‘Agnostic’ comes from the Greek and means ‘not knowing’. An agnostic is somebody who claims not to know what to believe about life after death, God, eternity and meaning. This may suggest an openness to the Gospel, but the Bible is clear that those who do not positively believe in Jesus stand condemned (John 3:18). Some more determined agnostics go further and claim that it is not possible to know what to believe about these big issues. Atheists go even further to say that the only kind of knowledge that exists is what can be perceived and measured by anyone through everyday sensory experience.
