ATHEISM
There are two kinds of Atheists: Dogmatic
Atheists say: “There is no God!” and try to prove it by their
lifestyles. Virtual Atheists agree there
is a God but also live like the
devil.
An
ant spoke from his anthill in a dark African jungle telling the colony there is
no such place as New York City. Obviously, he had not visited America. Atheists
have not visited every place in the universe so how can
they say there is no God. Try a billion light years in every direction!
Also, God is invisible spirit that is hard to see. The invisible God, the
Father, took on human form in Jesus (John 1:1,14;14:9). An agnostic says, “I
don’t know.” Agnostic in Latin is
ignoramus. Imagine
creation without a creator or design without a designer.
Darwin
claimed to shudder when he thought of the design of a human eye. Believing in
evolution is blind faith since missing links are still missing and their only
option is a god of chance with life coming from non-life. Spiritually dead
people say, “God is dead” but they obviously confused the corpses. People
who try to find freedom by cutting themselves off from God drift with no compass
into a self-absorbed suicidal lifestyle with situation ethics, drugs, alcohol,
materialism, hopelessness and total shipwreck.
God
will judge people on the light they have received so all are without excuse.
Romans chapters 1,2 & 3 tell of internal and external evidence of God’s
existence. We have the light of creation, conscience and Christ. “The heavens
declare the glory of God” (Psalm 19). One is more accountable if he has heard
of Christ. There are varying degrees of rewards in heaven and degrees of
punishment in hell (Luke 12:47,48). There is no lack of light but people “love
darkness rather than light because their deeds are evil” (John 3:19).
In
Noah’s day “men’s thoughts were evil continually” (Genesis 6:5). God in
his wrath sent a flood and only eight survived. Doctors at times amputate a limb
to stop gangrene. God amputated almost the entire idolatrous human race and
started over with Noah. Some say “Noah’s boat is a myth.” They mythed the
boat. An atheist totally doubted God’s existence but wanted to cover all bases
so he prayed, “Oh God if there is a God, forgive my sins.” God heard that
prayer and his life was changed from the inside out. New Age, Christian Science,
Wicca and others cannot separate creation from Creator and say, “God is all
and in all.” Benny Hinn, Hinnism, says, “Father, Son and Holy spirit each
have a body, soul, and spirit” which sounds similar to Word Faith or
Mormonism.
