Suzianne and SwissGambit,
If SwissGambit was joking, it was not well-played as you mentioned. Furthermore, if he were to die in 3 days. He won't be able to joke around about it anymore. He won't be able to change his mind, because it will be too late. And his joking will be meaningless for his soul's sake.
If SwissGambit was joking, it would be better for him to say to all of us that he doesn't care that he will be in hell or the lake of fire and that He denies God will ever judge him for anything eternal.
As for me, I want SwissGambit to have eternal life. I cannot convert him, Christ must change him spiritually according to the bible. SwissGambit will need to repent unto salvation.
ThinkOfOne,
Will you tel me straight?
Do you believe that you have to work your way to God by being good alone?
Why do you not believe in Christ alone for your eternal life?
Do you think that you can be as good as Christ when you were born a sinner?
God will not "forget" the sins of those who reject His Son for salvation no matter how many "good" things that sinner tries to do on earth.

SwissGambit,
Were you serious about considering giving your life to God? If not, the joke is not on us. But God will not mocked according to the bible. Either way, it is your soul that you are not caring about.
King James Version
==============
Hebrews 2: 3
How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be sp ...[text shortened]... 6: 7
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
When you speak I don't feel like I'm hearing a real person.
Originally posted by SwissGambitSorry, I don't think of it that way.
See, they all want to convert me so bad that they can't help it even after I've told them it wasn't real. 😛
But who can blame them - what a coup it would be to take down one of RHP's most prominent atheists, right? 🙂
SwissGambit,
I do reply to you, but it doesn't matter what I say to you. What matters is what God requires of all of us.
I cannot put your soul into heaven or hell or anywhere else. God is in charge of that. What you need to hear is what God says to us, not what I tell you from my own mind alone.
When you joke around, it doesn't matter that you joked to me. It is vain. But when you joke to God, you can be judged by God Himself. You are "playing around" with your own soul. You have no guarantee of another day or another hour to live on this earth. Your joking falls on your soul, not mine. I do not expect God to blame me for your joking.
Originally posted by KingOnPointSo you are continuing to claim that Rajk999 is "rejecting Christ"?
RajK may contiinue to think that works are all that matters when gaining eternal life. Rejecting Christ will not get him to God no matter how many "good" things he thinks he has accomplished.
Originally posted by KingOnPointDo you believe in Christ alone for your eternal life?
No.
Do you believe that you can be as good as Christ and earn eternal life when you are still a sinner in God's eyes according to he bible?
No.
Perhaps you need to come to terms with the fact that this Spirituality Forum is not a Christians-Only chat room. 🙂

KingOnPoint,
I do reply to you, but it doesn't matter what I say to you. What matters is what Thor requires of all of us.
I cannot put your sál into Valhalla or Hel or anywhere else. Thor is in charge of that. What you need to hear is what Thor says to us, not what I tell you from my own mind alone.
When you flee from battle, it doesn't matter that you fled to me. It is vain. But when you fled infront of Thor, you can be judged by Thor Himself. You are "playing around" with your own sál. You have no guarantee of another day or another hour to live on this earth. Your cowardice falls on your sál, not mine. I do not expect Thor to blame me for your cowardice.
Would you actually give a toss!? 😵
Originally posted by Rajk999Of course you would.
I would love to hear his answer to that.
But what others here have tried to get through to you, on numerous occasions, is that one can only come to a conclusion of you based on what they read that you type here. If you continually and unceasingly bang only one drum, unremittingly, without being willing to discuss other topics unless you can somehow angle them back to your pet topic, then one should not be surprised by any of the conclusions they may draw about you based on your output here.
Only God can read your heart. The rest of us have to make do with reading what you write here and basing our conclusions on that. If you would rather we base our conclusions on other info, then you have to be a bit more forthcoming with said info. If you don't give a toss (thank you, Agerg 🙂 ) what anyone here thinks about you, then you can't claim to be offended when they offer a conclusion based only on the meager scraps you've provided. That's all.

The fact that X is an atheist implies he does not believe God exists in the first place! and furthermore the same is highly suggestive he believes neither in hell nor souls either.
The "mission" is doomed before it even starts with this approach! :]
