There is Dr Atheist, now this man that I was speaking to in Derby that was his doctor, well he changed doctors while I was talking to him actually but to start with he was relying upon Dr Atheist, if you split the word up theist means God and the prefix A it means no, so it means that he believes that there is no God, the Atheist says there is no God and Psalm 14 says holding to that view categorises him as a fool,
Look around you where do you think it all came from? Look at the stars in the sky where do you think it all came from? And I was just talking to this man and I asked him “do you think it just happened, do you think that something just came out of nothing, what do you think?” and of course then he was backed into a corner but the atheist is comfortable in part with
2 Peter 3:4 all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation."
He doesn’t like that bit about creation because he doesn’t believe in creation but he is very happy about, oh everything continues as it was its called uniformitarianism and you leave God out completely and they are very comfortable with that and Dr Atheist says there is no hereafter so you don’t have to worry about anything like that but then the anxious soul with a conscious awakened, you see this man must have his conscious awakened somehow to have engaged me in this conversation and folks we need to recognise this in people when they are talking to us. He must have had a conscious awakening otherwise he would not have engaged me in the conversation that he engaged me in and the awakened conscious says to this Dr Atheist
“how do you know there is no God, do you have total knowledge, have you searched every corner of all the universe so that you can say that there is no God? You arrogant puny man you to say such a thing, worthless physician if ever there was one,"
and my friend changed his mind and he turned at that point to another one called Dr Agnostic.
The word agnostic is also split into two parts the prefix a at the beginning means no and the next part, you may be familiar with the Gnostics the knowing ones, well agnostic means we don’t know, no knowing and all is uncertainty amongst the agnostics. Now let me personalise this, I’ll put myself in the position of an unsaved person for the sake of illustrating this because here I am in need of something folks I have just suddenly become conscious that I have got a problem in my conscience it is troubling me, I know there is something wrong, I know I am not right and I am conscious of something that the bible calls sin and I am trying to deal with this and I am trying to deal with it and this was the position that this friend of mine was in he wouldn’t admit it but that is where he is coming from and Dr Agnostic says
“Well we can’t know, we can’t be sure, we can’t really know anything”
and do you know you find out what a useless Dr he is and it is so tragic because so many people are listening to him
“Don’t worry, never mind I’ll introduce you to another Dr he can help you his name is Dr False Peace."
