"for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of god"



there is no such thing as "too nice to go to hell". all we can do is whats right by god and beg for forgivness for our sins and hope that we will one day be rewarded.

This thread is a text book for rebuking heathens and saving souls. I am weeping tears of joy at the wonderful pastoral guidance and advice.

Our God is an awesome God and Landover is an awesome church!

Praise!

You can never know completely, knowledge is not faith. God judges your faith when you stand before him when your life has passed. True comprehensive knowledge would invalidate the significance of the human belief of God.

Re: "But I'm Too NICE To Go To Hell!"

That is YOUR belief, there are millions of different beliefs in this world.

And millions of different bliefs are incorrect. Even should we agree to consider th possibility that Christianiity could be false, you must agree that all the myriad contradictory theologies cannot stand in the face of the "truth".

Every person with a different belief, believes as faithfully in their belief as you beleive in yours. They believe, hard as iron, that they know the true God and what God expects of them. They believe hard as anything worldly that THEY possess the true knowledge of God and which religion is the true religion.

The strength of one's wrongness does not allocate credit to the initial flawed premise. Also, I would say it is an exerercize in innacuracy to suggest all people believe with the same degree of certainty. Some are stronger, some are weaker. As established before a majority of these people are wrong. All of these persona-centric theologies are simply too divergent to be accurate. There is one truth to the reality of our existence. (I suppose if one were so inclined they could try and pull something to the effect of "Maybe different religions are true to different people" but thuis would simply be an exercize in yet another relgious viewpoint to invalidate all others from)

Many are born in this religion, all their lives they are brought up NEVER EVER IN ANY WAY to question or even think twice about the belief their entire surroundings believe in.

First of all, with the interlinked nature of the modern world, there are few places today that deny people access to the information they need to turn to Jesus Christ. Second of all, anyone who never questions their religion has built their house apon the sand so to speak. If you have not placed your faith through the crucible of introspection, it's a distinct possibility you have a weak and fragile faith.

There are millions of different relgious beliefs in this planet, as every main religion possesses endless branches teaching teachings based on it, but that stray from the central belief.

The fact there are so many wrong beliefs does not make a lie any less harmful. The "if everyone jumped off a cliff argument" works well in this situation. One cannot divert personal responsability for religious innacuracy simply because that's what everyone else is doing these days. Everyone has an equal responsability to find the truth and attempt to understand it.

A shared opinion or perspective likewise does not validate the results. If I have a strawberry under a plate and you have a grape, if we both believe each other have grapes under our plates, one of us is right, and one of us is wrong as far as the reality of the situation is concerned. If I find their doctrine rediculous and they find mine rediculous, if mine is true, I am correct while simeltaneously allowing the other man to be wrong. (in the attempt to appear appear impartial in this precept, the revese could also be said true, as could an instance where we were both sure each other had an orange under their plates)

How can you even ever know YOU are following the right path?

Re: "But I'm Too NICE To Go To Hell!"

I am not nice at all.
If I as someone else and I knew me I would avoid me.
I generally dislike people , don't much care for pointless socialising.
I would rather hunt than chat away to a bunch of anybody.
I would rather work at my given job and mission than socialize
BUT...
I am saved.
I have embraced the Lord, and if it comes to it He is all the friend I need.
I have taken his words and his teaching into me,
I have bathed and been reborn in hs glorious and terrible light.
This, I feel I will probably go to heaven.
I will not say for certain I will,
as that might stumble into the realms of arrogance and pride.

Being nice is nothing to do with getting to heaven.
We will be judged on our works and our shortcomings,
not how often we flashed the pearly whites.

So all those nice as nice can be socializing and happy atheists and suchlike, well, don't get too smug.

Why would God punish all on the planet, but a handfull of his creations, simply because THEY "KNEW" what "HE WANTED FROM THEM". How can you even ever know YOU are following the right path? Please think of it before trying to use the scare tactic on people.

Have you ever read the Bible?

Somehow, I doubt it.

God states clearly that He is the only way to Heaven. All others are damned to eternal torture in the fiery pits of Hell.

Why do you spread your anti-Christian lies? Do you wish for more people to join you in the flames?

Friend,

Your reply makes no sense. I mean how can there not be a reason to believe, you desire to burn in Hell for all eternity?

Re: "But I'm Too NICE To Go To Hell!"

Bless you all for keeping this thread at the top of the list of topics. Because it's vitally important! A lot of people think that just because they're "nice" or have "good intentions" or try not to break God's rules, that they're going to heaven. How wrong they are, and people need to know that only by accepting Jesus as your personal savior, following God's law, and tithing generously to Landover Baptist Church can one go to heaven.

A case in point is my old neighbor. Lovely, charming Mrs. Anderson was a frail, pleasant, white-haired widow, a former elementary school teacher with the kindest heart one could imagine. She baked cookies for the children on their way home from school, and asked them what they learned that day. She volunteered at the community center to teach adults better reading skills, and worked as a volunteer librarian twice a month in the town's bookmobile. Even though she stood only about 5 feet tall and weighed about 80 pounds, she was full of energy and joy-- always smiling and especially good with children. I can still hear her warm and pleasant voice greeting the children saying hello to the mailman.

But in 1976 she voted for Jimmy Carter. And she rarely attended any church, let alone Landover Baptist. So when she died of resperatory inflammation at the age of 91 a few years ago, the mental image of Mrs. Anderson being continuously and forcefully gang-raped from behind by Satan and a tag-team of foul demons in hell has haunted me ever since.

Re: "But I'm Too NICE To Go To Hell!"

As I believe in the "god of my own imagination" I keep to my own belief.

If you recognize that you are making up a god to suit you, where is the point in worshipping it?

Obviously you realize that you are worshipping an idol of yourself. If your "god" is made-up, why waste energy on it?

[Ezekiel Bathfire]

Re: "But I'm Too NICE To Go To Hell!"

If you haven't got anything to post, don't.
I don't know what to believe, because there is no reason for me to believe.
Got any really questions?

Yes. You have been lead to this forum by Jesus - it was He Who made you click your mouse to travel to Landover - you did not come by chance. This is your opportunity to get to know God.

Direct your eyes not to the drugs, pornography, Gouda cheese and homosexual marriages of Holland but towards the Eternal City! Repent!

Now would you like to learn about Baby Jesus?

Re: "But I'm Too NICE To Go To Hell!"

I love it when people are able to make good observations and still keep to their own beliefs.
Now we are getting somewhere by the way!

As I believe in the "god of my own imagination" I keep to my own belief.
For me, believing in my own god, is truthful living a good life without sins.
Whilst for you people, it is by the Bible.
Which I can imagine very well, it does in fact make more sense to believe something other do so as well, and is also explained by other people.
I still prefer doing it my own way, as that seems to work fine.

We TRUE Christians™ are not into make belive friend. That is why we follow The Bible since it was written by God Himself* You start following your imagination and you believe in all kinds of silly stuff like the earth orbiting the sun or fish giving birth to people.

Re: "But I'm Too NICE To Go To Hell!"

Exactly, which is why He says He creates darkness, light, peace, and evil. ALL of the above.

The false god you seem to think we follow only creates things YOU believe to be "good", by YOUR definition.

This shows us that you worship a god of your own imagination. WE worship the God of the Bible.

Re: "But I'm Too NICE To Go To Hell!"

I hoped you looked a bit further than that, my friend.
As you seem like a intelligent man.
As I said "Your god is wicked and evil" whilst in fact there is ONE god.
What I meant is: I do not like your interpretation.

And though, perhaps off-topic, back to the goth thing :
There is for me difference between peace/evil and light/darkness.
Darkness is to me not evil, as is light not to me peace.

Re: "But I'm Too NICE To Go To Hell!"

God creates good AND evil. He says so in His Word:

Isaiah 45:7
I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

However, GOD determines what is good, and what is evil. Who are you to say He is wicked, when HE determines what is wicked?
