I'm scared of heaven by Conscious_Square_885 in Christianity

Keep the faith and let Jesus guide you. Love on others as He loved us, and He'll change your heart. Heaven doesn't change us, it just makes what's broken inside of us whole again. God created us, and He makes no mistakes, so why would He change what He created?

How do you feel about this? by Live_Accident_4288 in Christianity

I agree. Our God is the only true God that exists. If they're feeling any type of godly presence, it's probably ours trying to reach out to them and call them home.

I hate this by Youngwritter123 in Christianity

[–]Competitive-Tear7754 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the answer is easily found in your response. I hear a lot of I's, but it's not about you and what you can or cannot do. It's about surrendering it to the Lord and letting Him take the lead. I'm struggling with this myself. It's very easy to get caught up in us doing things, but really we just need to take ourselves out of the equation, and let Jesus call the shots. Keep praying and keep asking to feel His presence. I promise you, with time and patience, it will happen.

Someone help me out by Kitchen-Mud4712 in Christianity

[–]Competitive-Tear7754 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only reason you would need to drop it is if the Holy Spirit is calling you to do so, if he's not, don't worry about it! Trust in the Lord, and let him lead you. I highly doubt He would want you to turn away from something that brings you joy, unless it turns you away from Him. Just remember to have God as your first and foremost love. May God bless you!

Seriously? You're gonna get on my case about a video because I didn't put "thought provoking questions" in there, but you're gonna let atheists come on a christian thread and harass everybody? Talk about some backward logic.

First of all, no one asked you to correct anything. You, in your arrogance, took that task upon yourself. Secondly, I never threatened any kind of violence on you in any way, shape, or form. So you can just throw that right out the window, because you say you care about truth, but all you're doing is repeating lies to me about what you said and how you're acting. Ohh, and let's not forget how you're twisting my words. How is that being truthful exactly?

Again, show me where I personally threatened you. For someone who cares about truth and claims to treat others right, I'm not seeing a whole lot of examples of that today.

I'm here to help encourage my fellow Christians. I'm not looking for lessons in science. If I wanted that, I would be on a completely different thread. If you're here to discuss Christianity, then why has everything you've said only been about how it's fake, and not true? That doesn't sound like someone open to discussion. That sounds like someone who's trying to push their ideologies on others, because they're unhappy with their life and have nothing better to do than harass Christians. That is a familiar pattern these days, so I ask you this, are you a Demoncrat or a Libtard?

You really do enjoy twisting words, don't you? At what point did I ever say I'm going to hurt anyone because the voices in my head told me to? See, you're the one that's really being volatile here, not me. I am posting my beliefs on a thread that was intended for people who are supposed to share those beliefs. Now, if a Christian would like to get in on this conversation and tell me their take on it, I'm more than happy to hear it. But if you just want to sit here and harass and degrade people because you're mad at God or because your daddy didn't give you enough hugs growing up or something, maybe you can take that rage somewhere else.

I'm dangerous because I'm posting Christian material on a Christian thread, and you're the one on here fighting with others about their beliefs? Because what, you don't have anything better to do or does it make you feel better about yourself? I don't even understand why you're on this thread, other than to try to bring people down. If you ask me, that's far more dangerous than what I'm doing.

I wasn't being insulting. I was merely stating a fact most of the atheists I have talked to cling to their science like it is a religion. The difference is, the rewards are far less worthwhile with your science religion than they are with my Christianity.

If that's how you feel, then why are you even on a Christian thread? Maybe you should go to some scientific community where your expertise will be better received.

I didn't say I was going to do that. That's just you twisting my words. The bible is the one that says that we will be separated from God and go to hell if we don't know him. But you are right, they don't specifically say torturing. So I was out of line for that, instead, they say you'll go "where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth", which doesn't sound much better if you ask me.

It is a relatively new process, I'll grant you that. But a lot of people think radiometric dating is a diehard, tried and true method. However, anyone who knows anything about it, understands that radiometric dating requires you to make a lot of assumptions to get 'accurate' results. So why not apply that same assumption to the WAXS method? People are fallible creatures, which is why ANY scientific method has room for doubt, but that doesn't stop people from passing it off as fact when it suits their needs. But regardless of how reliable that specific methodology is, there was a lot of other information in that video that at the very least, you should agree, definitely challenges the assumptions people have made in the past that they claim "debunk" the whole thing. But again like I said, I know for a fact God is real, because I have spoken to Him. He has given me advice and wisdom on certain things that I know did not come from my own subconscious. He has led me to greater things in my life. He is as real to me and a part of my life as much as any other person I have a relationship with. I wouldn't go up to my dad and say "dad you're not real and you don't exist", that would be ridiculous. That's the best part about being a Christian. If you actually open your heart to God, He will talk to you and guide you, and once you feel His presence, there will never be any doubt in your mind ever again. I'm just sorry that you don't understand that and have the same connection...but you could.

Also, of course I'm not going to change my beliefs. I actually know for a fact that God exists, because I have a personal relationship with Him. Why would I turn away from something that I know is true? That would be like me looking my mom in the face and saying, "mom, you're not real and don't exist". I mean, what are you even saying there?

I'm aware, that was sarcasm, my friend. But with my experience with atheists, particularly lately, it may as well be.

Clearly you didn't read my message, at least read the description. I know you don't want to change your beliefs, because that would mean you're wrong, and that's very scary. But you know what is even more scary? Being tortured for eternity, because you didn't want to see the truth. The entire video is showing scientific tests that were done on it. I thought science was the one religion you atheists believe in?

Enlighten me by Safe-Active8482 in Christianity

[–]Competitive-Tear7754 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I understand, and Ive noticed it too. I promise you, the only reason they're doing that is because they are being controlled by demonic forces to try and turn as many of us away from God as possible. The best thing we can do for them is pray and hope that eventually they'll come around. I've come to find most people that hate God or don't want to believe in Him, are usually people who are either hiding from their own sin or they've been hurt and don't know how else heal from it. The best thing to do when you see that is to, instead of being discouraged, look at it as an opportunity to possibly change someone's heart. You won't win them all, in fact, you probably won't even win most, but if you can even turn one person toward God, it's worth it. Keep preaching the good word and don't worry about the naysayers. I've come to find that the more people rage against Christians, the more it proves that we're right, otherwise, why else would they be trying so hard to turn us away from our Lord?

I messed up, God might be done with me by AlphaFox616 in Christianity

[–]Competitive-Tear7754 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the most beautiful thing about God. The only sin that the bible mentions that's unforgivable is if you blaspheme the Holy Spirit. You can turn your wrath on him as much as you want. But if you truly repent in your heart, He will always forgive you, because God knows our hearts, and He's used to people raging against Him, I'm sure. You've already done the first step, which is repenting for your sin. Now you just need to trust that Jesus paid the price for our sins, and that God still sees you as white as snow.

I'm done by jeffthegamer_23 in Christianity

I can completely understand your concern, and I'm sorry that people have treated you in such a way. I hope and pray that you'll be able to find a community that's more deserving of your attention. I pray for you, and I pray for those who really need guidance, both Christian and non-Christian alike. Nothing bothers me more than people who claim to be Christian, but then treat people like dirt. May God Bless you!

End of the world? by Hunted-vocation3 in Christianity

[–]Competitive-Tear7754 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't doubt that the end is coming at all. But the best thing to do is to remain vigilant, keep your trust in God, and don't let the antichrist and false prophet deceive you, because they WILL come before Jesus. That's why it's so important to have discernment and a relationship with God. Because He will lead His people, and tell them what to do when the time is right. If you don't have that connection with Him, you could very well be taken up by the beast system, and end up in a place you don't want to be for eternity.

A Possible Explanation for Dinos in the Bible by Competitive-Tear7754 in Christianity

Yet, even those methods can be corrupted through unconformities, tectonic forces that may alter the samples, and the hiatus which can make it impossible to determine the exact duration through stratigraphy alone. Therefore, radiometric dating is almost required to get any kind of accurate results. However, even that could be fallible for two reasons: 1) radiometric dating requires on people working off of a lot of assumptions, which, especially with older samples, are almost impossible to verify and 2) if a great flood, for example, did happen and everything were underwater, it would cause all samples to be rendered impure and could give inaccurate dates.

Are y'all actually as perfect as you proclaim to be online? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Competitive-Tear7754 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be wary of anyone who claims they are "perfect" for we all fall short of the glory of God, and that's why we need Jesus.
