Your analogy does not work, because there is another group that didn't need a sign. Those are the people who did not get onto the ship. If you don't believe in Christianity, then you do not have to worry about being lost, because there is noting to be saved from.

Why should the tragedy of the Titanic be twisted into an analogy that in turn uses the fear of pain and punishment to compel people to follow your faith?

20 recognized major religions?

They can't all be right.

Does denying the existence of the sun cause it to cease to exist?

So similarly, denying the existence of Hell and sin does not cause them to cease to exist.

What is proof? That which you can perceive through your five senses?

Your senses have lied to you before, and even confused you.

God cannot lie.

Hence, my evidence is greater: The Word of the living God.

The Sun is in the sky, and it really is there.

I am not relying on just my senses, we have instruments that can see and measure better then I or you, and they show that the Sun is real.

Well, I'm sorry that your god is so limited that there are things he cannot do.

A book written by humans is no proof other then proof that it is a book.

Now answer my question: Look up ^ 3 posts for my question.

I like the idea that my senses lie to me, except when I use them to validate the existence of God by virtue of the written word or seeing miracles or listening to prayer.

None of them fed 15,000 people after supernaturally breaking and multiplying five barley loaves and two small fish, with twelve baskets full of fragments and of the fish left over like the Lord Jesus.

None of them ever cast demons out of people, delivering them from satanic oppression like the Lord Jesus.

None of them ever raised a man who had been dead for four days and was already decomposing like the Lord Jesus.

None of them ever gave His life for the whole world (all nations, ethnicities, creeds, cultures, walks of life, religions, backgrounds, socioeconomic status, class, geographical location, color, etc.) like the Lord Jesus.

None of them ever resurrected from the dead--never to die again--like the Lord Jesus.

None of them ever promised to return sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven like the Lord
Jesus.

None of them has God the Father highly exalted, and given a Name which is above every name, that at the Name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in Heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth , and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father like the Lord Jesus.



For this reason I strongly encourage you to do your research.

Considering you probably have never heard of half of those religions and are completely ignorant as to their purpose, tenets, and religious proofs in turn, your refutation for me to "do my research" is ridiculous. You've said that God is perfect and can't lie, even though I pointed out he often lies or deceives people throughout the Bible, advocates murder, and discriminates among his own flock.

You've pointed out all these benchmarks for what is good and valid, except that they aren't convincing to anyone but yourself. So what if Zeus didn't walk on water? He could throw lightning bolts and was more fertile than your God. So what if Thor didn't talk nicely or cure the sick? He was the strongest living being in the cosmos and lifted a serpent off of the ground who was large enough to encircle the earth.

If you want to be ridiculous and apply goalposts that only your God can measure up to, and then use those benchmarks as means of discrediting other religions out of hand without providing any convincing reasons that yours is more valid, I'm going to label you as narrow-minded and ask that you do some research of your own.

The major difference is that Zeus and Thor are comic book characters, strictly relegated to mythology.

The Lord Jesus is a historical Person.

This is shocking ignorance. Zeus and Thor are actual deities in pre-Christian religious systems that existed continuously for close to a thousand years in both cases. Their validity is on-par with Jesus and the Christian God, since "ancient woo woo magical saga/book/prophet says this happened" in all three cases.

I asked you specifically what about Christianity is more valid than the other alternative religions that exist now? And I didn't even bring up smaller cults and religions and dead religions, except for amusement in the case of Thor and Zeus. You haven't demonstrated anything conclusive. This Titanic gospel just strikes me as an attempt to make people think "Oh god if I'm not a believer, I might not be saved! Because of personal interest and not because of any convincing evidence or moral fibre, I'm going to convert to save myself!".

In any case, dismissing prior deities as comic book characters is ridiculous. Some Middle-eastern deities and spirits were co-opted into Christianity and became synonymous with demons. The religion is hardly pure.



According to what non-Biblical source?



Your catch-phrase is ironic given your demonstrated ignorance across the board.

Right as in correct. You know the story about the elephant and the five blind men. Each told a different story about the elephant from their point of view. One said an elephant was flat like a wall. Anther said the elephant was like a trunk of a tree, and so on. Each description alone seems to contradict the other, but we know that all these parts make up an elephant.

Now if you ask me what an elephant is... evil face

No. "Who the true God is" and "how to get to Heaven" are only a valid questions in your religion. That is like one of the blind men asking how is the elephant like a tree. To the blind man who thinks that the elephant is like a wall, he would not know how to answer that question. The elephant is like a wall to him. The two might end up arguing about the elephant without knowing what an elephant is, and how it is both like a wall and like a tree.

God is like the elephant, and we are the blind people trying to understand something beyond us.

Your question has no connection to my statement. I was saying just the opposite. Christianity has no monopoly on rightness. God is the elephant in my story and Christianity is only one of the blind men. Yes, the elephant is like a wall, but it is also like a tree, a fan and a rope.

No, you're here to push your beliefs without consideration to anything but those beliefs. This isn't a Christian forum, sub-forum, or even Christian-only thread. You are attempting to convert people on the premise that currently they are worthy of hell over heaven.

"Do as I do and you won't suffer for all eternity" is not a statement of love.

You really should go back and challenge yourself to answer my questions. If you base your entire existence on KMC around not accepting new data, you're only going to draw fire from less narrow-minded people.

Also, the image is similar because it changes meaning based on subjective perception. Since subjectivity is always up to the beholder, it applies to everything. Destroying a tree can be good or bad depending on the beholder.

I might be mistaken but I thought you said that, "we cannot understand God".

That is only a product of communication. I would say that Buddhahood is real, and that we are all enlightened within Buddhahood. Can you fathom my difficulty with explaining that to you in a way that you can understand?

His god is the lotus flower that creates "oneness" whom he has never actually seen..hmm..blind faith in a flower that creates "oneness"

Are they synonymous or one and the same?

No, I cannot fathom your difficulty.

If what you believe is true it would seem that it wouldn't be so complicating.

It would seem that it would be easy to understand.

What I believe about Lord Jesus is easy to understand.

God so loved the world (people) that He gave His only begotten Son (as payment for the wages of our sins), so that whoever (anyone, yes you reading this post too!) believes in Him (puts their trust and faith in Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Son of the living God for salvation from his/her personal sins) shall not perish (spend eternity separated from God's love unnecessarily in the Lake of Fire), but have everlasting life (live forever and ever, and ever, and ever into infinite time without end in bliss, peace, joy, love, comfort, warmth, pleasure, blessing, goodness, favor, with God the Father, God the Son Jesus, God the Holy Spirit, other Bloodwashed believers, in the glory and splendor of Heaven--where eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor has entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.

Unlike all other religions who complicate things and make them difficult to comprehend, this (gospel message) is simple to understand.

God intended for His Message of grace and love made available to all people--every person alive right now--through His Son Jesus Christ to be accessible, and easy to understand, not complex, unfathomable concepts, teachings, doctrines, rituals, chants, laws, and list of do's and dont's that have no power to save humanity from the wages of their sins.

I don't believe in Satan. Personifications are never to be taken literally. I also do not believe in a war between good and evil. Without evil there is no good, and without good there is no evil.

Quantum Mechanics is confusing, but that doesn't mean it is not true.

I'm not sure how you reconcile the OT wrathful God with Jesus the pacifist Jew carpenter as one and the same, and then say that one is the son of another and died for us, but didn't really die and his sacrifice didn't do anything tangible, unless you believe in him in which case you go to Paradise Island after all this needless suffering is through.

No, I cannot fathom why you would think God is love except that you're constantly told as much. God did not show consistent or unconditional love anywhere, and has proven elusive to things such as "proof" and "reason", so this assertion of God is love smacks of mindless rhetoric.

But satan believes in you, so much so that he has blinded your mind (see 2 Corinthians 4:4) lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on you.

The devil is a person, a real, actual, malevolent spirit being who cannot be seen with physical eyes (without the eyes of your spirit being allowed to see him).

There is a battle going on right now in the spirit realm (see Daniel 10:10-21, and 2 Kings 6:14-17).

You don't know me therefore you dont know the power of God in my life. His very breath sustains my life, he gives me all that I need, the fact that I have more money they I can do with, the fact that he is my God of more then enough and that I have more then enough

If you could only see what I see from my eyes. I see his life through my eyes and his life will be seen through mine

You cant see what I see and I dont expect you too, I just came back from a month in Bali and the people say my God lives!

But something as simple as Truth and deception should not be confusing.

The future of your eternal spirit should not be confusing, it should be easy to understand.

The Bible spells out humanity's eternal future--with Christ and apart from Christ--in clear, no uncertain terms.

You have no guarantee in Buddhism, Islamism, Hinduism, or any other ism about your eternal future.

I am not talking about unicorns dancing in the spring time.

I am talking about God's goodness.

I am talking about God's love for you.

I am talking about God's grace, mercy, compassion, and forgiveness extended to you--and others reading this post--through His dear Son Jesus Christ.

Shakyamunison, the truth is that you have broken at least one of the Ten Commandments right?

That makes you guilty of breaking all of God's law (see James 2:10).

You are guilty of idolatry, taking God's Name in vain, not keeping the Sabbath day, not honoring your father and mother, murder, adultery, stealing, bearing false witness against your neighbor, coveting, and the like.

When you stand before God in judgment what will your plea be?

You are guilty of breaking every last one of His Ten Commandments.

The wages of sin is death.

Death is first spiritual (which is separation from God spiritually), and then physical (that's why Adam and Eve did not die physically right away after breaking God's Word/law).

They first died spiritually which made it possible for them to subsequently die physically.

Your sentence is the Lake of Fire for eternity Shakyamunison.

The good news (gospel) is that Jesus Christ (the Lamb of God Who took away the sin of the world) died in your place.

Lord Jesus Christ took your judgment, paid the wages of sin--and thus satisfied God's righteous requirement on your behalf (and on behalf of everyone reading this post).

All you (and anyone reading this post) has to do to be saved from the wages/penalty of sin is to ask Lord Jesus Christ to save you from your sins, turn away from your sins (with His help of course), confess Jesus as your Lord (thus renouncing satan as your lord), and simply believe that God raised Lord Jesus from the dead--and you will be saved.

Simple as 1, 2, 3.

No rituals, no chants, no starving yourself, no constant prayers 6 times a day, no meditations, no harming yourself, no jihads, no killing other people who do not believe as you do, praying to Mary, no praying to saints, no rosary's, no confessing your sins to priests, etc.

God saves us for good works not by virtue of our good works.

Do you see the difference?

It's like buying a car for transportation not buying a car just because it transports.

It is true that the car transports, but you need it to transport you.

Well, God saves us for good works, not by our good works. Our good works mean nothing without being born again first, because we are still breakers of God's law.

We must get that judgment remitted so that we can start living for God without the judgment of God hanging over our heads.

Once that is done we can start getting rewards for our good deeds because we are free from the wages of our sin.

Our sin debt is forever paid by the Blood of Jesus Christ!

Like chains that have been removed from our body, wrists, and ankles we are free to serve the living God freely!

But...you must first admit that you are a sinner in order to receive God's free gift of salvation and righteousness through His Son Lord Jesus Christ.

All that verbiage and you cherry-picked it.

I'm not the One judging you.

Your own conscience convicts you.

I am simply laying my finger on the obvious.

How do I know?

Let me ask you.

Shakyamunison (and anyone reading this post) have you ever thought, spoke, told, or committed a lie (no matter how white or seemingly small)?

If the answer is yes then you are guilty of breaking all of God's law (see James 2:10).

The wages of sin is death.

You are without excuse before the holy God.

Shakyamunison, you are a sinner, denying the Truth only makes you seem in denial.

Don't feel bad, we are all sinners (myself included) apart from Christ's shed Blood (i.e. sacrifice on the cross) to pay the wages of our sins.



In Bible days people who were in debt would sell themselves into slavery to pay off debts, or to be taken care of for the rest of their lives, similar to how American colonies sold themselves as indentured servants in early days.

God has never violated His own law/Word.

He would cease to be God if He did.

You misconstrue God's actions, (perhaps) because you do not understand how He operates.

You do not know Him; therefore, you construe the things that you (perhaps) don't understand fully as contradiction.

Get to know God through faith in His Son, and I guarantee that you will see that the Lord is good.
