Purpose is a critical element in the survival of the species.. it can be argued that though Animals do not have Souls... they have Purpose (even though it is a myopic one). Christians deem the ultimate purpose in Life is to Worship God infinitely in eternity. all our striving to understand ourselves in perfecting this purpose ultimately ends in the placid scenario stated above.

Christians often argue that to belief in "nothing" (as they crudely label atheists) is to not have a Purpose in Life as it were. aimless, blissfully ignorant and tirelessly foolish in our sense of reason.. fortunately the tome of Christianity i.e The Holy Bible, prescribes LOVE for all regardless of the race, culture, religion, beliefs etc.. it is one Commandment that a visible Majority of Christians fail to understand or blissfully ignore when it comes to Religion... they FAIL so horribly at this i often wonder how they arrogantly place themselves on the train to Heaven.

Do you know what heaven or worship is?

Classic example of a hypocritical Christian.. do you think i was born an atheist.? I am sure if you are asked to explain Heaven and Worship you will pack up your brains and run away from this thread. This is a clear example of what a True Christian should not be. Proud, Unintelligent, Ignorant, Poor Knowledge of the Word of God and Hateful of others who do not subscribe to his myopic understanding of the Bible.

Look at what Paul the chief of sinners( 1 Timothy 1:15) told the greek philosophers and idol worshipers in thesalonica, because they humbled themselves to listen to him.

And we also thank God continually because,when you received the word of God,which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men,BUT AS IT ACTUALLY IS THE WORD OF GOD WHICH IS AT WORK IN YOU WHO BELIEVE. ( 1 Thessalonians 2:13).

But the sinner is too imperfect, filled with doubt and faulted senses and weak to his sinful instincts, how then is this sinner fit to spread the perfect news?!

The issue is too bare to ignore.

good evening ma'am.

God has made us fit. He has changed our natures. He has made us righteousness.

2 Corinthians 5:20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

Rather, the issue is about God working in us and through us,though our frailty.

The Holy Spirit inspires us.

And if I witness you sinning, that alone is sufficient to condemn you as a sinner.

Here's another lame excuse skeptics give:

"If I were God, I'd hate to have you people speaking on my behalf."

We do our best, but we are fully aware that "God has chosen the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe" (see 1 Corinthians 1:21). He chose the weak vessels of human beings to take the message of everlasting life to weak and dying human beings.

Someone Said: "Galileo was censured by the church, and he's far from the only example. When the church would claim dominion over that which rightfully belongs to science, then atheists have every right to be angry at it for preventing human advancement. Would we have ever landed on the moon if the church had kept convincing everyone the Earth was flat?"

Galileo wasn't an atheist. When the Roman Catholic church confined him to house arrest he protested, “I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.” Also, almost everyone (including scientists) believed that the earth was flat (except theist, Christopher Columbus and some others). And don’t forget that the men who landed on the moon read Genesis chapter one from space, and just before the landing they took communion and thanked God for sending a Savior. The president of American Atheists, Inc., at the time tried to sue NASA for reading their reading of the Bible, but it was thrown out of court. - Ray.

Someone Said: "We don’t know how we came here, but let's study and try to find out and not to give a simple answer like 'God.’"

Atheists may not like God being the answer to that question. But that’s like saying, “We don't know what two plus two adds up to, so let's not give a simple answer like ‘four.’"

How is God's mercy shown?
Re: How To Become An Atheist by OLAADEGBU(m): 11:57am On Nov 19, 2013
Kay 17:

How is God's mercy shown?

God's grace is receiving what we don't deserve and God's mercy is not receiving what we deserve.

God is righteous and has justly sentenced man to death, so that we received the punishment we deserve. However, God exercised grace because of His love for us and took that punishment upon Himself as the payment for our sin.

God took pleasure in all of His creation (Revelation 4:11), but He loved people most of all. He uses the deterioration of the created universe to show us the consequence of our sin. If we did not experience the consequences of our rebellion against our Creator, we would never understand that we need salvation from our sin, and we would never receive His offer of mercy for our sin.

Most people easily recognise that there is a problem in the world. We need to realise that there is One who has overcome this problem of death and suffering, and this Person is Jesus Christ. AiG.

Questions and objections:

"Ray. I feel sorry for you that you think your God of infinite love and wisdom could be so narrow-minded as to condemn two consenting adults to death for getting married. Your God seems to mirror your beliefs so perfectly always. That's convenient." Leonie Trent

Thank you for your sorrow. But I don't need it. You should rather have sorrow for yourself and others who are unsaved. God has condemned all of humanity to death and damnation (not just homosexuals). Perhaps you have noticed that ten out of ten die. But because He is rich in mercy He will grant everlasting life to all who repent and trust alone in Jesus. See www.needGod.com for details.

Someone Said: "The creator of the Internet, a homosexual, and Bill Gates, who gave away billions to help humanity, and the creator of Facebook, and another atheists...are all going to Hell?"

Ray Answers: Being rich or inventing something doesn’t mean that you get an automatic pass if you violate criminal law. Anyone who has violated God’s Law (the Ten Commandments) will end up in Hell, irrespective of how rich they are or what they've invented. By the way, Bill Gates is not an atheist.

Thank God that you said that you're no atheist, because they don't exist. Atheists are those who are certain in their belief that there is no God. As for Bill Gates he isn't sure if there is a God and that makes him agnostic.
