Conversation with An Atheist

[Wrangler]

Great. I'm happy for you.
Just try to remember all of the good people who are suffering in the lake of fire while you're enjoying your eternal life...

I reject ECT, eternal conscious torment. The wages of sin is death. Judgement Day results in Second Death. It is the fire that burns eternally not people.

Annihilation - I've yet to be convinced that isn't the case

This guy has a PhD in theology ?

I was an atheist. Quantum physics set me on the path to Jesus

As a young atheist, he saw the universe as one big machine Then he studied quantum physics, read the New Testament for the first time, and noticed something startling Jesus talked like a quantum

Quantum physics turns logic on its head. Suddenly and enigmatically, the solid, material world becomes a ghostly cloud of probabilities, supernatural behavior becomes natural, and complete opposites become unified realities.

It’s precisely that utterly illogical strangeness that seized my attention when I read the New Testament for the first time. I could scarcely believe it! This alleged, Iron-Age Jesus of Nazareth spoke like a modern-day quantum physicist.

Unlike the instructions on how to live from any other sacred figure I’d ever read (by then, I had immersed myself in all the major religions), Jesus’s teachings turned logic on its head. During His Sermon on the Mount, for example, he admonished the crowd to love their enemies, that in order to live they first must die, that the first among them were, in fact, the last, and on and on.

This quantum-like language is what made me rise to the bait. It’s what caused me to further investigate Christianity with an open, analytical mind.

These comparisons are extremely loose and definitely retrospective.

"that in order to live they first must die"...

As you surely know, the words of Elohim are Spirit, and as even Paul says, the Torah is spiritual, (Rom 7:14a). The Master teaches us how to die in the manner which is pleasing to the Father, and it is absolutely not physical death: it is the death of the old man nature. This language is also found in the Prophets, but not fully expounded until the Testimony of the Master in the Gospel accounts expounds it all, (at the very least, all things necessary to understand the supernal and spiritual ways of the Father so that we may walk pleasing unto Him). This language is even included in the New-Renewed Covenant as follows:

Jeremiah 31:26-31 KJV
26 Upon this I awaked, and beheld; and my sleep was sweet unto me.
27 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of beast.
28 And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched over them, to pluck up, and to break down, and to throw down, and to destroy, and to afflict; so will I watch over them, to build, and to plant, saith the LORD.
29 In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge.
30 But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.
31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:

It is appointed unto men once to die, (of course women too, all mankind), then comes the judgment: so what is the answer to the dilemma in the above highlighted verse according to the Meshiah? One must take up his or her own stake and follow him, and that obviously means his Testimony and the understanding of his teachings, (which are spiritual, John 6:63, not physical).

Therefore die now: for the flesh profits nothing, (John 6:63), but if one refuses and rather waits until the carcass dies, then the same will die with the carcass, never having been set right in the eyes of the Creator. Therefore if your right eye is always wandering off the narrow path toward the ditch, pluck it out and cast it from you: if your right hand offends you, cut it off and cast it from you, and if your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and cast it from you, etc., etc.

Paul's answer is the same, Mortify or put to death our members upon-concerning the earth, (things of below), Mortify or put to death the deeds of the body, (physical, carnal, and the natural-minded things of below), and walk according to the Spirit, (of the Testimony of the Meshiah), in all of our understanding: for the Testimony of the Meshiah was given to him from above, from the heavens, from the Father, (John 3:27-34), and the Father has sealed that Testimony by voice from the heavens, (according to the Testimonies), and the words therefore shall never pass away, just as the Master says in the Olivet Discourse.

Yet, comparing the illogic of quantum mechanics to Jesus‘ teachings is correct, yes?

Poor Macu needs to focus on anything that distracts him from his belief that there is NOTHING after death & that he will never see deceased loved ones again
