A Christian Response
Letters from Walter VanRaden (my father)
January 17, 1989
Hey - I think you guys have had more winter than we have so far...
Over Christmas I was thinking what it might be
like to be an atheist at Christmas. Not much reason to celebrate. The greatest
thing that ever happened and you’re not in on it. Remember, God is still there
and will welcome you back. Don’t wait til its too late.
Well see you later, so long for now

Dear Paul
Got your letter and article [The Right To Migrate]... That’s quite an article. You sure thought it out
from every direction.
My own thought is that it won’t happen, though
- - - partly because those who have don’t really want to share and if we do
have a “one world government” it would be only very briefly before Jesus comes
again. Speaking of Jesus coming again - you should get ready for that. Atheists
will not be in a good position then...
I’ve been reading every spare minute that I
have. I ordered 3 books - one on evolution, one on creation and one on Noah’s
flood. Lots of technical stuff and pretty slow reading, but its all so interesting that I hardly ever get sleepy
reading. I learned that the origin of species / evolution deal was not put
together by anthropologists or geologists, but rather by a group of atheists
who decided they needed some story of origins that would bypass God. There is
no valid scientific proof for evolution - it is just the same as a belief
in God or a belief in Buddha. Much of the reasoning and the “proofs” are absurd
compared with the facts of creation...
See you - Dad

Dear Paul
HAPPY NEW YEAR! ... I think New Years would be
a great time for you to give up the atheist idea. You have experimented with it
a few years now and you have proved how patient God is - He hasn’t lowered
the boom on you. You know what’s right so you
don’t have to be re-educated - just straighten out your beliefs. With all the
stuff going on - like the war about to start in the middle east - atheism
being taught in school - a million and a half unborn babies killed every year
just in the USA - all these are indications that Jesus is coming soon. This
time he won’t come as a baby - he will come as the judge, and I want you
to be on my side. Think it over. Your decision determines where you will
be for all the millions of years of eternity. I want to see you there.
Love,
Dad

Dear Paul
You might think old Dad is over the edge but
I’m going to tell you again: the time is getting
short. Jesus is coming again soon. Its
time to ditch the atheist business. There’s only one way to life and that is
thru the death and ressurection of Jesus. Soon
the time will be up when you can still change your mind. Some
day EVERY knee will bow to Jesus - some with Joy and some in tears. Take your choice.
Think it over, Paul
Love,
Dad

Dear Paul
Well, I don’t think it will be very long now
‘til Jesus comes for his people. If you are determined not to be one of
them, you will really have a big decision to make after that. When all the
Christians are gone, you will know that Jesus was telling the truth that he
will come in another 7 or 8 years as the judge. You could still become a
Christian then but that would be turning traitor to your friend the devil and
since he will be in charge for that 7 or 8 years,
being a Christian will be really rough. You do know the truth because that’s
what you were taught the first twenty years of your
life. God did make people with the ability and the right to decide for
themselves. Its still sad
that, using my own kids as an example, even when they know the truth, only
half will follow it. Its no
wonder the world is going to heck. ...
Well, I have to write 2 more of these. I’ve
written them before, too but nobody even bothers to
answer. I guess they think Dad is out of it. Well, I've taught you and I’ve
warned you. What you do about it is up to you. I pray every day that you will
make the right decision. So long for now.
Love,
Dad

Dear Paul
Got your letter with another chapter for the
book [The Right To Migrate]... I’m afraid that if you
go into the immigration project full time it might be so frustrating when other
people won’t listen to you or agree with you that it might get the best of you.
One more peice of
advice. Good scientists who are honest are abandoning the evolution idea. The
only real sensible alternative is to believe that God created everything. They
don’t want to do that, either so they say that some sort of space
ship must have brought life here from some other planet somewhere. You
and I both know the correct answer... Well, see you later. Hang in there
Love,
Dad
