What do people who believe in God think when I say you haven't got a clue and are very misguided individuals

Answer 1

I say: Can you prove that? I say: IF I am wrong, I have lost nothing. If, on the other hand, YOU are wrong, you risk EVERYthing. Wanna place a bet?? }:>

Answer 2

I think there are things you haven't heard yet. For instance:

The Christian God was very careful to prove Himself when He had the Bible written. He wanted to make sure you would recognize him as a God when he acted. What he did is predict the future. No person on earth, no medium or psychic, can claim the one hundred percent prediction rate of God. God gave names, dates, and places so we can check out history and verify his work. He even gave us the very words someone would say centuries before the fact!

By taking this route, God would not have to appear and prove himself over and over again to new groups of people.

Now if you wanted everyone to know that you, as God, were going to come as a human being, you would explain what you were like so you would be recognized. You would put in the city of your birth, where you grew up, what kinds of deeds you would do, your temperament, your purpose, even how you would die.

God did all that in the Old Testament. It was all in written form four hundred years before Jesus came. The New Testament gospels follow Jesus and point out some of the places where He fulfilled the prophecies.

Let me give you an amazing example of prophecy.

“Daniel 11, written in the 6th century B.C., gives an amazingly thorough account of Alexander’s Grecian kingdom, divided first into four competing factions after his death. It predicts details of the struggle between the Ptolemy and Seleucid empires for a period of 160 years, right down to the advent of the Roman Empire. That is why the skeptics used to claim that the book of Daniel could not have been written before 164 B.C., but now we have proof of a much earlier writing text.

“The prophet Isaiah (44:28) gave the name of a king not yet born and of a kingdom not yet instituted and of an event that would not take place for another 150 years. He predicted that a king named Cyrus would commission the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem. Cyrus did come to the throne in Persia, and in the first year of his reign in 538, he issued a decree that the temple in Jerusalem should be rebuilt. (See 2 Chronicles 36:22-Ezra 1:1-3. This prophecy described in the Bible is confirmed by the discovery of a Babylonian inscription.)

“Daniel actually gave the time when Christ would come into the world and die. Daniel (9:24) predicted that Messiah would be cut off (die) 483 Hebrew years after the issuing of the Persian decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem. Artaxerxes Longimanus issued that decree on March 5, 444 B.C. (Neh. 2:1-8), granting the Jews permission to rebuild Jerusalem’s city walls. This, too, is confirmed by archeological discoveries. Four hundred eighty-three prophetic years (360 days to a year) and seven days later, Jesus was crucified as predicted. How could a prophet accurately predict the date of Messiah’s death hundreds of years before it took place, unless he was the ‘voice’ of God as he claimed?”

Thanks to the Dead Sea Scrolls found at Qumran, we know with certainty the above prophecies date before the occurrence of actual prophesied events.

He has proven His existence perfectly and wonderfully. The Christian God is the true God.

Answer 3

I think that I feel sorry that you believe that. I'll never say that I can't be misguided, but in this I don't believe that I am. And if I am? So what? I have a peace, a sense of rightness, a sense of belonging and a happiness that I have never felt before. What's so wrong with that?

Answer 4

Mis - Guided Individuals are the one's who do NOT KNOW - God!

I Will Be Praying the Lord will touch your heart so that You Will Know Him!

Be at Peace - Take Heed - Time is Short - Accept His Grace!

Take Care and God Bless!

Answer 5

That you're probably sincere, and that you're wrong.

It's called faith, amigo. You don't have it, we do. We're quite sure we're better off, but many--perhaps most--of us understand why you don't think so!

We have an intention book at our parish. One of those I've added is "The salvation of atheists." Note that I did NOT write "conversion" but "salvation." God can work quite nicely on and with you without your acknowledging the fact.

Answer 6

That's your opinion. Why should I feel animosity?
Not everyone will see, receive, understand, accept....

[Even] the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
John 14:17

Answer 7

I think you are making a big assumption that those that believe in gods have the same beliefs about them.

Answer 8

I say that you are just as bad as a christian who says their way is the only way. They are saying it is the only way to believe, you are saying it is the only way to live. I respect your atheism. Live and let live.

Answer 9

That we should pray for you. Because we love you just as God does. Even if you don't know it.

Answer 10

My first thought was that my experience of God in my life trumps your opinion of whether or not He exists.
