When I say it does not matter what non-Christians think, I mean when someone is denying what God's word says or is arguing that God is not fair. They might think what they want, but that can not change what is true.
But yes there are times when God uses non-Christians to correct us or to inform us. And they can know things that God has had them discover and share with us.
He says his mother claims that she does not sin. But God's word shows various ways we all can sin. She is very possibly doing wrong things but is denying this or is ignorant.
Philippians 2:12-16 says not to complain or argue. Do you believe that any of us never complains or argues?
And unforgiveness is wrong >
Mark 11:25.
As an atheist I see God as something
described in a book. So true / false, fair / unfair
acts of God is meaningless to me.
I note that Christians among themselves argue endlessly on what Gods words mean.
Ranging, say, from 100 percent literal flood,
to local, to purely a cautionary tale.
The church was going to stick with perfect spherical
planetx, perfectly circular planetary orbits, perfectly spotless sun, and geocentrsm until observations by scientists made untenable.
Likewise the church was fully into the great flood until
(Christian) researchers began to question it.
Leading to today when researchers of every nation have in their widely varied ways have found ten thousand differentthings that disprove the flood-the flood beibg collateral damage, so to speak. Not that they set out to " disprove the flood".
Same with evolution. The facts don't match a literal
Bible version.
The question to ask yourself is,
Am I so sure that I really- really am the one who
KNOWS exactly what is the meanjng of God's word.
And
If a Hindu, Mormon, Taoist, atheist or catholic etc
can deliver unimpeachable facts that do not match
how you choose to read the bible...
what should you do?
