You don't have to be a murderer, pedophile, drunkard or drug addict to forfeit your soul to the devil. All you have to do is ignore Jesus. And that is enough to separate someone's soul forever from God. If you don't have Jesus today, you are deceived and hell bound. Please consider the gift of salvation that Jesus can offer you right now.

God doesn't want to be separated from you. But He is a Holy God, and you cannot commune and fellowship with Him in eternity if you have sin on you. Repent and believe in His resurrection, then you will live forever with Him! God Bless you all!

The world loves their own. If they hated Him, they will hate you also. You speak the truth, but some want their ears tickled.
I'm a One God Apostolic, tongue talking, Heaven-bound believer in the Power of Jesus Name. I've been washed in the Blood, sanctified by the Spirit, and I believe in Holiness and I suggest that you should do the same! Now of course this should bring some thumbs down, why do you hate it when Christians speak up on a R&S site? This sister has a right to express her belief, and you have the right to reject what she says. She has more love in her heart than most of us will ever comprehend.

If one has not accepted Jesus, then they are dead in their sins, Romans 6:11, and a slave to them. John 8:34. Jesus sometimes referred to sinners being of the devil or his sons. John 8:34-41; 1 John 3:8. Satan does not obtain ours souls, however, as all are under God's authority and all unreprentant sinners, including Satan, receive the same punishment - Hell. Revelation 20:7-15.
EDIT: To ME!!! Please read the Bible before you purport to speak authoritatively as a Christian. It's not about what you think is right, but what God thinks that matters.

I'll ask you a question: what happens to someone who grew up in a part of the world where they simply had never heard of Jesus? During this person's life, they never went to any Christian country, no missionaries ever came to their village, and they died in ignorance of the "truth", as you might call it.
If believing that Jesus is the Son of God and died for your sins is the only way to escape an eternity of torment, does that mean that God would send that person to hell for their (not willful) ignorance? If so, then God is not just.
But if God *is* just, then God wouldn't send that person to hell, just because of their never having had an opportunity to hear the gospel. In that case, though, Jesus clearly couldn't be the *only* way into Heaven, since God (in his justice) made it possible for the above person to get into Heaven.
Do you see where I'm going with this?

I don't judge you.....because I spent alot of years spitting the same mindless jargon. Then I had an epiphany, and I am truly free now. Before you profess god or Yoshua, take a few seconds to actually study it yourself and you will see the story has so many holes punched through it it's unfathomable. The bible is an interesting book, but only that. It's not the divine word of god, it's a cleverly marketed book of fiction. The earliest version of the bible we have is 400 years younger than Yoshua Ben Yosef and we have absolutely no idea who wrote it. To find god, you have to first truly seek him. Not accept the pre-packaged one you were handed in church.

I agree - I cant believe some of the ignorant answers I see here. But never the less, you got it right - Jesus is the way and the truth and the life.

The thing that aggravates me is people keep saying Jesus is making you an offer. Jesus has saved y'all already. The good news is once and for all time Jesus has saved ALL YALL. Their is no IF you believe it mess. Soon Jesus will bring honor and glory and a new world,one that Jehovah has promised. Thank God for sending us a redeemer. We all have sin within and we are all going to die and go to hell as a result and then God will judge all,and thanks to Jesus we have a redeemer for by his stripes you ARE healed. Ain't no IF you believe it mess. It is a fact. Satan's wicked world is coming to an end and a new dawn is rising on my salvation by Jesus the Christ the redeemer of my soul. Amen.

An eternity in a lake of fire for not blindly accepting the existence of a deity with no evidence, even though said deity is the one who gave m the power to reason. Yeah, what a "loving" god.

So a God that is all loving and compassionate would damn me to hell not for being a bad person, but because of what I believed? Why? If I had a reason to believe in Jesus, I would. According to the Bible, God loves wisdom. So He'd save me if I did something I found to be unreasonable?

I have considered that "gift," and though I accepted it at one point in time, I soundly reject it now. There are hundreds, albeit thousands, of religions in the world, and why any one of them would claim to be the only way is beyond me. I haven't forfeited my soul to the devil at all...if it exists at all, which is doubtful, I have simply kept it for myself and not sold it out for the vague promise of eternal life, which makes no sense in and of itself. And I don't belong to this imagined "adversary." I belong to nobody.
