Who is actually most likely here to make you a convert to Christianity?

I mean... I've never really been the spiritual type. but.... I was reading through some old debates, and like.....Saintnow, he's like really harshing my mellow with the dude upstairs, but then like.....some of the backlash against him was simply inspired.... so like, out of all the Criss Cross asshats, who's actually almost able to make you PRAISE JESUS! 

Inquiring minds want to know.

If you are moved by the way Jesus lived his life then find your inspiration in the debaters who are kind and fair and humble and NOT any of the ones who are angry bullies screaming orders that we have to do it or else.

Have to agree. Honestly the people most likely to make you turn away from Christianity are the angry naysayers who bully, harass and act like holier-than-thou hooligans in the name of God.

If you practice what the bible teaches, or what God teaches, and show humility and passion, you have more of a voice then if you thump your bible screaming hell fire and brimstone.

Christianity is something you have to experience, there is no proof viable to anyone other than yourself, it is something you feel and believe. If you have an open mind and are curious about it, it's a fascinating religious structure and in many ways a very comforting thought.

Aaah. So atheism is based on emotions rather than logic. What an interesting admittance. Daddy likes it.

Um.. how can i get converted if their is proof that half of what the old testament says is bs that never happened. And that the christian god will burn you in hell for eternity if you don't believe in him. Teaching that to a child is mental child abuse, you are simply feeding them lies.

You can't get converted when you will not agree with God that you have sinned against Him and deserve to be left in Hell as His enemy. God cannot convert you when you will not agree with Him.

s kind of like Trump (I'm sure Trump will like that comparison), I will not agree with him, so he'll never convert me.

lol ... not unless God has called you ....... Chosen for eternity

--------------------------------------

Those whom God has not called will ALWAYS find an excuse to REJECT the one whom God has sent ..

The ONE who IS THE way / THE truth and THE life ...

--------------------------------------

Acts 04:08 .. then Peter .. filled with the Holy Spirit .. said to them . . . rulers and elders of the people

04:09 .. if we are on trial today for a benefit done to a sick man .. as to how this man has been made well

04:10 .. let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel .. that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene .. whom you crucified .. whom God raised from the dead .. by this name this man stands here before you in good health

04:11 .. he is the stone which was rejected by you .. the builders .. but which became the chief corner stone

04:12 .. and there is salvation in no one else .. for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved

I honestly don't like the word convert really. It makes me cringe when I hear people say that. More like make disciples because that's what Jesus told us to do. I tried to make disciples and answered peoples questions on here. Now I've gotten to the point where it's pointless to debate with people who aren't willing to actually listen and come up with so many excuses to hold them back from believing because in reality there is no excuse to not believe in God. I've debated so many people now, I just don't really feel like debating with people these days who I know won't change after the debate. That's why you rarely often see me online anymore these days because I have more important things in life than to be on a site filled with people who will debate about almost anything to the bone.

What exactly were you expecting from a debate website if not people debating everything to the bone?

And there's your problem. You aren't going to convince anyone, if you arrogantly believe that they just aren't willing to admit you are right. The fundamental arrogance there precludes any possible conversion.

It's like if an atheist was debating you, and decided to give up because they "knew" you didn't believe in god but you just didn't want to admit it.

And, yeah, as Cartman said, it is a debate website, after all.

None. Not one religious person i have encountered in my 4 years on this site has ever even slightly nudged me toward a belief in god.

1 point

Ok, but which have nudged you the least toward atheism? And who says it has to be a Christian? Is there a atheist on here who has made you think you shouldn't be on the same side as them?

Nope. Ive met atheists who are assholes. But their assholish nature has nothing to do with the position of not believing in god. Nothing another atheist could do would cause me to not be an atheist short of proving a god exists. But if they did that then they wouldnt be an atheist anymore.

1 point

I can say the same thing from the opposite side of the aisle. I can't even get an atheist on here to even theorize how reality came to be, much less convince me of it.

What I have never figured out is WHY the all powerful God allows that little brat satan to run around being a pain in the buttox? Can't the all powerful creator just do away with that little prick? ;-)

because you can't weed out the negative behaviors by force maybe? god ought to have learned that from the flood.

What are your points of hate for Christianity?

What do you think they got wrong, if everything they believe is true?

If everything they believed is true, what would you suggest is the direction of God for their lives today? Try to Honestly answer as if it were true

And what are the main points you negative and positive points of this religion compared to other religions?

1 point

It would take this "GOD" showing up, showing ALL other religions (including many who follow "HIS WORD" (whatever THAT is), apologizing for all the confusion HE has allowed, all the wars allowed to be fought in HIS NAME .... whichever name IS real ... if any (part of the confusion). Maybe even publish, and present copies to all his "creations", of HIS REAL WORD, and show some compassion for those HE has confused. S/HE/IT would then be something I could believe in and follow.

I don't think that is too much to ask. I'm not holding my breath.
