Proverbs 21:20 "In the house of the wise are stores of choice food and oil, but a foolish man devours all he has."

[Dkay04]

Isaiah 40:31

"But those who wait on the Lord

Shall renew their strength;

They shall mount up with wings like eagles,

They shall run and not be weary,

They shall walk and not faint."

[soon2bepro]

Deuteronomy 20:10-17
When you march up to attack a city, make its people an offer of peace. If they accept and open their gates, all the people in it shall be subject to forced labor and shall work for you. If they refuse to make peace and they engage you in battle, lay siege to that city. When the Lord your God delivers it into your hand, put to the sword all the men in it. As for the women, the children, the livestock and everything else in the city, you may take these as plunder for yourselves... This is how you are to treat all the cities that are at a distance from you and do not belong to the nations nearby.
However, in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. Completely destroy them as the Lord your God has commanded you.





Numbers 15:32
While the people of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the Sabbath day...And the Lord said to Moses, 'The man shall be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp.' And all the congregation brought him outside the camp, and stoned him to death with stones, as the Lord commanded Moses.

If Lucifer was indeed the greatest and wisest angel, he must certainly have realized the consequences of opposing God. Thus, he willingly chose to suffer the worst possible fate. Why would he do that?

[/ QUOTE ]

It was probably for the same reason that Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit after being warned of the consequences.

atheist = satanist NotReady?

No. Satanism is a specific religion. Atheists just don't want God to exist, but if the God of the Bible does, they want Satan to win. At least that is the logic of their position.

I once believed in God. I liked believing in God. I miss believing in God. Sometimes I wish I was as ignorant as I once was, but then I remembered that in this world, truth and logic > joy and faith.

lol at you. After all the discussion on this forum, your conclusion about atheists is that they just don't wanna believe in God? Following that 'logic', I guess that explains why you've kept your faith for so long: you just want to believe. Bah.

I believe that all atheists don't want the God of the Bible to exist. They may well want the God who is a figment of their imagination to exist. If you're an exception and really want Him to exist He will guide you into the truth.

I do want to believe. I believe the reason is that God changes a person's nature. When I first became a Christian it wasn't because I wanted the God of the Bible. Over time, the more I learn about Him, the more I want it to be true. And I have no doubt that He is working in me to produce that attitude.

it is unfortunately true that people are often brought to believe what they 'want' to be true.

again..I wouldn't say "atheists" here...although I believe that it's hard to find the Christian god as anything but repulsive when not pressure to do so, I'm quite sure there are atheists who would want Christianity to be true..unless atheist are all necessarily reasonable people [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]..which could also be the case
