Bible Question:
HOW CAN AN AGNOSTIC BECOME A TRUE BELIEVER IN GOD |
Bible Answer: Greetings, An Agnostic becomes a believer by the same way everyone else does, by not only acknowledging the existence of God, but also admitting that he is the one true God. The problem lies in proving to the Agnostic that God exists. It was said by my philosophy teacher in college that a true atheist is one who is absolutely positive that there is no God. He went on to say that the only way to make such a claim is to know everything that is knowable, which is impossible. It was his conclusion that there are no true atheists. However, he went on to say that what we call atheism is little more than varying degrees of Agnosticism because we don't know everything. A true Agnostic will admit that he doesn't know everything, and will also admit that the proof for God's existence lies in that knowledge he doesn't have. Now, there are people who will disagree with my former philosophy teacher's definitions, but it does make sense from a certain point of view. The Old Testament refers to people who claim there is no God as being fools. In proverbs, the Fool is described as a person who rejects knowledge. I explained it once to a person who claimed to be an atheist that my faith isn't blind faith. I believe in God, Jesus Christ, and the Bible for a reason. That reason is founded upon facts. We don't believe in mythology and make believe. We believe in actual people who participated in actual events at actual times in history. My advice, start with the facts, and go from there. Jalek |
