“ATHEISTS”
Many atheists who try to fight against faith and God, turn very soon to believe God. Atheists would not rise to raise a finger against faith or God unless they have some sort of faith in God. When we think about creation, atheists come out with theories based on science. Scientists invented or discovered what was created already. The question then is Who the creator is?
It may be because of depression in their lives or excessive dependance on the knowledge of the world, that atheists go to the extent of abusing God. Troubles and trials are common to Man. We are born in this world as men and not as gods. God created us so that we may worship Him. Unfortunately, everyone sought one’s own way and sinned. We have to pay price for our sins. common questions atheits raise is that why God allows problems in one's life and then tries to solve my problems later.
Psalm 14:1 reads… “The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.”
Many of us think that there never was so much atheism in earlier days as it is in our days; nevertheless the evidence is that former days were no better than ours are. During David’s time there were people who had gone to the extent of disbelieving the existence of God. It is the sinner who says, “in his heart, There is no God”. He is an atheist. He has no “Elohim”. It is not the doubt of the being of God, but the question that he poses that matters. He questions the dominion of God. Yes! he says this in his heart; it is just his imagination and not judgment. He cannot be sure that there is no God, but he wishes He were not there. He fancies himself that God is not there. He cannot for sure say that there is no God, but he is willing to think there is none. He would not dare speak that there is no God, but whispers that there is no God. If he does say boldly there is no God, he would be confronted. He would probably want to stump down his conscience and silence it saying there is no God, because it enables him to commit sins.
Psalm 90:1and 2 read… “Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou [art] God.”
God is the same yesterday, to-day, and for ever. Let us realize that we are dying creatures, and all our comforts in the world are dying comforts, but God is an ever living One, and the one who finds HIM will taste His love and will have HIM as his rock of refuge. Our life is like a blade of grass that sprouts, fades, withers, and dies in a day. Our life is like a particle swept away by a deluge.
“…who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?” Job 38:8
This chapter from the Bible is worth reading again and again.
Genesis 1:1-31 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good. And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. |
And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
And the evening and the morning were the third day. And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
