Famous atheists last words....
Voltaire: ‘I am abandoned by God and man…I shall go to hell.’
Thomas Paine: 'I would give worlds, if I had them, that the "Age of
Reason" had never been published. Oh, God, save me; for I am at the
edge of hell alone…’
Thomas Carlyle: I am as good as without hope, a sad old man gazing into the final chasm.’
Gandhi 15 years before his death: ‘I must tell you in all humility
that Hinduism, as I know it…entirely satisfies my soul, fills my whole
being and I find solace in the Bhagavad and the Upanishads.’ Shortly
before his death he wrote: ‘My days are numbered, I am not likely to
live much longer, perhaps a year or more…For the first time in 50 years I
find myself in the slough of despond…All about me is darkness; I am
praying for light.’
Sir Thomas Scott, Chancellor of England:
‘Until this moment, I thought there was neither God nor Hell…Now I know
and feel that there are both, and I am doomed to perdition by the just
judgment of the Almighty…’
Edward Gibbon, author: ‘All is dark and doubtful.’
Mazarin, French cardinal: ‘Oh, my poor soul! What will become of thee? Whither wilt thou go?’
Thomas Hobbes, political philosopher and sceptic: ‘I am about to take a fearful leap into the dark.’
Sir Francis Newport, sceptic: ‘I know I am lost forever! Oh, that fire! Oh, the insufferable pangs of hell!’
All these and more can be seen on a compelling Youtube presentation
called 'Famous atheists' last words before dying.' Contrast the above
with the words of two men who truly knew God.
King David of Israel: ‘Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, Thou art with me.’
Paul the apostle: ‘Oh death, where is thy sting? Oh Hades, where is
your victory?...Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our
Lord Jesus Christ.' 1 Cor 15:55,56
.......above all else LoveEachOther and trust in Jesus!
