For God so loved the world (that includes atheists) that he gave His only begotten son that whosoever believes in him would not perish but have everlasting life John 3:16
and that even includes you
These citations are NOT quote mining. They are specific citation condemning atheists under no uncertain terms. No love here,
Scripture is NOT empathetic or even sympathetic of atheism. Your view and others reflect the scripture cited.

When I was a street preacher, I used to remind other Christians of 1 Peter 3:15–16 whenever they treated atheists with contempt, which frequently included false accusations of hating and/or rebelling against God, as well as extremely sarcastic remarks whenever any atheist attempted to reason...
Does not reflect anything concerning my view, It is simply the fact that you accuse an atheist of hating God when atheists do believe in Gods.
How cany hate something you do not believe in. This unfortunate condemnation is confirmed by @Sgt. Pepper in post #490...

The part below is from Title: Just What Is Salvation? by David C. Pack, under "You Must Endure"
In the Olivet Prophecy, Christ was asked about the sequence of events just prior to His Return. He described very...
Is ‘WISDOM’ a Person… it’s depicted as a FEMALE (She / Her)?
You are in fear at seeing the truth that the SPIRIT OF GOD is JUST THAT: ‘The spirit of the Father’.
When I show you those proofs you simply ignore them - cannot even respond to WHY you don’t believe them… but it’s obvious why you...
If you don't understand the Bible then there is nothing to discuss.
"“When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father—he will testify about me." John 15:26
Acts 5:32, "We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy...
Do you explain things perfectly clearly? I doubt it.
The Bible is spiritual literature. While believers may understand spiritual truths from it, that is altogether different from being able to communicate those spiritual truths to others, especially those people who haven't received the Holy...
According to the Bible, the Holy Spirit indwells the followers of Jesus (Ephesians 1:13-14; 4:30), not only confirming to them that they belong to God and are saved (Romans 8:15-17; 10:9-13; 1 Corinthians 12:13), but also giving them spiritual gifts (1 Corinthians 12:11) and spiritual...
Thank you for your reply. No, humans are Not genderless but our spirit is - please see Ecclesiastes 12:7 B ( it )
Those called to govern with Christ in heaven (Rev. 20:6; 5:9-10; 2:10) could be considered as neither male or female - see Colossians 3:11; Galatians 3:28-29.
For that matter, all...
Jesus came as a Man, and he called the Father (Father) insinuating a male. But The Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, our one True God is not Male or Female! He is not one or the other. he in one sense IS Both (AND MORE) All of the attributes that he gave to the Man (Adam) and (Eve) the...
God can be sent by God. We see this in places in the OT where an angel (messenger) of God is identified as God and speaks as if it is God. Not all angels do this, so the one that does this is probably God, who was sent by God.
Yes.
The Father, Son and Holy Spirit have a different...
Yes God is everywhere but wouldn't you agree that we distinguish God from his creation even though God is found throughout?
All Gods "messengers" do Gods bidding. They are "sent" by God. Those that are sent by God are distinguished from begin God. Otherwise the phrase "sent by God" would be...
Kindness is something our world is desperate for. With growing fears and anxieties, everyone could just a kind word or gesture. As Christians, God calls us to be the light in the world - to love and be kind to all, even our enemies! This collection of Bible verses about kindness will allow God...
Whose heart has been hardened? I'll bet that you didn't say such offensive things to believers when you were an atheist. But now you feel free to say them to atheists.
What effect should that have on how atheists view such a religion or the people embracing it? Is that a good, positive...
So you have a Modalist View? I don't accept this view for the following reasons:
Jesus speaks of fulfilling the Father’s will and following his commands.
In the beginning, Jesus (the Word) was there with God (the Father).
Jesus looked up and prayed to the Father.
Hi SLPCC,
Yes I do see that the Messiah was God. Because the fullness of the Godhead was dwelling in that body. He was the image (or the body) of the invisible God. Colossians 1:15
God is a Spirit. John 4:24
There is only one Spirit of God. Ephesians4:4
There is only ONE God - the...
