What about work without faith? What about someone who works and does not believe in your god?

Job 2
24. For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters.
25. For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.
26. I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.

Roman 8
35. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or unclothedness, or peril, or sword?
36. As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39. Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Absolutely fine, brother. You see, that you're an unbeliever doesn't cuts you off from God's blessings, since "He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust" (Matthew 5:45).

Understand that God is a rewarder of good deeds. He says man must sweat for his food (Genesis 3:19) and forbade bread to a lazy man (2 Thessalonians 3:10).

So here's the point. As long as you go out there to work for your daily bread, whether you believe in God or not, your blessings is sure! Why? Because you've done what is required of you!

However, as a believer, it is impossible to please God without faith, since he who comes to Him must believe that He exist (Hebrews 11:6). It is this faith that is atheists stumbling block.

hahn:


Yippee! No need for your god then. You have just proven your god is useless and unnecessary



Lol. Not only atheists bro. Do not forget everyone who does not believe in your version of sky daddy which includes muslims, buddhists, scientologists, etc.

But it's all good. Your god is still useless and unnecessary

Splinz:


On the contrary, dear brother. I've proven that God shows no favoritism but blesses every good deed.

This God who created ALL THINGS and by His will they exist and were created, is certainly worthy to receive glory and honor (Rev 4:11). Now, where you as His creation thinks otherwise and decides not to give Him glory, then I can't sit in judgement over such a decision, since He who created all things also said He will judge all and convict them of all their ungodly acts (Jude 1:15).

So bro, I hands off this matter.

hahn:


Actually, god shows favoritism and that is why it is god of Israel and not god of Africa. That is why it could kill women and children in Sodom and Gommorrah and not punish Lot for sleeping with his daughters etc. Read your bible for more stories



Blah blah blah. If you decide to be a slave. Fine. Dragging me into it is an outright arrogant display of ignorance.



Use your brain bro. It is not there for decoration

[size=18pt] Use your brain[/size] bro. It is not there for decoration

Splinz:


You're beginning to get cocky, and I may not dignify you with a response again.

Telling me to use my brain is an insult taken too far, since in all ramification, you're the least qualified person for me to seek advice.

You have your beliefs and express same, I also do same. I never cursed nor abuse you for believing whatever suits your belly, but simply expressed my own views which you're at liberty to accept or civilly ignored.

So bro, you don't go about using derogatory statement on people simply because they don't subscribe to your own belief system. It speaks of immaturity, insecurity and intolerance.
