This is an understatement. I also hope that Elvis or Harry Carey will return as angels to show us the meaning of life (anyone listen to Bob and Tom on the radio?). I'm still waiting for Santa to bring me the present my parents said that he'd promised me that Summer when our house burned down and killed my lil brother Kenney! He promised me an AK so that I could hunt down the bastard that did that!!!
Check it out, guy. I've been on both sides as I was not raised a Christian. I've heard all the arguments before when I first started to delve into Christianity. I studied all the religions of the world and Christianity was the only one that answered all of life's questions. So there isn't anything new you guys have argued--I've heard 'em all....
Don't be fooled. God is not mocked by your vain gyrations trying to make it "your way". He has given you THE WAY. His name is Jesus. Jesus said in John 14:6, "I am the way..." God has given you His word. It is called The Holy Bible--King James 1611. You either accept it all and live in accordance with what it says or you will perish. This includes all the people that claim to be Christians and are not. They say, "I believe in Jesus". That ain't enough--the Bible says, "the devils believe and tremble". You must REPENT turning from your wicked ways and you must say "yes" to Jesus. "I tell you...except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." Luke 13:3 If you are in denial when you die, your pleas for mercy will not get you into heaven. Beggin' won't work. You will have rejected Jesus all your life and when it comes time to pay the piper (Satan) for your rebellion YOU WILL PAY. Jesus will cast you screamin', hollerin', and weepin' into your eternal home which is the lake of fire. If you do not enter by the door, God considers you His enemy-- John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the WRATH of God abideth on him.
People say, "Yours is a religion of fear." Well my friend, fear is a good thing and you exercise it everyday. Fear keeps you from stepping off of a cliff. Fear keeps you from sticking your hand on a burnin' hot stove top. Fear keeps you from running stoplights. Fear of failure or poverty makes you stay in school to get an education. These temporal fears keep you from temporal dangers. Do these fears hurt you? No, they help you and help the society you live in. The fear of the Lord does much more. It will keep you from the number one gravest danger--being thrown into the lake of fire to be tormented for all eternity. The fear of the Lord will also make you wise.
I fear people who blindly follow a book of mythology that preaches the stoning of non-believers. Have you stoned anyone to death Thunderbolt? I'm sure you have met non-believers personally, right? Did you do what your good book told you to do and stone them to death, or are you really just a hypocrite? peace axemn
hmmm, my predictions are really off these days I predict...ahhhh, 200, no wait people are getting tired of the same crap, so _ONLY_ 35 more pages... nitro
GASP!!!!!!!!! Oh my!!! Why are'nt you being a good little christian and following the bible? You may end up burning in a lake of fire with us atheists for showing such little faith. You better immediately run out and stone to death some non-believers. Dont want to get caught at the pearly gates trying to explain why you did so much "pick and choosing" of the good book.
