Doesn't the Bible say few will be called? Does that mean the Atheists are on the do-not-call list?

Question

Does that mean Atheists are God's unwanted children?

Answer 1

It means they're on the slim pickins list.
;)

Answer 2

Not necessarily. What it while only some are called, fewer still will answer. And as far as atheists being God’s unwanted children, you are also incorrect. Atheists are not unwanted by God. They are also not God’s children. Only believers are God's children. We are adopted when we are saved, and prior to that we are all God's creation. God's creation includes everything, not just people, but only people who believe and confess that Christ is the Lord of Lords will be adopted into the lineage of God as joint heirs with Jesus. God wants all to be His children but few will respond. Your own life and views apparently show that to be true. You have apparently rejected God's offer to become His child & instead wish to remain part of His creation. Not the best choice in my opinion, but free will affords you that opportunity. I pray you will reconsider.

Answer 3

The bible says many are called but few are chosen. God loves all people and Atheists have just as much right to call on the name of Jesus and be saved as anyone else.

Answer 4

Yes, they would not be on the call list...and when it says that it is saying that Christians are a small flock. Even now. There are so many people who think they have to do something to go with Jesus in the rapture...or to go to heaven. It's not something that comes about by being good but being saved comes through faith in Jesus Christ. Which comes through the prompting of the Spirit...

So, the next time you think it is through good works remember it is through Christ alone...and, no Atheists aloud since they don't believe on(in) Him.

Answer 5

No. This does not mean that atheists are God's unwanted children. He loves them too. He grieves over their choice of rejecting His Son. Christ died for them too. He wants them to turn to Him and be saved.
The Scriptures say that God dosen't want anyone to perish, He gives everyone a choice in their life time. God only stops pursuing us when we keep refusing, but He still wants them to turn to Him.

Answer 6

According to the Bible, the number of people who will supposedly be "saved" at the end of times is incredibly small compared to the number of people currently living on Earth.

Since Christianity is a rather populated group ... even if all those saved were Christians, the vast majority of Christians wouldn't be included.

Answer 8

The bible says 144,000 will be called. This counts out almost everyone.

Revelation 7:4
And I heard the number of them that were sealed, a hundred and forty and four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the children of Israel:

Answer 9

A true Christian cannot answer this. We are to judge no one. That is God's right, and His alone. I cannot tell you for sure what He will do for atheists, but as I understand it, being an atheist is the unforgivable sin.

Answer 10

Nah... it says Many will be called... but few will be Chosen. And with all the "Chosen One's" running around here, I'm starting to think the Atheists are really the Chosen Ones. ^_^

Answer 11

I'm on the do not call list. Can't wait for the rapture so we have less people around ... although I don't know that many Christians that are good enough to go with Jesus.
