You want to know what isn't fair? Jesus on a cross dying for us. PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@bertrandtheApostle7343]

Mountain Warrior you nailed it.

[@pettyhuman2419]

But Jesus was only on the cross because god needed a blood sacrifice in order to forgive us. God set the criteria

[@TruthisVeritas]

@@pettyhuman2419 That may be, but God did not force Jesus to do it. Believe it or not, he had a choice. He chose us.

Isaiah 53. THE WORD PROPITIATION.

[@Android-ds9ie]

@@TruthisVeritas. This is the problem. If we are born this way, this means we are made this way by the image of God. God is the creator of all things BOTH good and evil. For he says both good and bad come from my hand alone. Therefore he created orginal sin which is embedded in all of us. What I dont get is if this is the case why repent for our sins when God created it. He than uses his only son to be punished for his mistake he made to justify why we must repent for "our sins" to get to heaven, when its actually Gods fault of creating sin to begin with. He knew this when he created Adam and Eve. He knew in his image they were perfect to him but his perfection cannot be all perfect because only God is perfect, therefore we are created as flawed beings. He knew full well what they would do. Yet he allowed it. God has the power to prevent such things. Yet stands back and allows it to happen. Than punishes those who do such things. He knew from the very beginning we were flawed and yet placed blame for us to fall for temptation and than blame us for doing so. Since he is the creator of all things and knower of all things before they even happen and what will happen. This sounds to me this is an excuse on Gods behalf to create and use Satan as an scapegoat and pawn for his own mistakes he made and to keep the image of his "perfect ways" in tack and keep the image of God a concept of so called perfection. Also, God is not a He even though he is portrayed so. If God is a he this would make him human. Because you are putting a gender on a figure, and since all humans are flawed, so would God. Therefore his creation is flawed. . .

Of course it is fair because without God there is no life, because God is life, without him there is only darkness. And because of sin people go to hell who wanted to live without God. God is holy and he cannot accept sin.

Wouldn't the most absolutely loving thing possible be to forgive those that don't repent, and rather than putting them in a fire pit forever for at the absolute smallest problem of not believing in something with no concrete evidence, and instead maybe.... I don't know.... showing the sinner why what they did was wrong and punishing them in a way that actually is proportionate? Like, is it really really fair for say, a Christian that accidentally blasphemed while being murdered and being sent to hell for it? They had no chance to ask for forgiveness. Nope, torture forever and ever and ever until time ends which is never.

[@radimmoon9974]

Bless you brother, praise Jesus Christ our God. Couple days I got vision in my mind that all people actually know about God existence by default, but their free will is actively resisting the faith. Why? Maybe beucase enemy created fake jail by liar thoughts and they are beating from all their mistakes too long, so it is surrending to enemy. I think what is happening is something like this: Since they done so many sin and mistakes, enemy is always trying to tell them, there is enemy: God, he is going to kill you, fear him, he is bad. So people rather say: "It is better for me to "vanish" God from my life, so I will no longer responsible for my act and beating will end" and they keep listening to enemy. But as we know, enemy will say everything just to keep distance from God. "Do this, it is good", "Do not listen this talk, he is trying to offence you, you are the only best one", "If you will act like this, you will be respected" ,etc.... We are actualy like an elephant on a string in circus. We just believe it has a more power than we have. Honestly, God made us for His image for a reason. What do you think about this opinion? Let me know. Thank you! :)

[@whydidyouwin9981]

Romans 1:20 Verse Concepts For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. Psalm 19:1-4 The heavens are telling of the glory of God; And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands. Day to day pours forth speech, And night to night reveals knowledge. There is no speech, nor are there words; Their voice is not heard. Their line has gone out through all the earth, And their utterances to the end of the world In them He has placed a tent for the sun, Acts 14:17 Verse Concepts and yet He did not leave Himself without witness, in that He did good and gave you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, satisfying your hearts with food and gladness." Ezekiel 38:22-23 "With pestilence and with blood I will enter into judgment with him; and I will rain on him and on his troops, and on the many peoples who are with him, a torrential rain, with hailstones, fire and brimstone. "I will magnify Myself, sanctify Myself, and make Myself known in the sight of many nations; and they will know that I am the LORD."'

[@radimmoon9974]

@@whydidyouwin9981 Yes, I know them. Maybe it connected all together bring me and idea. I am just wondering why people do not believe, cause it is the problem.

[@matthewheun1458]

@@radimmoon9974 because naturally we are dead in our trespasses and sin, and don't seek for God, that is why salvation is of God by his grace, because we naturally are unrighteous and have a nature to love sin Rather than God. So naturally we don't want God we want our sin, when God saves us, regenerates us brings us to repentence and faith, we become new creations that seek God believe in Christ and live righteousness. Does this help? I can post Bible verse if needed.

I am a Christian, but here is a follow-up question I believe the Hindu would pose after your response: “If I already don’t believe in God, how can I believe in his ‘Law’ that you speak of? And if I can’t believe this ‘Law’, how can I believe that Jesus ‘paid the fine’ for it? Your response is not mutually exclusive from belief in God; rather, it requires it.”

[@livetwice7702]

This concept of Hell is problematic , many Christians won’t accept Hell they say it will be separation from God only , or Sheol which means the grave . However there are many references in the Bible to the burning lake of fire for all eternity and Revelation is quite terrifying. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom , if you have not trembled physically at the word of God then your knowledge is incomplete, ...we also have words like trust , faith , and Fear Not .....let us accept Jesus in our hearts place our trust in Him and say ....Not my Will but Thy Will ....Amen

[@victoriacharlesworth7099]

Did you not hear the good news? We have ALL fallen short of the glory of God and we are ALL sinners... Jesus paid our fine. That's what happened on the cross. Jesus paid with His blood so we can be reconciled to His Father and can be forgiven when we turn to Him, repent and fully trust in His finished work on that cross and that He is our saviour who was born, He died and He rose again on the third day conquering death. A saviour that we ALL desperately need because not one of us can keep those commandments, there is nothing more important in this world than your salvation. If you want to pay the debt yourself and reject the free gift of eternal life with an Almighty and loving God then hell awaits for you to do so. I implore you to Choose carefully because we are not promised tomorrow and we are called once to die and then judgement. I would say that the words told in the bible that anyone not in Christ will hear at their judgement are the most frightening words our ears could ever hear.... 'depart from me I never knew you you worker of iniquity'.... you hear those words from The Lord and you know where you are going for eternity. Stop and think for a few seconds how long eternity is for. Never ever getting out from a horrific place of torment where the fire is never quenched and the worm that feeds upon you never dies. God desires that no man should go there because He made hell for vile satan and the horrid creature demons that followed him out of heaven. I see from your name that you may be part of a coven. There may be a testimony you would be interested in hearing, there is a book called 'set free to serve Christ' by an ex-witch called Doreen Irvine. It is sold on world of books or there may be something online about her. You can be forgiven and the chains broken from the enemy but only by Jesus Christ who says "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father but through me" John 14:6. My heart goes out to you and all others who are throwing away salvation, peace beyond all understanding, joy, with both hands. Keep watching Living Waters content and ask God to show you the truth of what they are teaching, the truth of His word. 😊✝️🙌💕

[@CelticSpiritsCoven]

@@victoriacharlesworth7099 We have obviously heard of that news. "We may be part of a Coven"??? Honey, we ARE the Coven -- the one that has saved more people TO Christ than even your local minister has. Doreen Irvine was ruled by the Power of the Myth. We Witches teach you who you are.

[@seanrathmakedisciples1508]

Everyone born into this world is born into the realm of Adam or fallen man. So we are all born into the world and the god of this world is Satan because Adam gave his authority to Satan by obeying Satan.. That’s why Jesus said that we all need to be born again or be reborn into god’s family. As many as believe in Jesus God gave the right to be in his family. John 1:12. When we call on Jesus then we are brought into god’s family from the kingdom of darkness or Satan’s realm.The only reason anyone goes to Hell is for rejecting God’s provision for all mankind which is Jesus who is the savior of the entire world.. When we call on Jesus then we are snatched from the kingdom of darkness and brought into Jesus kingdom of love and light Colossians 1:13. Call on Jesus and receive your free gift forgiveness and salvation and eternal life. Jesus is God becoming man and taking the sins of the world. Call on Jesus right now and have Paradise and eternal life Luke 23:34-44

[@briankelley1093]

Repentance is the translation of a Greek word 'metanoia-metanoeo' meaning 'to have another mind,' 'to change the mind,' and is used in the New Testament to indicate a change of mind in respect of sin, self and of God. Every person has sinned and come short of God's glory. (Romans 3:23) The Gospel: Christ died for our sins and rose again. (1 Corinthians 15:3-4) Upon trusting the Gospel a person is sealed by the Holy Spirit. (Ephesians 1:13) However, an immoral believer can die early as 1 Corinthians 5:5 states. This is clear evidence that a person can live sinfully and still go to Heaven. That is NOT to say, however, that it's acceptable to live sinfully. Because it's certainly NOT. (Romans 6:1-2) But, as 1 Corinthians 5:5 states, an immoral believer can be given over to satan for the destruction of the flesh. Such a person will lose rewards in Heaven, but he or she will be in Heaven. (1 Corinthians 3:15) Unfortunately, some believers do live sinfully.

[@MorganJServices]

We need to view the problem from the angle of who exactly is responsible for the choice of an eternal dwelling place. It is not God Almighty who chooses who will be with Him in Paradise and who will be separated from Him in glory. Mankind is making their individual choices from the gift of free will bestowed upon every human created since Adam & Eve. God Almighty, creator of heaven & earth, was not seeking to create another being with an eternal soul that served Him out of automated response. Mankind was His very good creation given a choice to love Him, fellowship with Him and serve Him. All the earth and the heavens testify to His master plan and His Lordship so that no single human would be without excuse of knowledge of His existence. Evolutionary science has been proven to be a deception since admission of Lucy the primate link being a hoax. Only a higher authority could put every species, every aspect of our world into place. Without an excuse of knowing that God does exist, it is each human responsibility to willingly heed the call or tug on our souls to understand God and what He is asking from mankind. Post crucifixtion for the world's sin sickness, He no longer must demand out of anger or jealousy but rather pursues, encourages, reveals and woos anyone who seeks Him. The Bible is a map to help along the journey. Since you are here under your own choice to engage in conversation with Christians, I think you are questioning your understanding on some level. I hope you are treated with kindness and desire to stick around awhile. One more thought to consider. If you had gone to great lengths to create mankind and perfectly provide for all their possible needs .... wouldn't you be feeling betrayed and incensed at their utter defiance of all your priceless gifts? Do you think you could forgive like He does and let your creation back into your home?

[@contenderfortruth]

Give me one example of anyone who decided on their own to follow Jesus.

[@pettyhuman2419]

This doesn’t make sense. It isn’t a persons fault if they are not convinced of gods existence. You can’t believe something you are not convinced is true. Why did god bother giving us a choice and then choose to stay hidden? Why doesn’t he reveal himself to everyone equally considering what is at stake? The correct answer is ‘no’ it’s not fair.

[@chriswinchell1570]

LW misses the point. He seems deliberately obtuse: if one does not believe in god then the gospel is just literature and there is no law to believe in either. It’s not that atheists don’t just believe in the judge, they don’t believe that the judge even exists. They don’t believe in your fictitious accuser.
