Does anyone know if Flew ever came to faith in Christ?

In the face of eternity, man’s logic, man’s attempt to reason away the miracles of the universe ... simply fall apart.

Does anyone know if Flew ever came to faith in Christ? Exactly what I was wondering. "Believing in God" is meaningless by itself. Hell's full of demons and fallen angels who most certainly believe in God.

Flew always described himself as a "negative atheist", asserting that "theological propositions can neither be verified nor falsified by experience", a position he expounded in his classic paper Theology and Falsification (1950), reputedly the most frequently-quoted philosophical publication of the second half of the 20th century.
Nietzsche already covered that in detail.
"negative atheist"---a God fearing agnostic.

Does anyone know if Flew ever came to faith in Christ?From the article: But believers waiting to welcome this most prodigal of sons back into the fold were to be disappointed. Flew's conversion did not embrace such concepts as Heaven, good and evil or the afterlife let alone divine intervention in human affairs. His God was strictly minimalist very different from "the monstrous oriental despots of the religions of Christianity and Islam", as he liked to call them. God may have called his creation into existence, then, but why did he bother? To that question, it seemed, Flew had no answer.

Many of us that may not believe in God know that we will say a prayer just before we die. Don’t knock us Athiests and Agnostics for being living and thinking beings. Basically, we just don’t care...yet. God appreciates this skepticism.

"Basically, we just dont care...yet. God appreciates this skepticism." So you're not sure whether or not He exists, but you still understand his thought processes?

Does anyone know if Flew ever came to faith in Christ? God knows.... and it's all up to Him.

Sort of, yeah, but currently I just don’t care.
Perhaps you’d be surprised that so many of us are out here.

So what else does God appreciate? Do you get these answers in visions? Most of the weakest-minded religious that have visions tell us that He’s saddened by peoples’ skepticism and behavior.
To: lefty-lie-spy
Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important.
