The Reasons why "Just Following Jesus" Doesn't work

Nobody deserves to burn in Hell, especially at the beck of a cosmic despot who created them knowing in advance what would happen. If you think so, you love no one, and if your Gaud thinks so, he doesn't love anyone, either.


Quote:You have yet to explain what reality is but you say you believe in it.


Reality is the state of things as they actually exist, rather than how they might seem or be imagined. Following from that, truth is that which  comports with reality.


Quote:God is reality because there is no lie in Him. He is the truth from Him come everything and you can't even understand anything without him. You can't even understand the bible without him. I don't doubt that you were sincere about your religion and your faith, but you didn't have faith in God because once you are with God it is impossible to leave.


Bullshit. I had faith in the same god you do. Now I don't because I've realized there's no reason to believe anything on faith, and there's no other reason to believe in any gods. You can claim the contrary all you want, but I know better, and so do most of the people here, and that's why you sound like such an ignorant twat when you continue to brazenly insist that our faith wasn't real or that it wasn't really faith in god. Yes, it was, to the same extent that yours is. Your Bible, your pastor, and your flapping mouth can insist otherwise all they want; they're just wrong.

You have created a false god to deem evil. You don't even understand what evil is and have a skewed view of the world and how evil people. I say this because your statement is naive there are people out there doing evil every day and you are blind to the evil inside your own heart.  You have too high of a view of people and too low of a view of God. 

Thank you for you definition of reality. 

If you had faith in the same God that I do then you would still have faith in Him because He isn't the kind of God that will lose His people. That is why I know it is impossible for you to have had the same faith as I do. You keep explaining your idea of God, and it shows me that you never believed in God. No one who knows Him like I do would ever call Him evil. If you believe like I do you would enjoy Him and find comfort in His word. It would be enjoyable to be in His presence and you would be happy for the day you die because you would be with Him. You would pray to know Him more and you would not want to do anything that would hurt Him because you loved Him. Your would seek to spend your life for Him not out of duty but because He is worth it. You would see people walking down the street wish that they would understand the beauty of God. You would enjoy being able to speak about His goodness and enjoy the presence of God when He gives you the power to do so.  So if you believed like I do you would still believe and be growing in faith and joy. You would long to stare at God and see how beautiful He is and be amazed at His faithfulness. You don't though so it isn't the same. You talk about christianity like it was a job to you and a list of dos and don'ts. You hate the very thought of God and that I would talk to you about Him. You keep giving me your resume of christian works as if that proves something about you faith in God.  You speak more about what you achieved in christianity than your love for God. It isn't the same.
