You could die today or tomorrow, Nobody knows! More people believe in Christ than they'll admit to. It's just the rules you have to follow, Which your Conscience really does tell you if it's right or wrong. That's what God instilled in you to help guide you through hardships.
We are God's children, Would you want your child to treat you, the same way you treat God?

Want to see what goes through my mind as I read this?
"You could die tomorrow, Nobody knows!" (appeal to emotion - attempting to instill fear to bolster argument - what is the name for that kind of fallacious argument, wish I could remember it)
"More people believe in Christ than they'll admit to." (and how would we know, if they don't admit to it?)
"It's just the rules you have to follow, Which your Conscience really does tell you if it's right or wrong. That's what God instilled in you to help guide you through hardships." (so the rules and conscience - morality - were created by God - not instilled through socialization, education, or our own sense of what is logically a good or bad idea - just God. We are to accept this premise at face value why? Because it has been presented as fact? I don't think so.)
"We are God's children" (and your proof of this is what? Last time I checked, I was the child of my parents - I have proof of this, it is called DNA)
"Would you want your child to treat you, the same way you treat God?" (nice guilt trip there, another cheap appeal to emotion - it's got that condescending tone and is nice and manipulative but proves nothing)
I could never accept this as logic, and therefore, I could never accept this as truth.

Doesn't the fact that so many people don't accept 'christ' make you think that perhaps you have wondered down the wrong path? I'm glad you have a conscience and believe in the good like most of us, but try finding your independent mind as well. It's far better than capitulating to a narrow minded religion which will always leave you with unanswered questions.

There is no Christian God. He was dreamed up by the Romans to control the masses. Jesus existed and he was crucified. Then the powers that be made up this terrific story and the masses bought into it and continue to do so today.
"We are God's children, Would you want your child to treat you, the same way you treat God?"
That is not the question to ask. The question to ask is: would you treat your children the way god treats you? Would you demand perfection from you children? Would you cast them down as sinners for doing things that are considered normal human nature? Would you instill fear in them as a way of controlling them? Would you place conditions on your love? Would you ignore all the good they've done in their lives and damn them to hell because they refused to worship you? Who wants that kind of parent? I sure don't.

The Bible said The road to Heaven is narrow. it said Just like in the days of Noah would be the days of the 2nd comming of christ. It also said that people who beleived in GOD would be laughed at and made fun of..It sais eventually Christianity will be banished from the earth ( sfter the rapture) so thease are just prophecys in the Bible That must and will be fufilled by God. Just do your best to spread the word and dont let it kill you if a moron gets out of line. Its a Fufilled Prophecy.

If I choose to be beheaded I have apparently come to terms with death and whatever god or lack there of I worship. Jesus may be the way for you, but not the way for all.

How am i able to take Jesus as my own saviour, even as he replaced into unable to maintain HIMSELF from getting CRUCIFIED on the go even with all his prayers, moaning, crying & screaming! and this undesirable meek Jesus replaced into tempted via devil for 30 days and 30 nights, he ought to no longer help himself and also you question me to take him as my own saviour? @VALRIE! a million)ok if JESUS died for your sins skill GOD DIED & if God died who managed the international for 3 days? 2) Why replaced into Jesus an UNWILLING sufferer? JESUS prayed for RESCUE (see Matthew 26:37-39) and Luke 22:40 4 and so on.. If this replaced into Gods Plan for a vicarious atonement to redeem mankind, then of direction He had chosen a incorrect change. This candidate replaced into maximum reluctant to die. Aiming, Wailing, Sweating, Crying, Complaining! have not you examine in bible "ELI, ELI, LAMA SABACHTHANI"? WHY HAST THOU FORESAKEN ME!!!! why replaced into no longer his reaction like this "THANK GOD, I have executed MY duty!" ---------------------------------------... TEMPTATION via devil: allow's get some data instantly from the Bible: a million- that is a shown reality that the Bible claims that devil led Jesus and tempted him (Mark a million:12-13, Luke 4:a million-2, Luke 4:5-6 ): 2- that is a shown reality that the Bible claims that devil dragged and led Jesus via this temptation for 40 days and 40 nights. It were given so ridiculous that devil even had Jesus STAND on actual of the temple ( Matthew 4:5-10, Luke 4:10-12, it replaced into as large as a fort; see the Jewish wailing wall of on the instantaneous and how large that is), and draw close from it pushing him and tempting him to bounce and dedicate suicide: 3- that is a shown reality that the Bible prohibits coveting (Romans 7:7-8, 13:9, Micah 2:a million-2, Exodus 20:17, Deuteronomy 5:21, Acts 20:32-35 ). yet, Jesus being heavily tempted for 40 days and 40 nights obviously coveted.

It's within each of us to accept or reject Jesus, but I have found it is not a passive choice, either there is whole hearted and joyful acceptance, or complete hatred.
