Yes, Jesus is God! I believe the honest, inquiring heart will find here abundant evidence of that fact.Unbelief in Christ and the Bible is not based on learning; it is based on sin. Modernists, Unitarians, infidels are not that because they are intelligent; they are that because they are rebels. When a man does not believe in Christ, it is not an honest, "I cannot," but it is a stubborn, "I will not." Jesus said: "And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God" (John 3:19-21). Here is the real explanation of all the unbelief in the world. Unbelief is grounded primarily in the will that is against God, not in the intelligence. There are no scientific or historical or philosophical facts which can make any honest inquirer turn from the Bible or from Christ. If men believe a system of thought and doctrine which denies the truth of the Bible and the deity of Christ, some wicked motive (an "evil heart of unbelief," as Hebrews 3:12 says), either consciously or un-consciously, entered into the decision to doubt and made them susceptible to temptation. Hence the way to deal with unbelief is to deal with it as sin. The problems of infidelity are problems of the heart, not primarily of the mind. And that means that the way to deal with unbelievers is to preach to them the Word of God, preach to them as Christ-rejecting sinners who need salvation.I learned from D. L. Moody and R. A. Torrey that infidels and atheists can often be won by compelling them honestly to face the Word of God. The late Mr. George Soltau says that D. L. Moody, about 1883, in East London reserved the giant tabernacle one Monday night for "atheists, skeptics and free-thinkers of all shades." Five thousand such men, led by Charles Bradlaugh, filled the hall and Moody preached to them. Soltau says: "From that night till the end of the week nearly two thousand men were swung out from the ranks of the foe into the army of the Lord, by the surrender of their will." The atheists' clubs never recovered their footing in England thereafter. (See "Mr. Moody and the Free-Thinkers")Dr. R. A. Torrey won many an atheist and has given detailed suggestions for dealing with such unbelievers.… (meer)
