If you've heard that Jesus Christ died for the world and that He's given you the gift of eternal life if you will only surrender to Him....then why would someone not want it?.....seriously He's given us the greatest gift ever.....He died for all our sins.....and Loves us!!!!......if ppl only knew the truth.....What do you think?

Okay one of you said that you dont hate youselves enough to call yourself sinners......so does that mean you are perfect? Do you do everything right and Just? have you ever broken the law or had a bad thought or anything? if you broken one of the commandments you've broken them all......how can you be perfect?

We need a Saviour and thats where Jesus came in.

It's faith-based and many people have lost faith...or never had it to begin with. There were times that I thought I might loose faith but I feel such a sense of clarity when I pray for my family and friends I know it can't be wrong.

Let's see. Jesus lived forever into the past in God's presence. He spent 33 years as a human being, of which most were normal (without persecution or undue pain). Even when he knew he was going to die, he knew he would be going to heaven to return to the right hand of God, for the rest of eternity. In other words, by his own statement, he knew he would live forever and have spiritual salvation. He's the only human being who died with such a guaranty. And he wasn't even a true man. He could walk on water, change water to wine, even raise the dead. And unlike every other human being to ever live, he was never under threat of going to hell. He's never had the burden that God has given man.
So the only thing he did was shed his mortal bonds that he wore for the briefest amount of time away from the most elevated position of existence. It's as if Bill Gates spent twenty minutes acting (not being) like a pauper then returning to his bank account and claiming salvation for the poor soley because of that experience. Would you take Bill seriously if he did that?

I don't care simply coz Intelegent GOD can't be that cruel and wipe out the whole planet. Cristianity should plagiat or base thier NT on something better than OT.
Second Jesus died for Our sins but he did not lift the punihsment. Cool way of taken something back.
Jesus Loves us soo much that for almost 2000 years Cristanity were killing ppl, spanish inquistions and so on. So it would be logical not to belive in something Cristianity invented in the first place. PLus thier trinity comes from hindu religion of 3 GODs who represent same as the trinity now.
AMazing how some1 can still from others then claim it it was theirs.
Therefore GOD exists.

I should ask the same to you.
Our Lady of Mysteries has wrought all that you see before you for you to enjoy.
She gave you a mind to consider and determine what is the true morality (secular ethics), yet to rely on faith to hold onto a set of morals you accept by emotion.
Why do you reject her gifts so?
... Or perhaps the problem is that you simply don't believe in Tsunami? Just like I don't believe in what is said of Jesus?
Think about that.

EDIT Comment: I am a spiritual atheist.
Honey, answer me this. Which one would you rather I be?
A) An honest and moral atheist who is honest with you, yours and the world around us......or
B) A law-abiding but lying christian who is lying to myself about being a christian, lying to the world about being a christian....and worse, lying to Jesus about being a christian too.
I cannot be a christian and see Jesus as a savior, lord or deity and be honest with myself concurrently. I appreciate some of Jesus' teachings, believe it or not. :-) Since I cannot force myself to believe, honey, then that includes seeing Jesus as a savior.
Isn't religion about love and acceptance, not force?
I see Jesus as a teacher, one of many from various world religions. :-) I respect that you believe in him. That's good. I ask for the same respect from you. Jesus said "Do Unto Others As How You Want To Be Done Unto". Where is the respect?

Some people say the Jesus isn't realistic and yet they desparately go around looking for some supernatural force to control. They say that the Universe just appeared yet they still desparately think of ridiculous theories about it.
Satan forces people to reject God. But Satan can't do it alone. They have to want to reject God and wander into the darkeness.
God is the Ultimate being. The Father of creation. He loves us all. Yet we reject Him.
("Some of us don't hate ourselves enough to say we are sinners."
It isn't self hate it is just being realistic.)

Before you start your preaching career, you should start studying the history of what is today called the Bible. The history of the New Testament is particularly interesting...you can start by googling the Council of Nicea or Nicene.
The old testament is as much fiction as the Greek Myth and no where near as interesting!

Thank you for your concern. As for me i first went to my immediate family and friends with the message. After that i went on the road to other nearby places; Finally i went in the mission field and ultimately i want to go into those places that have never seen a missionary or heard the gospel. God bless you!!!

I understand how for you it is hard to believe but you have to give people their own space to find their own path to God. I love Jesus and appreciate how he lived his life but I don't believe I need him to get closer to God. I know the truth that works for me as you know the one that works for you. I don't believe Jesus wants me to surrender anything to him. I don't believe in sin. Jesus did not die for me. Have you ever even read about other religions or other paths to God? How do you know your is the right one for everyone? God made everyone so unique that each has their own path home. Good luck on yours. Allow people to believe and live as they choose just as you would like for yourself. Spread love and light up the world.
Love & Light

Most of us do care. We just have different beliefs. There is only one God and some of us do not think it has anything to do with the Christian point of view.
Please be open-minded and allow people to practice their own belief systems.
Being NON-Christian, and and EX-Christian, I have learned that I just do not agree with most of that particular religion's teachings.
But loving and forgiving and allowing others to worship the one God in their own fashion is the right thing to do.
God made us all different so we must be able to worship in many different ways. Protect nature! Humankind will destroy itself but Nature will survive.
