Einstein 2
Q: Wasnt Einstein against the idea of God?
A: it doesnt matter what any human thinks about God in that He exists regardless of whether people believe. Lol.
Not only does 1. Creation itself (everything that exists, you, me, the world, the universe, DNA etc...) point to God, but also 2. the miracle @ the Christian's conversion (God radically changes us into a new person, gives us spiritual life & seals us with the Holy Spirit), as well as 3. everything in the Bible (which has proved itself true, trustworthy and reliable in modern times thru archeology and science- tho those who lived thru it with God with them from Eden to Founding of Israel to Jesus, the Apostles and their students in their lifetime).
About Einstein...
Other Quotes of Einstein, about God.
"I do not share the crusading spirit of the professional atheist whose fervor is mostly due to a painful act of liberation from the fetters of [God] [learned] in youth. I prefer an attitude of humility corresponding to the weakness of our intellectual understanding of nature and of our own being."
"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."
"When the solution is simple, God is answering."
"My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind."
"I want to know all Gods thoughts; all the rest are just details."
"I want to know how God created this world. I am not interested in this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element. I want to know God's thoughts, the rest are details."
"The devil has put a penalty on all things we enjoy in life. Either we suffer in our health, or we suffer in our soul, or we get fat."
"There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle."
"There comes a time when the mind takes a higher plane of knowledge but can never prove how it got there."
An actual read of the Bible & this Book on Einstein answers his confusion and provides what is necessary for him to understand. Unfortunately never got this info, but those alive today can access it and have an understanding of God that they did not have before.
Einstein said, "We only know about 2% of all the knowledge in the Universe." So, today you have the ability to learn the answers to things he couldn't grasp. And didn't have access to, to have more knowledge than He did, and more than you had yesterday.
As for the things of God that He struggled with, such as: < He cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes people who are supposedly made in his likeness. He also didn't understand how the individual survives the death of his body, and thought the things after death spoke of by the religious seemed "about" fear. > but having a basic grasp on the co tents of the Bible and the gospel certainly would have completely given him the answer to that conundrum he had.
About fear and misunderstanding it within "religous" context of Christianity
The reasonability of eternal Hell makes sense in light of the gospel.
These thoughts Einstein held to (and the below) are the reason he had incorrect views. He didn't understand them, & never seemed to seek out pastors and theology professors in order to get these answers.
More issues he had, that have answers.
"I do not believe in the God of theology who rewards good and punishes evil."
"I am a deeply religious nonbeliever - this is a somewhat new kind of religion."
"That deep emotional conviction of the presence of a superior reasoning power, which is revealed in the incomprehensible universe, forms my idea of God."
"We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality."
So you can see in the above referenced materials linked, the actual answers to all the things he couldn't wrap his head around. He also created a god, which is a violation of the Commandments and of truth. Any other God than the one revealed in Scripture, is a false god. One made up by the imagination, for preference; that one can feel comfortable with vs the truth. But, Reality will hit you like a MAC truck sooner or later. It doesn't change cuz you don't like it, or don't understand it.
The only question is, do you resolve your difficulties around the things of God now (to find out the truth), or do you wait till you step into eternity (when it's too late) and face Him as the Judge. I hope you choose the former, cuz (spoiler alert) anyone who stands before God on Judgment Day is a guilty condemned criminal already. The only thing to do is reveal the 1 million crimes you committed and toss you directly into eternal prison (never ending punishment).
You can avoid it easily.... submit to God, surrender to Jesus, repent [once and for all time] of your sins, & trust that Jesus paid the penalty for your crimes so you can go free and be among those who spend eternity with Him in the new Earth and new Heaven.
Tomorrow's not guaranteed, that's why God tells you today is the day of salvation. Do not delay. Get right with God today.
Simply confess to Him in prayer, trust Jesus and God will convert you into a new creation at that moment of salvation.
Einstein also said " The further the spiritual progress of mankind advances, the more certain it seems to me that the path to genuine religiosity does not lie through the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith, but through striving after rational knowledge."
God has said clearly: Come let us REASON together. He also said Believe based on the Evidences.
So come to know the Triune God exists, that Jesus is the Savior, that the Bible and Gospel are true, and having found truth, it is "rational" to trust in HIM.
Examine all the resources provided here, and you will see. 😊
I pray that if you found this info, that means God us drawing you to Himself and will use this info to do so.
