like a curtain,
and spreads them like a tent to dwell in;

(Isaiah 40:22) ESV

If God’s sitting on the circle of the Earth, and God’s throne is in heaven, then “the circle of the Earth” describes something orbiting the Earth, not the Earth itself. The circle of the Earth isn’t Discworld.

Unintelligent Design

This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men. But avoid foolish disputes, genealogies, contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and useless.

(Titus 3:8-9) NKJV

Is Intelligent Design an intelligent choice? The short answer: NO

But let’s take a step back and see if we can parse this in a way which will be the most benefit to as many people as possible.

A Tribulation Anoxic Event

And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.

(Revelation 8:8-9) KJV

And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.

(Revelation 16:3) KJV

The Cenomanian-Turonian anoxic event may have an analogue in prophecy. So what does the scripture say? Is there any evidence that an anoxic mass-extinction event is recorded in the Bible?

Heavy Rainfall and Aridity

And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, that the waters were dried up from the earth; and Noah removed the covering of the ark and looked, and indeed the surface of the ground was dry. And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dried.

(Genesis 8:13-14) NKJV

If the rocks of the Devonian tell a tale of the world being flooded and then drying out, why are we surprised?

Strong Delusion

The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

(2 Thessalonians 2:9-12) NKJV

Why would God send a strong delusion if we’ve been given knowledge of the truth? Do you love the truth, or hate it? Some people don’t want it. You have a choice. You can believe anything you want.
