What is "FAITH"

[Godscreated]

Let me put it this way, you believe what you wish, it's your choice. I will believe what I will, it's my choice, and we'll see who lives with God for eternity, that way you can argue with God about this matter of why you were wrong.

Wrong again. You do not choose what you believe. That is impossible.

I understand why a closed minded person like yourself would believe you can not make simple choices, that in your mind absolves you of sin. For me however I can make choices and do daily, I feel sorry for a person who lives life without hope, hope you see comes from choice.

I did not choose to be an atheist, it came around as a result of the evidence. I did not think: 'hmmm, this is how I choose to interpret the evidence' Its just how I think and you cannot change how you think. Indeed, I have heard atheists honestly say that they want to believe in God, but they just can't.

I've heard atheist say the same thing, excuse me for not believing them. If you believe life just leads you around by the nose then why try, run and hide before it brings bad things your way, cower behind the boulders with your head between your knees. Don't look up life may be hanging over your head with something bad you can not refuse, good luck with that idea of life.

I'm not sure about you but many Christians don't actually choose at all. Their parents are Christians therefore they teach the bible and christianity as truth. Therefore the children believe them.

So believing is not a choice, children are taught about Christ and Christian parents know their children have to make their own choice if they are to be saved. Most children grow out of Santa Clause before they become Christians, they know how to rationalize, sorry but you just do not get it.

Another example (although different in concept) of absence of choice in beliefs. Why not wait until the child is old enough to think about these things and see which religion they would choose (if any) when they have more of a perspective on the world? (rehtorical question)

Responsible Christian parents allow their children to decide when the Holy Spirit calls, which by the way only the person being called knows it, so the parents have to trust their children on this matter. True answer.

@ Esqulax, you believe what you wish, you've been presented the Gospel of Christ, what you do with it is your choice and yours alone, consider carefully your eternity is not reversible.
I'm tired of your childish ways, responding to you i like talking to a post, I'm doing as Jesus said, dusting off my feet and leaving you with yourself.
