More Atheists Shout It From the Rooftops

[Kelli]

geesh, I wish I could figure out how to PM... I am having a hard time replying to a PM... :mad Sorry don't mean to hijack this topic...

 

[Lewis]

One way Kelli is to click on that persons name and their profile will come up click on personal message or PM. Type what you want hit send, then another page might come up and hit send again, and that is it. And we adore you Kelli.

 

[Kelli]

woohoo, I did it! Thanks Lewis!

 

[Lewis]

Yes you did

 

[Kelli]

Dear sweet Kelli, do you really think this is true? How are we to know whether someone is chosen? I believe that as long as one is alive, he still has time (though we never know how much time!). There are countless stories of people who have spent their whole lives rejecting Christ and then came to know Him and were saved. Look at Saul/Paul, persecutor of Christians! Who would have ever believed, while he was persecuting Christians, that he too was chosen?

Jojo, I apologize I didn't make myself clear, of course you are correct, Animal will have a chance up to the very last second. I was just trying to point out to him, that it's not all up to him.

Love, Kelli

I started playing around with that same picture about 4 years ago, and you are the first one to have a problem with it, and i mean the first one. So if it bothers you, you don't have to look at it, or you can PM me about it.

My problem is not the picture, but the comment. Whether in jest or not, the mocking tone has the potential for constructing walls between the nonbeliever and the Gospel. And I do not mean animal specifically, but a recognition that this is a public forum which anyone can read.

Well check this out, if you are talking against the Gospel, the devil does love you, because you are doing his will.

I don't think the devil is capable of loving anyone. I believe he seduces, manipulates, uses and deceives people and seeks to add them to his ranks for his evil purposes. But love? Not likely.

But I know what you meant, Lewis.

Mockery does nothing to compel nonbelievers to Christ, but rather can build walls between them and Christ. The Christian should not use 'the truth' to mock nonbelievers.

Sorry Lewis, but you and I are simply going to need to strongly disagree on this issue.

Edit: fixed quote.

 

[Lewis]

I guess so, and I am still not going to stop joking around with that image. We have had many laughs with that thing.

Talk about mockery you should be arrested. :naughty

Joshua S. Black, when addressing an atheist said, "For people who don't believe in God, you guys sure are paranoid about something!!" How true that is. I have known many atheists, and I have found them to be totally committed to their negative cause. They are zealots, fanatics--who are serious, angry, hateful, and blasphemous towards something they don't believe in. And what's more, they spend their time gathering fuel for the fire of their hatred for God and those that love Him. They gather what they think is legitimate fuel, whether it is atrocities committed by hypocritical religions of history, or the horrors of the Inquisition (the Catholic church torturing Christians for their faith in Jesus). They even gather unintelligent and unscientific material. It qualifies for use because it fits their presuppositions. Any fuel will do, as long at it puts smoke between them and the God they hate "without cause." It was Jonathon Miller who said, "In some awful, strange, paradoxical way, atheists tend to take religion more seriously than the practitioners." So, what is this "something" about which they are so paranoid? It is the same "something" that makes criminals paranoid, and it is that paranoia that fuels criminals to have a deep-rooted hatred for the police. It's not the individual officer they hate; it's what he stands for--civil law. And that's the root of the hatred that the atheist has for God and for those that represent Him. Once again, the Bible has said this all along. It hits the nail on its big and hard head: Romans 8:7: ". . .. because the mind of the flesh [with its carnal thoughts and purposes] is hostile to God, for it does not submit itself to God's Law; indeed it cannot" (Amplified Bible). They hate the morality that God's Law demands. That's the fuel for their hostility.

Lewis W is simply using debate tactics endorsed by the new atheist leader, Richard Dawkins. http://is.gd/wqtX

I've always wondered.. Why does Satan do God's will and torture those he, Satan, "loves"?

Did you write this or did you steal it from Ray Comfort and post the entire article here as your own?
Shame shame.
