Absolutely Confused.

[GIBLE_]

Hey there, My names Greg. What Up?
Absolutely love "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty."
Guess what, I'm not Christian.
But I have come here with a few questions, not meaning to be trollish or anything like that.
1. What is it that makes you so sure that your religion is the only correct religion?
2. If others are to respect your opinion on religion, should you not respect their beliefs in other gods?
3. The Satan paradox: Satan punishes sinners while God creates them. Doe this reverse their roles?

Again, I am not here to hate or to troll, just wanted to find a few things out. Cheers!

I am not a True Christian™, but they seem to be busy right now, so...

...1. What is it that makes you so sure that your religion is the only correct religion?...

The Bible says so.

...2. If others are to respect your opinion on religion, should you not respect their beliefs in other gods?...

The Bible says no.

...3. The Satan paradox: Satan punishes sinners while God creates them. Doe this reverse their roles?...

From what I know of the subject, it is not a paradox at all. Satan's role is to tempt people to sin and get condemned to Hell, not to punish people when they get there. That's God's job.

Satan will be burning down there with the rest of us.

I've been "getting it" since before you were born.

Dear Heathen;

This is called the INTRODUCTIONS section of the forum for a reason. Please tell us about yourself, your church, and how you came to find Jesus.

And if you're here to flame us, better take a look at THIS before making an even bigger ass out of yourself.

YIC,

Thank you for taking the words out of my mouth. It probably would have sounded rude if I had said it.

Re: Absolutely Confused.

1. What is it that makes you so sure that your religion is the only correct religion?

I have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit guides my thoughts, words, and deeds. Furthermore, God left us an instruction manual (the Holy Bible, King James Authorized Version (c) 1611) by which to live our lives if we are to overcome our innate worthlessness, be forgiven of our sins, and join Him in Heaven for all eternity instead of burning in the lake of fire with satan and unrepentant sinners.

How do we know His Word is true? We have His assurance, and if you have the Holy Spirit dwelling within you as It dwells within me, you have confirmation.

II Timothy 3:16
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

2. If others are to respect your opinion on religion, should you not respect their beliefs in other gods?

It doesn't matter if hellbound sinners respect our righteousness. Indeed, we are blessed by their persecution.

Luke 6:22
Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.

Matthew 5:10-11
Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

God tells us to have no fellowship with the unsaved, but rather to reprove their false doctrines and to rebuke them for their wickedness.

Ephesians 5:11
And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

II Timothy 4:2-5
Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

3. The Satan paradox: Satan punishes sinners while God creates them. Doe this reverse their roles?

There is no paradox. There is only your ignorance of Scripture. Satan will be tormented alongside unrepentant sinners for all eternity when they are cast into God's lake of fire.

Revelation 20:7-15
And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Re: Absolutely Confused.

Lord give me the strength to suffer fools. The "Heathens for dummies" book your quoting from are all answered in the manual, Jesus's manual called the King James Version of the Bible. So RTFM Greg, get on board and stop whining like a mexican without a green card.
