Atheistic obfuscation: “There is simply insufficient evidence for me to believe in God.” Is this true?

A Christian response…

Atheism is a ruse – a lie of the Devil. There are no true atheists but only those who deny what they intuitively know to be Truth i.e. our Creator and His reality because the “unbeliever” seeks to defer-negate a guilty conscience and pursue their aberrant lust, narcissism, moral relativism, void the moral law of God written upon their heart at conception which convicts them of their immorality as they love their genitalia more than Truth and moral absolutes (Romans 1:18-32).

“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

1) Nature

2) The Incarnation of God in Time

3) The Written Covenant between God and Mankind

1) Empirical – Preliminary – Substantive – Observable Evidence = Nature

The Universe, encompassing the Sun-Moon-Stars-Earth, descending downward to the complex human genome (life), all provide empirical, preliminary, substantive, observable, evidence for design in Nature and therefore mandate a Designer (Isaiah 66:1; Acts 7:49).

The Holy Spirit has clearly articulated that anyone who denies these empirical, supernatural, inexplicable, forms of Nature as testimony relevant to our Creator’s validity will be “without excuse” when they stand in the Judgment before Jesus Christ-Yeshua in Eternity (Romans 1:18-32; Revelation 20:11-15). It is the preliminary evidence of Nature that confronts mankind daily/nightly and is so designed as to draw all men and women to seek knowledge of God and find life in His Name, Jesus Christ-Yeshua.

God has so uniquely created and ordained Nature as testimony and evidence relevant to Himself that He has nullified mankind’s ability to define origin of matter or understand the supernatural Universe He has placed before us (Ecclesiastes 3:11). Origin of matter will, until the end of Time, remain a mystery to mankind as man is cognitively constrained by Time and The Curse; all that is visible and invisible to the human eye in Nature was established, created, by elements from the invisible Spiritual World; therefore, the genesis of our Creation will forever remain an enigma, a mystery, to the mind of man. Anyone seeking Truth, void a personal bias against the validity of our Creator, can easily apprehend and discern the supernatural design of creation mandating a supernatural Creator.

“By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible.” Hebrews 11:3 (NASB)

“He has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also set eternity in their heart, yet so that man will not find out the work which God has done from the beginning even to the end.” Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NASB)

There exists no greater or more popular historical figure than Jesus Christ-Yeshua. The Atheist who rejects the historicity of Jesus simply rejects the overwhelming evidence for His validity readily accessible-available in Biblical and extra-Biblical as well as non-Christian, archeological, sources.

Our Creator did not leave His Human creation to wonder or ponder about the one-true-God and His Plan and purposes for Time and Eternity, but God left the Spiritual Realm some 2019-years ago, He divided history, and entered the Realm of Time in the flesh through a virgin birth that was essential to establish Him as Messiah who would selflessly give Himself to save mankind from death in sin and death in Hell (Philippians 2:5-11; Matthew 1:23).

During the 33.5-years of His Earthly sojourn, Jesus fulfilled over 300-Messianic prophecies as articulated in the Covenant of Law extending from the Genesis to The Book of Malachi. The statistical chances of

1 person fulfilling 8 prophecies: 1 in 100,000,000,000,000,000;

1 person fulfilling 48 prophecies: 1 chance in 10 to the 157th power;

1 person fulfilling 300+ prophecies: Only Jesus!

In the Gospel of John, Chapter 14 v. 6, Jesus *said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.”

Anyone contemplating the Deity of Jesus Christ in light of the previous Scripture (John 14:6) must come to ONE of only three-conclusions concerning Jesus Christ. Jesus is either a…

1. liar.

2. lunatic.

3. Lord

Every human being born subsequent to 33-AD and having attained an age of reason with sufficient cognitive acuity to discern the moral law as written upon our heart by our Creator (Romans 2:15) will have to choose between these three-options seeing that their eternal destiny will depend solely upon which option they choose.

God the Father has not only provided Nature/the Universe and the Son, Jesus Christ-Yeshua as testimony of His validity, power, dominion, but God has also provided a written “Covenant of Grace” (Matthew 26:28) to His human creation through the Holy Spirit. God the Holy Spirit meticulously, supernaturally, moved through the inner-man of 40-men of antiquity, holy men set-apart specifically for the purpose of penning on parchment the Plan and purposes of our Creator; a journey of 1400-to-1600-years, three-continents, three-languages, explaining in detail our origin, our purpose and meaning, God’s moral law and God’s Plan for the destiny of Time and Eternity.

For those who scoff at the integrity of God’s written word and thereby call the Holy Spirit a liar, understand that the very same Creator who initiated visible matter from the unseen Spiritual World and used same to create this vast supernatural Universe and gave you the breath of life, this very same Creator is abundantly capable and qualified to provide you and provide me with the EXACT words He desires we have so that we can know Him, His Plan and purposes for Time and our individual lives. Irrespective of councils of men and theologians, critics, scholars, all of the efforts of men concerning advocating for or disparaging the Holy Scriptures, know that the Bible remains the best-selling Book in History and that God’s word will NEVER fade away (Matthew 24:35).

Our Creator has provided Human KIND with three-undeniable-forms of evidence relevant to His validity, reality, power, dominion, Deity…

1) Nature.

2) Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Living Word of God.

3) A written covenant, the Holy Scriptures.

Anyone who desires to know God intimately, personally, will find Him and enter into a relationship with Him if they will seek Him with their whole heart…He will be found by them (Jeremiah 29:11-13). God will NOT entertain or commune with a heart that does not truly desire to know Him but He is faithful to make His abode with anyone willing to come to Him in faith and believe that He is true.

“But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” Hebrews 11:6 (NKJV)

Atheist logic – Christian Response: “What do you know? How do you know it? These two questions form the foundation of scientific inquiry. They have worked well in creating the world that we live in today. Now, let’s apply them to Christianity? What do Christians know? Do Christians know that Jesus is the Son of God? No. Do they know that heaven or hell exists? No. Do they know that Jesus answers prayers? No. Do they know that the Devil is more than a literary character? No. Do they know that Jesus is coming back one day? No. How do you know? Do Christians know what has been written about Jesus in the Bible is factually true? No. Bottom line: Christians don’t know anything. They have faith, but faith is not a virtue!”

Christian response…

I knew very little concerning our Creator, origin, meaning, morality, our destiny, until subsequent an initial read of the Covenant of Grace as provided by the Holy Spirit in the New Testament of the Holy Scriptures. During that initial read, a transformation manifest in my life – a transformation that human words cannot adequately express but this I do know, though I was blind and ignorant of God and His will, now, by the power and tutelage of the indwelling Holy Spirit, I understand God, I know Him personally and I am assured of who, what, where, when, why and how, concerning our origin, meaning of life, morality, destiny; pure and assured knowledge of these mysteries is only possible by entering into a personal relationship with God the Father by grace (unmerited favor) through faith (believing-trusting) in Jesus Christ as Lord and thereby receiving the indwelling Holy Spirit who walks you, daily, in the process of sanctification and teaches you about all things concerning this life constrained by Time and the life to come in Eternity.

Premise concerning Atheism posited on FB: “The REAL reason why atheists want to argue all the time, they distract us from doing what we were told to do.” (Referencing the Great Commission)

A Christian response…

The real reason atheists argue with Christians is due to their beleaguered conscience and the truism that the atheist knows their ideology is a myth-a lie rooted in the demonic as atheism is a ruse/obfuscation for the sexually perverse, the moral relativist, the nihilist, naturalist, the baby mutilator-abortionist advocate, seeking to temper a guilty conscience while intuitively knowing that our Creator exists and that He has dominion and authority over the self-deceived atheist (Romans 1:18-32).

Atheists are tragically crippled psychologically, spiritually, so know that when you communicate as a Christian with an atheist, you’re dealing with an emissary of Satan as well as an untenable psychosis that is rooted in the demonic as the atheist is spiritually-dead and existing without hope.

Atheistic inquiry: “Why is it always the African Christians that are the most brainwashed?”

Response to the atheist…

Because the African Christian’s have been overwhelming proselytized via Pentecostalism-Charismata which is a fanatical, pagan, cultic, aberration of true Christianity teaching the false doctrine of speaking in an unknown tongue (ecstatic utterances) and insisting that one cannot be saved without speaking in tongues; this, while also promulgating a false gospel generally referred to as the “Health-Wealth-Prosperity Gospel” or the “Name-it-and-claim-it-Gospel” where one is taught the heresy that our words command power and we have the authority as mere men to dictate to God what we want, when we want it and how we want it. In this false gospel, God the Father is likened to a heavenly Santa Clause who is beholden to mankind and must attend to man’s wants and desires. It’s all demonically oriented and initiated.

It is the simplicity of the Gospel of Jesus Christ that points mankind to life with God the Father by grace through faith in Jesus, alone. It is only by repenting of sin and believing-trusting in Jesus Christ as Lord for the mediation of sin that one finds forgiveness of sin and life in Eternity (John 3:16; John 14:6).

Atheist logic: “Believing the bible makes you a Christian. Comprehending it makes you an atheist…”

Response to the atheist…

That is a lie of the Devil who is the spiritual father of the atheist. I know from experiential relevance that my first read through the New Testament some 27-years ago radically changed my life forever as I was convinced that Jesus Christ-Yeshua is God who died to pay my sin-debt (2 Timothy 2:15; 2 Timothy 3:15).

Discussion…

The reason the atheist does not comprehend the Scriptures is due to a deceived heart that does not desire to believe (Hebrews 11:6) because the atheist is either blinded by their spiritual father, Satan (2 Corinthians 4:4), or they are completely engrossed, obsessed, with their life of sexual perversion, debauchery, narcissism, hedonism, rebellion, that they make them self a dishonest doubter (Ephesians 2:1-10) – or – the atheist has existed and persisted for so long as an enemy of God and an emissary of Satan that the Holy Spirit has given said atheist over to believe “the lie” and internalize a “debased” or “depraved” mind and their journey to spiritual truth and life with God the Father in Eternity is in desperate peril (Romans 1:18-32). The longer the atheist lives in rebellion-rejection to God’s Truth, the more distant is the pathway to life in Eternity by grace through faith in Jesus Christ as Lord as the Holy Spirit’s call upon one’s life grows increasingly faint with each passing day lived in atheistic foolishness (Ephesians 4:17-19).

Conclusion...

The Holy Spirit has clearly articulated the truism that the atheist-nihilist-naturalist-moral relativist is a “fool” – a liar – “without excuse” (Romans 1:18-32). There is nothing more that need be said about the subject of depravity, self-deception, futility and death that is “atheism.” There is nothing honorable or sustainable about a life lived in atheism – it’s an existence that culminates in death in sin as well as futility and meaninglessness in Eternity (John 8:24; Matthew 16:26)

Truth…

“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

Rational and theological question – a reminder to the faithful in Jesus Christ: “Why tell this lost and dying World about the sacrifice of Jesus Christ when our Lord has clearly articulated the truism that “many” will choose to die in their sin and die in Hell? Why care and endeavor to speak Truth to those who are volitionally blind, deaf, dumb, concerning spiritual Truth?”

Jesus Christ said…

“Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.” Matthew 7:13-14 (NASB)

Discussion…

It matters not that an overwhelming number of human-kind have and will choose to die in sin and Hell by rejecting the grace and mercy of God the Father via the Son, Jesus Christ, who suffered and died to pay the sin-debt of mankind and offer all men and women a pardon from death in Hell by believing that Jesus is God who died to pay their sin-debt (Romans 10:9-10; John 3:36). What does matter and that which is most relevant is the Christian’s obedience to God’s command to go and tell and warn.

Jesus commanded…

And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-19 (NASB)

The Apostle Paul admonishes the faithful…

“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord.” 1 Corinthians 15:58 (NASB)

For the Christian, it’s important to remember that we’re in the midst of a pervasive spiritual war that was initiated in Eternity before the creation of Time and placed upon the Earth to be dealt with here apart from the Kingdom (Genesis 3:14-15); therefore, it is most relevant that we understand the truism that every person born into Time has been given a unique opportunity to come along side our Creator and ally with Him as a faithful soldier in this cosmic war between good v. evil, righteousness v. iniquity, Truth v. the lie.

It is important to remember that the atheist-nihilist-moral relativist has been deceived, captured by an enemy possessing great cunning and influence and he has used man’s base-nature to deceive and capture the hearts and minds of countless billions over the previous 6000-years of mankind’s existence in Time; therefore, continue to shout Light and Truth into the darkness and stand boldly for the merciful and gracious God who gave His all so that we could live with Him forever!
