Atheists On Our Need To Share Jesus

[Paul Worcester]

It is amazing to hear the clarity that so many atheists have when it comes to believers need to be on mission. Do we really believe what we say we believe? Do we really believe that those without Christ will spend eternity in Hell? If we do then living on mission should be one of our top priorities in life.

A famous criminal and atheist said this to a pastor who was sharing Christ with him before his execution. “do you believe that? Do you believe that? If I believed that I would willingly crawl across England over broken glass to tell me it was true”

Penn a famous comedian and Atheist shares similar thoughts in this moving video. 

A phrase that stood out to me is "How much do you have to you hate someone to believe that everlasting life is possible and not tell them?" 

A well know evangelist got a letter from an Atheist saying this.

Ray,

You are really convinced that you've got all the answers.  You've really got yourself tricked into believing that you're 100% right. Well, let me tell you just one thing. Do you consider yourself to be compassionate of other humans? If you're right, as you say you are, and believe that, then how can you sleep at night? When you speak with me you are speaking with someone who you believe is walking directly into eternal damnation into an endless onslaught of horrendous pain which your 'loving' god created, yet you stand by and do nothing.

If you believe one bit that thousands every day were falling into an eternal and unreacheable fate, you should be running the streets mad with rage at their blindness.  That's equivalent to standing on a street corner and watching every person that passes you walk blindly directly into the path of a bus and die, yet you stand idly by and do nothing. You're just twiddling your thumbs, happy in the knowledge that one day that 'walk' signal will shine your way across the road.

Think about it. Imagine the horrors Hell must have in store if the bible is true. You're just going to allow that to happen and not care about saving anyone but yourself? If you're right then you're an uncaring, unemotional and purely selfish (expletive) that has no right to talk about subjects such as love and caring.

The entire discourse between Ray and this atheist is now in a fascinating book called, Intelligent Design versus Evolution—letters to an atheist.

How does hearing these thoughts motivate you to share Jesus more boldly?

Do our actions show that we really care about the eternal state of those without Jesus?

What helps you keep an eternal perspective?
