Did it ever occur to you to ask yourself if what this person was saying was true?

It is true because later I learned it was true because God teaches about this in His Word.

You admittedly reject the Lord so you really don't know what Truth actually is.




You did it save your own skin, by your own admission.

I did because I'm not stupid!

It's very slow for someone to hear about the opportunity to get saved and not go to hell and decide and then decide they'd rather go ahead and go to hell. That's really really slow.




Prove it. Show me evidence of people burning in hell.

Believe whatever you want bud, you've been notified.

When people arrive in hell, they'll see the evidence they asked for.




Why not be nice to EVERYONE and behave like a Christian should behave....

You mean don't share the whole truth with people?




We can never be too sure...
maybe @Riven will end up with you in heaven.....

How is someone going to be in Heaven when they refuse to accept the Lord and get born again?

Are you one of them universalists that claim Jesus lied when He said you have to be born again?




maybe more than some that consider themselves to be Christian but don't ACT like it.

You think we should keep the Light of the Gospel hidden then, right?




Jesus said:
Matthew 7:24
24 "Therefore everyone who
hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock.

Correct, and those refusing to act on God's Word to get born again and live for Him are building their lives on sinking sand and in the end their fall into hell shall be catastrophic

Thanks for making my point for me! :gd

But you didn't know at the time. You were simply afraid and didn't want to go to hell. It is true, I don't know what the truth is. I only know that I don't know yet. Maybe someday that will change.

What makes you think anyone can be saved through fear? Do you really believe the nature of your conversion won't be brought to your attention by the Lord when you face Him?

You were simply afraid and didn't want to go to hell.

I was not stupid, so I went down front and got born again because the preacher's message also included scriptures about God's love and how it was NOT God's will for me to go to hell.




I don't know what the truth is.

What the Lord says in His Word IS Truth. You have been informed and are without excuse.

Mark 16:16
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.


Jesus is clearly saying those that do not believe are damned.




What makes you think anyone can be saved through fear? Do you really believe the nature of your conversion won't be brought to your attention by the Lord when you face Him?

You wouldn't know because you just got finished acknowledging that you do not know what Truth is.

You are hardly in a position to be claiming what Jesus says are lies.

What the Lord says in His Word IS Truth. You have been informed and are without excuse.

@Riven. Please don’t blow this. There is such a thing as counterfeit Christianity. Let it walk. Focus your eyes and ears on Jesus.
