Only Christ can save souls
Got that one wrong, junior.
"No one shall come to me unless the Father draw him".
It is utterly ignorant confabulation that atheist have "a choice".
One does not have an honest "choice" to affirm that which one honestly thinks is the truth.
While that is completely true, How do you know that all current atheists are and will always be atheist? I once did not believe in God, but the "Father drew " and I then had a choice to make. Fore just because God called me does not mean I had to answer. Are you familiar with the parable of the prodigal son? The Father in that story wanted his son by his side but allowed him to not only leave but to stay gone and spend all that he was given to live the life the son wanted to live. It wasn't till the son made the choice to return did the Father rush out and welcomed him home.
Quote:But thanks for exposing how completely bizarre the brains of believers are, or is your god so fucking stupid she wouldn't know if someone *said* they believed, and really didn't ?Professing belief, or even believing that you are 'christian' because of what you do does not make you one. As per what Christ said in mat 7. The choice I was taking about was the choice Christ offered and died to provide.
