Belief Follows Truth: The Lord Wins Our Battles.

The Truth: The Lord is more than capable to win our battles. He is a fighter for those who love Him and He wins every time.
Skeptics can also be winners for it's not God's desire that any of them should be lost but come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. This includes Richard Dawkins.

"The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance." 2 Peter 3:9

"For I have no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Lord God; so turn, and live.” Ezekiel 18:32

"All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out." John 6:37

2Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, 2for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. 3For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 1 Timothy 2:1-4

Ignorance of God and His Word can even warp the minds of brilliant scientists as demonstrated here with Richard Dawkins. It's plain to see that he's no psychologist. It's obvious that Richard is a victim of brainwashing by the lies of men and is unable to think for himself in the salvation of God. The Truth is not in him.

One thought on “Richard Dawkins on Christians: “mock them. ridicule them. in public. with contempt.””

Richard demonstrates his frustration at the feeble attempt to change the lies of men into truth and is unable to do it. This is why he tells his followers to do the same since they can't accomplish this task as well. As brilliant as Richard is in science, he's a novice when it comes to his knowledge of the Truth.

How sad for Dawkins. One day he will realise he was wrong

Sadly for him it'll be one day too late

@Sharon so do you believe you will see Odin when you die?

Sharon · F

@TheWildEcho I don't know but, if I do, at least I shan't have pissed Him off by spending my life worshipping a false god.

No, he's right about evolution.
Someone who disbelieves evolution is either too stupid to understand the evidence, ignorant of the balance of evidence or religiously motivated to ignore contradictory evidence.
Might Dawkins be wrong about the god of the Bible being the one true god while all other gods are just imagination? Maybe.

But he's not going to end up being wrong about evolution any more than he's going to end up being wrong about gravity.
Y'all seem to forget that an evolution-denying interpretation of Genesis has no bearing on salvation.
Ain't no one going to hell for being convinced that god created life using evolution as his tool.

TheWildEcho · 56-60, M

@Pikachu in your opinion maybe

Not in mine!!

Then when are you guys going to see what the Truth that the evidence in science presents instead of looking for your worldly views?

TheWildEcho · 56-60, M

@GodSpeed63 yes you're right there!

Im not surprised in this day and age that people call us stupid for believing the word of God, I find it quite ironic because we won't be the ones looking stupid in the end like those who have rejected His salvation.

You got that right, brother. Amen!

@Pikachu if you reject the first chapter of the bible you might as well reject it all! If evolution happened then death occurred long before mankind arrived on the scene. According to God's word there was no death till the fall of man, and that was the result of sin, if death had been happening for many years then it was nothing to do with sin and the reason Jesus came was to set us free from the power of sin which started in the garden of Eden. That's the theme for the whole Bible
I don't understand your comment about hell and believing, you seem to know how God will judge people when you don't believe He exists and spend ages on here trying to convince yourself and others He doesn't exist!!

Sharon · F

@TheWildEcho Where's your evidence to support any of that? You and those like you keep making these wild assertions but are invariably completely unable to present a single shred of evidence to back any of them up. As your mate @GodSpeed63 would say, until you can prove what you say, you're just whistling in the wind.

TheWildEcho · 56-60, M

@Sharon I'm simply replying to another person. My evidence is the way I have seen God change so many people's lives for the better, mine included.
I'm not making wild assertions, I'm simply sharing my beliefs

Sharon · F

@TheWildEcho As you would say, in your opinion maybe. Not in mine!!

TheWildEcho · 56-60, M

@Sharon exactly!! I'm sharing my beliefs, I'm not forcing them on anyone.

Sharon · F

@TheWildEcho You're making assertions you can't back up. My evidence is the way I have seen a belief in the christian god ruin so many people's lives and destroy families. I'm just sharing my beliefs, you understand.

GodSpeed63 · 61-69, M

@Sharon

You're making assertions you can't back up

Look who's talking. You've seen man made religion ruin people's lives, not God.

Sharon · F

@GodSpeed63 As there is no evidence your god thing even exists, of course it can't do anything.

And certainly there are a minority of Christians who feel very strongly about that but let me put it to you simply and do please answer this question directly: Is salvation based on repenting of your sins, accepting Jesus as Lord and believing that by His blood your sins are forgiven...or is it based on accepting Genesis as a literal description of creation?

I think you know the answer to that.
And if you answer as any honest Christian must, i'd be interested to hear your answer to the follow up question: Do you believe that Christians can believe the former without believing the latter?

you don't believe He exists and spend ages on here trying to convince yourself and others He doesn't exist!!

You're mistaken there.
If you can find one single post of mine wherein i try to convince people that god does not exist then i'll concede right here and now.
Don't let your irritation with my line of argumentation allow you to paint me with the same brush that you might use to paint more evangelical atheists 😉

TheWildEcho · 56-60, M

@Pikachu well you're certainly trying to convince me that God's word isn't true!!

Sharon · F

@TheWildEcho In the same way that you are trying to convince others that your god is real.

Pikachu

@TheWildEcho

I'm really not. I'm trying to convince you that a very specific interpretation of the Bible is neither supported by science nor integral to salvation as a Christian.

I'm not trying to have a fight with you, i'm trying to have a discussion with you. I'm not your enemy, i'm just a person with whom you disagree.

So please, the questions i put to you. Will you show me the respect of answering them?

TheWildEcho · 56-60, M

@Pikachu I'm not prepared to accept a watered down version of God's word. I've seen many liberal churches do that, they are now houses, dance halls and Indian restaurants. I'm not prepared to compromise my beliefs

Pikachu

@TheWildEcho

I can see that you hold a strong conviction in your beliefs.
But i can also see that you're avoiding my questions.

Please show me that you're meeting with me in good faith.
I'm going to put these questions to you again and i hope that you will answer them directly and with honesty.

Is salvation based on repenting of your sins, accepting Jesus as Lord and believing that by His blood your sins are forgiven...or is it based on accepting Genesis as a literal description of creation?

I think you know the answer to that.
And if you answer as any honest Christian must, i'd be interested to hear your answer to the follow up question: Do you believe that Christians can believe the former without believing the latter?

TheWildEcho · 56-60, M

@Pikachu you are just trying to catch me out, I've explained about death not occuring before the fall
Why so obsessed with genesis1? If I said I believed in evolution you would then try to get me to doubt the rest of God's word, like this flood, the resurrection and future judgement

Pikachu

@TheWildEcho

you are just trying to catch me out

I've told you i'm not your enemy. I'm not trying to trick you.
I have a position which i have made clear and i'm asking you a question the answer to which i think we agree and which also undermines your position.
I'm not trying to catch you out because that implies deceit. I'm only trying to make my case.

If you're confident that your position is legitimate then there is no reason you should hesitate to answer my question.
I will ask you one more time and if you again refuse to answer it then i can only conclude that you are neither debating in good faith nor treating me with the same respect with which i have treated you and our interaction must necessarily end on an unfortunately sour note.
I don't want that.
I don't think you want that.
I'm not demanding that here and now you renounce your position and tell me i'm right...i just ask you to be honest with me, to answer the questions honestly (with God as your witness, if that helps).

1) Is salvation based on repenting of your sins, accepting Jesus as Lord and believing that by His blood your sins are forgiven...or is it based on accepting Genesis as a literal description of creation?
2) Do you believe that Christians can believe the former without believing the latter?

It's up to you, bud.
Are you fighting me or are you talking to me?
