Evidence of 'God particle' found

[mikhen7]

Satan never quits! he has to make sure to keep the dark in the dark.

News from The Associated Press

Sean M. Carroll, a California Institute of Technology physicist flying to Geneva for the July 4th announcement, said that if both ATLAS and CMS have independently reached these high thresholds on the Higgs boson, then "only the most curmudgeonly will not believe that they have found it."


Please count me in with the Curmudgeons

Should we be awaiting the ordination of the First Church of the Particle?

...answering fundamental questions about the universe almost certainly does exist...

The universe has now been proved to exist? You needed a PhD from MIT to discover this??

The phrase "God particle," coined by Nobel Prize-winning physicist Leon Lederman, is used by laymen, not physicists, more as an explanation for how the wonders of the subatomic universe work than how it all started.

That's right. Only the unwashed masses use this term.

I find it funny that when scientists don't have an answer (at least secular ones) they make up one. For instance, yesterday I was watching 60 minutes about mosquitoes and their answer to the fact that mosquitoes seem to like humans was that the malaria and other diseases 'have developed a taste for humans'

When reading their conclusions one must carefully extract their presuppositions from the evidence and their conclusions because it's always mixed in in order for the reader to conclude AH evolution does exist! When you strip them of that there's hardly anything that would point to such a claim.

That's because it takes a blood sucker to know a blood sucker.

Yeah, me too, Mike. Having read the article I was impressed by how breathless the speculation was. (And if you read a pun into that last sentence, it was intentional.)

[LivnForChrist]

the poor, deluded fools (the fool hath said in his heart there is no God).
Praying for them.

Brother we know full well the intentionality of that statement. It was directed against Christians. Just another nail in the coffin of the unbelievers meant to bolster their unwise opinions of Christians. But God will indeed Hallow His name and when the Hallowing begins they will no longer have any lovers to turn too!! They will be the picture of the Judah and Jerusalem of old, Jer. 30:12-14, Lam. 1:1-2

God Bless

IF there is indeed a particle responsible for matter having mass, so what. Regardless of what physicists have found (or not), what exactly does it prove in regards to God? Not a thing as far as I can see.

[JC1949]

Ok.....if a blind person enters your home and start tripping on furniture and breaks some glass and stuff,would you get upset??? No really,because that person is blind,that is why.
The people of the world are blind,actually they are dead in trespasses and sins....and spiritually blind.....
Have we forgotten that we were just like that ourselves UNTIL HIS AMAZING GRACE reached us and HE made us BE BORN AGAIN.....
Before Christ in my life I had 1000 and 1 silly and stupid theory about everything,I waz in yoga,eastern religions,sex and drugs and rock and roll...so it does not surprise me not a little bit that brilliant brains think like idiots...that is the condition of fallen man....
We should pray for them so they can be saved when hearing THE GOSPEL.....
I have received this letter by RON:

Repent
7/5/2012

“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.” Mark 16:15. Did Jesus tell any of His disciples to go out into the word and get people to repent first as a prerequisite for salvation? No. He was very clear when He spoke of the “one” requirement for salvation. He that believeth… shall be saved…believeth not…damned. Salvation is predicated on our belief in Christ, not on repentance.

In the following verse we find a multitude of people following Jesus who were very much works orientated when it came to their understanding of how to please God. They questioned Jesus as to what they had to do in the way of works to be accepted by God. “Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.” John 6:29. Believe on Him who God sent. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16. There can be no doubt that salvation is afforded those who believe in the only begotten Son of God. Condemnation is upon all who refuse this simple precondition.

“Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost” Acts 2:38. This verse is constantly misapplied as a prerequisite for salvation. If this verse is saying what so many believe it to say then we’ve got some pretty heavy duty contradictions in our Bible. If this verse is not saying “We must repent first in order to be saved” then what was the Apostle Peter talking about?

The Greek word “pisteuō” is translated into English as believe. The simple definition is “to think on something as true”. Thinking on something as true and being sorry for our sins are two very different concepts.

“Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:3b. Nicodemus had come to Jesus asking about salvation. Jesus never mentioned to Nicodemus anything even closely resembling repentance as a precondition to becoming born again. In the following verses, though, we are given the precise answer to the question that Nicodemus was seeking.

“For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” John 3:17-18. If God meant for repentance to be a precondition of the heart in order to be saved, then all Scripture verses regarding salvation would contain a clear reference to repentance. Interestingly, the words repent or repentance are never included as a condition of our heart prior to salvation. Once we become born again is when our hearts should be overwhelmed with an attitude of gratitude as well as remorse because of how we lived prior to our new life in Christ.

“For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed …For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:11, 13. Paul preached that salvation came by believing; he never preached that one needed to repent first of their sins then call (believe) on the name of the Lord to be saved.

So, what does repent mean? The Greek word is “metanoeō” and it simply refers to a change of mind. It takes a change of mind to understand who Jesus is and what He did for all humankind. People must first experience a change of mind to even consider God’s truth. Let’s consider this question that Jesus put to His disciples. “He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?” Matthew 16:15. This is the same question each of us is confronted with at some point in this life. If we respond as Peter “…Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God” Matthew 16:16, then we, too, believe the truth about Jesus. Peter’s answer is what he believed. But whom say ye that I am? Now Jesus is asking this same question of you and me. If our response is as Peter’s, then we too have said yes to our Messiah (we believe). Jesus says this is all there is for any person to move from that horrible position of condemnation to eternal life with Him.

Believing is always the key when we speak of salvation. When we change our minds about Jesus Christ and believe in Him, who He is and what He’s done, we’ve come to a decision, a life changing right decision. The very same choice everyone on earth must face before being allowed entrance into Heaven. Sadly, many will remain steadfast in a mindset that fully rejects their Messiah Jesus.

When we look into a modern dictionary we find the following meanings for our English word “repent”: regret, be sorry, apologize, ask for forgiveness, feel sorrow, be penitent, atone, be remorseful. None of these terms can be associated with the Greek word “metanoeō”. In the Strong’s Concordance, the Greek word “metanoeō” (Strong’s G3340) is translated into English as “repent”. Throughout the New Testament scriptures, “repent” or “metanoeō” is repeated 22 times and “repentance” (Strong's G3341), is repeated another 25 times, yet they both mean the same thing, that of having a “change of mind”. Any time we read the word “repent” associated with belief, the premise is to initiate a change of mind first about God, and believe in His only begotten son, Jesus Christ. The Greek word “metanoeō” does not mean to be sorrowful or regretful.

“Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.” Acts 2:36. We need to dig a little deeper into the context of this chapter of Acts to find the reason behind Peter’s use of the word “metanoeō” (repent) in Acts chapter 2 verse 38. Peter’s short dissertation in this chapter brought about some great results. As he spoke to his countrymen (fellow Jews) about who Jesus was and their offence against their Messiah, Peter’s words had an immediate effect as they tugged at the heart strings of his countrymen who were gathered around him.

Then immediately afterward they had a question for Peter “Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?” Acts 2:37. Being pricked in the heart indicates a condition of sorrowfulness, and of regret. Had they changed their minds about our Lord Jesus Christ at this point? Since they were already expressing sorrow, why would Peter tell them to be more sorrowful? He wouldn’t. Peter’s response to their question (what shall we do) was that now, since they’ve been pricked in the heart (sorrowful, regretful) concerning what they did to their Messiah, they needed to change their minds about who Jesus truly is. Changing one’s mind about Jesus, from being in opposition to Him to being in affirmation of Him, is tantamount to believing in Him.

“Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost” Acts 2:38. After Peter’s countrymen experienced what many would consider the sorrow of a lifetime and they asked their one question (what now?), they were ready to have a change of mind and become followers of the One true Messiah; all that remained for them to do was believe. In this case, since Peter was already speaking to men who believed in God and His Precepts, all they needed to do was change their minds about Jesus Christ as their One true God and Saviour. Once they believed they were instantaneously born again. Then Peter told them to be baptized in the name of the one who they had just changed their minds about.

Side note:
There is some controversy concerning the phrase in the above verse “for the remission of sins”. The Greek word “eis” is translated “for” in English, but in the context of this verse it is meant to be read as “insomuch as”. The verse should be read thusly, insomuch as your sins have been forgiven you, be baptized. It’s the same as saying “now that you are born again the first act of obedience to God is to be baptized”. Baptism is not a part of being born again. If this were the case then everywhere in the Scriptures where we are told to believe in Jesus to be saved, the phrase “and be baptized for the remission of sins” would be included. But it is not so.

Erroneous doctrines become established and embedded as biblical when we fail to understand the context of the verse or verses in question. The translators used the word “repent” instead of using the phrase “change of mind” and the rest is history. When we neglect to seek the correct meaning in regards to the scriptures all sorts of problems can and do arise. I’ve seen numerous commentaries that conclude by telling their readers that if they don’t know Jesus then all they need to do is “repent” and tell Him that they are sorry for their sins and to accept Him into their lives. This teaching is so unbiblical it should raise the hair on the back of your necks. We are never told to apologize to Christ for our sins in order to receive everlasting life – only to believe.

Many websites, commentaries, street preachers, and even pastors standing in front of their congregations seem to be stuck on this same premise as they give the altar call to those who are lost. “Repent of your sins and thou shalt be saved”. Is that what Paul told the jailer when that man asked what he must do to be saved? No. Paul made it plain that salvation comes by believing on the one who was sent by God to take the sin of the world upon Himself. “…Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved…” Acts 16:31b. Repentance is nowhere to be found in that verse.

Telling people to repent to be saved is folly. Most people today have no idea that they are sinners or what sin really is. Most will tell you they are good people. People tend to balk when told they are sinners; it becomes as a stumbling block in their minds. At this point many will simply walk away from the well meaning evangelists while remaining – lost. If we tell them to tell Jesus they are sorry when they don’t even know who Jesus is will, in most cases, send them fleeing from us. They must first make a change of mind about who Christ is and this is better accomplished by following Paul’s example with the Athenians of Mars’ Hill, going back to the beginning to the creation and the fall of mankind. Then when the Gospel is explained to them they will understand the lost and rebellious state they are in, and that without believing in Christ there can be no salvation.

God bless you all,



Ron Graham

Even if they found the particle, it boils down to this.... that particle didn't come from nothing. They still haven't proven how something could come from nothing. They will go insane because now they will have to find out how this particle came into being. There is only one answer: God

I LOVE RON,great blessing!
Shalom everybody

Interesting thoughts from Ron Graham. I agree but also think it's a bit incomplete. Right now God the Son is not walking around this world but rather the Holy Spirit is at work and Jesus told us exactly what He would be doing in this dispensation:

John 16
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you.
8 And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
9 of sin, because they do not believe in Me;
10 of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more;
11 of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.

It seems to me that unless a person understands WHY they need to change their mind about Jesus they will probably never find the motivation to do so. Thus witnessing often involves talking openly about sin and the need to see it in one's own life.

I also believe that this hell-bent (pun intended) desire to prove that God doesn't exist is nothing more or less than a desperate desire to escape from the work that the Holy Spirit is currently doing.

[readyforhome]

This is the particle that supposedly holds everything together. I've visited some sites and atheist visitors on those sites were angry that it was named the God particle, and that they wished someone could have found a better name for it. Anyway, I agree what exactly does this prove? I mean its cool that someone found a new particle. But really is it a new particle? Or has it been there and its only discovered? I guess thats the real meaning of finding a new particle. How does a particle control everything exactly? I mean its cool for our increase in knowledge. I've read various science fictions books and this particle involved travelling to different dimensions, and inadvertently allowed for the discovery of an artifact/device that allowed for FTL travel. Finally wasn't this the same group that discovered the faster than light particle only to have an announcement come out to say that it was possible that some wires were unconnected? Thought I read that in an article somewhere. Overall I believe the discovery is cool, and I hope this will prove a benefit to people in even some small way.

[Littlejoe]

Soon,they will see the particle of God..When he not only splits the sky..But some "THICK heads on those people !!!!!!!

Absolutely correct! On both counts.

[Suzanne]

I found the "God particle" when I attended a little Baptist church over 40 years ago. Jesus Christ saved my soul, and He's been with me for all these many years. Thank you, Lord Jesus Christ.

[Obie]

This is so poo-poo! I found more than the God particle.......I've found his heart.

[readytogo]

So what if they found a "God particle"?? I have the Wholly Spirit inside me! (Maybe they should call it the "atheist particle").

[bearycool]

Watch, as they find out that the particle is shaped like a cross. That would be great.

[brethorn56]

It’s not just the fact that these folks are trying to disprove the existence of God and creation, but also that they are taunting us with their findings. They can’t wait to rub our little right wing, only one way to heaven, faces with it.

[daygo]

They are silly little people trying to make something fit their theories, and not using common sense to tell the difference.
