Atheists

Hot – Cold – Luke Warm

grahamcommand faith , , , ,

God told us He would rather we were hot or cold and warned us never to be Luke warm

There have been Christians who became cold and turned away from the faith and became atheists

Some of those turned away from being atheists and became Christians again

While some staunch atheists fully embraced Christianity and were born again

Perhaps this world is full of people who have turned so away from God they have grown cold and hard-hearted

Even when on fire for God Christians attempt to preach the gospel, they are mocked and ignored

Ray Comfort takes a different approach by asking people if they consider themselves “Good”

Then step them through a few of the Ten Commandments, by asking if they have ever lied

Ever stolen anything – or have they ever committed adultery (lustily looked)

Then tell them they will have to face God on judgement day

Then He lists all those who will not be allowed into heaven – liars -thieves etc 

Then Ray asks them “Heaven or Hell?”

  He then preaches the good news

With this in mind, the cold and lost will fare better on judgement day than the Luke Warm

In the Last days

grahamcommand Christian , , ,

For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers

Atheists might be considered as an enemy of Christians, as they certainly never seem to run short of criticism

They say Christians believe in an invisible God, and since there is no evidence to support a creator god, they discredit the Bible as a bunch of fairy stories

They also say there are thousands of gods that man created to explain things men in the past were unable to explain

Other people will say that all religions are the same, while yet others claim the universe is the source of power to grant us everything we desire – want or need (The Secret)

Richard Dawkins who has used many excessively long and none flattering words to describe the nature of the god of the old testament often expresses his hope that Christianity as a religion will dissolve into the mists of time as many other religions have done

Other atheists have sought to attack Christianity, by discrediting Jesus.

Who was the only reason for Christianity, some say He is just another mythical god, others say He was not a real person.

These are just a few of the augments atheists and other disbelievers have used against Christianity, I have only come across a few other religious videos that atheist comment on, I wonder why?

Perhaps by denying Jesus, they can deny they are sinners too, so hide in the darkness of self-importance

Yet God is able to make use of them for His purpose, to rekindle lukewarm Christians. Even if atheists knew they have been used in any way they would deny any proof

But the day is coming when every knee will bow, every tongue confess

Free Thinkers & Atheists

grahamcommand Christian, faith, Religion, Uncategorized , , , , , , , ,

Both of these groups consider themselves rationally thinkers and judging by the amount of time and effort they put into their attempts to educate us stupid Christians, we evidently annoy them greatly

Atheists spend much of their time commenting on Christian videos, either mocking or leaving insult remarks which in turn prompts Christians to respond in assorted ways

Some respond with Bible quotes or personal comments, but it seems to me both groups are wasting time and energy

Atheists such as Richard Dawkins insist that this world would be better off without any religion and the Bible along with other holy books are just a books of fairy stories

Richard and others like him think it’s their duty to eradicate all traces of every religion, by re-educating all believers and convert us into their considered understanding

They often refer to Christians as brain washed, and not capable of rational thinking, and they say we should be like them and question everything, even though questioning everything is part of the human nature

Atheists state it is because of Christianity in particular is holding  the progress the human race and only when all traces of all religion has been wiped from our minds will humans begin to reach their full potential

Turning to another group who on the surface could be considered religious, those who teach or follow the teaching of The Secret, who have been known to use passages from the Bible

Including words spoken by Jesus, which they manipulate to suit their own teaching while they attemptt to appear to support Christian faith teachings, but only to make their abundance claims more appealing

Not forget all those whose earnest desire is to bring about a one world religion, which to them seem the way to avoid more wars, by integrating all religions into one mismatch belief

It occurred to me while writing this that atheists freethinkers need all religions especially Christianity to keep them active, less they lose their driven passion

Likewise Christians need atheists to keep them on fire for God, in reaction to the sharp edged remarks about God, Jesus and the Bible

As for me I certainly needed prodding from atheists to stir and rekindle my faith fire, through scathing remarks I came across in Christian YouTube videos

If I had not read those mostly unkind remarks, I might have plodded along into deeper apathy and even fallen away from believing altogether

So I often thank God for turning my addiction and apathetic situation around by directing me to those comments from several atheists

A Question of Faith

grahamcommand Christian, faith, Religion , , , , , ,

This is my update about a group of videos on YouTube, uploaded by a group of Atheists, who run a live phone in debate programme, and video them so they can get a wider audience watching

Who ask for believers to phone and have discussion about why they believe, and then proceed to try to make the believer seem silly or stupid or blinded by what they term fairy stories

Even going as far as stating the there is no proof that Jesus actually lived at all, and boldly claiming there is no heavily supreme god

They also question why the believer thinks the Bible is true and ask what proof the believer can offer

But when any believer say “it’s by faith I believe”, the Atheists disregard this by saying to the believer they need to wake up to reality

So why do I continue to watch these videos you may well ask, because those Atheist radio phone in programmes only serve to make me more determined to prove them wrong, even at times I can see valid arguments against religion as a whole

 

As there have been many occasions in history that Christianity has been used in a self-righteous way by a man’s vanity to be superior over of the races

Killing or enslaving many others in the name of Christ, although this was totally wrong and against Christ’s teaching, this was because of man’s inability to interpret capital God’s will

The Pharisees of the Old Testament often by adding to their own regulations which became burdensome to the people they were meant to be teaching

Pharisees well-known for this form of self-righteousness, Jesus frequently chastised them for almost completely turning away from the rules that there have been given by God

As to the remark by the atheists that Jesus was never born and the story of his birth history as another fairy story within the holy Bible which according to them is full of for fairy stories

Many are the atheist’s claim that the holy Bible has been proven to be wrong and it was written by nomadic tribes of a superstitious nature and therefore has no truth in it in

However this argument by the atheist’s falls short Internet the Bible is in two sections, the first being the Old Testament and the other the New Testament

New Testament was written by the apostles, including the devout zealous Jew, Paul who before he became a Christian put many of Christ’s followers to death until the day Jesus appeared to him until the day he would accept Christ as his saviour

 

As to the atheists statement that Jesus was never even born, and purely a fictional character they failed to provide any reason why stories of Jesus

Why would anyone produce such stories and include them in what was to become the New Testament of the Holly Bible book?

Furthermore if Jesus was not in life had never been born and lived and died on the cross or tree as explained in the gospels, then how is it possible that so many people’s lives have been transformed when it pray to Jesus coming to you, into their lives?

For example the founder of the salvation army William Booth was stronger convinced that the word of god needed to be taken to those who needed the gospels taught to them and he went into the east end of London which was in those days unsuitable place to go preaching

As there were many vices were rife, also there was no compassion within that community

Even so he went ahead and preached frequently although there was great opposition to his and his speaking and all did not go well but he persisted

Overtime conversions to the faith began and grew, for many would transform from their worthless and pointless lives into more fulfilled and happier lives

Even in these present days, many lives have been totally transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit, after accepting Jesus as their Lord and Saviour
