"Look! I Am Making All Things New"

Conclusion of The God of the Bible

The glorious wonders that surround us-the flowers, the birds, the animals, the marvelous creation called man, the miracles of life and of birth-these all testify to the invisible Master Intellect that produced them.   (Romans 1:20) Where there is intellect, there is mind. Where there is mind, there is a person.  The supreme intellect is that of the Supreme Person, the Creator of all things living,the very Fountain of life.  (Psalm 36:9) The Creator is indeed worthy of all praise and adoration. -Psalm 104:24; Revelation 4:11. 

There are some whose belief in God was shaken by the hard experiences of World War II.   At that time each country called upon its "God," whether of the Catholic or Protestant religions or of the Oriental religions.  Could it be said that "God" gave victory to some of these nations and allowed others to be defeated?  The Bible shows that none of these nations were calling on the true God. Jehovah God, the Creator of heaven and earth, is not responsible for the confusion and wars among then nations.  (1 Corinthians 14:33) His thoughts are far above those of the political and militaristic nations of this earth.  (Isaiah 55:8, 9) Likewise, the true religion and worship of Jehovah has no part in the wars of the nations.  Jehovah is far above nationalistic gods. He is unique in being the God of peace-loving men and women in all nations. As the Bible says:  "God is not partial, but in every nation the man that fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him." (Acts 10:34, 35)   Righteously inclined persons in all nations are now learning the Bible and are embracing the worship of the true "God who gives peace," the Creator of all mankind.  -Romans 16:20; Acts 17:24-27. 

Some people point to the divisions and hypocrisy in the religions of Christendom, which claim to follow the Bible."  They also say, 'How can I believe the God of the Bible, when the nations that have the Bible are among those feverishly stockpiling nuclear weapons?'  The fact is that, while the Bible remains always true, the nations of Christendom have become as far removed from Bible  Christianity as the North Pole is removed from the South Pole.  They are hypocritical in professing Christianity. They have the Bible, but they don't obey its teaching.  The American president who ordered the first atom bomb dropped on Hiroshima once explained:  "Oh, for an Isaiah or a St. Paul!" -to guide men in this world crisis. Had he agreed with the Isaiah of the Bible, he would never have dropped an atom bomb, for Isaiah advocated 'beating  swords into plowshares and spears into pruning shears."  Moreover, it  was Paul of the Bible who declared:  "We do not wage warfare according to what we are in the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly." (Isaiah 2;4; 2 Corinthians 10:3, 4)  However, instead of following the wise counsel of the Bible, the nations of Christendom have become involved in suicidal armaments race. Any claims they make to being Bible-obeying Christians are false.  They must face God's judgement for failing to do his will. -Matthew 7:18-23; Zephaniah 1:17, 18.
