This is a waste of my time. You know the truth. Even though I spend my time crying in pain. I still believe. When I get home from school or any other place I take off my mask and break down. My friends think I am always happy but my best friend knows the real me. The point is that even though I am in pain crying all the time I still have peace. That's why I prefer the Bible. It's the reason I prefer Jesus.
This is what you guys are debating about. Jace you need to find something better to do with your time. I am serious, don't you people better things to do with your time? I mean time is so precious and this is what you're wasting it on. You are adults, and you do realize that you're debating whether free will is an illusion? You shouldn't have to debate about this. As adults you should be able to comprehend this question about free will by yourselves.
Nice! I really mean it. You are are really good at what you do. I have to say debating is definitely your thing. But being a perfectionist is my thing. So it's not over yet. I don't like to lose and I never lose. Here is the deal, you are saying that religion makes my life better. You couldn't be more wrong. My life is this uncontrollably tornado that will never stop. My life is worse than it was in Haiti. Yes, I have a huge house, food, water, clothes, and shines on my feet. Inside I am painfully and slowly dying. Being a Christian didn't make my life better. The fact is more people who follow Jesus doesn't have a better life here on Earth. Pastors, missionaries, and anyone who goes out into a different country where you are not allow to preach the gospel are being killed. Being a Christian is something you feel. It's what gives people hope and peace. They know when they die they will go to heaven and have everlasting joy. This doesn't have to be personal. It just has to real. Haven't you ever wondered what it's like to be in so much pain and yet have so much peace? Haven't you ever wondered what life will be like when Jesus comes back? Haven't you ever wondered how those missionaries and pastors can go preach the gospel when they know they will die because of it? Where do you think your sole will go when you die? Where does your hope come from. Someone once told me that, short term pleasure equals long term consequences.
You can't say both. I mean think about the question here. It's either Jesus or evolution. I mean you can believe He made this world or you can believe in empirical science stuff. Which we all Know that empirical stuff is not true.
Almedude, maybe for you its not negative but something did happen and it affected you greatly and that's why you gave up. And when I said that I am talking to him and that's my proof. What I meant is that I am not suppose to be alive. I survived because of Jesus. And also just look around you everything he made is so beautiful.
Let's get one thing straight here. God is real. Period. You are far from the truth and I actually do have proof. I am talking to you, aren't I? that's my proof. And there is nothing empirical about the Bible. Tell me what happened in your life that was so bad? I know something happened in your life that was just awful and don't you dare lie to me. And how many times do I have to tell you that Jesus hated modern day religion. You can't win this, trust me. Jace that's my response for you.
When you accept Jesus he already knows what you are going to do. And once you accept him there is nothing you can do that He won't forgive and that will break your relationship with Him. But if you truly have Christ you will feel the guilt when you sin and you will ask for His forgiveness. All you have to do is have Jesus in your heart to make it to heaven. Nothing less or more, just accept His gift of forgiveness.
You have no idea what's happening. All of you are so blind. Look at the world around you. None of it is a theory. God made this world, we sinned and now the devil walks on the face of the earth. But God promises a day when that will be over for all who believes in him. Humans are cruel because they have a heart that's made of rock.
You just love to try and prove me wrong. Don't you? You say I prefer the Bible but I like to think of it as I prefer the truth. You prefer to believe the most difficult explanation. You prefer the explanation people took years to make up. But you know the truth. Why don't you believe? Why do you hate God? How can you hate God?
