Hello all!

I will be attending college this fall and I am getting ready to defend and share the faith.  

Why are there aggressive atheists?

I knew an atheist in high school last year.  I had deep discussions with her on many occasions concerning christianity.  I showed her many times how the bible predicted events hundreds of years before it happened (ex. Jesus' birth) and she simply shrugged it off as mythology.  I did not think much of it until everytime I sat down and talked with her, she brought up how chrisianity was not true.

I could not understand why she was always pestering me about it.  If I was an atheist and thought christanity was just mythology, I could really care less what a christian thinks.  If they believed in some "fairy tale," why should I care?  (Does anyone else see the logic in this?)

On the other hand, it seemed as though she made it her goal in life to prove me wrong.  Why would an atheist spend so much time trying to disprove something they believed did not exist?

My view on this subject is deep down, atheists now that christianity is true but they are too proud of themselves and their intellect (by the way, she was extememly intelligent) to accept something that requires a little faith.

In my own opinion, Christianity is obviously the truth of the world because everyone is trying to disprove it.  You never hear of anyone trying to disprove paganism or anything else because it is obviously without substance.

It seems as though the goal of an atheist is not to disprove the existance of a god, but to disprove christianity.

Comments?


P.S.  My atheist aquaintance made the sarcastic remark one day that Christians (no just believers in a god in general) are weak beacuse we made up a god that "loves us."  

She said the truth but did not realize it.  John 3:16
she was so close yet so far.

Hello All!
I have a question that I hope someone can help me with.  I will be attending college this fall and would like to be prepared to witness to anyone.

Why was the OT law of animal sacrifices (and the law in general) instituted in the first place?  

I have read and been taught that Jesus is the ultimate sacrifice that forgives all of our sins and we are justified in faith in him.  Since this is true, then why was an elaborate system of sacrifices established when Jesus was going to come along and make it unnecessary?
 
Specific verses would be very helpful.

Thanks and keep the faith,
Jeremy
