I'm pretty confident that if an angel of God were to stand in front of you and proclaim it to be true you'd still find a reason not to believe.
You aren't God, and you don't have the right to judge him.
The ONLY thing that qualifies me for entrance into Heaven is my faith in Christ. Are you suggesting that's what every other religion believes?
It's faith in the Messiah that paid the penalty for our sins. Without Jesus we have to pay that penalty ourselves.
I don't recall anyone judging God, so you can quit the self righteousness.
Your faith in christ means nothing. The way you live your life is what qualifies any person to enter what you call heaven.
How do you live your life?? You judge people and think you're better because you've been led by the nose for a while. That doesn't qualify you for heaven.
And he proclaimed that he was god only to christians? Especially only to those who believe as you do? I don't recall reading that anywhere in your bible.

Not according to the Bible.

I don't think I'm better than anyone. I'm a bad person, actually. I don't pretend to be superior to anyone.
But it's not about the things that I do or say. It's about the attoning death of Christ.
I'm pretty confident that if an angel of God were to stand in front of you and proclaim it to be true you'd still find a reason not to believe.
Oh and that happens every day doesn't it. All these occurances of an "Angel of God" appearing in the Bible were back in the days when nobody had a clue about science or technology and hallucinations and dreams were taken as real proof of something supernatural because there was no other way of explaining it.
By the way, buddy, you put words into my mouth by presuming that I would still try to find a reason not to believe, how judgemental and what kind of a person are you to try and even think of setting an example to humanity, hang your head in shame.
You don't even know someone and make judgements about what I would or wouldn't believe already! Cocky aintch'a? Pity you are a fool.

As if I ever thought I was. Clearly you find both reading and comprehending what was originally written difficult. I accepted that we are all here on a spiritual journey to learn and that includes making mistakes, and you now twisting my words to accuse me of thinking I am either God himself or judging God is a joke worse than Christianity's lying nonsense itself! Get real man.

No, I was actually saying THAT IS NOT WHAT EVERY OTHER RELIGION BELIEVES. You yet again fail to even comprehend because you are too busy thinking of the next retort to my comment before even making sense of anything. As for "rebel", what the heck does that mean? Rebel against what? I do not go around trying to hurt anyone, and help where I can as a moral person. You sound so trite and ridiculous. A threatening teacher who conditions belief into the minds of a child by shear fear induction. "Do what I say or burn". That is not "God" that is not even logical, so forget that it is.
The emboldened text of yours, a blatent stinky lie that you should be ashamed of. So other people who aren't Christians but behave righteously and benefit mankiind will still "burn in hell"? You must get real quick! You are conditioned into a narrow channel of conciousness that will hold back your spiritual development if you really think you "Know" this.
You do not "Know", BTW, just simply believe so much that you "know", that it is simply a huge "placebo" effect that you have subjective reality right there in a teacup where you are totally convinced in your delusion to have to audacity to "tell me" what you think you "know". Yet you are a fool for even trying to convince me of what you "know".

This is what you have been conditioned to believe.
There is no "logic" behind the nonsense of this quote. This is a ridiculous fiction that clearly won't stand the test of time much longer; mind you positive human qualities that will continue to help, people on their spiritual development will always outlast all else without this Christian delusion hindering anybody.

I stand by my statement. It doesn't matter what the evidence is, I believe you'll be so irrational that you won't believe it.

Were you the one that brought up the holocaust and other bad things that have happened? If so, you were implying that your morality is better than God's. I'm just curious on what you can base that.

I've never claimed to be the sharpest tool in the shed. Maybe I'm not as bright as you are...please explain yourself more clearly.

You are rebelling against what you are told. It's ok...we all do it. At some point you'll bow the knee to Christ...either before you die when you can repent or afterward.

yes. they are sinners just like me. But w/out Christ they have nothing to pay for their sins, leaving themselves to pay for it.

As are you...
You're convinced that you "know" that I'm wrong and you're right.

Again...my first statement up at the top stands true...I believe that you really don't CARE to understand. You're not willing to have a rational discussion about it.
non-Christians can read and understand the text, but it's going to appear foolish to them.
That's really what this verse is saying. The text is meaningless to a non-believer...because the non-believer just doesn't care to let it affect his life.
Sort of like the a high pitched whistle only dogs can hear?
