Steven Hawking -- Lost Forever
While the world hails Stephen Hawking and mourns the death of a great mind, Christians have another perspective, a Biblical one.
Hawking was an atheist and enemy of the truth. He led millions astray with his foolish declarations like: "God did not create the universe." Romans 1:22 describes such statements: "Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools."
He spoke with false authority on things he knew nothing about, and was practically worshiped for whatever he said. Long before this frail mortal man of less than 80 years duration came on the scene, God declared: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" (Genesis 1:1). God was there way back then, but Hawking wasn't. The Old Testament prophets and New Testament apostles, inspired by the Holy Spirit, communicated faithfully the same truth, that God made all things.
Today is indeed a sad day for Hawking, for he has passed into eternity and will stand to be judged by the God he denied. "The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God" (Psalm 14:1). Instead of praising the genius of such a man, we should mourn his foolishness and eternal perdition, and call upon all his fellows and followers to repent and believe the Gospel. "For there is one God and one mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5). Only thus can they avoid Hawking's terrible encounter with the God he denied.
