Encounters of an ATH&IST kind

Recently, I posted “To P r o t e s t a n t s, Pastors and other likeminded people who love Truth]: I Love JESUS” to proclaim my faith to other believers online. I did not know a non-Christian would take that post and engage me, trying to debate me (thinking I was not a knowledgeable Christian). I interacted with him for a short time to try and reach him, or others who follow his posts ;). Anyone who is really open to the truth (wherever it leads them) might stumble upon our conversation and find answers they’ve looked for, and turn to Jesus for forgiveness and salvation. “The Lord is on my side and His Word never returns void.”

I am no Ken Ham, but I know a fair amount about Ath3ism& Evilution to be helpful when reaching out to ath&ists. I am a strong Christian, solid in Scripture & my relationship with God and the Lord Jesus, and the power of God and the Holy Spirit IS WITH me when I witness.

Ath3ists dont even realize that posting/replying to Christians (while trolling online as a wolf looking for a victim)...allowing us to reply ... and opened all the doors God plans for them to, to reach the eyes (heart and mind) of any Ath3ist/agnostic or person looking into the things of God, enabling them to see/visit the websites we post and to consider the truths of Christ. Scripture said if we search with all our being we will find the truth and the truth will set us free. God also told us in Scripture that he who seeks finds, and Jeremiah 29:13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.

We were limited on how many words we could post on this miniblog, but here is the conversation we had.

1. Ath3ist: My invisible friend is named Steveo, and I love him too!

2: Christian reply: Creation shows the Creator exists. I will not debate the facts of what U clearly can see naturally & http://ow.ly/hi0c (learn about).

2a. To Believers: Dear Christians , feel free to regularly share this link with Ath3ists/agnostics and those who believe in Evolution - http://ow.ly/hi0c2b. Extra Post (incase he came to my page to read what I post): There is no prison in the freedom of Salvation. Sin is the true prison, those who remain in it and dont come to Jesus for liberty are prisoners of Satan; enslaved in sin.

3.Ath3ist: You would think (reference to #2), but science disagrees. And let's not forget that proving a Creator does not mean proving your religion is right.

4. Christian Reply: Science does agree (but evolutionists just refuse to accept it). Also, I do not have a religion sir, I have the truth and Christ.

5.Another Reply: MzrAth3ist You didn't even check out the information at the website - http://ow.ly/hi0c - "did" you?

6.Ath3ist: Sorry, I don't do Flash (websites). But I find it ironic you claim to have no religion, though the only reason to believe Jesus was anyone…is because of the (Catholic) Church really, since no other documents corroborate any significant part of the Gospel."

7.Christian Reply: I think you didn’t want to see that site, your answer was a “cop out”.

8. Ath3ist: (quotes me:) "I do not have a religion sir, I have the truth and Christ.” If I had a nickel for every time I heard that...

8. Reply: Christianity is not a religion, its a personal relationship with the person (God) Jesus Christ. You do not know Him... therefore you can not say that I do not [ reference to: knowing Him; a real person/the creator].

9. Ath3ist (this is when this post posted): "…is because of the (Catholic) Church, really, since no other documents corroborate any significant part of the Gospel."

9.Christian reply: Your facts are wrong sir. 1. Catholicism has nothing to do with Christianity. 2. the Bible is the most reliable book in all of antiquity (historically and as literature).

10.Another thought: Ur attempts to get us to leave our faith is really satan's attempt try and drag me to hell, but you should appreciate my attempts to get you into Heaven.

11. ...if you believe we're not created (& nothing matters; we're all accidents) why then do you-waste your time against Christianity instead of on other useful/enjoyable things in life?

12. PS: your bio says you don’t want to worry about Hell. I wouldn’t worry about that – you should be worrying more about God and his coming wrath against unrepentant sinners. (ie. Flee to Christ sir while there's time).

Then I blocked MzrAth3ist from being able to contact me further. You don’t have to do that, but I don’t believe this guy was open to reason. I dont want to waste my time with those who want to keep me from doing anything profitable for the Kindom of Christ. They have enough info available in what we said available online these days and several churches in their towns to go and speak to someone more on the issue, but they won't. My goal is to just get them thinking about spiritual things. This as well as the rest is in God's hands.

Christians----You can then Post these msgs:

1. ...Pointed the ath3ist to a Gospel site n "blocked" them. They are "closed" to reason and truth.

2. A tip for Christians: Don't let #Ath3ists and those who are against #Christianity continually waste your time in 15 words or less on miniblogs.

3. A great gospel site for Ath3ists agnostics and false religion followers can be found at a growing resource http://www.deptofeternalaffairs.com/.

Side Notes:
I offered believers to send me a messge to receive our conversation so they could use it to assist them with weeding out closeminded Ath3ists. To get a copy of that link for some reason… I went to the search section of the miniblog and looked up my name...I then realized the Ath3ist had replied back two times, but I had already blocked him. So it didn’t show up on my page. But I wanted other Ath3ists who may have read his final replies to me to know my response to that issue. If they reply back about "God sending people to hell" as this guy did (see below)...

11. Ath3ist: Any god who sends those who do not believe in him to hell is, frankly a @)#*%

Reply on your page (cause youve already blocked him). just post on your own blog wall:

11. Sir, God doesnt send anyone to Hell. People send themselves there. They chose to violate God's law. Criminals are punished for their crimes.

12. God is merciful, and gracious to undeserved criminals and He proved it by His lovingkindness offered through Christ. Yet you reject Him.

13. I blocked Mr foulmouth as you can see. I also find it funny he lists what Ath3ism hasnt done, but forgot to list the atrocities it "has" done.

note: Christianity has done more for the people of this world than anyone else. Ath3ists seem to remove the Christian faith from the Earth but don’t seem to have a problem with Muslims or other Religions or Cults as far as I can see. Based on what I learned about the philosophy and history of Atheistic views their end result is for Christians to be eliminated from the world (by various ways and methods), and only reward those who are conniving and dupe people or step on people to get what they want in life with their “survival of the fittest” mentality. Christians help the poor, they have compassion and empathy and care about others. They created hospitals and schools, colleges and so much more, they even take in orphans and care for widows. Ath3ists don’t do that and don’t care about anyone but themselves. Christians care about everyone, their physical needs as well as their most important need – to be right with God and have salvation through Christ. Eternity depends on it. It’s the truth, its reality. Ath3ists can continue to pretend it isn’t true, but deep down I believe they know it is true, and they hate that “fact”. They only have one hope in Christ:"Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." John 8:32

If you have any problems with interacting with Ath3ists feel free to use the same responses i posted (above) to try and reach them. Sometimes when people receive truthful answers to their objections the bricks fall out of their wall and they learn something they dindt know before and it brings them closer to the knowledge of the truth of Jesus salvation. They will certianly leave a different person than they were before they interacted with you and that is because God's word doesnt return void.

If you have any idesas for tweet responses to common objections from Ath3ists please contact me with the info, so I can post them and we can all use them on the internet. May we reach some for Christ by all possible means available.
