God Will Never Stop Loving Us

[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myP9Mvs1sOk]

Skeptics will try to discredit Him but He loves them anyway.

Skeptics will try to believe that He doesn't live but He loves them anyway.

Skeptics will attempt to use science to explain away Him but He loves them anyway.

Skeptics will sneer at Him, use His name in vain, mock Him, ridicule Him, and do all kinds of hateful things towards Him but He loves them anyway.

God loves the skeptics no less and no more than He loves believers.

I think the real question is, do you love skeptics? The way that you talk about skeptics, I'm not sure that you actually know any. No one sneers at an entity they don't believe exists. Just sayin.

Sure I do which is why I present the truth of God to them.

@GodSpeed63 How many skeptics would you count among your friends?

I have four brothers-law, my son, 4 or 5 neighbors, and a friend at church.

@GodSpeed63 I'm glad to hear that. I have trouble believing that they actually sneer at God, or that they mock and ridicule God or do hateful things towards God. Just as you and I do not do those things toward Zeus or Odin, my experience is that skeptics do not generally have negative emotions towards a god they don't believe exists.

They may well have negative emotions about the doctrines of the church. Particularly the church's historical stand on LGBTQ issues or on women. And that view that if you don't believe the right thing, you're doomed to hell. Of course most skeptics are going to have big issues with those things. But a skeptic's ire is generally directed towards ideas, not towards your god.

They don't understand sin and that my ideas, as you put it, are not my own. When I became born again, God gave me His Holy Spirit of Truth through Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior. It's this Truth that He has established that I share on here. God loves you and all He asks is your love for Him in return.

@GodSpeed63 I think they understand that your ideas are not your own. The disagreement is over whose ideas they are. You say they come from the Holy Spirit. A skeptic might say they come from your interpretation of an iron age text that might not deserve the authority you invest into it.

They have yet to show that is true.

@GodSpeed63 I have Muslim friends who would claim that you must likewise demonstrate that the Qur'an is not true. No, the burden of proof is on the one who claims their Holy Book is from God, not on the one who is skeptical of that claim.

I beg to differ. If the truth were to be revealed then burden of proof is on both parties. However, without the Spirit of God, no man can know the truth. There's a difference between being religious and having a relationship with our Father in Heaven.
