This is the kind of reasoning that causes the public to dislike Christians, RBHill.
You profess to be a Christian and a promoter/preacher of Christianity. You should pattern your life around the life of Christ. He associated with the bums and low-lifes and the prostitutes and the alcoholics of his time. He did not insult, belittle or condemn anyone excep ?
Christians like yourself will be in for a shock on judgement day. Brace yourself.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Jhn 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
Jhn 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Jhn 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
Jhn 3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
Jhn 3:21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Furthermore, Ephesians 2:8-9 discounts the arguments of those of you who think that by doing good works without believing in Jesus Christ, no matter how admirably, will atomatically get you into heven. If you fail to understand this concept, you have a surprise in store for you.
Ephesians 2: 8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.
You secularists, god-haters, Jesus-disbelievers can argue with RBHILL all you want and all you're doing is bruising your head against a brick wall. The truth has been spoken, written, and now has to be believed.
Good works will be looked upon admirably by God as long as you have the other prerequisites in order. If works alon got us into heaven, it wouldn't be fair because Donald Trump can do more good works that 99% of us, but we all have the same capability to accept Jesus and believe. Don't believe?...that't your privilege. I'll still love ya....but your works will be cast aside like grains of dirt without belief (my quote).

That Donald Trump can't buy his way into heaven or give his money to the homeless to get to heaven as well.
He must accept God's free gift (Jesus Christ) to enter into heaven.

Originally posted by frogstompYou can call me goat all you want.
There wasnt anything lost. you goat
You know you are the lost one becasue you are not a Christian.
If you where you would not call a nother Christian a goat.
And once again you are lost that is why you don't understand the truth behind Matthew Chapter 25.
I know I have eternal life for the Bible tells me so, 1 John 5:13.
I know Jesus loves me so, for the Bible tells me so. Romans 5:8.
Originally posted by chancremechanicTo me this just implies that if the Christian god did exist, he would be a stupid, petty bureaucrat and not deserving of any kind of admiration or worship at all. If I were to believe in god, I would try to invent some kind of anti-worship instead of just disbelieving. Sing His insults or something like that.

Sounds typical of you; you fail to surprise me....
Please explain why a person who spends his life saving the lives of thousands of children should be eteranally damned to hell if he happens to believe in the wrong god or just do it out of love for his fellow man, and yet a man who wastes his life and never acomplishes anything for society, should go to heaven instead just because he believes in the right god. What makes the religious bum a better, more worthy man than the atheist who saves a thousand lives?
Why should innocent babies who die of SIDS before they are baptized go to hell, while a child molester who repents once he is too old to get it up anymore go to heaven?
To me this sounds stupid, illogical, petty, and bureaucratic. It seems like a god who would care more about how much people stoke his infinite ego than about the humanity he supposedly would love.
