1 3/29/2015 Defending Our Father s Honor Logikos Apologetics Part 6 of 7 Time verifies Judgment And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment, so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation. For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God?

Introduction: Why should you be able to defend your beliefs about both our good God and suffering? After Time has taken its toll Defending our Father s Honor Good Shepherd Initiative Education, Counseling Logikos Apologetics verifies God verifies Creation verifies Scripture verifies Christianity verifies Jesus 6. Time verifies Judgment 7. Action verifies Faithfulness (John 1:1) (Romans 1:20) (Luke 1:1-4) (Romans 3:28) (Luke 24:25-27) (Hebrews 9:27) (James 2:20) Time keeps on slipping, slipping, slipping, into the future. I want to fly like an eagle Steve Miller Band Fly Like an Eagle For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God. Romans 8:

2 TIME to start thinking... Did God Begin? Today, some anti-theists mistakenly think this question somehow challenges belief in God. They apparently have forgotten that Einstein s General Relativity Theory and now experimentation show that TIME is a property of this finite universe. -so TIME itself had a BEGINNING. Scripture says God created time & so transcends it. (2Tim 1:9, Tit 1:2, 1Cor 2:7) So, God is eternal and had NO beginning. His name YHWH means the self-existent I AM. The Deceiver offers an escape from DEATH (from the consequences of sin & separation) Lucifer offered, You shall not die Religions offer many ways to work it out Science Fiction & Science Theorists offer: Time Travel to escape the end that is coming But Scientific American s imaginative Time-Travel Wormhole is NO ESCAPE You Can t Travel Back in Time, Scientists Say In physics, time is described as a dimension much like length, width, and height. Space and time are tangled together in a sort of a four-dimensional fabric called space-time, said Charles Liu, an astrophysicist with the City University of New York. In this four-dimensional space-time, you re only able to move forward in time, Liu told LiveScience. the only definitive part of travel in the fourth dimension is that we re stepping further into the future with each passing moment , LIVESCIENCE.COM Time Travel? No Escape! Arrow of Time Order Always Decreases Arrow of Time Entropy Always Increases Second Law of Thermodynamics = Time s Arrow (One-Directional flow of time and decay) Like a car rusting, my aging, even universal heat death But theoretical quantum physicists speculate time s arrow is bi-directional at the (subatomic) micro-level. Yet we live at the macro-level that eventually decays. So, there is NO ESCAPE from Time s Arrow It will get you in the END UNLESS (John 11:25) But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. Matthew 12:36 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away. Matthew 24:35 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. 2 Peter 3:10-2
