on other people's questions, I notice you say that God won't force himself on anybody--so you have to do it for him? Jesus loves you whether you like it or not, but so did Dahmer and Bundy, and they stayed with you until you died as well, what makes Jesus any better than the common rapist? That's easy, he gets his sheeple to perform the criminal act for him!

Missionaries did a lot of this. They still do.

It is true each person has to want to accept Jesus. One cannot be forced into it. The only thing Christians can really do is tell others about Him and why following Him can be is life-altering. I'm sorry that your experience has caused you to make such strongly negative remarks. None of us are without sins in this world, but we are forgiven of them by the grace of God through the death of Jesus Christ. Whether or not we choose to follow Him is a matter of individual desire. If we accept this grace, we can walk on the path to doing His work in this world while preparing for the next. In any event, God will always forgive and will readily accept anyone who strays but sincerely returns to Him.

you know that is your Creator your talking about there.
I find it funky that people say they feel force when talking to Christians about the faith, if you feel that is must be the Holy Ghost knocking at your heart
Stones and Sea
© by Eden's Bridge
In the beginning, I was counting the stones on the seashore,
Looking for the precious ones.
Among the stones, I found many pretty things
While the sea rolled on beside me all the time
Time moved on.
I had collected many stones 'til I tired of them,
And I think they tired of me.
Some were lovely, but I was never satisfied,
And the sea rolled on beside me all the time.
And the wind rose, east and cold.
Whip'ring sweetly to my soul.
And it said "look you fool, You are missing precious things:
Raise your eyes and look towards the sea."
So I looked:
It was as if I saw the sea for the first time,
And its power captured me.
All the time I had wasted seeking stones,
I had missed the rolling glory of the sea.
And the sea
Devoured a mighty swathe of heart, overwhelmed me
In a way I couldn't know,
And the price for the love of greater things
Was surrender to the great and cruel sea.
And it stole me, and I feared the aching sea,
It consumed me, drowned my mind.
The wind said "Look, you fool,
No matter what you do,
You can't contain the ocean like a stone.

No matter how much you curse Jesus the Christ or disparage Him in any way, He continues to love you and wants very much for you to believe in and accept Him as your Savior.
BTW, this is not forcing His love on you, it is though a reminder of the opportunity you have. Go in peace.

Spiritual rape? Forcing God's love? I sincerely pray for God's healing to come upon you and His peace be with you.
You are never forced to accept or do anything, especially with God. He does and will always love you, but if you choose to love Him or not in return is up to you.

Warning unbelievers that hell awaits those who reject forgiveness for sin through repentance and believing in Jesus Christ is not spiritual rape, it's the cure for the spiritual rape that the devil performs on human kind every minute of every day.

Do you know the definition of "love?"
Do you know the definition of "rape?"
Can you differentiate between "love" and "depravity?"
How dare you belittle the victims of Dahmer and Bundy by comparing their horror to normal religious and philosophical discourse!

oh, I'd be very careful what you say or insinuate about Jesus Christ if I were you.........
The Jesus you speak of is the Son of God....whom YOU will have the opportunity to meet face-to-face on Judgement day.
I might suggest that you take care with what you say about Jesus, the Living God, if only in jest.
You will have to answer for your words at that time.
"But I say unto you that every idle word that men shall speak,
they shall give account of it in the day of judgement.
For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words
thou shalt be condemned."
The words of Jesus Christ
