If you really want to find evidence to support the Bible and its God, you can: there's plenty of it. Of course, there are no photographs of Jesus, or emails from Moses to Aaron, or videos of the Flood inundating the earth. And if you're hoping that God is going to peep between the clouds so that you can have faith, forget it- it isn't going to happen.
Tucker Carlson, in a recent speech in Canada, said "When you realize you're not God you have hit upon the root of all wisdom".
Normally I greatly respect John MacArthur's teachings and his love for the Word of God. He's one of those few men I can look up to in our time. However, I disagree with him on the subjects of election, and as I discuss below, the rapture of the Church.
The existence of God, despite the complaints of people like Sir David Attenborough who gave suffering as the reason for his own atheism, doesn't go away by invoking this problem. After all, God may be pernicious and unloving. He may be uncaring. He may be somewhere else and not able to help us yet. He may be using suffering for his own purposes.
Views of the "rapture of the Church" vary enormously, from people not believing that it's a Biblical event at all and who say it will never happen, to the insistance that all true believers will be whisked from the earth any day now, in order to save us all from suffering and from what's to come upon the earth during the "Tribulation".
