Gr> So I'll ask it again. Of all the choices for belief, why should
Gr> anybody believe as you do?
I'll turn it around...why should anybody believe as you do??
Gr> First off, you now are claiming to know the mind of god and what it
Gr> wants. You have no idea if it wants robot worshipers or not. That is
Gr> your personal addition to the narrative.
I do NOT know the mind of God. All I know of Him is what is clearly
stated in His Word. And, I've seen more of Him working in my puny life,
that it trumps your statements that "God doesn't exist".
Gr> By choosing to not accept it, you are actually choosing to NOT be a
Gr> robot.
No, if God wanted everyone to accept Him, everyone would have been made
a robot. By giving us the FREE WILL of CHOICE, we can decide whether we
want to accept Him or reject Him. He gave our first parents, Adam and Eve,
everything they could every want or need, in the Garden Of Eden...along
with ONE SIMPLE RULE...ONE SIMPLE PROHIBITION. They only broke it once.
Gr> So that's the morality that the bible teaches us. That you don't have
Gr> to be responsible for your own actions. You can do what ever feels
Gr> good and just ask for forgiveness, then go off and do what ever feels
Gr> good some more. What's to keep you from raping and murdering and
Gr> coveting and cheating your fellows? Nothing! You've been forgiven! I
Gr> believe thats what the indulgences were all about, right?
WRONG!! The Bible said that "If anyone is in Christ, they are a new creature.
Old things are passed away, and all things are become new".
Continuous, unbroken tolerance of sinful behavior should lead someone to
question whether or not they have been reborn spiritually. Jesus Christ told
one of the Pharisees that "unless a man has been born again, they can not
see the Kingdom Of God".
Saying that you can sin, confess, get forgiven, and keep doing the evil
behavior in a never ending cycle, is making a mockery of The Blood Of Jesus
Christ. You are trampling it underfoot as something worthless. Satan has
deceived the majority of mankind into believing that:
1) He doesn't exist.
2) You can do whatever you want, good or evil...even if it hurts someone
else, But, he doesn't tell you that payments (the wages of sin) don't come due
until death and Hell.
3) The preaching of The Cross is foolishness.
Jeremiah 17:9 is right -- "the heart of man is desperately wicked, and no
one know the extent of the depravity".
Those who have accepted Christ still have their "sin nature"...but they
also have a "new nature", that of wanting to live a life pleasing to God.
The "sin nature" doesn't disappear until death, or Rapture. It's like having
to deal with bad breath, body odor, and the other ills of this corruptible
flesh.
One day, the believers On Jesus Christ will have a new resurrection body,
like the one that The Lord Jesus Christ had after His Resurrection. It will
never grow old, get sick, be in pain, gain weight, need to eat, sleep, heed
the call of nature, or deal with the curse of sin...having the vigor of
eternal youth. On the other hand, unbelievers will have a corruptible body
forever, that will forever be in pain and agony.
I know you and others consider these posts as "ravings of a madman". But,
I have done all the "warning" I can do about what's coming. So, anytime you
want these posts dropped, just say so. But, if I stop discussion on the
subject, it means that you have to do so as well.
