What Bible Say about Atheism
The idea of God exists ever since the beginning of humankind . You go to anywhere in the world, and you will encounter some form or idea of God. And even though, their views of God may be world apart, it conveys the universal belief in the existence of God. But, is there God? Does God exist? Who is God? Now, This is a vast subject. And my goal here is not to prove the existence of God, but to demonstrate What bible say about God’s existence.
In today’s society, Popular belief is to deny the existence of God. Many of the ‘Intellectuals’ do not believe in God and discard God as a wishful thinking driven by fear of the unknown in ancient time, which has no value in today’s highly advanced society. Here is Bible’s answer to those who deny God. Now, it may sound rude to many. But this is exactly what Bible says, when it talks about Atheism! of the common powers of understanding, and a person deficient in intellect; one who acts absurdly, or one without judgment.
It is quite interesting that the very reason used to deny the existence of God, are used in Bible to prove its existence. According to Bible, It is a matter of reason, common sense, and judgment to believe in God. Only those who lack these basic characteristics can deny God! Psalm 14 describes the consequences of “World without God”. It is interesting that Psalm 53 is identical to this Psalm. ( Probably, to prove the point!) Jesus portrayedthe picture of ‘Rich Fool’ who thought to, “take life easy; eat, drink and be merry. But God said to him, “You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?” (Luke 12:18-20) Jesus reminded his audience of the grave consequences of rejecting God. Paul also illustrated the consequence of deliberate denial of God in Romans. “For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools…” (Romans 1:21-22)
What are the consequences of “World without God”? (Psalm 14: 1-7, Romans 1: 18 -32, Romans 3: 9-17)
There is no one who does good! There is no absolute sense of goodness!
No one seeks God.
All have turned away, know nothing.
They are corrupt, their deeds are vile.
No absolute sense of morality or justice
Depraved mind and body
These passages give us totally opposite picture of human race, than what we think about ourselves. A Famous Indian Philisopher and Teacher, Swami Vivekananda said, ‘Man is inherently good.’ ‘It is sin to call man sinner’. We think high of ourselves. But our idea of ‘good’ fall far shorter than absolute ‘good’ which God desires . In conversation with rich ruler, Jesus brought the same issue, “No one is good except God alone. (Luke 18:19) If we take God out of equation, our standard of goodness will never reach the absolute ‘goodness of God’.
So, what bible say about atheism? It portrays a person of ‘Unwise position (foolish) with no sense of Good’, and that is not a very good position! This article is rather simple presentation of biblical view of [spin] Atheism. |denying existence of God. I hope that the arguments and ideas used in this article will be used in constructive and positive ways.
