The end of the world is at hand. How is you world end now.
lol wow there you go again. putting me down. calling me names and such.
*** You can't imagine and are scared by the concept of ceasing to exist. So you convince yourself that you'll keep on living. Its pretty obvious.***
everybody that has no idea whats going to happen has atleast a little fear of ceasing to exist. But no sir you have NO idea that I have convinced myself that this is why I believe. the reason I believe is because I cant understand a world that we live in to not be existing without a God. and once I understood who God is and what he has done for you and me, I dont need to convince myself that thisis the way it is. in my mind its just obvious. you dont have enough information about me to make such a claim sir.
sigh ...people who believe in an afterlife, ALSO DON'T KNOW what's going to happen next... idiot...*
actually, people who do believe in an afterlife believe in it for their personal reasons that many can compare to each others. something has allowed them to believe what they believe so strongly, not that they have convinced themselves. so in your perspective, YOU could say they dont know because your not in their shoes. but to them they DO know, for whatever reason, to themselves they know.
and yes, I said to themselves because its them personally (so I guess you argument would attack that its just themselves?). and yes, there are people who do convince themselves, and yes there are people who believe for stupid reasons, and yes...some people say they believe but constantly doubt. but not everybody.
** a human just cant bare the fact that this life is IT. that this is ALL.
Speak for yourself... don't generalize YOUR cowardice on other people. **
I should have used a better word them bare, I meant comprehend but it didnt come to mind at the time.
Your intolerance is hilarious... you're a walking-talking contradiction. But its expected from someone so young and naive...
explain my intolerance how...and a walking-talking contradiction??? what? I was talking to skeptics. not myself... I agree that im young and naive...I just turned 18, I dont have the experience of a 30 something yr old man right?
EXACTLY. So you convinced yourself there was an afterlife, for peace of mind. YOU COULDN'T HANDLE IT. This is why the term 'deluded' is so often connected with religion. But its not the same for everyone. There are many people who CAN live without fear. But you wouldn't know that, since you're a person who CAN'T.
once again, you dont know anything but yet you claim to know where I stand. you say I've convinced myself, couldnt handle it. but sir you completely ignorant with knowledge of who I am...
read this whole thing again sir...
***when I didnt believe in more than this life, I was scared about this same thing.
the fear of understanding that I dont know whats going to happen, and that there is nothing I can do about it. whether there is an afterlife or not, its too late.
at that split second, is what makes humans question if they were right for not believing.***
and I quote, when I didnt believe in more than this life the continuing paragraphs explain mereley what I meant about this statement.
You STILL don't know, and there is STILL nothing you can do about it. You really need to preach less and think more. You've made it quite obvious that you know very little about your own faith; let alone other people.
I agree with only one thing, that I dont know other people.
with your quick to discriminate attitude, I can understnad why you would think I've made it quite obvious that... know very little about your own faith
but sir, obvious is your opinion. and with the little knowledge you know of who I am, what I believe, and why I believe it, you make it clear that your input really isnt valid enough to make such claims...
captainassassin, these comments are different than any you have made before. I have actually liked the comments you have made in earlier conversations/arguments. it sounds to me like you were a bit disgrunteld at the time. it looks like youve actually started to insult your opponent.
that aint cool man, I havent done that to you nor will I...
***oh really? im an insult now? I condemn people? when have I ever..???
here goes...some of your gems...
***your homosexuality is no different than greed, jealousy, murder, lying, etc. its the same in Gods eyes.
wow, homosexuality is the same as murder, lying, greed, jealousy... nope, nothing insulting in that statement...
***the bible makes emphasis that SIN in generall is enough to send you to hell, by disconecting you from the Lord. you yourself as individuals make the choices to sin, thats why hell is a self choice.
oh oh, homosexuality is sin and sin will send you to hell... slippery slope of condemnation there...
***it just seems as though the theory of evolution and satanism have so many similarities that it seems as though they go perfect together (in my opinion).
oops...sorry, that answer does not fall into the insult category but into the lack of intelligence category...my bad.
***and the antichrist will only apear after the Rapture. so if I was you, I wouldnt worry about it. cause if your a REAL christian, its not going to be in your lifetime. and the Rapture wont come until EVERY PERSON on earth has heard the Gospel. Until everyone on earth has had atleast one chance of accepting the good news.
tisk, tisk...if you are a REAL christian you would not try to judge another...
***and if the person has hiv...they will die. there is no cure for no immunity yet
well, that again falls into the category of lack of intelligence. Why would you make such an incorrect statement. HIV is not AIDS. An HIV + person does not always develop AIDS and HIV is NOT a death sentence.
***you cant 'use' to be a christian...once you accept Gods gift honestly...theres no going back. you dont know what Christianity is... you never did.. and yet you talk like you know..
judgment...judgment...wow, now you know a person's heart
***even if in your eyes your friend is a good person, they have DECIDED to not try to seek what life is all about, to not ask questions about where they came from. to not seek if there really is an eternal life, a hell, and especially, a creator. it has been her decision, and accepting Jesus Christ has been an option in her life im sure. so if your friend is to die today, or anytime soon, and has not accepted Gods gift of salvation...as sad as it may be...your friend is basically choosing her path, whether she believes in it or not. its not always about believing either.
yep, condemnation...
***you dont know much about demons do you? asking for their company is the worst thing you could do. cause once they start paying attention to you... ...they wont ever stop... dont mess with what you cant handle. its like giving a kid dynamite and handing him some matches. its going to end catastrophically.
I just threw this one in for fun...
Now, I repeat...get off your high horse.
and I will respond to any public discussion...that is the basis for this site...open discussion...
you dont have enough information about me to make such a claim sir.
Yes I do...
and once I understood who God is and what he has done for you and me
You don't understand God, you've just convinced yourself that you understand God. You still don't know what God is, you only have beliefs... again, NOT the same thing.
something has allowed them to believe what they believe so strongly, not that they have convinced themselves.
That IS 'convincing' ...which is NOT the same as 'knowing'
**I agree with only one thing, that I dont know *other people**
Ignorant people are often unaware of their ignorance... case in point...
but sir, obvious is your opinion. and with the little knowledge you know of who I am, what I believe, and why I believe it, you make it clear that your input really isnt valid enough to make such claims...
WRONG. I don't need to know you, I only need to hear your opinions about the topic. You might develop a better understanding of that with knowledge and experience... maybe...
captainassassin, these comments are different than any you have made before.
No they aren't...
I have actually liked the comments you have made in earlier conversations/ arguments.
That much is unavoidable... n___n
it sounds to me like you were a bit disgrunteld at the time. it looks like youve actually started to insult your *opponent.*
If someone says something stupid, I'll call it stupid. If someone acts like an idiot, I'll call them an idiot... if you haven't noticed that until now... boy, you just haven't been paying attention.
that aint cool man, I havent done that to you nor will I...
There's no need, your ignorance is offensive enough.
those who believe there is no afterlife fear death. those that believe there is, dont.
No... the REASON you believe, is out of fear. You can't imagine and are scared by the concept of ceasing to exist. So you convince yourself that you'll keep on living. Its pretty obvious.
every human being, that does not believe in an afterlife, fear death for one reason, because THEY DONT KNOW whats gonna happen next.
sigh ...people who believe in an afterlife, ALSO DON'T KNOW what's going to happen next... idiot...
a human just cant bare the fact that this life is IT. that this is ALL.
Speak for yourself... don't generalize YOUR cowardice on other people.
you can say your not scared. but you are. dont try to make yourself believe you arent.
Your intolerance is hilarious... you're a walking-talking contradiction. But its expected from someone so young and naive...
when I didnt believe in more than this life, I was scared about this same thing.
EXACTLY. So you convinced yourself there was an afterlife, for peace of mind. YOU COULDN'T HANDLE IT. This is why the term 'deluded' is so often connected with religion. But its not the same for everyone. There are many people who CAN live without fear. But you wouldn't know that, since you're a person who CAN'T.
the fear of understanding that I dont know whats going to happen, and that there is nothing I can do about it. whether there is an afterlife or not, its too late.
You STILL don't know, and there is STILL nothing you can do about it. You really need to preach less and think more. You've made it quite obvious that you know very little about your own faith; let alone other people.
mumba - you sound like the fearful person in this discussion. You are the one who believes that there is a horrible lake of fire for all to burn in after death. You are the one who believes that if you aren't baptised by fire now, you will live for eternity, burning in hell. You are the one who believes in the possibility of the horror of an eternity spent in hell. If we do not believe in these things...then we obviously do have have the level of fear about death that you do.
You have your faith...you love and live for G-d. That is wonderful...for you. Each of us have their own faith or lack of faith.
The constant badgering of non-christians to convert to your religion does nothing to further your religion. For every one that you might convince...you have completely turned off hundreds.
I have christian friends that do not preach to me. They are just good decent people who try to live their lives to the best of their ability...just like me. If I were ever going to convert to christianity it would be because of their example of humility, kindness, honesty and love for mankind that would convince me... NOT being told that I will burn in hell... NOT being told that my religion is wrong... NOT being told that I am scared and better change my ways before it is too late...
And if I were going to use the example of humility, honesty, kindness and love for mankind as a reason to convert to a religion... then I could become Muslim, Jewish, Bahai or any religion...all faiths and non-faiths have good, decent people...not just the christian faith.
The end of the world is at hand.
Your credibility is destroyed by saying so. Zealous idiots have been claiming the ''end is nigh...'' for hundreds of years. They were ALL WRONG... that includes YOU.
Face or not, every one in this life fears one thing.That is were they will spend their everylasting life.
WRONG. Not ALL people fear it, because not all people even believe in such a thing. People often fear the unknown, and they fear their own mortality. Which is why many people (points) choose to believe in a concept like an afterlife. Because they just can't imagine what it would be like to NOT exist.
The fact that some religion now are teaching people not to fear is a clear evidance of what people are just running away from.
You're delusional.
World could END day or tomorrow even a generation to come but all in all the truth remains that we are all waiting for this one moment in life.
Don't apply YOUR delusional outlook on life, to the rest of the world. You know NOTHING of the truth, you only know your own opinions... and that is ALL they are...
All the different religion in the world today teach different ideas but the basic principal is that one has to be purified or live a good life.
You generalize again... your're WRONG. They DON'T all share that basic principal.
And if I may ask purified for what for that one moment we are going to face when we see the KING in glory.
Learn better English.
Face or not, every one in this life fears one thing.That is were they will spend their everylasting life.
Wrong. I don't believe there is an everlasting life. When I die, I'll go straight into the ground and decompose and as pointed out above most people fear death, not what will happen after that.
Even those that think is just ridiculous information but at the end of it all that fear bears witness in ourselves that we need to be ready before time.
Ready for what? I don't want an everlasting life. How boring. Maybe the first million years or so will be cool, but after that? Eternal boredom...no thank you. I'll rather die and not have anything happen to me.
The fact that some religion now are teaching people not to fear is a clear evidance of what people are just running away from.
Running away from what? The fairyland of everlasting life?
World could END day or tomorrow even a generation to come but all in all the truth remains that we are all waiting for this one moment in life.
What one moment in life?
All the different religion in the world today teach different ideas but the basic principal is that one has to be purified or live a good life .
You assume WRONG, not all religions teach that.
And if I may ask purified for what for that one moment we are going to face when we see the KING in glory.
Awesum!! We're going to SEE ELVIS again??!?
aya yai mama mia!...take a break ...have a kit kat!
Owww...people just have different point of views aye...best picture yourself in their shoes before replying causes less tension.
This whole end of the world thing.I find it very ...I don't know very bullying I suppose can't find a better term for it.I mean I do realize it's all gonna end one day.But it's not right to shift the focus from the present life to damnation.I mean God willing I wont be damned.But I see people tell me the end of the world is coming the end of the world is coming...I don't think anybody should believe in God out of fear...I don't think anybody should have faith out of fear...whether it is christianity or other religions...we all know that the more you threaten someone well they first get scared...they they grow angry...that's why in thriller movies the victim gets to slash the psycopath out of anger..."DIE DIE DIE!!" ...
Anyways...as a christian ofcourse I believe in my own faith.Deep inside I know that end is not synonymous with death.I believe in the after life and it affects my present life and decisions I make and take.My life revolves around God and the only way it would come to an end is when I cease to make God the centre of my life.
If tomorrow the world were going to end I'd still be doing what I do today. Annoy my mum by biting her cheeks lol.
oh really? im an insult now? I condemn people? when have I ever..???
Wow... you REALLY haven't been paying much attention to what you've been saying...
what you consider an insult doesnt make it so..what you consider condemnation doesnt make it so, since you have completely no definition of the word...
Uh huh... no definition, huh? How'd you draw THAT conclusion?
**who are you to judge or discriminate how intelligent a person is??? are you here living with me day by day to communicate with me? you have no idea who I am or what I believe, you simply assume you do from past experiences with conversations with other *christians. (ill admit thats my assumption)
utopia. thanks for butting into the conversation to insult me. nobody was talking to you...nobody was trying to convince you of anything...
People can join ANY discussion in FunAdvice they choose. Deal with it.
you have shown very well to the world, just how highly you pride yourself... ... youve shown me, just how *intelligent you are, since I wasnt even addressing you...*
You don't have to be addressing someone, to be offensive to them. Oh, and passive-aggressive insults are JUST as offensive as direct ones... hypocrite.
utopia
You are an insult to every person and every religion that you condemn to hell by your beliefs...
oh really? im an insult now? I condemn people? when have I ever..??? what you consider an insult doesnt make it so..what you consider condemnation doesnt make it so, since you have completely no definition of the word...
You neither have the experience nor the intelligence to convince me of anything...
who are you to judge or discriminate how intelligent a person is??? are you here living with me day by day to communicate with me? you have no idea who I am or what I believe, you simply assume you do from past experiences with conversations with other christians. (ill admit thats my assumption)
utopia. thanks for butting into the conversation to insult me. you have shown very well to the world, just how highly you pride yourself.
nobody was talking to you...nobody was trying to convince you of anything...
by your standards... youve shown me, just how intelligent you are, since I wasnt even addressing you...
actually guys, I dont remember who, but somebody did point out a very interesting thing.
those who believe there is no afterlife fear death. those that believe there is, dont.
every human being, that does not believe in an afterlife, fear death for one reason, because THEY DONT KNOW whats gonna happen next.
they fear the ignorance. they have no hope for more life.
in a split second it all comes to mind because of that reason.
a human just cant bare the fact that this life is IT. that this is ALL.
you can say your not scared. but you are. dont try to make yourself believe you arent.
when I didnt believe in more than this life, I was scared about this same thing.
the fear of understanding that I dont know whats going to happen, and that there is nothing I can do about it. whether there is an afterlife or not, its too late.
at that split second, is what makes humans question if they were right for not believing.
the tone of your writing tells the whole world,that you are living in fear.
WRONG AGAIN... hypocrite... if I WERE afraid of dying, I'd be constantly trying to convince myself of an afterlife.
every human being will face death and that is just the beginning of the End becoz after Death, there is life again.
Just more nonsense that you cannot prove, and have NO EVIDENCE to support...
remember one can chose to experience the fire of the Holy spirit now (by being born again) or hELL fire after death Hope you be ready before that Big Day.
You really need to learn more about your own religion. Scare-tactics are juvenile, intolerant, and ungodly... but you wouldn't know much about that...
**it looks like youve actually started to insult your *opponent.
***that aint cool man, I havent done that to you nor will I...
You are an insult to every person and every religion that you condemn to hell by your beliefs...
Get off your high horse... according to you, unless a person is christian, they are scared to die... Exactly my point about condemning and insulting others... you do COMPREHEND there are other religions that believe in a different afterlife...
*** I agree that im young and naive...I just turned 18, I dont have the experience of a 30 something yr old (man)
Then stop pretending you do... You neither have the experience nor the intelligence to convince me of anything...
My religion teaches to resist fear...and, personally, I take it quite seriously.
I'm not afraid of your 'hell', a word that has no meaning for me...I have lived my life in a manner that will maintain my karmic balance, and I have no fear of what will come after death...as a matter of fact, I anticipate it.
It's a shame you have to live your life in fear and spend every hour of every waking day preparing for your death...it's not a way I'd want to live my life...
I have a good life...I honestly wish you could have one too.
The fact that some religion now are teaching people not to fear is a clear evidance of what people are just running away from. World could END day or tomorrow even a generation to come but all in all the truth remains that we are all waiting for this one moment in life. All the different religion in the world today teach different ideas but the basic principal is that one has to be purified or live a good life . And if I may ask " purified for what " for that one moment we are going to face when we see the KING in glory.
*** Face or not, every one in this life fears one thing.That is were they will spend their everylasting life.***
Speak for yourself Mumba, if someone does not believe in a god, heaven or hell how and why would they fear or worry about eternal life ???
No one would like to die, but we must think rational and realize we can’t live forever! Many want it so bad, it turns into an obsession and they build their life’s around it!
fear of what The fear of Death every human being will face death and that is just the beginning of the End becoz after Death, there is life again. If you are not prepared now,you would wish on that day you were becoz it would be the End. remember one can chose to experience the fire of the Holy spirit now (by being born again) or hELL fire after death Hope you be ready before that Big Day.
We're all blind until something or someone helps us open our eyes. I live not from fear to go to hell, but because I can. I am open to learning about religions from across the world. That way I have some pieces to better myself. If it does come, I guess we will be leaving and the earth will rejuvinate from the damage we put forth from the past, now, and more years to come.
"'every one in this life fears one thing. That is were they will spend their everylasting life.'" no, most people fear actual death, not were they will go when they die and not even all people fear death so you certainly cant say that EVERYONE is scared of were they'll go when they die because they dont and I certanly dont for one
The whole idea that a God would use what we believe as the sole criterion for whether we spend our eternity in bliss or torture is ludicrous.
I don't live in fear and I pity people who worry more about death than they do about living the richest life they can.
Face or not, every one in this life fears one thing.That is were they will spend their everylasting life. Even those that think is just "ridiculous" information but at the end of it all that fear bears witness in ourselves that we need to be ready before time.
**every human being will face death and that is just the beginning of the End becoz after Death, there is life again. **
What PROOF do you have that there is life after death. And WHY WOULD I WANT life after death. That will be boring.
***It says in the book of revelations that she jews will take back the temple before christ arrives.
yep, you want deny our religion and say that we are going to spend eternity in hell...but you need us to take back the temple...
the tone of your writing tells the whole world,that you are living in fear.
hahaha. sorry but is that ALL that you can come up with? How about AT LEAST trying to give a good answer to what he posted.
Oh and fear of what?
I'm a christian, I don't believe the world is gonna end anytime soon. It says in the book of revelations that she jews will take back the temple before christ arrives. They haven't taken it back yet.
Well, maybe the end of your world is at hand, but mine will survive for a few more generations at least.
Aren't you sad that you wasted your life with ridiculous hype like this now?
Snap really??? Man am I the only one who don't know about this!!!
Are you asking how my world is going to end?
The moment I stop believing in God.
The moment I stop believing in God.
Unfortunate for you!
But I must assure you many of us survived that, we didn’t cut our wrists!
"Captainassassin" the tone of your writing tells the whole world,that you are living in fear.
My world will end on the day I breath my last.
Thas Captain assasin!lol...(:-)
