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

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

Welcome, kind of.

You're welcome to discuss your religion here but not to proselytise to us.

Whatever arguments you have to make about your religion and how it's the "only true faith", "the only way to god", or whatever, I guarantee you that we've heard it all before.

And, if you're going to quote verses at us, you'd be better off quoting from Terry Pratchett. At least that's entertaining fantasy.

I'd imagine that your pastor simply recognizes that your evangelism game sucks; In which case, he's just being pragmatic.

Try not to take it personally?

Welcome


and I note, and I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP, if YOU read your Bible carefully, YOU will discover Jesus was crucified on THURSDAY, and AGAIN on Friday.


That's how much He loves you, he was nailed up TWICE !!!


PRAISE PRAISE JESUS JESUS !!!!!
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

A lot of atheists around here know the stories of Jesus and all that, but just don't really believe it. I'm not saying don't preach, but also don't expect people to be ignorant of what christianity is.

We have thought about what happens when we die. We've come to our own conclusions about it. We all come to accept death in our own ways. Some of us just want to think we'll somehow live on after death, and have a positive existence if we join the right group of people. The bible makes a claim about what happens after we die, and it's far from the only book to make such a claim. Nothing has ever proven there is any sort of existence after death, though.

You can quote scripture all you want. Atheists rarely take it seriously, because most of it can't be backed up by concrete evidence.

Claiming that your god is good is a common and bold claim. Unfortunately there are more reasons to think he isn't, than there are to think he is, if he even exists at all. Which he likely doesn't.

Yes, we've all done things that most people disapprove of. We usually agree killing is wrong but god kills a lot of people. You may say that all those deaths were justified, but that's where we run into a problem. Normally when we say a killing is justified, it's because there was no other practical option left. We lack the power or opportunity to do something else that will work better, but your god has no such excuse. As an omnipotent being, he should have had other options that didn't require death. I'd say that since I've managed to solve all my problems without killing people, I've done a better job than your god.

Not to mention that claiming thoughts are as bad as actions glosses over the fact that we can't control every random thought that enters our head. If god punishes us for that, then he's either ignorant about how Human brains work, or he's being immoral.

If you are one of those people that thinks hell is really a place of never ending fire, then I'd have to say you're one of the worst kinds of christians. Maybe the bible does teach this, but that just goes to show how depraved the god of the bible is. You now have a dilemma where someone can be what almost anyone on earth would think of as good, being a constructive member of the community, helping the downtrodden, fighting for equal rights, and whatnot, but ending up burning for eternity because they didn't join the right club. On the other hand one of the worst Humans in the world could get into heaven by saying the right prayer on their deathbed.

There's a lot to think about in regards to religion, and what the holy books tell us. Most people just don't buy into it anymore.

How convenient.  This isn't in the Intro Forum.

TL;DR

Picked up on the smarmy, self-righteous tone right away and tuned out. What are we supposed to do, congratulate you on how self satisfied you are?

Well, this should be fun.

I'm suspecting yet another hit and run poster.

"I'll go to an atheist forum and tell them about (insert name of mythical being here). They've likely never heard the stories before and I guarantee I'll get a few converts!"
