Just what will be convincing enough for an Atheist to finally say "okay, you got me there. That is pretty interesting". I've tried Biblical history, archeology, prophecy, etc. The list honestly goes on. I've given good, rational arguments for the existence of God even, yet they still reject it? Is it not good enough? I for one, haven't one showed how it isn't good enough. They only reject it with there personal issues. This convinces me more Atheists really aren't intellectual and refuse to accept the idea of God. It is pure rejection of God. They are biased. They really won't convert if you give them excellent evidence!
So, I have now decided that I will not even bother with those who reject my evidence and I encourage other Christians to do so. We don't need to prove anything or even give evidence. Even though Christianity is a reasonable faith, it still is simply a faith.
You see, that is the first mistake the Atheist makes. They want evidence. At first this may not seem so bad because why wouldn't we want evidence to believe in something? But Theists believe God is a spirit. If showing you all the things I've said above at the beginning of this blog is not good enough, then what kind of evidence or proof this spirit exists? How can we prove a spirit? The only way we can do that is if we physically show you Him, which we can't.
To all the Atheists that read this, please consider good rational arguments and other various ways of showing you why we Theists believe what we believe.

ReplyDeleteIn the blog bloganders.blogspot.com (see right menu) I quote a proof which proves the existence of a Creator and His purpose of humankind. So indeed the atheist has the burden of proof on himself/herself.

That has implications of foregiveness and I want to comment on that.
How to live in order to enable the Creator in His loving kindness to provide His foregivness is outlined in the Jewish Bible ; and was also taught by the first century Ribi Yehoshua from Nazareth (the Mashiakh; the Messiah). The Jewish Bible – for example Yekhëzqeil (Hezekiel) 18 – promises foregivness to those who do their sincerest to keep Torah. The Creator cannot lie and He does not change (Malakhi 3:6)! According to Tehilim (“Psalms”) 103 the Creator gives his foregivness to those who do their sincerest to keep His berit (“covenant”; the pre-conditions to be included in the berit is according to the Jewish Bible to do ones sincerest to keep Torah). To those who dies in a state of doing their sincerest to keep the instructions in Torah, in Yekhezeqiel they are promised life after death with the Creator.
