There has been a concerted effort during the past few decades to ridicule belief in God. Consider the reasoning in the picture and ask yourself- how much sense does this make?
But God says....
Psalm 14 (WEB)
1 The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”...
Psalm 53 (WEB)
1 The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”...
Notice one simple thing- God repeats himself for emphasis!!! Perhaps the second time was in case the reader wasn't paying attention the first time!!!
hummm..
Without God
There is only this life.
There is no hope for your loved ones; they are dead and its completely finished (except for the rotting corpse, of course).
Civility and morals make no sense- just do what you want, when you want.
Human being become animals and society is brutal.
Then, there is the continuation of this thought from the previous passages, more completely quoted....
Psalm 14 (WEB)
1 The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”
They are corrupt.
They have done abominable works.
There is no one who does good.
to see if there were any who understood,
who sought after God.
They have together become corrupt.
There is no one who does good, no, not one.
Psalm 53 (WEB)
1 The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”
They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity.
There is no one who does good.
to see if there are any who understood,
who seek after God.
They have become filthy together.
There is no one who does good, no, not one.
These verses are essentially identical and for good reason: Without God, human beings degenerate into unreasoning animals.
The Scripture says "The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”
for a very good reason-
TRUTH
