PASTORAL WORD: faith (Hebrews 11, verse one))


















Brothers and sisters, I would like to meditate with you today on the subject above. The faith. I think a lot of people thinking that you know what is faith. There are a lot of people educated thinking know about faith and you arguing the point d faith. Are the philosophers. Discuss faith, religion and science. Some even dare to say what is the difference between religion and religiosity. The non-Christian philosophers come to make it clear to us that we are theologians the idea that science is right in your questions on issues of faith. Now, we know there's between faith and science at a distance too large. We also know that most of the time the science and I speak of phony science that is prevalent, questions the faith and do not believe in anything. There are the so-called skeptics. To that God exists, but also might not exist that both makes. The philosophy advocates those saying they are not atheists. For me are so atheists as reportedly they claim to be.
I have seen and heard one of these days a philosophers saying that science and faith has a same offer speaking the absurdity that the two speak the same thing and go to the same point with a difference: the faith believe to see and Science see it to believe it. Concluded that it is all the same and both arrive at the same point. This is untrue and can only come out of the mouths of those who do not believe in anything and want to stay in a comfortable position. Just think to realize that something is completely different from another. Who need to see it to believe it actually is not believing in anything even though it says that it is to have faith. It's not because the faith is opposite. Who really have faith you don't have to see it to believe it. It is to have faith. In the past God said to a man named Noah: it's going to rain and I'm going to destroy the Earth with water. Until then there was rained upon the Earth. There was only one that fueled steam the vegetables. But this man believed that would rain Yes and had no reference to respect of rains. That is faith. Believed in the rain without ever seeing her. Of course, skeptics and unbelievers don't believe in that Noah preached about. But he began the construction of the Ark and preached to the people that God would destroy the Earth with rain. Jesus himself says, as were the days of Noah are the days of the coming of the son of man. In the days of Noah were eating, drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the Ark, and the flood came and took them all. (Matthew, twenty-four verses 37 to 39) Today being the same thing. We preach, we announce that Jesus will come back and no one, especially the philosophers believe. Will only understand when Jesus comes back. But it will be too late as it was for the people before the flood. In the text of the writer to the Hebrews chapter 11 verse is very clear to anyone who wants to see and has no claim to know more about Jesus Christ and the Bible, that faith comes before see. Who needs to see it to believe it has no faith at all. The way that philosophy places saying that both blinds at the same place and that it would be only a matter of semantics is false. Who has faith simply believes in you still do not see and believe in that which is expected. Who have faith know that God is not what we about him. Aquila In fact, He said to Moses: "I am what I am". For those who know the theology thing is simple: God does not exist. God is if it did exist it would not be eternal. There comes from the Latin prefix Ex meaning out of. This is not the case of the Eternal God. So God is, but that's not what they preach false philosophers who have no knowledge of God, and less than an experiential life with him. That's the big difference: faith makes me to feel and see the invisible. It is interesting that personal positioning. That God is our God if it were seen with eyes limited? Where was he? How could the limited eyes see all parts of the world and the universe? Yes. God is everywhere. He has no limits. As the limited could see him? But we believe and hope and certainty in him. He is real. Never forget that, All science is empirical. Faith is sure.
Have faith and a life more peaceful and hopeful. We came from God. We're here to glorify him and we're going back to him. Amen.
Rev. Jesué Francisco da Silva
