So, You've Met Jesus?
"Let me just say, that NO MAN convinced me to believe.
I just MET Jesus Christ."
I copied these words from a post in order to ask any believer here who claims to have met Jesus to send him to me or any other non-believer here. Obviously, if some of you folks are so adamant to evangelize Christianity and make converts, wouldn't meeting Jesus Christ be the best way to make an ardent believer out of a non-believer.
So, send Jesus my way and I promise with every fiber of my being to join Christianity and spread the word.
And, of course, you don't have to take my word for it that I did or did not meet Jesus, he'll simply tell you himself.
Obviously, for many believers and non-believers alike, that has not worked. I've read many stories here of believers seeking Jesus but never finding him, hence they give up their beliefs or turn to another religion.
Then, why are they evangelizing Christianity? Aren't they already doing the legwork?
It is likely you will find very few non-believers who will not be open to seeing Jesus, or any other god, for that matter. That is the very crux of their attention to religions, show me your god and I will believe as you do.
No testimony of Jesus is worthless!
Thanks for your inputAll the testimonies speak in the same spirit and truth of Jesus- For He has risen and is alive and able to help all who will come unto him.
All speak and declare his power and love in some way!
God bless you Emily!
Hi Beelzedad!
I respect the fact that you have a desire to know if all the testimonies of Jesus are real. Since you do hold the desire to know if He is real I know that Jesus is going to reveal Himself to you. I am just telling you what on my heart- only God can confirm these words to you- by 2-3 witnesses this will be revealed to you.
I am bold yes to say this but God will back this up because He put it in my heart.
This comes to my memory-
All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and [he] to whomsoever the Son will reveal [him].Matt 11:27
I have also prayed for you in your quest for truth- have a great day!Sorry, I don't buy that either, simply on the premise that many people do good things without a belief in Jesus.
So far, all we have are excuses from believers. No one appears to be able to tell Jesus (even though they have met him and talk with him) to simply pay me a visit and reveal himself as he has done to those who make that claim.
No takers?So, unless we think like you do we are doomed? I'll take doomed any day of the week!
And if you don't follow my god Moe, all of your descendants will be born naked.
I hope not! My idea of hell would be spending eternity listening to you and HeBo spout your nonsense! Fire and brimstone seems almost pleasant in comparison!
I do admit, they do risk the occasional cheeky joke from the peanut gallery (me). I am not quite able to take anything seriously enough not to make jokes about it
For me this is just a bit of fun, if I am looking to do real good in this world, worrying about peoples beliefs on invisible super beings is not where I start. Instead I find ways to doing real good, like risking my safety (you would be surprised how many times I have been within an inch of being hit by speeding cars) on the roads to keep children safe on their way to school. I give time or money to charity, that sort of thing, not arguing with people to 'save their souls' (while more often then not taking a crap on their actual lives, metaphorical speaking of course)
Yep I agree about doing good without believing in Jesus.
To conclude, we all have our differing beliefs about Jesus and religion serves a different purpose in our lives. Maybe Jesus will appear to you one day and reveal his purpose here on earth but again, maybe not and then you'll never know the true meaning of religion and why believers believe what they do!
Lead you to water???
"
You don't even want to hear the invitation, let alone follow anyones lead.Did you not learn in grade school that words can have more than one definition?
This the one on the mimddisorders.com medical site.
Eventhough there are several definitions of this word, you seem to prefer the one that you found as the correct one...and for what?...because it supports your attack. Furthermore, I found another definition as well.
psychosis--any major mental disorder of organic or emotional origin, marked by derangement of the personality and loss of contact with reality, often with delusions, hallucinations or illusions.
Ref: http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictio … otic+break
Thanks for your imput.
BTW, It is apparent that you deleted your profile...created a new one...then decided it was time to settle an old score? Just curious!
Stop being so angry. Just because you want to be a non-believer and a believer must be very stressful. It must be tearing the psyche apart. Not sure. I don't know you.And, I notice the definition you are posting now also doesn't support your attack. Out of everywhere I looked, I couldn't find the original one you used, thus the suspicious question.
You are most welcome.
Thanks for being curious and checking my profile. I'm flattered, but I thought we were supposed to update the information occasionally. I noticed another hubber did, so I tried to share a little more personal information. If that is against the rules, I'd be interested in knowing why they have the update profile option.
I'm not angry. I assumed you were. If you aren't, that might actually be a bigger problem.
Just take that to any psychologist and ask him/her their thoughts on (an average
) Christian.
I think 99%+ will be found to be "normal", well balanced rational, loving, caring people.
I'm surprised you can get out of bed each day, with your overload of judgmentality and prejudices.
I hope one day your little world will increase, and you will be able to see past your own nose.
Then, send him my way the next time you have a chat, thanks.
Then, I await your Jesus and his calling me out as a doubter. Still waiting. And yes, to meet someone requires the physical.
Delusional are those who have not seen yet believe.
Will there be anything in those hubs that is any different from the beliefs you've offered here? If so, then what's the point of reading them?
But, I'll give you benefit of the doubt and meet your request, in the physical. In other words, you actually want me to read them as opposed to not seeing them and just believe those words are there, right?Oh well.
I did have some glimmer of hope you were genuine.
I see you are still up to your usual smug self.
If I get any messages for you, I'll be sure to let you know!
I just explained that doesn't work. And, if we went by your reasoning, then there isn't any point in Christians evangelizing Christianity.
Ah yes, here come the lame excuses. It's all my fault that I haven't met Jesus. Give it a rest, pal.
No, you're not. For example, this is not a fact:
"You know how you should act, the laws of God are etched upon the hearts of mankind..."
So, put away your lame excuses and kindly allow those who have met Jesus to introduce him to the rest of us. Thanks.
Oh, I thought you were doing "The Shadow."
Not another Einstein adoption!
Do we have to drag all that out again?
Einstein, despite what the religionist web site you chose told you he said, was NOT a religionist.Have a little patience, Earnest! You know it always takes a little time to straighten out the fundies. You know the routine!
I invited him round for dinner, he never showed
You mean THE CREATOR was Swedish?! How come nobody knew this?
Living in a society that has religion embedded. many non-believers have already done the "born again" I met Jesus thing.
I guess they just grew up and learned how to tell the difference between indoctrination and real thought.No contradictions here!
Great list, Earnest! I doubt the "Scrammer"( scripture spammer) will address this example of the many contradictions attributed to the invisible dude. I was hoping you or someone would post the scripture stating it was wrong for a woman to speak publicly about the religion.
Thanks Earnest! The scrammer ladies always leave that one out for some reason.
By the way, sending you that shipload of Baptists worked! We've had almost 3 inches of rain in the last few days. I hope they help you guys get dried out a bit.That is so good! We had far too much rain.
We needed the rain earlier, we managed to drown the Baptists by telling then they could walk on water.HA! Works every time!
An old idea perhaps, but it works every time! They never learn
Well, I learn from the religious posters. I quote from the one that suits my argument.
Before you do, you may have to have at least a clue how it works. Your understanding of evolution is at the level of a 10 year old.
Well I don't do religion or gods. How ya doin?
I'll see your IQ and raise you your hubscore!
So who created Satan? And who tempted him? I'll give you one guess!
The scriptures said God created him perfect. Without a flaw, in other words. Are you suggesting your god's flawless creation wasn't completely perfect? Blasphemy!
You must be one of them inteelektuals! I never realised it was that simple. Makes perfect sense.
Yes, that's the ticket!
Yes, I know the myth well MP. The fundies down here had rather refer to him as Satan instead. So explain how a perfect being, created by a perfect god, could suddenly become imperfect to the extent he succumbed to temptation from_____? You fill in the blank!
I though god made him perfect. Perfect cannot be imperfect no matter how one spins it. Are you suggesting god didn't know he was creating an imperfect perfect being?
If Lucifer was perfect then he had no chance at being tempted. Unless god wanted him to be of course, but then the whole "god knows everything" spiel sorta banishes that thought out.Awww but why would he do that? It wouldn't be any fun for the sadist
...and unicorns, leprechauns and the tooth fairy. Why stop at just believing in one fairy tale?
That's quite an interesting rationale you have there, you believe in magical beings as real even though they are invisible and undetectable, yet you don't believe in dinosaurs even though the fossilized remains of them are right in front of you.
That is because humans never evolved from monkeys, that's just silly.
Wow! An invisible super being created the fossilized remains of dinosaurs to cause doubt in believing in an invisible super being. Truly astounding.
Heaven, your justifications are as crazy as the bible text itself.
Black is white, up is down, in is out yet you still can't make the lies look any better no matter how many blind religionists work it over and interpret it.
I have seen this argument played out in full.
The religionists lost by a massive margin.
Would you like a few hundred more to work on?No, it may convince a religionist or a contortionist at least!
No, Satan is obviously running your life for you, you just do not realize it. He has caused you to believe you are speaking for god. How arrogant you are to think that you, of all people, are daring to be the voice of the most powerful force imaginable.
Why you, exactly? There are plenty of other people with much better communication skills who could conceivably copy and paste scripture just as well as you. What a strange god you follow!
- ! good one earnest!
Thank dog!
Most of the religiously impaired seem to be height challenged as well!
The jokes keep going over their heads!
Well, for the record I have read your hubs DJ.
I am always curious about other hubbers and often dig deep in their hubs to know them better.That was directed @ beelz, but thanks. I appreciate it.
Didn't vote me down too harshly, I hope.
I was "tongue in cheek" saying.
I didn't think you were that kind of person.
Kinda a way of payback for trying to wind me up a couple of days ago.Moi?
Surely you jest!
Small blessings! They are not our neighbours.
Imagine that!!I'll have you know I use the freshest banter money can buy! I never shop at the "day old" banter store!
can you get levan banter?
As long as zealots peddle we will meddle!
I can pick em can't I?
Get your fresh leven banter here!
