I Don't Believe In Atheists!
|
That's right, I don't believe in atheists. I think people
who say they are atheists are some of the most ardent believers in God on the
planet. They show it by their preoccupation with trying to disprove His
existence, all the while, they just don't like the way God does things. If
they were honest they would admit that they believe in God and
they don't like him... they may in fact hate Him. They feel if they were
God, they would do a much better job of running the planet. They would not
have a world with suffering, death, and evil. Seeing those things in the
world frustrates them. They want to believe that God would never allow
those things to exist if He really existed and really was good and really was in
control of the earth. And they tell themselves and others, that if He did
exist, they would not want Him to be their God.
The problems atheists are
faced with include:
|

If there is a God of the universe, why
should we believe that He is satisfied with us sticking our heads in
the sand and not investigating claims that others make about our
final destination for all eternity? |

Enormous amounts of proof of God do exist
and His
complex, ordered, intricately designed universe is a tremenous testimony to
that fact - which the atheist's denial only serves to make the atheist a liar.
It does not make God go away and does not make the universe conform to the
simplistic and often preposterous arguments of the evolutionist. The
more a person studies the world around them, the more of a fool they become
when they deny the overwhelmingly vast amounts of evidence for
super-intelligent design, with DNA and molecular machines being
just two glaring examples. Mathematical probabilities
totally rule out the idea that our complex world is the result
of chance or random mutations. EVERYTHING on earth and
throughout the universe is incredibly interdependent.

They are
not as smart as God nor are they as holy as God.
They only understand the minutest fraction of what there is to
know about the world around them, even the workings of their own bodies, so
how can they make a determination as to what a good God should or shouldn't
do? What if God came up with a plan to show people the depth of His
love, by coming into this world and allowing His creatures to scourge Him,
mock Him, spit upon Him, and crucify Him? And He allowed all this to happen
to pay for the sins of these wicked people and others who sinned against
Him, including those who are so adamant about shutting God out of their
lives, that they deny He even exists.
-
Why should God let them into heaven if they die and find
out they were wrong about God? In fact, these people would hate
to spend eternity with a God whose commandments they trampled on or ignored
their whole lives. But then, if God is holy and just, and if sin has
to be punished in order to satisfy the justice of God, who will be their
savior after death, when they had a whole lifetime to repent and turn to
Christ for salvation? Indeed, their attitude towards God and sin will
only get worse and worse as eternity wears on and as these former professing
atheists heap up more sins upon themselves with every thought that crosses
their minds and every word that comes out of their mouths in the unending
eons of time that make up eternity.
-
They will die someday. That's
right, a person can wave their fist in rebellion against God for
only so long. Eventually their appointment with death will
arrive and they will have to answer to God for their sins just
like every rebel who died before them.
Be they atheist, Hindu, Muslim, or the most devout Catholic on
the planet, they will never experience the eternal blessings of
the Almighty if they die in their sins, without having
experienced the "new birth" in this life. The new birth is
necessary for ANYBODY who will ever go to heaven and who will
ever hope to avoid eternity in hell. The
new birth
(also known as being "born again") is what makes a person the
kind of religious fanatic who will be able to not only tolerate,
but thoroughly enjoy being around a very holy God for all
eternity... just as you may now enjoy being around people who
love the things you love.
