The Lack Of Redeemed Atheists

Sunday, October 10, 2021

Charles Bradlaugh was a famous atheist in England. Hugh Price Hughes was a minister who served in the slums of London. Bradlaugh challenged Hughes to a debate on the validity of Christianity. Hughes suggested that each bring evidences of their beliefs in the form of men and women who have been redeemed from sin and shame by the influence of their teaching. I will bring 100 such men and women, and I challenge you to do the same. If you cannot bring 100, bring 50. If you cannot bring 50, then bring 20 people who will say, as my 100 will, that they have a great joy in a life of self-respect as a result of your atheistic teachings. If you cannot bring 20, bring ten. No, I challenge you to bring just one man or woman who will make such a testimony regarding your atheistic teachings! With great embarrassment, Bradlaugh withdrew his challenge. You don't have to get into a long, involved argument; the testimony of God is your life. You don't have to argue Messiah. Show them Messiah. Show them a changed life and they'll see.
