Proverbs 26:5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.God showed me a lot in connection with these Scriptures but I will just share briefly. The first one warns us about not becoming involved with what those who are deceived are promoting or we may also become deceived.
An Atheist was walking through the woods.
‘What majestic trees!’
‘What powerful rivers!’
‘What beautiful animals!’
‘How amazing is Evolution!’, he said to himself.
As he was walking alongside the river, he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him.
He turned to look. He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him.
He ran as fast as he could up the path. He looked over his shoulder & saw that the bear was closing in on him.
He looked over his shoulder again, and the bear was even closer.
He tripped & fell on the ground. He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear was right on top of him, reaching for him with his left paw & raising his right paw to strike him.
At that instant moment, the Atheist cried out…
‘God Help Me!’
Time stopped.
The bear froze.
The forest was silent.
As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky.
‘You deny My existence for all these years, teach others I don’t exist and even credit My Creation to a Big Bang Cosmic accident and Evolution.
Do you expect me to help you out of this predicament?
Am I now to count you as a believer, do you want to repent?’
The Atheist looked directly into the light, and said…
‘It would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask you to treat me as a Christian now and I don’t need to repent but perhaps you could make the Bear a Christian?
Very well so be it if it’s your choice is not to repent, said the Voice.
‘The Light went out. The sounds of the forest resumed. And the bear dropped his right paw, brought both forepaws together, bowed his head & spoke…
‘Bless this food, which I am about to receive from Thy bounty, Amen.’

You are still using as proof agnophilo what you are reading on the Internet, I have heard it all before only with more added as they seek to prove what they can’t.
It seems you have very little understanding of the Scriptures or any knowledge of how they were originally compiled, it would help you to seek more knowledge in this regard, let me share with you what God tells us about them.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man/woman of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
How do we know that God told men what to write in the Scriptures, because they talk about Truths that only God could have known when they were written, apart from Prophesy which has come True, some is coming True now and some has yet to happen but the signs show that they will, there is also other things in Scripture that only God could have known when they were written , such as D.N.A , Aids which is not a virus and that the world is round, Dinosaurs which were called Dragons, lived with man, Technology now and in the future and other things that are happening today and have happened in the past and will happen soon.
Do you know anything about the Dead Sea Scrolls, agnophilo, they confirm a lot of the Scriptures in the Old Testament as they are today, yes some were written by others not connected to what is in the Scriptures but a lot they found does confirm it. The New Testament also confirms the Truths in the Old Testament and it confirms the New Testament.
As for new Translations, yes there is error in them but mostly not to deceive except for the Cults Translations but God shows us man’s errors so we don’t have to fear being deceived. I use the K.J.V for confirmation of what Jesus teaches me through the empowering of the Holy Spirit, because it is closer to the original, it was written in the 1600’s the others were written much later and from a different and later source, and they keep updating them so they add more of man’s errors and their fleshy understanding, which has been proven by Scripture itself because it than contradicts but there were no contradictions in the Scriptures, only man’s added ones or when those who read it without the empowering of The Holy Spirit think there are contradictions.
Sorry agnophilo, I can’t talk for everyone else or what they propagate on the Internet when claiming to be Christians but some who do this, are Cults, or breakaways from Cults, some are wolves teaching Heresy, some are just deceived Christians who have believed their lies, and some have God’s Truth which they share freely but I do understand why you are confused agnophilo, with having no faith in God, you can’t discern Truth from error.
Yes I do have God’s wisdom, but I was not born with it as a baby so I asked Him for it and He gave it to me (see below ) I’m still learning but what He has shown me I have no doubts about. When we ask for His wisdom, we are to believe we have received it, to say God is lying to us and we haven’t received His wisdom when He says we do, is more than arrogance it’s foolishness. Those who claim to know God but don’t believe I have His wisdom or others don’t, even though we asked for it in Faith, are saying they can’t have it either so why are they sharing their own understanding and yes they are also calling God a liar if they continue to believe He does not do what He tells us He will.
James 1:5 -8 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
As for your claim that all things will remain a Mystery, God’s Truth tells us the opposite, I will let Him tell you Himself…..
Matthew 10:26-28 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops (KJV)
1John 2:26-28 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. But the anointing which ye have received of Him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is Truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in Him.
You said agnophilo that belly buttons do not fossilize which is True but nor does the rest of the flesh of mankind and animals, so how do Evolution Scientists build a theory around just bones and claim that they change from animals to us.
We only have to look at what is happening today to know the Truth. We have formed belly buttons and animals don’t, animals don’t talk, we do and they have a different protection covering, we have hair they have fur, feathers, scales or shells , they are not changing into different Species today and Mutations still come from the original source, animals also have different blood D.N.A than us, which God told us about over 2,000 years ago before they had Pathology…..
1 Corinthians 15:38-40 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased Him, and to every seed His own body. All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.
As for the age of the earth, it has never been proven to be older than approx 4,0000 years old, Carbon dating cannot confirm it to be longer than this and the other methods are unproven, they are just theories. The Bible also confirms a young earth, not one that is billions of years old and this is confirmed by the 6 days of Creation in Genesis and the generations listed in the Bible.
As for devaluing others, I value everyone as people of worth, God said He Loved the world meaning everyone in it past, present and future and He sent Jesus to save them and set them free but He knows those who are His from Eternity regardless of what they may believe before they come to heart repentance. He also calls those who don’t believe in Him fools and that they will be without an excuse, but He knows everyone’s hearts, we don’t so we can’t judge their Eternal Destiny . As I have shared, I was an Atheist in my head not my heart for nearly 30 years and also an Evolutionist but He knew me as saved, meaning His redeemed Child of the Promise before I was conceived.
So agnophilo if you don’t believe there is a God, why did you come onto a Christian Blog to try and prove He doesn’t exist, if you claim to be secure in what you believe, why are you not at peace but instead trying to prove it to yourself.
I reason with unbelievers or those who are deceived and so do other Christians because we want them to know the Hope they can have in Jesus Christ now and the wonderful Eternity we will have with Him in the future but what do you offer others with what you believe agnophilo and propagate, what are you achieving by offering them a hopeless end.

P.S To say Christian Love, is to say we Love everyone in and through Christ Jesus but this does not mean we have to accept the evil they do or say , Jesus didn’t and tells us not to either, instead we choose to stand up for His Truth regardless of the cost to us personally because we Love Him and others.

“Sorry agnophilo there is no evidence for Evolution that does not confirm Creation too”
That isn’t how science works, I just the other day did a blog about the difference between the two:
“most of what is claimed is only theories.”
The line “evolution is just a theory” is an attempt to mislead people to think that the word “theory” in science means a hunch or a guess, when in science that is a hypothesis. A hypothesis that can be experimentally tested, explains all of the available data and has stood up to scrutiny is called a theory. Furthermore in science theories attempt to explain facts. Evolution theory attempts to explain the fact that life changes over time and that it was very different in the past than it is now (and many other facts). The same way several theories of gravity attempt to explain why things fall to the earth. That these are “theories” doesn’t change the facts they are attempting to explain. Science strictly deals with observable physical reality so it is always an attempt to explain something that is real and observable.
“Man has never been able to create variable life from nothing”
Mankind has also never been able to make a hurricane, that doesn’t mean the universe can’t do it. But even if I grant for the sake of argument that life had to be created, that doesn’t change the fact that it evolves afterward. Darwin assumed life was created and said so many times in his writings.
“and besides animals which we are suppose to evolved from, don’t have and have never had, formed belly buttons.”
Every placental mammal has a belly button, though they tend to be less pronounced in other species. It’s also worth noting that we did not evolve from any modern species. It’s also worth noting that before mammals gave live birth our ancestors a very long time ago laid eggs like reptiles. Some of the evidence for this is the fact that quasi-mammals like the platypus which have some mammal traits like fur and lactal glands lay eggs, but the eggs are soft and leathery without a hard shell. In the womb (in humans) our babies are in what we call the amniotic sac – it is called this because it is anatomically indistinguishable from the amnion (lining) of an egg. Before you were born you were wrapped in an egg lining, and inside the lining there was also an empty yolk sac right there next to you. If you don’t believe me, google it, humans have yolk sacs. We also have the genes for making egg yolk protein, but they’re switched off. In humans they don’t work anymore, but we still have them. Odd, isn’t it? Common ancestry and evolution explains all of these facts, and many more about our anatomy.
“You may have also noticed they can’t talk as man does, for this to have evolved so they could would mean the entire central neurological system which includes the brain would have to have been completely changed, which means, they would no longer have been functioning and would have died out completely and not continued to evolve as is claimed.”
Living things do not function like man-made machines where to change one thing means to destroy the whole machine. In living things changes are extremely common and usually not harmful. For instance verbal ability varies greatly from one person to another. Some people are very eloquent and others can barely string a sentence together, and everything in between. If what you say is true most of these people would be dead because their brain would shut down at the slightest change.
“Carbon dating and all other forms of evaluating time have been proven not to be valid in regard to the earth being billions years old, it isn’t.”
According to fundamentalist websites, in reality all that is seriously discussed among actual scientists (most of whom are christian in the US btw) is the margin of error, which is a few percent for most dating methods. It would have to be a few hundred thousand percent for young earth creationism to be true. And even that wouldn’t make sense, because those dating methods would have to consistently be wrong about young things in one direction and consistently be wrong about old things in the opposite direction.
“But please do some research yourself and find the evidence you think that there is and we will examine it’s source and validity , till then check out my Blog, I have a few Posts on Creation/ Evolution that have links that may help you.”
You get your information from fundamentalists who base their views on a particular theology. I get my information from the consensus of mostly christian scientists who are trained to set aside ideology and follow the evidence. Which of those sources seems most likely to be reliable? As for evidence, evidence of what, specifically? I can’t think of any aspect of evolution that hasn’t bee supported by experiments and used to make accurate predictions. People were doing evolution experiments in the 1800s and watching bacteria evolve before their eyes.

Good Bactria comes from created substances.
God did not create Animals to evolve from one species to another and there is no proof they have, although they may change within their own species but breading cannot alter the genetic structure of the D.N.A it is only a Theory, which is an unproven assumption or hypothesis, yes it may be believed by many that do not know the Truth but that does not make it fact.

“I do Love Truth agnophilo but God’s Truth not fleshy mans which is usually a mish mash of information.”
Men wrote, compiled, translated and interpreted the bible, not god. You have to trust them before you trust god. And on this subject the bible is silent. There are some vague passages but there is not any text of the bible with a scientific level of detail on matters of nature. So either god did not intend to write a science book or god wasn’t involved at all. Either way the origins of the universe and life should be treated as what they are, a mystery. To pretend like you have all the answers is just arrogance.
“With Evolution Teaching, what is claimed has not and never will be proven as fact, except with those who still claim God created life, it does not come from nothing.”
Evolution has nothing to do with the origin of life. Life evolves and has changed a great deal over recorded time regardless of whether it arose by itself, was miraculously created by god, arose by properties of physics, chemistry, thermodynamics etc which god established, or something else entirely.
“I don’t get my facts from man but from God,”
Yeah, a lot of people think that. They usually disagree with each other violently.
“if you want to argue with Him and call Him a liar, you will find out very quickly how uninformed you are,”
I am an atheist, I don’t know that there is a god to argue with or accuse of lying in the first place.
“reading Secular websites, most of which copy each other can lead to grave error because their focus is the same or they wouldn’t copy those who claim to know, but don’t have proof.”
Religious websites often copy each other too. Unoriginality isn’t a secular problem. The difference is that secular websites, while they contain errors, do not pretend to proclaim ultimate, un-challengable truths, so when an error is discovered, it is usually amended.
“Man’s Belly button is very different from an animal and always has been and still is,”
It’s more prominent, this is a minor difference.
“as shown by the fossils in the past and the bodies of both now, also by the birth process of both, now and in the past,”
Belly buttons do not fossilize, so this is not the case.
“yes there is similarities, God used the same Blueprint but He made us a higher order, with marked differences , we were created in His likeness animals were not!.”
Our closest non-extinct relatives are chimpanzees which share over 95% of their DNA with us, and virtually all of their anatomy. Other much more far removed species are often still remarkably similar. A lizard, for instance, has virtually the same skeleton you do, just smaller and with slight modifications. I look at this and am fascinated and feel a sense of kinship with my fellow species. Why does it disturb you but fascinate me? Perhaps because you’ve been convinced that these facts are dangerous.
“Where did the evolved Bactria come from ? thin air, it started with something created,”
Bacteria have been evolving for billions of years, are very complicated and almost certainly look nothing like the first organisms (assuming abiogenesis). But even without abiogenesis we know that mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish etc appeared gradually and that for around 2 billion years there was nothing on earth but micro-organisms. So what is the harm of starting with complex chemistry and the laws of physics instead of micro-organisms?
“even Scientists can’t create from nothing, try it…look into space and say form Bactria or put nothing into a jug of water and say form molecule and then wait billions or at least millions of years for it to happen but of course you may get a sludge from the Bacteria in the air polluting the water but it can’t produce variable life forms, it may produce some more sludge which is what they found after a short period of time but the sludge remained sludge and then without moisture dried up,”
Scientists couldn’t figure out how to make the 4 chemical components of RNA for over a decade despite knowing the chemical ingredients and what the finished product was supposed to look like. When they finally figured it out it was as simple as the right combination of sunlight (UV radiation), evaporation and mechanical forces (like ocean waves). The reason it was so hard to figure out is that chemistry is like a combination lock that has to be unlocked in sequence – and the number of “passwords” (ways to combine different elements under different pressures, temperatures, levels of electricity etc, etc in different orders is virtually infinite). So the fact that scientists have not figured out how life began in a few decades does not surprise me in the least.
“the Bactria in the air came from rotting carcases and germs from unclean habitation and pollution from man’s waste. Good Bactria comes from created substances.”
So you reject evolution and abiogenesis, but you think that the environment can cause complex organisms to spontaneously form? What gives?
As for bad bacteria feeding off of waste, YOU feed off of waste. What do you think gaseous oxygen is? It’s a waste product of algae and plants. That is why until they appear in the fossil record the atmosphere was relatively barren of oxygen. One species’ waste is another’s food supply. This doesn’t just apply to bacteria.
“God did not create Animals to evolve from one species to another and there is no proof they have,”
Speciation (the splitting of one species into two) is very well observed in nature and in lab experiments. So well observed that there are four known types of speciation. That it has happened in the past has been confirmed with genetic testing including comparison of endogenous retroviruses (viruses that inject themselves into the DNA of their host and occasionally get passed on to the host’s offspring in a broken form, we have thousands of dead viruses in our DNA with which we can compare to our close relatives to confirm that some of our ancestors were infected with the same viruses in the same part of our two genomes, proving common ancestry). Another thing you might find interesting (or horrifying) is ring species. Google it, if you want to.
“although they may change within their own species but breading cannot alter the genetic structure of the D.N.A it is only a Theory, which is an unproven assumption or hypothesis, yes it may be believed by many that do not know the Truth but that does not make it fact.”
Breeding doesn’t change DNA, it merely selects from it after it changes on it’s own. DNA copies itself, and it often copies itself wrong – these DNA copying errors are very common (more than 100 per person per generation in humans) and are called mutations. Mutations manifest in everything from family traits to birth defects and just as they occasionally harm people (and animals) they are occasionally useful. Some notable examples in humans range from being able to see invisible forms of light like ultraviolet light to being immune or highly resistant to deadly diseases to some athletes being born with two muscles where normally people only have one, and so on. It is not hypothetical or unproven, some creationists just prefer to live in the dark.
“If you wish to continue this debate agnophilo, please provide some proof of what you are alleging and not just repeat what others have said that contradicts God’s Truth and is not based on proven facts.”
What proof would you like? And proof of what exactly?
“Evolution that is propagated today is at best a denunciation of Truth with unproven assumptions or man’s own hypothesis, or at worst deception, yes a Lie!”
I should think that if there is a god and he created the universe and life then anything we find in nature is by definition “god’s truth”. You hold one narrow interpretation of one part of one text up as god’s truth and ignore the whole of creation which you say he authored. If the bible said the earth was flat and your eyes said it was round, which would be god’s truth?
“Christian Love from us both – Anne….. or would you prefer hate, sorry it’s not possible when we have The Holy Spirit … hate is the absence of Love, God is Love, although He does indeed hate evil and lies are evil and I hate them too!”
You do not have to hate someone to assume the worst of them or condescend to them. Christians constantly project onto me hatred (as you just did), depression, egotism and every horrible flaw. I recently had a co-worker, upon finding out I was an atheist, reel in surprise because I was nice and friendly and wasn’t depressed and didn’t wear dark clothes. This is on par with being astounded that a jew isn’t greedy and scheming…

If Atheists only realized what they have not got but they are in darkness as you said and it’s foolishness to them, (1Corinthians2:9-16) still we don’t know their hearts, they may repent before they die, at least we can pray for this.

But if you look deeper at this joke NotAScientist and I always do and also with comments and Posts too, it’s not just about an Atheist being eaten by a bear but that when given the chance to repent, after all he was in the presence of his Creator, he only thought about the here and now .
The bear was doing what came naturally up until the Atheist thought of a good way of getting what he wanted unnaturally, so he wouldn’t have to admit he was wrong even though he had proof he was. But instead of repenting even after being given a chance to do so, he asked for what he thought was a better way out to save his ego but it was interesting that those he mocks and tries to put down, he still thought would rescue him but a Bear is a Bear and an Atheist is an Atheist, that is if he is one in his heart and if so there is no way out, unless he repents and if he does this shows he was just a head Atheist.
I was a head Atheist for almost 30 years after being deceived by Atheists as a child and I sure got my life into a big mess and other Atheists helped me do this too but I repented just in time, like this Atheist I was given a way out too but I accepted the warning, have you NotAScientist or did you think this was just a joke ???
I will pray you don’t get eaten, as I do for other head Atheists but it is still your choice.

If you look at the joke deeper you realize it is a construction of a Christian and thus presents their interpretation of an atheist, not an actual one.
It is a work of fiction, top to bottom, that involves a murder that is supposed to be laughed at. Any way you look at it, this isn’t a joke you should be proud to tell or proud to laugh at.

Do you really care NotAScientist if someone gets eaten by a bear when it’s not based on reality or do you really believe a bear will say a prayer before he eats you or that God would change him into a Christian 🙄 it’s a warning!
Perhaps you also think it’s a joke the way you put Christians down on your Blog trying to make out we are not all there, but worse the way you mock and belittle God too.
What you need to do is clean up your act first , meaning your Blog before you come to ours with your objections. Just reading your last Post shows just how much you have been deceived but than having bug legs may really be what you want, if so be careful bugs get eaten, they are part of the food chain and so are we if we go into a Bears Territory meaning Satans, it’s not how God planed it by the way, it’s how man chose it to be!
I will continue to pray for you, Atheists don’t look for answers they imagine they know it all without any proof, which is what Darwin did until he faced death, have you ,NotAScientist

So I’m also kind enough to warn those who are in danger of being eaten by Satan but I’m pleased you do realize that as real Christians we are kind but remember that Jesus got the whip out to warn those who claim to be Christians but do what the world does, they even believe in Evolution, sad they are calling God a liar, like you do.

Hi again, I don’t know what your real name is even though you call yourself Shirley, I went and visited your Blog, I was as you are no doubt aware surprised but not so much by what you shared I have heard it all before but surprised and saddened that I had been set up.
This joke about the Atheist and the Bear many have found funny, it has been around a long time but I posted it as a warning to those who reject God in their heart, no they won’t be eaten by a bear it will be worse.
How do I feel about those who continue to rebel against God’s guidelines even if they claim they don’t or justify their sin or ignore it and yes they may still say Lord, Lord, it is not hard to copy or read theology and still not believe it in your heart and your actions will show if you do. Jesus tells me all those who show they are against Him by their actions are His enemy and mine too but He also tells me to Love my enemy, He died for us when we were still His enemies, in other words when we were still sinning, but one day Jesus’ enemies and mine may come to heart repentance and be part of His family and so they will be my Brother or Sister in The Lord, Jesus knows them by name I don’t so I hate no one, just what they do that is evil and so mocks God. When people speak blasphemy which is anything against God’s Truth it comes from an evil heart but it can be changed by repentance and turning away from evil and doing good by The Spirits empowering.
Luke 6:45-46 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

If they do not believe in god(s), they are still atheists, thus there are atheists in foxholes. Anyway, it’s still a myth, because, sorry, anecdotal “evidence” from a pretty christian centric military (in western countries) does not mean that much… Would be an interesting topic for studies, though, as it would probably show some insight into human psychology under stress.

Sorry Atomic Mutant, you won’t get an argument from Ron, I would say with assurance that he has enough evidence to support what he shared or he wouldn’t have shared it .
By the way worldly Psychology and Psychiatry has many flaws, it was originally based on Sigmund Fraud’s almost compulsive obsession with sex and how it was suppose to affect us, this has caused many wrong diagnoses over the years.
I go to God when needed, He created us so He knows what we need and after all He is the only Healer, regardless of the tools He uses. Doctors have never been able to explain the healings, I have had, some even at the point of death.

I was an active member of a discussion website for a number of years. The format was for members to post discussions with a question and other members would answer and comment. There were several categories. Christianity and religion were topics constantly posted.
I conducted many very long discussions with many atheists, agnostics, pagans, wiccans, those of eastern religions etc and even a couple of Muslim – as well as many Christians. All were conducted with respect and courtesy. They asked many questions to which they received Scriptural, historical and logical replies – and which they often could not refute. I know some were challenged.
Anne, we are called to sow the Seed. Sometimes we will have opportunity to water and/or fertilise the Seed. Sometimes we will be privileged to actually be involved in the harvest. We are to be faithful in our task, but it is GOD who is at work. It is HIS work and we leave it in HIS hands, knowing that we have fulfilled the role He gave us.
I know God will continue to bless you and use you to bless many others as you continue to serve Him.

I also have had many frustrating experiences with atheists. Too often I have fallen into the trap of trying to argue against their arguments using my own reasoning, which only increased my frustration. I find that as soon as I am about to make a point, they will change their argument, and the rules.
And then I realized the folly of following that course. Now, I will only counter their arguments with verses of scripture. I rely on Issiah 55:10-11, which says:
10 As the rain and the snow
come down from heaven,
and do not return to it
without watering the earth
and making it bud and flourish,
so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,
11 so is my word that goes out from my mouth:
It will not return to me empty,
but will accomplish what I desire
and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
If I don’t see the seed take root and bear fruit, I always know that God’s will is accomplished, whatever that may be.
I saw a video this morning that dealt with atheism that was quite surprising. Check it out here: http://www.godvine.com/From-Atheism-to-Believing-in-God-Unique-and-Powerful-312.html

Hi John thank you for the Link, I posted the same message a few months ago, I also thought it was very well done, how wonderful to see gifted Christians sharing God’s Truth in their own unique way.
Like you John I used Scripture to refute the Atheists, I didn’t argue with them but sadly they tried to use it against me by claiming among other things the Bible was just written by man. I showed them very clearly that was not possible as I did with Evolution, by the fact that only God could have known some of the Truths written in the Scriptures when they were recorded, so then they abused me if I shared them and said I had to stop and so it went on. But thankfully there were a few not many that wanted to know more, but then they blocked me.
You are so right my dear Brother God’s Truth always bears good Fruit even if we don’t see it.

Have you ever Ministered to Atheists, please be warned, at first I didn’t even know I was on their Website the part I commented on was titled Religion and Christianity, some who wrote the topics even claimed to be Christian, sadly what they shared was not.
I started just sharing my Love for The Lord and my work with Children and bam bam I was aggressively attacked with hate and ill will and so was every Christian who entered there. Many times like commenting on Blogs now, I felt lead to share but was mocked and ridiculed and so was God and other Christians but as I said there were a few who I believe listened especially when I used humour but sadly the majority like Satan their father burned with hatred.
What do I now give thanks for … although I know it was not God’s will that I was hurt I have much knowledge on Atheism and the Cults, I know there is some people you cannot reach they are spiritually dead eternally but yes we are even to Love our enemies and bear with them.
