Atheists are Liars They Know Who God is and Hate Him

I have never seen an atheist oppose dramatically ferry tales. They don't give them a second thought. Anyone who claims to be an atheist is lying, they know there is a God and is fighting against Him.

Atheists know that God is real and the ferry stories are not, so the stories are not threatening but God Whom they have no power over is very threatening.

Have you ever had someone deny you in the sense that they demean, mock, dismiss and become angry over everything you say and do, even the most insignificant things? I have experienced this many times in my life and have come to realize this is how the rebellious heart treats God.

Those who know God is more powerful than they are mock and demean in subtle ways such as denying God said something when He did. They will change His Words in the Bible and seek out false teachers to make it appear as though they love Him but in reality, they are attempting to change Him into their own likeness.

Those who snatch passages out of context in the Bible to make them say what they personally like or to fit the culture they live in, are denying Christ. Then there are those ho add to the Bible by ignoring whole passages that would clarify God's true meaning.

I am not a fan of Bible studies that claim to go "verse by verse" this is an irresponsible way of handling God's Word. Every verse must be read in the context of the whole passage and then in the context of the entire Bible. This takes study and the reason so many people get so much wrong because they are lazy in their studies if it can even be called a study. They allow others to tell them what to believe without questioning what is said. And, often they believe what they like or are familiar with not what God said.

2 Timothy 2:15 "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."

1 Thessalonians 5:20-22 "…20 Do not treat prophecies with contempt, 21 but test all things. Hold fast to what is good. 22 Abstain from every form of evil.…"

Paul was a preacher of the gospel led by the Holy Spirit and yet the Bereans wanted to make sure He was telling the truth by going to the scriptures themselves, just as we should do.

Acts 17:10-11 "10 As soon as night had fallen, the brothers sent Paul and Silas away to Berea. On arriving there, they went into the Jewish synagogue. 11 Now the Bereans were more noble-minded than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if these teachings were true."

We have an obligation to God to seek the Holy Spirit whenever anyone tells us something about the Bible. We will either know the Bible well enough to accept or reject what we heard or we will rush to prayer asking the Holy Spirit for what we are not sure of or what He is warning us about.

Many times preachers who were thought of as more knowledgeable than I and others, who said things that the Holy Spirit warned me about. When I was unsettled about what was being said I would go to prayer and study and find out something was wrong with it and the Holy Spirit gave me the answer.

We are all teachers to some degree if we are walking with Christ, but we must challenge one another when something is unclear or something is believed that was not in the Bible.

The Christian church is full of false beliefs that undermine the Word of God but the people think are wise. When we believe what we are told without question, we disobey the Word of God that commands us to test everything.

1 Thessalonians 5:21

"21 but examine everything; hold firmly to that which is good,"

Once the Lord has shown us the truth, we can never be convinced of anything else and easily see when something is wrong.

Galatians 6:7-8

"Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life."

We will speak and act out the WAY we think. If we think with the mind of Christ dismissing all that is worldly we will act like Christ. If we think like the world we will act the way the culture acts and not according to truth.
