EASTER TIME IS A TIME FOR ATHEISTS


In one week from today, Christians will celebrate Easter Sunday, a day historically commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the grave. I believe His resurrection was bodily. That is, I believe he physically rose from a very real mortal death. I do not believe He ever died spiritually. He was, and is, immortal.

However, Easter has, in recent years, become a time when Atheists and Agnostics, and so-called Theologians begin to blast away at the foundations of Christianity. They seek to discredit everything the Bible presents as fact, with their wild leaps of logic and theologically unsound arguments.

The Bible tells us, in Romans 1:18-22: "The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.

For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools."


The Bible also clearly says: "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" ~ Isaiah 5:20

Pay special attention to those words in bold red, "[W]hat may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them" And yet, "Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools."

This means these atheists and Theologians have no excuse, other than they presumably see themselves as smarter than God, and if so, they have classified themselves.

I read a story on AOL news this morning (which I can no longer find) about a book someone wrote several years ago that claimed there was another gospel of Mark which claims that Jesus held possible homosexual rituals with partially clad young men.

The writer of the article nearly begged for CBS or one of the television networks to produce an Easter special on the subject.

I can just see God, the Creator of the Universe, The Alpha, and the Omega, the First and the Last, sitting up there in His heaven and looking down on these so called theological experts and laughing, as the Scripture plainly says, in Psalm 2, how God sits in His heaven and laughs at the vain practices of the heathen down here.

The wonderful thing is someday, they will all discover the truth. The really sorrowful thing is for most of them, when they finally discover the truth, it will be too late.

Mark, for all your condemnation of Theologians, do you mean SOME Theologians?

I mean Billy Graham and other preachers and teachers respected by the Right are theologians, as well. Just wondering if you're suggesting you don't trust any theologians or just some theologians...

Mark said...

I qualified them with the words preceding the word theologians: "so-called" and "these". Of course I don't mean all theologians. Only the ones that believe false doctrines, such as the Jesus seminar members and those who actually believe that nonsense about there being an additional Gospel of Mark that claims Jesus was gay.

Actually, I don't believe Billy Graham ever referred to himself as a theologian. He is a preacher. I believe that is all he would say about himself. If you listen to his sermons you will find a very simple message. He is not particularly profound. He preaches the Bible. He preaches salvation. He generally speaks to one common theme. Salvation. the secret of his success, I believe, is that he has the annointing of the Spirit of God upon him.

I suspect that Mark might also include those theologians that have helped to convince you and Michael that the Bible doesn't condemn homosexual behavior if between committed, monogomous individuals. These are theologians who are covered under the Isaiah 5:20 tract.

"that the Bible doesn't condemn homosexual behavior if between committed, monogomous individuals."

It'd be off-topic to belabor the point here, Marshall, but I'll have to point out once again that the Bible is completely silent on homosexual behavior between committed, monogamous individuals, contrary to your implication above.

Marshal Art said...

It's completely silent about driving on the wrong side of the road, but it's clear to all but pro-gay supporters that only sex within traditional marriage is sanctioned. My last comment on this off-topic subject.

Mark,

If you didn't get it on your other blog....

Have a Happy and Blessed Easter!
