Atheism belief of "Who is God"?
All atheists disbelieve in all gods. Atheists believe
no one has yet provided enough evidence to warrant a belief in god(s) or in
Christian context, God. There is no reason to believe that a supernatural
intelligent Creator exists.
[There are billions of
reasons to believe in a supernatural intelligent Creator. From the order of
DNA, to every atom, to the amazingly designed tiny fleas, to the massive
elephants, to the sun, moon and its circuits, to the millions of stars and the
entire universe, there is incredible order.
If you were walking along a beach and saw words
written in the sand that said, "Johnny, make sure you come home at 5:00 pm
for dinner. See you then. I love you. Mum, "Could you ever believe that
the order of the words happened by a random process an accident? Could you
conclude that perhaps the incoming waves left the words in the sand? Only a
fool would think so. Their very order,
information content, and constructed logic tell you
that the message was written by an intelligent mind.]
1. Christian belief of "Who is God"?
God is a Spirit. We can see the attributes of God
through His creation. Since God is the Creator, we can see His work clearly.
Creation shows us His power and order. It is impossible for anyone to look at
creation and not see God's creative power. No one can plead ignorance of God.
We can trace God from the world around us.
We can see His power and majesty in creation.
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:
Romans 1:20 (KJV)
Atheism belief of "Who is Jesus"?
"A relatively enlightened man for his times. Preached
simple things such as brotherly love. Likely a real man. Some, like I, think
his simple lessons were wrapped to control the gullible masses. (which still
works)."
"The carpenter from Bethlehem existed, in all
likelihood. He went around giving sermons, but he was not the son of God and he
did not speak for God. My father, also an atheist, has speculated that Jesus
himself was an atheist and preached his doctrine to give comfort to the minds
of people on Earth. I am not sure about this."
[ In such sermon, Jesus
gave the ultimate challenge to sceptics: “He that
hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that
loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest
Myself to him."(John 14:21). To find out with 100 percent
absolute certainty that Jesus is God in the flesh, atheist can simply obey His
command to repent and believe the gospel, and He will reveal Himself to them.
Then they will know God exist, because they will know Him.]
2. Christian belief of "Who is Jesus"?
The Bible tells us that Jesus is God, eternally pre-existent
before the "incarnation. He is “the image of invisible God". He
created a body for Himself and became a man to suffer and die for the sin of
the world.
Who is the image of the
invisible God;
Colossians 1:15(KJV)
And he is the propitiation for
our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
1 John 2:2 (KJV)
Atheism belief of Heaven and Hell
"I don't believe God exists. I do not believe in
the Bible as the literal inerrant word of God. Thus, Heaven and Hell are, in my
opinion, much like God: a feel-good idea that swims in the minds of people, but
has little bearing in reality. It's also a nifty way to control people through
fear, but I digress. Personally, I think the idea of Hell points to exceptional
cruelty. An eternity of pain? That's pure evil. Heaven also sounds pretty
boring. I'd rather reincarnate (but alas, I don't believe in that
either)."
[The question is often
asked, "How could a loving God create Hell?" Think of how a civil
judge, who turned a blind eye to murder, would be corrupt and should be brought
to justice himself. If the Judge of the Universe is not going to bring
murderers to ultimate justice, then He is corrupt. He would be wicked. In the
1990s in the US there were 200,000 murders. Statistics show that during those
ten years half of those homicide crimes were unsolved. That means that 100,000
people got away with murder. When we use the Law to show that God is not only
loving, but that He is perfect, holy, just and good, we end up saying,
"How can there not be a Hell?"]
3.Christian belief of Heaven and Hell
We will be free from all trouble and sorrow. All tears
shall be wiped away and no remembrance of former sorrows shall remain. God
Himself, as our Father, shall wipe away the tears of His children.
And God shall wipe away all
tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor
crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed
away.
Revelation 21:4 (KJV)
This will be the day, when all shall be judged. The
appearance of the Judge and that is the Lord Jesus Christ who puts on such
majesty and judge righteously. Woe to the wicked, whosoever was not written in
the book of life, for they shall perish in hell forever and ever.
And whosoever was not found
written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Revelation 20:15 (KJV)
Atheism belief of Sin and Salvation
“I do not believe there is such a thing as sin, mainly
because I do not believe that the Bible is anything other than a load of
stories. If there is sin, then there must be moral absolutes, which do not
exist because our stance on morality has changed over time.” "Seeing as I
do not believe in an afterlife, the concept of salvation seems ridiculous and
unnecessary to me.”
[There’s a big problem
when an atheist who denies that sin (evil) exists. All you have to do is ask if
murder is wrong, and if he says that it’s not, keep on asking if what Hitler
did was wrong, or if paedophilia is wrong. You will soon find that he has a
moral boundary regarding what is right and what is wrong. God’s moral standard
is infinitely higher.]
4. Christian belief of Sin and Salvation
We believe that sin is a transgression / violation
against God's Holy Law (The Ten Commandments). An act of rebellion against Him.
Whosoever committeth sin
transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
1John 3:4 (KJV)
God loves us so much that He sent His Son Jesus Christ
to be born on earth and die on the cross to save us from our sins. There is
nothing we can do to make us good enough for heaven. All we have to do is
repent, believe, and trust in Jesus Christ alone as our Lord and Saviour.
For God so loved the world, that
he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not
perish, but have everlasting life.
John3:16 (KJV)
Conclusion:
How can we know that God exists? We cannot see Him,
hear Him, touch, taste, or smell Him. Common sense tells us that creation is
absolute 100 percent scientific proof that there is a Creator. We cannot have
creation without the Creator. We don’t need faith to believe in the Creator.
All we need is eyes that can see and a brain that works.
So, just as I don’t need faith to believe in a builder
because I have a building in front of me, so I don’t need faith to believe in a
Creator, because I have creation in front of me. However, if I want the builder
to do something for me, then I need to have faith in him.
The same is true with God:
But without faith it is
impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is,
and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Hebrews 11:6(KJV)
With Blessing in Christ,
David & Gay
