Jesus said whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe in Him is condemned already because they have not believed in the name of G-d’s one and only Son. (John 3:18). And because of their stubbornness and unrepentant heart are storing up wrath against themselves for the day of G-d's wrath (Romans 2:5) and will be without excuse when they stand before G-d in judgment (Romans 1:18-32). No one is going to be mocking G-d when they stand before Him in judgment. It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living G-d (Hebrews 10:31).

Are you addressing this to atheists or other Christians? For if you are addressing this to Christians your wasting your time as they already know this, your general idea is a very basic concept. If you are addressing this to atheists your wasting your time yet again as we could not care less what the Bible, Koran, Book of Mormon, or any other such literature says outside a cultural study

I was not addressing any one particular, whether Christian or not. I was simply pointing out what the Scriptures had to say on the matter. And sharing the message of the Gospel or what the Scriptures teach about certain matters is not a waste of my time.

As for myself, I spent a lot of my life denying, ignoring, blaspheming the Author of all good things, acting in ways that alienated me from Him, and resisting any suggestions of re-orienting my ways to His ways.

Thankfully, by a miracle of grace, I saw that I was befriending the forces of Hell and acting contrary to any expectation of goodness (either in the here and now or the hereafter), that I was in need of God's saving mercy and forgiveness, and I received His Salvation, accepting Jesus as Lord of my life.


i love this because it not only shows humility, but acceptance of reality... awareness of the soul's condition. Some people seem to be SO in denial about the condition of their own soul... (sometimes myself as well, of course)

Of course sometimes i think those people are not so much clueless as wanting to come across to others as being... virtually perfect or whatever...
