Do you realize that there are consequences to all that you think, say and do. That everytime youtrash Jesus, God and Christians that you are crucifying our Lord? We all reap what we sow. Many people are decieved that they can get away with doing wrong. My testimony to you, is simple. Be careful what you think, say and do because there will be a day you will be called on it. There will be justice. Right will be right and wrong will be wrong. Funny how people are rarely ever sorry for what they do when they are doing it but when they get caught and need to be punished for their wrongs they are always sorry. People get many opportunities to change and live right but the day does come that the chances are done. Do not wait to long to convert.

What if you find out you are the one that is wrong? How do you know that you are right? If you use the Bible to justify your position, then how, when I show you my book, do you conclude that yours is better than mine?
What happens if we are all right? Read the books of Narnia. They are really good, and while told in a Christian slant (although most hard core Christians would disagree) the ending is great because EVERYONE is right. They all get what they expect to get in the end. The ones that believed in God go to God. The Atheist do not "go" anywhere. Everyone sees that they are the best off, and everyone gets proof they "they were right all along." It is really well written.
What if none are "right" and the "true faith" has yet to emerge on this world? How can I say that? What happens to all the people that lived before Christ? How can you say that by doing the same things that their ancestors did, that recent Jews cannot get into heaven, but the ancient ones can, even though they all worshiped God in the same way? What about all the people that lived in areas not exposed to Christianity until 1492? Do they not even get a shot at heaven?
You are God, I am God, and all that Groks is God.

Shayna,
As the Bible states, be wise as a serpent and innocent as a dove. There is a difference between sharing your testimony with people and shoving it down their throats. While I do agree that people who are blatantly insulting Jesus should not do so (no one should be insulted) you also need to realize that these people on these boards have heard all this before. If it didn't change the way they think with the past x-hundred throatshovings, this one will not either. Share your faith on an individual level with people who are willing to listen to what you have to say, and do not feel like you are trying to stomp on them. Posting a throatshoving on a forum like this will do any of several things. 1) Make Christianity look bad. 2) Give people a target to mock. 3) Deflate your enthusiasm, as you find your words did not acheive the intended result of changing so many people's way of thinking. I say all this to you in love, and do not wish to sound like I'm telling you to "shut up" because you have every right to share your beliefs as well. Serve Jesus, but as I said at first...be wise as a serpent and innocent as a dove. Know when to speak and when to refrain from speaking, and how best to reach people in a non-imposing way. God bless.

You know what....I don't believe you. There...it's that simple. I don't believe you. I don't know you or know what kind of person you are. I don't know whether you always tell the truth or maybe you're a pathological liar. So why would I just believe what you say especially when all you've done is to lecture me like I was a child and you have all the answers. How rude and arrogant of you! And why do so many Christians think anyone who doesn't believe in Jesus is a non-believer? There are many of us who are Jewish or Muslim or Hindu or Buddhist who are very spiritual people but don't accept Jesus as the Messiah. I AM living right according to the principles of my chosen religion. I don't need a total stranger to tell me how to live.

How can you tell me that I am wrong for having an opinion. Just because it is different than yours dosent mean it is completely wrong. The problem is that you sit there and state what you say as fact. There is no way to know God actually exists. You cant prove it. Just because it is written in a book and you believe what that book says, dosent make it true.
Prove it to me. Give me one piece of tangible evidence that God exists. No quotes from the Bible. I dont believe the Bible so you cant use it to prove anything. One thing, something I can hold in my hand or something that I can witness with my own eyes that will prove, without a doubt that God exists.
You cant. Thee is notihng but your faith. Thats it. And you faith proves nothing.
So, prove it and I will believe. Prove it to me and I will ask Jesus to forgive me of everything right here on YA.
You cant do it.

"Beware of false prophets for they shall come bearing the name of the Lord thy God", well it looks like we have one here kids. You still think along such pedantic and primitive lines. God could give a rats a.$.$. about what you think and here's why. God, blessed be his name, created us to live life to the fullest, not the dullest, not the most submissive. What point would there be to that. You and your kind constantly get it wrong, God actually loves us, and he wants us to be happy, not morose and blah, not colourless and despairing, that is what you would have of the rest of us. I do not fear God, I talk to him and yes occasionally am not to happy with him, but he will never leave me. Not because I worship (which I do privately, I don't go to church and no longer belong to any organized religion) him, but because like any good father he will love me unconditionally, and never punish in the way your kind believe. What kind of father on earth would ever throw their own child into a pool of fire, would you? if not then why would an all loving God. Answer that, and you will know the truth and not the lies of old men in Churches.

Thanks for the sermon, but I'm sure everyone here realizes that there are consequences for all that they do. If you're trying to convert people, you're going about it the wrong way. Trying to scare them into thinking they will go to hell if they dont join your religion doesn't work anymore.
My advice would be to focus on yourself. Let others make their own decisions about what they believe and don't believe, because in the long run you can't change anyone's true beliefs.

I believe that there is no God and that if there ever was a Jesus that he was just a man. I believe that there is no rhyme or reason to the universe, no rules for good and evil, no "cosmic justice," no heaven and no hell. I believe that no matter how a person behaves in their life, whether they're lovers or haters, everyone ends up in the same place in the end. Now, bearing all this in mind, why should I care about the nature of my actions and their supposed consequences?

People always make the mistake of trying to apply their own personal opinions and values to others and say "I think this this and this, and if you don't agree, you're wrong and better change now!" You should learn that everyone is different, not everyone can believe what you think they should. There haven't been any consequences to what I think and say so far, which would imply to me that there never will.
"It's your hell, YOU go to it!"

Could it be that not everyone believes the same way you do. Or maybe that there could be a slight difference between knowing something and believing something. I have no problem believing or others believing anthing they want. It is when people "know" things that are not "knowable" that problems arise and people die for the wrong reasons'

So what are you saying that 4 billion people walking the earth right now are going to go to hell because they do not believe in your God.
I thought arrogance was a sin.
And after reading you long drawn out banter I have only one thing to say.
You are going to be severly disapointed the day you die.
