Everyone is a sinner. We do things that are wrong and we don%26#039;t do things that we know are right. We think wicked thoughts and imagine horrid acts. If we did the things we thought, we%26#039;d all be in jail. Now if someone offered to freely pay our credit card debt we would let him. Yet people reject the Lord Jesus Christ who freely paid our sin debt.
Why would a person refuse the gift of eternal life? Jesus paid for sins with his shed blood so that those who receive him as Saviour can avoid hell and spend eternity in heaven. He only asks that a person believe on him. If someone gives you a birthday gift would you refuse it? Why refuse the gift of God? Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Rom 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Get saved today!
Why wouldn%26#039;t you ask the Lord Jesus Christ (who died and rose for you) to save you from your sins?construction loans

First one would have to believe that they have original sin that we are born with. If they do not believe this then they don%26#039;t see them self with original sin. Second they would have to believe that they are sinning for them to be sinning. So if one does not look at mistakes as Sin then they are not sinning. I for one am one of these people that do not believe in it. So i believe my inherited nature is not sin but to be Good. and i consider myself a good person, I also see that we need to make mistakes so we can learn from them. How does one know who they are with out knowing who they are not. and no i am not talking about moral issues here. For we all know that killing, raping, stealing and such are wrong. I am talking about honest mistakes. I also do not see God as a God to be feared but to be loved. I do not worry about judgment day because that day wont come. Our God is not separate from us. We are all one in the same. So God couldn%26#039;t very well send God%26#039;s Self to hell. now can God.

Because there%26#039;s absolutely no proof that he even existed.|||why would you force your own personal thoughts and opinions, which have no proof of being correct, onto those whom do not wish to hear your lies?|||I would NOT let anyone else pay my debts! I have more self-respect than that.|||Because maybe I think the summation of the meaning of existence is about more than my %26quot;sins%26quot;.|||--
What if the god that really exists sends all good people to heaven and all bad people to hell except people who pretended to know for a fact another god existed? then all good atheists are going to heaven but YOU ARE GOING STRAIGHT TO HELL. Why not repent when you still have time? Why risk eternity in hell?
And how can you worship a sadistic god that tortures good people - most of the people who ever lived - for all eternity?
Pascal%26#039;s wager:
%26quot;If god exists, it%26#039;s infinitely better to believe, since you get heaven instead of hell for eternity. If he doesn%26#039;t, it doesn%26#039;t matter since you%26#039;re dead anyway. So overall it%26#039;s better to believe%26quot;
This is, of course, false.
Some of the problems with the argument:
* The implied assumption that god may exist (with a 50% probability, no less!)
* The assumption that there is an afterlife with a heaven and hell
* The assumption that the god cares about belief in him/her above all else
* The assumption that if you believe in a god, it will definitely be the same god that actually exists.
* The assumption that you lose nothing if it%26#039;s false. You have lost a great deal, from time praying to a nonexistent entity (some people pray several hours a day!!!) to morality (your god may ask you to hurt other people) and much more besides.
* The assumption that people can believe in something simply because it benefits them. Would you believe goblins exist for twenty bucks? Why not?
* The assumption that any god won%26#039;t see through the %26quot;believing just to get into heaven%26quot; ploy.

Romans 3:11 says no one understands him, no one is seeking after God. Verse 18 says they have no fear. If they have no fear they have no wisdom. And that is why you are a sinner. Jesus came for the sinner, NOT THE RIGHTEOUS. Become Righteous so Jesus does not have to take the fall for you.|||I have and I did. There is NO reason for me not to.. What do I have to lose if I am wrong? (which I am not)... I have NOTHING to lose. But what do those who do not ask Jesus to save them, they have everything to lose.|||You are so whack.|||Even if I did believe that Jesus was anything more than a historical figure, why would I? I never asked anyone to die for my sins. Any sins, real or imagined, that I may commit, I committed. Why would I want that guilt? Why would you want to circle a religion around that guilt? I tried to believe it, but...it just doesn%26#039;t work.
Besides, I am quite happy with my gods.|||Because some people dont need someone else to free us from sin, forgive us for our sins, whatever. If some thing I did is wrong and it was something considered a %26quot;sin%26quot;. Why isnt it enough to feel guilty about it, do something good to make up for it, and then be able to forgive myself? Why do I need God to forgive me?
If God is really a good person, I believe he would just see that you are a good person, and not care whether you believed in him or not. It would make him kind of self-centered if he would let a good person go to hell just because they dont believe in him.|||I don%26#039;t ask him because I do not believe that he is God.

When you can do that, we%26#039;ll talk. Until then, your god, and your jesus, is imaginary and they did nothing.|||I have. I agree with Leesha: I have got nothing to lose but you guys should try to talk to God and ask him to come into your life. The Bible guarantees a happier life if you do.|||You assume everyone believes Jesus lived and that the myth of Christianity is actually true. Look, Christianity is dying out as a religion. There are less Christians now than there were 10 years ago. Shouldn%26#039;t that show you that your religion that you perceive is true is being replaced by Islam or other religions?|||Way to preach the gospel brother鈥?have you ever done that open air?
