Death is around us everywhere... Each day around 260,000 people die. Young, old, strong, weak, sickness, accidents, war, terror, etc... Tommorow is promised to noone. I implore you to call upon Christ for grace and forgiveness while you still can. He longs to hear from you and does not you to have the pay the penalty for your sins in Hell. He paid your penalty on the cross, yet it is up to you to repent and call upon Him for mercy.

I do every day! I also agree very strongly with you. I'm sure you will get some very nasty answers but don't worry because your only doing what God wants you to do; as in spreading the word of our Lord.

I suggest you look around you even more, and don't leave place for doubt, because there's no place for mistakes ... are you sure of what happened to Jesus pbuh.
What if the writers of the new testament lied ... open your mind to other possibilities and think of this, which is more possible, closer to reality
1 - God is only one, has no gender and has no human-like need. Does not need son, nor needs to sacrifice anyone. That God is Just and will only allow those who work and earn their way to heaven.
2- God is a three in one, and had to sacrifice part himself to do something he should be able to do without any cost.
Please just consider that .. forget about any other religion, get your idea about God straight first.

"Longs to hear from you"? That would be a God who may as well be praying to us, not one who rules the universe. No, it's not even an offer if that's your next argument, He's not a choice on a menu. Faith is given by a God who has predestined His own, loved before the foundations of the earth. Repentance and calling upon Him for mercy is a response to that faith. In that order.

This is a religion (a teaching) about Jesus and not of Jesus. You are participating in the emasculation of the true meaning of the gospel, the "Good News" You are isolating the life of Jesus as an exhibit in a glass case- for worship and not for use....

I know death is inevitable, I'm sure not in a hurry, but I pray always for God to take my soul when it happens. I thank God for Loving us so much to have sent His Son Jesus to save us. There is no other way, I' very sure of that!

^^ Yeah the people above me don't know what they are talking about. Jesus DOES exist and I love Him with all my heart. I am ready for judment day when He returns and I can't wait to see Him. And for all you non-believers, tell me, why was it that in 9-11 the World Trade Center was burnt down to the shape of a cross?

This is supposed to be a question and answer forum. These are loaded questions, where the asker isn't trying to gain an answer, but rather sell others on some viewpoint he may have.
Is this honestly what Yahoo Answers is supposed to be about?

More have died in the name of God than any other unnatural death. Trusting Christ for salvation is like trusting a pedophile to babysit.

Christians will be shocked when they know that the Bible contains the evidence to disprove their beliefs. We will see that the Christianity of the church is different from the Christianity of Prophet Jesus peace be upon him (pbuh).
⺠The Old Testament never mentions the Trinity. God all through the Old Testament is one. How did He suddenly become three in one?! God who sent Moses is the same God who sent Jesus. God does not change in nature or in number.
⺠Jesus was BORN (Matt. 1:1). So he was not before his birth. How could the Trinity exist before Jesus' birth? Is it possible that Jesus was in his full human or divine form with God before his birth, then God said to him, “ O Jesus! I will make you an embryo and insert you in the womb of Mary, and then Mary will give birth to you !!
⺠Jesus was on the earth; God in heaven and the Holy Spirit like a dove over Jesus (Matt. 3:16). Each of the three was a separate and distinguished entity. How could they be ONE when they were THREE different in nature, place, and identity?! One god was on earth and the other god remained in heaven to keep a watchful eye on his "buddy" god who had decided to transform into a man? It makes no sense! Christians can only remain secure behind the curtains of " it is a mystery".
⺠Prophet Jesus (pbuh) said, “By myself I CAN DO NOTHING …” (John 5:30). So Jesus on earth was like a "weak and smaller god", dependent on the bigger and more powerful god known as the Father? That essentially means that they are unequal and hence cannot be one and the same? If they are one God combined, exactly the same, then surely one cannot be greater, more powerful or more knowledgeable than the other.
⺠According to the gospels, Jesus was dead for 1 day and 2 nights after crucifixion. What happened to the Trinity meanwhile?! One member, i.e., Jesus, was dead for 1 day and 2 nights. Did God become two-thirds of a God during the death of Jesus?! WAS GOD FUNCTIONING WITH TWO-THIRDS OF HIS ORIGINAL CAPACITY?!
⺠Jesus said, " NO-ONE KNOWS ABOUT THAT DAY OR HOUR, not even the angels in heaven, NOR THE SON, but only the Father. (Matthew 24:36)." If Jesus and the Holy Spirit, are INFERIOR to the Father in knowledge, then the Father only is God and neither Jesus nor the Holy Spirit are equal to the Father. If so, they are not qualified to unite with Him in the so-called Trinity. This means that Jesus is Jesus and the Holy Spirit is the Holy Spirit and God is God. They are three and each one is separate from the others. Not one in three. Nor three in one.
⺠Had Jesus been a member in the Trinity, he would have had abilities equal to God. But Jesus often thanked God, prayed to Him, and asked for His help. This proves that Jesus is a creature subordinate to God. Thus he cannot be God's partner or equal.
⺠Jesus refused to be called good and said, “NO-ONE IS GOOD—EXCEPT GOD ALONE.” (Luke 18:18,19) If “good" does not apply to Jesus, as Jesus himself asserts and it applies to God only, then Jesus cannot be equal to God and thus cannot be a member in the Trinity because Jesus lacks a basic quality of God, i.e., goodness. If he rejected to be called good, would he accept to be called God?!
⺠The Trinity, in fact, was established by councils which convened in the fourth century more than three hundred years after Jesus. Emperor Constantine wanted a religion that appealed to him personally. He promoted Jesus from the rank of a prophet to the rank of a god!! Thus Jesus became God by decree and the Holy Spirit became God by another decree! They made a compromise: "God is one" to please monotheists and "God is three" to please polytheists. The final output was "three in one" to please no one and displease no one. A religion by voting!! A vague god: ONE if you want him one. and THREE if you want him three, and ONE IN THREE if you wish or THREE IN ONE if you prefer it

The Real Isaac Newton Rejecter of the Trinity and the Divinity of Jesus! because it conflicted with the 1st commandment and also from his knowledge of early Christian history.
