"The Self-Proclaimed Atheist."

Reference: Proverbs Chapter 26

The self-proclaimed atheist is the man or woman who is not aware of God's blood covenant. He is not aware of what blood is, or where blood comes from. He's not aware that blood is the man, Adam, who began as God's blood covenant. Hence his name Adam, which simply means God Blood Covenant.

The self-proclaimed atheist is not aware that he is a light in the seed of the fallen God's blood covenant.
Atheism is simply a symptom of unbelief. This condition is cured by simply believing.

Man fell in the first Adam, the first God's blood covenant. Man is restored when they enter into the last Adam, their last God's blood covenant. This is what the self-proclaimed atheists must believe to be cured.


Let's read:

Proverbs 26:1-5 "As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool. [2] As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come. [3] A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool's back. [4] Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him. [5] Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit."

There is no need to argue with a self-proclaimed atheist. Just point them to God's blood covenant. The problem is with their faith and not their logic. The problem is with their faith and not their five physical senses. The problem is with their sixth sense.

We continue our reading:

Proverbs 26:6-12 "He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage. [7] The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools. [8] As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth honour to a fool. [9] As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of fools. [10] The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors. [11] As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly. [12] Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him."

For there to be a tree, there first has to be soil for the tree to stand on. For there to be a fish with gills, there first has to be water for the fish to swim in.
For there to be a body, there first has to be blood. For there to be a creation, there first has to be the Creator.

They have ears but cannot hear and have eyes but cannot see. That self-proclaimed atheist is trying to hear and see with their physical senses instead of their sixth sense, the sense of faith.

They have faith. They just refuse to use it to hear and see that God is in every life, from the least organism to the greatest.


We continue our reading:

Proverbs 26:13-25 "The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets. [14] As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed. [15] The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth. [16] The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason. [17] He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears. [18] As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death, [19] So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport? [20] Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth. [21] As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife. [22] The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly. [23] Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross. [24] He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him; [25] When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart."

Believe not the words of the wicked. They were the same words of the wicked that came to Eve in the garden. He's the same serpent today. He works through men and women who self-proclaim as atheists.

We conclude our reading:

Proverbs 26:26-28 "Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation. [27] Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him. [28] A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin."

Eve was not aware that Satan hated her. The serpent was her enemy and came to destroy her, so is the self-proclaimed atheist, a destroyer of the faith of his audience.

Turn on your light of faith. BELIEVE and confess Christ, the last God's blood covenant, as we've revealed Him from the first Adam, the first God's blood covenant. He is the God that keeps His covenant, in Christ!
