it’s easy to make …
it’s easy to make up storyes and scaring other people to believing. all reliions are just full of and you have o think like this: How can you compare the knowlage of a 2k year old book (you know when there were no cars, PC, internet, decent houses, water supply, healthcare) with the modern knowlage which gives you so much things which you just take for granted
It’s more like, ” …
It’s more like, “join our religion, pay us some cash so the allmighty god’s work can be done or suffer all eternity”.
Have you been …
Have you been somehow teleported from the past to believe in 2000 years old legends, written by men having no grasp on reality?
So what it boils …
So what it boils down to is, join our religion or suffer for eternity?
i know this about …
i know this about God he loves us, he tests us, i dont know for what. maybe to make us strong. he has a sense of humor. if he wants u he will come and show u. now for the devil, whatever your weakness is he will exploit it . he will send demons to influence u and just stand beside u. he will make u a great artist and give u ideas that work out for his purpose. he will invade your dreams. he will make wrong seam right
that means that God …
that means that God is the only one that supplies your needs such as he did for jesus. if you label yourself u are already causing division. Dont let books or history tell u there is no God or no devil the proof is in your face. we try to think of God on a human level and that is rediculous. to many testimonies from people. to many people doing witch craft and magic. what u may feel is cheated, when you read the bible and God is depicted like zues
you have to live …
you have to live exactly like christ to be a christian. u cant even do it, you have to go to work and feed your family. u cant even stand up to your boss if you see them doing wrong to someone else. being a christian means that you live totally off God. you dont work u are aliving example of the most high.
there is a spirit …
there is a spirit world and i dont think of it as seperate from this one. if i see a metaphysical act or spiritual act it is like another day in the park for me. Atheists and Agnostics all i can tell you is that i dont believe in God, I know for a fact that there is a God. it isnt an option for me
i can only speak of …
i can only speak of my life experience not because of the bible. somethings in the bible do not make sense and people justify it. adam and eve were first but what about the people in the land of nod as an example. in my life i have experienced demonic influence and have had visions, where i can touch things or feel heat
@MsBREATHOFLIFE …
@MsBREATHOFLIFE We’re just a genetic experiment of a more advanced extraterrestrial race perhaps? Made in his image? Yeah it might be true but not god’s image did you ever think of that? I was born in a christian home and once I started doing my research and came up with anwsers I was shocked and here I am today.
Dave u are right. …
Dave u are right. It has got to be the real thing. Just like the men who put Jesus on the cross. It was for them that Jesus died. The man that put the spear in his side salvation was for him. Thing is true repentance from the soul, & heart. God will forgive all who come in faith believing. This is for them. So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. But everyone will not welcome the Good News. yet faith comes from listening to this message. They can laugh if they want.!!.
#2 Cornelius, I …
#2 Cornelius, I don’t know if u know scripture. Rom 9:30. New Living trans.
Well then, what shall we say about these things? Just this: The sinners have been made right with God by faith, even though they were not looking 4 him. But the Jews tried to do good by the law, or good works instead of by faith.they could’nt do it. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How can they call on him whom they don’t beleive in? How can they hear without someone telling them?
OK, say this child …
OK, say this child kills another child which it has been done be4. And that child is put in2 custody in a medical facility or correctionaly facility until the age of 21. They might let that person out. But when he gets out who will take over his life or mind? Will it be God or the devil? If he choses not to believe in God, he might do it again. I’m not copping out. Their are things that God will just have to judge. U can’t get to heaven on good works, what u are saying is I don’t need God.
The shooters where …
The shooters where not repentant, they took their own lives. This is suicde they did’nt have a chance to repent. In our lives we see & hear the word of God on TV, a radio, or someone tells us about God. That was the day u heard the voice of God. They chose not to except it, in their hearts they said I have plenty of time, I’ll wait. And we hear it more then ounce in our lives. All we can do is tell u the choice is up to u take it or leave it. God said chose life why would u die without me.
Pogohead, God …
Pogohead, God did’nt let the shootings happen. God told them not to do this, they over rode the voice of God. God said the day u hear my voice hearden not your hearts. They heard, they just did’nt want to listen to it.They had a choice not to do it. Jesus said chose ye this day whom u will serve will it be God or this lifestyle? They chose this lifestyle. Their was a young lady who they asked do u still believe in God? She said yes, they said go meet him then. So they knew the voice of God.
So if an eleven …
So if an eleven year old child kills another child in cold blood due to being brought up horrendously dies, does that child go to hell?
If somebody lives to the age of twenty, leads a peaceful, happy life, but doesn’t follow christianity, they go to hell?
cornelius, This is …
cornelius, This is what the Bible says, we all where born sinners. Not becuz God has a soft spot, but becuz they did’nt sin. They were still born, or 12 years of age depending on weather or not at the age of 12 they don’t sin. Now a days 12 year olds are having sex, maybe even under that. If they were told about God & refused Him. They chose their path, but God will give them a chance up to 120 years if they change their minds by then. It’s time when all the human race will have 2 make a choice
Good point. …
Good point. Whenever I bring up questions like this, the knee jerk response I get is “God works in mysterious ways.” It’s a convenient excuse for any of god’s behavior. It doesn’t keep him accountable for his actions. He may or may not answer prayers. He may or may not allow a genocide.
A lot of these …
A lot of these comments verify exactly what you say in your video. MsBREATHOFLIFE, for example, is accusing your view of god because it points out an unflattering side to the biblical god. Perhaps religious people compromise the facts to support the beliefs they feel so emotionally dependent on. Just a thought…
Hey fightingAtheist …
Hey fightingAtheist….Luke 9:62
Jesus replied, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.”

Only if they had true repentence in their hearts. I know that it sucks to hear, but yes God would. I think that somebody with a true sense of what forgiveness is would never take life without reason. This is good and bad, good that God will forgive you, me, and world for what we do, and he will forgive others for what they do. True repentence is the key to forgiveness with God, and God knows what is in the heart of a man. He also knows what the special sauce on a Big Mac is.
So we’re born into …
So we’re born into sin, and sinners go to a fiery hell, but babies don’t go to because God has a soft spot for them. I don’t get it.
‘Children who are old enough to know they are sinners’; seeing as it’s your organised religion who hammers into children what sin is, isn’t it you who’s damning everyone?
Out of interest, …
Out of interest, why did god let the shootings happen in the first place? Regardless of how repentant the shooters were; why did god let it happen? Did the victims have time to repent before they were killed? Even the ones who didn’t see the bullet coming. If not, whoopsie!
Gnomefro These are …
Gnomefro These are not my ideas, this is what took place. The things that took place with Adam handing the world over to Satan. Satan tryed to give it back to Jesus if Jesus would worship him,(the devil) In Hebrews the scriptures says If the first covenant had be faultless, there would have been (NO NEED) for the second covenant which was Jesus Christ. The first covenant being Adam. The second Jesus. For had they known they would not have Crucifed the Lord. All made up? I hope u will never know
In your case, …
In your case, afterwards would be pretty beneficial too.
