That is true, but I was just addressing the Christians who think too highly of themselves. They need to get off their lazy ass and do some research and prep for the end times instead of just waiting for somebody to save them. There’s a lot of them out there. |

There's nothing wrong with the gospel of jesus, he was one of the great prophets in past times. Modern day Christians have.... issues. Not all, but some are just...wayyyy out there. Not exactly practicing what they preach. Not nearly enough critical thinking in some groups, the more radical evangelicals, are akin to terrorists in my mind. The vatican are basically pure evil as well. Good in small pockets. Prosthletysing, picketing, and trying to convert people... judging others... not very Christian sometimes. Hey, great, go do charity in africa or Syria by all means. Dont even get me started on the mormons. |

If you die today, and realize you were wrong, would you be able to admit you were not the chosen one? After all, you’re dead now. All the people you told about being the chosen one think you went to heaven. And they likewise will repeat the same mistake. And it goes on and on forever. Quoting: CopyNinja87 Do you understand? I’m not saying you’re wrong and don’t have a special purpose. You might or might not be special, it just depends on what you do in life to prove it. Simply being alive does not make you special. The whole point of me talking so much about this topic is because you must take control of your own life. Don’t resign to fate because “God is watching over you.” That is just a bunch of nonsense. There is knowing Christ Jesus and there is not knowing Him. Anyone who doesn't know Him is already useless. Anyone who knows Him, already knows their own life is nothing. Your argument is dumb. |

In fact they even call themselves lambs. Which is another name for sheep. |

Dont even get me started on the mormons. Interesting discussion but just a few comments. First, you state that Jesus "was one of the great prophets in past times". Alot of people think he was a good man/prophet/etc. Here is the problem with that logic. Going just on Jesus' OWN WORDS when he stated things like "I am the way, no man can come to the Father but by me", and "he that believes in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live", so forth and so on, HIS OWN WORDS, you are left with just two choices: either Jesus was exactly who he said he was, the Savior, or he was a lunatic. No in between, no comfortable politically correct middle ground. Just those two choices. Second point, I agree some Christians are "wayyy out there". Just like alot of non-christians I see. We are NOT perfect, although some seem to try to act like they are. God knows I'm not, but I simply try to live my life in a way that would please the one who is perfect and try to treat others the way I would like to be treated. Am I successful all the time? NOPE. Do I royally screw up at times? YEP. But I try. My last point: you criticize Christians for "judging others". You are correct, some Christians have a bad habit of judging others, but many don't. Before you judge Christians too harshly, look in the mirror and ask the person you see, what would happen if I were to die and find out that Christians were right, and the person who posted the question on this original thread, "realize you were wrong", was himself in error? |

If I say to you "You should convert to Christianity" You are free to say "No thanks!" and move on with your day. If I say to you, with a cigarette in my mouth, "You should not smoke..." You should probably not smoke. You should SURELY not deicde "Well, that sonofabitch is smoking so how dare he tell me not to! Give me a pack, please!" But first and foremost, if you're going to try to dissect a belief system, you should really understand what that belief system actually is, versus what you THINK you know about it.

The 'body of Christ' is neither Hebrews nor Greeks. Revelation 7:9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; I am a humble Servant of the one True Living God. |
