Non Christians: Why do you not want Christ to forgive you?

Question

He is waiting for you to turn to him. He is a loving God and he died so that you could be saved. He offers a free gift. Will you take it?

Answer 1

Are you kidding? What was the point of your other questions?

We don't believe in you god. We have our own beliefs. The only thing you are doing with questions like this is enforcing the belief that Christians push their religion on people.

Answer 2

I'm a Christian, and your question is misleading. The grace of God is not a free gift. You get the salvation but he requires unconditional surrender upon your part. Stop the free gift non sense, almost every atheist knows that turning your life over to God requires turning your life over. They know better.

Answer 3

Because his forgiveness depends on me accepting him as my personal savior. And since I don't believe in the divine nature of God, Jesus, and the like, I won't pretend to believe that my asking for his forgiveness will actually suffice for true belief and faith in his divinity.

My gift is believing that when I die, my consciousness will end and I will neither suffer nor be granted eternal life (which by all accounts looks pretty boring to me).

Put another way, is there sexual pleasure in heaven? Are there cheeseburgers, pizza, and fried chicken in heaven? Is there cold beer in heaven? Are there fast cars in heaven? If the answer to all these things is no, why would I want to be there?

Answer 4

Wow could you possibly be any more self-centered and ignorant? News flash - not everyone believes in Christ!!! And even those non-christians who do believe in christ, maybe they are the ones who are in the "right faith" and YOU are the one in the wrong one - uh-oh! Can you try to understand the concept that YOUR religion is not necessarily the "right one" of all the thousands that exist? I know, you say you have 'evidence' (questionable) - well guess what, so do the other religions! Everyone thinks they have evidence, proof, this, that, etc. You have your bible, others have the Quran. Open your eyes!

Answer 5

Yeah, just look at all the good that Christ has done. The black death, the holocaust, atom bombs, genocide in many African countries, why, bless me, he just gets more merciful every day. What is the free gift? If it's a packet of biscuits (not rich tea though), I'll take it.

Answer 6

I died so that you can be saved. But you guys also die everyday. I got off easy with just a few days on the cross and then ascended into Heaven. But you have to spend an eternity in a burning pit of Hell. Who is really paying the price. Not me suckers. Go to Hell go directly to Hell do not pass go.

Answer 7

For the first of all, I'm a Non Christian, i don't believe in God. There's a saying goes, "As you sow, so must you reap". I don't beleive someone who did a lot of wrong and bad things will be free and innocence only by forgiveness of one. It only depends on our does.

Answer 8

Umm...If someone is a non-Christian, it means that they do not believe in Christ the same way that you do. As such, it's not a question of whether they want Christ to forgive them. You're presuming that non-Christians believe in Christ but reject him, when they don't believe in him (at least as you do), thus rendering the issue of whether his forgiveness means anything irrelevant.

Answer 9

Because I don't believe he was the son of any god. Whyt would I need the forgivness of a man who lived 2000 years ago? He had some good ideas, granted, but I don't think he was connected to any god at all.

Answer 10

why do you want him to forgive you?were you that bad of a person?wow you must of done some bad things huh?what if a person lives theyre whole life and commits no sin,but does not believe,he/she doesnt deserve to be forgiven?of course not they never did any wrong in the first place,if your so worried about forgiveness you should save yourself and not everyone else,because to me that sounds like a cheap way to get out of your sins,save souls to be forgiven,thats crazy,so what are you a thief,rapist,pedophile,what have you done so wrong that you beg for forgiveness,me personally,ive never done anything like that,all my "sins" were committed with the "freewill" you claim he gave us,so technically he gave us permission from the begining or he just has a sick sense of humour and likes watching us make mistakes,so which is it cant be both and it has to be one or the other,either he likes cruel jokes,or we have a right to sin,he gave the right to us.
