Why It Is Not Too Late To Repent And Turn To Christ

[Godlesspanther]

The Jesus then seems to be between a lot of persons ears. But more importantly residing in millions and millions of people's hearts.

The question remains -- should I find that impressive? All you are doing is re-stating a claim for which there is no evidence. I understand that you believe this stuff dogmatically -- you will not question it no matter what.

That's your choice, but if you expect your message to be taken seriously by those outside your brainwash bubble, you are going to have to do better.

The members of Ramtha's School of Enlightenment believe that J Z Knight channels the spirit of the 20,000 year old warrior from the lost city of Atlantis and provides ancient wisdom to the cult members. Should I believe that to be literally true? Why or why not?

Do you, or do you not, realize that the reasons that I reject J Z Knight's preposterous claims are the exact same reasons that I reject your bullshit?

Seriously -- do you realize that? I suspect that your indoctrinated retain will be to try to make it sound as if there is something special about your steaming pile that makes it fundamentally different from Ramtha or Heaven's Gate, or Jonestown, or Scientology, etc., etc., etc. You will fail to present anything that makes your nonsense special because it is not.

The fact of the matter is that your cult and your idiotic doctrine are categorically the same as all the other bullshit cults out there.

So why should I take you seriously? Why should I see you as being honest? Why should I believe you?

You disappoint me, Rev. What is it? Can't manage to find an answer for the really tough questions? Not even a single trite platitude?

Or is it just that you think my heart is so hardened that I'm beyond redemption and am destined for hell?

I am sorry you have been hurt and disappointed. I admit, many Christians, including myself, have done a poor job of representing Christ. I have to offer you hope and love through Christ. He loves you deeply regardless of what you think of Him. I don't have all the answers to tough questions. I do not believe your heart is so hard that it is unreachable. Thank you for sharing. I appreciate at it and I will pray even though you might think that is an exercise in futility. I believe it is powerful and want to stand in the gap for my angry cloud friend.

You may not recall this, but I am a former Christian. I started the exercise of reading the bible from front cover to back. When I opened the book, I was a Christian, when I finally closed it, I was an apostate.

You're missing the thinly veiled point - your religion (or whatever you want to call it) has nothing to offer me that I need or desire. I wasted many years of the only life I'll ever have pursuing the empty promises of faith, and I'll waste no more of it on that particular pursuit.

Granted, but it does seem that you're managing to achieve that which you don't mean. Perhaps a change of approach is in order?

What change of approach do you suggest?

That's up to you, but clearly your present approach, that of turning every situation into a proselytising opportunity, isn't winning you many customers. If people are interpreting your posts as rude, maybe the problem - and its solution - lies closer to home.

Because my Lord is Risen from the grave. Over 500 hundred witnesses according the the Holy Writ.

There were thousands of witches and wizards that saw Harry win the quidditch match too.

So it's clear that you are a completely brainwashed member of a cult that has some very disturbing, irrational, hateful, anti-social beliefs.

Your response demonstrates that you are not sincere, you cannot be trusted to make rational decisions, you can't be taken seriously, and nobody should believe a single fucking word that you say.

500, eh? What are their names? Where is their testimony?

[Bob Kelso]

The -dare I say it?- slightly more intelligent version of you.

Listen, I'm not here to promote myself. God chose me and I am honored.

Oy vey... He chose you did he? Did he tell you this? Do me a favor, since you've obviously got a dialogue with the prat, let him know that skeptics like myself require evidence before we go believing in fantastical stories and supernatural sky-daddies.

He chose 12 wayward souls and did great things with them.

You guys might be brilliant intellectuals but that doesn't mean you are beyond God's reach. God loves all of you more than you can fathom. I feel love to for all atheist here including Minimalist.

Because my Lord is Risen from the grave. Over 500 hundred witnesses according the the Holy Writ.

Yes, yes, and several thousand warriors and spectators saw the resurrection of Kaminsod (The Crippled God) and his chaining of the Otataral Dragon and subsequent betrayal from the assassin god Cotillion, thus saving the Malazan world in Steven Erikson's Malazan Book of the Fallen Series is that proof that Kaminsod and the other fantastical creatures and places existed?

Until you get it into your head that the Bible has not been shown to be a reliable account, your presence in this conversation is pointless. Do you understand that (generally speaking), atheists do not find the Bible to be a reliable account, or do you not understand that? If you can't wrap your head around that concept, you should consider more schooling.
