TOTALLY T or F -Of course, every house is constructed by someone, but he that constructed all things is God.?

Question

FROM- the Bible at --Hebrews 3:4

NOW THE LOGIC & REASONING:

If we saw a beautiful estate, with buildings of all kinds, beautiful 3 story house with 20,000 sq. feet of space, barns, zoo, amusement rides, ski slopes, horseback riding stables & trails, natural water swimming pools etc. --on a 100 acre piece of land & we wished to meet the maker of this beautiful estate!

--What if we could not find the person, nor his designers, building crew etc. They as people could not be found anywhere to MEET and TALK to,--- no matter how hard we tried?

--Would we deny that anybody built & developed this beautiful piece of property OR would we resign ourselves to the fact that somebody indeed did make this fantastic place?

--Why cannot this reasoning & logic be applied to God?

--Does not the same scenario exist as it does with our lost owner and his staff?

Answer 1

The Bible states: “Every house is built by someone, of course; but God built everything that exists.” (Hebrews 3:4, The Jerusalem Bible) Since any house, however simple, must have a builder, then the far more complex universe, along with the vast varieties of life on earth, must also have had a builder. And since we acknowledge the existence of humans who invented devices such as airplanes, televisions, and computers, should we not also acknowledge the existence of the One who gave humans the brain to make such things?

When you look at a beautiful building, have you ever wondered who the builder was? If someone told you that no one had built the building, but that it had simply come into existence by itself, would you believe it? Of course not! As a Bible writer said: “Every house is constructed by someone.” Everyone knows that. Well, then, can we not accept the logical conclusion of the Bible writer: “He that constructed all things is God”?

Consider the universe with its billions of billions of stars. Yet all of them move in the heavens according to laws that keep them in perfect relation to one another. “Who has created these things?” was a question asked long ago. The answer given makes sense: “It is the One who is bringing forth the army of them even by number, all of whom he calls even by name.” Surely it would be foolish to think that the billions of stars just made themselves, and, without any direction, formed the great star systems that move with such marvelous order!

This highly organized universe could not have just come about by itself. An intelligent Creator with great power was needed. (Psalm 19:1, 2) A businessman who was asked why he believed in God explained that in his factory it takes two days for a girl to learn how to put the 17 parts of a meat chopper together. “I am merely a plain manufacturer of cutlery,” he said. “But this I do know, that you can shake the 17 parts of a meat chopper around in a washtub for the next 17 billion years and you’ll never have a meat chopper.” This universe, including the many forms of life on earth, is so much more complicated than a meat chopper. If such a machine requires a skilled maker, we can be certain that an Almighty God was needed to create all things. Should not credit go to him for what he has done?

Answer 2

Exception That Proves The Rule:

a specific example of Cliche Thinking. This is used when a rule has been asserted, and someone points out the rule doesn't always work. The cliche rebuttal is that this is "the exception that proves the rule". Many people think that this cliche somehow allows you to ignore the exception, and continue using the rule.

In fact, the cliche originally did no such thing. There are two standard explanations for the original meaning.

The first is that the word "prove" meant test. That is why the military takes its equipment to a Proving Ground to test it. So, the cliche originally said that an exception tests a rule. That is, if you find an exception to a rule, the cliche is saying that the rule is being tested, and perhaps the rule will need to be discarded.

The second explanation is that the stating of an exception to a rule, proves that the rule exists. For example, suppose it was announced that "Over the holiday weekend, students do not need to be in the dorms by midnight". This announcement implies that normally students do have to be in by midnight.In either case, the cliche is not about waving away objections.

Answer 3

YOur crazy. Thats not an equal comparison. Its like saying some one had to make this rick look like a face. No just over time the water, winds and earth changes just randomly ploped out a rock. Now that isnt the same eather, but its closer.

See the house was thought up and built as a complex structure within days. Evolution took millions of years. Your implying that complex beings just came to be over night. NO! Slowly and slowly natural selection took place. Your implying that we just went from the bottom of the mountain to the top just by chance. No! Instead of trying to jump up to the top of the mountain (which you are implying. And yes jumping to the top would be statisticly improbable something like 7to the 9billionths power)) evolution slowly walks up the back of the mountain. Which is very easy to do over time.

Answer 4

What would ever make you think that anyone would deny that anybody built that estate? That's just silly.

It's obviously just as silly to say "God built that estate", and even sillier to say "God built all the trees and mountains and rivers and the like".

Your logic seems to be "somebody built some stuff, so somebody must have built everything". That, of course, it utterly false - it's just plain bad logic, as must be blindingly obvious. Why are you denying it?

Answer 5

Well, you see, if God built my house, then he isn't a very good architect, because it's drafty and creaky as he**.
Plus, we have an alternate explanation - one with evidence other than "well, something must have put this here" logic. It's called the Big Bang.

Answer 6

Maybe your parents didn't cover this, but HOUSES DO NOT HAVE SEX.

That means there's no DNA to pass along to the next generation, no mutations, and no way for simple single-cell houses to become more complex.

Answer 7

I saw a tree. I don't necessarily think anyone built it.
