I strongly believe that the greatest threat to the world right now is not Islam. It is not Hinduism. It is not Catholicism. It is ATHEISM. I know without a doubt that the One World Government, when it is established, will be a form of Hyper-Humanism. It will exalt man as God, and dethrone God. That is the very heart of atheism. A peaceful atheist is content not knowing anything about God because he really has no need to believe in God. But a religiously zealous atheist wants nothing more than to see God dethroned, and man exalted. It is quite hellish to say the least.

So you want proof there is a God?

I'll give you proof.

But you know what? It still won't change your mind.

How do I know? Because the Bible says this:

"And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead." - Luke 16:31

I know that it won't change your mind because Jesus told us through a parable about a rich man who went to hell, that even though God would raise someone from the dead, it would not be enough to convince someone otherwise to repent of their sins and trust in God! The bottom line of the parable was that if people do not listen to what the BIBLE has to say about God, about heaven, about hell; then it doesn't matter what else God does, because it won't avail to ANYTHING.

You can read the parable in Luke chapter 16, verses 19 through 31.

Take this food for thought. God was actually phyisically present by a pillar of cloud by day, and a pillar of fire by night with the children of Israel (the Jews) when they exited the land of Egypt. They literally heard his voice from heaven.

Yet, it still wasn't enough for them. God still called them children in whom is no faith (Deuteronomy 32:20).

"The LORD talked with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire..." - Deuteronomy 5:4

God reappeared to the Jews over a thousand years later, and do you know what they did to him then? They crucified him!

He is coming again, and the world will make war with him.

Over and over we can see throughout history that the issue is not, "Is there a God?" The issue is, "When will man love God and obey his voice?"

"Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools." - Romans 1:22

Indeed, scientists and college professors all SEEM to be wise, right? I mean, they are educated. They're successful. They're rich. Why wouldn't they be smart?

Perhaps it is because of pride. They are so full of themselves that they can't see the truth. The truth that God really did create this whole world, and that they are totally wrong in rejecting him.

I mean, really, if you are so smart, then tell me what the point of living is? To live a brief life of 70 years, and then pass on?

Why bother living an honest, moral life? Why stay faithful to your spouse?

What's the point?

Why not live like there is no tomorrow? Eat, drink, borrow thousands of dollars in credit card loans, and never pay them back. Why not? Who cares?

There's no heaven. No hell. No God. Right?

"12 Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.
13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day." - Joshua 10:12-13

Here we read in the book of Joshua about God hearkening, or, listening to the voice of a man. Essentially, Joshua prayed to God and requested that the sun stand still and he also spoke to the sun and moon. There are two possibilities about how this event occurred. Number 1, regardless if the earth revolves around the sun or not, we can all agree that it certainly appears to the naked eye that the sun does indeed rise in the east, and sets in the west. In other words, the chronicler was simply recording what happened that day as they understood it from the human perspective, that is, that the sun did indeed stand still. Number 2, the other possibility is that the earth is not moveable and that the sun instead revolves around the earth. This is what philosophers and scientists refer to as the Geocentric Theory. Which means that when the sun stood still, it literally stood still in space.

There are 2 theories in regards to the revolution of the earth around the sun. That is the Heliocentric Theory in which the earth revolves around the sun, and the Geocentric Theory in which the sun revolves around the earth. Both theories are unproven and provide equally legitimate explanations. The current theory that is taught more widely today is the Heliocentric Theory. If we take this viewpoint, we can agree that it would appear that, yes, the sun indeed stood still as the Bible records. In fact, some speculate that the very reason why we have a "leap year" is due in part to this very event in which God commanded the sun to stand still "about a whole day." Every 4 years, we add a "whole day" to our calendars in the month of February. Jesus said, "Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive." - Matthew 21:21-22

To explain how evolution is impossible, let's take for example an XBOX 360. Let's give it a female counterpart for good luck. If you put them in a house full of food and fresh water, and then give them millions of years, do you think they will ever give birth to a Play Station 3?

No, of course not. The same impossibility applies to any animal today. If you take two dogs, and let them breed for millions of years, are they ever going to produce a non-dog? Like a bird, or a chimpanzee? No, of course not. They will always give birth to a dog.

Here's another example:

Now, my wife is black, and I am white. And the odds of her giving birth to a child... that has wings... is slim to none. Now, in evolution the change has to be beneficial to the species. And flying would be a great benefit. But that's impossible... UNLESS... WE TRY OVER AND OVER AGAIN FOR MILLIONS OF YEARS!

Yes, that's it! The magic formula for evolution is MILLIONS OF YEARS!

We can clearly see from these two examples that evolution is impossible. There is absolutely no logical proof for evolution.

ConceptGaming - So I read threw your article. Believe me, I was truly saved, and all I wanted to do was be the best christian I could be.
Another thing, in the Unites States, atheists are the most hated minority.

bprice144 says - c0nceptGaming, you were not truly saved. I am sorry. But you cannot convince me that you ever knew the Lord, because on judgment day, you will hear Jesus say to you, "I NEVER knew you. Depart from me ye that work iniquity." - Matthew 7:23
If he never knew you, then I think that says it all. You were never his, otherwise, you would have continued with us.

"38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul." - Hebrews 10:38-39

Notice it says, we are not of them who draw back unto perdition, which word means utter loss or ruin. Which is what happened to you. You were never saved to begin with because we true Christians are not of you who draw back to perdition.

The Bible also says we are kept by the power of God in 1 Peter chapter 1. So no matter how much you or any other atheist may fight against God to snatch us out of his hands, you will never succeed because Jesus said, "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand." - John 10:27-28.

Likewise, you are absolutely wrong about atheists being the most hated minority group. True, born again, Bible believing Christians are the most hated minority group, because again, Jesus said, "And ye shall be hated of ALL MEN for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved." - Matthew 10:22.

If atheists were so hated and despised by the world, then why do we have a secular government, a secular school system, and why is secular humanism the only acceptable way to be in America and in any other prosperous nation? If you believe in God, you are looked at like an idiot.
