I do not see myself as being any better or worse than anyone else. I am no better than the Atheist or anyone else. The only one on this planet who better than everyone else is God! I am thankful that God touched my heart and has led me to a path of salvation. I don't think its right to constantly cast judgement at others. Unless you want to someday find yourself in the same position they are in. I don't want to take God for granted. I was once an unbeliever myself. It helps when someone who is a believer can show you love no matter what. That helped me! And so when I see an unbeliever, I do not want to show them anything but how I would want to be treated. Atheists choose their belief or disbelief. But why turn them completely away by casting constant judgement against them? People know and some don't know! Some know the bible like the back of their hand! Some, think they know when they don't. I lacked knowledge once. How can anyone else be any different?

Well, look! There may be churches on every street corner, but not all of them are very pleasant you know? I'm not against the Church! I love Church, but you must understand, you gotta use common sense. We have to respect people. Would you invite someone to your house and then treat them like dirt? NO! You especially don't want to do that in the house of God! Its not our house, its his house!

Well Ed I'm glad to hear that. I wasn't referring to everyone. But I have seen this all too often in my lifetime.

Tuberoot, nobody lacks the ability to be saved. The Bible says with God all things are possible. The only way they would lack the ability to be saved is if they committed the unthinkable sin of "blasphemy against the Holy Ghost". That is extremely rare. If God can save me, he can save anybody. By saying "they lack the ability to be saved" isn't that kinda going against the reason we are here? We are here to minister to others. And by saying that it is impossible for them to make it, well thats just hindering things a bit. I'm sure people thought that David, or Saul also lacked the ability to be saved. David committed adultery and Saul hated Christians. Look what happened! Saul became Paul, one of the Apostles, and David was annointed King over Israel. Nothing is impossible my friend. Only in your mind.

I pray that they find God, since I was an atheist for 25 years.

I see that there are two types of believers. I respond accordingly to which one they reveal themselves as being.
1) Unbelievers who are being drawn by God, but have not responded yet.
2) Unbelievers who God does not want, and therefore they lack the ability to be saved.

Puma,
We are all sinners according to the Book of Romans. I am no different then you were and I do not put others down for their beliefs. I pray when I am asked to do so for others. I also attempt to lead those who want to learn about GOD toward the TRUTH. Have a wonderful Christmas.
Thanks,
Eds

I feel sorry for them, and hope some day before it's to late that they wake up and think about their salvation. They are the ones responsible for that, their are churches on every street corner.

I don't feel I am a better person then them, and want to show them respect. If asked I will share my faith. My hope is that any unbeliever will come to be a Christian.

Don't think it's unbelievers.
Just one living in misery at loss with lost sense of direction and purpose of life.
In not knowing the existence of our creator's universal gifts of life vital for the survival and advancement of living human kind.
With self lack of knowledge.
When the gifts of life is out there waiting.
And no one seem to be passing by to pick it up.
The mystery of "A pot of golds glitterings at the end of the rainbow" left behind by our creator of heaven and earth.
Blindly in kicking the butts of God.
Luke 9.55-56
Blindly in following the blind with herd mentality.
Luke 6.39-40,41-45,46-49
What do you think?

"God " tells them they and only they have the " key to heaven " funny thing is they fall for the gag every time some lazy prankster passes the collection plate under their nose so he can buy himself a new Mercedes .
