Of Atheist and God
Peter John Kreeft said,
“Atheism is cheap on people through because it snobbishly says nine out of ten people through history have been wrong about God and have had a lie at the core of their hearts.” Peter John Kreeft ph.d.
The Psalmist states,
“The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” Psalm 14:1.
Most people I meet who claim to be atheist simply haven’t taken the time to find out for themselves anything about God.
The ones I would call true atheist are as Kreeft put it “snobbishly saying nine out of ten people throughout history have been wrong about God”
They have made themselves judge and jury. In doing so they have essentially put themselves in the position of being a god. For to say there is no God is to say I have been everywhere and know everything.
For to say absolutely that there is no God one must have been everywhere because the one place the person may not have been may very well be the place God is. And we know for a fact no one living today has gone beyond the grave.
I make no apologies I am a Christian I believe there is a God that loves us and has prepared a place for those who would have faith in Him.
I believe God went to the extreme of entering the world he created in the form of His one and only Son Jesus to point mankind to Himself the writer of Hebrews telling us,
“In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe.
The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.” Hebrews 1:1-3
All it takes on our part to get to heaven is faith in Christ. The writer of Hebrews telling us.
Perhaps that however is the point. God knows those who have faith in anything are the true believers.
Please think about it.

“And without faith it is impossible to please God,
because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists
and that he rewards
those who earnestly seek him.”
Hebrews 11:6.
Faith being defined as,
“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for
and certain of what we do not see.”
Hebrews 11:1
I know for many who do not believe in God it is hard to have faith in someone you cannot see feel or hear.Perhaps that however is the point. God knows those who have faith in anything are the true believers.
