The Bible warns, "Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals…will inherit the kingdom of God" (1 Corinthians 6:9-10).

It's important to note that "idolaters" seems to be the odd one out. Idolatry (making up a false god) is strangely in a list of what God considers to be sexual sins--fornication, adultery and homosexuality.

But it's there because when we make up a false god, it doesn't tell us what is right or wrong. When we create a god in our image (whether it's an idol made of wood or stone or if we make up an image of God in our minds), that idol doesn't speak, and anything therefore becomes morally permissible--whether it's fornication, adultery, or homosexuality. Idolatry is the doorway to immorality.

"Why do Christian women still have period pains and childbirth pains if Jesus died for their sins?"

Christians will be under the Genesis curse right up until the time when God removes it from creation. When Jesus suffered and died for our sins, He purchased our redemption. When God's Kingdom comes to this earth and God's will is done on this earth as it is in Heaven, we will take custody of the purchased possession.

"The biggest loser is he who lives in fear of an imaginary punishment and in hope of an imaginary reward, instead of appreciating that this is the only life we have."

You are convinced that this one life is the only life we have. You no doubt have based this on the knowledge that when someone dies it's all over because there is no life in the body.

This is simply because the life has left the body. There is no brain activity because it is the life that gives the brain its activity.

"God murdered millions."

God never "murders" anyone. He is a righteous Judge, and you have been given the death sentence (along with every other human being). However, He's rich in mercy and offers you a reprieve. Take it or leave it--life or death, Heaven or Hell.

As an atheist, God didn't give them AIDS because He doesn't exist. Always keep that in mind when you blame Him for things when you don't believe He exists. If He did commit the crimes you accuse Him of, then He exists and you have to face him on Judgment Day.

"I don't know how anyone can tell me with a straight face that an all-forgiving, all-loving, compassionate God would condemn anyone to eternal pain and agony in the bowels of Hell for eternity just for the actions of a mere 90 years on this planet."

The Bible doesn't say that God is all-forgiving and all-loving. You are creating an "idol"--making up a false god in your mind. God is holy and just as well as loving and merciful.

His love is seen in that He gave you the gift of life. His mercy is seen in allowing you to sin against Him. But if you refuse to repent and end up dying in your sins, He will give you absolute justice, and that's a fearful thing.

Damnation means forever being damned from all the pleasures He lavished upon you, for which you were so unthankful.

Well, in what other way do you expect God's Holy Spirit to warn you that you've been fighting an unjust course? Number 22:12, 26-31

"Isaiah 7:14: 'Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.' Christians say that this verse is a prophecy of Jesus' birth to a virgin. Virgin in this verse is a mistranslation of the Hebrew word almah, which actually means 'young woman.'"

You say that miraculous sign was that "a young woman" would give birth. How could that be a "sign" from God? Billions of young women have given birth. The sign was that a virgin would conceive. That's a sign.

Darwinian evolution is unobservable and untestable. That's why it is so faith-based. We know God exists because of Nature/creation (observation), and He is testable because He reveals Himself to all who obey Him (see John 14:21).

Not so. The sex in the commonly cited verse, is consensual (Deuteronomy 22:28—29). Nowadays we call it a shot-gun wedding. The previous verse will tell you that God gives the death sentence to rapists. That's how much He cares about the victim.

"The First Commandment says, 'You shall have no other gods before Me' --that proves He isn’t the only God!"

There are millions of false gods (Hinduism has hundreds of millions). Man gravitates towards idols (which he makes with his hands or with his mind), because they don't demand moral accountability.

Perhaps your standard for judging "incredibly smart" people is a little low. I don't think anyone who believes the scientific impossibility that nothing created everything is even slightly smart.

But you are right about there being many gods. If you include Hinduism there are millions. That's what the First of the Ten Commandments addresses when it says, "You shall have no other gods before Me."

Mankind loves making up little gods because they don't have a moral dictate. There's only one Creator and the way to know Who that Creator is, is to do the quick test on www.NeedGod.com

Your statement that "atheists are not angry" reveals that you don't know many of them (which you later admitted). I have a number of atheist friends who aren't angry, but I have banned over 4,000 from this page and most of those were very angry, filthy-mouthed, intolerant mockers, who venomously hate the God in Whom they don't believe.

"Of course, this is the best way to win over someone's soul. Insult them by telling them they're wrong. Don't give any good evidence or rational argument, just say 'You're wrong.'" Olivette P.

There's nothing wrong with telling someone that they are wrong, especially when they are wrong and there are dire consequences. We have evidence that atheism is wrong. The overwhelming compelling axiomatic evidence is the existence of creation (the amazing order of Nature), and of course the God-given society-shaped conscience. Every human being has knowledge of the Creator's existence and knowledge of His moral requirements. There's your evidence. Take it or leave it. All we can do is present it. Or do you think I'm wrong?

"How do you preach to someone who is deeply involved in occultism and sorcery? Help please." - Axel A. Mendoza

First, you make sure that your theology is biblical—that you know that salvation is of the Lord, that no one can come to the Son unless the Father draws him, and that the Bible says that "none seek after God" (Romans 3:11).

So my advice is to preach the same gospel (using the Law to bring the knowledge of sin) that you preach to everyone else. People who are into the demonic realm (and who isn't nowadays?) don't need "better" or more powerful gospel.

I'm sure you know that, and perhaps your concern is that it may be more difficult for these people to come to Christ. Then think of what happened to the man who was possessed by "Legion." Even a multitude of demons couldn't stop him from coming to the Saviour, falling at His feet, and worshipping Him: "When he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshiped Him" (Mark 5:6).

So take the moral Law and apply it to the conscience, then preach the gospel, and leave the rest up to God. He is faithful, and with Him nothing is impossible.

None of the above were atheists. Not even Hitler. Hitler was a Roman Catholic, who used God for political gain. Fancy that.

The rest were theists. Einstein didn't believe in a "personal" God, and hated it when he was called an atheist. His gripe was with the God of the Bible (the One who condemned adultery). See if you can figure why he was offended.

Atheists want evidence about God's existence, about as much as you and I want to give a bear-hug to an Arizona cactus.

This is because, if the Creator exists, it means that they are morally responsible for their sinful pleasures.

If God Himself came down to earth, raised the dead, walked on water, healed the sick, they would probably mock Him, whip Him, spit on Him, and nail Him to a cross. And if He cried out in anguish for water, in their depraved cruelty, they would probably give Him vinegar to drink.

This is because their "carnal (mind)" is in a state of continual hostility towards God (see Romans 8:7).

"[An atheist] wants to be handed some proof and it just doesn't work that way. We are saved by grace of God through our faith in Him and His grace. Then and only then do we receive the proof in our hearts as well as our heads." Glenda Durell

We know that the Creator exists in the same way that we know that a building has a builder. No building ever built itself. That's plain common sense. The painting is also proof of a painter, because paintings don't paint themselves. More common sense.

So every person knows that God exists because of creation (Nature). Creation could not have made itself. That's plain common sense:

"For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse…" ( Romans 1:20).

We are saved by grace though faith, and the "faith" spoken of, isn't an acknowledgement that God exists. We already intuitively know that. It's a "trust" in His promises.
