There exists NO religion, secular or theological, that requires greater faith from its adherents than the religion of Atheism.
Consider this: The Atheist must believe that nothing produces everything, non-life produces life, randomness produces fine-tuning, chaos produces information, unconsciousness produces consciousness, and non-reason produces reason and “In the beginning” there was NOTHING that exploded and from this chaos emanated design, logic, reason, purpose, morality, LIFE – the complex human genome.
With that said, what are the defining religious “tenets” of Atheism?
1) Faith – belief that nothing created something.
2) Infanticide – seeing that life is the product of a primordial soup that arose from the abyss, life has no intrinsic value therefore narcissism is god, sensual pleasure is the epitome of existence and reality; therefore, anything or anyone that is an encumbrance to one’s narcissistic desires is easily remedied by death of the “obstruction.” In Atheism, children are a byproduct of sensuality; therefore, expendable through death and a simple flush of the toilet.
3) Lesbianism – Gayness – Bisexuality – Transsexualism – Queerdom // Seeing that objective morality is an irrelevant construct of man’s theological religions, the secular religion of Atheism strictly adheres to “moral relativism;” therefore, the human body is a social experiment for pleasuring sexually and the epitome of the “human experience” is one’s sexuality and the freedom to express same void societal limitations…to Hell with societal morality – long live the sexual genitalia as icons of godly pleasure.
4) Moral Relativism – “If it feels good – do it” – after all – It’s your life baby…enjoy it.
5) Darwinism – Evolutionary Theory – a lesser god in Atheism from which all things find purpose in origin. Nothing created Something that exploded and provided Meaning; therefore, Charles Darwin and Richard Dawkins are atheistic deity.
In conclusion:
Atheism is a religion of the demonic – an all encompassing destructive entity in any society seeking sustainable mores, norms, values, a healthy and productive foundation for a future posterity. Atheism has no place in American society based upon the precepts of a Constitutional Republic that was founded upon the precepts of Christianity. Atheism and its parishioners are to be feared and shunned and ostracized from a society if that society is to have any hope of sustainability.
I hear the demonically deceived atheists and secular humanists that plague these forums and debates with baseless, unsubstantiated, rhetoric, theories, concerning the myths espoused by Darwin, Aron Ra, Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins, Hawking…and I ask the atheist to provide evidence that our Creator does not exist by providing evidence of a naturalistic creation apart from a supernatural Creator yet no evidence is forthcoming; therefore, is it logical to conclude that an atheist’ denial of an omnipotent, supernatural, Creator is based solely upon FAITH? I think it is, change my mind?
Did Elohim foreordain – predestine the Atheist to reject Him in Jesus Christ?
Romans 8:29: For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.”
Christian Response…
Romans 8:29 tells you that Elohim foreknew you and predestined you to conform to the image of Jesus Christ via the imputation by faith but you chose to conform to the image of Elohim’s nemesis, Satan.
Consider this as it is most relevant, a case in point…
Elohim also foreknew and foreordained Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, as the Patriarchy of a people Elohim called “the apple of my eye” (Zechariah 2:8) and Elohim lavished them with His covenants and provisions and protection and sustenance as they were to be the progenitors of His Messiah through Judah; Messiah Yeshua came directly, specifically, to Israel’s children (Matthew 15:24) to proselytize them in the New Covenant’s Gospel and prepare them as ministers of the Gospel to the entire World via the Great Commission; this, in fulfillment of Elohim’s promise to Abraham (Genesis 12:3b); unfortunately, Israel’s children (like you and other atheists in this forum) rejected their Messiah; Israel’s children rejected the New Covenant and the Gospel; Israel’s children via free will rejected their ordination as ministers of the Great Commission; Israel’s children conspired with Rome to murder their Messiah upon a tree while exclaiming that Messiah’s blood be upon them and their children (Matthew 27:25); therefore, Elohim in Jesus was broken and crushed due their rejection (Matthew 23:37) and ultimately the Gospel and the Great Commission were taken from Israel and given to the Gentile; this, until the fullness of the Gentiles have entered the Kingdom (Romans 11:25; Acts 13:46) and Israel has subsequently, consequently, been placed under judgment and only a “remnant” of Israel’s children will escape the “second death” in Hell due their unbelief and their blindness (Isaiah 10:22; Romans 9:27); therefore, even though Elohim poured Himself and His divine codified laws and covenants into Israel’s children, it was their rejection, their unbelief, their stubbornness, that overrode Elohim’s divine will and ordination of Israel’s children…you are no different…you have been given Jesus as Mediator for your sin by faith yet you err in wisdom and judgment and discernment exactly like Israel’s children, to this very day.
Concerning the Atheist – Marxist – and their criticism of Jesus our Messiah – His morality and His righteousness…
Morality finds its genesis in our moral, ethical, holy, righteous, Creator, Elohim, as He has written His eternal Spiritual Law upon the human heart (Romans 2:14-15; Hebrews 10:16), infused same within the human genome on Day-6 as Elohim created human kind in His spiritual image possessing certain divine communicable attributes; this, for His eschatological purposes going forward; specifically, as a bulwark against unrestrained narcissism that would have inevitably culminated in societal implosion (Genesis 1:26-28).
The Spiritual Law has been extant as an arbiter of free will subsequent the creation of the angels and that Law will remain extant throughout Eternity as free will remains extant by necessity; this, concerning love and intimacy and relationship with our Creator (John 3:16). The Spiritual Law will also be employed by Jesus Christ at your “Judgment of the Condemned” (Rev 20:11-15) and that Spiritual Law will adjudicate you “guilty” where you will lose both body and soul in Hell in the “second death” as you have rejected Jesus as your Messiah and atonement for your sin (John 3; Acts 4:12).
Elohim does not act in a tyrannical way…He responds with justice and appropriate judgement; after all, this is HIS creation. It is your spiritual father, Satan (John 8:44), that is causation for tyranny and suffering and death and you will perish in Hell in a fate similar to his in that Day (Rev 20:10). Elohim has a specific reason and cause for having created the Realm of Time and physics…this is beyond you or your judgement…you’re but a vapor, a breath in Time (James 4:14) and your spiritual positioning makes you rather irrelevant as well as the only purpose you have in the Realm of Time is servitude to Jesus as His ally but you have chosen to be His foe and you will therefore reap what you sow (Galatians 6:7-8).
Is “repentance” with faith a crucial element of salvation? (Luke 13:3)
Discussion,
Yes, the expression of one’s sincere sorrow for a life lived in sin is essential as an element of salvation along with faith in Jesus as Messiah but I say this with an often times misunderstood caveat.
One expresses their sorrow for a sinful life and a sincere desire to repent at Salvation but true repentance is not possible until the Holy Spirit takes up residence within the believer as Guarantor of New Covenant relationship (Ephesians 1:13-14) and the believer begins their daily walk in Christian sanctification where the Spirit combines the “new creation” in Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:17) with the enlivened spiritual law written upon the heart (Hebrews 10:16); it is at this juncture that obedience/repentance is realized through the production of divine fruit (Galatians 5:22-23) in the daily life of those who belong to Jesus by faith (Galatians 5:16-23; John 15:8).
Jesus commands repentance as does the Holy Spirit,
Yes, Jesus has told us that unless one repents they will in no way enter the Kingdom of Elohim (Luke 13:3) and sincere sorrow for a life of sin expressed as part of the salvation confession is essential in combination with sincere faith-belief that Jesus is Messiah but the realization of true repentance, actuated repentance, does NOT manifest until subsequent salvation as this true repentance is only possible by obedience to the indwelling Holy Spirit who is Guarantor of New Covenant relationship with the Father established by faith in Jesus as Messiah (Ephesians 1:13-14).
Repentance does NOT suggest a works salvation,
It is not necessary nor is it possible that one “change their life” first in order to receive the promise of salvation by faith but it is necessary that one express true sorrow for a life lived in disobedience while simultaneously possessing a heart that desires divine “change” in combination with faith, faith that Jesus is Messiah who died for our sin and it is the Holy Spirit who takes the sincere desire for “change” and makes that change a reality through His divine work in daily sanctification via the production of divine fruit; Jesus said, “You will know them by their fruit” (Matthew 7:15-20).
Therefore, you cannot sufficiently clean-purify yourself by good works in order to make yourself righteous before Elohim (Galatians 2:16; Romans 3:21), only the Holy Spirit changes the human heart and the Spirit only works sanctification in the life of the one who expresses sincere faith in Jesus as Messiah. You are “made righteous” through the “imputation” or gifting of Messiah’s righteousness over your life by faith in Him as your Messiah (2 Corinthians 5:21); this, by faith in Jesus, and you are only sanctified through the work of the indwelling Holy Spirit during daily sanctification, a life-long process where the Holy Spirit prepares the redeemed in Jesus for service in the New Jerusalem (Galatians 5:16); it is during daily sanctification that true repentance manifests through the production of divine fruit (John 15:8; Matthew 3:8).
Case in point concerning repentance,
If you offended me and hated me and ridiculed me through your actions and words but came to me asking for a favor or intercession due my unique ability to provide that “favor” but you remained in your offensive posture…why would I entertain your request seeing that you express no desire to change your attitude toward me? Why would Elohim entertain the prayer for salvation offered by one who had no intent or desire to change their obsession with the Adamic sin-nature?
Why did Jesus ask the Father if the suffering of the Cross was necessary for Him to endure?
Discussion,
My God, My God, why has thou forsaken me? Matthew 27:46 – Psalm 22:1
saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.” Luke 22:42
When interpreting Jesus’ words throughout His Earthly ministry, it is very important to differentiate between Jesus speaking from His hypostasis (divine union of Deity & Flesh) and Jesus’ words spoken exclusively from His Deity (Philippians 2:5-11). Jesus’ primary reason for entering the Realm of Time was “to destroy the works of the Devil” (1 John 3:8b) as per Genesis 3:15 and the battle strategy He was foreordained to employ is the Gospel of Grace, a Gospel that was ordained “before Time began” (2 Timothy 1:8-10), a battle strategy that Elohim demonstrated for us in Genesis 3:21; this, immediately subsequent the fall of humanity.
Jesus modeled for us, in His humanity, proper protocol concerning relationship with the Father, one of trust and obedience. Jesus honored a delineation of authority in the Godhead and Jesus modeled obedience to the Father in all things even though Jesus possessed a separate will (Luke 22:42), a separate will primarily influenced via the hypostatic union, a will integral with the flesh (Philippians 2:5-11). The unfathomable role that Jesus was to fulfill as the “Spotless Lamb of Elohim” “who takes away the sins of the World” (John 1:29; 1 Peter 1:18-19; Matthew 26:26-29) was not only physiologically devastating as He would be scourged-beaten beyond recognition by the Roman authorities and almost bleed to death via lacerations – trauma as prophesied in Isaiah 53 and Psalm 22, but Jesus would receive spikes through His hands, a spike through His feet, hung on a tree until He suffocated to death; this, while struggling to push Himself upwards against the gravity working to collapse his lung cavity; this physiological suffering, which was only surpassed by the spiritual separation from the Father, was something Jesus had never experienced in His eternal relationship with the Father; this, as your sin and my sin was placed upon Him, sin that Jesus had never experienced in His Deity; therefore, in His humanity Jesus asked the Father if there was any alternative to what was foreordained for Him to suffer; in response to the overwhelming stress, Jesus literally sweat drops of blood in His anxiety (Luke 22:44 – Hematohidrosis) yet Jesus honored the Father’s will and complied with the eschatological mandates of the Cross in order to “destroy the works of the Devil” i.e., death-Hell-the grave; this, for all who would believe that Jesus is the Messiah who died for them (John 3; 1 John 3:8b).
Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection are eschatological imperatives concerning the restoration of peace, holiness, order, to the Kingdom ravaged by a coup d’état initiated by a rebellious cherub and the spiritual war that ensued having been relegated to this Earth, a spiritual war partially constrained by Time and physics that was foreordained to be won by the Messiah as per Genesis 3:15; this, in addition to all that has transpired over the previous 6000-years of unfathomable horror within the Realm of Time, these eschatological imperatives will ultimately be a bulwark against future rebellion in the Kingdom, the New Jerusalem, where free will remains extant by necessity.
You and I are active participants in this spiritual war that rages on around us and through us 24/7/365 (Ephesians 6) and we are relegated to two-choices concerning our loyalty and servitude in our Earthly lives constrained by Time and physics…do we honor Jesus as Messiah as He endeavors to right the wrong committed in the Kingdom before the Creation narrative or do we ally with the nemesis of Jesus through unbelief? Our eternal destiny is wholly contingent upon whom we choose to ally with and serve within the Realm of Time.
Jews and Israelite’s insist that the New Covenant was given only to Israel; therefore, the Gentile is excluded; what is the truth? (Ezekiel 36; Jeremiah 31)
Discussion,
The promise to Abraham by Elohim is inclusive of “every family of the Earth;” this, long before Jacob and the 12-Tribes (Genesis 12:3b). Israel was foreordained to be ministers of the Gospel, the Great Commission and Messiah came directly to them for this specific purpose (Matthew 15:24), but Israel rejected their Messiah and conspired to murder Him upon a tree while exclaiming that Messiah’s blood be upon them and their children (Matthew 27:25); Israel rejected the Gospel and the Great Commission (Matthew 23:37); therefore, Elohim pivoted eschatologically and gave the Gospel and the Great Commission to the Gentile (Romans 11:25; Acts 13:46); therefore, only a “remnant” of Israel’s children will escape the “second death” in Hell due their unbelief, rejection of Yeshua as Messiah (Isaiah 10:22; Romans 9:27); apparently, Torah is not a path to righteousness (Galatians 2:16; Romans 3:20) other than as a roadmap pointing Israel to their need for Messiah by faith (Galatians 3:24).
Atheism does not exist in reality; why is the deception promulgated among the aberrant?
“The atheist can’t find God for the same reason that a thief can’t find a police officer.” Author unknown
There are no “facts” or “logic” relevant to Atheism as Atheism is a religion of fools as per the Holy Spirit (Psalm 14:1); Atheism is a religion and its tenets are arrogance and narcissism defending aberrant sin and a death-style culminating in eternal nihilism. Atheism’s “god” is Satan (2 Corinthians 4:4).
Christianity looks at the World from a Biblical perspective and the Bible simply aligns with what we see in nature and life around us. The Scriptures explain everything relevant concerning our creation and our existence within it while atheism explains NOTHING but provides only obfuscation for a debased and sinful life of addiction to narcissism and hedonism.
In its most basic assertions, the Bible tells you that we are the product of an omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, Designer and all that we see in nature and in the Heavens lends credence to this assertion; this, while the confounded and disturbed atheist has NO explanation for creation or how or why; therefore, Atheism truly does not exist…it is an illogical form of escapism, nihilism, that under girds a life of aberrant lust and destructive desires and narcissism unrestrained which inevitably culminates in a death defined by nihilism. Atheism is demonically rooted escapism from reality placating a seared, defiled, conscience.
Atheism is demonic deception in its genesis; Atheism is the illogical based in nihilism asserting ignorance. There are no true Atheists lest the one claiming same is mentally incompetent and completely unable to discern the World around him/her/he-she-his. The Atheist cannot truly say that a Designer – a Creator does not exist but they can only wish that He did not exist as they have NO OTHER PLAUSIBLE EXPLANATION concerning the supernatural World around us and its origin. You can say you don’t “believe” but you cannot say in the affirmative via evidence that there is no God because you don’t KNOW and you possess no relevant counter argument that negates the reality of God or explains the reality around us that is supernatural, present clearly by design; thus, mandating a Designer.
Atheists live a life of self-deceit – wilful lies that placates a seared conscience (Romans 1:18-32).
Christian America – Perishing in Progressive-Atheist-Secular Humanist Filth: Eschatological Imperative? Biblical Prophecy fulfilled?
Discussion,
Current Federal leadership in America is indicative of and the culmination of 60-years of moral and ethical rot resulting from unrestrained demonic ideological infiltration into the societal mainstream relentlessly attacking the American family; the Christian Church; America’s educational system; America’s youth; this, via Progressive idiocy modeled by the father of modern education, John Dewey; the greatest progenitor of Atheism in World history, Charles Darwin.
America, a Nation founded and ordained by Jesus our Messiah concerning the Gospel and the Great Commission, is, for all intents and purposes, dead on arrival. America’s Constitutional Republic has been hijacked and the sustainable norms, mores, ethics, values, essential for America’s sustainability e.g., Christian values of morality-love for Elohim, our Father-Son-Spirit; love for the Biblical family unit; love for one’s neighbor; true patriotism, a love for America and a fervent desire to serve Her and protect Her; cherished dignity and honor and morality; a strong, indelible, work ethic; an obsessive desire to protect America’s youth and policies focused upon ensuring their success as progenitors of the American dream…these have been eradicated through vile and destructive Progressives – Atheists – Secular Humanists and replaced by an overwhelming hoard of unsustainable citizenry who worship at the throne of the pagan god Molech where child sacrifice, mutilation-burning-torture in the womb is cheered and fought for in the streets of liberal America and in the impotent courts of Progressivism; a hoard of demons in flesh who fight and clamor for unconscionable sexual perversion – homosexuality – lesbianism – transsexualism – pedophilia – medical financial whores who profit by transitioning children from their biological sex to identify as the opposite sex via puberty blockers and unconscionable surgical sexual reassignment; a hoard of demons who worship at the throne of Carl Marx and Vladimir Lenin; a hoard of demons who froth over the invasion of America by Her most prolific enemies through an open and unsecured border; a hoard of demons who virtue signal and dismantle America’s Criminal Justice System and allow hardened criminals to rape, rob, pillage, torture, murder, American citizens; this, with little to no accountability.
The Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ, have walked away from America and America has been left to Her own devices to reap what has been sown by the Atheist – Secular Humanist under the demonic title of Progressive. The god of this World, Satan (2 Corinthians 4:4) is king over America and his servants, the Progressive-Democrat-Liberal-Atheist-Secular Humanist are now pointing the way to Hell and like sheep led to the slaughter, America’s demonically deceived Progressives-Democrats-Atheists-Secular Humanists-Islamist’s-Marxists blindly comply.
Eschatology fulfilled? Where is the United States?
The Holy Spirit has clearly articulated that there is soon to come a coalition comprised of the Nations of Russia-China-Iran/Islam who will engage in a nuclear war with Jerusalem, Israel; this war will preface and initiate the 2nd Advent of Messiah Jesus to Mount Olivet outside the Eastern Gate of the Old City, Jerusalem. This will be a 3.5 years period replete with unconscionable suffering around the World but Jerusalem, Israel will be the focal point of Elohim’s attention as this nuclear conflict will ultimately initiate the Millennial Kingdom of Messiah Jesus. Jesus will be victorious in this soon-to-manifest nuclear war and one very interesting point of eschatological truth is that no relevant Western Power is actively involved as an ally of Israel.
America, where are you in eschatology?
There are suggestions by Eschatologists that a representative from a Western power intercedes only to ask “Have you come to take spoil?” relevant to the presence of the demonic alliance preparing to pounce upon Israel, but this Western peace envoy possesses no authority or military might sufficient to provide any form of military intervention or deterrence; this, indicating that the United States will have been made impotent monetarily, military, morally, ethically, and unable to ally with Israel who will have NO ONE but Jesus our Messiah to intercede for the children of Jacob. THIS IS ELOHIM’S ESCHATOLOGICAL WILL as throughout Israel’s history, Jacob’s children have always looked to an Earthly king or an ally Nation for intercession while Elohim has been essentially an afterthought, but NOT in the Day of our Lord as YESHUA, “The Lion from the Tribe of Judah,” alone, will be victorious (Revelation 5:5) and all of Israel will look upon Him whom they have pierced and they will come to faith in Yeshua and this “Jewish – Israeli remnant” will serve Him in His Millennial Kingdom (Zechariah 12:10; John 19:37).
In conclusion,
Therefore, fellow Christians, do not be dismayed by the demonic forces at work within America via the Progressive – the Secular Humanist – the Marxist – the Atheist as these will all have their place in the Lake of Fire and the “second death” (Revelation 20:11-15). Let the people who honor Jesus our Messiah by faith “look UP for your redemption is drawing NEAR!” (Luke 21:28); therefore, stand fast in the Faith; Fellow Christian, do NOT look to the right or the left but plant firmly your eyes on Jesus our Messiah and endure to the end; know this, we who love and trust in Jesus our Messiah are victors along with Him. MARANATHA!
Why does Elohim appear to answer the prayers of some and reject the prayers of others?
Our Creator ONLY hears the prayers of those who have complied with His will; that is, they have believed in Jesus whom the Father has sent into the World to provide blood atonement and covenant relationship with Him by faith (John 6:29).
The only prayer from the unredeemed, those who have rejected Jesus, that the Father will hear and entertain is a prayer of repentance from sin and a confession of faith-belief in Jesus as Messiah; otherwise, you are on your own!
Those who trust in Jesus, their prayers are heard and always answered with Yes, No, Wait….
James 5:16 The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. Proverbs 1:28 Then they will call on me, but I will not answer; They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me. 29 Because they hated knowledge And did not choose the fear of the LORD,
