"For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart" (Hebrews 4:12).

"So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it" (Isaiah 55:11).

"He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God" (John 3:18).

" . . . except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish" (Luke 13:3).

1. The Word of God is a knife that cuts right through the hearer . . . it has power to achieve it's purpose.
2. The Word of God will accomplish the purpose to which God intended it . . . to convict and condemn the lost sinner.
3. The Word of God says that a man without Christ is 'condemned already' - no trial is necessary. He is already dead in sins.
4. Turn or burn.

As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.

If a person comes to me and says "prove God exsist" I ignore him for no man seeks after God.

If a person says help me with my unbelief then I take the time to answer questions.

I would never expect the natural man to know the spiritual side of things so I first go to creating a thirst......their interest, I ask them questions the same as Jesus did when he asked who do you say that I am.

Your response seems contradictory.

One one hand no man seeks after God - so apparently God didn't choose him, yet on the other hand you think you can create a thirst in an unchosen man?

If he were chosen, he wouldn't need you.

Atheist because they have "no faith" not little but none.... try and prove there is no God by the temporal things seen as their own kind of religious belief system.

While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.2 Corinthians 4:18

A person cannot find God who is not made of the rudiments (atoms and molecules) of this world under a microscope or telescope as if he was a man as us. They simply believe in vain Christianity is one of the many, many philosophies of men as oral traditions.

The gospel is the power of God unto salvation from faith the unseen, to faith the unseen eternal .

Its not the believers they reject, but God not seen.

Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

We can plant the gospel seed and water it with the doctrines of God but he must cause growth if any.

God is not served by human hands (will) No man can come unless the father enables them by the hearing of His faith.

It's how beautiful are the feet (feet represent the gospel) And not how beautiful is the mouth .

Romans 10:15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

John 13:8 Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.

He who has no needs but satisfies all does not need us... its him who moves us to both will and do His good pleasure.

I think garee has already answered your comment so clearly.. thanks bro;)

It is not our place to prove God. He has already done that. We are asked to give an answer to the joy that we have in us.
If one ask me prove God ......I can't do that. But if one ask me to help him understand ......that I can do. From that point it's up to the holy spirit .

One comes seeking a sign......the other comes because of their blindness.......which one would Christ consider?

Atheism is becoming popular these days and Christians here despite religious differences must unite to know and able to answer these questions:

1) If there is God, who is the real god? Baal, Zeus, Yahweh, Allah, Ra, Brahman etc.

2) Why do people are confused who is the real God if there is really a God the reason people worship different gods?

3) How do Science explain the existence of God?

4) If there is God, why he allowed a lot of suffering to happen here on earth today?

5) If God exists and He is love, why he let the devil roam around the world to tempt people to do sin?

6) How will you explain when, where and how God exists from the beginning?

7) If God exists and He is love, why can't he detain the devil forever and allow humans to live with fullest satisfaction, happiness and eternal here on earth?
1. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob

2. Because people love sin. People dont want to come to the light, lest they be exposed for being evil. Another clear evidence for this is just reading the bible and then comparing it to any other religion's book. Most of the other ones are just incoherent ramblings and poetry, whereas the Bible is a coherent story written by different authors in different times, and still consistent! It goes from Creation to Eternity.

3. Science falsely so called cant explain anything. Romans 1 is the answer. Creation itself proves there is a creator. If you see "hi mom" written to the sand on the beach, you dont think it just got there by itself. Thats how dumb atheism is, EVERYTHING came from nothing...

4. God allows suffering because man has free-will, and has chosen to sin. Because of the curse put on earth, we are all subject to illnesses and other problems like droughts, floods, thorns and thistles, teeth falling apart etc. This is a poor argument to begin with, it assumes that because there is a God, there must not be any suffering.

5. To test people. Furthermore its not just the devil that tempts us, Jesus and James both agree that its from within our hearts that adulteries and evil thoughts and temptations come. Temptation is not sin, Jesus was also tempted it says.

6. God has no beginning or end, God is eternal. From everlasting to everlasting.

7. He will throw the devil into the lake of fire in the end. And THEN all tears will be wiped away, and humans do live with full happiness and eternal life here on earth. Revelation 21 and end of Rev 20.

There. That was easy.

Both. God sees what you can't . . . the heart of the men.

. A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign shall be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.” And He left them and departed.

Guess again;)

1) If there is God, who is the real god? Baal, Zeus, Yahweh, Allah, Ra, Brahman etc.

The natural man does not receive the things of God, nor can they for they are spiritually discerned..

Creation testifies there is a God, and of His attributes, which one of them is love towards people, for He provided food, and the means to make clothing and shelter, so the atheist is without excuse.

If looking at creation does not convince them of a God then they do not want to believe.

The Bible says one can rise from the dead and tell them the truth, but they still would not believe.

2) Why do people are confused who is the real God if there is really a God the reason people worship different gods?

Out of all the Gods people worship it is obvious it is the God of Israel that is the true God by telling us the end from the beginning, and the whole history of mankind, and what is going on right now, which is how God shows us He is the true God.

If people know prophesy of the Bible point it out to the atheist that how would they know back then of these things.

3) How do Science explain the existence of God?

It does not matter for they do not want to believe there is a God, so they do not believe there is a God, so they have to have some explanation how things came about so it is evolution which is a joke.

But evolution is the future for this sinful world, and the wicked are working to try to bring the nations together and establish the new age movement in the world based on evolution, and people can still evolve, so they will work at doing that, and science will say evolution.

Like they took prayer out of school and taught evolution, for that is the future for this world, for the new age movement is the future for this world.

4) If there is God, why he allowed a lot of suffering to happen here on earth today?

Paul said the sufferings of this world are only temporary, and not comparable to the glory the saints shall receive, eternal life, and no matter the suffering and pain a person can cry out to God and be saved.

So it is not God's fault if they do not cry out to Him.

Jesus said do not fear what they can do to the body, but can do not more, but fear God.

Paul said the saints are killed all the day long, and suffer persecution.

5) If God exists and He is love, why he let the devil roam around the world to tempt people to do sin?

Because people sin so the devil gets to roam free, but on a leash, but one day the devil will be off his leash and deceive all people that do not love God by the New Age Christ, and then God will stop this sin business on earth, and then the devil is not free to roam around but in the bottomless pit, then Jesus and the saints will rule over the heathen on earth that followed the New Age Christ, and at the end of that time the devil will be loosed and deceive the heathen to go against the saints, and then God will put a stop to them, and sin no more, and the devil is locked away for good.

As long as people sin the devil can roam free, but when people cannot sin anymore the devil is locked away, for it is people's sins that allows the devil to roam free.

So tell the atheist to stop sinning, and acknowledge Jesus so they will not contribute to the devil roaming free tempting people.

6) How will you explain when, where and how God exists from the beginning?

There is no such thing as time, for it does not exist as a substance, or an eternal principle, but is only a measuring tool to measure the beginning of creation to the end of this heaven and earth.

Before creation there is no time, and after this heaven and earth pass away there is no time, for time is only a measuring tool to measure things scheduled, and there is no schedule before creation, for all thins go on the same, and no schedule after this heaven and earth pass away, for all things go on the same.

Also the sun going up and going down, and coming up again, constitutes a day, but before creation there is no sun, and after this heaven and earth pass away there is no sun, for the New Jerusalem has no sun, but the Lamb is the light of it as God shines out of the body of the glorified body of the man Christ Jesus and lights the New Jerusalem.

There is no such thing as time as a substance, or an eternal principle, but only a measuring tool to measure things scheduled concerning creation of this present heaven and earth, and also helps us out to schedule things on earth.

Time is not like gravity, and there is no fundamental principle to time that is science, for it does not exist, and there is no time travel, or anything else they think about time.

There is also no such thing as space for God is omnipresent and fills all space, so there is always a substance in all space, and no empty place.

People look up at the sky and they say oh look space, but oh look God.

7) If God exists and He is love, why can't he detain the devil forever and allow humans to live with fullest satisfaction, happiness and eternal here on earth?[/QUOTE]

Because we have a choice between good and evil, and people sin, so we do not get it like the garden of Eden before the fall, and you can blame Adam and Eve for sinning that allowed Satan to be the god of this world over the children of disobedience, but if they had not of sinned then there is no spiritual salvation.

If people sin the devil gets to roam free without punishment until people cannot sin anymore when God stops sin then the devil is locked away for good.

The thing is people believe what they want to believe, and the atheist is not without influence put upon them to believe in evolution, and the religions fight which causes them to want to be an atheist, and the Christians fight over the Bible which does not help in the matter of the atheist turning to God, and problems and troubles on earth causing the atheist to not believe.

i know a man that is an atheist, but his concept of reality is based on Star Trek, which he believes there is aliens, and that one day mankind can roam the universe as them, and believes Jesus was probably a space traveler that landed on earth, so to them He would be a God, so they wrote of Him.

We cannot even convince each other what we believe is truth concerning the Bible as the many different denominations testify of that, and the many that came up based along the new age movement, with a naturalness about them like Christian Science, and Scientology, so reaching an atheist might not be that easy.
