Re: Ernest Izett ‘Christhurch needs a venue for all (Sun, August 23). So the world just came into being and ‘creation' oops just evolved from something simple to something complicated. I see devolution more than evolution. I wonder why a horse and donkey mating can only produce a sterile mule?
Personally, I'm not particularly interested in cathedrals, cardboard or concrete, although some of the latter are magnificent.
God, the Bible says, doesn't live in buildings made with hands. His Holy Spirit dwells in a man. Jesus Christ the center-piece of all was a Jew born and bred in Israel. An historic figure even Muslims accept that fact they just don't accept his deity.
Take a trip to Israel and you'll see how Jesus's life, the Bible and the countryside all concur. Take for example his trial, death and crucifixion, even the tomb he walked out of three days after his burial. The buildings where he was tried are still there.
Sure, like you Ernest I don't know where God came from but I do know when you accept him as your Saviour life takes on a full and wonderful meaning.
Finally the Bible contains prophesies, over 400 have already been fulfilled, just coincidence?
