1. God LOVES you and offers a wonderful PLAN for your life.
"God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life" John 3:16.
Why is it that people are not experiencing the abundant life?
2. Man is SINFUL and SEPARATED from God. Therefore, he cannot know and experience God's love and plan for his life.
Man Is Sinful
"All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" Romans 3:23.
3. Jesus Christ is God's ONLY provision for man's sin. Through Him you can know and experience God's love and plan for your life.
"God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" Romans 5:8.
4. We must individually RECEIVE Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord; then we can know and experience God's love and plan for our lives.
"As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name" John 1:12

Another one that has no clue about the origins of the Christian church starting at the Council of Nicea in 325 A.D., where it was first agreed upon that Jesus actually was a god. Before that he was honored as a prophet. Thus, it took Jesus 325 years to "become God". So much for being omnipotent. Your religion is based on a distortion of history. I think I'll just try and live life in a godly way instead - makes more sense than worshipping a myth.

Personally, I don't have any issues with God, but I do have issues with your logic. You can't quote the Bible to complain that people don't share your religious beliefs. The Bible is just another thing you don't share. The Bible is taken on faith to be the word of God, and if someone doesn't share your belief in God, they definitely don't share your belief in the Bible.
For example, if I asked why you hate Islam, if you did, and then quoted the Koran saying what a great religion it is, I bet you would feel the same way.
I don't claim to believe that any 1 religion or way of life has all the truth, but I do believe that it is up to the individual to find their own path in life, and I believe it is shameful in God's eyes to tell them they are sinners and judge them when you do not know their spiritual path at all.

A person can't hate what a person doesn't believe in. With all due respect why don't you pray for people to love "your creator the who gave you life"? It's more of a peaceful way of gaining more people. If it doesn't work then guess it just wasn't meant to be.

Our all-powerful, all-knowing creator need merely show up in the sky one day and we would all immediately and unquestioningly give him the respect he so deserves. Since he has not done so, one must assume that he is either too busy to be bothered with saving the human race or he really just doesn't exist.

who hates god? I don't believe in gods so how can i. Instead of questioning me why not question Religon and its motives. Not just today but religon across all time. You don't even try to wonder that maybe what you've been taught all your life isn't really true but just to keep you in control of yourself? Is that hard to believe?

I <3 God.
He's crazy about every one of us.
Its funny you should ask that, because i just got back from a mission trip and i asked Jesus into my heart last night. I had done it before, but i didnt feel it until now. Its amazing how, all of my friends and i kind of left him (sadly) and just forgot to go to church, and forgot to enjoy what He gave us, but then, last night on the last day of the mission trip they were showing us how to humble ourselves and we washed eachother's feet. I dont know how it happened though, but all of the sudden i could feel him with us, and i just started crying (tears of joy) realizing that he has been waiting for me to come back to him ever since i left him; when i looked up, everyone was crying too. each and every one of us invited him into our hearts then and there, and we really know what it means now.
i dont understand those who dont believe in him, you cant see him, but you can see what he has done, and you can feel him.

I don't hate him, just like I don't hate Santa Claus. If you want to believe in this stuff, go for it, but trying to force it on others like this only makes you look like a buffoon, and drives reasonable people away.

I just hate preachy arrogant a holes who think they have all the answers and are better than you. Do you even consider that you might be wrong? I have considered the facts and theory behind religion, how it is so open to human corruption. I bet you havent even thought it through.
