Belief Follows Truth: Why do the Skeptics make futile attempts to make fun of those who believe?
Why do they make fun of us? Is it because they think we don’t understand that they’re hurting and they’re lashing out at God? Let the reader know that we hurt also and we tend to get angry with God at times because we do not understand His ways. Yet, we believe that God reassures us in due time and that we will understand and be comforted.
Let the reader also know that there is a difference between getting angry and getting hateful. Anger does not distort the mind but hatred does distort the mind. As God’s Word says, “Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on your wrath. Ephesians 4:26 His Word also says, But they have done this to fulfill the word that is written in their Law, ‘They hated Me without a cause.’ John 15:25 And, His Word also says in John 15:18: “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. Through their hatred toward God and toward us, they have ridiculed, mocked, and insulted us in vain. They think that by not believing in God that they can’t hate Him which is a lie. The truth is, that their non-belief toward God is a testimony to their hatred toward Him. They may beg to differ but they can't change the truth.
18For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 20For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse. Romans 1:18-21
And, 1Only fools say in their hearts, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and their actions are evil; not one of them does good! Psalm 14:1
Their futile mocking includes their ignorant knowledge of God’s Word and they arrogantly display that ignorance in their attempt to discredit Him. They also try to fit the one true God, Yahweh, into their agenda of false gods, including those they’ve made up themselves thinking that this will somehow justify their non-belief in Him. To their frustration, they find that it is impossible to do. Disbelief in God doesn't mean that He's not there.
5 I am the Lord, and there is no other; There is no God besides Me. I will gird you, though you have not known Me, 6That they may know from the rising of the sun to its setting That there is none besides Me. I am the Lord, and there is no other;
7I form the light and create darkness, I make peace and create calamity; I, the Lord, do all these things.’ Isaiah 45:5-7
Skeptics have nothing to support what they believe, and yet, they still make fun of us who believe. Dejection,They’re like filthy pirates on a sinking ship mocking those who sank them. Will they ever learn the Truth?
