I know what your thinking, "Ohhh! No not another article about God and Atheism!" Well not quite, this article is not the same kind of article you've read before …
Why? Because in the first place I used to be one of those "fake Atheists" that claimed like the "Parrot" I was then, all the same rhetoric the real Atheists (so-called!) I spouted the words but never saw a single bit of real evidence to support what I said all the years I stated it. Evolution in school DID NOT help me to recover any ground as it changed many times over the years, from "Billions of years to Millions of years for the same processes (Not that the school text books noticed the changes!)
I don't know about you but I as a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ have too get this out … I'm sick and tired of hearing from BOTH sides in this debate about God's existence. I experienced the lack of evidence from BOTH ends, and the trouble started because we began from a wrong premise- this debate is not about scientific or historical bantering back and forth; it is simply about "Hypocrisy" on both sides, outright lies and misdirection.
We all go though life with questions that seem unanswerable throughout our lives but do questions really make us hate someone that we say we don't believe in or is it more like we hate what we have become and don't want to face up to the judgment involved in change?
Matthew 7: 13-14 "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. " What Jesus said is VERY simple to understand and I don't care if you believe in God or not, this can't be misunderstood without a lot of help. Life cannot be found on the world level it's hidden behind the trees on a NARROW path of life where God is both revealed and active in the lives of those who bother to seek him!
Now I ask you would it not be at the very least plain "Foolishness" to not see the facts at hand and turn around and use "Hypocrisy" as your reason to say God doesn't exist? This little verse explains clearly that another path exists and its possible to take the wrong one … Right? So knowing this simple fact alone explains those in the Churches who pretend to be Christian in the name of God. This proves nothing except that the Bible is 100% right about "Hypocrisy and False brethren". People always use and abuse "good intentions" for both financial and personal gain and they themselves are "Atheistic in their personal lives" no one out there who uses the gospel this way is anything but a "Fool" (The Hebrew definition: of a fool is a heedless moral blockhead who is mentally insane, meaning they do the same stupid things over and over again but expect different results each time.)
John 3:18 plainly says: "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."
This is also simple, if you refuse to believe (As an Atheist or Christian copycat) the words of God then the CONDEMNATION you feel is "already inside your heart". God at no time condemns anyone it is the sin within you that puts you down BECAUSE of disbelief.In fact the Law did not in itself condemn people it was their personal handling of what the Law stated that condemned them and brought about their own judgment. So for anyone to blame "The rules" presented for the "Results Received is a" fool "in the sense that they are" Morally stupid "about just what it means to be disobedient. I mean let's get real if you break a Law in any country and get caught do you blame the "Rules" you broke or yourself for being stupid enough to get caught? This is just simple stuff, nothing hard to understand..God treats all men, skeptic, atheist, agnostic or believer the same he expects you to listen and follow IN obedience just as millions have had to do before you … and that my Friend is completely FAIR AND BALANCED behavior!
John 8:24 "I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins." The issue is not believing in certain facts over other facts, it is a question of knowing clearly just who Jesus is in our personal thinking COMPARED to what the Bible presents as Jesus. No matter what you say you believe about Jesus the question come down to what God says period. It's this simple: on judgment day your OPINION with not matter just the simple statements of Scripture!
Matthew 7:15 "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves."
BEWARE of those who sound off as religious leaders or lay people but are motivated ONLY by money, fame, or power (remember there's nothing wrong with money, fame or power BUT for these things to be your motivator makes you misjudge and to minimize the anointing in your life and glorify yourself). Just as their are Hypocritical Atheist's that misuse and misapply information because they can't stand it when a real point is made there are also Hypocritical believers who use the Bible filled with God's Love as a tool to beat over the heads of others. We must as humans learn to work around these "Foolish" people and come to the facts on both sides as clearly and concise as is humanly possible!
As I sit here looking at different websites about Atheism to find FOR ONCE something new..what do I see? The same boring idle conversations parroted back and forth about how Christianity lies to us, and we need to end the rule of God! Nothing, absolutely nothing worth reading out there. It's all the same and you might be surprised to know so is most all Christian banter … worthless diatribe that proves nothing but a total and purposeful misunderstanding of the other side. There MUST be others on both ends of this debate that feel the same way I do about others telling us what we all "must" believe or else? Only a being capable of perfect love and judgment is allowed to tell us what to believe because he and he alone has perfect knowledge of past, present and the future. The only problem with this is us having agreement about his existence not the "side issues" of personal attacks!
What is a Lie?
A lie is a type of deception in the form of an untruthful statement, especially with the intention to deceive others, often with the further intention to maintain a secret or reputation, protect someones feelings or to avoid a punishment. To lie is to state something that one knows in themselves to be false or that one has not reasonably investigated to be true with the intention that it be taken for the truth by oneself or someone else. We must realize that as human beings limited as we all are guilty of lying to ourselves as much as to others!
Lying is typically used to refer to deceptions in oral or written communication. Other forms of deception, such as disguises or forgeries, are generally not considered lies, though the underlying intent may be the same. However, even a true statement can be considered a lie if the person making that statement is doing so to deceive, thus the Bible stated in a wrong context becomes a lie. In this situation, it is the intent of being untruthful rather than the truthfulness of the statement itself that is considered a lie.
A bold-faced which is what most in the debate on the Atheist side practice is a lie which is told when it is obvious to all concerned that it is a lie, but stated in such a way as to insult the intelligence of the hearer. Everyone should agree that this form of "Lying evidence gathering" for either side is childish and unproductive!
The Old and New Testaments both contain statements that God is not capable of lying not just that he wouldn't lie but that he cannot as part of his nature lie! (Num 23:19, Ps 89:35, Hab. 2: 3, Heb 6: 13-18).
The Bible is filled with many instances of lying both to God and to others. This issue has set the rabid Atheists afire with retribution against the God of the Bible! But this is pure misunderstanding about the context of the lies in question! God in each case DID NOT want the lie but let the person do as THEY WISHED as he always does. There is not one single skeptic alive that would allow God to force his will on anyone is there? Sin is wrong in any context but our will prevents us from seeing the end from the beginning as God does, so we seldom make the right choice when confronted with truth or error! No lie stated in scripture ever is said to prosper the teller and is punishable in many ways if we simply read it in complete context, something very few Christians and Atheists are willing to do!
Now what exactly does God believe in regards to Atheism? Well it's very simple actually God believes in all of US not in our actions against him, God sees past our imperfections. He witnesses our future obedience to him amidst our present sinful acts! There is not a person alive today that God sees as they are right now. God sees things that are NOT now manifest as if they were manifest, therefore Mr. and Mrs Atheist and Christian believes in the you that should be not the you you've become by experience!
God "calls things that are not as though they were" (Romans 4:17) .This not only states the obvious but speaks to the nature of God to look into the future and see us as we should be, free from our actions of disobedience. The real issue is: will we cooperate or continue to look for him in the wrong place expecting to see what is not there, hear what cannot be heard, and feel what is somewhere else? It's plain, God's terms or NO EVIDENCE will make sense to your "Unregenerate mind" no matter how convincing it seems to us!
I know that this article does not debate God as Atheists would like so they can tear it up and spit it out but I thought it would be better to reach the heart than argue with your head. As I stated before to know God will not happen as long as you look for him in your limited mental capacity, that's just the plain fact of the matter. God dwells in a realm built by his personal FAITH that saw the end before the beginning so I ask you how in the WORLD could he be asked to reveal himself in a faithless environment?
We all go though life with questions that seem unanswerable throughout our lives but do questions really make us hate someone that we say we don't believe in or is it more like we hate what we have become and don't want to face up to the judgment involved in change?
Remember … Psalm 14: 1 says "The fool has said in his heart there is no God." it is you that must decide within your own heart that there is or is not a God but just remember you do have this in common with God:
God himself says there are NO OTHER gods but him, so in effect he too is an atheist (small case or big case)! He knows just what you mean when you say religion is fake and should be ended as it is! The real Atheists are the hypocrites in religious power who deny him while saying they serve him ….. this is true "A-theism" to be able to use a holy thing for all the wrong reasons means you really don't believe what you represent!
Isaiah 44: 6-8
"Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.
And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew unto them. 8Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any. "
