Dear Friends,
This week one man prayed with me according to the pattern of Luke 18:13 & Romans 10:9.
He wrote:
“Hello Dr. Tour, My name is ______________. I live in ______________. I studied microbiology and considered myself an evolutionist ever since I graduated from the university in 1999. It was not until recently that I have been having doubts about evolution (and many other ideas that I learned in my younger years). I also considered myself an atheist since I was 14 years old. I watched your interview with Tucker, and what started as an eye-opener regarding my doubts around evolution ended as a profound and emotional moment for me. For that, I wanted to thank you. Although I still have doubts on what I think about religions in general, I’ve been experiencing more and more connections with christianity. Would you recommend me a place to start exploring christianity and Jesus? Best Wishes and Merry Christmas!”
We met by Zoom. This man, a former Catholic, is about 50 years old. He started working in the pharmaceutical industry but then opened a food service company about 15 years ago, and has since become successful in his Caribbean nation. Here is another example of how scientific theories are presented as fact, thereby drawing people astray from the faith. When I shared the gospel with him, he received it with tears. Indeed, the Tucker interview had opened his heart. https://youtu.be/I0InjvwBXTg He assured me that he will follow through on the daily scripture reading and 13-week Bible study with Caleb McBride.
When I began to openly critique certain scientific dogmas, I did so out of frustration with the obvious sophistry. I never imagined that so many would be drawn back to the Lord Jesus by a scientific refutation. Lord, use this for your glory, I pray, bringing many to faith.
John 9:24–25
So a second time they called the man who had been blind, and said to him, “Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner.” He then answered, “Whether He is a sinner, I do not know; one thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see.”
The man makes no claim about Jesus’ identity. He does not say: Jesus is the Messiah, Jesus is from heaven, Jesus forgives sins, Jesus fulfills prophecy. He explicitly refuses theological speculation: “Whether He is a sinner, I do not know…” He declines to enter their theological framework. Why this matters: “One thing I do know” is an irreducible testimony. “…that though I was blind, now I see.” This is a matter of fact that resists refutation. To this day, men are drawn by these simple words: “I was blind, now I see.”
God bless,
Jim Tour
