Why do Atheists exist?

Why does atheism exist within our supernatural Universe?

The core tenet of all creation, both angelic and human, is the necessity of free will firmly implanted within God’s sentient creatures, those created and ordained specifically to commune and relate to their Creator with intimacy and purpose. God the Father has placed before all of human kind three-forms of empirical, extant, evidence that testifies of His reality in both the Spiritual Realm and the Realm of Time,

  1. The supernatural universe that consumes our senses 24/7/365; a supernatural universe and origin that is beyond man’s naturalistic ability to define.
  2. The inspired and inerrant letter from our Creator (the Autographs) spanning 1400-years, three-continents, three-languages, forty-authors specifically chosen and anointed by God the Holy Spirit to scratch God’s divine thoughts and His perfect will upon parchment.
  3. The hypostatic union of God and man (Philippians 2:6-8), Jesus Christ, who entered the Realm of Time 2020-years ago and walked among man for 33.5-years defining the unseen God who is Spirit (John 4:24) and God’s Plan for Time and Eternity while offering forgiveness of sin and eternal life to all who believe in Jesus as Lord (John 3:16) via the imputation.

Interestingly, a sizeable number of men and women from the Sixth-Day of Creation forward have chosen to reject these forms of evidence relevant to our Creator’s validity and they’ve mounted philosophical, logical, biased, objections-arguments, some with great vitriol, to the idea or even the possibility that an intellectually, morally, ethically, superior being possessing omnipotence, omnipresence, omniscience, infinity, is causation for all creation. Why?Why does God make Himself elusive to some while revealing Himself so thoroughly and obviously to others? Why does it appear that God rejects some while favoring others? Was Calvin correct, does God predestined “many” to die in Hell while choosing a “few” to life with Him in the Kingdom? Is this possible? Actually, NO!

Elohim provides the answer in the second and third chapters of His Book of Beginnings titled in many compilations of God’s letters to His creation as “The Genesis.” God is the definition of perfect LOVE (1 John 4:8) and in order for true love to manifest and be sustained with purity and authenticity, the parties sharing love must possess the ability to choose that relationship or reject same; otherwise, the relationship is one of coercion or convenience and the beauty of shared love is not realized but thwarted by self-interest or worse, fear. From the beginning of our creation constrained by Time and physics, God created mankind to commune with Him, to love Him, to live with Him eternally. In order for the first man Adam to commune with God in intimacy, Adam was provided the opportunity via free will to choose intimacy with God or to choose compromise with evil and pursue his own will apart from God’s Covenant of provision and sustenance. The ONLY contingency placed upon Adam and his enjoyment of God’s Covenant was “obedience.” Adam and his wife, Eve, chose to pursue their own will and deny God’s sovereignty and perfect will for their life; therefore, God honored Adam and Eve, their free will choice to live apart from God and pursue their own values, morals, ethics.

It is no different today with the relationship or the lack thereof between God and mankind. God the Father is a Gentleman by nature and He will NOT force Himself upon anyone or coerce anyone to love Him, serve Him, worship Him, but God allows every man and woman to “choose” whom they will serve. If a man or woman possesses a heart that desperately desires to know God, God WILL reveal Himself to that person in an undeniable manner. The individual who humbles them self before God and seeks His perfect will for their life, they WILL find God and find an incredibly beautiful and loving relationship with God the Father by faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Mediator for sin and in addition, God the Father provides the Gift of the indwelling Holy Spirit to take-up residence within those who love God and through the Spirit and Sanctification (a walk of obedience to God’s will) the greatest love known to mankind is realized and that relationship will continue throughout Eternity.

On the other hand, those who do not possess a heart that desires to know God, God hardens (Romans 9:18) and allows these individuals to pursue their own will, their personal desires in moral relativism and narcissism, hedonism, sensuality, and God will forever remain an enigma to the atheist, nihilist, secular humanist (Romans 1:18-32). God cannot and will not force Himself upon anyone as a coerced relationship is impotent, unfulfilling, injurious and wasteful.

In conclusion,

Anyone who truly desires to know God will find Him as God will reveal Himself to them and anyone who does not desire to know God will never see or understand what God has placed before them in love as God desperately desires all men and women to be saved from sin and death in Hell and God desperately desires every man and woman come to a knowledge of the Truth (1 Timothy 2:4) as God is NOT FAR from each of us (Acts 17:27).

“There are honest doubters and dishonest doubters. An honest doubter is willing to search out the truth and live by the results; a dishonest doubter doesn’t want to know the truth. He can’t find God for the same reason a thief can’t find a policeman.” Adrian Rogers

Atheist argues that Atheism is not evil, a response…

Atheist argues with the Holy Spirit’s inspired word: “Someone isn’t Satan’s servant because they are an atheist since merely being atheist isn’t evil (also Satan is mythological).”

Christian response,

The Scriptures disagree. In this life that constrains us by Time and physics, we have but two-options concerning our loyalties relevant to Eternity.

1) Honor God the Father through faith in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Mediator for sin thereby establishing relationship with Him by grace through faith and inheriting the promise of eternal life in the New Jerusalem with Messiah (John 3:16).

2) Reject our God and pursue a life of moral relativism and narcissism in servitude to Satan, God’s nemesis, and die in sin and ultimately die the “second death” in Hell (John 8:24; Revelation 20:11-15).

There are NO OTHER OPTIONS available to anyone having been born into Time and having attained an age of reason sufficient to discern moral good from evil. You are either alive in Jesus or spiritually dead in Satan. You may not interpret atheism as evil but the rejection of God’s Truth and His reality find their origin in the demonic and was first used by Satan to deceive the first woman, Eve.

What are we doing on this Planet?

Question on FB: “What are we doing on this Planet?”

Christian response,

The entirety of the Universe and our genome was created in direct response to an unfathomable rebellion that manifest in the Kingdom of God before the creation of Time. This rebellion was of such magnitude and destruction that God the Father extricated the participants warring against Him and ultimately placed them upon this Earth partially constrained by Time and physics; the Earth having been created for cause with rapidity for the sole purpose of removing evil from the Kingdom where nothing impure is permitted to exist (Revelation 21:27).

Our entire creation and our individual lives are focused on ONE primary objective, we are participants in a cosmic struggle between good v. evil and the Son of God entered Time specifically “to destroy the works of the Devil” (1 John 3:8b) via the Gospel of Jesus Christ ordained “before the beginning of Time” (2 Timothy 1:9-10; Genesis 3:21). God the Father is presently demonstrating to the faithful angelic creation the horrors of sin and disobedience, a scenario that has been playing-out for 6020-years thus far. All of human suffering, death, are the resultant of evil introduced first by God’s nemesis, Satan, and the angels that followed Satan in the rebellion.

Subsequent to the Millennial Reign of Messiah where absolute peace will manifest upon the Earth while Satan is bound for 1000-years and then released, this unique Kingdom ruled by Jesus Christ will finally convince the faithful angelic creation that indeed their former boss, Satan, is the culprit for all sin and suffering and these angels will concur with the Father that His extrication of Satan and the fallen angels (Luke 10:18; Revelation 12) was just and holy and these faithful angels will concur with the Father that Satan does indeed deserve eternal torment in Hell forever and ever (Revelation 20:10). Hell having been created specifically for Satan and the fallen angels (Matthew 25:41).

Human kind is the byproduct of the Gospel dealing with sin and evil having been introduced into the Kingdom of God and in God’s mercy for having created us as participants in this cosmic war, God has demonstrated His perfect LOVE and compassion by giving Himself as a blood sacrifice through selfless love and suffering for a rebellious and stubborn people yet God is faithful and Holy and the faithful angels look-on with amazement at what their God has done and they are reassured that He is worthy of all praise and worship and servitude as there is no One greater. In all of this, God will have been successful in maintaining volitional love with His faithful angelic creation that He absolutely adores while simultaneously destroying the works of the Evil One through His own selfless LOVE.

The One who successfully destroyed the works of the Devil (death, Hell, the grave) through the Crucifixion (Genesis 3:15; 1 John 3:8b), Jesus Christ our Lord, is presently preparing a New Kingdom (the New Jerusalem) (John 14:3) and in a most unique turn of events, God will live among His created beings in a resurrected body and those who have loved God in Jesus Christ and served Him faithfully by grace thorough faith in what He has done for mankind within the Realm of Time, these faithful will serve the Living God in resurrected, redeemed, bodies in a New Kingdom on a New Earth having been purified by fire within a New Heaven, FOREVER.

Atheist uses Philosophy-Logic to reject God’s reality, a response…

The lies of Satan’s servants i.e. atheism expressed on FB in worn-out illogical philosophy of men and women who refuse to acknowledge God’s Truth: “The argument from reasonable nonbelief (or the argument from divine hiddenness) says that if God existed (and was perfectly good and loving) every reasonable person would have been brought to believe in God; however, there are reasonable nonbelievers; therefore, this God does not exist.

Christian response,

First, every reasonable and unreasonable person intuitively knows that God exists; this knowledge is first attained by simply observing what God has made and placed before our eyes in nature; therefore, every atheist standing in the Judgment of the Condemned will be “without excuse” (Revelation 20:11-15; Romans 1:18-32).

Then, God reveals Himself in His letter to humanity spanning 1400-years, three-continents, three-languages, forty-authors, sixty-six-individual letters, inspired by God, replete with fulfilled prophecy and eschatology; then, the Holy Spirit meticulously preserved these words down through a violent and tumultuous history where men possessing the spirit that inspires atheists and secular humanists to war against God, this evil spirit called the Devil and Satan made every attempt to destroy those words of God but they remain and the Holy Spirit has been victorious.

Then, God manifest in flesh 2020-years ago, entered Time through the hypostatic union (Philippians 2:6-8) and physically walked among us for 33.5-years fulfilling over 300-prophecies about Himself and He worked miracles and wonders among the people. God gave Himself in selfless love through suffering and dying upon a Roman Cross to pay the sin-debt of humanity for everyone who believes in Him as Lord and Mediator for sin.

In conclusion,

God has given His all for human kind but atheists are simply stubborn, willfully blind, and determined to die in destruction. These men and women will reap what they sow. Please, don’t follow the atheist, the secular humanists, the nihilists, Darwinist, to perdition and futility in foolishness. Believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and LIVE.

Why does the Universe reward Corruption with Power?

Question on FB: “QUESTION: Why does the Universe reward Corruption with Power?”

Christian response,

Corruption appears to be rewarded with power within the Realm of Time because our God is permitting Satan to rule and reign and display his evilness as the faithful angelic creation watches with horror as their former boss and former brethren display through their evil why it is was necessary for God to extricate them from the Kingdom as God is demonstrating the necessity for obedience to His will and wisdom within His Kingdom. What we’re observing playing-out before our eyes finds its genesis in the Kingdom of God before the beginning of Time. We are players in an unfathomable cosmic struggle between good v. evil, a struggle that surrounds and consumes us, and those who war according to God’s Plan will be victorious; those who war as allies to God’s nemesis will lose everything. This is spiritual and it must be interpreted and discerned through the Holy Spirit to be understood. 

Atheist questions the validity of Messiah’s hypostatic union, a response…

Atheist questions the validity of Messiah’s hypostatic union:“On a church website this was posted: It seems there are only 3 options for considering the composition of Jesus’ DNA:

  1. Jesus has 100% Mary’s DNA with a divinely created Y chromosome to make Him male.
  2. Jesus has 50% DNA from a human female (Mary) and 50% DNA from God, to replace that of a human male.
  3. Jesus has DNA created entirely by God at the time of His conception.

Thoughts?

Christian response,

Every human being and their DNA is 100% created entirely by God which is our complex genome (Genesis 1:26-28). Jesus Christ, as prophesied as early as Genesis 3:15, was born of the seed of the woman (virgin) and fertilized by the Holy Spirit (Luke 1:35) as first introduced in Genesis 1:2. This combination of man and God is referred to theologically as the “hypostatic union” (Philippians 2:5-8) which was essential if Jesus was to fulfill His primary objective within the Realm of Time; that is, “to destroy the works of the Devil” (1 John 3:8b) and accomplish this mission via the Gospel that was ordained “before the beginning of Time” (2 Timothy 1:9-10) and this Gospel is first pictured for us by Elohim in Genesis 3:21; that is, God Himself clothing man in His own “robe of righteousness” through imputation (2 Corinthians 5:21) through the shedding of innocent blood (Hebrews 4:14-16; Luke 22:20) while rejecting man’s attempts to cover his own sin and shame through the works of his hands i.e. fig leaves (Ephesians 2:8-9; Galatians 2:16; Romans 3:20).

Messiah’s hypostatic union of God and man permitted Messiah to circumvent the sin-nature that is passed genomically through the seed of the first man, Adam (Romans 5:12-21) and successively through our Earthly father. Jesus, though tempted in all ways just as we (Hebrews 4:15), remained physiologically and spiritually pure during His 33.5-year sojourn upon this Earth (John 8:46) thereby permitting Jesus to fulfill the mandates of the Sinai Decalogue and the 613-Levitical Laws (Matthew 5:17), something no man born of the seed of Adam could accomplish due to the sin-nature; the fulfillment of the Laws of God with absolute perfection qualified Messiah Jesus to be the ONLY acceptable atonement for sin as per the Law which mandates said Laws must be obeyed with perfection if righteousness is to be attained through Law (James 2:10; Galatians 3:10; Deuteronomy 27:26).

Void Messiah’s hypostatic union of God and man and blood, mankind would be lost in sin and hopeless in this condition as God the Father has so decreed that nothing impure will ever enter His Kingdom (Revelation 21:27); therefore, the Father has decreed by Covenant and Grace (John 3:16) that anyone who “believes” in the Son, Jesus Christ, believes that Jesus is God who died to pay their sin-debt, believes this sincerely in their heart and confesses this with their mouth, believes that Jesus was raised from the dead for their justification, they will be forgiven of all sin, past-present-future, and Guaranteed eternal life with God through the Gift of the indwelling Holy Spirit who takes-up residence within the faithful in Christ and daily walks them in the process of sanctification-obedience as the faithful are prepared for service in God’s Kingdom i.e. The New Jerusalem (Romans 10:9-10; Ephesians 1:13-14; 1 John 2:27; Galatians 5:16; Revelation 21).

Why so many Christian Denominations?

Question posited on Facebook: “Why are there so many Christian denominations?”

Christian response,

Christian denominations exist because Satan is an incredibly astute military tactician and routinely employs the tactic of “divide and conquer.” Satan has infused narcissism-pride-arrogance-covetousness into what was once a STRONG – UNIFIED body of believers in the First-Century Church and over the years Satan has fractured them into bickering factions of denominations/divisions/religions/sects/cults arguing over worship style, Church architecture, carpet color, music, dress, Gifts, baptism, grace, faith, security, tongues, the Trinity…this is why Christianity in America has quietly allowed godless, atheistic, secular humanistic, communists who murder babies in their mommy’s womb and care nothing for life from the womb to the tomb, who espouse sodomy in our streets and directly attack God and His Marriage Covenant between one-man and one-woman and our posterity who murders themselves in gender confusion orchestrated by Satan himself; this is how a super-majority of communists now occupy our House-Senate-Oval Office. This is why America is dying in the name of Karl Marx. This is why America’s schools are graduating millions upon millions of godless, atheistic secular humanists who hate God, America, our Constitutional Republic and the freedoms our fathers have fought and died for. This is why God has walked away from our apostasy.

Atheist mocks God INRE to Abraham-Isaac “sacrifice” scenario, a response…

Atheist mocks God as a failure for Abraham’s faithfulness concerning Isaac as a sacrifice: “The greatest personal failing in the Bible has to be Abraham almost killing his son, Isaac, because God told him to. Abraham did not think for himself, or question God’s authority. As I read the story, the message is blind faith can have disastrous consequences. What say you?”

Christian response,

Abraham believed God and knew that if Isaac was to be offered that God would raise Isaac from the dead as Isaac is the son of promise through Sarah not Ishmael through Hagar. God provides us the scenario involving Abraham and Isaac for a purpose.

Abraham was commanded to take his only begotten son (John 3:16 as Jesus is the “only begotten Son”) to a mountain (Mt. Moriah which is Mt. Golgotha where Messiah Jesus was crucified) and offer Isaac as a burnt offering unto the Lord. It was a three-day journey for Abraham and in Abraham’s mind his son was essentially dead as Jesus was dead (in body) in the tomb for three-days as the Father observed this horror over that time. Isaac was to carry the wood for his own sacrifice up the mountain just as Jesus carried His cross up Mt. Golgotha.

While Abraham was preparing the foundation upon which he would sacrifice his son, Isaac asked his father concerning the sacrifice that they now had the wood and were prepared to make the offering but Isaac inquired of his father, where is the lamb for the sacrifice and Abraham responded that God Himself would provide the sacrifice…again…God “HIMSELF” (some translations say that God will provide the lamb) would provide the sacrifice, this is eternally relevant.

As Abraham placed his only begotten son upon the altar of sacrifice and prepared to kill his son in obedience to God’s will, an angel of the Lord stopped Abraham and commended him for his great faith and Abraham looked up and in the nearby shrubbery was a ram (not a lamb) that was taken and sacrificed in place of Isaac…(it would be Jesus that is the “Lamb of God” who would come to take away the sins of the World – John 1:29) — study the foundation of the Jewish shofar (rams horn) having originated or having found significance among the Hebrew Tribes from this scenario.

Note: MEME suggests Isaac’s sacrifice was for sin, this is in error, this was a burnt offering as a test of Abraham’s faithfulness.

Why has America the Beautiful become the Land of Marx and Lenin?

How did America the Beautiful become the Land of Marx and Lenin?

Interestingly enough, you will find that the current societal, ideological, political, divide in America has its roots in men like John Dewey (Father of modern education) and Rousseau (1880/1900’s) both of whom were Progressives-Marxists that lit the fire of progressive-socialism in our Nation and targeted America’s educational system. Dewey loathed individualism and insisted that the collective mindset must be taught in the schools throughout America as Dewey envisioned a collective-proletariat citizenry in America’s future. America’s societal elite, hungry for narcissistic power and control, advocated for Progressivism-Socialism-Marxism. This destructive ideology permeated several Presidential administrations, our House/Senate/Scotus while the Soviet KGB/GRU after WWII targeted Hollywood and our education system with Lenin, Marxist ideology (McCarthyism with Director Hoover – Red Scare).

Then, in 1962, the secular humanists/progressives in America’s educational system successfully booted Jesus and the Bible out of schools via Engel v. Vitale (1962) supported by radical atheist, Madalyn Murray O’Hair and immediately infused Darwinian Evolutionary Theory into the Biological Sciences in the classrooms (1963) along with Marx, Lenin, revisionist history into the Humanities and these became a demonic catalyst that eventually and methodically transformed America’s youth from grade schools to graduate schools into God hating, nihilistic-secular humanistic-atheistic-communists and today we have at least two-generations of what Lenin refers to as “useful idiots” of the proletariat e.g. Millennial and Gen-Z men and women and these are flooding the voting booths and the streets in BLM and ANTIFA and Hollywood and our print media and our social media and our Wall Street and our Federal-State-County-Local governments, our school-boards, our teacher’s unions, and these communists are raising children and educating them into Marx, Lenin, Critical Race Theory, anti-American, God-hating communists and this is why our Nation is choking on the blood of murdered human life from the womb to the tomb and our children murder themselves in confusion and hopelessness as they’re unable to differentiate between little boys and little girls nor do they know what bathroom to use.

This is why demonically led Communists are in our Oval Office, a super-majority in our House and Senate and have positions of authority in our SCOTUS, our State Houses as well. We are a society of abortionists, sodomites, atheists, secular humanists, traitors, communists, narcissists, and we’ve no one to blame but our own pathetic cowardliness and unfaithfulness and apostasy. God is angry with everyone of us. Void another Civil War to put the Democrats, once again, in their place and put a check on their demonic desires for power and control, America as we knew it, is done! Communist Democrats in America have sold the United States, our children, our wealth, our Bill of Rights, to the Devil, to the Communist Chinese, to the Globalists, we’ve crossed the tipping-point, it’s now or never. DO NOT SURRENDER YOUR WEAPONS TO THIS COMMUNIST GOVERNMENT!

If Jesus died for our sins, why do Christian’s pray for forgiveness?

Question concerning Christians and their prayer for forgiveness: “If it’s true that Jesus died for our sins, why do we always pray to God for forgiveness of our sins…?”

Christian response,

Christian’s pray for forgiveness of sin not to reestablish our salvation as we are secure in the Holy Spirit by faith in Jesus via Covenant with God the Father, forever (John 10:28-30), but the Christian walks daily in the process of sanctification and is in-tune with the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:16); when we disobey God’s will for our life by word, thought, deed, we are immediately grieved and therefore quick to apologize to our Father much like we would if we wronged our best friend on this Earth; we don’t apologize because we’re fearful of losing our positional relationship but we apologize because we do NOT want anything interrupting our intimacy with our God Whom we love more than anyone or anything existing in Time or Eternity (Luke 10:27).

The Christian that has entered into relationship with God the Father by grace through faith in the Son, Jesus Christ, having received the indwelling Holy Spirit as Guarantor of that relationship (Ephesians 1:13-14) intuitively knows that our peace, our intimacy, our assurance, our personal relationship with God is the most precious GIFT one can receive (Romans 5:1); therefore, the Christian wants NOTHING interrupting that intimacy as the love of God makes life worth living.
