You need to either quit showing your ignorance of scripture or start studying it and see it's truth. Again I see the truth in the scriptures while you continue to deceive yourself.You see right there is the problem. You leave no room for the possibility that you could be wrong. If the atheist doesnt see it as you then they are deceiving themselves, if they do then you were right all along. Just like the hiddenness of god if someone sincerely reaches out and finds god then they did it right, if they don't find god they weren't sincere enough. The other possibility is that the scriptures say what they say and they were the best attempt of bronze age goat herders, but that they are no longer relevant, and that there is no god. You cannot rule that possibility out but you act like you those possibilities do not exist and it's the atheist fault for not believing as you do. It is the consequence and arrogance of faith that you are so certain on things that you cannot possibly know.
I do absolutely know, I have a real relationship with God and have seen His works. There is no possibility that He does not exist, can I prove this in a way that will satisfy you, no, but that is not my fault I have given to you some of the things I know of God yet you reject them, the burden falls on you.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
