You and a few others on here are NOT the entire world. Aren't you supposed to be... truthful?
I keep thinking to myself that if all the 'god botherers' just practiced what they preached, they would probably get more converts.
Starting out with a lie sort of completely wipes out any credibility you might have had. :/
Just FYI, this is pretty much why I put aside my religious upbringing in the first place. Too many lies.
On a side note just saying YES to a ton of things, is not such a great idea. And saying YES to your own belief in something, is the worst kind of circular logic.
Ten commandments ... OK. All the rest is just a way for religious talking heads to gain money. The worst part is, that when all these modern day, un-approved disciples get this money, do they "share the wealth" in poor neighborhoods?
No they don't. They build these huge expensive and un-necessary churches, and then hand out day old bread to starving folk.
IF it turns out that there actually is a god, guess who he's gonna smite first? Yeah, it's gonna be all those who took money from folks, then spent 90% of it on themselves.
If you actually want your little philosophy of us in this day and age to not evangelize then it is up to you to take on the world.
As for me, I'm only here for you.
I want to remind you of the gospel which I am preaching to you for what I received I am passing on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures and that he appeared to Cephas and then to the twelve. After that he appeared to more than five hundred people at the same time. Then he appeared to James then to all the apostles.
If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead. But he did not raise him if in fact the dead are not raised. For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost. If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied.
It is so simple: just say yes! It is the most powerful word in the world.
Do you agree? - YES!
Is it good to say yes to this? - YES!
Do you accept Jesus' gift of salvation believing he died and rose again for your sins? - YES!
