If you asked Jesus to reveal himself to you if he were real, and he did , how do you lose in that deal?
Because if he responds and is real , hell and eternity are real too.
Why won't people make the simple challenge ? With so much at stake.

Those who say that they whole heartily ask Jesus to reveal Himself to them and then said He didn't, are a bunch of liars. Because if they really meant it, He would have.

Well here is the thing. If Jesus popped up and I saw that he was real, it would actually reinforce my beliefs in my own gods. Because hey, if Jesus is real, then so are mine. Prove otherwise.
I believe your god exists, I just don't belong to him. I don't believe in "one truth" I think it's the silliest thing I've ever heard. No one, ever, in the history of time has all ever agreed on ONE religion. It will never happen. So how on earth can there be only "one" truth? Hel even in some math there is more then one answer and that's a pretty absolute discipline. Why are you guys so damn hung up on your way or no way? And why on earth would I SELL MY SOUL to Christianity "just in case"?
Crappy arguement and most Christians I know would agree with me.
Guitar: You know NOTHING of how I asked your "god" to come to me. You know NOTHING of what I went through. Don't TELL me that I "wasn't sincere". You weren't there while I bled out. And niether was Jesus.

Nice attempt to use Pascal's Wager, but it's not a convincing argument. By the way, for your ignorant(ignorant means unknowing, it does not mean stupid) mind, here's a little piece of info. Jesus existed as a man, truly, he was alive, walking this Earth. It is God that I do not believe in, or Jesus being the son of God.
If God is supposed to be loving and caring, he would not judge a person based on belief in Him, but the morality of the person's actions. If he sends me to Hell just cuz I don't believe in Him, he's not much of a loving and caring God...

I've tried this in various mental and physical states ranging from in perfect health running a 7km race to sick in bed and from the heights of bliss and happiness to the deepest recesses of misery. Jesus has never appeared in any case. The most I ever had was a vague image in a dream, but that's understandable: my mind was very focused on the subject.

Well, Odin sent a raven down to my porch yesterday to prove he was real. Or was it to prove Edgar Allan Poe real?
As for the question: I asked and begged for years and got nothing from Christ. Gave it up for a bottle, then crawled out of that and found my true path.
btw: cheers! the threat of eternity in hell if we don't accept Christ! Everyone drink!

Because they would rather have sinful pleasures on earth and a second death in the lake of fire than earth be the worst they get and go to heaven. It's simple, they dont want to give up their sins or accept that Jesus is perfect.
Their sex with whores and homosexual lives are far more important to them at the moment.

I know Jesus was real, unfortunately he is dead and buried in Israel, and he has gone to the same place where we all will go one day, and that's the spiritual world, it's there that we create our next life experience on this planet.

Should we ask each and every god to prove themselves? Have you asked Barraiya to prove he really exists? Just in case.
What about those who HAVE made that challenge, and come to the conclusion Jesus ISN'T there?
Pascal's Wager *drink*

Well, Jesus is real and I do know. People who don't know do not know what they are missing - yet. It's sad, Jesus is so great and cool!

I asked him to deliver takeout chicken. He never showed up. There wasn't too much at stake, you can buy takeout chicken elsewhere.
