Anyway, how is it that hardcore believers explain fossils?
...
For all of you hardcores, is there any direct reference to God's immortatlity in the Bible?
1. CSEE answered this briefly on page 3.
2. Yes, there is plenty of reference to it. First of all, there is a plenitude of references to eternal life, which is to be lived with God, thereby implying his eternality. But that doesn't quite answer your question. Here are a few select verses that are explicit regarding God.
Hebrews 9:14 RSVA how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through
the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify your conscience from dead works to serve the living God.
1 Timothy 6:14-16 RSVA I charge you to keep the commandment unstained and free from reproach until the appearing of
our Lord Jesus Christ; and this will be made manifest at the proper time by the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords,
who alone has immortality...
Romans 1:20-23 RSVA Ever since the creation of the world his invisible nature, namely,
his eternal power and deity, has been clearly perceived in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse; for although they knew God they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking and their senseless minds were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the
glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man or birds or animals or reptiles.
1 Timothy 1:15-17 RSVA The saying is sure and worthy of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. And I am the foremost of sinners; but I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience for an example to those who were to believe in him for eternal life. To the King of ages,
immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Romans 16:25-27 RSVA Now to him who is able to strengthen you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which was kept secret for long ages but is now disclosed and through the prophetic writings is made known to all nations, according to the command of
the eternal God, to bring about the obedience of faith--to the only wise God be glory for evermore through Jesus Christ! Amen.
Genesis 21:33 RSVA Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of the LORD,
the Everlasting God.
Isaiah 40:28 RSVA Have you not known? Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary, his understanding is unsearchable.
Jeremiah 10:10 RSVA But the LORD is the true God;
he is the living God and the everlasting King. At his wrath the earth quakes, and the nations cannot endure his indignation.
And so on and so forth. The Bible is full of such references.
