Voted no.
I'll answer your points too since it explains my vote.
Yes I realize you view me as a sinner based on your christian beliefs. This does not concern me since I don't see the validity of those beliefs in the first place.
Yes god came down in human form to die a brutal death on the cross as a human sacrifice to forgive our sins. Why on earth he chose to do that backwards method when he could easily forgive our sins when we die is beyond me. But hey i'm just a human.
I acknowledge that a man named Jesus lived and died on the cross. I don't see a legitimate reason to believe he was divine and rose from the dead though.
If I see some compelling evidence that leads me to believe Jesus was in fact divine and God did in fact exist I would do that. Unless of course it turns it's not the christian god who exists.
If god does exist then I'm already a child of God. And that god who would be my father (or mother) would punish me for eternity for simply doubting his existence. Now that seems like a pretty insecure god to punish someone for that. I mean I wouldn't throw my child in the basement forever just because they doubted I existed. But again i'm just a human so god would have superior logic I suppose.
Did all that the first 24 years of my life. If your post is correct then i'm on the fast track to hell.
It does concern you since you endorse its opposite - the sin that is "dark-souls" & playboy. You choose to disbelieve but
you did not create yourself & are therefore not a master of & as such are a creation of God the creator.
Mud itself did not make man as a brush itself does not make a painting.
Because you question with out faith you shall not understand, because one cannot have the compass of understanding
if one is already misguided through wickedness. They are opposites & if you fail to seek one, the other shall seek you.
God does exist and you're a child of him, but that does not mean you shall enter his eternal kingdom, especially as an unrepenting sinner.
faithlessness in god is fruitlessness with evil & as such God is a jealous God and he does not like his creation worshipping false idles.
When God is not with you, then you do not know what's right, and therefore you do not know right from wrong & why should the good Lord change, let alone accept, the unclean hearts of men who fail to bow before him? If you ignore his spirit for your lifetime, he shall also ignore you for the entirety of his, fair is fair & God almighty is eternal. To dust you will then go.
One cannot show evidence of the visual content of dreams in order to prove that visual content, yet we all know they occur. This is because of belief and testimony. As such, one only needs belief and testimony to meet the God of Israel, the God of all in spirit. But, unless you serve him, you will be left to the emptiness of your "proof" & moreover you do not believe or disbelieve because of evidence, you hide in the name there of.
