       I have observed people who seem to be well-rounded characters, who seem to have a lot of good working for them, but who don’t know Jesus Christ. They either don’t believe in him, they believe in another religion, or they believe in God as an impersonal, universal being. I have seen this last one a lot recently. It’s almost as if deism is having a comeback. You will see it a lot in New Age teachings. They believe in God, but you really can’t personally know him. I know this is kind of cliche, but it’s true. It’s true that I think really behind it is the fact that people don’t want to be accountable for sin. The idea is that they want the benefits from God (by the way, which many of them they can receive by living here on the earth in God’s creation; God’s universal principles are available to all; love is available to all) and yet they just list the Bible as another great philosophical book (with some good insights) because if one was to accept it as a whole, you have to accept the sin part of it.
