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?
I agree but when you accept Jesus he forgives you for everything you are going to do. He knows your future and He forgives you for it. He knows your past and He forgives you for that too. So all he wants is your heart. Doing good things is not going to get you to heaven. All you have to do is A, B, C
A. Admit to Jesus that you are a sinner
B. Believe in your heart that Jesus is the son of God and He came down to save all of us.
C. Confess your faith in Jesus and live you life for Him forever more.
Jesus says if you confess Me before man than I will confess you before the Father(God).
Of course God has to rule. Image what the world would be like if God didn't rule. And image what the world would be like if we let Jesus be the center of our lives. Just image how the world would be like if everyone let Jesus be the center of their lives. Life would be so peaceful and joyful.
So doesn't mean anyone was drunk. And if you don't believe then, why do you know so much? And you can drink as much wine as you want just don't get drunk and make it the center of your life. When you have a problem just don't to turn to drinking wine. Some people drink and do drugs when their lives are getting overwhelming but Jesus says that's not going to help. Instead you give Jesus all of your burdens and he'll carry them for you. The things in this world will not be to your satisfaction for long. You should always turn to him.
Both sides is wrong and this debate is sooo stupid. I am a 15 years old Christian and I don't agree with atheist but I have to say this low. This beyond low and sooo not worth debating about. I mean don't you people have anything better to do with your time?
No you can't kill him. Jesus chose to die for us. He died for us so that we may live and have a chance to be with God. The perfect spotless lamb died for us. And when he comes back he will come back as a lion and not a lamb. Anyone who didn't accept his gift of forgiveness will go into the fire and died forever. The bible says in John 3:16, for who believes in him shall not parish but have enteral life. The thing is Jesus took on human form and body and felt pain so that we won't have to. So all I ask is that you try to believe.
You could not be more wrong. I never said all atheist get drunk. And you are right Christianity is not a religion, it's a way of living. My concupiscence for Jesus is strong. I strongly long for him and his love and mercy and grace. You failed to address the fact that no has ever proved that God is not real and no one has ever proved that atheist is right. So if you can't prove anything about it then you have no right to speak.
You are so blind, the scandal of grace. So to you the idea of Jesus is way too good to be true. The fact that the God of "gods" would come down to save us as a human is all too good to be true. I was adopted from Haiti when I was nine and now I am 15. I spent 9 years not knowing who Jesus is, I was taught to worship the devil. See Haiti is labeled one of the most dangerous countries. I starved and should've died. But I survived and I never knew why until I came here to American and I found out why. The unthinkable story of Jesus, the story that no human mind could ever make up. And you know it, just a much as I do.
The children in Africa would rather have starvation then death trust me. We all would rather suffer than take the punishment we deserve, which is death. And trust me it will not feel good at all. I know what it's like to be a starving child. I was adopted from Haiti when I was nine. And look God did do a miracle for me and I was not a Christian in fact I was quite the opposite. I was taught to worship the devil. But when I came here I believed because I was alive and let me tell you I should've never survived Haiti. I survived and never thrived but I still survived.
So here is where you are wrong. God can do it all at the same time. After all He is holding the world in his hands. He sees everyone and everything. He knows each hair on everyone's head. He knows each word everyone has ever said. God cares about you so much that he sent his one and only son to die for you. All I am saying is how many people and "gods" would do this for you.
You people are crazy, God judges base on what you do with your life. He still loves you very much no matter what. You should have no doubts and stop debating wether God is real because there is no reason to debate about it. God is real, Period. And all you have to do is believe by faith. I can say all this and I am only 15 and I am adopted from Haiti at the age of 9 and I spent years learning how to please the Devil and when I got to America I went to church and I knew God was real. I needed to start pleasing him and living for him only.
Hahahaha, guys are trouble too. Guys seem to judge women by what's on the outside and not the inside. And men cheat and the worst of all they put a price tag on women. Just saying if a guy put a price tag on me they can even be a billionaire and still wouldn't have a chance.
Let's get one thing straight, there is no what ifs with God. It's either you believe or you don't and let me tell you for a girl like me who was adopted from Haiti at the age of 9 and I am now 15. In those 6 years I can give you real evidence that God is real and he created the world. I know because He speaks to me all the time.
