Have you ever thought of the suffering of God which was so great that his body shook with pain and blood burst forth from every pore of his body? And for whom did he suffer? Not for himself, but for every living soul who will repent and accept his gospel. That was a manifestation of his great love for all of us mortal beings. By not taking advantage of the great Atonement through belief and repentance,you make Christ's sufferings for your personal pains, sicknesses and sins mean nothing. You're basically slapping him in the face and saying, I do not care if you suffered for me. You put Christ to an open shame and crucify Him unto yourself!

All the unbelievers will have not part in the kingdom of God, instead they will burn in the lake of fire.

I was brought up in a very anti god home and was told from a very young age that when you die you just go into the ground. I never questioned this and was also very anti-god. I would never listen to any ones opinion of God and was always very quick to air my own, even though I could not substantiate anything I said. I never thought to explore how everything came to be or the complexities of life itself or why I was here. I hated to talk about death because I didn't want to think about it. So I can understand why people don't explore the validity or possibility that Jesus came so they can have eternal life. We are not naturally wired to draw near to God. Humanity is wired to destruct and be self seeking not God seeking, let alone being thankful to God.

Have you heard about deception and the eyes of those that cannot see, because they are decieved. This is a harsh way of portraying the GOspel and I feel one should not push people into a corner like you are doing. I agree God did a wonderful thing for mankind but he treated people with love and kindness and not with a harsh scolding as you are doing. Its all about choice. Everything in life is about choice. You either choose to believe or not. We cannot force the gospel down anyones throat and you must rather not do this. God is a God of love and he gives people one freedom only and that is the freedom of choice. Be more sensitive in future how you word yourself. You can be doing harm this way.

LMAO! You really want us to believe that the supreme being and master of the a universe that spans 13.7 billion light years in all directions suffers pain on behalf of infintessimal small and intellectually challenged biological machines inhabiting a single planet orbiting a star among 300 billion in a galaxy among 300 billion ...
it's just utter and complete nonsense, thank you

Were the capabilities of that "supreme being and master" no greater than those of a man, your argument would be a persuasive one, but how could such a being create a universe? G-d concerns Himself with each of us, in all of our cosmic insignificance, because it is well within His capabilities to do so.
That you, given those same capabilities, would not tells us rather more about the emptiness of your heart than it does about the emptiness of creation.

There you go again! Presuming that anyone who doesn't accept the divinity of Jesus Christ is a "nonbeliever". You arrogant creep! I am Jewish and I believe in my own concept of what god is and it doesn't include Jesus.

lets look at this logically.
1. god made the rules for sin.
2. human nature is fallible and we are unable to avoid sin.
3. god created human nature.
4.god is omniscient.
5. god create humans in the full knowledge that they would break his rules.
6. humans therefore cannot be held responsible for something that is predetermined as it negates free will.
7. god is responsible for sin.
8. god is omnipotent and controls all events.
9. therefore as creation is predetermined and human nature means that sin is inevitable, so Jesus died for our sins which we were incapable of avoiding because god made the rules.
10.this means that god is ultimately responsible for the sins and he sacrificed himself for those sins in circumstances that were fully under his control.
11. god committed suicide.

All through history people have died to help others, but most of their deaths actually mattered. It doesn't matter if Jesus died or didn't because he wasn't god and didn't know what he was talking about. I have no reason to be grateful to some one who died for their own BS.

Um.
We can be so "ungrateful" specifically because we don't believe in any of the stuff you just said.
And since we don't believe it, why would we feel grateful? That just wouldn't make any sense at all.

Ungrateful for what? There are no gods. No gods are suffering for anybody.
The only people I put to an open shame are religious nuts who still think their superstition is reality.

How can you be so ignorant? If we don't believe in your god, then obviously we don't believe that he suffered. You have to exist to suffer.
