Re: New here

33% of the worlds population are Christian, of which from looking of these forums many aren't considered True Christians, by that account you believe roughly 5 billion PEOPLE deserve to be murdered. Not punished. Murdered.

It ain't murder if God does it.

But seriously, the Holy Bible clearly states that most people who ever lived are going to end up in hellfire. I hope you make the choice not to join them.

“And the slain of the Lord shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried, they shall be dung upon the ground.” Jeremiah 25:33

Re: New here

You belittle yourself to such an extent because you were born a female? I don't even feel disgust. I feel only pity and confusion.

Oh please don't pity me!

I am happy only when I follow the will of God, and God willed that I should be born a woman and under the authority of my father and then under the authority of my True Christian™ husband.

For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. (Ephesians 5:23)

I believe that A God assesses your life and asks you fitting questions, such as the Ancient Egyptians believed when you died, God will ask you if you have found joy in your life and if you have brought joy to others. If you answer both questions truthfully the question will act as an aid into getting into Heaven.
I understand and can accept YOUR personal beliefs, I just wish you could accept other and other yours. The world would be infinitely better off that way.

Re: New here

I believe...blah blah blah...a bunch of hippie mumbo jumbo...

Who cares?

The reality is God doesn't owe us anything, not even life. When He graciously gives us that life, we have the choice to love Him or burn for eternity. You don't deserve the next breath of air you're going to take, so why do you think all you need to do is be a good person, make a positive contribution in the world in some way, find joy in life and share it with loved ones, support those who suffer and weep when you can? God doesn't care about that, He cares if you believe in His Son and if you have accepted Christ Jesus as your personal LORD and Savior.

I fail to see how you could look upon a God in such a way. You portray him as a heartless, emotionless... creature that should not be worthy of any form of worship. A person who would murder a fellow human simply because they do not share the same opinion is not a person worthy of an afterlife in heaven.

The ancient Egyptians are all burning in hell right now for worshiping false gods.

"Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds" -- 2 John 1:9-11

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Acts 4:10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. 11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. 12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

I can accept that you have your beliefs, I'm just here to understand them. I know I won't change ANY of them, baring in mind you've probably had them longer then I've been alive, I just hope you can accept that I have my own opinions about heaven, life and God.

Are you kidding?

God is not heartless and emotionless! His heart is so big He sent His SON to die for us! In OUR place!

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God
(Romans 3:23)

The wages of sin are death - eternal death - Hell for all of us, without question, without mercy. But because our God is a Loving God, He gave us a substitute so that we may be saved!

Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree
(Galatians 3:13)

I have to say, you have achieved pretty impressive feats in my opinion, in all honesty I didn't understand all of it not knowing much about Christianity but them seem commendable. I honestly do respect your beliefs and opinions, I just get slightly carried away on religious subjects as I've not had a great deal of opportunity to discuss them, sorry if I offended you I really. Religion just fascinates me.

On a side note, it says you started taking in a interest in Christianity at the age of 12, I believe your now 29, so that's 17 years of bible study and beliefs. I'm 17 years old, so I wasn't far off.

It means that I'm 5 years ahead of you when I was your age. Better get busy for Jesus.

You're very persuasive . But I feel I can't be persuaded on this matter, sorry if that means we can't 'get along'. I do think I'll keep visiting this forum though, to learn about Christianity. Religion really is one of my favorite subjects. All religions. Even false or untrue ones by your Bible.
Again, sorry If I offended you which I'm sure I did. But I'd imagine you've had worse here then a child ranting on and gotten used to it by now. No offense.

Your attempts to understand our beliefs (read: God's beliefs) are futile. You accept them, not understand them. (See Romans 11:33) Best to submit in fear to almighty God before it's too late. (See Luke 12:4-5)

You're a young man and must learn that your "own opinions about heaven, life and God" matter not a wink. God doesn't care at all. God is not in heaven saying: "let's make a deal." He is in heaven saying: "this is the deal!"

"In those days there was no King in Israel and everyone did what was right in his own eyes." (Judges 17:6)

When everyone comes to their own conclusions about life and spirituality, soon you have homosexuals boofing other men and sucking the stems of Eurotrash in public parks while recreationally lighting up joints afterwards.

God's way is better.

I didn't state that I understand them, quite the oppisite actually, I WANT to understand them. I'm literally just starting, it's been roughly 3 hours or so. Although I highly doubt I'll take them up as my own, does that disallow me from learning them?

You want to follow Jesus? Well, you're in the right place. Read the entire King James Bible and the topics in this Godly forum, and if you can force Satan back for long enough, you're bound to learn something that will (for once) not make baby Jesus cry. You might even be Saved™ if you really strive for righteousness.

And stop moping around the forums carrying on about being young and apologizing for everything. That sounds finnicky and homosexual. Instead, apologize to Jesus for having lived a life of doubt and wickedness, and for questioning his holy plan for your life. Bow in submission now. (See Philippians 4:8; Romans 14:11)

I will be praying for you.
