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...
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...
There is no First Death and Second Death in the Bible. It is dogma.
The Bible refers to a Second Death, but what you believe that means is dogma.
The Bible's Definitions of Death
First, we need to maintain the distinction, as Scripture does, between physical death and spiritual death. The...
The verse does not say "surely die physically". You just assume that whenever the Bible says die it means die physically.
What happened on the day Adam and Eve sinned? They came under the judgment and the condemnation of God. And that is what death is in the Bible...
A simple explanation whilst we live.
Science says that evil exists created.
Then who or what created evil.
Evil existed first said science.
A male in science, inventor of all thesis states, God created evil as original SIN.

My understanding is that we have been created to know and to worship God and that the main purpose of Jesus or any other Heavenly Messenger is to bring us closer to God. Those who believe in Them and follow their teachings draw closer to God while those who do not miss out on the joy of knowing...

As you stated above ( All persons born to Adam, inherited these - they were passed on from Adam's genes, including the defects acquired due to disobedience - that is, alienation from the life that belongs to God. (Ephesians4:18) The body deteriorates until death)

christ doesn't die; if christ is all and in all. christ might transform. jesus may have died but the worm that never dies, or the fire that never expires. basically the spirit, mind of that person, doesn't die.

I have never heard anyone suggest Christ died for nothing, just because there is still sinfulness in the world. Can you provide examples of people who say this?
I think it is likely that we do not understand what his purpose was. As long as we feel entitled to judge and condemn others, while not actually paying enough attention to our own affairs it will continue to be the case. Our disagreeableness could likely stem from our horror and denial when...
