A Word of Suggestion

[Revelation777]

who reject Jesus are like being in the middle of the ocean without a life jacket teeming with sharks. I keep trying to toss a rope out pleading to grab it, this is the only way, but you'll laugh, mock me, say I'm delusional, etc. I keep tossing the rope out because your still alive and unharmed thus far.

So maybe, and I'm just tossing this out here......you're actually standing at the edge of a public pool (not an ocean), where everyone is okay, getting along and having fun(you know..laughing, etc)....and there are no sharks(except the inflatable kind)?

Really step back...imagine that you're "that guy"........

Thank you for your response. If that be the case then obviously there is something wrong with me, perhaps even a chemical imbalance. However, the stark reality remains, your in dangerous seas and the sharks there make Jaws look like a guppy. Get in the Ark friends, grab the rope.

In defense of the rev, he is passionate!
His intentions are err... well intended.

It's no different to a man united fan on a man city forum telling them how good man united is!

The rev is undoubtedly a good spokesman for the good lord.
The rev just needs to acknowledge that "what if" he is wrong.
What if, it's just a story!

Rev, we're already good people! God isn't going to change that.
All it is in this life is a different way of looking at the world.
Just let us take our chances in peace.

I understand you are trying to save us from a fate you might perceive as dire, but what good reasons do you even have to believe that? You haven't stated any. You've just been preaching... that is not going to win over those that operate in a realm of reason. It also pisses a lot of us off.

If I was going to run screaming into my office that everyone should put on a life preserver because a massive flood is coming, my colleagues would want to know WHY I believe that... like show them news footage to support my claim, EVIDENCE of a kind.

You can't go around spouting dire tidings without providing evidence to support that claim. So many people have said this to you, but the preaching continues...

*sigh*

So you keep saying. Perhaps you really do believe it. I don't. It is getting tiresome to hear though.

If you want to live in a world of peers in a manner your Jesus would approve of, you really have got to try harder to take into consideration the decisions of others. You were born in this world. We were born here too. You seem to be suggesting that we should all cast aside our learning and the decisions we've made to accept your warning on your own authority. You haven't earned that. Worse, it is rude to suggest such a thing. Regardless of your hallucinations, you are either going to play politely with others, or you're not. If not, I'm done with you.

I don't want you to be done with me. There is more I must share with you.

You'd do better to attend to your own salvation. I get Jesus. He wouldn't approve of your conduct.

Rev, Aussies always stick up for an underdog!
Our nation is made up of hungry pommy outcasts who stole a loaf of bread.
Hardly fair, is it?
(Well, technically as I'm of Greek descent, it might have been a kilo of dodoni fetta, but let's not split hairs over food).

The point is you are succeeding! You will have attracted close to 100 replies to your cause before you've even started!
Everyone must be passionate to hear what you have on your mind!

We are all open minded, but bare assertion will get you nowhere, you need evidence.

And no, the bible is not evidence, it is the claim.
