He was mocked for believing in God. But his response was EPIC!!!


Professor : You are a Christian, aren’t you, son ?

Student : Yes, sir.

Professor: So, you believe in GOD ?

Student : Absolutely, sir.

Professor : Is GOD good ?

Student : Sure.

Professor: Is GOD all powerful ?

Student : Yes.

Professor: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to GOD to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn’t. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?

(Student was silent.)

Professor: You can’t answer, can you ? Let’s start again, young fella. Is GOD good?

Student : Yes.

Professor: Is satan good ?

Student : No.

Professor: Where does satan come from ?

Student : From … GOD …

Professor: That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?

Student : Yes.

Professor: Evil is everywhere, isn’t it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct?

Student : Yes.

Professor: So who created evil ?

(Student did not answer.)

Professor: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don’t they?

Student : Yes, sir.

Professor: So, who created them ?

(Student had no answer.)

Professor: Science says you have 5 Senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son, have you ever seen GOD?

Student : No, sir.

Professor: Tell us if you have ever heard your GOD?

Student : No , sir.

Professor: Have you ever felt your GOD, tasted your GOD, smelt your GOD? Have you ever had any sensory perception of GOD for that matter?

Student : No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.

Professor: Yet you still believe in Him?

Student : Yes.

Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son?

Student : Nothing. I only have my faith.

Professor: Yes, faith. And that is the problem Science has.

Student : Professor, is there such a thing as heat?

Professor: Yes.

Student : And is there such a thing as cold?

Professor: Yes.

Student : No, sir. There isn’t.

(The lecture theater became very quiet with this turn of events.)

Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don’t have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.

(There was pin-drop silence in the lecture theater.)

Student : What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?

Professor: Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness?

Student : You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light. But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness, isn’t it? In reality, darkness isn’t. If it is, well you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?

Professor: So what is the point you are making, young man ?

Student : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.

Professor: Flawed ? Can you explain how?

Student : Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good GOD and a bad GOD. You are viewing the concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can’t even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing.

Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?

Professor: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.

Student : Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?

(The Professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument was going.)

Student : Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor. Are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?

(The class was in uproar.)

Student : Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?

(The class broke out into laughter. )

Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?

(The room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face unfathomable.)

Professor: I guess you’ll have to take them on faith, son.

Student : That is it sir … Exactly ! The link between man & GOD is FAITH. That is all that keeps things alive and moving.

P.S.

I believe you have enjoyed the conversation. And if so, you’ll probably want your friends / colleagues to enjoy the same, won’t you?

Forward this to increase their knowledge … or FAITH.

By the way, that student was EINSTEIN.

The next time you are questioned, remember that the spark that runs through our veins, the electricity that pulsates and the energy of creation unites us all.

That “spark”, however you want to name it, is what keeps us alive and thriving.

“But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.” – James 1:6

Are you a believer? Share this message of faith!

1 Corinthians 1:25 For the “stupidity” of God is WISER than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is STRONGER than human strength.

PASTORAL LETTER OF THE BROTHERHOOD OF CHRISTIAN BUSINESSMEN AND PROFESSIONALS (BCBP)

This Pastoral Letter has been written by the leadership of the Brotherhood of Christian Businessmen and Professionals (BCBP) to provide pastoral guidance to our community.
We are deeply concerned about recent pronouncements made by no less than the President of the country against God, the Bible, and the Catholic faith.

Threats and insults have also been directed against members of the clergy and the Church which have been attributed to the stand taken by our bishops and priests against our government’s acts especially on extrajudicial killings.

We strongly believe these should not be allowed to pass without our community taking a stand for our Lord Jesus Christ and for the Catholic Church to which we belong.

The pronouncements against God, the Catholic Church, and our Church leaders should be viewed from the following perspectives:

Firstly, as Filipino citizens, we should be gravely concerned that our rights to free speech, the exercise of our faith and the right to live under the rule of law and a regime of truth, justice, freedom, love, equality and peace as enshrined in our Constitution and our Bill of Rights are being violated and threatened by the government and by the leaders who are mandated to defend and uphold such rights.

Secondly, as Catholics, we have to stand up for the Lord and for the faith that we profess, specifically in addressing the half-truths, inaccuracies, and patently false accusations about the Catholic faith and the Church as an organization. As stated in 2 Timothy 1:7, “For God did not give us the spirit of cowardice but rather of power and love and self-control.”

Finally, as members of the BCBP, we need to be guided by our commitment to “community and nation-building, the practice of justice and integrity, and responsible care for all entrusted to us.”

Our community position against the persecution in our midst extends beyond just our Catholic faithful. It is a stand for all Filipinos, regardless of religious, social, and political affiliation.

That said, as Filipinos, Catholic Christians, and BCBP members, how should we respond in the light of all these attacks against our faith and our Church?

1. PRAYERS.

Our primary recourse is to PRAY unceasingly to God for our leaders whether they be in government, socio-civic groups or religious communities.

Let us ask the Lord to send forth His Holy Spirit to renew our country and our people.

As we pray, we also ask the Lord to show us what we as individuals can do to promote justice, peace, respect for others, and their beliefs, truthfulness in thought, word, and deed in our homes, workplaces, and communities.

Let us pray for courage, perseverance, and wisdom in dealing with these grave issues.

2. VIGILANCE.

Let us remain vigilant and be informed with what is happening in our neighborhoods, cities, and country, especially as it relates to decisions and actions that our leaders in government, civil society and the Church make.

We should actively engage our public servants, our congressmen, and senators so that they will enact laws that will strengthen and affirm, rather than disregard or even violate our Constitution.

3. DISCERNMENT.

Regardless of our political affiliations, let us take an objective, discerning view of socio-political acts and pronouncements in the light of our Catholic faith and social teachings so that we can make choices that are aligned with the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ.

4. BOLDNESS.

When we encounter statements or pronouncements in our social media feeds about God and our faith that are false, blasphemous, disrespectful, let us be bold for the Lord by either providing the correction to the statement or by being a personal witness of God’s goodness in your life.

This should be done in the spirit of Matthew 5:38-42. “Jesus said to His disciples, “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I say to you, offer no resistance to one who is evil. When someone strikes you on your right cheek, turn the other one to him as well.”

For example to the statement, “Yung God ng Katoliko torpe,” you might reply in the manner…

“Our God teaches us not to kill or harm, but to forgive and turn the other cheek. By my own experience, God is my fortress, my strength, and deliverer, and He is my Savior. He is not weak or a coward. He is strong and faithful.”

If you are in a forum or meeting wherein someone makes statements or pronouncements or jokes against God or our faith, make a stand by not joining in the applause/laughter or by walking out.

5. ASSERTIVENESS.

Use social media responsibly to uphold truth, justice, and life. Your voice and your stand are needed by the Church to combat lies, injustice, and the culture of death and impunity.

6. LEADER SELECTION.

As citizens, we stand for what we believe in by choosing wisely those whom we elect into office.

Senators, congressmen and even our local officials have the authority and power not only to make laws and ordinances but even to change our Constitution.

Let us be discerning and use the “GabayKristo” to vet public servants on the basis of their love of God, love of family, love of country, and genuine desire to devote honest and competent public service.

Brothers and Sisters in the BCBP, these are times that call for true discipleship.

Let us stand with and for our Lord Jesus Christ.

We are men and women of Jesus Christ
We come to serve the Lord
In the strength of God.
Come servants of the Lord
Come and take your stand.

For the BCBP Community.
