Can an Atheist argue someone out of faith?
#16
RE: Can an Atheist argue someone out of faith?
Quote:Also I believe someone asked me to define "God" as I see Him (I use the masculine solely because "it" sounds impersonal). Good move, always useful to define your terms. God is the almighty and all-knowing being who created the universe and created the people within it. Since He created everything He is superior to natural laws, but sustains them in His continued work in creation at the quantum level (see: Nancey Murphy, “Divine Action in the Natural Order: Buridan’s Ass and Schrodinger’s Cat”). God has chosen to reveal Himself to His creation through His words in the Bible, and through His personal contact with His people. God is completely good and Holy, and He has already carried out His plan to save His suffering creation. First by sending Jesus to save the world and the people in it, and next by His kingdom on earth. God's kingdom on earth consists of God Himself working to restore creation right now, and the those in His Church that believe in doing what He says (Disciples) are also working. Christ's disciples have a mission to save the world by following the teachings of Jesus, which show us how to make the world a better place and care for our fellow humans. At some point God will completely fix the world, and the Kingdom will be complete. This is very brief definition, and I didn't get to include all the theology I wanted to, but I think it will serve us.

I beleive you personaly cannot be talked out of your faith.
