Faith and Science.

We can hear the mathematical lesson. We understand the words, but we can’t understand it. It happens that after the explanation, the teacher asks the pupils if they have understood the reason. Most of the time, the pupils answer yes. Then, when the teacher gives the pupils an example, they have to practically prove whether they have understood the explanation correctly. Many times it turns out that many pupils have yet to understand the explanation or have misunderstood it. Many times this was also the case when the Lord Jesus was teaching. Of course, He did not teach mathematics, but spiritual things. He was teaching about eternal life, the salvation of the soul. Many times people did not understand these words. For example, they talked about suffering, dying, and rising from the dead. We need the help of the Holy Spirit to understand Jesus’ teachings. There is a difference between mathematics and the teachings of Jesus. Math can be understood by reason. Of course, not everyone can understand, at least the higher mathematics, by reason. Not all are able to pass a math exam at university. To understand what Jesus taught, we require our reason and our faith. Faith transcends our reason. Faith is not against reason, but it is beyond our reason. Sometimes people will say. I only believe what I can understand, what I can see. This attitude is wrong. Imagine if we told a person. Who lived 2000 years ago that people who are 10 thousand miles apart will be able to talk to each other, see each other as if they were quite crazy about each other. A person who lived 2000 years ago would say. I don’t believe that, that’s not possible. And yet it is possible. Today unbelieving people say, no heaven, and eternal life does not exist. There is only what I can see, feel. These people are called materialists. How much they are mistaken. We cannot see or feel many things that any measuring instrument cannot detect, yet these things and realities exist. Yes, some people say. I only believe what I see. There are people who have visited a miracle, and yet they remain unbelievers—and one more thing. Many times we believe what others tell us too readily and when someone tells us about believing in God for eternal life, we reject it. Judge for yourself if such an attitude is correct.
