Why do people reject the LORD. The only means of everlasting life. It seems pretty common sense to me why we should. People choose to die and to be separated from GOD forever? .....Just seems stupid to me. Seems like this one is a no brainer! I agree it's hard to walk in the light at times and foresake ourselves at times for the LORD and put up with persecution but JESUS made it pretty clear.... LOVE ME, LIVE FOR ME......or die forever.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????

It seems like a no-brainer, doesn't it? The hard part is knowing that not everyone will be saved. The grace of God still baffles me to this day. Christ died for people I wouldn't swerve the car for. But I'm grateful that He died for me, so I shouldn't complain. The Scripture is clear.There will be some who value their pleasure, wealth, power and intellect above Jesus Christ.. That makes it all-the-more important that we live a consistent Christian life so that by all means we might save some.

To be able to believe is a gift.
If it hasn't been given, how can you believe?
Faith is a gift and it is required to believe.
Grace is a gift--(unmerrited favor)
The verse below should tell you that it is God who does the saving.
Eph 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;
This is the key verse of the New Testament.

I reject your God because he is malevolent. Only a malevolent deity would send people to hell and torture them for all eternity just for not worshiping him.
Do you realize what you are saying? What if someone came up to you and yelled at you "Love me, live for me... or die forever"? What would you think of that person? I don't know about you, but I'd think they were a psycho and would want to get as far away from them as I could!

Speaking truth to a worldly heart is like foolishness to them...unable to see, comprehend, the truth due to the scales covering their eyes. The only remedy is prayer to remove the blindness, softened and prepare hearts to receive truth.

it's common sense that an uncreated omnipotent, omniscient being created humans, tempted them with knowledge, punished them for partaking of it, causing them to "sin" (which because he was omniscient, he already knew would happen).
then he sent his "son" (born of the immaculate deception) to get himself executed, which was somehow supposed to eliminate the sin - which of course it didn't, because all humans are still sinful.
common sense, indeed! it's a wonder not everyone can accept this simple and obvious truth!

trusting god lightens the burden
just trust god can fix anything ,
we can tell people then we have to proove our faith by trusting in god
recall some demons can only be removed by prayer
thier own prayer because they refused to hear
no one can be sepperated from god forever all they need to do is repent and god welcomes ALL OF US back ,
jesus wants us to die to sin
not sin to die but to [them who sin]to see that its a wide road that leads to hell
but we all have to chose of our freewill
do that you do then trust god.

You can't REJECT something that doesn't exist. That's like, "Why do you REJECT Santa and the toothfairy and the easterbunny?? It only means presents and money and candy!" Sorry but you're wrong.

It's a "no-brainer"? Ok. Why do you reject alllllll those other gods? Using your "logic" it's a "no-brainer" that all of them are real too.
