No offense.. but this reminds me of the reason that people thinks that we are pushy freaks...

Answer 2

Trying to work out punctuation with the OP:

"People, you have to pray to God and ask him to forgive your sins to go to heaven when you die. Confused? Reply me.

"Please - if you are not a christian, become one today. Everybody desires to go to heaven 'cause God made us all, pleas pls pls pls become a christian before you die. I became one when I was like four."

This is an earnest plea and not a demand, so there is no need for anyone to be offended for sharing what's on their heart.

To the ones that say that Christians shouldn't try to convert people, or that christians should keep their religious beliefs to themselves - please understand that everyone believes in something, and that everyone inevitably is convicted about some things that they believe to be true and that everyone else should agree on. Everyone stands for something, or they fall for anything.

The only question that should be asked here is if the original statement is true. If it is, then take note, if you're not sure look into Jesus, call out and pray and ask God if he is real - if he is and you're wanting to know he will show himself to you. If it isn't true that worst that can happen is that a person will have lived a good life.

But God is real - because you relate to a person in God and not a religion (christianity is not a religion by the way - religions have rules about getting yourself to heaven, christians believe you can't possibly earn or deserve it - only giving your life to Jesus and giving up your old life leads to Jesus saving you to heaven). And God does speak to me through the Bible, in situations, through other people, through supernatural means; he is real, and real close.

You don't want a religion, you want a relationship with a loving God who will save you when you let him and do so willingly. If you don't, he'll also let you have your way, but the reality is there has to be an accounting for our sins, any sin. We were all doomed from the start, but Jesus is the lifeline, not the whip. Make the choice today!

Answer 3

I reject your assumptions. Why do you think everyone wants to go to heaven?

If God only allows Christians into heaven, then he must send good people who are not Christians to hell.

Only someone truly evil would do something like that. Why would I ever want to worship, honor or obey someone who uses the same criteria for sending people to Hell that Hitler used to send people to Auchwitz? No -- I refuse to worship someone who would do something so evil. Why would I want to be with such a god in Heaven?

Of course, there is the possibility that there is a God who is not evil and will let all good men into Heaven. In that case, I need not become a Christian -- because it isn't necessary to get into heaven.

Now -- here is a thought -- perhaps God really uses a completely different criteria to see if people are worthy of Heaven. Perhaps he will only let in people who challenge their beliefs and search for truth. After all -- the story of Adam and Eve can be interpretted differently. God gave Eve the choice between being comfortable and naive or being filled with knowledge. She correctly chose knowledge, and as a reward was granted life in this wonderful world as a reward.

What are you going to do on judgement day when God points to you and asks "Why did you believe blindly when you could have searched for truth"?

I know what I will do. I will look at him and explain that when faced with a choice between happiness and knowledge, I choose knowledge. And I do it every day.

Answer 4

Personally I think this is such a horrible thing to post on yahoo answers.

You disgrace Christians and prove the worlds point that Christians shove their "religion" down people's throats.
If you want to tell people about Jesus, then go on the streets and hand out tracts...or run a childrens VBS. Work at Soup Kitchens and show the homeless God's love. You can't ASK and BEG people to become Christians!!!
Don't come to Yahoo Answers!!!!

Answer 5

Your plea to others is very heartfelt and caring. You seem to have a deep concern for the others around you. Always remember that all you can do is tell others about Christ and offer Him to them. It is up to them to decide, you cannot beg, force or guilt them into it. It's definitely our responsibility as christians to witness to people about our faith and to live it everyday as an example to others, but it is not our responsibility to make that choice for them. That is a God given right! Isn't it amazing how much He loves us, He gave us the right to deny Him. Plant the seeds of His love and there will be growth. Maybe not on your terms, but on God's terms.

As for all those people that are complaining about all of us preachers out here shoving our faith down your throats, why are you even reading these questions in the first place? Besides, freedom of religion is a man-made thing.

Answer 6

Keep in mind that G-d isn't ones parent G-d know the sincerity of you repentance. Doing something then asking for forgiveness only to be safe from hell is arrogant and in to days Religious culture very ignorant. Catholics are good at this.

And as for the guys who said you give Christians a bad name. I think you do to because you better learn Jesus your saviors teachings and what paul did. he begged he taught any time you talk aobut your religion you are shoving it down some ones throat. This si why religion doesn't work FAITH does

Answer 7

Caley-
Don't be discouraged by what other people have said. For those of you who complained about this person trying to push his/her beliefs on you, please remember that this is a religion and spirituality forum. People can post whatever question they want. No one is forcing you to read their questions. Second, to the Christians who think that this is not appropriate, what have you done today? At least this person is making some sort of effort. That effort is valid, even if you don't think that it is appropriate. How many times have "unappropriate" methods had the best results?

Answer 8

David is right about your name being in the Book of Life, but he did tell you how to get your name there. You must believe that Jesus died on the cross to pay the penalty for your sins and that He rose again and is now living with the Father in Heaven. When you truly believe this your name is written in the Book of Life.

Answer 9

Heaven is not made of religions. People made religions.

When your body dies, your soul goes to heaven.
When you get to heaven, there is a book called The Book of Life.
If your name is in the book, your soul is allowed to enter heaven.
If your name is NOT in the book, your soul is thrown in the lake of fire where your soul dies.

The Book of Life does not ask what religion you were, nor does it ask how much money you gave to your church before you died.
Again, people establish these rules. Not Jesus or God.

Religion divideds people. That is why there is so much war in the world today.

Answer 10

I am confused.

No, I'm not confused about what you want to say, I'm a christian too.

But, if you're trying to reach out to people with God's message, please do it appropriately. People will see this and become just a little bit more unhappy with Christianity. Spelling, punctuation, and grammar may not be important compared to God's grace, but no one will find that grace if they judge the medium of presentation lacking.
