Question for an atheist

[Markwsmith2020]

One question no atheist can answer!
We are a hybrid, we have a body and soul, or non-religious way of putting it is a body and a person, even science proves this by change, the body changes all through life, but I remain the same person, my person does not change, the body is physical, and knowable by the five senses, what is the person, it's not physical and not knowable by the five senses? So it's not physical, what is it? And we know from science that the body is the result of the natural conception of one man and one woman, question for an atheist, what is the source of the person? Since my person did not exist, but now does, the only logical conclusion is that I was created, therefore there must be a creator, God!

Spiritual? Air, water, sin...dust to dust...life death blood water spirit heart blood river water ocean heavens earth

The Bible says we were created and sinned and sinned more. There's spirit and also the flesh we see.

Who we? Why do you say we all sin?

We definitely need God's Word

 

[Phil 1:21]

If you want an open discussion with atheists, there is a forum for that.

I'm not sure I follow your reasoning, but your argument looks like this to me:

1) In order to have a "soul", you must be created.
2) Humans have "souls".
3) Therefore, humans must be created.

Am I correct?

I think they will disagree with the first premise.

Who we? Why do you say we all sin?

Probably because Paul said we all sin.... "For all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God..."

Your arguments make sense to me because I’m a Christian. Atheists, though, wouldn’t believe your points and would say you have to prove God.

In my opinion, it’s best not to debate atheists. Every time, they will insist you prove God with evidence or scientific method. They don’t see any merit in theological arguments. Nothing gets through to them.

In reality, atheists are in love with their sins and don’t wish to repent and know God. They deny our heavenly father’s existence not because they are skeptical, but because they prefer sin instead of the way, the truth, and the life.

Well of course atheists can't answer your question, this section of the forum is for Christians only.

Althought these kind of posts provoke a little bit of 'preaching to the choir'-behaviour, I actually hear a lot of different explanations for the fact that we have a soul and how it came to be. I don't think you have to be an atheist to discuss this kind of topic as within the christian community there is actually a lot of discourse regarding the answer of this question. I myself am actually still looking for the correct answer!

"Since my person did not exist, but now does, the only logical conclusion is that I was created, therefore there must be a creator, God!"...

...is not satisfying at best imo

Take a course on the physiology of the brain and you'll have a lot of your answers there. I don't remember all of it (just one course I took many years ago for my degree, not central to my degree), but basically your memories make up a lot of who you are, your reactions to things--emotions if I'm remembering correctly are based in the amygdala (again those are built up from memories we accumulate from birth on forward). The hypothalamus had some personality things going on too.

It's a very fascinating topic and will explain a lot how things that don't seem physical actually do have a physical basis (for instance, "mental" diseases are often due to an imbalance in chemicals).
