i left a comment on this one girls question, i don't really remember the question but it was advocating bisexuals, and gays, so me being the christian i am left the bible verse that says homosexuals will not inherit the kingdom of God, meaning they're going to hell, and she personally left a comment in all caps saying " i didn't ask for ur S***** bible verse, keep that **** to yourself", ........*sigh*...
it's depressing knowing that people openly reject God, ..any christians out there?

you non-believers can rationalize your empty existence however you please. but know this, when the end times come, God says "Every knee will bow, and Every tounge shall confess him as lord" even Satan. you cannot break me.

I too am a Christian, and I agree that it's sad that some reject God. It is a difficult thing to judge others sin without judging myself. We all sin and fall short of the glory of God.Jesus died to forgive the sins of all people and not just a select few. I need forgiveness as much as anyone else. But, a person needs to admit, confess his/her sins and turn from them. When we know that something we're doing is wrong, not in our overall best interest, and sinful it only makes sense to quit making the same mistake.The time comes when we need to confess our mistakes to God and ask His forgiveness.Why people don't seem to want to do that puzzles me. I am tempted to ask "what bad things has God done to you?" "Is your activity a plus for your life and God pleasing?" It's kind of like an alcoholic realizing alcohol is ruining his life and turning from, quitting, being an alcoholic Put the booze away, get clean, and move forward. I think it's the same way with homosexuality. It's wrong, sinful, can be hazardous to health, un-natural. That being the case, correcting the problem would be in their best interest. We all make mistakes but turning from the mistake is the main thing.

If there really is a God watching everyone right now, and if that God really will send people to a place of eternal suffering for something as silly as the choice of religion -- completely ignoring every other positive aspect of their character -- then I'll gladly go to hell. In fact, I'll go there without any complaint whatsoever. Some of the most fantastic people I know in my life are going to burn forever if Christianity is true, all because they picked the wrong religion. That's right: Forget all the people they helped. Never mind their service and work with charity. Don't even take into consideration the fact that they are totally nice, caring, unselfish, generous and loving. Nope. None of that matters. If you're not a Christian, you get the fire. That's that.
You think I'm going to worship a God who believes that that makes sense? Absolutely not.
I'm not trying to be funny or stupid. I mean every single word I say. You can use any Bible verse you want to try and scare me with how horrible hell supposedly is, but I don't care. How I would feel in hell is nothing compared to how I would feel in heaven with the knowledge that my closest family members and friends are burning beneath me, all because we have a deity that cares most about something as silly as choice of religion.
Give me the fire instead.

I looked at the question you're talking about. You didn't answer the question, all you did was post bible verses telling the girl what an abomination she is. You got EXACTLY what you deserved. Why are you hanging out in the gay and lesbian section anyways? Just to harass people? You ought to be ashamed of yourself, not proud. Even the God you claim to worship, Jesus, would never go around "casting stones" at people.
As for your added comments about how all those who don't worship your God have an empty existence...I say you must be projecting. Because only someone with an empty existence would seek out people to insult and harass online like you did.

Dark Angel, you should consider that there are millions of souls on this planet who do not believe what you believe. There are many "holy texts" with faithful followers who believe they are following the right teaching, as you believe you are. Where is the love that Jesus preached applied by telling people they will go to hell? One of the teachings of Christianity is to spread the word, yes, but in this day and age, there are few who have not been exposed to the Bible and Christianity, therefore if they reject it, it is certainly not your place to condemn them. They have already "heard the word" and your "Christian duty" ends there. Furthermore, there are many believers in God who don't' buy what Christianity teaches ... they are not rejecting God as you state.
Your ego is expanding beyond any obligation that Christianity teaches ... or you just don't understand the teachings.

A Lord owned a large beautifull land, which had many people living on it whom He loved. One day, the Lord decides to take a journey away from his land. He leaves no body in charge , because every body on the land are his children, both daughters and sons. As time goes by, some of the people begin to lose faith and fear, so much in fact, that they begin to believe that if they do not do certain things, they will be punished when there Father, the Lord, returns.
They give themselves the title of Leader, and begin to preach to others in the land, there belief s, and warn everyone that if they do not do as the Leader says , then there Father, the Lord, shall punish them when He returns.
Some begin to follow the Leader, and others decide not to, for they know How much there Father, the Lord truely loves them.
Yet the Leader and his followers, decide to banish those whom do not follow him, and throw others out of the land.
One day, the Lord of the land, there Father, finally Returns. And when He does, He notices that many of his children were not there.
Asking around , He finds out what happened, and therefore, brings forth to Him, the leader and all the leaders followers.
And the Lord, there Father, asks them ," You sent forth some of my children from there Home here in my land . Why did you do this?"
The leader and his followers answered," We did this for You, showing our love to you we did so in your name too , to cleanse your land my lord father."
With this, the Lord, Father got Very angery, " You did NOTHING for ME ! You have sent forth MY CHILDREN into Darkness and what s worse is You did so In my NAME !! For this YOU shall recieve the SAME punishment you gave those you judged."
And with that said, He banished the leader and all his followers , and threw them out of his land into darkness

There is nothing that you can do this sort of thing is prevelanyt today just as the Bible said it would be, People have the choice to listen to God's voice in the Bible or not to,it is very sad that people choose not to listen to God and benefit their lives, they rather listen to Satan's voice, who cares not what happens to them. yes I know what you mean it is sad very sad that so many do the things you describe but the Bible does say that we are ;living in wicked days(Ephesians5:16)

Your concept of 'hell' is wrong.
It is simply man's grave.
It is closely associated with death.
(Revelation 20:14) And death and Ha′des were hurled into the lake of fire. This means the second death, the lake of fire.
the second death means destruction, annihilation. So it cannot be a permanent place.
Torment forever and ever applies only to Satan and organisations, not people.
(Revelation 20:10) And the Devil who was misleading them was hurled into the lake of fire and sulphur, where both the wild beast and the false prophet [already were]; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
The ' wild beast' is governments and the 'false prophet' is false religion.
Simply done away with.

Ah...so you have a direct hotline to God do ya? How's that working out for ya? The girl's answer was rude but the sentiment isn't wrong. People don't need you condemning them. That's God job. You have no earthly idea who is going to hell. That is between God and that person.
God made homosexuals too. They share this world with you whether you like it or not. That is their lifestyle, not yours. You have no right to tell them where you think they're going because guess what? You're a flawed human just like the rest of us and you don't know any more than the rest of us. You're hiding behind a book to promote your hate. That's not right.
Do you honestly think God is going to frown upon you for using His name to condemn one of His children when you should know better or for someone who is just being themselves? Think about it. If you're free of sin, go ahead and cast that stone. I'll bet good money that you're not because you already proved you don't obey all of the bibles words.
Stay out of the gay section if it bothers you. You're not going to change anyone and it's not your place to. You wouldn't want someone who worshipped a marshmallow to tell you that you're going to hell for not worshiping said marshmallow. Respect others and stop shoving your beliefs down others' throats. God never and I do mean NEVER said to do that.

Dear Dark Angel,
i want to remind you that the Bible also teaches us that we are to speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15) and that we ought also to season our words with grace 4:5-6 and this is a part of walking wisely towards those who are outside (or do not know Christ).
Please feel free to check out my previous answers- but i've managed to share the same truth with many homosexuals and have actually even received some kind emails and have had some great conversations with some new friends i have made. We need to remember that we can not change what Jesus says... but Jesus gives Himself to us out of love.
Yes people do openly reject God... but the question you have to ask yourself- is are they denying Jesus and his message, or are they denying the messenger, because he has failed to deliver the whole message (not just the truth- but the love with it).
When i shared with my brother about Jesus- he told me to "F" off... and i shared with him that he had to make up his own mind about Jesus- but because i love him and even though he may think it's ridiculous that he has to accept Jesus to be saved... i told him it would be unloving for me not to tell him. How you tell is as important as how you tell.
By sharing about yoru conversation with this person... i think you're better off asking for forgiveness not for what you said- but perhaps for how you said it.
Hope that helps- and just food for thought as you continue to do your best to share about Jesus' love with others in the future.
Kindly,
Nickster

First of all, the great Christian you are, learn to spell. You don't sound intelligent otherwise. Secondly, I don't understand why you would even believe in a cross made of wood. Use your own brain; you will be saved from eternal damnation by God.
THERE IS NOTHING WITH HOMOSEXUALS. ARE YOU IN THE CLOSET?!
