Edited…. Hating I had the run in with an atheist.

Don't let what ever they said get to you.

Seek to learn from the conversation, if it was a conversation.

Questions to ask are, What do you believe? and What evidence do you have for that?

Yes they will often talk over you, not listen, have fancy arguments and are better with words.
So what. Your standing firm on the truth of the gospel inspite of there eloquence, your peace and asurance rattles atheists.

After all if there is no God, our belief in God is meaningless, something to laugh off, but they can't.
They know there is a God, they won't admit it.

So stand firm in what you elief, witness to it and pray for them.

The thing to learn from the conversation is straight forward, this is not the area of the forum to post farside cartoons.

What is a bugle? A musical instrument, a type of food in a bag,
a small or growing or infant bug ? A mistake? An oddity? what ?

Genesis 4:7 "If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door."
Yea... I am a sinner all right. And my worse sins came from hanging around the wrong people. If I could go back in time my first priority would be to hang around the right kind of people.

We cannot regress, but must press ever onwards. The challenge is not to correct the wrong of the past but to take the correct road to the future. Best of luck.

My tarten has yellow as well. I went with the hunting tarten for my formal kilt. It has a nice sky blue hue to it. :)

Some few people , we hope anyway, are blessed with parent/s/ who raise them in the way they should live. When they are older they will not depart far from the right way. Being born to the right kind of people is not exactly a choice given ,
and some might argue , or not, that being born again is not exactly a choice either . "By the Will of the Father, not by a choice of the flesh, nor by the will of man, .... " Yahweh in His Infinite Wisdom, Purpose, Plan, Mercy, Perfect in Every Way, knows everything, knows what He Is Doing, and reveals this to little children in His Good Pleasure, while hiding this from educated ones as this also is His Good Pleasure.

I believe the Messianic were of the first congregation and are different from the other six...

And even posted something to that effect in the Messianic forum...


I was in our local Wednesday morning Bible study back in December where a bunch of us meet for bible study and coffee. I gave a brief account of my idea of the seven churches and paused and said, "I wish I could have met some Messianics personally." The leader of the Bible study said, "There's one sitting next to you!" Apparently I had a retired Messianic who we call, "Professor Richard" who was sitting next to me all along. Wonderful man! I want to get into the study with him on why the Messianic congregation almost disappeared entirely after the fall of Jerusalem in 70AD.
