Christians say the darndest things.

lmao.

We don't all read the Bible. Shocker.

The Bible has been talking about it being the end of times ALL THE TIME.

/yawn.

actually, the bible hasnt been talking about the end of time being all the time..in fact, it says none of us will ever know when he will come again. we just have always had doomsday prophets to tell us the end is near. it DOES give you enough hints as a believer to understand when the end is near..certain things require believers to do different things in the end times. for that reason, the bible gives guidance for believers in order that we will survive and maintain our faith. as the end times unfold, it will be harder and harder to believe, as satan will have more and more control over the earth.



your right..my context was probably a little whack. its tough once you believe and start to understand to expect others have as well. and just because we don't believe in something doesn't mean its not going to happen...people live horrific lives every day in denial. I never believed drugs would destroy the nerves in my head..people i know never thought they would get raped if they hung out at sketchy places and people end up dead every day because they thought certain laws did not apply to them.

but thats free will for ya..

aye. but who loses if it doesn't? noone really.

and who loses if it does? ..

shows what you know. i post rarely now because of a new project at work thats eating my time. implying that I'm scared of you or anyone on here (not even APPROACHING the fact this is a messageboard) is just silly.

besides..we alllll know that you are are one to talk about being respected. pot..kettle..black?

unless of course you ARE accountable...in which case eternal damnation is a bit more difficult to deny exists if it becomes reality.

your choice to deny..i'd hate to be in a non-believers shoes when they standing in front of the one that created them trying to make excuses when asked what they have to say for themselves and their sins.

If God is as big and powerful as we believers believe, then there won't be any shadows to hide in either..but if people want to take that chance, so be it.

but if God is the creator, and that driving force in your conscience then you are believing in him (sort of), just not giving him credit. and if all he requires to get into heaven is to believe he delivers wisdom and truth, that christ is that truth and the holy spirit is the method of delivery, then even though intentions are good...you are still denying the one that created you exists. in which case, why would he give you the luxury of living forever in heaven?

everyone sins..its in our nature and all around us. but two things happen as a believer. 1) we get forgiveness of those sins just by asking him, and 2) as a true believer, we don't want to sin...so our life is a constant improvement process. Only bible thumpers think that you need to stop what you are doing and cannot have another sin in your life until you die in order to get into heaven. in my opinion. but once you have a relationship with God, you want to sin less and less..he works on us little by little once we are saved. noone on this earth is strong enough to resist sin their entire life...otherwise he wouldn't have had to come to the earth in the flesh in order to give us a way to be saved.

bah..anyways. the dead horse gives up.

no...once you've seen him and are in front of the throne its over..its not about faith anymore and judgement is upon you (and us all).

think of it like a trial. God is the judge. you are asked to account for your sins. in this respect, everyone is guilty...but if you are a believer and believe christ died for our sins, then he has paid the price for you already and there is nothing to account for. if you DONT believe, the price is paid by yourself...eternal damnation.
