Einstein
lareli:
I won't presume to know whether or not a man I never met believed in a personal god or had knowledge of the one true God.
One thing I do know is that it's no concern of mine what Gods plan is for another.

All of his supposed intelligence can't save him now. He is relative to dust.
The "great man" did not believe in a personal God. Yet it will be a personal God Who will resurrect him back to life.
He was a big dummy. All of his supposed intelligence did not give him knowledge of the true God.

Not quite John, it just was not his time to know the truth. Not in his power to understand.

My point is that Many worship the brilliance of an Einstein or a Stephen Hawking, while those men do not understand even the simplest ideas about God. Both of those men and many others reject the God of the Scriptures.
The Scriptures say only a fool says there is no God.
Those men and mankind in general do not impress me.
Dead men impress me even less.
Only to God should all the glory go because all things come from Him.

All dead men? When Stephen and the new Christians were martyred for their faith, and those men of the OT died or were mutilated for their obedience to God, did you ever see where Jesus or any of the Apostles or OT writers spoke of them so belittlingly or callously? I hardly think anyone is worshipping (obeying?) their brilliance. But the thing is, if anything they did say was truly brilliant, then it came from God and it's good to recognize it as such. That's all they are doing, John. Largeli wasn't mocking God. It was a very truthful quote, regardless of where it originated. Is the quote to be dismissed entirely as hogwash all because it exited the mouth of someone you choose to look down your nose at all because they didn't fall down and worship the god of Christendom. Which also happens to be the same god you wouldn't be caught dead worshipping?
Get over yourself, John.
