Hi, I would like to tell you about Jesus Christ, the only way to God

[Kernel Sohcahtoa]

Romans 10:9 -- That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Romans 10:10 -- For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

So you see that you need to believe in your heart that God raised up Jesus from the dead, and you also need to confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is the Lord.

Hello JacquelineDeane55.  Thanks for sharing your insights on Christianity and welcome to AF: it is interesting to read one's view of the world through a Christian (religious) lens .  IMO, "getting the log out of one's eye" is one of my favorite Christian proverbs.

Out of curiosity, in your opinion, is it valid for any person of any particular way of thinking (belief system, philosophy, etc.) to peacefully educate others about the correctness of his or her truth (let's assume it's not hate-filled or violent)? In your opinion, is it possible that reality could be interpreted through multiple lenses; thus, enabling humanity to gain a more accurate understanding of reality which transcends any one particular way of thinking (religious, non-religious, or any one of the possible subsets of ways of thinking) ?  Thanks and welcome to AF.  Live long and prosper.

^^^ I used to be like that.

Then I began to recognize post and runs so as to not waste any intellectual effort on the thread.

Kernel, I love your extremely diplomatic polite nature!
But you are asking them to do what's right, use some common sense and be respectful of other people's views!

The exact opposite of what the bible teaches!
(But we're the bad guys, right?)

[Astreja]

Jacqueline, I reject your message absolutely, unconditionally and eternally.  I don't want anything to do with your planet-drowning, hell-creating imaginary fiend, and am not in the least bit interested in eternal life.

I do not consent to anyone dying in my place.  I reject the alleged sacrifice of Jesus.

You are not my friend.  I reject you as a possible acquaintance.  *My* friends don't preach, don't threaten people with eternal torture.

I predict that you shall never see heaven.  At the end of your life, you will simply lose consciousness.  In that moment you will lose everything -- Your thoughts, your memories, your personality, and your faith.

In the meantime, may you have recurring nightmares of your most dearly-loved friends and family members screaming in agony as your god sits impassively on the Great White Throne, ignoring your pleas for mercy --

-- and when you come to your senses and stop worshipping your torturer-god, may the nightmares cease as you discover the joy of an authentic life uncontaminated by gruesome mythology.

I read it to myself with a Kiwi accent, and I must say that I found much Comfort in those words.

Hi guys.

I don't know where to post this, but the Lord has been laying it on my heart for the past few days to tell people about Jesus. This burden is so strong that I have felt sick and very desperate to reach out to others and tell them about Jesus. I asked my Pastor if there were any ministries I could do through my church to serve God, but all he said to me was that if there was anything, he'd let me know. God has been driving me to serve Him so bad that I don't think I can wait much longer for an answer from my Pastor, I am desperate here and I don't think he understands just how urgent it is to witness to the lost. People are dying and going to Hell. That is no laughing matter.

So I am going to write a post and witness to the lost on here...

Dear person much loved by the Lord,

Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners like you and me. Have you ever thought about what happens after you die? I have. It has brought me much anxiety thinking about it, because I know that this life does not last forever and one day, we all will die.

A lot of people today do not think about where they will spend eternity, and this thinking is a big mistake.

But what happens after death? The Bible is the only book that can tell us what happens to us after we die. God Himself wrote this great book; it is probably the most important book that was ever written.

Do you mind if I quote some Scriptures? Some people get offended when I quote the Bible, but I never do. Do you know why? Because I am a Christian and I believe that Jesus is my Saviour. The Bible says so. And with that being said, I will give you some Bible verses to help you and educate you.

So what happens after we die? The Bible teaches that man is a tripart being composed of spirit, soul, and a fleshly body. At death, our souls separate from our body and goes back to God to be judged by Him. God will judge everything we do in the body, whether good or bad.

But here is the bad news. You see, nobody is truly a good person. You see, only God is truly good.

Have you ever told a lie? Have you ever stolen anything? Have you ever hated anyone? If you have, then you have sinned. Killing others is also a sin, and yet you hear every day on the news that someone has murdered somebody else. Why? Because mankind are sinners and on their way to a burning Hell.

Romans 3:23 -- For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Now that you know that no one is good in God's eyes, how do we then become good? How do we become vindicated before God? The Bible teaches that we need to have Jesus' righteousness but the only way to do that is to come to Him by faith:

Romans 10:9 -- That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Romans 10:10 -- For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

So you see that you need to believe in your heart that God raised up Jesus from the dead, and you also need to confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is the Lord.

If you die without Christ, you will spend eternity in Hell. In our modern world today, people think that Hell is a place of never-ending parties and good times. They think that all of their friends will be there. But that is far from the truth. You would think that these people have never read the Bible, or that they have never taken it seriously.

The Bible teaches that Hell is a place of never-ending fire and torment, and my dear friend, that is not very much fun (this truth has scared a lot of people). It is a place of tears and no hope. It is darkness and loneliness. You won't be able to see anyone at all. It is eternal separation from God Himself. Since God is the Source of Joy and Happiness, that means that everything apart from Him is tears, sorrow, and no happiness. And that does not sound like very much fun at all, doesn't it?

So my dear friend, for your own eternal safety, I pray that you will accept Jesus Christ into your heart today, and make Him Lord over your life.

If you have done this, you need to find a Bible-believing church where you can grow in God's Word. And you also need to find out what God wants you to do with your life, so that you may serve Him.

Blessings,
Jacqueline

Hi Jackie, we don't gather here to make your preaching easier. Rather than taking the easy way out and posting on an online forum, perhaps you could put your money where your mouth is and go out and live the preachments of your god?

I've already heard all the stuff you're saying here, but what I have yet to see is many Christians actually working their faith in the real world.

Perhaps rather than posting on a forum to garner your brownie points, you should, maybe, you know, go out and help the poor? Work in a food pantry. Do volunteer work -- I dunno, helping homeless folk feed themselves, or raising money for a battered-women's shelter.

Maybe rather than telling everyone else what they should espouse, you should try living the faith that you preach. Lead by example.

PROTIP: you cannot do that online.

The Bible is the only book that can tell us what happens to us after we die.

Who ever told you that is a LIAR! There are other books even before the Bible, like Egyptian "The Book of the Dead" which also has code of conduct man must do certain things and avoid others ; if he does not, the gods will punish him severely. Moral sentiment attains the Christian level, without the impracticable exaggerations of Christ's teaching. It also describes judgment hall of Osiris in which dead man makes his protestations or "confessions" before the judge in which you can see whole code of Christian morals in a book which goes back to the dawn of civilization.
"I have come to thee, O my Lord, and I have brought myself hither that I may behold thy beauties I have not oppressed the members of my family; I have not wrought evil in the place of right and truth. I have had no knowledge of worthless men. I have not wrought evil. I have made no man suffer hunger. I have made no one weep. I have committed no murder. I have not given the order for murder to be done for me. I have not committed fornication... SEE MORE

our souls separate from our body and goes back to God to be judged by Him.

But Paul says in 1 Corinthians 6:2 that the saints shall judge the world and not the god. I mean if you read the Bible how could you miss that?

You see, nobody is truly a good person. You see, only God is truly good.

Again this proves you're fake because you don't know the Bible since Genensis 6:9, says "Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations." Job 1:1 and Job 1:8 say Job was perfect. So there you go, there are perfect humans. You have been lied again.

Bible teaches that we need to have Jesus' righteousness but the only way to do that is to come to Him by faith

Oh no! There goes billion people in India down the hell hole for believing in cows.

Bible is not clear on this. JacquelineDeane55 is talking about Paul and Paul's Jesus was very different Jesus then one in the gospels because Jesus did not look upon faith as the crucial factor. When asked by a man in Matthew 19:16-18 what he had to do to obtain eternal life, Jesus stated quite clearly that one should adhere to the Ten Commandments. For Jesus, salvation was based on works. The performance of good deeds was the primary obligation of all true believers.

So you see that you need to believe in your heart that God raised up Jesus from the dead

But if God and Jesus are the same how could god raise him from the dead when god was dead?

Since God is the Source of Joy and Happiness

Not according to god himself for he claims he is source of evil
Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things..
Lamentations 3:38 Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil and good?

[GUBU]

Oh my, how deep!

Oh wait, I already had that struggle when I dumped Christianity. Too late.

But could you truly reject Zod?

He can look into your heart with his x-ray vision (and burn it out if he doesn't like what he sees).

Never! I am Snowflame and Cocaine is my god! Snowflame!

If you thought you could come here and simply make a sales pitch you came to the wrong place. We are not lost puppies for you to save. 

First off, there are no such things as magic babies with super powers born without a second set of DNA. Secondly, humans  do not have all the blood drained out of their body, suffer complete organ death and cellular death and brain death only to survive rigor mortis. 

That book is nothing but an old book of myth written by scientifically ignorant humans. I am sorry you fell for it and sorry that someone sold it to you. It was understandable back then when it was written that people fell for it, but we have much better data now as to the nature of reality.
