I find it revealing that so many Protestants and Catholics/Orthodox on this forum spend more time and effort in debate with each other than with atheists or agnostics.

I also find it revealing that most of the activist atheists [and there are many] - ignore all the other beliefs and concentrate their attacks on Christians – and more specifically, Christians who believe the Scriptures are inerrant.

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places].

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. - Ephesians 6:10-13

The spirit of anti-Christ is running amok in today’s society as we can see from the myriad articles posted on the News Forum – and yet the most faithful tend to congregate and exhort and/or encourage one another.

Of a truth, I believe this is the Holy Spirit’s leading for our age (emphasis mine:)

Behold, I come quickly: blessed [is] he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

And I John saw these things, and heard [them]. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. Then saith he unto me, See [thou do it] not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.

And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.

He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. – Revelation 22:7-11

Maranatha, Jesus!

Well, you have a point here. Maybe it's because it's difficult to see any progress with atheists, while there can and has been maturation among Christians to better understand God's will and His word. I know I have grown a lot in my understanding thanks to these discussions.

Hopefully, these threads on the RF, by strengthening our own faith, equip us better to engage with non-believers in the real world.

As a Postmil, I believe it is incumbent on all believers to preach loudly and to all men.

But those atheist guys scare me. 8~)

"For the time is at hand."

Very true, but when has it not been?
