Because . . .

Because of my relationship with Jesus, I have freedom to know that God is pleased with me, freedom to sacrifice for others without feeling used, freedom to have a clear conscience, freedom to actually become a good person in the eyes of God, freedom from bitterness, freedom to be gentle toward those who are hostile toward me. I have freedom to submit to others from a position of inner strength and confidence, and I have the freedom to not only experience grace from God, but the freedom to extend that grace to others.

  1. "Because of my relationship with Jesus, I have freedom to know that God is pleased with me,"

    You cannot know that...

    "freedom to sacrifice for others without feeling used,"

    No need to believe in a god for that...

    "freedom to have a clear conscience,"

    You obviously do NOT have a clear conscience

    "freedom to actually become a good person in the eyes of God,"

    Oh so noe YOU are a good person? but we are ALL sinners right? Nobody is good?

    "freedom from bitterness,"

    Haha...

    "freedom to be gentle toward those who are hostile toward me."

    You're gentle? if by gentle you mean intolerant prick who thinks he has some special knowledge of what's good and wrong, yes, you are gentle...

    "I have freedom to submit to others from a position of inner strength and confidence,"

    You're weak and lack confidence; you're scared and dilusional.

    "and I have the freedom to not only experience grace from God, but the freedom to extend that grace to others."

    Bullshit, you have no such freedom, you only pretend that THE ONLY way for salvation is YOUR way.

    Arrogant fool. If your God were real, you would be the first one in Hell.

  2. "you only pretend that THE ONLY way for salvation is YOUR way."

    Not my way, Jesus' way.

  3. "Not my way, Jesus' way. "

    That's your way, your interpretation, you label it like that because you suffer from disillusions, or perhaps we can say it's yours and several people's view, but it's still PEOPLE's views. Not all Christians agree, not all theists agree, nobody agrees. YOU think you got THE way, and you have no evidence for that. You feel good about it, therfore you conclude it's true.

  4. You can call this my way, or anything you want, but it's what Jesus taught and it's what I believe to be true.

    You are free to reject it.

    John 3:18 - Whoever believes in Jesus is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.

    Mark 16:16 - Jesus said, “Those who believe and are baptized will be saved but those who refuse to believe will be condemned.”

    John 1:12,13 Jesus said, “Unless you are born again, you can never get into the kingdom of heaven.” There is no eternal doom awaiting those who trust Him to save them. But those who don’t trust Him have already been tried and condemned for not believing in the only Son of God.

    John 5:24 - Jesus said, “I say emphatically that anyone who listens to My message and believes in God who sent me has eternal life and will NEVER be damned for his sins. He has crossed from death into life.”

    John 8:24 - Jesus said, “For unless you believe that I am the Son of God, the Messiah, you will die in your sins.”

    Romans 3:27,28 - Our acquittal is not based on our good deeds, it is based on what Christ has done and our faith in Him. So it is we are saved, by faith in Christ and not by the good things we do.

    Romans 9:32 - Because they were trying to be saved by keeping the law and being good instead of by depending on faith, they have stumbled over that great stumbling stone, Jesus.

    Galatians 2:19 - It was through reading the Scriptures that I came to realize that I could never find God’s favour by trying and failing to obey the law. I came to realize that acceptance with God comes by believing in Christ.

    1st Thessalonians 1:8,9 - The Lord Jesus will bring judgement on those who do not wish to know God and those who reject His plan to save them through our Lord Jesus Christ. They will be punished in everlasting hell, forever separated from the Lord, never to see the glory of His power.

  5. Jesus is ready and willing to save child molesters, rapists, murderers, liars and thieves, but he does not save those that do not believe in him, even if they have not committed a crime or offense against another human being.
