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 the
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.
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.”
Jesus gave the ultimate challenge to skeptics:
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, atheists 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 sins 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 in 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 in 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 judges 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 in 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 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 are 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
