They have a knowledge of God
"In The Beginning God..."
Did you know there are no atheist?
People will deny God. People will pick and choose gods. Some will even make themselves out to be God. But one thing they all have in common.
They have a knowledge of God
The Word assures us and states:
Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
My personal experience with the Word and with people has made it extremely clear that:
The fool may say in his heart: There is no God
That person is a fool not an atheist.
There are no atheist.
If you choose to debate with a person; to argue proofs of the existence of God and use many 'intellectual" ways and means to reason a person who says they are "Atheist"
YOU ARE BEING FOOLISH
There are not only not any atheist as the Word of God declares, but God has said even the Knowledge of Him is in them.
An atheist knows there is God and rejects authority of God by becoming a fool in rebellion than a person who doesn't know there is God.
"In The Beginning God..."
>Doesn't need an Explanation.
>Isn't debatable.
>Doesn't require participation.
The main reason there are no Atheist is because God said so. Imagine that, NO ONE IS REALLY AN ATHEIST, but a person in rebellion to God.
Just like you and I were.
In the beginning....
