So why should we toil and act morally when everything has already

God's justice based on Psalm 69

Today God is mainly created in two misleading images.

Image 1 - an aged gray-haired grandfather who, in the name of love, will accept anyone into heaven, including even the greatest unrepentant sinner.

Those who supposedly believe in the biblical creation, yet add the erroneous theory that it took millions of years, also fall into the group of people who call the Creator a fraud. The big bang theory and the theory of evolution are fictions based on theories, not evidence, that atheists

Scripture vs. coal

Theory 1 cited by evolutionists (inconsistent with Scripture due to the age of creation):

Coal was formed 360-30 million years ago from dead plants in swampy, marshy areas. The dead plant tissues form peat, which as it moves deeper underground undergoes greater pressure and high temperature. The aforementioned lack of oxygen, tremendous pressure, the right temperature and millions of years make coal in the
