Answers To Atheism

[Eudaimonist]

One can only find it lacking if they havn't accepted the truth of it.
The truth is, God is good. Accept it.

I had done so. I was a believing Christian, and I had performed the necessary procedure for accepting Salvation. I did so with full honesty and sincerity. I was unimpressed with the results.

It was only afterwards that I had come to realize that it was all smoke and mirrors.


eudaimonia,

Mark

Hatred of "scripture" doesn't nullify the truth of it.

When did I say I hate scripture? I don't hate scripture, any more than I hate Greek Mythology. In fact there's some entertaining stories in both, however that doesn't mean they're true or I should take them seriously.

It is easy to understand.

Love does not rejoice in iniquity(wickedness), Love rejoices in the truth.

That means, all wickedness is a lie. All goodness is truth.

That logic simply doesn't work... There's plenty of evil in the world that is factual, and plenty of good things that are based on falsehood.

My time is never wasted by "quoting scripture"(truth). My "quoting scripture" will do all that it is required to do and will not return to me empty.

If it is bringing one to God, the Maker, or providing mankind without an excuse, it always does as it is intended to do.

Quoting scripture to Atheists is indeed a waste of your time. Why not try some variety and quote the holy book of some other religion? We'd probably find it more interesting.

That is called "pantheism". The Christians I know call it a heresy. It is, however, consistent with science. Because if god is all existence then science is the study of God.

And if God is all existence then we are all a part of God, and not separate. That would mean that all that "original sin", and "sin nature" is just so much smoke and mirrors. It would mean that preachers, prophets, pastors, priests and popes are just trying to tell you are separated from God, so they can get you back to where you always are, while separating you from your cash. Of course they might believe it all themselves, since it is to their economic advantage. Fear and/or money can usually convince people of anything.

One can call it whatever they want. The truth remains, God loves each of us and is all the truth and goodness.

Seeking for the truth is good. Some see and don't perceive. Some Hear and don't understand. God still remains good. He loves you. Smile, the Creator of all that is desires you to witness His perfection.

Sin was by choice. And those that continue to serve wickedness, do so by choice(their own choice). God is blameless, cause God is all that is good.

One can either serve God, or mammon(money). The love of worldly gain by wickedness is the root of all evil.

God created all. This is good news. God is the only one worth acknowledging.

The devil chose to serve wickedness and confusion, cause he(the devil) hates God.

The logic doesn't follow. God created Satan as well, knowing exactly what he'd do.

So, essentially, the only logical way it works (if God is indeed omnipotent, omniscient and created all) is that Satan is part of God's plan, and the two are working together.

 

[Dave Ellis]

God does exist. God is all existence.
God is life itself.

All get a chance to know God. That presents all without excuse.

The burden is light friend. All goodness is of God and all wickedness is against God. Love is not forced. God does not force Himself upon mankind, or angels for that matter. One has a choice. Serve goodness and serve God, or serve wickedness and fight against God. Life is goodness, and those that serve wickedness must not exist, because life is eternal and wickedness does not have a place in life.

God is all goodness, and none can create anything apart from Him. God Himself is goodness. God created all life. Himself alone. God is good friend.

If God is goodness, then he didn't create goodness. It's impossible, otherwise you are saying your God was indeed created.

Picture this, God is perfect, and God does not force Himself onto any.

God is all goodness and all goodness comes from God alone.

Agree with me, I guarentee you won't regret it.

Of course the devil trying to take credit for God is ignorance, hence the confusion. The devil was an angel, lifted higher than any angel, with pride, instead of gratefulness to God, decided he was better than all, tried to steal the throne of God Himself(the Maker of all). Exactly, who could be that stupid...

Apparently the devil. Gathering other angels and fought against God. God commanded the Angels, the ones that believe in the truth that God created all already, to remove the devil and his(the devils followers of wickedness), cast out from Heaven, the dwelling place of God Himself, perfection. Now the devil, knowing that he has messed up already, continously fights against all that belong to God(goodness), knowing that he is destined to suffer eternal torment for his rebelious acts against God Hmself, the Creator of all. The devil is already aware that he is doomed, and constantly fights against God, trying to persuade mankind into fighting against God, goodness itself. It is a choice, to serve goodness or serve wickedness, by all that are below God Himself, for God(love) is not forced upon any. One that truely rejoices in goodness, is of God and is eternal and is promised life everlasting where pain and suffering don't exist. Those that choose to serve wickedness, choose every wickedness, pain and suffering, torment and seperation from God Himself, all goodness. Mankind is without excuse.

This is ridiculous... how on earth would you fight against an all powerful eternal being? He could snap his fingers and blot you out of existence.

If Satan exists, it's because God wants him to exist.

How does that address my point at all?

 

[Dave Ellis]

God is all goodness and all goodness comes from God alone.

So, God did not create goodness then?

Gods work is outstanding service.(citation)

If you believe any truth, you must admit God is good friend.
God created all that is. And He loves us.

Please, I pray, with sincerity, do not speak against the Holy Spirit, He truely is a friend of all that seek truth.

If you desire to know the truth, you are most welcome, and I, myself, will stand by your side, by the love that God Himself gifts to me, we will stand together, according to Gods will, and defeat every opponent to the truth. Accept and praise the Holy Spirit of God, Himself, a noble opportunity, for one indeed. Forget about impressing mankind, seek the truth and the whole truth and I guarantee, with God, you will not be disappointed.

God is goodness and all that is created is goodness. God is the Creator. Those that choose to fight against God, fight against goodness itself.

Obviously God does not force Himself onto any.
Choice is a beautiful thing. God is blameless.

God is eternal.

One that rejects the Holy Bible, rejects truth itself.

 

[someguy14]

Do you agree that God is good... If not, your against truth.

 

[someguy14]

Truth is truth, and regardless how much one wants to fight against it, it remains strong and conquers all.
