[QUOTE="ephraimanesti, post: 56110886, member: 131538"] MY BROTHER, "Nonstarter?" What exactly is there to "start?" Christians are charged by God with the simple task of "preaching the Gospel"--i.e., telling the Truth and demonstrating it through our lives. Once the Truth is told and demonstrated to the best of our abilities, we've done what our Lord has commanded us to do. As explained by the Prophet Ezekiel, "The word of the Lord came to me: 'Son of man, I have made you a watchman . . . so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me. When I say to a wicked man, 'You will surely die,' and you do not warn him or speak out to dissuade him from his evil ways in order to save his life, that wicked man will die for his sin, and I will hold you accountable for his blood. But if you do warn the wicked man and he does not turn from his wickedness or from his evil way, he will die for his sin; but you will have saved yourself.' " (Ezekiel 3:17-19) All this arguing and attempts to "prove" or "convert" is actually not part of the deal--except for those who just enjoy arguing. Atheists--complete with hardened hearts and closed minds--are well beyond human intervention or reason. Only God can deal with their issues, so, once the Truth has been told once, it appears best to leave it lay--the ball is in the other court and life's too short. (Keeping in mind, of course, [FONT="Arial Black"]honest[/FONT] questions by [FONT="Arial Black"]honest[/FONT] agnostics [FONT="Arial Black"]honestly[/FONT] seeking the truth is a whole nurther issue entirely. There is a world of difference between the blacked--out--brain icon and the magnifying glass icon.) :bow:ABBA'S FOOL, [SIZE="1"]ephraim[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
