Great; so now you've done that and got no customers, what next?
That's a good question Stimbo. One person claimed to believe but I think he was mocking me.

That is not something of which to be proud. What you are basically stating is that you would be a willing psychopathic murderer without a belief in God, or someone just as equally horrible.
You can be a worthy human being without a belief in God. You have simply deluded yourself into thinking otherwise.
No, when I read His Word and got convicted of my sin I realized I was not a good person at all. I also realized that I can't fellowship with God with being still being in my sin. I now have a relationship with Him because of Jesus removing the sin from me. My righteousness comes from Jesus, not anything about me. Grace.

I read these forums almost every day but I don't post often; I leave that for the smarter people. But I am so fed up with this ridiculous preacher I could scream. (Hear that? I just did!)
What does he think he's doing for Christ? Rev's not getting any customers here with his empty assertions and babble verses. All he's accomplishing is further convincing us that christians are the most gullible and stupid people on Earth.
In fact, sometimes I wonder if these inept apologists are not really christians at all. Could Revelation777 be a nonbeliever just purposely trying to make christians look silly (sillier)? How would we know?
Sorry you got upset. I am a real Christian. I don't want to drive you further from Christ. I am sharing what I believe and would like to be able to discuss this with others. I understand you don't believe or agree with it. Sorry if I made you scream.

Do you know what Abba means?

If it's any consolation, your posts are still probably ten times more rational than our resident theists (except JacobSmooth because he gets it). Secondly, it is a distinct possibility that this guy is exactly what you propose: a Poe. The unfortunate truth is that we will probably never know that for certain, so the best anyone can do with this guy Rev is to continue to ask him to back up his claims.
I am not a POE. I am a believer. I back up my claims with my life.

The truth.
I'm a better person than I was as a Christian.
Many people have taken the title of Christian but never experienced regeneration. If you were truly regenerated I doubt you would become an atheist. No offense.

Why? Why would you be 'wretched' without your imaginary friend?
Sin. It is a terrible terrible thing.
