The Lord God made it easy for anyone to become saved. We are saved once. The Lord will supply the faith to believe the instant someone wills to believe in the gospel as presented by Jesus Christ.
I am not here to make me look good or to win any argument. Jesus Christ is personally inviting every one of you to spend eternity with Him in Paradise. Jesus died to give you eternal life, peace, joy, comfort, abundance, love, and happiness. You may not experience all of these things in this life right now but YOU CAN in the life to come. Don't die in your sins, die in Christ (i.e. forgiven of all your sins). I will put up with all the flack, criticism, hostility, anger, opposition, hatred, misunderstanding, etc. It does not even faze me. I am well persuaded that God is true, Jesus is true, Heaven is true, and Hell is true (unfortunately). Yes, Jesus Christ is alive; He rose from the dead triumphantly. He who is of God hears God's Words. Many of you are not of God that is why you do not hear (i.e. understand). You do not know when you will breath your last breath. Don't die in your sins. Ask Jesus into your heart sincerely by faith. You have nothing to lose. If what I am telling you is untrue (but it is not) you are still going to die. But I do speak the truth, my God bearing witness. I want to see everyone of you in Heaven when I die. I want to see your faces shine with the glory of God. I want to see your faces as you see God in all of His splendor, glory, and majesty sitting on His throne. I want to watch as the Lord Jesus Christ embraces you in His everlasting love. I want to watch you marvel as you walk on streets of pure transparent gold. I want to see your expression as you realize that the Word is true all along and that you almost missed Heaven because of unbelief. Don't miss Heaven. This may be your last chance to accept Love (i.e. Jesus Christ). Love is Christ and Christ is Love. Receive His love into your heart by faith and you will be saved. You will have eternal security. You will never die again. You will live with Christ Jesus in eternal love and peace. This is Jesus Christ's personal promise to you.

There is nothing to be saved from. This sounds like a sales tactic. Something too good to be true, is often to good to be true.
How could God send a good person to Hell? How could a loving God condemn and consign a person who has a reputation for being good in so many people’s eyes to a place of torment? Why would God do such a thing?
Well, the answer is simple: No one is good enough to stand before God. God is holy (without sin). Apart from Jesus Christ we are all sinners and doomed to Hell. Yes, even history’s most renowned people are either in Hell or on their way there if they have not bowed their knee to Christ Jesus. Bigotry? Intolerance? Dogmatism?
The truth based on the Bible? How can I speak so absolutely about this subject? There are no absolutes, everything is relative, right? Question: what are absolutes based on objectivity or subjectivity? They are supposed to be based on objectivity. If something is a matter of opinion then it is considered to be subjective. If I ask you what your favorite ice cream is, your answer would not fall under the classification of something that is absolute because it is your personal, favorite. But if I asked you what 3 + 4 is and you feel or think that the answer is, “1,” because that is your belief, now we have a problem. You have just taken something that is absolute and made it relative. You have taken an objective and made it subjective. There is only one right answer to 3 + 4, 7. This is an absolute. I don’t see anyone arguing whether 3 + 4 is 7 yet this is an intolerant absolute. The answer doesn’t care whether you agree that 7 is the correct answer. If you mark 1 on your paper you are going to get this question wrong. Why? Because this is an absolute; there is only one right answer to this question. Irrespective of what you feel, think, believe, are accustomed to, your background, culture, upbringing, environment, skin color, social status, income-level, and tax bracket: 3 + 4 = 7.
But then how can so many people be wrong? What about the sincerity of those who are seeking a path to God? I just don’t believe that millions of people could be wrong especially if they are sincere, you say. Question: if a billion people sincerely believed that elephants were the size of ants, and turtles were faster than cheetahs, and sharks can’t smell blood, and that Hitler never existed, and that red is really yellow, and pink was really green, and 3 + 4 was really 9, does that make them right? But what about their sincerity, doesn’t that somehow smooth over the fact that they are wrong? Doesn’t their sincerity add some validity to what they think, feel, and believe? Absolutely not; their sincerity is irrelevant and immaterial, their still wrong. I said all that to say this: as peaceful as Gandhi was, as commendable as mother Theresa was, as good as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was, as laudable as some people say the Pope is, as admirable as your husband, wife, father, mother, siblings, relatives, in-laws, teachers, neighbors, boyfriend, girlfriend, or even adult children may be: if any of these people, yourself included dies in your sins (without asking Christ Jesus for forgiveness) then they/you are lost.
Folks, when it comes to the path to God there is only one right Way: Jesus Christ. Just ask Him in simple faith to save you from your sins. Tell Him that you are sorry for your sins. If this is still a problem, then tell Him in your own words. I promise, He will understand you and take you into His arms--I promise.

Because God isn't as clean as the driven snow as people make out. It is impossible. He should drop that act.

Tell me - has God done things that would be considered a sin if a person had done them? Yes? Has God ever killed? Has God ever coveted? Has God ever gotten angry?
Because when I read the Bible, especially the Old Testament, I see God doing things that would be sin if a human did it, but it isn't when God does it. It is easy to be sinless when one says "No sin applies to me."

And ultimately we have to take your word for it, because we would not have any tangible proof Jesus is doing anything of the sort. We don't feel his arms around us. Not a single Christian I know is any happier or more excited about life then I am... so yes. We have to have "faith" Jesus is doing that.
Ah dear me... when does the faith stop and we see some actual meat to the claims... ah yes. When we are dead. Then it is all confirmed for us. Yes?
Renditions of New Jerusalem. New Jerusalem will be relocated to earth one day.
Revelation 21:21
The twelve gates were twelve pearls: each individual gate was of one pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.
Revelation 21:18-20
18 The construction of its wall was of jasper ; and the city was pure gold, like clear glass . 19 The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all kinds of precious stones: the first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.
The foundations of New Jerusalem are twelve precious stones (jasper, sapphire, chalcedony, emerald, sardonyx, sardius, chrysolite, beryl, topaz, chrysoprase, jacinth, and amethyst). They are depicted here.
This is going to be my new hometown for eternity.
The entire city in Heaven (it is called New Jerusalem) is pure gold (transparent like glass) and it is surrounded by a wall made of jasper.
The Bible does not really describe what Heaven looks like but it does describe what the Heavenly city, New Jerusalem, looks like. Heaven is not this city, but the city is a subset of Heaven. Heaven is perhaps a planet. The Bible does not say that so I will just stick to the Bible's description of New Jerusalem.
The jasper wall of New Jerusalem is 600 feet high, its length 1500 miles, and its width 1500 miles. I got one word to describe this: Wow! Amazing! Huge! I can't wait! Sorry, folks for getting a little carried away. New Jerusalem is half the distance of the United States, and it is a city! There isn't a city this large in the universe. God truly is omnipotent or Almighty. The sheer power it took to create a city of this magnitude astounds me.
1 Timothy 2:3-4,
“For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men [i.e. people] to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.”
Romans 10:13,
“‘For ‘whoever calls on the name of the Lord [Jesus Christ] shall be saved.’”
John 14:1-3,
“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God [i.e. the Father], believe also in Me [i.e. Jesus Christ]. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.”
[Matthew 11:28-30
Come to Me [i.e. Jesus Christ], all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
Revelation 22:17
And the Spirit [i.e. God] and the bride [i.e. the church] say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.

Hahahahah.
So theoretically God creates the entire bloody universe, and that is nothing compared to a big city?
You know it is theorised that in another 200 -> 500 years there could very well be cities that big on earth? What with population booms and all that? If a city half as big as the US is possible in mans future, well, it isn't all that awe inspiring God could do similar.

That is a lie from the pit of Hell. I don't even talk to you (and you know this is true). Not because I don't wish to but it just seems that you just say things to harrass me.
I have told you once that you are the first to respond to my posts. You go out of your way to antagonize me. I posted something in a Christian thread and you still follow me there.
I don't have a problem with you posting right behind me, but you seem to do it just to harrass me. You won't even contribute to the thread in an intelligent manner like others on this forum (this is now the third time I am saying this).
Case in point:

In the beginning I asked you questions, you simple snubbed me and would not answer. You are a hypocrite.

You told me this before and a good number of other posters disagreed with you.

If you would treat me as an equal, you would find that my “harassment” as you call it, would change. I just want to get your attention.
BTW The pile of garbage? You don't know what heaven looks like, that is a pile of garbage.

Why do you want my attention so badly? Who am I?
Like I said there is no need for me to do anything: I don't even talk to you (and for obvious reasons). The only time that I do talk to you is when you accuse me of something (right after I have posted something not aimed at nor having anything to do with you). I mind my own business in terms of communicating with you. I truly have tried to establish and maintain a cordial aquaintance with you. But to no avail. For this reason I avoid all conversation with you. I am successful at having no talks with you until you come out with your false accusations (this is the only time that you hear from me in a one-on-one dialogue).
