Another drive-by preaching. Is there something in the water here? And Frodo, go to a good surgeon in Valinor and get yourself a prosthetic finger. You'll feel a whole lot better. You might also find a girl and get married.

I am 100% sure that if I died today I would not go to heaven because there is no heaven.

There was no sin that was our fault. Sin would be God's fault (if there was a God), and he blames and punishes us for it. No psuedo-deity tortured for a week or so will change that.

If you can't go to heaven by being a good person, I don't want to go to heaven, because that would mean that horrible people would go to heaven while amazingly good people would go to hell.

No, I don't believe Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose from the dead for my sins. How did he pay for my presumed eternity in hell with his three days?

Your Caps Lock key appears to be broken.

Quote:
Every person who has ever lived is a sinner
Is Jesus a person who once lived?

Quote:
and is not richeous because we do bad things.
Following this "logic", every person is not evil because we do good things.

Quote:
A sin is a crime against God
Then god's sins are crimes against humanity, and he needs a savior too.

Quote:
Even if we lie one time, the punishment is hell, which is eternal separation from God.
Will it be eternal separation from drive-by proselytizers too?

Quote:
You cannot get to heaven by being a good person
So people like Job and Noah are burning in hell right now.

Quote:
Will you do that today? If you will, you can be 100% sure that you will go to heaven when you die.
Unless the newfound delusion fails to maintain itself in the face of reality and you speedily deconvert, grateful that you didn't waste more of your time and energy.

Quote:
DO YOU BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST DIED ON THE CROSS
No, I believe he died on the Titanic.

Quote:
AND ROSE FROM THE DEAD FOR YOUR SINS?
I don't think anything I did was so bad that someone had to die for it. Sorry, but guilt trips work not on me.

Quote:
DO YOU ACCEPT WHAT HE DID FOR YOU TO PAY FOR YOUR SINS?
Let's cut to the chase. "ARE YOU TERMINALLY GULLIBLE?"

Quote:
If you prayed that prayer from your heart to God, and meant it with all of your heart, you are now a child of God and will go to heaven when you die.
Why can't you go to heaven right now? Why do you have to wait until you... oh, that's right. It's much easier to promise a gain after death, since the dead person can't return to complain.

I should point out that the original poster simply spammed this message to multiple boards and then walked away. You are not likely to get a reply to your rebuttals of it.

As such, I am sending this drive-by preaching spam to ~E~

Why is that drive-by preachers are incapable of not using caps?

Are they five year olds or just plain stupid? It's as if they think the caps actually lend weight to their arguments... For that to be true, the accuracy of a statement has to be proportional to the volume at which it is said! I'm guessing these people shout a lot in real life. :huh:

People like the original poster don't want replies. They just want to feel as though they've done their good deed for the day by spamming their religion. I would have been astonished if the original poster had stuck around and replied, but it doesn't matter; at least I had a bit of fun with the post.

Sorry, I am more concerned about committing crimes against my fellow humans.

Likewise Hitler, Stalin & Pol Pot & Ted Bundy are in hell, not because of the horrid things they have done to human beings but because they didn’t adhere to the “correct�? ideology.

I don’t give a shit where “I�? (what is “I�? anyway?) go after I die. In fact, if what you were saying is in fact true, I would refuse to pledge allegiance to such a god in protest in solidarity with all the other “nice�? people that will be burning in hell all because they didn’t say the magic words.

Quote:
…you are now a child of God
But if God created the universe & created humanity, wouldn’t we already be children of God?

Quote:
Now that you are on your way to heaven, you should attend a bible believing church and follow in baptism.
No thanks. I’m not convinced by your propaganda.

Reading through the thread I was convinced it was highly satirical and would provide a funny punch line as to how utterly absurd the "salvation this way only" stuff is.
I have a hard time believing the post is serious. If it is, it would be "unintentional self ridiculing". :angel:
Oh by the way, why not take this a step further and advertise in some christian forums: 100% salvation, only a mouse click away, go into www.IIDB.org and you can be saved. :devil2:

I know the original poster will come back to read the responses though.
Behavior or such simplistic figures is very predictable, like a criminal returning to the crime scene.
You are reading this xfrodobagginsx, I know you are. Enjoy. I can also foresee the topic of your next posting if you dare to return. The focus will be on hell. Am I right or am I right Frodo? :devil3:
