Psalms 14:1-3, “The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.”
On January 24, 2026 a remarkable man named Alex Honnold (born August 17, 1985), climbed the tallest skyscraper in Taiwan, the Taipei 101, which stands at 1,667 feet (508 meters) tall, making it one of the tallest skyscrapers in the world. He ascended the building in 91 minutes, showcasing his remarkable climbing skills. At the very top, he stood at the pinnacle for about 10 minutes, taking selfies. I love this amazing guy! Alex has nerves of titanium! In free solo climbing that Alex excels at doing, the climber does not use any ropes or protective gear, but relies solely on mental acuity, resolve, physical strength and endurance. Amazing!
According to Wikipedia...
Alex Honnold is an American rock climber best known for his free solo ascents of big walls. Honnold rose to worldwide fame in June 2017 when he became the first person to free solo a full route on El Capitan in Yosemite National Park, a climb described in The New York Times as "one of the great athletic feats of any kind, ever."
As much as I tremendously admire this great man, for doing what no one else has done, my heart was greatly saddened to learn recently that Alex is a devout atheist. Sadly, Alex Honnold is a professed atheist who does not believe in God. He has expressed his corrupt views on spirituality and religion, indicating a lack of belief in a higher power.
“By not believing in an afterlife, it forces you to make the most out of this life to get the most out of the time you have.” —Alex Honnold in a Chris Johnson video titled “A Better Life in Yosemite with Alex Honnold” (October 11, 2012)
I beg to differ. It is because of my belief in an afterlife that I work so hard on my website ministry, knowing that I must give account to my Creator someday. Hebrews 4:13, “Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do” (cf. Romans 14:10-12; Ecclesiastes 12:13-14; Matthew 12:36). Christians must appear at the Judgment Seat of Christ (2nd Corinthians 5:9-11). Unbelievers like Alex Honnold will appear at the Great White Throne of Judgment (Revelation 20:11-15). I highly recommend that you settle out of court with God the Father dear reader, by accepting the sacrifice of His only begotten Son as full payment for your sins.
Kindly said, the inspired Holy Bible calls Alex a liar for denying the existence of God...
Romans 1:20-21, “For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.”
At some point in his youth, the Holy Bible says that Alex KNEW GOD, but he refused to glorify the LORD as his divine Creator, due to an unthankful heart. God deserves so much better than that from His creation. Isaiah 45:9a, “Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker!”
Alex Honnold intentionally ignores the fact that all of the beautiful nature he has experienced while climbing dozens of mountains didn't just happen by chance. It wasn't cosmic chaos and accidental aftermath that formed the universe, it was God our omnipotent Creator. Here are just a few passages of Scripture which teach that God is the Creator...
Genesis 1:1, “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”
Psalms 8:3-4, “When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?”
Jeremiah 10:12, “He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion.”
Isaiah 45:18, “For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.”
Specifically, Jesus Christ (who is God almighty, a member of the Godhead) created all things...
John 1:1-4, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men.”
No human being can honestly answer these basic questions:
- How big is the universe?
- Where did the universe begin?
- Where did life begin?
There are no logical, plausible or rational answers to these perplexing questions that have stumped mankind since the very beginning of life. Can the universe continue forever? Anyone who says it can is blatantly denying every aspect of science, astronomy and physics. If the universe does has an end, what lies beyond? How could there have been a time when nothing existed? Doesn't everything have a beginning and an end? Hoe can life come from non-life? Only arrogant fools attempt to answer these questions without acknowledging that there is a supreme Creator. The only logical answer to all three perplexing questions is God.
I sincerely hope and pray that Alex Honnold will put his trust in Jesus Christ before it is too late for him. One slip off a skyscraper or a mountain and from Hell Alex will believe in God, I promise you! ...
2nd Timothy 2:12b-13, “...if we deny him, he also will deny us: If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.”
There is only one place in the afterlife where an atheist can go, which is Hell. Revelation 20:15, “And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” God\s wrath is presently resting upon Alex's head. John 3:36, “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.” God almighty sacrificed His only begotten Son on a cross 2,000 years ago, and He doesn't take it lightly when a guilty sinner like Alex rejects His Son.
By God's grace, I received Jesus Christ as my personal Savior at age 12 in 1979. I simply by faith put my sole trust in Jesus' death on the cross, burial and bodily resurrection three days later as my only hope for the forgiveness of sins and Heaven. JESUS PAID IT ALL!!!
I find it highly ironic in the photo at the beginning of this blog, showing Alex (a hard core atheist) waving at fans inside the building as he climbs, and one of them is holding up a sign which reads: “GODPSEED” to Alex. Now isn't that peculiar! Why would the Lord help an atheist who denies His existence and spits on the sacrifice of His only begotten Son? I admit that I did pray for Alex as he climbed the Taipei 101 skyscraper, concerned that he might slip and fall to his death, and wake up in the everlasting fires of Hell. Time is running out folks!
Hebrews 9:27-28, “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.”
How could such a brilliant man as Alex Honnold deny his Creator? It makes no sense. You'd think if anyone would have faith in God (Mark 11:22), it would be a guy who has spent his life in the mountains and nature. Romans 1:20-21 plainly warns that since nature itself testifies of God's existence, eternal power and Godhead, NO MAN will have any excuse on Judgment Day. In essence, there is no such thing as a true atheist, there are only those who claim it...
Romans 1:20-21, “For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.”
Alex Honnold is an ingrate to God! All of the delicious food he enjoys, his health, his comforting wife, his beloved children, his home and friends—all of it came FROM GOD ABOVE. James 1:17, “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.” Repent of your unbelief before it is too late! God is faithful.
