john 3:16 "FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONE AND ONLY SON,THAT WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHALL NOT PERISH,BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE.(NIV)

john 3:18 "WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM IS NOT CONDEMNED,BUT WHOEVER DOES NOT BELIEVE STANDS CONDEMNED ALREADY BECAUSE HE HAS NOT BELIEVE IN THE NAME OF GOD'S ONE AND ONLY SON."(kiv)
"JESUS- KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS"
 
My only problem is, even if we don;t believe in god and I am not saying that I do our don't, but if we are all gods children then I would think it pretty harsh of him to condemn us for not believing??! Does a parent ever stop loving their children even if the children don;t believe in them?? The likely answer is not.
 
Hope you stop by again.
God bless.

But you are not your childs saviour; you are his parent. We are God's children, and he is our only salvation if we believe in Him. The difference is day and night. Feel His presence. Love Him and let Him into your heart, and you will know.
 
Hello Dwayne2010! If that were true, than Jesus would not have shed His precious blood and beaten body upon the Cross of Calvary that we might be saved! Semperfi did not post the pictures that showed how horrible His death really was! But it was truly a terrible death just to take your place, mine and every sinner's place, for we are all born sinners and need a Savior because of Adam and Eve's committed sins in the Garden of Eden and had to be cast out! Now, salvation is a free gift to save us from eternal death in the Lake of Fire by believing in Jesus' virgin birth, death, living again and arising from a BORROWED TOMB, and His resurrection, as Jesus was not going to stay there or on Earth, for He went back to His throne after 50 days----His tomb is empty!!

We cannot be good enough on our own or do enough good-works to earn our way, no money or any precious thing will gain us a way into Heaven, for there is only one way and that is by accepting Lord Jesus Christ as our own personal Savior, Who will give us complete freedom from the second death by faith believing and following God's Holy Spiritual guidance all the way Home into His glory-land!

You see we are made in God's image but we aren't His Child or adopted into the Family of God as a Jew by being engrafted onto the Olive Tree, until we truly believe in God's only begotten Son, Who in the flesh of man but still fully God took the stripes for all our sins that we MIGHT be saved! It is not Jehovah God's will that any should perish but that all would come to repentance and be with Him eternally! We must choose life or choose death and it is our choice, for God will not force anyone to believe in or follow His beloved Son, Jesus! Now, He will draw you by His Holy Spirit to accept eternal life and not eternal death, but there is only one door into your heart and soul and you must open it yourself and invite Jesus inside and if we really are true believers He will come in and abide with us and we will abide with Him! Then at mortal death our spirit will go back to God Who gave it and then we will get our immortal and incorruptible bodies on Resurrection Day, when the dead and those still alive in Christ rise up by the calling of the Spirit of God within us and meet Him in the air!

As long as we have mortal breath and blood flowing through our veins, we still have a chance to believe in Jesus and be saved from all our sins by confessing them to God and be forgiven of all of them wiith changes made in the way we live! Repentance means to turn around and go a different way (God's righteous way) and not sin willfuly any more! But once we mortally die, there is no more chance to be saved and be with Jesus forever more! Then on Judgement Day the Sinners will be judged guilty of sinning and seen without Jesus' precious blood covering their sins and will be cast away into outer darkness and then death and hell will be cast into the Lake of Fire, which burneth forever and ever with the smoke of their torment rising up unto God, crying for His Holy Spiritual Comforter to come to them, but there is a wide gulf separating the sinners from the God's Children, His faithful saints, so they will have no comfort and never can escape this place of torture and torment in the burning flames with their consciences remembering they could have had a place in Heaven had they believed in Jesus and been saved from their confessed sins to be blessed with joy unspeakable and full of glory instead of being punished!

Honor His Commandments to Love God (Jehovah) only and love one another as He loves us! We do not live by the Laws of the Old Testament any longer, for Jesus came and gave us a new Covenant in the New Testament! Believing faith is a vow we make to God, in Jesus' name, or refusing Him breaks His covenant of salvation to be suffering in punishment! Our Savior, Jesus, died for us by doing what no other god nor man could do, for He was without sin by the Virgin Mary giving Him birth through conceiving by God's Holy Spirit overshadowing her womb, so that the corrupted seed of man would not spoil the purity and holiness of Jesus-----The one and only Savior Who will and can save us by faith beliiving! Seek and ye shall find; ask and ye will receive the absolute truth of His existance! He is still livng and sits upon His throne at the right hand of His Father, God! There is only One God but He is three in one, so really difficult to understand and accept until we are saved and have God's Spirit within us, Who leads us into all truth!

May God Bless you and yours to know the complete truth and way to Heaven, for Jesus is the way, the truth and the life and no one comes to the Father or gets into Heaven but through Him! Amen! :angel: Ma Betty
 
Welcome to the forum Dwayne. God loves you and He has called you to this forum. He wants you to come to Him and accept Him. One day we will face Jesus face to face. Ask Jesus into your life today, as you never know when your last breath will come. If you die without accepting Jesus Christ as your Saviour there is no second chance. We will all spend eternity someplace. Either in Heaven or Hell for eternity, which is forever forever.
 
Hi Dwayne

God does not condemn us for not believing. We are already condemned. The sacrifice and resurrection of His Son is what frees us from that condemnation so we can fellowship with him.

Many people ask how a loving god could send people to hell. Or how He could allow evil to exist? It would be dysfunctional if people who reject God spent eternity with Him. It would also be dysfunctional for God to force people to be good, just as it is dysfunctional for a husband to force his wife or children to love him. God is not dysfunctional. He is righteous. Therefore we are free to accept or reject Him. We spend eternity where we choose.

Good words.
 
Well said by the way!
 
Thank you Dave for posting and for the good words....guess I say the same but in the longer way....We are all born sinners and condemned already....it is the mercy and grace of God Who saves us from being condemned and punished by having believe faith in Jesus! For whosoever will let them come by faith believing in His virgin birth, His death, buriel and resurrection! Thanks again for your post! Come back often when you can! May God Bless! Amen! :angel:
 
Thank you, Bill-De, for posting and glad to have you with us and hope you post often....always good to have another brother in Christ with us! May God Bless! Amen! :angel: Ma Betty
 
May I throw out some controversy and play devils advocate for lack of better words. I mean no disrespect with my comments as we are all free to beleive what we wish.
Suppose you have a person isolated from society, never heard of god, jesus, St Michael or any other saint. They live their life happily ever after until old age hits them and they succomb. Not having a clue about god or anyone else, does this mean that they are condemmned for not beleiveiung in a god and will live forever in the pits of a so called hell?
I look forward to the lengthy responses. I will add that I am a beleiver in god and that there was a man named jesus. I give you all this. I don;t read the bible but live my life by patience and respect of others.
 
You know the Bible says there is no excuse for man not to know there is a God and Savior! Everywhere you look in the Universe and the Earth there are signs given to us to know there is a God, Who intelligently designed all creation! This just didn't happen by a Big Bang! The Star of David appears in an apple, the Sanddollar shows the imprints of God's hands and feet where they werre nailed to the cross, as well as The Dogwood Tree with its White blooms revealing the same! The handiwork of God is seen by those who open their blinded eyes and deaf ears to the truth surrounding them! God reveals Himself to all who want to see and hear, He leaves no one without the truth, even those who may not hear the Gospel of Jesus or have the Bible to read, but God has revealed Himself through His Spirit, for each has been given a measure of faith to believe or not believe! But He also said to go preach to all nations and spread the absolute truth of His written Word and existance to the whole world! The end of this age will not come until all hear the gospel in some way, whether by His beautiful creations revealing Him or by the Word heard by those who will hear! Faith comes by hearing; hearing the Word of God! The ones who loved and obeyed God in the Old Testament before Jesus came and dwelled among men, they were made righteous by living by faith! There is more to that but cannot remember right now!

Do you believe in Heaven? For if there's a Heaven for the Children of God, the saved in Christ, then there is a Hell for all who are unblievers and refuse to accept Jesus as their own personal Savior, Who died in every sinner's place so that we wouldn't have to, by truly believing in His Virgin Birth, His death, burial and resurrection! Like He was caught up to His Father in Heaven, we who truly believe, lean on and trust in Jesus, will be caught up also on Resurrection Day. Those who are left behind will have to die for their faith during the great tribulation and will be killed, but all the lost souls and unbelievers will appear before God's Great White Judgement Throne on Judgement Day! They will bow before Jesus and confess He is Lord, but will not spend eternity with Him in new Jerusalem City as they will be cast into the flaming fires of hell and punished for their unbelief! There is no forgiveness for unbelievers, now, or in the hereafter! Eternity is a long, long never ending time...sooo wouldn't you rather be with Jesus and not with satan the evil tormentor??

There are many who're lost who respect others and you may live by patience for others, but unless you know Jesus as Savior and have His righteousness through His shed blood than you are not saved and your soul is lost and cannot enter into God's gloriuous Kingdom! Amen! Our righteousness is as filthy rags in God's sight!!

I hope you study your Bible and live your life by it, as God's Holy Spiritual leading and guidance is the only way to live your life for Jesus and be resurrected to meet Him in the air and enter the Gates of Heaven with Him! My prayers are with you and family to receive Jesus as your Savior, too!
May God Bless! Amen! :angel: Ma Betty

I hope you don't mind my answering by playing devil's advocate with one of your statements. You say that you believe in god and there was a man named Jesus. If you agree as virtually all historians do that His words recorded in the New Testament are accurate, then Jesus was either the most despicable person ever to walk the planet, a raving lunatic, or the Creator God He claimed to be. Just read every red letter in the NT and you'll see what I mean.

Now look at the evidence. Hundreds if not thousands of people willingly and peacefully went to their death proclaiming His resurrection. Many of these were eyewitnesses of the risen Jesus. Huge numbers of people don't get fed to lions for a lie. The church grew on the blood of martyrs and changed civilization. Also many of the Bible's authors describe themselves as evil, despicable slugs. Just look at Paul. If you're gonna create a fake religion I doubt you'd describe yourself as he did.

Concerning those who haven't heard about Jesus. The Bible teaches that those who seek Him will find Him. And that creation testifies to His existence so there is no excuse. There are volumes written about this you can look at but here's what I think. Again, God is first and foremost righteous, therefore he will not punish the righteous. The problem is that no one is righteous. Only through humbling yourself before your Creator can you be made righteous. In places/times where the Gospel has been preached that takes the form of acknowledging Christ's sacrifice for your sins. In other places/times that may may manifest itself differently. Like maybe a Mayan looking at the human sacrifice around him, realizing it's evil, and praying to that voice in his heart that makes him know that it's evil.

You say you live your life by patience and respect . That's good. But have you ever lied? Then you're a liar. Have you ever stolen? Then you're a thief. Just like me.

I used to think very much like you. I've chosen to accept the overwhelming evidence I've looked at and bow before my Creator and Savior Jesus Christ. I pray that you'll look at that evidence as well.

Remember the Bible is the number one best -seller of all time and the basis for much of the world's criminal justice systems. It changed the world.

It deserves a read.
