Why Non-Believer's Can't Comprehend Christianity....

[Bonzi]

2 Corinthians 4:4

Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don't believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don't understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.

Don't expect to get far in a discussion with a non-believer or explain your salvation experience or your faith, they are incapable of understanding.

 

[Spinster]

It's a spiritual thing. To "see" the things of God you must have sight of His kingdom and have His spirit. For atheists, they see only the things of satan because the Lord's spirit doesn't dwell in them.

They don't understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.

Yet you people claim he is one in the same..

yes, because he IS God
1 God, 3 Persons... get it?

"Why Non-Believer's Can't Comprehend Christianity...."

Nonsense.

Non-Christians are perfectly capable of 'comprehending' Christianity – there are Jews and Muslims who have a comprehensive understanding of Christianity, often a better understanding than many Christians.

Indeed, in the United States, the majority of those free from faith were once Christian, who also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of Christianity.

Consequently the OP's premise fails, and is yet another example of the arrogance common to most Christians.

Wrong.

Those free from faith simply acknowledge the fact that there is no 'god' as perceived by theists, that religion and 'god' are creations of man, are inherently flawed because they are creations of man, where as a creation of man religion is devoid of secular and moral authority.

There is no 'god,' no 'kingdom,' no 'Satan,' and no 'lord' – all are myths and fables, the consequence of man's fear, ignorant, and arrogance.

Yes of course that's it!!!

The same reason the darkness does not comprehend light. Or why a fish doesn't understand water.

Not arrogance. GOD's word

You guys are only proving God's word

But your statement divided the oneness...a spirit is now considered a person?

Telling how most Christians are oblivious to their sins of pride and arrogance.

 

[Iceweasel]

There are many who left the faith that see it more clearly than Christians do. When you boil it all down, you believe what you want to, poking fun at people unwilling to suspend rational thought is just a way to feel justified.

It's true. And you're just as oblivious to your own.

Sin doesn't exist without law and law doesn't exist without God. You are acknowledging the law giver while denying Him with your attempts to discredit Christians.

But yet there is no proof from you that your God is the right God...

Who claimed it did?

If you want to know God, talk with Him. Serve Him. You will know Him before too long.

Why Non-Believer's Can't Comprehend Christianity....

There are PLENTY of us non-Believers who comprehend Christianity quite well.

We're called 'Dis-Believers'.​

That means that we understand the stories and we grok the concept - we just don't buy it.

Satan, who is the god of this world,

So you believe in more than one God!

How convenient!

But wouldn't the spirit of a God dwell in everything he created.
