God Almighty doesn't need His atheists approval to exist nor to
carry on with His work of saving sinners. some are shown mercy, some
are hardened. ( Ro. 9:18 ) now, where do you suppose the atheist
fits in to Romans 9:18 ?
" He has mercy on whom He desires, and He hardens whom He desires. "
( Ro. 9:18 )
while the Atheist rightly looks upon what TV evangelists preach as
trash, and as he sees the murderous, money grabbing philosophy of
selling forgiveness of sins the Catholics are famous for, as well as
their idol worship and Polytheism... if he's ever encountered a Moonie
or a Jehovah Witness... he rightly sees no value in religion... none
of these are telling the truth about the Person and work of the Lord
Jesus Christ.
the only source of truth is in the Holy Scriptures.
there we read that no one is capable of accepting Jesus Christ unto
salvation; it is God choice who will be saved and who will not be
saved. Romans 9:18 tells you that.
while the Evangelical types insist otherwise, saying Christ died for
everybody and desperately wants all to make a decision to accept Him
as their Lord and Savior so as to become saved... the Bible says quite
to the contrary.
the Bible says He came to save " His people " ( Mt. 1:21 ) and no
one else. ( Jn. 17:9 ) it is these and these alone who have been
given the faith of Jesus and are saved unto eternal life.
those of His marked for mercy are those who's names He wrote in His
Book of Life before He ever created the all things. and, wonderfully,
the good and bad people do are never taken into account when He made
this choice ( Ro. 9:11 )... it rests solely in the secret counsel of
God.
He is called ' Almighty ' since He can make anew the most hardened
sinner as well as keep under chains those who are appointed to His
wrath.
