Do we have any Atheists or Agnostics here?

[Theismann]

According to the bible, it is my understanding that God is no respecter of persons. Makes no difference who you are...ruler of an earthly kingdom, MLB home run king or Cincinnati attorney. It also makes no difference what you've done...recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize or risked your life in a burning building to rescue a basket full of babies. Makes not one bit of difference. It is a non-factor. The bible says, "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God."

According to scripture, the issue is sin. God hates it.

I truly believe the Hebrews had it right...THE ISSUE IS SIN IN THE SIGHT OF A HOLY GOD.

If God hates sin and is no respecter of persons, then it only stands to reason we are all deserving of hell and there is nothing anyone can do or say to rectify the situation.

As much as God hates sin, He still loves the sinner and it is His will than none should perish.

I think this is the reason for the most popular verse in the bible....John 3:16 ~

" For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

According to the above verse, God offers mankind a solution to his terrifying predicament....."he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him...."

This is God's means of salvation.

His Son.

Jesus Christ The Righteous.

So I want to go to heaven when I die. Heaven is God's home.

But there's a problem. God has a standard.

He doesn't allow just anyone to enter His home just as I won't allow just anyone to enter mine.

Evidently, there is a condition....

God wants to know one thing and one thing only...have you accepted His son as your redeemer?

Jesus is the means of salvation. Accepting Jesus as one's Lord and Savior is the only means of entrance into heaven.

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.

Living a good life won't get us into heaven. We can never be good enough. We need the imputed righteousness of one who lived a spotless, sinless life...

Blessed be the name of Jesus.

Buddy you need to come over to the madjack sports bar :mj06:

I HAVE NO IDEA HOW YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE- IF YOUR ASKING ME IF MY GOD LOVES ME AND CARES AND WATCHES OVER mE AND MY FAMILY- THE ANSWER IS YES-

IM GLAD YOU CARE

Thunder I have zero problem with your faith.

My question is, how do you know God is watching over you? What if its someone elses god doing all this work and you are giving credit to the wrong god?

What if it is NOBODY watching over you?

Buddy best wishes to you but wow.

There is such a fine line between being religious and just being brainwashed.

 

[shawn555]

As a Christian, I believe the bible is the divinely inspired word of God. As part of my faith, I believe every single word of what is written in scripture. This includes all the fantastical type tales....Talking snake, Parting of The Red Sea, Noah's Ark, Jonah and the whale, Sodom and Gomorrah, the talking donkey, all of the miracles of Jesus, etc. Truth be told, if the bible said that Jonah swallowed the whale, I'd believe that also. As long as it's part of the bible, I believe it with my whole heart and my little peanut brain.
I go to church three times a week and read the bible as often as I can. I expect to be called a bible thumper. Just as I expect to be called a Jesus Freak. I also expect to be told I have faith and go to church because I need a crutch. For the first two comments, I just nod my head, smile and shrug my shoulders. For the third, I offer a correction. I usually say that I go to church and believe in Jesus Christ because I have a need and an appreciation of a living Savior.
I believe Jesus Christ gave his life as a willng sacrifice for my sins, was buried and was resurrected on the third day. But that's just me. I'm not as smart as most people. You are free to make your own choices. I believe God is real. I also believe Satan is real. Jesus, the Son of God, spoke of only two eternities, heaven and hell. I realize I have a free will and I've made my choice.

And with zero doubt you are wrong about that.

The bible is nothing more of a collection of untrue stories that have been passed on to teach lessons, not to be taken verbatim.

I am sure that at one point there was an incredible flood and it rained for many days, maybe not 40. I do have a problem with some old fuck building an ark and gathering all the animals of the earth and storing them on this ark.

 

[Trampled Underfoot]

by the way i assume you are referring to me - thanx for the kind words -how did you know i have a masters in international business (LATIN BIAS) fluent in 2 languages - KIND OF NUTS- MULTIPLE BIZ's ALL OPEN MORE THAN 13 YEARS. but hey what do i know

If you have a Masters degree, it would be the online variety. You can't even communicate in English and you want us to believe you have a Masters degree in business. Give me a break.

 

[Trampled Underfoot]

Oh fuck.......buddy was serious:facepalm:

I'm not even responding to his garbage. He is a lost cause.

Animals? Yeah... wasn't it one pair of EVERY species on the earth? That must have been one GOD DAMN BIG ark!

 

[PaSprint]

Here's one for you. According to the bible, all living creatures were created by God?
Well i have to say... a friend of mine has a Poogle (its a dog for those that aren't familiar) I have no facts on how long this species of dog has been in existence, but I'm thinking it was created when the neighbor guy left his poodle out to take a piss and the stray beagle lurking in the backyard fucked the shit out of it. :0008

internet wasnt around back then-not going to get into this but if you want to push better make it worth my time-

 

[shawn555]

Yeah its a story used to teach a lesson.

The lesson the person who created you, will fucking wipe you from the earth if you do not follow him and do what he wants.

Now could this all knowing being just created a better group of people then assholes like us.

Also why does he always need money? Can he just create more money or just do away with the money system. We are his children or whatever nonsense, I am not really impressed. This is the best he could do?

Look at the history of people on this planet, full of dickheads, muderers rapists and mormons. Not really a good job oh great creator.

 

[Trampled Underfoot]

I don't really care. The point is that you can't form sentences and often use the wrong form of many different words and phrases. So no I don't believe you at all. But on the other hand I don't care or give a shit.

 

[Trampled Underfoot]

I don't care what anyone believes. I just laugh at all the hypocrisies when it comes to religion. You have people who practice selective faith. They pick and choose what they want. Then you have the people who think they can do what they want as long as they go to church and confess their sins.

ISNT THAT THERE RIGHT-MAYBE THESE PEOPLE LOOK AT DIFFERTLY THAN YOU- -WHO ARE YOU TO DECIDE WHAT SOMEONE BELIEVES- I MEAN LIKE YOU SAID YOU REALLY DONT CARE
