HI cHRIS,

SHE’S ALSO AN ATHEIST. i LOVE HER VERY MUCH BECAUSE SHE’S ONE OF THE FEW PEOPLE THAT UNDERSTANDS ME AND MY PERSONALITY, BUT i DON’T WANT THAT TO AFFECT MY RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Answer

Sam,

It is not wise to date someone who does not share your faith or your values. The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 6:14 (NAS), “Do not be bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness?” Your first priority in life is always your relationship with God. “Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole [duty] of man” (Ecclesiastes 12:13, NIV).

I recommend the book I Kissed Dating Goodbye. It will give you a much needed perspective for Christians in today’s culture.

Should I write a book to help atheists see that God is real?

Pastor Chris,

I have recently thought about writing a book to help Atheists see that God iS real. To do this I have studied quantum mechanics and scientific theories about how the universe began. One theory is multiverse theory (multiple universes theory). I find this possible and i think that it can go with Christianity. I believe it is possible that God created heaven, hell, and earTh in three different universes. I am a lutheran christian and in no way want to blasmephy the spirit. So before i write this book for them i want to make sure that this is in no way against the LORd. I just want atheists to see that god And science do not have to go against eAch other.

Parker,

God is definitely real. It is a good thing to present evidences for Christianity to non-believers and to those who call themselves atheists. Just remember that God is the One who opens the eyes of the blind and the spiritually blind. He must convince non-believers through the working of His Spirit in their lives John 16:7-15). Our job is to bear witness to Him. I would urge you to include scripture in your arguments. God’s word is living and active (Hebrews 4:12). A classic book on defending the authenticity of Christianity is The New Evidence That Demands A Verdict Fully Updated To Answer The Questions Challenging Christians Today.
