Originally posted by RBHILLI love the way Christians keep trying to back up what they say by claiming it is comming from "the experts". Forget about what thier field of expertise is, they're experts so they must be right. How a dictionary writter would have any expertise in time is not mentioned at all, and dont worry about the fact that the dictionary is not trying to tell you the truth or facts about time but rather what the general use of a word is.
The dictionary gives it two definitions. First, it says that eternity is "time without beginning or end." Then, it says that it's "the timeless state following death." So, there you have it according to the experts. Eternity is eternal time and a timeless eternity.
I also notice that he doesnt explain why saving souls is so important, or what the big hurry is, or why hes wasting his precious time in this forum.

Thinking About Eternity
Have you ever taken the time to think about the word, "eternity?" The dictionary gives it two definitions. First, it says that eternity is "time without beginning or end." Then, it says that it's "the timeless state following death." So, there you have it according to the experts. Eternity is eternal time and a timeless eternity.

You only have this life to decide whether to believe in jesus christ... and this will decide whether you spend eternity in heaven or hell.
The big hurry?
We do not know the hour of Jesus Christ's return, so if we do not spread the message of the gospel swiftly, then it may be too late for your soul
Precious time?
I believe that God can touch people and awaken their spirit to see Him and repent, follow Him, and be saved from eternal damnation

Originally posted by damage79You still dont say why you should do it. Or is it your way of buying a seat in heaven for yourself?

Since Gods sense of morality and justice seems to conflict with mine I think I would rather not spend eternity with him. Also I strongly question whether my soul is anywhere close to 'me' and to a large extent I realy dont care where my soul ends up after I die.

If God wants it saved he'll make time.

Well it hasnt happened to me. In fact I would say he is not trying very hard considering the percentage of Christians in the world.

Eph. 2:8-10
Once you are saved (Romans 10:13; Acts 2:21; Joel 2:32) and you can know that you have eternal life (1 John 5:13) so then why not tell others. And plus Jesus said to tell others. When you tell others that they can be forgiven of sins though Christ and they accept Him then they are forgiven. If they are not told or don't accept thye will not be forgiven. (John 20:23)
Even Jesus says you are forgiven becasue of faith
Matthew 9:2
Some men brought to him a paralytic, lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven."
Like I said before you can have knowledge of your salvation.
Luke 1:77
to give his people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins,
Originally posted by RBHILLI don't bother you with my beliefs. Why do you believe you must take it upon yourself to bother others with yours?
That's why, as Christians, we should make the best use of it while we have it, and the best way we can do that is to seek and save the lost. There goes another minute. Gone forever. Go share your faith while you still have time.
Leave me "lost,", thank you.

Originally posted by damage79Ah yes, that all forgiving god. Of course, he created our souls uniquely, but being omnipotent, knew we'd never believe in him. Therefore, god created me for the purpose of going to hell. Since I'm already damned I might as well make the most of it....

Originally posted by scottishinnzNo, God created you so that you might have a close relationship with Him, you choose not to. You are not already damned, as long as you have breath you can turn back to Jesus and ask forgiveness. He is ever merciful.

The fact that you do not believe it doesn't change that fact
