Sharing the Gospel with atheists

[kwikphilly]

Blessings hamletcat.....

    I never nhave approached anyone(unbeliever),nor have I ever been lead or prompted to by the Pwer of the Holy Spirit ,addressing their sinful ways or lifestyle,,,,,,they do not need axny more sin condemnation that they already put on themselves or does the adversary......don't be surprised that they know very well what is sin & what is not,,,,,,,,,,,,,& that there is a God,Creator God

     As I said ,your walk is key....your love, acceptance & forgiveness............you tell them how much they are loved,that Christ loves them & died for them exactly as they are          babies drink milk

    I mean no disrespect but by you saying you only know to refer (or quote Scripture)....or desire to enlighten them to their sin only makes me believe that you are min the way of the Holy Spirit,do you know  I mean? You have to trust what the Lord can do with you,not decide how you what the Lord to draw men unto Himself or convict hearts,,,,,,,,,get out of the way,an open ,empty vessel is much easier to fill

                                                                                                    With love-in Christ,Kwik

 

This morning on of my Sisters & I were discussing someone that is probably a spammer,,,,,,,,,,if so,the mods will catch it right away,maybe an unbeliever,just not teachable or receptive....do we decide  how to approach her?Don't bother?Quote Scripture & condemn her?  Of course not,we pray for her don't engage in debate & continue to be kind,the Holy Spirit will lead when you yourself remain teachable.......takes a lot of prayer and communication with our Lord(relationship)

And We Can Stand With You

 

And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken. Ecclesiastes 4:12

[JohnD]

Atheism has many varieties depending on the strength of one's personal resolve to defy the living God who mane them and everything around them to exist. Seldom (if ever) is human resolve cut-and-dry (either / or). There's always a fudge factor or underlying doubt. Even in the faith there are doubts, concerns, fears... or we'd all be grabbing people by the neck ties / lapels and warning them about hellfire with a scary look on our faces...

 

"Repent!"

 

But even with the most assured atheist there is uncertainty... as with us all... which is why it is such a blessing to have the Word of God and the Holy Spirit active in our lives to bolster our faith. Truth is the only real foundation. God is truth. And with all these comes proof after proof to affirm our faith in Jesus Christ.  Or as Missler puts it, "believing is seeing." Atheists (or more accurately I-theists meaning they have determined there is no god so the by their personal determination fill the role as god) have none of these affirmations none of these assurances. And no matter how convinced they are, you can at least plant a seed of doubt in their "fortified" world view.

 

There's a crack in your fort, pal. Biogenesis is a subject itheists run from. "No one can know how it all began..." Bible says how it began. Bible withstood the test of time and scrutiny. Genesis is an eyewitness account dictated to Moses the scribe of that Eyewitness. Science cannot undermine Bible creation account as it can other creation accounts of false religions (including macro-evolution).

 

And the bottom line here is witness to them, try to win them to Christ... then move on. Keep trying only if God tasks you to... keep praying if the Spirit leads you to. But do not invest you otherwise successful evangelism talents and efforts on those who refuse to believe.

 

Some of the best reading / video resources you can at least off an itheist are the testimonies of former itheists (Josh McDowell, Dr. A.E. Widler-Smith etc).

It takes a thief to catch a thief.

 

There are a number of ex-Atheists who found Jesus, some of them were fiercely militant Atheists too. They are the best people to ask because they understand Atheist logic and Atheist apologetics.

 

Go to You Tube and type in "atheist finds Jesus" or similar. Some of the videos tell you everything you need to know.

You won't convert any Atheists, as they have their common sense still intact.

Notice hamletcat, their are no Atheists posters here. You may ask why is that? Well the simple answer is, it is very easy to defeat Christian beliefs on common sense alone. That's why Atheist posters are deleted or banned and do not feature on this forum.

This member was banned for many reasons years ago, since 2011.  Since then, this member has returned more times than I can count, never to discuss, only to demean and tell us how we are so wrong having faith in God.  This member, in their own mind, believes that we have no answer for their questions and that we ban them because of this.  The fact is, anyone who continues to break the Terms of Service is banned, despite what they believe or disbelieve, yet, this is above this members ability to comprehend.  The proof is in every one of the posts this member makes.

 

I have removed the personal insults and attacks this member had made toward those who have given reasons of faith.  I am leaving this post up so you can familiarize yourself with how this member posts.  If someone comes in here with this kind of attitude, please, let us know by reporting the post. ***

Their was actually more to the post above, none which contained any insults, but we're in response to JTC and Oakwood posts. Onelight was scared of my response, hence the remainder was deleted. He will also not repost what I said, due to exposing the lie he just told that all my posts are insults.

If we look at the forum as a whole. Their are no Atheist posts at all. So onelight either deems no Atheists come to the forum, which of course is not the case. Or all Atheists that have posted are insulting, which is simply unrealistic.

So we can clearly see Christians are scared of what other people post as they feel so insecure in their beliefs.

It is also funny when a Christian insults a Atheist, their posts are edited but not banned.

So we can clearly see Christians are....

Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.

 

For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. 2 Corinthians 5:20-21

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,

 

that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16

Well this is all very enlightning. Thank you everyone. I used to think I was an "atheist," but since starting to read the bible, going to church and talking to other Christians, I have discovered that I was never really an "atheist" I just thought I was. I will say I was not on track to the gift of eternal life, because I was in the dark, however that is because I believed I was an atheist and therefore lived that way.

I still function around atheists most often in my daily life and my hope is to one day bring them from the dark into light. The way it happened for me, but of course, I also realize that it might be difficult, so these posts really help in my quest to do that.

It is too bad that things can get "messy" with online forums, because I find them a great source of information and they really help me. I hope I never do anything to get banned. I try to be as respectful as possible because I appreciate people's opinions. I am not sure what a personal attack is, or what it looks like. If someone wants to give me some examples or a link, that would be great.
