Interesting. What if:if you are a born- again christian then you can not lose your salvation. Once you are saved, you are always saved.
He didn't guide me back to the fold. What gives?If you wander ,as a christian ,The Lord loving guides you back into His fold.
Yes, I never got that. Why didn't we wash away everyone's sins, rather than just the sins of his believers? It seems rather arbitrary for an omnipotent being, don't you think?We are not saved because of any righteousness of our own , but because of Jesus righteousness. Christians are clothed in Jesus righteousness. We are one with Jesus , and are accepted and forgiven because Jesus blood has washed our sins away.

I'm not concerned about salvation, I'm concerned about how, if I was given such sure and certain evidence, I managed to go and become an atheist?
He wants you to choose. all free will ultimately flows from this one choice: to follow God or not. Everything done is directly tied back to this question. He's not going to violate your free will with something that directly resembles this question, the question itself.Yes, I never got that.

Why?He wants you to choose.
Nonsense. He allegedly manifested as Jesus Christ. He could only interfere more by tapping into our minds.all free will ultimately flows from this one choice: to follow God or not.

It is one of several monotheistic religions prevalent in the West. It is notable for its size and its bloody history, but not much else.i'm just curious, you are a wiccan, how do you view Christianity?
Personally? Paul had an epileptic fit, hallucinated Jesus etc, wrote it down, and formed Christianity. The other gospels were retroactively written.what do you think causes it?
I think it is big because it was made the state religion of Roman Empire. If Constantine had made Mithrasism the state religion of the Empire, then Mithrasism would be as popular today as Christianity is. It formed in the right place at the right time, I believe.Why do you think it's so big?
a) because we can see God's handiwork all around us. b) because God reveals Himself to Christians, graciously, by The Holy Spirit.
Nah, we've already established why drifter5's post is wrongOkay, but OP I would really suggest that you read a book on apologetics because there is so, so, so much more to this thing.
Fascinating and irresistable reasoning. I am already convinced.The truth is still The Truth whether one chooses to believe it or not. God exists , and this is The Truth.

See, I can make logically unsound and philosophically unconvincing arguments, too.
Excuse me - what does this mean , please ?
what argument would you like , please ?It's a kind of code for "that wasn't convincing at all." It started off as sarcasm, but now it's far too obvious to count, in most cases. It tends to be used when a theist asserts their veracity and provides no argument - as you have done.
Any logical argument justifing your claims.what argument would you like , please ?
Anything beyond mere claims would do, for starters.what argument would you like , please ?
