One of the key problems with atheists is that they don't understand 2 Corinthians 4:4, and I understand all of this because we're all born atheists until we're born again which is what happened to me in 1994 where and when I experienced the conviction of sin John 16:8-9 after my beautiful mother who's with the Lord now had prayed for me for 16 years, and that changed everything for me, like it says in Colossians 1:13, I experience being delivered out of the Dominion of darkness and transferred into the Kingdom of his Light

 Preachers who claim we are worthless even once saved have no clue who and what they are in Christ if they are in Christ, the moment we are born again, the moment our spirit has been regenerated is the moment we receive a new nature which is the very same nature that Jesus was born with which is a divine nature or a nature of sonship, sons of God, holy, blameless, Beyond reproach, the righteousness of God in our Union with Christ the second Adam, I could go on and on and on but I won't bore you, if you ever took the time to meditate on these great truths or realities call New Creation realities you would be preaching and teaching the true gospel and not a false gospel. Shalom.

 After I got born again in 1994 the first thing the Lord began to teach me out of the word was out of the Epistles especially when it comes to the Judgment seat of Christ and the Great White Throne judgment which is all in the Epistles and then he began to teach me about in Christ realities or New Creation realities which are all in Paul's Epistles as well as the other pistols of course but Paul had more revelation on the great theme of in Christ and what it is to be in our Union with Christ the second Adam once you are born of Incorruptible seed, and then later on the Lord brought me to the four gospels regarding Supernatural healings and deliverances which is a big part of our ministry as an apostle to the Nations

 In leaving out Paul you are leaving out the true Jesus but will be embracing another Jesus which the Apostle Paul warned us about, fair warning

 The greatest testimony you can give to words the atheist is a changed life as it is clearly seen in Colossians 1:13 when we are delivered from the Dominion of Darkness and transferred into Kingdom of his light, delivered from all kinds of bad habits, delivered from all kinds of sin, and so forth, I'm not saying what you said is not true but I know a lot of atheists who are in severely bad accidents and they survived so called miraculously but I doubt very much that God was in it, newness of life is the greatest testimony But ultimately only the Holy Spirit can convince anyone of God's existence through John 16:8-9 the conviction of sin which is how I was born again

 Yes you're right and what you're saying absolutely because the person that was crucified on that cross was not God the Word because we know God the Word was made to be flesh or Man John 1:14, and we know Paul talks about Jesus being the second / last Adam, 1 Corinthians 15, but also interesting not only was he our substitute meaning he took our place on that cross but the word also says that we were crucified with him, died with him, buried with him, raised with him and seated with him at the right hand of majesty. Jesus was made to be sin with our sin and some say that Jesus became a sinner at the cross but that's wrong because he never sinned to begin with, it's something that the church really needs to get a hold of because there's a practical side to this in order to walk out this great reality regarding the cross and everything that took place at the cross in order to make available the new birth, the new creation / Man Ephesians 2:15, so that we can walk as Jesus walked as sons of God, doing the same works that he did by the Spirit Acts 10:38 and even greater works. Shalom

 Speaking the truth is now called hateful or hate speech, well you just wait until you face God in the great white Throne judgment and see how that turns out for you
