3rd Generation Atheist Meets Jesus, Gets Shown The Door

@@sarahsmilecards1228 Please provide your top 3 reasons to believe in the supernatural claims of the bible.

[@sarahsmilecards1228]

@@Jonas-gl9ke Thank you for your question. Please read all of my reply before making up your mind. If someone does not want to believe, they will not believe regardless of the evidence or even the presence of miracles. Many do not want to believe because they want to avoid being held accountable to God for their transgressions against Him or they want to continue in those transgressions. We can’t escape God. All of us have broken His laws. Who among us has never told a lie or taken something that didn’t belong to them or taken God’s name in vain or looked with lust? When we do these things, we separate ourselves from Holy God. When we break a law, we must pay the consequences. No matter how many good things we may have done or plan to do, it does not change the fact that we broke the law. We may rationalize that we haven’t done anything that bad, but anything that separates from God (our life source) is immeasurably bad. The good news is that He loves us so much that he took our punishment on Himself thereby providing a way for us to be made right with Him and gain eternal life. All we must do is acknowledge we have broken His law and repent (say we are sorry and turn from doing these things) then believe that Jesus took our punishment on Himself so we might gain eternal life. This is when a miracle happens, and our spirit comes alive. We are made new, and our thoughts and desires change from wanting to sin to seeing how bad it really is. Now, on to answer your question. I hope you will hear and listen. There are so many reasons to believe in God (who is supernatural) that it is difficult for me to just give you three alone, but I will try to give my top three. First, logically speaking, it is not reasonable to believe that all of creation with its vast complexity and diversity was created by nothing. Nothing cannot create anything because it is nothing. Here is a poor analogy: If you came home and found a beautifully wrapped present there, would you automatically assume that the wind from a fan or a draft had blown the wrapping paper and tape together into a beautifully wrapped gift? Of course not, you would automatically assume that someone wrapped it and put it there for you. I say this is a poor analogy because the materials to create the wrapped gift is already in existence. God created the stuff that makes the stuff we see! That is supernatural! Second, historically speaking, there were many times when God predicted the future. Only God can tell us a thing before it happens. Here is just one example: The Old Testament prophets (speaking what God told them to speak) tell us that the nation of Israel would be destroyed and carried away by another nation. They also tell us (thousands of years before the events happened) that the nation of Israel would be revived again and that the Jewish people who had been dispersed across the world would return. These two things happened after the prophecies. The Babylonians came in and destroyed Israel (Jerusalem) in 586 B.C. and took them captive to Babylon. For thousands of years Israel did not exist. Then, in 1948 A.D., Israel came back. It was a barren wasteland, but God made it bloom again. (metaphorically and literally). Jesus told his disciples that the temple would be destroyed and not one stone would be left standing. This actually happened in 70 A.D. when the Romans destroyed Israel. Jesus himself split time in two (B.C and A.D.). It is amazing to me how Jesus changes everything. This leads me to the third reason. Jesus changes people in miraculous supernatural ways. I’ve seen this happen to people today, it happened to me, and it happened to Jesus disciples. His disciples were terrified after he was crucified. They were hiding out and laying low, afraid they would be the next to be crucified. But the amazing thing is that their actions changed after the resurrected Jesus appeared to them in His own body. They suddenly began teaching in public about Jesus. Now, I don’t know about you, but I would not be willing to be crucified for something I knew was a lie. The change in the disciples tells me that they experienced a miracle when they saw the resurrected Jesus. He can give you your own miracle by making you a new person with a new heart and mind. Let Him in. He loves you. He has only good things to offer you.

Dawkins’ “Best Evidence for Evolution” disappears before his eyes. Famous Evangelical atheist Richard Dawkins used to teach that the “best evidence for evolution” was that organisms; which were similar to each other have similar DNA. This is pure supposition and absolute speculation driven by a passion to obliterate God from the equation of life. Richard Dawkins claimed that genetic research proved Darwin’s tree of life; nothing could be further from the truth. These claims were made before we learned more about DNA and RNA and in 2009 he got his book published: “The Greatest Show on Earth” in which he taught that Darwin’s Tree of Life was supported by the pattern of resemblances, that you see when you compare genes. The fossil record does not support Darwin’s Tree of Life, because there is no evidence of transitional fossils in the actual earth’s geology demonstrating evolution. There is no evidence that plants and animals diversified from a Common Ancestor over millions of years, being due to imaginary evolution. In 2009, the same year, New Scientist magazine ran an article with the title: “Why Darwin was wrong about the Tree of Life.” In it, scientists stated that the Tree of Life was “mis-leading” because Darwin’s theory limits and even obscures the study of organisms and their ancestries end of quote. The “best evidence for creation” is the fossil record, finding only fully formed organisms in Cambrian rocks. Our technology has advanced to such a stage that we can now “read” the genes of many different species and it is even clearer now that Dawkins’ “Best Evidence for Evolution” does not exist. Now scientists have sequenced a great number of genomes belonging to different organisms. Casey Luskin, Associated Director of the Center for Science and Culture, wrote for Evolution News, that Dawkins was wrong! Every gene does not deliver approximately the same Tree of Life end of quote. DNA research does not show a Tree of Life. But what is described as “bushes of life” meaning no branching as in Darwin’s Tree of Life, but organisms that reflect the fossil record throughout time with minor variations, these are attributed to kinds within species due to genetic variety until they went extinct. “Genes are dissimilar in their development and unique as they form into the embryos of different organisms. Ernest Haeckel German scientist tried it on; by drawing fraudulent embryos making them look alike, because he loved Darwin’s theory of evolution. At the University of Jena he was convicted of fraud in 1875. When asked why he had lied, he said it is necessary for us to believe in spontaneous generation: that everything made itself by random chance, because the alternative is Creation and that is unthinkable! A lot of people have a similar mind-set today, this is why evolution will not go away as a theory and be buried. It should be disqualified by the “scientific method” today, but there is wide spread indoctrination through the education system with the theory of evolution which should be abandoned, because there is no evidence to support such a theory which has outlived its usefulness. The indoctrination of evolution through the education system is a “back door” to promoting immoral behaviour within the populace. This is the aim and plan of the globalists to bring about chaos, anarchy and confusion, in short lawlessness, whereby they have a legitimate reason to use modern technology to mark and control the masses. It is simple, if you teach students there is no God to answer too, then why bother to behave! Create fear among the populace and they will be happy to except electronic monitoring by those in authority, but first they must create the environment and the people will look to those in authority for a solution: it is called Cause and Effect. The general public need to waken up and smell the coffee as there is a lot of corrupt manipulation going on by the elite billionaires, who are now controlling bank accounts, politics and the education system, where people are taught what to think, not how to think critically. There is a desire to take away your freedom of speech in relation to telling the truth.

Two wrongs don’t make it right. The God of Israel mocks Christendom. Evidence? Isaiah 45:20 “Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together you (the children of Israel) who have escaped from the nations. They (the gentile nations) have no knowledge, who carry the wood of their carved image, and pray to a god that cannot save.” As it turns out, the jesus character portrayed in the Christian doctrine (a Greek manuscript) has been a carved image of all sorts for over two millennia now. What a conundrum for Christendom. Instead Christian, what is God’s true salvation plan? Ezekiel 18:21-24 “But if a wicked man turns from all his sins which he has committed, keeps all My statutes, and does what is lawful and right, he shall surely live; he shall not die. “None of the transgressions which he has committed shall be remembered against him; because of the righteousness which he has done, he shall live. “Do I have any pleasure at all that the wicked should die?” says YHVH GOD, “and not that he should turn from his ways and live?” Where’s the Jesus agenda anywhere spoken here? Did the God of Israel have sudden amnesia? Why does God’s plan straight from the mouth of God contradict your Christian beliefs? Ponder that for a moment. The question is, why aren’t you aware of this? And who taught you differently? Because whoever is your teacher you need to fire them immediately! And the evidence is staggering.

You need to know that we Muslims believe in Jesus (peace be upon him) and love him more than ourselves, but as the Messiah and a prophet, not as God or son of God. Our creator (God almighty, the father) sent prophets and messengers to mankind throughout history to guide them to the straight path, Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Jesus and the last one Muhammad and many other prophets (peace be upon them all) and sent with them revelation (Psalm, Torah, Gospel and Quran). But after God saved and raised Jesus (pbuh) when they tried to kill him, people started worshipping him instead of God and changed his message. They went from worshiping one God, the creator of all, to trinity. And they also changed and altered the original Gospel and Torah. So God sent the last and final messenger, Prophet Muhammad pbuh, and the last and final revelation Quran to correct and complete Judaism and Christianity. God said in Quran: "Indeed, We have sent revelation to you ˹O Prophet˺ as We sent revelation to Noah and the prophets after him. We also sent revelation to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and his descendants, ˹as well as˺ Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and Solomon. And to David We gave the Psalms." (Quran 4:163) "God: There is no deity ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him-the Ever-Living, All-Sustaining.

The human mind is capable of making a lot of convincing connection if one really work on thinking something is true. I believe its called fake it till it makes sense. This can be a very used to start... well perhaps not so much believing as deluding oneself to thinking anything is true. Even just trying to smile as one goes about once day alone is enough to think and feel happier. After all, smiling is what one do when happy, so just smiling starts various brain functions related to being happy. What I wonder about though. You probably know that those of other religions believe and have just as powerful feelings and experiences of their religion being the true one and that they are on the right path. Do it not disturb you to think that if you lived your life spending the amount of time you have dedicated to hinduism for example. That you likely would have had a similar experience just flavored to fit hinduism rather than Christianity? I know you think those are false religions and your is right. But obviously you would feel the same if you where into hindusim. __________ Separately I do wonder. If you did not actually believe in god. Why would you bother saying a sinner prayer. Was the basis for your atheism simply that you believed in god but found some stuff hard to buy into? After all, its not as if ateists can not believe in all sorts of supernatural nonsense, but the one thing they do not believe in is gods. I suppose I can pray to Allah and ask if he is true then prove himself to me. Perhaps fix my car and plant some crops for me tonight. But its impossible for me to actually believe Allah to do any of that any more than if I asked a dragon or vampire to do so. _____ As for Christianity. I can not help but wonder. If you got involved with atheists who for example talked about the bible. Have you managed to rationalize all the horrors of god in the book. For as you may know. As an atheist who was formerly christan, and who has read at least large parts of the bible. God seems really bad. I do not think we have made many fictional beings worse than god. So if you where an atheist. Why would you want to start believing such a god is real. If I somehow started believing in christianity to a degree again, I would likely try seeking satan or something before I would try god. If only to get a different perspective from a different character. Perhaps there are some other super beings one could get protection from that are not as dangerous hidden in the setting.

@@zhoupact8567 - "...horrors of god..."??? You're blaming God for mankind's sins & ways. Humans tend to be so human-centric, as though everything in the universe is about humans. So many humans really do have an overblown & even an arrogant idea of their own importance in the vast universe or multiverse, as incredibly tiny, tiny, tiny as we are. I'm not saying God doesn't care about mankind. Jesus came to Earth precisely because he cares, to try to show us the way. Perspective is called for though. Light travels over 186,000 miles per *second* (almost 300,000 kilometers per second), & yet, even traveling *that* fast, it would *still* take light about 1.4 *Billion* years to go from 1 end to the other end of just *ONE* galaxy that mankind knows of, which is just the largest one we know of *so* *far.* And yet, some people want to say what *they* think *God* should do or what *they* think God should be like. Well, that's just people trying to create a human construct. Nothing upsets God more than people treating other people badly. When Jesus came to Earth, it was like a love-letter to mankind. You're being rather ridiculous to say that basically because you think God isn't good then you would rather seek out the being that is literally known for being the absolute embodiment of all evil.

In that second, my whole evolution AND atheism bubble popped. It hit me SO clearly, by pure logic. If there is a function, evolution could be used to explain it (even though the mathematics don't work: too many "lucky" combinations would need to happen even if you had hundreds of BILLIONS of years) no, but there is no explanation, in evolution, for beauty: null, zero, zipp! In that moment, without any preacher, or Bible or anyone speaking to me besides logic, I realized that beauty has to be CREATED by something that UNDERSTANDS beauty; that there MUST be s Creator.

@@TotalSkeptic - Evidence comes from giving it a try. Truly. There are certain things that, if you experience them, as millions of people have experienced them for thousands of years, then you will know what we mean. For me, in my grownup life, it began when I started including prayer to God & Jesus (Y'shua) in my life on a regular basis. Because I started doing that, I was taken by surprise that God started showing me things in dreams. There was a direct correlation. They weren't regular dreams. Also, the source of them was external to me. It was definite & it gradually became more over time. Later, it went beyond dreams to even more amazing things happening that I never expected - things that some use the word 'supernatural' for. (I've never 'done drugs,' etc. I'm well-educated & level-headed, etc.) Not that the point is to have 'supernatural' experiences, but it's truly amazing! Jesus doesn't force himself on people. He said "I stand at the door and knock." All you have to do to start to open that door to that journey is pray to Jesus with a *sincerely* open heart & open mind. You can tell Jesus that if he's real then you want to know it, so please let you know it. It just has to be sincere - you just have to be open to the possibility of it with an open heart & mind. As Jesus said, “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." (Matthew 7:7.) When it comes to this subject, don't just use your mind - also use your heart. Also, do yourself a favor & read a modern-language, red-letter edition of the New Testament with Jesus's words in red, as soon as you can, to learn Jesus's teachings & ways. I recommend the New International Version (NIV). I'm not saying that the Old Testament isn't important, but you could read that later. Jesus often meets people 'where they are' (so to speak). The most important things about Jesus's life are him teaching that we have to love God & love others as ourself, that we cannot hate others or hold resentments or unforgiveness towards *anyone* - and that we have to go to God & Jesus in prayer & sincerely repent of our iniquities (sins), ask God's forgiveness, & invite Jesus into our heart & our life to be our Lord & savior. The most important thing people in this world have is their soul, & truly the most important thing regarding our soul is what will happen to our soul after our life in this world. Not that our life on Earth isn't important, but eternity is even more important.

It is He Who has sent down the Book to you (O Muhammad) with truth, confirming what came before it. And He revealed the Torah and the Gospel previously, as guidance for mankind." (Quran 3:4)

Beautiful. Yes, God immediately answered my cry to Him in August 1984

[@Jonas-gl9ke]

I wonder why God answered your cry but did not answer the cry of millions of others..

[@markallen2984]

​​@@Jonas-gl9ke Sometimes we ARE answered but don't recognize the response because we were hoping for a different (or OTHER KIND of) answer

[@Jonas-gl9ke]

@@markallen2984 How would you tell the difference between God actually answering your cry and only thinking God answered your cry?

@@Jonas-gl9ke - Out of all humans in the world, you are the world's leading expert about yourself. Truly, there are things that millions of us have experienced, & if you yourself were to experience some of those things, you would understand what we mean. Some things are way, way too much to be a coincidence. It starts with just having an open heart & open mind to the possibility. I've never 'done drugs,' etc. I'm well-educated & level-headed, etc. Truly, I hope that some day you will just give Jesus a try. You know yourself, right? Do you trust yourself? *You're* the one who can judge if something that happened really happened to you. That's how it is.

[@Jonas-gl9ke]

@@AJ-yw7hf When God, “answers your cry”, you need a way to know the mechanism by which your “cry was answered”. If it is anecdotal, as you suggest, your experience is no more valid than a Muslim, Jehovah Witness, Freemason, Hindu, Buddhist or Jain. Basically, when value and truth are distinguished, any set of beliefs that leads to perceived value can be seen as true by the believer but this is fallacious. You need a way to falsify your claim or else accept the “truths” of other conversion experiences. If you are well educated and level headed as you claim, you must have a method that rules out well known psychological phenomena such as confirmation bias, crowd conformity, priming, ASMR, frisson and more.

This is beautiful. Yes none of us are worthy of God's love, but he does love us.

[@formerfundienowfree4235]

Why are we not worthy?

[@aprilackerman6513]

@@formerfundienowfree4235 Because we have all fallen short of God's commandments. The only perfect, sinless person is Jesus. He forgives us continually when we accept him as the salvation of our sins

[@machtnichtsseimann]

@@formerfundienowfree4235 - It is a finer point that, IMHO, many Christians get wrong about the Nature and Love of God. ( I am a fellow Believer, BTW, who does love my Brothers/Sisters in the Faith. ) We humans are not pure, infallible, righteous in our own doing, are guilty of "sin", BUT to say we are not "worthy" crosses the line into non-sense. Why wouldn't our God ( who we say amongst ourselves: "God is Love" ) STILL love us ALL the more as human fathers and mothers love their children, despite their errors and sins and going astray? So, I get it when Christians mean well in trying to be humble before God that we are not "worthy" of His Love, especially when dealing the topic of Sin and Judgment, though why aren't we also emphasizing the immense Mercy of God as well? Yes, no one can "boast" before God that THEY are "worthy" of His love, but....God loves the world SO much, too. I prefer to emphasize His profound love for us. I've seen the net effect of Christians who emphasize not being worthy of His love and it leads to a deeper sense of shame. Which is the exact OPPOSITE of what His love ought to bring to His cherished son's or daughter's life.

God said in Quran about Jesus (peace be upon him): " And [mention] when the angels said, "O Mary, indeed God has chosen you and purified you and chosen you above the women of the worlds. O Mary, be devoutly obedient to your Lord and prostrate and bow with those who bow [in prayer]." (Quran 3:42-43) " [And mention] when the angels said, “O Mary, indeed God gives you good tidings of a word from Him, whose name will be the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary - distinguished in this world and the Hereafter and among those brought near [to God ]. He will speak to the people in the cradle and in maturity and will be of the righteous. She said, "My Lord, how will I have a child when no man has touched me?" [The angel] said, "Such is God ; He creates what He wills. When He decrees a matter, He only says to it, 'Be,' and it is. He will teach him the Scripture and wisdom, the Torah and the Gospel, And [make him] a messenger to the Children of Israel, [who will say], 'Indeed I have come to you with a sign from your Lord in that I design for you from clay [that which is] like the form of a bird, then I breathe into it and it becomes a bird by permission of God.(Quran 03:45-49) "[The Day] when God will say, "O Jesus, Son of Mary, remember My favor upon you and upon your mother when I supported you with the Pure Spirit and you spoke to the people in the cradle and in maturity; and [remember] when I taught you writing and wisdom and the Torah and the Gospel; and when you designed from clay [what was] like the form of a bird with My permission, then you breathed into it, and it became a bird with My permission; and you healed the blind and the leper with My permission; and when you brought forth the dead with My permission; and when I restrained the Children of Israel from [killing] you when you came to them with clear proofs and those who disbelieved among them said, "This is not but obvious magic." (Quran 5:110) "[Mention] when God said, "O Jesus, indeed I will take you and raise you to Myself and purify you from those who disbelieve and make those who follow you [in submission to God alone] superior to those who disbelieve until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return, and I will judge between you concerning that in which you used to differ." (Quran 3:55 )

I cannot imagine the journey of faith you have taken to overcome your upbringing. God works in mysterious ways, this is definitely one of them. “If he can love me, who can he not love”, one of the best lines I’ve ever heard.
