Jordan Mays = consol-_- AV doesn't believe that an afterlife will happen just because he believes in it, don't be silly. Very few theists or atheists are so self-centered and stupid as to think their personal beliefs actually influence whether or not there is an afterlife of any sort.
Have you ever thought about this? what if there is a God and he is trying to weed out the gullible who are prepared to believe something without any evidence what so ever and only take into heaven the people who think for themselves?That's why God is not going to accept any bologna scientific reasoning behind why someone didn't get saved before he died.
Everything from I NEVER KNEW YOU to I NEVER SAW ANY EVIDENCE FOR YOU is going out the door.
Even I THOUGHT ABOUT GETTING SAVED UNTIL I STARTED READING AV1611'S POSTS isn't going to cut it.
I'm not but what if I was? does consol ask you soul searching questions? does he make you think about things you would rather not think about?Jordan Mays = consol
Gosh darn it, he just can't stay away, can he?Jordan Mays = consol
You mean like Satan?Have you ever thought about this? what if there is a God and he is trying to weed out the gullible who are prepared to believe something without any evidence what so ever and only take into heaven the people who think for themselves?
Words in a book can not change what nature has ordained will happen when we die.1 Thessalonians 4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
You can't keep an arsonist from his matches.Gosh darn it, he just can't stay away, can he?
That's why God is going to do it.Words in a book can not change what nature has ordained will happen when we die.
I cannot prove a negative no matter how hard I try so I'm not going to try.Sure you're not.
And I'm Genghis Khan.
Ugh, it is not the words that are the cause, but they are intended to be an account of events. The theory of evolution itself doesn't cause populations of species to change over time and generations, but is an explanation of the observation. That's kinda the gist of the bible, explaining supposed events, not causing them. Do I find the bible to be an accurate depiction of the past or a good predictor of the future? No, but at least I have some understanding of what the text tries to do.Words in a book can not change what nature has ordained will happen when we die.
How do you know that Satan is not the good one? who does the most killing in the Bible? who keeps saying, love me or I will kill you? I don't think it's Satan.You mean like Satan?
Science is myopic.I cannot prove a negative no matter how hard I try ...
This might be hard to believe, but adults are more easily deceived than children.I would say this: any person has the capacity, at least at some point in their life, to convert to Christianity if they are exposed to the religion. However, that capacity measurably decreases as we get older, making the easiest converts children. Hence why I can try to convert for almost 9 years now and still not believe, but a 5 year old child could be a believer.
There are some negatives you can prove. Heck, I can even prove AV isn't Genghis Khan in terms that even he would accept as proof.I cannot prove a negative no matter how hard I try so I'm not going to try.
Words can only change minds not reality and death is the final arbiter no matter how much we wish it wasn't.Ugh, it is not the words that are the cause, but they are intended to be an account of events.

-_- how many adults believe in Santa Claus compared to children? If you are arguing that adults are easier to spiritually deceive than children, I would have to disagree, since it is just as easy to convert a child to Hinduism as it is Christianity. What harder with adults is to get them to change, since people don't usually stay entirely undecided in terms of spirituality into adulthood.This might be hard to believe, but adults are more easily deceived than children.
That's the reason why Jesus said this:
"I tell you the truth, unless you are converted and become like little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven." -- (Matt 18:3).
I've heard enough from his disciples that I think I can ascertain who is the good one.How do you know that Satan is not the good one?
In the Bible, God does.Jordan Mays said:who does the most killing in the Bible?
I give up ... who?Jordan Mays said:who keeps saying, love me or I will kill you?
I hope not, or you'd hearing voices from him!Jordan Mays said:I don't think it's Satan.
It's exactly what a con man would say and when did Jesus write that passage in the Bible?That's the reason why Jesus said this:
"I tell you the truth, unless you are converted and become like little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven." -- (Matt 18:3).
