In some entries it looks like i am threatening people with hell. I am not i am just stating facts out of my book. If i didnt care i just wouldnt say anything at all. It really hurts me to see so many rejection God so fully when he loves you so much.

It does seem like you're trying to scare me into believing into God. The more you talk about God, the more I start not liking the idea of there being a God. And how you talk about him makes him seem like he's trying to make people fear him, and therefore obey.

If He loves us so much, why is He condemning us? If He gave us the power of free-will, why take that gift back? It's like me giving my brother a choice of two gifts, but my brother can only choose the one in my right.

Yeah, that's a really good point.
But it's like.. God is testing your faith. Like, let's say everyone's telling you to pick the present on your right because it has candy. But the present on your left is coal. Except you can't trust the people who are telling you to choose that present. God is trusting you to pick the right present. Funny that I'm explaining this, because I'm mostly an Athiest. |

God is a good God he is just meaning he is a God of justice. as much as he loves you, if you choose evil he must condem you to hell. he didnt take it back, you can choose to do what you want you choose what you want, paradise or the lake of fire.

As I said, how do you know which to choose? Only faith helps us. It's like He is condemning the people that were raised up with different religions. And you know how hard it is to change one's beliefs and opinions. |

QUOTE(sikdragon @ Aug 18 2004, 11:32 AM) he isnt he loves everyone. do you think he doesnt take that into consideration at judgement? But didn't the Bible state that who doesn't believe in God and Jesus are going to Hell? So say if I was raised to believe in God, Buddha (prophet), and Jesus, wouldn't I go to Hell because I believe in Buddha as a prophet and I believe in the teachings of Buddha? That's what I am asking. Also, what if a person was raised up to believe in the Hindu teachings? They don't believe in God, thus would they go to Hell because they were raised up that way? Does that Bible say that there are exceptions? Also, what if there is another religion that also says if you don't believe in their God(s) or some other universal being, that you would go to Hell. How do you choose from that? Too bad God can turn himself into a physical being and fly around and tell people to believe. |

You can't, you should be able to know inwardly what you truly believe in.

Our gift is also our curse. Basically if either you don't know about God or unsure of God, we are forever damned. God should give us a better chance. ![]() |

But that's incredibly unfair. If you don't know about God, you go to Hell anyway, just because? Isn't God a little bit wiser than that?

What is even worse is that you also have to acknowledge God's gift, Jesus Christ, for dying on the cross and saved us. I feel bad for everyone who doesn't have the internet to learn about this because God's followers didn't do their job. |

Here's an interesting website about Hell. Read http://www.av1611.org/hell.html
QUOTE NOTHING'S WORTH TAKING THE CHANCE!
It's simple to be saved ... * Realize you are a sinner. "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:" Romans 3:10 "... for there is no difference. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" Romans 3:23 * Realize you CAN NOT save yourself. "But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; ..." Isaiah 64:6 "Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, ..." Titus 3:5 * Realize that Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay for your sins. "Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, ..." 1 Peter 2:24 "... Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood," Revelation 1:5 * Simply by faith receive Jesus Christ as your personal Savior. "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:" John 1:12 " ...Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house."" Acts 16:30,31 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16 WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE SAVED? Pray this prayer, and mean it with all your heart. Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and unless you save me I am lost forever. I thank you for dying for me at Calvary. I come to you now, Lord the best way I know how, and ask you to save me. I now receive you as my Savior. In Jesus Christ Name, Amen. |

that is incredible unfair. i know plenty of people who dont have the internet who have heard from me. and u arent reading what i wrote. There are many common beliefs among the religions, but remember every acknowledgement of a higher power is God who is Jesus. if you dont live by the commandments and dont ask for forgiveness you will go to hell. the ten commandments are basic morality and are accepted in some form for many cultures. every person is different and will be judged according to their circumstances.
