However, \n it presents a false hope for peace and paradise. The Christian message of hope must be proclaimed \n in a compelling manner if we hope to gain the attention of our culture. The challenge before us is to \n demonstrate that Christianity offers the true message of hope. First, the miraculous, sinless life of \n Christ and His resurrection demonstrates He is the Creator, not an impersonal force. The true \n message of eternal life and forgiveness of sin is found in Christ alone. This message must be \n defended. Second, the biblical principles of responsible use of technology and care for the \n environment must be demonstrated.","bbox":{"left":0.071429,"top":0.138919,"width":0.8459450000000001,"height":0.136574}},{"text":"Finally, creation is in a fallen state as the Bible teaches.

This will happen not as a result of embracing the false ideas \n of pantheism but with the coming of the king of creation, Jesus Christ. Since God will restore \n creation, we should move in the direction of God’s future restoration and carefully manage and \n restore areas we have destroyed.","bbox":{"left":0.071429,"top":0.292255,"width":0.8561810000000001,"height":0.13657400000000003}},{"text":"© 2010 Probe Ministries","bbox":{"left":0.071429,"top":0.445592,"width":0.209575,"height":0.015209000000000028}}],"images_bbox":[],"images_bbox_not_text_overlap":[]}
