Atheist issues Resolved

 Atheist Issues Resolved:

There are many who have a bunch of different misunderstandings and have been mislead by others. It is good to ask Christians these questions so you can get answers. 

Problems an Atheist has and is seeking answers:

Atheists are annoyed when those that believe in God make statements "citing their belief" in God.

1- God loves you but you will be in danger of the second death if you don't profess belief in him.

Humans are enemies of God because of sin. They hate God. But God made humans, and He loved His creation, He knows the humans are trapped in the sin nature because of Adam's sin at the Fall. We all deserve damnation for committing 1 sin. God is perfect and we are not (we are fallen). God planned and carried out a mission from clothing Adam and Even in the Garden to Christ completing the mission at the Resurrection, to make The Way to bring us back to God. We are spiritually dead, (died in Eden), and God gives the saved, spiritual life. God offers salvation through Jesus. God went to great lengths and bore our sins and God's wrath on sin (taking the sins of every believer on himself, and the eternal wrath for each sinner) on the cross. God offers salvation, all we have to do is receive it. So no one has to go to eternal Hell. They choose to. And are blind to what Hell really is and upon arriving there, it is too late to escape or be redeemed. God offers salvation today. 

2- God has a "chosen" people that take precedence over others. 

As noted above, people can receive the offer and free gift God has given to the world. No one takes precedence over anyone else, whosoever will believe will be saved. 

Either all are chosen or none are. 

That is how a righteous God would operate. 

No. He will not force you to be made right with him. What relationship do you know of that when people are irreconcilable the other party forces them back into a good and right relationship with them. NOT ONE. And though we are God's enemies, because of sin, he still went to great lengths at great cost to make the way possible to reconcile us to himself. 

A good God cannot dismiss sin, he is not corrupt like a judge who will take bribes or dismiss your crimes in a court of law just because "he should". That's insanity, not Justice. 

3- God saved you.

No, you saved you. Otherwise God would be an unrighteousness God for saving you and not everyone else. 

No only God saves. We are spiritually dead, we cannot make ourselves alive. Only the Creator has the power to give us life, just as we were born by Him giving us life, so too we are born again only by God's doing. 

4- talking about when someone dies;

Oh, they are better off there.

...truth, no one knows what it is like when we die. You have your beliefs but beliefs are not necessarily facts.

We do know what eternity is like. God has been very clear about what kind of life we live with God now and in eternity and about what it is like. He did not have to tell us anything but he chose to, in the Bible. He also tells us what Hell will be like, and the knowledge of truth and the fear that is your friend should drive you to the Cross. You have everything to gain by coming to Jesus. Do not be rebellious any longer. surrender, admit you were wrong, and God will forgive you and embrace you and call you His own child. 

5- we are nothing without God. 

What loving God would say that? 

We are "worth" the same with or without a God. 

We were made by God for God. We exist because He created us, and designed us to be in fellowship with Him. Our purpose in life is to love God, to glorify Him and to do His good Will. the phrase used that you noted is a bit meh but it still has truth to it. We have value because we are made in the image of God, for God. 

6- God gave his only begotten son (Christians specifically). 

What for 3 days and 3 nights while the rest of us lose people for our lifetimes? 

Oh and according to the traditions Friday evening to Sunday morning is only a day and a half! 

So the all knowing, all loving, created everything righteous God "gave his only begotten son..." for a day and a half...a day and a half. 

Humans have a short lifetime because of Edens sin. This is why Salvation is important to resolve today. 

We are created humans who have a lifespan limit in this temporary body. God is God & eternal so he can go into a human body He created to accomplish something and go back Home to Heavens Throne 😊.

Jesus accomplished the work on the cross. The sacrificial lamb must be slaughtered, He must fulfill all the OT prophecy perfectly, and He did. His blood was shed for us. 

Jews count days differently than we do. So in the west we count that as 2 days. 

Doesnt matter. No one survived crucifixion in Roman Empire. Not one. 

Jesus rose from the dead because 1. He is God, 2. He had completed the Mission the Father gave Him and was given authority to take up that human body again, and 3. Had victory over death and the grave, so we also do when we come to salvation. We die to our old self and are raised to new life. 

7- it's in God's hands.

Well then how did God allow all these evil people to rise to power? 

I know you will say free choice. 

But then that takes the free choice from others so that answer doesn't hold water. 

That phrase is used to cover a vast number of Scriptures that say God is Sovereign so He is in control and we can trust in Him that all things will work out in the end for good. 

You absolutely have the free choice to turn to Jesus today. No one is stopping you, you are stopping yourself. He isnt taking that from you, He wont force you, but as your Creator He knows you are spiritually blind, because you are dead in trespasses (spiritually dead), and cannot comprehend anything related to spirituality unless He gives you light. He gives lite light and later more light, and reveals more and more, and by that (through Christians, truth and Scripture and the Gospel) He leads you to Himself. Even when we are His enemies HE IS STILL drawing us to Himself. We do not deserve it, but He is the Good God who cares about us. 

You just need to throw your self-righteousness and pride down, the bitterness and hate too, throw the weapons down and defect from Satan to God.  Come to Him.  You have His promise that He will Save you. 

 Obey the Gospel  << 😊

Then Read the Bible daily, and obey what you read. Not out of obligation, but because when you were converted, you were converted from a lover of sin, to a lover of Righteousness. You have new desires that are God focused and you love God and Jesus, so naturally you desire to do what it says. Your radically changed and your worldview and beliefs about all things now align with what God has said is good, true and right.
