Thank God His way is soooooo much better. I would rather know someone has come to Christ because they truly love God than to know they have just "made the decision" to follow Christ to avoid burning in some torture chamber. There is no good news in that.
See we are not on the same side. We are not brothers and sisters in Christ. We don't share the same truth. We are no similar to each other than Mormons or JW. "koinonia"

1 John 1:6–7 (NIV)
6 If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.

So what makes you so almighty righteous to believe that it is you walking in the light and us walking in the darkness...because we don't agree with you?

You ought to be ashamed of yourself.

I didn't say I was walking in the light. I said, we both can't be walking in the light. One of us is wrong. I never said you were wrong. Please don't put words in my mouth.

So then you're admitting that you could be wrong?

Nope I am not wrong. I have the truth, same way you believe you have the truth, and mormons, JW believe as well but there is only ONE TRUTH. If we don't share the same truth then we can't possibly be walking together in the light.

The Good Test
Oh Good Lord! It's funny, as hell, how the test goes through the commandments... one by one. Have you ever committed adultery? REMEMBER that anytime you have lusted after another person it counts as adultery. Well I had to answer guilty to that one... I'm married.

So basically we are guilty right? LOL there's no way out of it. But then the good news is that Jesus saved you.. well he will save you BUT you have to do this first. Then if you don't do this, this and this you may not be saved.

Oh and remember that if you die with unrepentant sins there is no purgatory ---> Straight to hell!

Such wonderful news.

Funny as hell though.

That's the good news! Thank you Jesus.
This is just religious nonesense and i would recommend quiting the church that teaches it and burn all the books that teach it.


The good news is God loved the world at its worst.

Romans 5 verse 8

8But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

In otherwords He did not ask us to clean up our act before He was willing to demonstrate His love for us.

Titus 2 verse 11

For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men.

In otherwords God revealed is heart to the world in Christ at Calvary.

This is what causes a man to repent Romans 2 verse 4.

You still keep getting repentance wrong as well , remember it's is goodness that causes repentance not condemnation. .

This is the good news: (as I see it)

While we were yet sinners and we all deserve hell because we broke God's Laws, Jesus died for us so that we are covered by the blood of Christ and when God sees me, He sees Jesus and when God sees Jesus he sees me therefore I am seen as righteous in God's sight and He will welcome me with open arms into heaven.

Jesus covered us all in the blood, not just some. That is the only difference in my view.

But yet that is enough for you to say that some are not brothers and sisters of yours in Christ?
