Next time someone gives you crap say to them (it has never failed me EVER) if Jesus is not real and was a made up story, what about the bones of High Priest Chaiaphus? And then say “If Jesus is not real, how come you are so bent out of shape?” And then say, you are a FOOL if you THINK you can hate someone that doesn’t exist! Thats like me saying I hate red, and if red never existed I would be an insane person. So who is insane? Me or you? NAIL IT RIGHT ON THE HEAD!!!

The biggest reason people give to why they reject the existence of Jesus is because of all the pain and suffering in the world. But my question to them is if you don’t believe in God who do you blame all that on? ✝

[@Th3_Sc0rpi0n]

Human negligence? Hard one to accept but it may be true. If we truly cared about the world we would have done something about it or let it go on it’s own. There is no right or wrong path. If we let God into our hearts, we become slave thinkers instead of free thinkers. Some people want to believe others don’t. It depends on our perception of reality. If Christ was truly king, he would have stayed alive until his time was up. He did what he thought was right and it wasn’t until we have the United States existing from 1776 all the way until now. 21 century is when people stopped accepting Jesus and instead accept other people for who they are instead of what they did. No one is perfect. Whether they accept Christ or not. Everyone is both Light and Dark. Ebony and Ivory. Just like Dante’s hand made guns in the video game: Devil May Cry.

[@NEW_CREATION_IN_JESUS]

Jesus said that the only way to be *SAVED* is to be *BORN AGAIN...* What does this mean? The new birth is not any of the following: baptism, church membership, partaking of communion, reforming one’s life, prayer, or good works. The new birth is a change of heart. God gives us the new birth when we take U turn to Him with remorse for our sinful lifestyle and repent(Godly Sorow Produces Repentance and Leading to Salvation). God sees when we are ready for the new birth. We will know when we are born again. We will have a free conscience, a desire to do right, and an assurance of a home in heaven. Jesus tells us that the gates of heaven are closed to us unless we are born again. Therefore, we ask: Friend, are you born again *(Spiritually Circumcised Sinner who takes U turn from the Sinful Lifestyle and Surrenders to Jesus)* Church member, are you born again? If not, then you are lost. For Jesus says, “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3). We are in Last Days...Pls be Born Again.. May your Soul be Saved... *May your Name be in the Lamb’s Book of Life...* Amen

@@Caretaker82 From where did you get the authority to define 'mental illness'? or even declare that psychology (a pseudoscience) should have the final word on the human condition?

[@KingNazaru]

@@Caretaker82 That’s incorrect definition of faith and very flawed view on it. Even if you take religion out of the equation, faith is not “a dishonest human fallacy”. You use a parachute when you skydive because you have faith that it can keep you from falling to your death. You call the police to stop a crime because you have faith in their ability to do so. You follow a military leader’s plan because you have faith that they have a sound strategy that will secure a victory and make sure you stay alive. Faith is not believing something blindly. Even the prophets and apostles didn’t do that. Faith is trusting in something and someone in light of the evidence given. We have a multitude of historical documents, eyewitness accounts, archaeological evidence, and scientific truths from scripture that serve as evidence that the Bible is the true word of God. Your flawed view on the matter is as Isaac Newton said about atheism, “senseless and odious”.

[@Jeff-fu8is]

For me it is really disturbing to imagine what life would be like without having Jesus as my savior. When unbelievers find themselves in scary situations of the unknown and in times of trouble and fear and anxiety, who are they gonna turn to? Nobody. They're not reconciled to God. Jesus is the answer to all hope. When the unbeliever dies, there is no more hope of eternal life in Heaven. They stand completely condemned for their unrighteousness against God. And then they will be subject to eternal physical suffering of being burned and experience eternal torment of their iniquities forever and ever. As it says in the book of Revelation, the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever. And as it says in 2nd Thessalonians chapter 1 that they are separated from God's presence forever. But it doesn't have to be that way! Why not receive Jesus as Lord and Savior right now and receive what he did on the cross so that God can forgive us of our iniquities and never suffer the fires of Hell

You have a relationship with your parents, relationship with God. That is what it is. The different between Jesus and Zeus is that Jesus walked the earth. He walked in the earth with other humans. There were eye witnesses that saw him. Don't believe that? How would we know Alexander the great was a real person? Eye witness. So if hundreds of people saw, and died for Jesus.. And Jesus walked with us.. And came back 3 days later.. The reason we know what Jesus taught is true is that he came back 3 days later. He taught about us having a soul, spirit, hell, and many other important things. Now Charles Darwin didn't come back 3 days later, he stayed dead. And no offense to him. However, Jesus taught those teachings. And came back 3 days later. Why else would the Romans at the time try accusing the disciples of stealing Jesus's body? Historical proof of this happening by the way. Why else? Jesus is real, he walked down this earth. He died for our sins and came back 3 days later. And he is giving us the opportunity to receive his gift of salvation. Will you take it and receive Jesus Christ into your heart? And repent?

We all have a court appointment after death because we broke Gods law. But Jesus paid the fine. He died a brutal death for us even though he knew no sin. But we have all lied, stolen, fonicated, listed, said Gods name in vain, etc. so we all must really consider this and put away our evil deeds.

It is extremely disrespectful for you to attempt to speak for non-Christians when you are not one of them, choosing to propose your own answers instead of asking those who are qualified to speak on the matter. I do not accept Jesus because time and again, Christians have failed to provide a convincing argument of his existence. And when someone does attempt to make an argument, it is founded in even more unproven assertions. I am done listening to your unproven assertions. I want PROOF, not more assertions.

[@formerfetusopposingabortion]

Aldous Huxley, the famous atheist of the last century, once admitted that his rejection of Christianity stemmed from his desire to sin. He wrote (Ends and Means [Garland Publishers], pp. 270, 273, cited in James Boice, Genesis [Zondervan], 1:236): "I had motives for not wanting the world to have a meaning; consequently assumed that it had not; and was able without any difficulty to find satisfying reasons for this assumption. The philosopher who finds no meaning for this world is not concerned exclusively with the problem of pure metaphysics; he is also concerned to prove that there is no valid reason why he personally should not do as he wants to…. For myself … the philosophy of meaninglessness was essentially an instrument of liberation, sexual and political."

[@KingNazaru]

It’s really ignorant to say that you don’t believe Jesus existed. There’s too much evidence that he existed. From the eye witness accounts in the scriptures, his followers of the apostles. Including Peter and Paul. Even people who weren’t Christians like Tacitus, Pontus Pilate, and others have given testimonies that Jesus existed. It’s one thing to say you don’t believe Jesus is divine, but to say you don’t believe Jesus existed at all shows how little you know about him.

[@ConcernedONETOO]

ALL of us were non-Christians BEFORE we came to believe in Him. So, yes they do have experience as a non-believer. And the evidence is in the things that are seen: The sun, moon, stars, sky, clouds, rain, snow, male and female, grass, trees, flowers, birds, cats, dogs. ALL are HIS creation. God says we are without excuse because the evidence is right before our eyes. (Romans 1:19-20) The Bible is a reliable collection of historical documents, written down by eye witnesses during the lifetime of other eyewitnesses; they report to supernatural events that took place in fulfillment of specific prophecies and claimed that their writings are DIVINE rather than human. Man loves to sin and doesn't want anyone telling him what to do. Ever since Adam and Eve first disobeyed God, sin came into the world and with sin came death. (Romans 6:23) We die because of sin, but God sent His only Son "God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself" (2 Corinthians 5:19) to be the final, perfect sacrifice to cleanse us of our sin, IF WE CHOOSE to believe in Him. He offers a FREE gift of salvation to ALL who put their faith in Him and repent of their sin.
