Here is a response to your feedback: 1) The mortality of the universe is pretty well documented and proven. It is not a hypothesis or a theory rather derived from the Second Law of thermodynamics. This law states that the universe is running out of its useful energy and cannot be reversed. The universe is cooling off or running out of gas.There are places where stars are formed that have energy but whenever that happens the rest of the universe looses more energy than what is gained by the star.The net effect is always negative. The second law of thermodynamics states that the amount of energy in a system that is available to do work is decreasing. Entropy increases as available energy decreases. In other words, the purely natural tendency of things is to move toward chaos, not order, and available energy necessary for work is lost (mostly as heat) in this process. Eventually, the universe will run down and all life and motion will cease. This is the natural tendency of all things. Batteries run down, machines break, buildings crumble, roads decay, living things die, etc. Left to the natural state, all things would eventually cease to function. 2) I totally agree that whatever good work has happened has been for the general good of humanity and we all need to move forward. But again all the good work and it's utility remains restricted to the time that we have in the universe. But if God exists and there is the promised eternity then all those good works stand a chance to draw meaning,which is beyond the limited space and time of the universe. So without God these good works have only relative meaning and no ultimate meaning. Hope this was helpful. Hi Parit,

2) I totally agree that whatever good work has happened has been for the general good of humanity and we all need to move forward. But again all the good work and it’s utility remains restricted to the time that we have in the universe. But if God exists and there is the promised eternity then all those good works stand a chance to draw meaning,which is beyond the limited space and time of the universe. So without God these good works have only relative meaning and no ultimate meaning.

A true disciple of Christ will examine his faith before putting his faith. Also I'll suggest you to read "A case for CHrist" by lee strobbel to understand the authenticity of the bible that its truly God inspired word and then probably you'll beleive the first statement of your comment.

Although to predict that science will prove that there is no God negates the entire definition of faith...that faith, of course, is belief without proof. The idea that God can fit into a scientific equation is insane. Of course He can't. Although the idea of what is wrong and right has changed over the decades (for instance, it was thought a sin to marry outside your race), what is fundamentally Good and Evil has not.

A comes when many of these lose their ability to think in a heathier manner, they lose as well waste themselves like this causing trouble for the people around them. I just personally feel that such people need love, care, forgiveness and prayers to carry out themselves out of their shamful and contemptful life, to make them feel that they are accepted and forgiven by the the people around them. It is quiet difficult for the people to forgive them who become victim to the wrath, pleasure and cruelity; but God provides all these people the strength and courage to come out of it and forgive them. In the coming times all this is going to be the story of several people because the evil one will be doing all possible things to take away the world from God. It is all about in the gap and praying and trying to restore back these people to God.

Yet it ironical to see how people spend time in meaningless things which has no value in eternity. Whatever He's provided us has to be used so that His name is glorified but actually we're using it to glorify individuals. Good one.

Most people lie thinking that it is less harmful and why not do it if it is for a greater good ! We think that way because we see things only from a human perspective. But God who put this law in our heart says that for HIM a lie or a murder are equally gruesome and deserves only death. Becuase to HIM it was the origin of the wrong that mattered. The origin of every wrong is in our hearts and it is the condition of the heart that matters to HIM. It is in our hearts where we decide to disobey or rebel against God (the original SIN), the rest is just a question of how it gets manifested outside. That is why Jesus said 'But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart'. So we sin in our hearts, the core of our beings and that is who we really are.And it really takes a lot of guts and boldness to expose that area of our lives to others, unless we really are right with God in our hearts. And it really pays to come clean by confessing those to God himself because he can help you in correcting it. Even that can be so easily commercialised and trivialised in to a public spectacle for a few dollars. Once gain the wretched heart ! Santosh,great blog !
