Letter To Atheist And Doubters by Fididiguy(m): 7:53am On Oct 01, 2017
Calvary greetings to everybody

Our Father and our God, the I am that Iam, same yesterday, and today and forever, we acknowledge your presence, as we ask You joined us in this teaching and put meaning to our study today, let not our gathering be in vain, instead install in us a believing spirit as we continue to live a purposeful life

Definition of terms; An Atheist today is simply a human being who definitely not a Christian(theism) and do not believe in existence of God or gods, and unlike a Doubter that could be a Christian and at some point be staggering in his faith, and could not hold to his old belief that God is the Creator of the Universe and who hold a close relationship with what He created{Universe}.
Hallelujah.

We shall have our points explained in bulleting forms, so be prepared.

� In the Beginning
The power of beginning can not be over emphasis in explaining any historic situation, synonymously mean origin, every thing in life has origin, a lost man will do all thing possible to find his origin even though it means going back to his remote village. A Black American President knows his origin is in African definitely, and so on.

The most important of finding your origin is to help you know much why you behave the way you behave among other reasons and also to understand your self, the day Moses realized he wasn't an Egyptian, his orientation and believe rapidly change, he suddenly became a rebel to people that he had all his life with and that gave him everything including making him a prince of mighty Egypt, he changed his allegiance as all the persuasion and threat became nothing to him, though he faces challenges, he continues to overcome them one after the other as they makes him stronger and stronger until he is stronger than his challenger-the Egyptian, the Pharaoh himself. hallelujah.

Moses our great example
My question today is, if you find out who you are, the race you belong to, spiritually and physically, will you still continue in your old way?, will you change a bit?, will you be bold enough to ignore the comfort of your luxury among the enemy posing for as your greatest friend ever and embrace your origin with full benefits, even though it look unattractive to you now?, Moses didn't need much persuasion to change his mind, unlike us *atheist* or whatever we are, he embraces the Believing spirit quickly that came for him, as he did not ponder on the message of salvation(doubt) when he received it unlike most of us that have been receiving the message of salvation many years ago but still adamant, and after which he-Moses became a great Prophet of God. Hallelujah
(The story of how Moses became great can be seen in second book of the Bible written by Moses - Exodus, first few chapter of the book)

The Genesis
The Genesis is the first book of the Bible, is also the first book of Moses, written by him, the book tells a lot about us all, our beginning. it's basically a book from which all others story tellers got their idea, it report the origin of man as one which was created with breath of God. Genesis 2:17

2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.2:8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. Genesis

Though many living things were created, only man received direct breath of God, then he-man became superior to other living things, he is wiser and blessed to the extent that he chooses the creatures to live or die basically for foods, sacrifice among other reasons, even to the beast among the animals. He continues to increase and occupy the land. Hallelujah

The Man and his God
Many things are responsible for our state of being an Atheist or Doubters, most prominent of it is *Science*, Science tends to be natural and based on fact seen, and limited by knowledge, if it's not proven and re-proven it's not science, Science is just science and its not opposite of being Godly or religious, when Adam was driven out of Garden and was cursed to fetch for himself and his immediate family, he definitely need bit of science and hard work to make a means for his families, that he will have to study his new environment and develop tools for farming-an act of science, doesn't make him a lesser believers in the God that was his mentor.

From that very moment he was droved out of the Garden. *four things* continue to grow, Man continues to grow in population, science continue to grow to make life better for increasing man outside the garden of Eden, Satan another spirit being, continue in his work to make man continue in his disobedience to Creator-God, and lastly God continue to show love to us-man, promising he will bring us back to Him.
He continues to prove to us that He is alive, and devil continue to make us see and think otherwise using all means enticing to man, and except we have *Faith*, Satan side seems to be attractive to many, and it’s certain these four activities will continue until the end-the Judgement day.
Though, it's a reported prophecy in the Bible that our love will become wax or cold as a sign the end is near, tribulation of Christians everywhere, but still the message of Christ will be preached in all nation and corners of the world, and God will continue to protect His people. Devil will continue to go after the heart of man, and God will continue to show His love.

� God and gods
Some people believed been religious is a personal things and should be hidden. No, it shouldn't be, it should be preached as commanded by God, it should be taught in schools and in communities. The fact that there is God and gods is one good thing that if people are taught some things, they will believe and find the true way, one of the major reason we have Atheist common today is because some of the Atheist are confused as to which is true God, many religion Institutions laying claims to true God, these they see and the next they say am out, though to us it's nothing, hmm.

Let me make a profound claim today, the present of true God is the reason for many false gods, a Satan way to make people more confused, remember confusion is one of the great tool Satan uses against us in Faith. God created heaven and earth with *Word*, devil and his cohort uses word in incantation and curses to affect human lives, devil has entered God temple trying to infiltrate the Church and imitate the true practices, as he wished to forever block some people from accessing the true love, if you see true love, definitely you will recognize it I guess, reason why you see Herbalist posing as Pastor nowadays. With hatred he threatening the spreading of Gospel to nations of the world, some country even declared zero tolerance for Christian gathering but legalize prostitution. The big question is, are you confused?. If you are, venture into Christian and choose a Bible based church to worship, with help of God your story will change as you discovered your purpose on earth.

A man of God once revealed what God told him, he said God told him that there is nothing He God can give him that Satan cannot give him, that is left for him to decide from whom he want his help, God grace is abound He gave according to what our capacity can carry, but devil target people with higher grace, sometimes when I see people with unfamiliar spirit, it's definitely devils works to take them off their assignment on earth.
Re: Letter To Atheist And Doubters by Fididiguy(m): 8:04am On Oct 01, 2017
Definitely there is God Mr Atheist, though He operate in a different way to how you think He should for you to believe, you want everything to be physical and evidently proven, for example let him drop money from heaven right here while am standing and I will believe him. Yeah! he can drop it, may be not your own way or the way you proposed. Firstly, he is God and knows what is best for you and the right time to release it to you, what you are asking for is what is the reason for some people downfall, nevertheless He remember all and want you to have faith.


� Man, Animal and Animalism
Another conspiracy against our faith in God is that man evolve from animal, possibly monkey family in an evolution that span over several centuries of years as suggested by erudite in science or any related studies, thanks to Atheist beliefs in Science’s theory and ignorant claims based on resemblance of man and monkey, this is contrary to theism belief of God the creator of the universe.

When First man ate forbidden fruit, it gives room to wrong spirit, then the need for man to be redeemed, God promised Messiah, Messiah came in Jesus, He is to foster Man-God relation the more and gives access unlimited, He lives an example and left, gave us a Spirit, Holy-Spirit as gift as he leave, faith in God will be spread though Gospel He command us to involve which we must.
One good things Christ and Gospel does to us is lifting us from stage of animalism to conform with Divine being, we were made of spirit and body carcass, if our spirit leave us in second without returning we are pronounced dead, so the most important of *us* is our breath, our spirit.
Things of God are divine, Adams and Eve are special until devil defiled them, and man is exposed to spirit of animalism, the right spirit is not in him. When we are occupy by this spirit, we are even worse than animals, then we can be ruthless, God forbid. It became worse when a ruler is occupy by this spirit, Hitler and Co, are perfect example. Fear grip you when you suddenly hear somebody you know is into ritualism or a rapist and some other vices like that, this is only time you can compare man life with that of animal not that man evolve from animal blabla. I don't expect this to be hard for you to believe. Don’t be deceived.

� The Effect of Christ to the World
The effect of Christ to the world is remarkably great, though He came the world, and they did not know Him, some are diligent to know Him, but to some it's opposite. Let look further:

#to some, He Jesus is exaggerated,
#He is like any other gods, local to Hebrews or Jews nation and ignorantly adopted by Western world, and now they call His bluff,. hnm.
#African and third. World countries adopting old belief and reason for their present economic downfall and so on.
#Christians worshipping dead god, and so on.

Now to answer your inquest, Jesus was not exaggerated nor underrated, He is God with us(Emmanuel), first chapter of book of John explicitly explained who Jesus is, through His birth we see a rarest of humbleness, still He became the most popular man ever Liveth, not because He was able to tour the World at one point or the other, or because he was birthed into Royal family on earth, say present England Queen family or old Pharaoh family, he was just a Carpenter by profession, crucified to die at age 33, my brother this is evident you have been looking for, as this represent hand of God.
Secondly, He was not wrongly adopted by Western, because when He Jesus speaks, authority follows, when He asked His Disciple to preached the gospel to tribes and to the rest of the world, authority follow that command and so it's, and it's time you believe that whether devil like it or not Gospel will reach every corner of the world as command by Jesus, though you boldly say you are an Atheist, as you claim it's new trends, don't be deceived Jesus rhetorically asked, when I comes will son of man still meet faith on earth? Jesus knows at some point or time, world will be crazy for Him and they will went cold for something else at another time,-atheism. It is prophecy.
(18:8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? Luke).

Again, *Old belief*, Old belief? Don't be deceived, Jesus is same yesterday, today and forever. The fact above is coined in the fact that Jesus and the Word of God do not change with time, human changes, Bible the written word of God doesn't need an upgrade, it's divinely design to meet the needs of all human, generation to generation, races irrespective. Hallelujah.
Furthermore, the belief that African addiction to religion is reason for her woes is sarcastically or ironically expressed, my argument is this, did Western world not developed with addiction to Christ at some point and entirely religious?, kind of Theocracy Government. Please do not fall for this inconsequential excuse, my fear is such that if Africa got it right today will they not forsake their God, remember money is good, it's also the root of all kinds of evil, hmm, am I embracing poverty?, no but rich man or nation in faith knows what to do with their riches.

And lastly in this categories, Christian worshipping dead God is false, if you won't believe the claims about Jesus resurrection in New Testament, it will be my pleasure if you can talk to one or two faithful individual who have had encounter with Him, also visit a living church to listen to testimonies, it help in growing faith in living God.

� SIM to the phone, JESUS to the world
What a worthless a phone without SIM will be! What a worthless our world without Jesus! Let me explain, first thing you probably do after you buy your expensive phone is to insert a SIM right? Yes possible, because your phone can't work on its own optimally, you agreed?, somebody say it can still perform some function or functions, like using it to play game among other functions without SIM, hmm, and that is the point! Limited in function because the real deal is absent, when we exclude Jesus out of the thing of our World we have limited ability and at that point little to offer.

The most pathetic of a phone without SIM is when you misplaced it, how will it be traced? Yeah! SIM got your back, in case you had no SIM inside of it when you lost it, big issue you guess, you think that is stupidity?, why on earth will I have a phone without SIM inside at any point in time?, it's suicidal, and vulnerable you guess?, but yet the SIM is small, cheap or free but very important. It looks after all, SIM is the life of the phone irrespective of the brand of phone we buy.

Just like SIM card is to the phone, so is Jesus to the world and Holy Spirit to our soul, He protect us, guide us, our medium of communication to God, empower and make us function well among other functions.
Furthermore, a Phone with permanent damage SIM port will be lost forever unless the particular part is replaced before loosing it, lost phone without SIM will be lost forever, this tell us there is hope for phone lost with SIM inside. If Lose is death which can happen without prior notice and our life is Phone and Jesus is the SIM, how will you like your phone to always be, without SIM always?(atheism), SIM today, without SIM tomorrow(doubter), or always wearing a SIM( A true Christian). the choice is always yours. As death is inevitable.

� How the Gospel spread
The story of how the Gospel spread is in conjunction with the story of how civilization spread into most part of the world for some countries, Africa inclusive. The colonial idea is catch them, cage them and preach to them asides slavery, hnm.
This ain't bad idea the oyinbo must have thought, considering the stage the world is as at that moment, the colonial era. Education and Military activities were deployed to change orientation, then it was a global leaders objectives, the likes of African and Asian and the rest have to found the new God they vow, they have to quickly forsake their gods. The white thought their new found colony served false gods and are barbaric, in truth they are, things were slowly put in place, language barrier were corrected and Bible became readable to all, it's sweet, local church grows so quickly, and in short time people switch allegiance, and the rest is history.

Were they right to spread the Gospel using force and military?, definitely NO! Should they be given all the glory! Still NO, all the glory belong to God. God really is the real Planner, the Gospel would have spread if the colonial masters had not included it in their program, remember how Jesus warned people in the Bible:

( Luke 19:40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. Luke)

Now that the colonial masters has stopped spreading the Gospel but the Gospel continue to grow, who do you think really deserved the glory, the Whites, the newly emerging Christians or old Christians, or God?, definitely God, now that the Gospel was daily preached to the Western that gave all too spread it then, do you still think it's still their sole program, no! God can use anybody as He wishes.
Re: Letter To Atheist And Doubters by Fididiguy(m): 8:10am On Oct 01, 2017
Though Satan is determine to interrupt us on assignment God assigned to us, some of us are also determined to carry it out irrespective, while some fell on their way to carry out the assignment. if a particular set of people decided not to carry out God given assignment, God uses another sets without delay, today many Great Men of God has sprung up in African and in Asia preaching in Arab and in Western countries, that is definitely God's hands, it's surprising because devil has hardened your heart never to believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the world.

Mr Atheist today, Satan might want you to believe every thing about religion is lie and false, a conspiracy! the devil called it for you, no it's not, when the people on earth had nothing, they still had God. God will continue to be with His people, He had promised, the next heading will say further about this.

� The Barbaric World without Jesus Christ

Definitely no one can say how the World could have been if it has not tested the important Jesus effect, but for sure with the help of history reading, we know it wasn't so fair to be on earth before Jesus came. How did I mean, why is it so important? So important that date is generally categorized AD and BC in history descriptions especially those that span over many decades, BC means before Christ, while AD means anno Domini referring to 'In the year of or Lord Jesus Christ'.

Jesus Christ affect our lives in all facets, just imagine any area you think He didn't and I will instantly prove you wrong. Definitely earth was very rugged to live in, that is why Bible told us *'The Rest place is Heaven'*, a real faithful understand this but non faithful didn't and continue to daily ask question that can confused him or her the more. They resolved to believe something is wrong somewhere, but can't fathom or understand why something is happening the way it's, they think nature dictate all, they are hopeless, some think a sophisticated World War is capable of destroying the World and within a blink of an eye, World could just fall flat like that, like a building without pillars, as if we don't have God. They put all hope in human but human continue to disappoint, yet they think our paradise is here.

Mostly prominent of human ignorant is the belief that moral is superior to been religious, all because they have seen it all in religion, a diluted religion they have seen, they refuse to do it the way of God yet they complain He had forsaken them, moral is good, but what is good of a beautiful car without an engine, all they seek is freedom, freedom to do all they want within some scope, in as much they are not contradicting the Law, they forgot if devil can infiltrate the Church slowly and easily nothing is safe, now their freedom is daily turning to something else, gayism, nudity, fascism and so on are slogging in and been legalize on a daily basis. It's worrisome but at least it's freedom and not cumbersome unlike religion, they say.

� If you happen to be God

If you happen to be God over one thing, I mean one thing, let me choose for you now, say Pet, hnm. Why this question?, the reason for this question is because you have laced your atheism condition with a conclusion that God concept is wrong and unfair in handling human He created, even though you have been told without numbers that God operate with knowledge far above human. Satan still can't allow you to hold a belief.

Now you are a human, you can't create another of your self, let assume, but let say you can create a Pet. Though you suggest God could have had everything prepared for us to benefit without issue of Apple a thing inside the garden of Eden included.

As a child we won't mind what a kind of pet we have around, animal or dummies, I know, but as an adult we shall be definitely be crazy for an intelligent animal-pet, definitely our choice if we were given opportunity to produce our own pet, and as an adult nobody want a dummy pet for sure, we want a bigger intelligent one, dog or cat, Richer among us want a super intelligent one, wild and scarce, some will go for baby lion or cheetah. You cater for them like real child, and so on, if you have them many, your favorite among them will be the most intelligent, because it understand you the more and possibly because the animal likes your families member too, possibly your little children or the pet is your little child favorite.

Though this might not represent the best of God to man relationship, I was only making an illustration, a defiant and intelligent Adam and Eve God would have wished Adam and Eve were, on the day devil visit them inside the garden. My brother, how intelligent are you when devil call on you plus how have you been handling Satan's suggestions?, how does your Master, Creator want you to be against what you are today? Remember it's always your choice. It won't be interesting to God, if he had created you to be mute or dummies, though he created some stuff like that, a mountain will be mountain for life no hope, but God intentionally created you to be great, super intelligent and want you to prove it, promising you a bigger unimaginable reward, but yet you can not understand, you think a precious stone is worthy than you, undermining your great-self, has He not done you a favor?, it's time you retrace your steps, know who you are today, take a bold step to faith through repentance, and take a step that add meaning to your life. Hallelujah.

� Mr Atheist and Doubter today

Yeah, who knows may be am here because of you, may be I was sent to you, may be my persistence to you is Divine assignment, may be your salvation is today. The power of change has made condition of a man inconsequential to me, it has taught me a great deal in my faith in God, an Atheist this morning can be a prophet before night fall, our God is awesome, Apostle Paul is our great example, his divine transformation from atheist Saul to an Apostle Paul is remarkably great, we have seen in celebrity conversion around us too not to mention some names. My point, my fear is just that, will you not hardened your heart when the light of salvation shine on you, will you be ready to leave your territory of Free-thinker. Bible make us understand the choice is always ours, check out these Bible verses;

119:30 I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid before me. Psalm

34:4 Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what is good. Job

25:12 What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose. Psalm

30:15 See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; Deuteronomy

Just to mention few.
Re: Letter To Atheist And Doubters by Fididiguy(m): 8:13am On Oct 01, 2017
My plead to you is for you to embrace the gospel of salvation as presented to you today, it might not come bigger than this. There is always that day of Salvation, a day to retrace our step and make a bigger but simple decision, next is to change our company of people if possible, go for baptism and participate in church activities and watch our steps.

*For Doubters* aka Thomas, you have dinned with Christ but staggering in your faith, you had vow in the past to remain faithful but you have problem holding to your faith, circumstance and things of the world is waving you up and down, though Bible said you can't be here and there in faith, it sum up to vain, waste of energy, let see what Bible say against this, the divine condemnation for Doubter;

1:6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.1:7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.1:8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. James

All is good for a man until he doubt, those who will be great will have to stayed focus, the permanent solution to doubting is having faith, the core value of faith was best explained in Hebrews chapter 11 notorious verse is verse 6.

11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Hebrews

So reconsider your step when you are tempted to doubt God. Other way out of doubting is reading Bible, be prayerful, keep company of godly people among other things.

Shalom as we bring the study to an end.

The study is long but it worth sharing, it's our responsibility to keep the world informed always the message of Salvation...hallelujah
