"It is written in this post:
Some people will say that some or all of the contents of this post are not true. These people are fools. They are corrupt; their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good. God is not real."
Do you see the problem, Chin?
I did it myself for a long time, saying 'I don't need to be born again, I was born right the first time!'. Sounds clever, but I was wrong and God was right when He said 'You must be born again.'.

Your crackpot sect is just as guilty of creating a god of your own choosing. Saying a made up a speech declaring something that the Savior didn't ask or particularly want from you, hopefully won't make you miss that He is the salvation and not the deliverer of it. Nothing you can say can alter the requirements of salvation all the needed words have already been said. That "speech" you give is nothing more than a prayer ,He told you how to pray , and that speech ain't in the word of the Kingdom. Read them until you understand, then follow the path the words reveal to you.

don't talk nonsense then. Books are inanimate and don't call people liars. I don't think you fully understand the meaning of the word hypocrite. Get a dictionary then youi'll have two books on your shelf
That is why you need Jesus to save you.
Originally posted by RBHILLDoes that mean the book of rev. is lying and will be found in hell? Because if there are some liars who will be saved, they will not all be found in hell.

Are you saying something in my previous post is false?
Originally posted by kirksey957Thanks, but I don't think my post was too original.
That is one of the most theologically profound and honest statements I have ever read. Please do not discount yourself by thinking that theology is too hard.
If a belief in gods comes from the fear of death, does that mean that Man invented God?
Or, is that one way that God reveals Himself to us?
Or both?
Theology is too hard ...

two choices are given when in fact there are three options :
a premise that because something is not known to be true, it is assumed to be false :
a series of increasingly unacceptable consequences is drawn:
at least two unrelated points are conjoined as a single proposition :
value or moral goodness is attached to believing the author :
a proposition is argued to be true because it is widely held to be true:
somebody's character is attacked:
somebody else is called a hyprocrite
footnotes
1)an authority is not an expert in the field
2) experts in the field disagree
3) the authority was joking, drunk, or in some other way not being serious
4) the authority in question is not named
page 2.
a sample is too small to support an inductive generalization about a population:
the two objects or events being compared are relevantly dissimilar :
the conclusion of a strong inductive argument is denied despite the evidence to the contrary:
evidence which would change the outcome of an inductive argument is excluded from consideration :
a sample is unrepresentative of the sample as a whole:
a generalization is applied when circumstances suggest that there should be an exception and/or an exception is applied in circumstances where a generalization should apply :
and there are always more than 2 pages.
