Eph. 2:12 says it all... to be " without God " is translated from
the Greek word " atheos " from which we get our English word
" atheist. "
according to God's Word the Bible, He has written in His Book of
Life before time began just whom He would save from the wages of
sin... while yet He has other ' books ' containing the names of all
those not granted eternal life. Rev. 20
thus, it is way beyond the thought life of those passed by for
salvation that God even exists. this is what it means to be ' lost, '
with the added attraction that Judgement and eternal death is eminent.
take for example that Catholic priest who came up with the Big Bang
theory a century ago...
here's a guy who claims publicly a kinship with God all the while he
openly blasphemes Him. that fellow is lost.
take for example Charles Darwin. heres a fellow his dead religion
did not do a thing worthy of the Living God for him and being
' without God, ' since God chose to pass by Charles Darwin, concocted
his own religion of Evolution which try's in vain to say God does not
exist.
furthermore, people ' without God ' can rightly say God has a
personal knowledge of them in that He has chosen them for Judgement
and death... their names are written in the ' books. ' however the
Almighty came to not choosing them for life eternal with Himself is
not searchable. that doesn't automatically negate the truth that
being lost proves there is no God...
being lost proves there is a God. ( but not to the lost; this too,
from God. 2 Tim. 2:26 )... concocting such an ignorant story as
Evolution proves those who endorse it are lost. these can not think
any higher simply because they are shut up in darkness, held there by
God, and most astoundingly, don't know it. but that's why God is All
Mighty.
on the other hand, God has shown mercy to those whom He's chosen to
be the heirs of salvation purchased by the Son of God, Jesus Christ,
for them in particular. these are given His indwelling Holy Spirit
and know they are known of God, forgiven yet sinners, speaking His
Word to the lost if perhaps out of them God has chosen one for mercy.
there is no requirement on the part of the Almighty to show Himself
to the atheist in any other way than that which is before everyone's
eye's anyway... we have Creation. we have the Rainbow. we have
conscience. we have the Gospel in the stars. we have our own shame to
hide by wearing clothes. we have the Lord Jesus Christ.
