Re: Att. ATHEISTS: What is the Purpose of your SAD,Sorry lives?

I find you're way of thinking rather interesting. You are quoting The Old Testament as if you are giving away lollipops on a children's birthday. If we would still be living in the age of the old testament I would fully agree with you, but with the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ a whole new era has begun: the end of times(which actually started since the birth of Jesus, but lets take it from his death and resurrection just for convenience)

Please explain how you reconcile your above statement with that of Jesus in Matthew 5:17-18.

17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

Correct me if I am wrong, I am human so I do make mistakes, but wasn't it Jesus who said to love your neighbour the same way you love yourself?

And I do. If I were on a path to eternal torment, I'd want someone to warn me! Wouldn't you?

Wasn't it Jesus who told to forgive 7*70 times?

That's a rule for humans, not for Him. He doesn't have to forgive any more than He wishes.

And tell me, wasn't it the same Jesus who said that if you get hit or struck present him(your "wrongdo-er" your other cheek aswell?

Yes, and you've horribly misunderstood it.

My interpretation of this is that Jesus, and with him our God, is a great God of love, compassion and joy. I do not deny the fact that he has another side as well, to which is referred more than often i this topic.

But hasn't he said that he gives everyone(including Atheïsts) the chance to turn around and accept him? Does he not have the same compassion for us as he has for the sinner with whom you might work? Does he not have the same compassion for you as a true christian as he has for that girl who is forced to prostitute?

No girl is forced to be a prostitute. She chooses to be a prostitute.

No atheist is forced not to believe. He chooses not to believe.

They both make their choices, and in those choices they reject God. Therefore, He will burn them alive for all time in His Lake of Fire, because He hates them.

I never said I knew better than God, for I do not. I never claimde that I did, so your post is not really valid...

Noah Sole, I do not say we have to disregard the old testament. But it was Jesus who said that new Wine does not fit in old Wine sacks and old Wine does not fit in new Wine sacks.

Alphonse Alban and Rev M. Rodimer, thanks for correcting me. I did Somers research and you both are right. I entirely left out the definition of "atheïst" in me previous post and now I see it had little to do witheet atheïsm.. Though I remain THE same on my view on THE prostitute, but that is because in my country they ARE forced to prostitute...

One more thing, I never claimed to follow bits of the bible, I just wrote my post more or less out of one part of the bible. And I yet stay by my view that we should spread the word to everyone, atheïst or not.

I always find that Old Wine tastes better because it has had time to mature. Remember that Psalms tells us the words of the Lord must be preserved forever, they are as relevant as anything from the New Testament.

Psalm 12:6-7 "The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever."

[Rev. Edward Clement]

Re: Att. ATHEISTS: What is the Purpose of your SAD,Sorry lives?

So instead of ramping on on how they will be judged. Instead of gloating over their already dead bodies(and souls), I really do suggest we take up our arms and start spreading the word. Even among Atheïsts, as they too are children of our lord.

These are just my five cents,

The Lord does not care about your five cents.

Proverbs
3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

Anfurthermore, even in the New Testament the Lord does not offer second chances as you suggest.

Acts
5:1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
5:2 And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet.
5:3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
5:4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.
5:5 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.
5:6 And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him.
5:7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.
5:8 And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.
5:9 Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.
5:10 Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband.

Again the Lord is not slack concerning his promise of God's Wrath upon atheists.

John
3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

The text from Psalms, it rather opened my eyes.

Rev. Edward Clement, I never said God gives second chances and I never intended to make people think that I said that. All I said is that We(Christians) should give them another chance, and another, and another untill it is too late(for I do believe that non-believers will have an eternal death). That is all I intended to say in my post. For we can change those people, yet only with the power and grace of God.

Mark 6:11 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them.

Jesus said that the message should be told and if they do not listen then move on.

Whether god exists or not I would still want to know how it functions.

What's to understand? Be a devout Christian or burn in hell. You don't need to know how God functions. He's supernatural anyway. You can't understand how God functions or why God does what he does.

Heretic! You are in no place to make demands of how the Lord does things for he is sovereign. That means, he is GOD and you ain't!

You are trying to raise yourself up to his level as satan did!

Isaiah
14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 14:13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
14:15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
14:16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
14:17 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?
14:18 All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house.
14:19 But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.

Do you even read what I say? Or do you just need someone to shout at? I NEVER raised myself up to God's level nor will I ever try that. I would like you to cite the exact part where I so called raise myself up to God's level, I would also like to see some of your arguments on how I supposedly did that, for now you are just insulting me without ANY proper reason.

I am merely trying to discuss in this topic, I clearly admitted I do NOT understand everything and I won't understand everything. Yet you are accusing me of such things?

I am sorry to say, but I can't really be bothered with this discussion anymore, it saddens me to see that Rev. Edward Clement is accusing me of such things...

Hello again MJJBoy

I am glad that the verse from Psalms has opened your eyes. Do you see now that we don't hand out Old Testament quotes 'like lollipops'. We consider that all of the Bible is God's word and as such must be followed to the letter.
Some of His instructions may be unpalatable to today's liberal, wishy washy, fluffy bunny Christians who skip over bits of the Bible they don't like.

We on the other hand follow his word, all of it, even the 'difficult' bits. We are only doing as we are told - is there something wrong with that?

All the best
