On
the other hand, it must be admitted that the Scripture teaches that God would
send a strong delusion upon those who receive not the love of the truth, so that
they should believe the lie (2 Thess. 2:10-12).
It might be argued that the men in that context are the ones who will in the
future tribulation believe that the man of sin is God and will worship him as
God; but if men can be deceived to that extent there is no reason to doubt that
men may also be deceived into really believing that there is no God. We would
agree with Hodge that the atheistic position is an unnatural one, and that men
have to force themselves to adopt this position, and further that it has been a
temporary position with many. But doubtless many have come to the end of life
clinging tenaciously to their unbelief. It is certain that there will be no
atheists at the Great White Throne when all of the unsaved dead stand before
God to give account.
