No. You are free to believe in what you want to believe in.

Convert you to what? To my believe system? My believe system doesn't require you to believe.


What does Jim Darwin believe anyway?


Is there a God? I can't explain what happened before the Big Bang, but if I say its God, what happens when there is a scientific explanation, will that end the God believe for me?

Between that and my birth - that being the first event of "existence" to which I can't attribute a scientific cause, but don't call it God because again, if there was a scientific cause, my religion would cease, why follow such a false religion - birth to my mother which is clear to me, no lie here.

I was born. I was raised and indoctrinated with Roman Catholicism. Did you know they have a false doctrine of infant baptism. St. Augustine introduced it in the 4th century CE. This doctrine is false based on Biblican teachings.

Did you know that the New testement has undergone changes from the original writing. People who copied it changed it and changed it and changed it. Why would I believe in such a thing as that which could have been changed?

Where is this God? Where is he or she or it? I would like to see the face of God. Oh yes, very much. Do you think thats why I spend 2 hours a day in yahoo answers, wondering if anyone else has.

What could you possibly convert to. How could you have my beliefs? How could you have ever expirienced a day in my shoes. How could you have read all the books I did, or been to the churches I have, or prayed the prayers I prayed, or attended the classes I did.

My reality is based on the perception of my expirience. The sum of my expirience. How could you have had the same perceptions of the same expiriences.

Were you there when I read of the false doctrine of baptism? Were you there when it was told to me I can't be a Christian if I believe in evolution?

Were you there when I was in college walking about and felt something, which I used to think was God, but now don't know, and what if it was the chemicals in my brain mixing in eurphia and causing an endorphin in response to the happy stimuli of sun reflecting.

The sun has a scientific cause doesn't it. Why should I think that God, thats the sun.

What if you believe in God and call him Jesus. What motive brought you to that? Did someone tell you about Jesus. Did you ever see the face of Jesus, like Thomas and Paul did in the Bible? Moses apparently saw God. Somehow thou there are verses in the Bible that say no man has seen the face of God. Do you think they meant all men except the THomas and Paul and Moses? Why can't jim Darwin see the face of God?

If you have then good. If you haven't, why do you believe. Why would I want to convert you to what I believe, you have to believe what you believe, we can't believe the same thing, we haven't lived the same life.

Get your own believes.

I can't "convert you." Only God by the power of the Holy Spirit can "convert you" by changing you from a sinner to a child of God, a new creation when you accept Jesus' ultimate sacrifice in payment for your sin. (and yes, you have sinned--and so have I and every single person, past and present except Jesus Himself)

No, I don't get anything out of it, I just want Everyone to know what i know!!!

If you had the cure to a deadly disease that was affecting the entire world, would you keep it to yourself?

I hope you are aware that I cannot convert anyone...I think it's a spiritual shift and a choice that each person makes after weighing evidences, and to me, what I found important, was how the "people" of that particular sect treated each other...and most important is how (they) we treat persons of a different belief...eg.there are certain groups that think that if you do not convert to their ways, they will "put you behind the Sun" !
So,many happy searches, and good luck.

Yes, I am only 3 conversions away from the set of steak knives. Once I convert you and you begin converting others, your conversions count towards me and then I will get the trip ti Fiji much quicker.

It would do neither one of us any good for me to try to convert you,the only thing I can do is tell you what my GOD/ my savior -has done and is doing for me. Then if YOU are interested,try to help you to find the way for yourself;only you can convert you.Whats in it for me?At the least, making a friend-the most saving a soul that I will meet again in heaven.

if you are not a Christian yes, I would like to convert you..what's in it for me is that i'm fulfilling a command from Christ to tell everyone about him so that they will be saved from eternal damnation..it also gives me a feeling of happiness that I have been used by God to do so..God loves you and wants you to return that love by giving your life to Him.. He sent is son Jesus Christ to suffer and die for us. To give your life to Him you must:
1. Confess your sins and admit that you are a sinner. See Romans 3:10
2. Be willing and ready to repent from your sins. See Acts 17:30
3. Believe that Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose from the dead. See Rom 10:9-10
4. Pray and invite Jesus to come into your life and become your personal savior. See Rom 10:13
5. Read and study the Holy bible and fellowship with other Christians.

Convert you???? First, tell us what you would like to be converted into. This is kind of an odd question. Do you typically ask starngers if they want to convert you. What do they usually say?

Someone could talk to you all day but, until you get tired of living the life you are living and want to be converted there is nothing in it for you nor them. You got to want to change for yourself.

There's no such thing as conversion. You choose to follow a religion, no one "converts" you. Unless, of course, someone sticks a gun to your head, but then, in Islam, if you take religion under that situation, it doesn't count anyway, 'cause your heart's not in it. I get nothing from you becoming Muslim. You might get something - but, then again, if you don't truly want to be a Muslim, you won't get anything.
