Christians, Do you think that this is why Atheist and the rest of the world does not understand us?

John 14:17 states: "Even the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot recieve, because it seeth Him not, nor neither knoweth Him, but ye know Him, for He dwellth with you and shall be in you."

    Yup. And ... 1 Corinthians 1:18 "For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God."

    Philippians 4:7 "And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."

    Psalms 10:4 "The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God. God is not in all his thoughts."

    1 Corinthians 2:14 "But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness unto him; neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned."

    Remember to pick your battles. Titus 3:9 "But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings abut the law; for they are unprofitabe and vain."

    And in Matthew 7:6 "Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you."

    We can't save those who do not want to be saved. Only go after those who would listen. If we help save 1 in a thousand, it makes the journey worth while. Sometimes you gotta shuck a lot of oysters to find a pearl.

    Yes. The word "cannot" uses an absolutely negative adverb, which is to say they don't have the ability to see him or know him. God didn't give it to them to know.

    The Spirit of Truth is the sword of the word.

    Ephesians 6:17

    Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

    Hebrews 4:12

    For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
