Talking to Non Spiritual Idiots
By Dahni ©️ 2021, all rights reserved
FYI: The word “idiots” comes from the ancient Greek word ἴδιος idios [pronounced ih-dee-oase] and means, “one’s own.” It is not meant here to be derogatory or as an insult. It’s nothing to be ashamed of per se. I used to be an idiot and I am quite sure there are those that still think I am. 😂
By the way, God knows we need to know, not doubt worry or fear. Contrary to the belief of many, no place in the entire Bible does it suggest, hint or demand anyone accept anything from the Bible or from anyone, by faith! In fact, if any clergy, priest or devout religious person suggests that you don’t have faith, enough faith or you lost your faith, so you cannot know— that person has no idea what they are talking about! In other words, they don’t know, but they don’t want you to know that they don’t know and want to pass the blame onto you. Accepting anything by faith is totally illogical and it makes words useless, as a tool for communication. What does the Bible say about faith [believing]? Much! Here is one verse.
“So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
Roman 10:17 King James Version (KJV)
The word faith in the Bible is always, always in the Greek, the word Πίστις pistis and means, believing. Believing is a verb and it connotes action. All usages of the word are always believing, with only one or a few exceptions and it is more about faithfulness than ever about accepting anything or anyone by faith. How does one believe? By hearing (or reading), and hearing (or reading), the Word of God.
How confident can one be in this knowledge (if acted upon—believed)?
“These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God [which represents all that Jesus Christ is and does], so that you will know [with settled and absolute knowledge] that you [already] have eternal life. This is the [remarkable degree of] confidence which we [as believers are entitled to] have before Him: that if we ask anything according to His will, [that is, consistent with His plan and purpose] He hears us.” “And if we know [for a fact, as indeed we do] that He hears and listens to us in whatever we ask, we [also] know [with settled and absolute knowledge] that we have [granted to us] the requests which we have asked from Him.”
I John 5:13-15 Amplified Bible (AMB)
With all the confusion and division and anger going on right now, it is a great time to share the Word of God with people as they may be more open to it now, than they have been in the past? Let your light shine and have fun! Yes, have fun with the naysayers, the doubters and unbelievers! Just remember that we are supposed to know the Word of God, to the end that we can answer any question!!!
“But sanctify [set apart] the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man [woman or child—”man is an inclusive noun] that asketh [asks] you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear [awe, certainty not being afraid of God, EVER]:”
I Peter 3:15 KJV
A friend sent me this:
“Someone put me down saying oh your man will come from the clouds and save you that’s just a myth. I told him yup and you better hope I’m wrong!”
I responded with:
You could just tell them all about being an agnostic. You know, the kind that says, “Well I don’t know, but I don’t wanna’ say there is no God, just in case there is, and just in case there is not, I don’t want to say, there is a God. “
Then you could just say they’re better off just being an atheist. God would probably be a little bit more forgiving to those that at least made up their minds? The definition of an agnostic from the Greek agnoeo αγυοϵο [pronounced ag-no-eh’-o] out of nous (mind). In the vernacular, they are out of their minds. 😂 No wonder God would prefer to just spew them out His mouth, as they are neither hot nor cold. 😂
The one thing that probably bothers me more than almost anything is, people talking and arguing, and ridiculing others, about things they know nothing about. Be honest, if you are going to argue that there is no God, doesn’t it make sense to know what the Bible says to support your belief? Atheists misquote stuff all the time. I don’t care that they don’t believe in God, that is their choice; it is their right. But it’s just not honest, trying to prove your point, without knowledge of that which you seek to disprove. I am quite aware that you can go to the Bible to prove almost anything, including that— “There is no God.” Yes it does say this! Look up Psalm 14:1 sometime. There is just one problem with this argument, “There is no God.” Reread the the rest of the verse. It also says, “The Fool says in their heart…” That is left completely out of their so-called proof.
Well, in continuing talking to idiots and having fun, you could play with them about Stephen Hawking, the genius and theoretical physicist. One reason Hawking’s atheism was less well-known was, he seemed to fudge the question of God’s existence for years. In his 1988 seminal best-seller, ’A Brief History of Time’ he wrote:
“The whole history of science has been the gradual realization that events do not happen in an arbitrary manner, but that they reflect a certain underlying order, which may or may not be divinely inspired.”
excerpt from: ‘A Brief History of Time’ by Stephen Hawking
Say what? That sounds like he was an agnostic not an atheist? Oh, and to write about the ‘history of time’, how would he know unless, he lived there in the beginning or he got some information from, I don’t know, God? 😂
WOW, a genius titled his own book and he was so smart, but he had no common sense. He didn’t know the difference between an agnostic, which is what he was and an atheist, which is what he claimed he was.
How about star and cosmos man Carl Sagan, the atheist that said we are all just made from the stuff of stars. I like that actually, it sounds poetic and stuff, but like Hawking, how would Sagan know this? 😂
For icing 🧁 on the cake, 🎂 you could bring up the much beloved Richard Dawkins, sometimes called Darwin’s Rottweiler, author and creator of what we now know as memes. You know, memes, like we see the trendy crazy Bernie Sander’s memes, seen everywhere now-a-days. 😂
Oh Dichard Hawkins, as I sometimes call him, he’s really got his shite together (he’s British), and that’s a good word, “shite”. Yep, he is so together, he is a self-professed atheist and an agnostic!!! WOW, another genius that has no common sense! He can’t even make up his mind that he’s already made up his mind there is no God, but he’s just not sure.🤪😜😛🤓😝🙃🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
If I felt sorry for these idiots, I would feel sorry for them, but I don’t so I won’t. They cannot prove what they believe (science and all), but there are ample proofs [signs, miracles and wonders] available to God’s people and those willing to have an open mind. Signs miracles and wonders (daily), is God’s marketing program, so to speak. He knows us and he knows we need proof!
Then, when you’re done playing with them and if they’re still open to having a conversation, after you’ve just blown their minds, you can say well, “Would you like to be sure if there is a God or not? And then, just suggest that they study the Bible, specifically the seven church epistles. Suggest that they don’t read anything else, just the seven churches epistles— Romans through I and II Thessalonians and do it for three months. Suggest that they not listen to anybody else, what they say about Bible, just read exactly what it says in the Bible. If nothing else, they would at least be able to know something about what they argue about. WOW, doing this, it might just make them a believer! And the worst that could possibly happen is, they could have a new and improved attitude and have such a good time going nowhere that doesn’t exist! 😀
By the way, research the humor in the Bible sometime. There is a lot of it! Why yes, God has a great sense of humor. So should you and I.
If you have to or get to talk to idiots, you might as well have fun and a good time! 👍 And you just never know, someone might actually want to know!
Now if you want to dispute any of this. Go for it, but I did not write the Bible, I’m just…
