Chapter One
Atheism
Atheism is defined as the disbelief or lack of belief in the existence of God, whereas, Theism is the belief in the existence of a God, especially belief in one God as creator of the universe.
I will contrast the two beliefs and show why Atheism exists and why we should reject its false teachings.
Fritz Chery of Biblereasons.com tells us about Atheism in his website article. I have taken selected excerpts from that article:
Atheists are some of the most religious and faithful people ever. It takes an incredible amount of faith to be an atheist.
Sun, moon, stars, oceans, the earth, animals, babies, male, female, the human heart, emotions, our conscience, love, intelligence, the human mind, bone structure, the human reproductive system, biblical prophecies coming true all before our eyes, eyewitness accounts of Jesus, and more and still there are some people who deny Godās existence.
Just stop and think about it. Itās impossible for something to come from nothing. To say nothingness caused nothing and created everything is absurd! Nothing will always remain nothing.
J. S. Mill who was a non-Christian philosopher said, āIt is self-evident that only mind can create mind. For nature to make itself is a scientific impossibility.
Atheism canāt explain existence. Atheists live by science, but science (always) changes. God and the Bible (always) remain the same. They know there is a God.
He is revealed in creation, through His Word, and through Jesus Christ. Everybody knows that God is real; people just hate Him so much that they suppress the truth.
Behind every creation there is always a creator. You might not know the person who built your house, but you know it didnāt just get there on its own.
Atheists are going to say, āWell who created God?ā God is not in the same category as created things. God is not created. God is the uncaused cause. He is eternal. He simply exists. It is God who brought matter, time, and space into existence.
If Atheists believe there is no God, why are they always so obsessed with Him? Why are they worried about Christians? Why do they view things about Christianity just to mock? Why are there atheist conventions? Why have atheist churches?
If God is not real, why does it matter? Itās because they hate God! Why does life matter? Without God, nothing makes sense. There is no reality at all.
Atheists canāt account for morality. Why is right, right and why is wrong, wrong?
Atheists canāt account for rationality, logic, and intelligence because their worldview will not allow them to. The only way they can is to take upon the Christian theistic worldview.
Quotes From Two Important People
āTo sustain the belief that there is no God, atheism has to demonstrate infinite knowledge, which is tantamount to saying, āI have infinite knowledge that there is no being in existence with infinite knowledge.āā ā Ravi Zacharias
āAtheism turns out to be too simple. If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning.ā C.S. Lewis
What Does The Bible Say?
Colossians 2:8ā¦
āBe careful not to allow anyone to captivate you through an empty, deceitful philosophy that is according to human traditions and the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.ā
1 Corinthians 3:19-20ā¦
āFor the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God, since it is written: He catches the wise in their craftiness; and again, The Lord knows that the reasoning of the wise are meaningless.ā
2 Thessalonians 2:10-12ā¦
āand every type of evil to deceive those who are dying, those who refused to love the truth that would save them. For this reason, God will send them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie. Then all who have not believed the truth but have taken pleasure in unrighteousness will be condemnedā.
