From Rapture Ready

What I find disturbing about this is that the bible seems to imply that people in Heaven can actually communicate with people in Hell. You've been in Heaven one billion years and your family has been in hell for the same length of time what would you tell a loved one burning in said hell?

Sucks to be you!

Both. I had been taught the Bible a bit years ago but fell away from living a life of faith over 15 years and somehow after I came to the end of my self destruct mode Jesus intervened in my life in a very powerful "supernatural" way.

That's a very interesting claim. How, exactly, did he "intervene" ?

It is important to understand that every single Christian (and followers of all other religions) are really worshiping their own ego’s, that’s all they do.

I can only post quickly because it is almost time for the daily sacrifice to me, which I have decided is to be Weston's organic cider, as I am thirsty after mowing the lawn in the warm sun smiting the infidels.

Considering his actions in the past I don't find him qualified to judge anything.

I believe what scripture says, "narrow is the way and few who find it."

According to Revelations only 144,000 will be saved. I think all the spots are taken. See you in hell, sister.

I am in love with the living God. I truly know him through Christ.

Isn't Christ God ?

You can too if you would just try to take a leap of faith.

Same thing can be said of Buddha. It would be nice if you came to realize that all faiths are equal because they can all claim the same thing. Only evidence sets them apart.

It wasn't for nothing that Jesus died.

Again: HE DIDN'T DIE.

Actually, the spirit told me that Satan has deluded all of the fundementalists into thinking they are doing god's work. The worship of the rapture (an event where people will be wisked away so that all others can be killed horribly) is perfect example of the self-serving nature of satan. It's interesting how fundementalists simply don't see this obvious taint of the dark one on them.

Indeed. It's all about "me, me, me!"

Have you checked the first chapter of Matthew and the first of Luke as I suggested ?

No you cannot stand in front of God and use me as your excuse for denying him, that just will not fly! You must have a change of heart it's true and only the Lord can do that! I pray he saves you before it's too late!!

Sorry, Kathy, but if I had to guess, it probably would fly. You lie. You are a liar. How can we trust anything you say about your god when you can't even tell the truth about how you came here, or whether or not you even read a particular book?

You can pray all you like about us getting "saved," but the truth of the matter is you have so convoluted the whole issue to the point that no one would ever know the difference between salvation and damnation as you have defined them.

You lie. You are a liar. Even your onscreen name is a lie, since you're not even curious, (except in the pejorative), and I would question whether your name is even "Kathy." Frankly, you'd do greater good for your "faith" if you just went away and let the real Christians do what they do best. (I could wish I could get Peggy to sign on here.)

If you are truly open to find this question answered more in detail go to this website as Charlie Campbell is someone most of you can relate to. He's was just like many of you here on jref and has documented much of his journey from atheism to faith.
Here's a link the the 5 questions most skeptics ask...

Okay, I took the bait and went to the website. Most of the questions/answers presume the existence of God. Here's a list of said questions:

What about those who have never heard of Jesus? Will they be condemned to hell? Why would God have created us, if He knew in advance that so many people would be eternally lost?”Why do Christians reject the apocryphal writings that are in the Catholic Bible? What about homosexuals? Do you believe that they go to hell? Can God make a rock so big that He cannot move it? Yes or No? Why aren’t dinosaurs mentioned in the Bible?How could the gospel writers have accurately remembered all that Jesus said and did?I always hear Christians say that Jesus fulfilled all of these prophecies. If that's true, where are they located in the Bible?My friend, who is a Mormon, has pointed out that the Mormon church seems to be growing faster than most Christian churches and indicated that this seems to be a sign of God's blessing. How might I respond to that?Does 2 John 10 mean we shouldn't allow cultists into our homes?

I tried to read all of the "responses", but they made me sleepy. These questions are moot without looking at the larger picture of evidence for God. There were only a few questions on the site that related to the existence of God and the truth of the Bible as a whole:

What evidence do you have that there is a God?
The answer, apparently, is the same old Thomas Aquinas watchmaker proof. The universe can't have made itself or have been around forever so it must have been created blah blah blah. Although the origins of the universe is an intriguing question, KK, just because we don't know the answer doesn't convince me there is a God. Wait 100 years, maybe scientists will figure it out. Maybe not.

What evidence do you have that the Bible is actually true?
The answer, apparently, is prophecy, archaeology, and unity. Please, KK, as I am trying so hard to see where you're coming from, provide one example of clear cut prophecy that came true. As far as archaeology goes, well, Elvis existed but that sure don't mean everything you hear about him is true. Good fiction writers tend to take their characters from the real world. This doesn't make it true. And unity, KK, this is a joke, right? The first two books in Genesis contradict each other, and you're telling me the whole thing is united? Sorry, can't buy that, either.

Finally, I'm either going crazy or there were more than 5 questions on that site.

How do I report to the moderators a thread derail?

-------------------------------

I don't mind KK posting in the forums, but I do mind her derailing my thread.
 
At the lower left of the post there is a triangle with an exclamation point in it. Press that.
 
This is a really sick post from the same thread. Bolding mine.

KingdomSeeker,

I agree with posts by so many on this one---You do have a tender heart for both the Lord and for your unsaved loved ones!

My DH and I are praying daily for our kids and grandkids, especially. Our two daughters used to know the Lord (my daughter in particular had been sold-out for Jesus since she was a pre-schooler), but they've fallen away from faith, tacking God onto their plans at times, but living each day as functional atheists. They both think we're completely overboard on this, thinking that "This is the real world" and finding no real place for faith in it (SIGH!!!!)

What gives us hope is that they will both be "shaken" when we--and millions of other believers around the world--disappear. We've taught both of them all about the rapture, and it won't take them too long to realize that all of the "space alien abduction" theories and the rest just don't add up. It is then that they'll finally be open to the Word, and will read all of the books, and print-outs we keep at our home--in a special place, just for them.

Do we long for them to come Home to their Lord before the rapture? Of course! But we believe that--if they miss it--they will remember what we've shared and come to the Lord in faith, trusting in Him for salvation and His mercy and protection during the tribulation.

Keep praying, and believing that our Lord loves them even more than you can! The Holy Spirit--the "Hound of Heaven"--will draw them to the Lord--

God bless!
Jan
