defining the Christian atheist

God is not a man that he should change His mind. A churched Christian atheist denies actualized meaning and power of certain Christ's sayings by regulating them to a flash in the pan status of the ineffectual limbo of metaphor. This method to remove the power and presence of the Holy Spirit as promised by Jesus is often expessed in the phrase, it is no longer for today. It may have been true once, but no longer. The present day church is more real in this view than Christ's teachings of long ago and occupies a greater space in their speech. This appears to be complete inability to believe in the spiritual as real whereas the concrete claims more solid familiarity with their logical perspecive. While they may profess to believe that Christ rose from the dead, such as all the other miracles, they cannot stretch that belief far enough to cover what Christ says about us for today. For instance, if you believe, casting a mountain into the sea is a metophor not an actuality. How much more of the Christian story is a methaphor and not an actual event is at the basis of secular atheist thinking as well. The only conclusion one can draw from this is that those with this view not only do not have faith, they do not have faith to even believe Christ actually meant what he said. They then qualify, dilute, distract, or otherwise avoid the meaning of what He said. If someone does not believe in all of Christ's sayings, then one could call that person a Christian, but a Christian atheist instead because he is more than just a secular atheist, he is luke warm who Jesus said he would spew out of his mouth. This unbelief usually as well extends to the healing stripes of Jesus and denies the power to believe anything that Jesus actually said about healing as real. No more perfect scenario than this could be conceived by anyone if they wanted, not able to remove Jesus Christ himself, to then remove the power of the Holy Spirit that Jesus promised us all, than that spirit of oblivion and doubt, the devil. Since belief pleases God, the spirit of doubt attacks belief.
