1. God Loves [b]You![/b]
The Bible says, "God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life"
The problem is that . . .
2. All of us have done, said or thought things that are [b]wrong.[/b] This is called [b]sin[/b], and our sins have [b]separated[/b] us from God.
The Bible says “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” God is perfect and holy, and our sins separate us from God forever. The Bible says “The wages of sin is death.”
The good news is that, about 2,000 years ago...
3. God sent His [b]only Son[/b] Jesus Christ to die for [b]our sins.[/b]
Jesus is the Son of God. He lived a sinless life and then died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins. “God demonstrates His own love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.”
Jesus rose from the dead and now He lives in heaven with God His Father. He offers us the gift of eternal life -- of living forever with Him in heaven if we accept Him as our Lord and Savior. Jesus said "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except by Me."
God reaches out in love to you and wants you to be His child. "As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe on His name." You can choose to ask Jesus Christ to forgive your sins and come in to your life as your Lord and Savior.
4. If you want to [b]accept Christ as your Savior[/b] and turn from your sins, you can ask Him to be your Savior and Lord by praying a prayer like this:
"Lord Jesus, I believe you are the Son of God. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. Please forgive my sins and give me the gift of eternal life. I ask you in to my life and heart to be my Lord and Savior. I want to serve you always."

Edited by LegendaryWarlock: 4/15/2013 4:09:28 PMI'm going to copy/paste this comment I just posted except as a separate comment rather than a reply so more people can see it. I will not tell you what religion I believe in because if you don't agree with it, that will discredit what I am going to say, at least in your mind. [quote]Actually science supports intelligent design. /The More You Know/ Don't believe me? One word. Symbiosis. Still don't? Read any physiology textbook. It's a helluva lot more likely that we were, in fact, created by something superior to ourselves. What you choose to believe created us is entirely up to you, however.[/quote]

Hahaha as a joke, let's cooperate on getting this thread to 666 replies and then stop posting

I wish most Christians were as loving and compassionate as the person they worship.

It takes courage to do this, but I still don't think it's the best way or place to communicate something this significant. However, I do wish people would be a little more understanding. The internet is littered with opinions and beliefs, and as fellow humans we need to do a better job about respecting that. If that means not looking at a thread that you know you disagree with, fine. If that means challenging his thoughts (in a respectful manner), that's fine too. But trolling a guy because he wants to share something that's important to him? Come on people...

No he doesn't because he doesn't exist and neither does God.
-
Why are we giving this potential troll attention? Im sick of all the religious threads and idiots from all sides arguing.
-
Atheists are the most easily trolled group of people.
-
I don't believe Jesus is God or the son of God or divine in any way but as a Muslim I do love and respect him.

How has this got so many replies? I will never know..l
-
I [b]like[/b] giving random [i]words[/i] [u]emphasis[/u] too!
-
As a Christian: Will all of you theists stop being so -blam!-ing preachy?
-
When atheism threads get hidden, it's "Theists can't handle discussion" etc. Ironic.
-
How come this thread has been hidden? It's not against the rules to be stupid...
-
How do we know god exists? Because its written in the Bible. How do we know the Bible is accurate? God said it was. Seems legit.
-
I love you too Jesus baby!
-
Jesus loves you too OP

[quote]1. God Loves [b]You![/b] [/quote] So God loves me, but wants me to spend an eternity in hell just because I don't worship him? Seems legit.
-
The -blam!- is this

Five hundred and eleven replies. Marvellous.

[quote]"God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life"[/quote]So if I don't worship some guy who hasn't provided any proof of his existence will condemn me to eternal hell? "God" seems like a dick.
