An Athiest says "there is no God. God does not exist" They make an absolute statement. An agnostic says "its not possible to prove that God does or does not exist" Some make this absolute statement, while others simply say "maybe yes, maybe no...who cares"
Romans 1:20-21 says "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.
God has placed an inate knowledge of Himself within us all. We were created in His image, by the work of His will. Every person, be it athiest or agnostic or believer, has seen the works of His hands. Every person has said....hmmm, I wonder.
The athiest and the agnostic have seen the works of His hands in creation and have made a decision. The decision they have made is to reject God. I contend, that deep in their hearts, they know of the existance of God. They are merely choosing to deny God the honor and glory he deserves.
Deep in the heart of every athiest and agnostic, is this inate desire to understand the origins of the world, and the origins of their being. While they outwardly claim these outlandish claims, inwardly they seek the peace and contentment that God alone provides. They cant help it, because thats the way the great engineer made us.
I was once told by a slick salesmen to watch for the sign "no soliciting" I was told that that was fertile ground to make the sale. So it is with athiests and agnostics. Deep inside, they are lonely and troubled people seeking meaning. Their outward stance is merely a sign saying "no soliciting"
God has placed within everyone an inate knowledge of himself. Ok where can ya back that up? or is it just what ya imagine to be the case cus ya idealistic? i thought we were born into sin and that God has to soften hard hearts, open deaf ears and blinded eyes to himself. If that is the case then how can eveyone secretly know?
