take a moment to think about the following statement:
"Hello, my name is Jesus. I love you deeply. I have loved you since you were conceived in the womb and I will love you for all eternity. I died for you on the cross because I love you so much. I long to have a loving personal relationship with you. I will answer all of your prayers through my love. But if you do not get down on your knees and worship me, and if you do not EAT MY BODY and DRINK MY BLOOD, then I WILL INCINERATE YOU WITH UNIMAGINABLY TORTUOUS PAIN IN THE FIRES OF HELL FOR ALL ETERNITY
Yes, this is the central message of Christianity. See John 6:53-54 and Mark 16:16.
Think about this message. We have a being who, according to the Standard Model of God, embodies love. Yet, if you do not get down on your knees and worship him, you will be physically tortured for all eternity. What sort of love is that?

I AM SORRY YOUR POOR HEART IS SO FULL OF HATE.
I wish I was gifted with the words to tell you how to find the truth.
Jesus does love you ,he did die for you.Even with you slamming his name He still love you.
Jesus gave His lives blood for you.You were on your way to hell anyway.You sinned and that kept you from God.Jesus open a door to God for you.
I know it is very hard to understand.But I have prayed for you.Asking Jesus to open your eyes to the truth.
If you are a parent,think about your own children.If they rejected you ,hurt you daily.How would you react?Give Jesus a chance to show you his Love.\o/

Get to know Him, you'll happily worship Him.
Joh 3:16-17
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. (KJV)

yes it makes total sense. EXCEPT FOR THE BURN IN HELL PART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God does not punish people for not beliving in him. He punishes them because they do evil thing because they know it is evil. It makes sense because it is part of my faith. I don't know if Jesus realy lived and I don't know if He was born of a virgin. But I belive it. Why? Because I was raised on it and how else do you expect a religion that is over 2000 years old to keep everything the same (excluding language). Plus, explaain all the miricles, stigmatas, and presertvations of bodies without chemicals.

When I was growing up as a kid, we had a lifeguard just like that. Someone would be drowning and he'd say "grab hold of the life preserver I'm throwing you, or I'll jump in the water and hold you under until it's time for your funeral". I guess that's what you think all lifeguards say.

Exactly. And it's why it's completely obvious that Jesus' message (as well as his whole personna) was changed dramatically when he came and made into the bible.
