Agnostic: A Nearly Honest Atheist

Common Sense Commentary:

Here we have "The world's most famous Atheist" confessing that he is not absolutely sure there is no God.  Though he only gives God a .9 % (less than 1.%) chance of  a reality existence, at least he admits that he really doesn't know .... for certain.  Truth be told, no one can have "faith" in a lie because God gives faith and He does not give faith to believe a lie. "Faith comes by hearing...the word of God." Rom.10:17.  It has been said, "There are no true atheists", which may be true because a person cannot be absolutely certain sure of something they have not personally witnessed. They may "say" they are certain or even give it a 99.1% doubt (.9% chance) when their actual doubt is much greater. How does one witness that "there is no God"?  There are, however, those who are agnostics, which means (a=no + gnostic=know or no know) I don't know.  Actually, everyone, who is not a true believer in Jesus Christ, having  received faith through hearing the gospel truth recorded in the Bible, is an agnostic in some degree. There is always that seed of doubt, that crack in their armour, that secret fear that ... maybe they are wrong.  THAT is God's opening for us to be a witness to them.  They are not sure !

Strangely, Lucifer, himself, is neither atheist (a=no + theist=god or "no god") nor is he an agnostic. He is, "a liar and the father of it" Jn.8:44 ...but he knows Jehovah God is real and has seen and talked with Him. One must know the truth to lie about it. Otherwise a falsehood is ignorance.  Heb.11:1 says, "Faith is... the evidence of things not seen."  Having seen God, Satan's knowledge of Him is not based on faith but sight. Also see Job1:7 & Jm.2:19.  There are many cases of agnosticism in the Bible and not "knowing" is not a sin unless you are also not seeking the truth of God.  I believe God's Spirit whispers to every soul to seek Him.  Jesus said that He is "the true light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world." Jn.1:9.  Even so, each person, as a free will agent, may accept that light or reject that light, but forever after knows, though he may lie to himself and shout it to the world, yet there is that "still small voice" of 1K.19:12, whispering to his soul ... "I AM...I AM" ... Ex.3:14.

For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that
they are without excuse."  Rom.1:20.

So here is a video of the world's most famous atheist saying, I'm not quite sure. "Then King Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian." Acts 26:28.
