Him or His church?
2007-08-19 06:29:09 · update #1
Going to hell is such a strong statement. As a believer I don't think anything I will do will send me to hell. Once saved always saved is my motto. However, standing up for my faith and beliefs is something that I do often. I am not perfect and sometimes I shrink from the opportunity, but I believe that if you spend time around me that you will know that I am a Christian. I think that if it were my responsibility to defend Jesus 24/7 I would never be able to leave this particular forum. That is absurd. The truth is that Jesus doesn't need anyone to defend Him, but by doing so, it just strengthens my commitment and determination to do a better job of serving Him. Believe me when I say that this forum has helped my to sharpen my sword and I continue to look for the fun and challenging questions that this community posts either as a mockery or as a serious inquest.

People who mock Jesus usually aren't really familiar with what his teachings WERE; they are generally more familiar with what Paul made up about him. This includes many Christians.
As for "his church", which one would that be???
But to answer your question, I'm not very cncerned about this. I am FAR more concerned about my own life being a witness for, and my own ability to follow, Jesus' teachings.

No. Jesus will remember those who mock Him and get the last laugh.

No one is going to hell. The unbelievers will die the second death in the lake of fire but this will be a cleansing process and not permanent. Any who believe that God who is an infinite creator, who loves infinitely, all of his creations, even Satan w/o condition would sentence any of his beloved creatures to eternal damnation is sorrily mislead. No where in the Bible does it say eternal hell will be where you go if you listen to the devil. It only speaks of the lake of fire. Jesus said that those who don't believe in him will be cast out (into the second death--the lake of fire), but he didn't say they would go to an everlasting pit of eternal damnation.

Not at all.
Sometimes I feel moved to answer for Christ, and sometimes I don't..i try to have balance, and listen for Gods promptings.....
I also try not to cram my religion down peoples throats, and be an example without speaking.

I defend God, because there is no reason why people should reject the possibiliy that He exists. What is there to lose? I don't preach, but if someone harasses me for my beliefs, i make it clear that it's none of their business.

no I'm set, I'm going to heaven when I die. I stand up for my beliefs so that others may also know the truth.

HELL, has nothing to do with it...its the principle...its called respect, and some people here go out of their way to insult
God, and the people that believe in HIM.

No :-) People say terrible things because they're angry or hurt and want others to feel that way... People can say what they want, it doesn't change anything... :-)

No. God can defend himself, and will...Your arms are too short to box with God!
