Once in a while.
poor preaching and poor teaching of the gospel would do it.
The man can’t find a decent dentist but I’m supposed to listen to him on God???
An agnostic atheist is someone who doesn’t know if there’s a God or not …That would not be what the phrase “agnostic atheist” would literally mean, no. “I don’t know that God doesn’t exist, but I believe he definitely does not exist” seems to be what that indicates. More doublethink.
“No one knows if there’s a God”
Wrongola, dummy.
“Once you start to evaluate the evidence with an open mind, you will likely run into a major roadblock within your own soul. Namely, your moral resistance to Jesus and your personal aversion to God’s claim on your life.”
This, in itself is a form of evidence. A sinner’s heart will struggle against the message of Christ like no other message on this earth, like a vampire avoiding sunlight.
Gervais said, “No one knows if there’s a God, so technically, everyone’s agnostic. We don’t know. An agnostic atheist is someone who doesn’t know if there’s a God or not, as no one does.”
Psalm 19 + Romans 1 say you’re LYING, Gervais. It’s been made plain, so you are without excuse.
There are some pretty rotten Christians and sects of the faith that are not good so yes. And corrupt leadership does more damage than anything else. Corrupted Christian leader help the devil in his aims.
Orthodox Jews know G-d exists because they know that over 3300 years ago their ancestors at the foot of Mt. Sinai experienced a revelation unlike any other claimed revelation in history--a public revelation to some three million people, not by some miracle working human being but by the invisible, infinite G-d (they experience was so terrifying they began crying to G-d to stop before they all died).
There is an unbroken chain of transmission that connects that generation to all Jewish generations till the end of time. And there are laws (not found in the Written Torah!) for writing Torah Scrolls that assure all kosher Torah scrolls in use in Orthodox synagogues are identical to the scrolls Moses wrote at the end of his life and to the First Great Scroll in Heaven.
Gervais can’t even define what he is without contradicting himself.
I don’t worry about it. It’s a personal decision and can’t be forced.
If the guy ever had an encounter with God, he would know.
I was not raised in what most people would call a religious home but I always sensed that some one or some power was up
there keeping an eye on every one and every thing.
It was only after I got older and got into religion that I
started having any doubt’s, since then I have found some
good churches but no good religions.
