1 | Need advice about spreading the Gospel | Rom 10:14 | chynna | 136110 | ||
Has anyone here personally experienced success in getting the Gospel across to an atheist? Could someone maybe recommend a book on how to discuss the Gospel with one? And this is really my dilemma at the moment,is it worthwhile going through the effort of trying to prove God through attempting to outwit an atheist in a game of logics over the existence of God? Thanks in advance for any advice. | ||||||

Hi, Chynna! Aside from being well-versed in Scripture (which is a great thing because if moves us to, fervently and studiosly, study the Bible) tons of perseverance and patience! You must also be consistent! I have come across a few people (atheists and non-Christians) who have accepted Christ as their Lord and Savior... the worst of the lot is the Christian who has allowed Satan rob him/her of the Truth and has left the Faith--sometimes to embrace Satanism! The hardest to work with are the intellectual atheists--these have, for the most part, a tremendous amount of Scriture retention, which could dwarf many Believers'... Start, if you are not doing so yet, by intensifying your prayers sessions--the person/s you are instructing is your spiritual disciple, hence, your are spiritually responsible for him/her, your prayers must reflect that commitment! Use as little or as much Scripture as he/she is able to asimilate--never offer an endless list of Scripture for individual study (everything you offer must be covered during each meeting--this leaves no room for cluster/speed study (covering a large amount of books or topics in superficial and counterproductive ways)... Don't be afraid to do homework! Sometimes the questions or Scriptural passages must be studied further before moving on to another level/topic... do so! It is better to study the same material for a long period of time than to leave the person in the dark or for one self to be in the dark! One simple must do rule: Establish that your exchange is meant for study of Scripture and not for political or philosophical study--your willingness to spend time discussing Scripture should yield at least a common goal: learning about the Bible. Request that the person study just as hard as you--bending over-backwards by allowing him/her the flexibility of not reading Scripture (out of some misguided respect for his/her belief) will only exasperate your efforts and yield greater callousness from him/her. I'll be praying for your efforts! God Bless! Angel |
