I think that many will never stop and the only time they are going to believe is when they bow the knee to Jesus in judgment before being cast into the lake of fire. :o(
That's why we've got to keep praying for the Holy Spirit to remove the veil of darkness and deliver people we know into the kingdom of light, in Jesus' name, Amen!

Well, I want to have dinner with David, Solomon, Jesus, Buddha, Confucius, Muhammad, Moses, King Akhenaten (aka King Amenhotep III or was it II), Leif Erickson (or however you spell it), and my Dad. Also, the first King of Egypt, Mesopotamia, Persia, and China. I want to ask them what the truth is cause surely they know, and then I will answer your question Right now (and I may be wrong) I believe religion is crowd control. I am a good person, I am sensitive to people's feelings, I try to do the right thing, whatever that may be. I do not care if you think I am going to HELL because I have not chosen a religion, and what do you care if I go to HELL anyway? I am tolerant of all people's religions as long as they do not cause harm to others, and I respect people for sticking to their beliefs as I respect you. But....
I think you are thinking that you are better than others because of your religion. Have you ever thought that maybe GOD made a certain religion for every group so that they will accept him, or that maybe the Bible has been mistranslated throughout the years? Also, how do you know that the Bible is not exaggerated, you were not there when it was written, and if things in the part of 1st and 2nd Kings are exaggerated, then certainly other parts can be. The story of Noah was not original in the Bible, the same scenario happened in Egypt. All I am saying is that I think an open mind should be used and I don't think that all these people are going to Hell. How do you know that your religion is the true religion? The Pentecostals say theirs is, so do the Catholics, and the Jews, and the Muslims. I do respect you, and yes, sometimes I do wonder what is out there, something has to be, but if there is some creator, who created him? I am sorry to type this, I just have so many questions and have no answers, so I guess I am in the same boat as you, maybe we do have something in common after all.

the end is always near. our end anyway. death is only a new beginning.
how do you know that the other religions are false? in essence, doesn't everyone put their faith in something? who are we to say that the others are wrong? humans are fallible, we never really see the whole picture, so how can you honestly say that God is the one and only? you can't, and you won't be able to until you get to heaven and St. Peter ushers you through the pearly gates.
and, what exactly are the people who are trying to prove the Bible wrong, but are doing the complete opposite, exactly trying to prove? i'm a little confused on your point there.

Question 1. The world is coming to the same thing it has always come to when great civilizations fall - utter chaos. We just happen to be living in this one.
Question 2. Never. The Bible makes that pretty clear.
Question 3. Never again. Satan will always until the bitter end be trying to falsify Christ.
My opinion: You've got what it takes to be a witness and stay faithful - just don't get discouraged!

I have many times asked myself this question. I believe that the world will not accept Christ until they are told. Try, I know it's hard, not to focus on the state of unbelievers. It will just make you sad and dicouraged. Focus on making it your goal to tell others about God and Christ and what God has done for YOU and THEM! Give out gospel tracts and tell others (everywhere you go) about Christ! Live a godly life and people (exspecialy today) will notice how you stick out! Don't try to fit in with this world. The more people notice you are different, the more they'll ask you "Why are you so different?" The more they ask you why you're you, the more chances you'll have to witness to them. The more witnessing chances, the more souls you will see believe in Christ. It is impossible for someone to get saved if they don't hear about Christ.
I hope this helps! I REALLY DO!

Dear Emily W., we all have a choice in this world and I'm afraid many make the wrong choice insulting Christians and putting them down while believing in false religions and cults. I believe in God and the only way is through His Son Jesus Christ. Hopefully they will give their lives to God almighty.

How do you know? Is that how you were raised, or did you find this out on your own? You Christians can truly be an arrogant bunch sometimes. There are lots of different religions in this world and saying that one is better (or more right) than another is like saying orange is more true than purple. They are all man-made. Get over it.

You're joking, right? All gods are imaginary. Isn't that obvious? Forget about religion, and put your efforts into making the real world a better place. This is the only life you'll ever have, so make the most of it.

I think you should read some of the books that were written "before" the bible. I also think you should read some of the material that was recently found concerning those that lived in the days of jesus. You are entitled to your opinion; but I think you should have all the facts and put your ego aside.

For most: not until they see Him come the second time with there own eyes, but of course by that time it will be WAY,WAY to late. Revelation is happening, Satan is working harder every day, God is pulling His Spirit back. The end IS near. Get ready, cause here it comes.
