Well...what does that have to do with anything. I don't read how atheists can not express believe in God yet be in heaven either

Thank you for the clarification.

You are just making stuff up Tom, you sound like a little kid that has been caught doing something they know they weren't supposed to do trying to talk their way out of it by telling absurdity after absurdity.

You have absolutely destroyed the line between reality and fantasy in your mind.

What? I have no idea what you are trying to say. Your last sentence doesn't make any sense to me.
Campbell mentioned a prophecy about the United States in the Bible and I asked him where the United States is mentioned in the Bible. He explained what he was talking about and I thanked him.

I'm saying that if your position is universally true (not reading about the US in the bible) then either your argument isn't correct or if it is...then there will be no atheists in heaven.

Why .......? Because "where is it mentioned in the Bible that an athesist can remain a athesist and still be in heaven?"

But my "argument" wasn't an argument - it was a question. I didn't say - the United States is NOT mentioned in the Bible. I said I didn't know that it was and I wanted to know where it was. I am no Bible expert and have never claimed to be one. I still don't understand what you are trying to say.

Very simple...there is no reference to US in the Bible. Your question will go unanswered at best. For a response to be otherwise, takes for a lot of wishfull reading.

So it will be with the athesist. There are no athesists in heaven..it is an impossibility.

So... you are saying that the United States is not mentioned in the Bible?

Why are you talking about atheists in heaven? Did someone bring that up?

It's always an "us" and "them" mentality from the predominant or prevailing tendency of his own Spirit, which lacks understanding.

Asheville Native, I try always to let the Bible do my talking. For in it's pages you will find my beliefs. And they are beliefs that are shared by so many others. I don't have to talk my way out of anything. I just leave all that up to God's Words of truth. And God's Word, is not an absurdity. It's a reality.
