Re: Are You an Atheist?

Furry, you probably ought not use the word "illiterate". I would stay away from "poorly educated", "possessed of poor usage skills" and possibly even "stupid", too, was I you.

God Bless!

Brother Alvin, I don't think that our little furry friend understood what you mean. I'll try to help him with that:

No, that means you're illiterate and believe in an invisible man in the sky, for whose existence there is no suitable evidence.

It still looks awkward, it is completely false, and it lacks basic logic (what does illiteracy have to do with someone's beliefs?), but I've tried to fix the grammar as much as I could.

You're welcome, furry.

Re: Are You an Atheist?

Yes, I am an Atheist...

One who hasn't yet learned the difference between a proper noun (like Christian) and an improper noun (such as atheist). Improper nouns are not capitalized in English (unless it's the first word of a sentence, or part of a group's name, like American Atheists).

...Present me evidence that god is real; Solid evidence, visual solid evidence; Not you're bible because that was written long ago in a gullible time.

1) You're = contraction of "you are".
Your = something that belongs to you.

2) Be glad that semicolon abuse is not a crime.

And you're ( <--- see?) not going to get that, because God wants your ( <--- see?) faith (which is belief without proof). If you have proof, then you have knowledge, not faith.

As for gullibility, our knowledge is increasing all the time, but there's no proof that individual IQs are (in fact, there's a lot of evidence the opposite is true).

Re: Are You an Atheist?

Can I just point out how biased and wrong this poll is. There is a small amount of what people claim as evidence (bible etc.) in every religion and none have actually been proven to be true so therefore you cannot claim that people have "chosen the wrong god". Your description of atheists is also blown slightly out of proportion. Atheists do not hate god, we simply do not believe he exists. How can you hate something that doesn't exist. Worshipping monkeys is also highly illogical and unintelligent as they are less complex life forms and do not hold any spiritual power. In the forum rules it says that hateful posts are not allowed, yet this poll seems to be derogatory to certain types of people and religions.

Re: Are You an Atheist?

You apparently didn't need our permission, since you barreled on ahead and vomited your unsaved opinion all over our Godly forums regardless. Such boorish behavior is to be expected from unsaved trash, I suppose. It's not as if anyone here cares what you think, though. This is a place of praise and fellowship, not entertaining the vain notions of those stupid enough to choose eternal hellfire over Salvation through sanctification of the Spirit.

There is a small amount of what people claim as evidence (bible etc.) in every religion and none have actually been proven to be true so therefore you cannot claim that people have "chosen the wrong god".

If the Bible weren't true, don't you think God would have told us?

Psalm 12:6-7
The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

II Timothy 3:16
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Your description of atheists is also blown slightly out of proportion. Atheists do not hate god, we simply do not believe he exists. How can you hate something that doesn't exist.

It is impossible to not believe in God. His Truth is evident all around us. His Truth is written on your black, sinful little heart, whether you choose to acknowledge that Truth or not. Atheists hate God so much, you pretend He doesn't exist, even though you know He does, in your heart of hearts.

Romans 1:20-21
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

Worshipping monkeys is also highly illogical and unintelligent as they are less complex life forms and do not hold any spiritual power. In the forum rules it says that hateful posts are not allowed, yet this poll seems to be derogatory to certain types of people and religions.

If monkey-worship is beneath you because they are lower life forms, how do you justify your failure to cower before the LORD, fearing Him and obeying His commandments? Is He not, after all, a higher life form than you? So you don't want to worship lower life forms, and you don't want to worship higher life forms... Exactly what is it you choose to worship then? Yourself? Barack Hussein Obama?

If our anointed teachings make you uneasy, then that is all the more evidence that the Holy Spirit is at work on these forums. If we even began to give you the impression that your unsaved, sinful lifestyle is okay, then we would not be doing our job as World Overcomers. Our charge as Christians is to preach the gospel, rebuking sinners wherever we encounter them.

II Timothy 4:1-5
I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

According to Timothy 5:8, if you disown your children you are worse than an unbeliever:
"But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel."

Dear Ms. TUMV,

Thank you for your question.

You must mean 1 Timothy 5:8? Anyway, I discuss that verse.

The context is more complex than you present, as the pericope discusses how we should take care of widows, which ones of them are Godly and which ones in peril of damnation. This verse in in between that discourse. A wonderful verse it is!

The main thing is to provide one's family members. What is ultimately the only manner of providing that matters? I'll answer you! It is providing for ETERNITY! The Earthly life with its infinitesimally short period of time is NOTHING compared to the prospect of INFINITE life in Christ in HEAVEN.

How can we provide that to our near and dear?! By teaching how to live according to God's will, how to obey His orders. And if our offspring desert this path, it is our duty to PROVIDE them a vision of the consequences of atheism, etc.

In these cases, procedures that may seem drastic and cruel for the unbeliever are in fact filled with LOVE when we keep the ultimate target clear in our minds. HEAVEN!




Jesus tells us that unbelievers will be deposited in a most unpleasant location:

Matthew 13:50
And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.


How would enabling that fate be 'providing'? No! Real providing is showing the errors of our ways, sometimes with harsh measures, in order to give the children TRUE PROVIDING! True providing that leads to Jesus, our only saviour!

Yours in Christ,

Elmer

So your username is Athiest*** (the correct spelling is atheist, by the way) yet in only your second post on these forums you claim to be a Deist and respect all religions. Except, apparently, Christianity? Why are you here?

*** Moderators: I know we have a lot of talented programmers on board here. Is it possible to write a script so that any fool who mis-spells this word in their username is automatically banned at registration? It would save such a lot of time.

I'm obviously not a mod, and I don't know what coding language you use, but in most languages it should be pretty simple, just a few lines saying when the letters athiest are out together in that order, registration is forbidden.

God commands us to NOT respect unbelievers and worshipers of false gods. Do you think that you know more than God?

1Corinthians 5:9-11
I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.
But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolator, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.


1 John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
23:Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.

The atheist "point of view" is dictated by satan and therefore irrelevant. If you run with dogs, you're going to catch fleas little lady. Take my advice: Rebuke and shun any of your friends who reject Christ Jesus. You'll be glad you did!
