There Is No Middle Ground: No Third Option

Good Or Evil

Choose: Either God Or Satan

 Let me explain my title, There Is No Middle Ground: No Third Option. The definition of ground is: A foundation for belief, action or argument. My foundation is choice, and there are only two choices, God or Satan. Middle means equally distant from the extremes or in this case, the two choices. In actuality middle ground is, not making a commitment to either choice but seeking a third option. Most people in this life do just that, they are afraid to make a choice one way or another. For example, if three friends are together and two of them get into an argument concerning their ideas or opinions, and they turn to their other friend and ask him or her, who ideas and opinions were right, 9 times out of 10 that third friend because he or she likes the both of them will not choose either one's ideas or opinions but will seek another option. He or she might feel that one is right, but won't say it, because the other one might be hurt.

Middle ground is popular in today's society, and the belief is, there is always another option and in some cases it is. But in this case, the choice to be made between God or Satan, there is no middle ground, there is no third option. Jesus said in Luke 11:23 and it reads, " He who is not with Me is against Me." No one, concerning this choice can be neutral. There is no neutrality when it comes to these two choices, it is God's Kingdom against the kingdom ot the devil (Satan). Unbelievers are so into their wicked and sinful ways that they enjoy living the lives they are living. The enemy has so blinded them, that they can't see the Salvation God has offered them. But, some can be saved, because some of them know they are evil, and they are inwardly crying for help. Because they know they are in a hopeless situation, they can be saved by reaching out to Christ, by doing this, they are letting Christ know that they are sorry, and they need Christ's help. That is why we Christians must continue to spread the Word of God, by doing this, some of us Christians plant the Seed of Salvation, and some of us Christians water the Seed of Salvation, and in due time God will give it the increase, and they will come to be saved.

Now, as for the atheists, all we Christians should do, is, present the Word of God, we should not answer them word for word, because most of them are not going to believe anyways. Now there is a chance that some will come to Christ, so we Christians should tell atheists about the Word of God. But, we should never argue with them, or go word for word with atheists, for the simple reason they try to discredit the Word of God to fortify their position of non-belief in God. Atheists choose not to believe in God, trust me, they know Who God is, and they know God exist. I have read comments written on these hub pages by atheists, and their comments show that they have a knowledge of God. Check this out, some of these atheists came right out of our churches. Some of the excuses they had for leaving the church was, the christian faith did nothing for them, and it is so much contradiction in the christian faith. So much contradiction, now that is really amusing, society is one big contradiction after another. With all their excuses, the Bible says different, 1 John 2:19 reads, " They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest (clear) that they were not of us." They (the ones who left the church) were like tares in the parable Jesus told in Matthew 13:30. Tares were people in the church that really did not believe in God, but God let them remain with the believers in the church, but eventually the Word of God uprooted them, and they left. Atheists are full of pride, they feel that they have all the knowledge and wisdom, read their comments, they talk down on everyone that believe differently from them. Atheists say they don't believe there is a God, but in their heart they know there is a God, they just choose not to believe there is a God (and there is one reason they choose to not believe in God) and that one reason further influences them (atheists) to deny the existence of God. I am going to tell who that one reason is.

In this section here I am going to say why atheists deny the existence of God. But first, I want to discuss some other matters. To all unbelievers and atheists they have to make a choice right now. Joshua said in Joshua 24:15 and it reads, " Choose you today who you are going to serve." If you don't choose God, and you die in the next hour, you will wake up in hell. This is not a threat, this is the Gospel Truth. All I have to say is choose God, I really don't need to say Choose God or Satan, because if you have not chosen God up to this point, you have been serving Satan all along. Now here is the one reason, and here is why atheists deny the existence of God, they serve Satan. They unknowingly serve Satan, the things they say against God, Jesus Christ, the Bible, Christians, and Christianity, they are only doing what their father and god (Satan the devil) want them to do. Unbelievers and atheists if they never accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, they are sealed for eternal damnation. Now, do I enjoy telling people about damnation, hell, and the lake of fire? No, Do I think it is necessary? Yes, to some it is necessary. Just before I got saved, I was feeling so sorry and bad about my sinful life, I realized I needed help. I cried out to Jesus Christ for help, and He heard my cry, Jesus told me to read the Book of Revelations for six months. I read Revelations every day for six months, when I finished reading it, I read it over again until the six months was up. Soon after the six months, God drew me to Christ and I accepted Christ as my Lord and Savior. In the beginning the reason I accepted Christ was, I did not want to go to hell. But, God knew my heart, because to day I remain faithful to Christ not because I don't want to go to hell, but, because I love Him so much. Jesus Christ is my Present Help, He is the Love of my life, He is my Bridge over troubled waters, He is my Joy in the midst of sorrow, He is the Strength of my life, and He is my Peace. Most of all I want to please Christ, I want my life to bring Glory to God's Name, and when my life is over and I get to the other side where Christ is, I want to hear Christ say to me, " Well done My good and faithful servant." So I am saying to unbelievers and atheists, choose God, He is such a Loving God, and He is holding out His Arms to recieve you. God Bless You! I love you in the Lord.

I enjoyed hearing your testimony. And you are correct that we delude ourselves by thinking we can sit on the fence between the two worlds when there is no such place called the middle in the spirit realm.

You are also correct about arguing with an atheist. They have chosen to believe that God does not exist not because of the great evidence they have to support their belief but because they don't like the idea of a God period and basically boils down to the worship of self.

I do think it important however to continue to preach the Gospel as you do because it is the Holy Spirit who works in the heart of man to convince them of the truth and because it isn't His desire that anyone would perish but that all would come to repentance.

Sister Tamarajo, thank you for your comment. I always enjoy hearing from you, because you are truly a child of God. You are right people like to straddle the fence, not knowing that because they have not made a choice, in God's Eyes they have made a choice. I knew somebody believe as I do about the atheists denying the existence of God. I am going to continue writing as I do, I believe the Lord uses all us christians in different ways, He uses you so beautifully, that is how I know you are truly anointed. I pray that God continues to anoint you and your writings. Sister Tamarajo, we, and all true christians, like our Savior Jesus Christ, we are in the soul-saving business. The Apostle Paul said God commissioned him to preach the Gospel, Paul said, " Woe is me if I don't preach the Gospel." Sister Tamarajo, God has commissioned us under His Inspiration to write, and woe are us if we don't write telling people about Christ. God Bless You! I love you in the Lord.

Beautiful and truthful hub VOICE. There is no middle ground. Loving God is not difficult. It is wonderful with so many blessings attached. Freedom from the weight of sin opens us up to serve God and others without the fear of death and hell looming over us. He doesn't "promise us a rose garden" here on earth, but roses have thorns anyway and aren't all they are cracked up to be. He does promise us the Crown of Life in heaven when we follow Him though and He always keeps His promises. Blessings!

BJBenson, thank you for your comment, and yes I do notice that sinners are not happy. Sometimes they feel they are happy until they see the Joy that we christians have. God Bless You! I love you in the Lord.

Sister Kristeen, it is always a pleasure to hear from you. Thank you for your comment. Loving God is not difficult. Jesus said take His yoke upon us and learn of Him, for His yoke is easy and His burden if light. Is it not beautiful that we can serve God without the fear of death and hell looming over us? Like Jesus said death where is thy sting, grave where is thy victory? You are absolutely right, Sister Kristeen, we can feel as confident as Paul, and say with him, there is a Crown of Life waiting on us in heaven. How is your book coming along? God Bless You! I love you in the Lord.

My book is all put together and uploaded to Blurb. I have not made it public yet though because I need to order my own copy and make sure there are no errors and it looks like I want it to look. I'll let you know when its available. I'm afraid it will be expensive though. The cost for me to order it is $42.00 or $27 for the paperback version.

Let me make it so plain that a fool cannot error, although in your case I don't think that is possible. First of all if you don't choose you still belong to the devil. You say live for yourself, how can you? You are a walking dead man, there is no life outside of Christ. A fool say in his heart there is no God, and you are definitely a fool.

wow! has the Lord spoken to me today!! praise be to his name for using such wonderful articulate people like you :) although I wasn't deliberately looking for this website, I am so glad my computer browser was able to take me here jeje I've been searching for answers, guidence, and advice in regard to atheists reasoning and comments. I have a friend who is a non-believer and I've been trying to come up with some good argument that can convince him about Gods existence, but now i understand why is it that he never gives in. He knows God exists but since so many tragedies have striked his early life, he is filled with resentment and pain. However, sometimes I feel like he wants me to convince him, but i just lack the skill necessary to do so; I say this because my friend has a tremendous amount of knowledge! he is barely 17 and analyzes problems as if he was a 40 year old professional lawyer. He is scary good, higly educated by who knows what sources. Still I know, I have faith in God, that he will give me or who ever he decides to use, the ability and eloquence necessary to convince my friend. I love the Lord and I know he has a perfect plan for everyone who decides to follow him here on earth and until he comes to take us with him :) God bless you all!!!!

Adriana, like you said most atheists are intelligent people, sometimes because they are intelligent it gets in the way of their believing in certain things. Atheists have to know why something is true, or like you said about your friend he went through some rough times, and he may be trying to find out why certain things happened. They don't realize that certain things that happens in their life they may not find the answer. They must trust God. It is hard for a atheist to trust God, because to trust God, you have to give up your way of thinking, and give God control of your life. That is exremely hard for an ahteist. But Adriana, you can make him see and trust God, by the way you live for God. Just pray for him and tell him from time to time how God has been good to you, if he changes it will be through your love for God. Ask God to use you, to draw your friend to God. Stay blessed.
