What would jesus do indeed. If christains do as jesus did then it appears that the bible is a load of rubbish as jesus didn't heal the sick or feed thousands of people it appears that jesus would instead walk up and down the street with a big sign saying "god hates fags" That's why I say no to jesus. So should you.

Christians and non-Christians sometimes get all gluey about the fact that people can lead depraved, lawless lives and yet be saved at the end of the road, thereby having gotten to do what they wanted to do for however long and then repent it all away. This isn’t the deal, though. The deal is that the repentance must be genuine, and you must believe that he to whom you are repenting is the savior of the world. This belief is not something you can fake; it is not something you can con God into thinking you think. Folks tend to gloss over this fact that you need to believe, and that there is no way you can believe if you do not, in fact, believe. God is not the judge of your fourth judicial district court, who you may be able to con once or twice. God is the searcher of souls. What is in your heart, he knows. Your words mean nothing to him, unless they are true. So if I start believing that Jesus is the savior of the world when I am 13 and I live until I’m 86, or if I start believing that Jesus is the savior of the world when I am 86 and I die when I’m 86, it makes no difference. The only important thing is the truth and humility of your heart. So is it “no fair” if I plod away serving God for those 73 years while someone else “plods away” for 73 seconds? No, it’s not unfair. Why ain’t it unfair? Because we’re assuming here, with this question, that serving God is some kind of sacrifice, instead of the wonderful and joyful thing it is. If anybody got ripped off in the earthly realm, it’s the 86-year-old who believed for 73 seconds and then immediately died. People who ask these types of questions think that it is a chore to go against their human nature and seek to rid themselves of impurity. They think they’d be missing out on all the fun—which would include all manner of things, such as rampant fornication, drunkenness, arrogance, intolerance, condemnation of others, greed, lording your alleged greatness over other people … all that stuff. The secret is that that stuff isn’t fun. The weaver of the grand illusion just makes you think it’s fun, and he makes you believe that that is what life is. He’s a simple liar, though. He tells lies, and people believe. (Oh yes, these people have faith in something; they just don’t know what, or who, is holding their soul captive [it’s Satan]. They have faith in themselves and the world, which are tragic, doomed-to-failure places to put any faith whatsoever.)

They get mad an analogous reason as non-christians get mad. we are all plagued via an over inflated ego of continually desirous to win and continually desirous to be good... once you attempt a Christian via proving him/her incorrect... you're genuinely doing christ's artwork, you're checking out their endurance to help them construct more beneficial endurance, you're shaking their faith which will exhibit in the experience that they are fairly truthful or they are only doing a educate... for sure as with each and every people, Christians will fail too, and with God's help they're going to %. themselves up and attempt back.... I mean... if the wisest guy in the international, Solomon might want to be tricked and lured right into a capture, what more beneficial something people... we can all fail a minimum of once, yet failure ability persevering for the subsequent attempt.

Yes I totally agree with you. I have thought about this one a lot and in fact have a brother that did some pretty horrible stuff to his own kids.He now claims to have Jesus in his heart and wants forgiveness.. I am having a real hard time with that. I know I am supposed to or I won't be forgiven for the stupid things I have done myself. Oh boy what a can of worms this could be. I will pray for you and hope you do the same for me. It is a tough world out there my friend.

every human being without God is capable of being a monster and commiting horrific acts .... the spiritual transformation that makes a person born again turns them into a different person .... i can forgive people sure for anything .... but it will take more than an act or a deceptive front to get into heaven and God Knows the heart ... so if they have repented and turned from their evil completely then they will get into heaven yes , and the bottom line is that every human has commited sin that is worthy of death and theres only one way to escape that.

Religion itself is madness.
Religion is really just evil in disguise. Religion is responsible for the majority of wars, conflict and murder of innocent life since humanity began. There is considerable evidence to classify religion as evil, and talk of religion (Gods etc) should be banned. Because the records prove over and over again throughout humanity that religion is clearly responsible for crimes against humanity, taking part in any religious activity should also be outlawed and made a criminal offence.
The world would be a much happier and peaceful place if religion ceased to exist. Although there are some decent religious believers and preachers, they are unwittingly spreading evil around our world, and that they should simply keep their beliefs and thoughts to themselves in the best interests of humanity, or suffer the consequences for their actions.
People should consider that the world would be like Heaven if religion ceased to exist, but all the believers and preachers have turned the planet into Hell.

Yes, it does make me wonder, but that person is more than a murderer. They still have a soul, and they are still potentially redeemed people. If God can change them, I'd forgive them; but they still have to face the consequences of their actions.
Our president needs to fulfill the duties of his office, one of which is to protect the American people. As leader of the USA, he has a lot of tough decisions to make, and I don't agree with many of them. But it's better for us to eradicate a threat to America (which means a painful war) than to suffer the risk that many more Americans could be attacked.

Being forgiven here on earth does not absolve the sins of crimes in the spirit world. Besides, forgiveness does not mean the criminal will go unpunished. It's like, 'You're forgiven but you still have to face the music.'

No, it doesn't.
And Hitler can't be in heaven right now because nobody enters the Kingdom until the Last Day, when God will resurrect the dead, judge the world, and build his everlasting kingdom. This myth about a ghostlike soul floating up into the clouds is a pagan invention.

No, that doesn't make Christians mad. It makes Christianoids and Pharisees mad, but they're only "pretend Christians". You can't be a Christian without Christ. And didn't he say, "If you love me, you will keep my commandments?"
As for our so-called "Christian President", has he not heard, "Forgive your enemies, bless them that curse you?" If he did apparently he heard it as "Bomb them that curse you."
His actions clearly reveal the nature of his "Christianity"--shallow, void of the spirit of God (without which Christianity is only another false religion) and completely superficial.
I suspect that Shrub's operating principle is not WWJD but WWGD. Need I spell that out for you?
Just my own opinion, as usual.
Lord, help me get over the need to spout my worthless opinions, but please Lord, not yet.
