A psychotic atheist becomes a Christian.
I want you to watch this video. This guy has an amazing story to tell. After you watch it, ask yourself how anyone but God could make such a drastic change in someones life.
This is an example of the transforming power of the Holy Spirit. Modern medicine, and all the shrinks could not help this man. His only salvation was through Jesus Christ.
negligent is kindof retarded, has a learning problem, ADHD or something
Then you should ban yourself, since you brought up something that wasn't the topic of this debate either.
As long as the guy feels good about himself, great! I think it's a great thing when someone finds comfort in God. I'm hope he works hard and good things come to him.
You think you are justified to exist outside of Hell, and you are a friend of witches, you reject the resurrected Son of God from being your Savior, you think you can save yourself, you have been reached out to with the truth enough by me and I have no obligation to read your posts or to try to reach you any more.
It's you again? Didn't you read the post I addressed to you a few minutes ago? Maybe you need to read it again.....if you read it the first time which apparently you did not.
I'm not going to read your garbage, witch. You don't like what I am saying so why don't you quit reading it? I'm not responding to your posts, I find no reason or pleasure to read your posts, you are on your way to Hell and I can't help you, so why don't you just go try to prove me wrong as you insist you are so witchy right?
Try to justify your existence outside of Hell, try to tell yourself that you do not deserve dying. Until I see a change of attitude in you, I have no interest in reading your posts and I strongly doubt your attitude will ever change so it's unlikely I will notice if it does change.
Anybody who thinks witches are good people and Jesus Christ is not God and did not rise bodily from the dead is not a Christian and their witchy opinion of what it is to be a Christian is totally irrelevant you witchy woman.
I really would prefer that you stay away from me. You had no business butting your withcy self into my conversation. Go cast your witchy spells elsewhere, you can answer to God for telling people they are not sinners who deserve to burn in Hell like yourself. Yep, God is the judge and I'm glad I won't be in your witchy shoes on judgement day.
Why would I want to kill you? I may find you entertaining, I may roll my eyes at you quite often, I may even scoff, but you still have the right to your opinion. I wouldn't want to kill you just because I think you're loony.
That was one of the most powerful testimonies of the redemtive power of the Christian narrative that I have ever had the pleasure of hearing.I understand why he believes that these kind of awsome transformations only come through belief in these stories, and though I surely wouldn't want to disrupt anyones journey toward decency, sanity, and sincere concern for the well-being of anyone, I can personally testify that transformation similar to what he described can happen without buying in to that mythos.
Personal introspection in prison, and just generally not wanting to look back at the end of my life ashamed of the person I was.
the only thing you prove with this is your unintelligence.
I won't lose any sleep if you (or people on the internet) think of me as unintelligent. I am not ashamed of who I am despite your efforts
have you searched anything to prove the bible especially new testament is a myth?
And anything i don't mean the bullshit the illiterate richard dawkins spews about christianity.
Archaelogical and historical facts outside the bible.
I start with the assumption that historical accounts in general are subject to human error, but historical veracity isnt necessary for stories to inspire people. Please understand by "mythos" I dont mean "false story".

i like the way you run.

You maybe or not what you prove.

hmmmm errors?...you haven't even seen one proof yet....
I think the power of belief is capable of transforming anyone if they truly embrace it but I wouldn't reduce what transformed this man to what he believes to be a better life as "buying in to that mythos" simply because you don't believe in it. The main point you made was very clear and nice though. As long as someone is a decent person and can see past themselves to care for others, it doesn't really matter what they need or want to believe in.
You have not changed, you still try to justify yourself, you still try to convince yourself and others that you do not deserve dying and you till try to convince yourself that you are exonerated in death. You are dying for your own sins and if you are not saved by God the Savior you will have his caked blood under your feet and get what you deserve, eternal dying which is all you have and it's leading you to Hell where you won't be wearing that stupid smirk on your face.
You are the same sinner you always were, you are full of yourself and that is nothing but dying.
Maybe I should hide my face and name in shame and fear like you? Or try badmouthing people for Christ? We could start a group called "Cowards for Christ" lol
Maybe you should admit you are a sinner who does not deserve to live and seek God's mercy which He provided for by giving Himself as payment for your sins so you can be covered by His blood and not have to pay in the fire of Hell.
Maybe you love your sin more than life and are unjustly too proud to admit you deserve to burn in Hell forever.
Maybe you will wake up in Hell before you read these words.
Maybe you will come to your senses and get saved and take sides with God against the perversion you crave in your evil ways.
Since I don't have time to read much of anything you say, I'm guessing you are just to proud to admit you do not deserve to live; too proud to admit you deserve to die and burn in Hell in opposition to God's goodness...you think you are better, smarter, stronger than God and God thinks you are a fool and I agree with God as long as you continue being a fool. You could wise up and agree with God as to your need of His mercy but I doubt that you will so there is not much point in reading your comments.
I'm just telling you the truth........you feel you are being badmouthed because you are trying to justify your sin...even though it is taking you down in death and cannot be justified.
You need a wake up call, there is no telling how much time is left for you so I told you the truth as forcefully as I could....but since you have heard it, now maybe I can soft pedal a little with you. I hope you enjoy the video I posted just for you, as you enjoyed the first one.
You do deserve some credit, and I should have said it first thing when I started responding to you here....you are one of the very few people on this site who actually had the mental capacity to watch the video. It's a shame most people can't bear to watch it due to the fact that they know it is going to point to God the Savior Jesus Christ. The narrative and the cinematography in the video are both superb; yet most people are so closed minded they can't bear to listen to it.
You missed the main point of the video, but that is okay...you're not ready for it and maybe never will be.
But I can say this...anybody who can watch and listen to this video must have some brains. The explanation of experienced philosophic practice and inquiry is above most of the mental midgets here.
I watched the subject video of this debate two or three times because I enjoy the flow of the narrative and the eloquent philosophical constructs......so just for you, here is another one you will probably enjoy, which I also have watched maybe three times and will watch it again. There are not many people who can introduce me to new lines of philosophy but this guy is one of them.
(YOU HAVE TO WATCH THIS ON YOUTUBE IF YOU WANT FULL SCREEN)
Mint Tea is literally a friend of witches and believes that Jesus never rose from the dead and is not God incarnate. She seems to think she is a Christian while she rejects Christ the Messiah, she thinks she is good enough to deserve "afterlife" outside of Hell and cant' see past the fact that she does not deserve life at all and deserves nothing but dying and dying is all the witch has.
She is extremely witchy and will pull you down into a useless mud wrestling match if you try to reason with her.
I posted this video before, watched it two or three times myself...excellent cinematography and excellent narrative of experience and philosophy and a fine presentation of how the gospel changes hearts, minds, and lives by giving a new life to an old sinner....that is the life of Christ being made manifest in the mortal flesh of those who believe on Him.
