He keep saying talking about the word of God. That the people who wrote the Bible are men of God. He said the word of God is true and never be broken.
Then I joke about that the Gate and the tree could be God, and I spoke to the gate and tree and called it God. Then he said Lord forgive him for what he said.
When he about to eat, he thank God for like 10 minutes. He had got about extra 25 dollars in his checking account. So he kept on thanking Jesus and God. He kept saying thank you like these people are real. Then he says I love you Jesus, and you died on the cross for me.
We are both african americans
Then he thinks that he is going to heaven and I am going to hell after we die.
He still thinks man never landed on another planet, like the moon. He still thinks its fake.
I am getting very scared, what am I going to do? I am 22 years old and my cousin is 18 years old,

Why does your cousin have to do it? Doesn't the Bible do a good enough job?

Your cousin loves you and doesn`t want you to go to hell and is doing what God said to do which is to tell all about how to get salvation.
If you read the bible, it says that the only way to the Father is through the Son.
Which means to get to the Father in heaven, you must believe that the Son, Jesus Christ, became man, suffered and died on the cross to save man from sin. Then rose on the third day and after being seen by many went to heaven to sit at the right hand of the Father.
When you believe this, ask Jesus to come into your heart and be your personal saviour.
The sin that sends people to hell is the sin of unbelief. God sent a saviour. When people reject the saviour, they do not want to be saved from hell so that is where they go to spend eternity......in hell.

Sweetheart, your cousin is right. You must repent of your sins in other not to go to hell. God is a merciful God and He will forgive you if you ask for it. John 3:16 said ' For God so loved the world that He gave His ONLY begotten son that whosoever believe in Him will not perish but have an everslasting life. Just confess with your mouth that He is God. You can always get in touch with me when you need help and i will help you with the word of God. Jesus loves you, ok. Take care

grow up. Realize that being scared isn't what is supposed to make you a Christian. Man did land on the moon. He is sinning if he says you are going to Hell. Only God can judge us. Did he thank God when 9/11 happened? Did he thank God when the tsunamis killed over 100,000 people? If he thanks God for all the good things that happens, then God was also the reason Hurricane Katrina happened.

He's just doing what all Christians do when their trying to convert someone else--if you can't get them to believe by telling them about it, then scare them into believing.
I suggest that you tell your cousin that your religious beliefs are none of his business. Don't let him scare you anymore, and don't let him force you to convert if you don't want to.
If you're looking for something to believe in, research other religions and study what agrees with your core beliefs. Don't let your cousin interfere.

The only way to heaven and out of eternal hell, is to believe that Jesus, who is God, died for our sins on the cross and rose again.
Pray now and ask Jesus to forgive your sins, and believe all of this, and you will be saved.

It's normal to use scare tactics if people, including preachers, are not ripe for the teaching. True religion, that pesonal and harmonious relationship with God happens. But nobody has to force or scare you into believing it.

1) the moon isn't another planet, but I'm sure you didn't mean to say that
2) do a search for biblical contradictions, unfufilled profecies, and scientific inaccuracies, not to mention ethical defeats. Show all that you find to him and see how he reacts.
And always remember one thing especially: you can't beat christian logic with real logic. You have to beat it with christian logic.

Fear is being used to manipulate you into believing something that makes no sense to you.This has always been the way. The ability to control your fear is one of many things that separates you from lower animals. Use it. If were MY cousin...I'd use another tool we've been given..the opposible thumb....right in his eye
