The Bible says that all the souls belong to God (Ezekiel 18:4). Time has been put into human hearts (Ecclesiastes 3:11). The day of death is better than the day of birth (Ecclesiastes 7) because it is by then that people have made their good reputation. In the meantime, the Bible-based response would be - just leave people alone in terms of judgements!

Hi! My name is Anthony, and even though I have had a difficult time practicing the things in my life that are Christianlike because of my sinful nature, I am a firm believer in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. Now, I haven't read your previous statements concerning religion, but it is apparent from what you have stated above that some were offended by a question or statement you made at an earlier time. I don't really like to join conversations without some idea of what is being discussed, but from what is written above I can say that I have found many people to have a tendency to feel threatened when their beliefs are questioned because they feel that they are right, and change is something further out than they care to venture, and that includes religion, so they almost automatically take on a defensive posture. When people ask questions about someone's faith the person being asked should be ready to stand in defense of the gospel, but that doesn't mean that the word of God is intended to be used as a sword to cut someone's head off. There are many people in this world today who cite numerous excuses as to why they don't believe either in the Bible, or God Himself for that matter, so they go on living their lives thinking that as long as they are doing more good than bad in this life they will enter the kingdom of God.This is not the posture of a true Christian, because Jesus said that He is the way, the truth, and the life, and no one comes to the Father but by Him. (John 14:6). He already paid our debt to the Father for all of us, and all He said that we need to do is believe in Him and we will be saved, (Romans 10:9-10), (Acts 4: 10-12). When I look around the world and see all the killing in the name of God I think to myself how misguided these people are. Everybody wants to rule, but none are qualified rulers. In the Bible there are many entries that we are to have faith in because that's what the Bible is all about; Faith! If there is something that one does not understand and inquires about it, a faithful Christian would see that as an opportunity to witness to that person. Please don't feel that because there are some who misconstrue their place in life as a Christian it makes them a part of a majority, because that is not true. We all are sinners and fall short of God's glory (Romans 3:23), and it is only through the blood of Jesus Christ on the cross that we are saved, (Heb 9:28). I may not have answered any questions you have, only because I haven't read your earlier script, but I just wanted to check in and say that we should not judge the masses by the actions or opinions of a few. I will pray for you and ask God to bestowe upon you the blessing of sight as He did for me. God bless you my brother; Keep asking if you don't understand; There are many of us who would give you the answers that God gave to us to share with the world. When we think about how significant we are in this world, think about it in this way: We are smaller than a grain of sand in relation to the size of the earth, and the size of the earth is smaller than a grain of sand in the universe. Let us be humble and edify one another. God bless you and yours!

I perceive with the Christian faith. i do no longer, however, sense like i'm in the class as you defined above. There are Christians like that and that i desire i'm on no account one in all them. I even have countless questions - such as you have observed at the instant. I actually have a tricky time with the theory of accepting Jesus and then being "lined" for all eternity. i'm uncertain relating to the belief of "as quickly as saved, continually saved." i'm attempting to parent countless stuff out. and that i do no longer think the Bible is "appropriate and freed from contradictions." easily, i think of that's confusing and could have been written in a much much less complicated way. i've got confidence it replaced into inspired by technique of God, yet no longer dictated. as a result, written by technique of guy. no longer all Christians are such as you defined - yet a lot are. I desire I had each and every of the solutions, yet I merely have frequently questions.

I just read your previous questions and I saw a lot of thoughtful considered responses. I didn't see anyone get angry. I think you're looking for aggression that simply doesn't exist.

There is a way to ask questions without being condescended....It was not your way. You clearly meant to provoke.

They see legitimate questions as attacks because they have doubts. That is the bottom line.
