But that's only true if you believe in books about fairy tales.

I know because I’ve read it and seen it to be true in my life and in the world in general. But you have the same evidence I have you just deny it.

1Co 1:22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
1Co 1:23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
1Co 1:24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

Can I use the same line of evidence for any religions gods? I mean, I've seen basically every religion use the same justification.

Anecdotal evidence where the person then says if you don't see what I see you're wrong and I'm right because I'm right.

No wonder Christianity is on such a decline. Population gets more educated overtime Christianity declines over time. Makes sense to me!

He asked for anecdotal evidence. The Bible is true because it is true. All the crying in the world won’t change that. But if atheists prefer to delude themselves into believing there will be no judgment, well that’s their mistake. If idolaters want to create a god that’s in their own image, that’s their choice. But I know the truth and I preach the truth. I cannot infringe on anyone’s free will. I have been commanded to preach The Gospel.

AHH that makes sense to me, ive met quite a few southern baptists who talk often with "born again" in their vocabulary.

Ya, Baptist are the only people I found that actually have the Bible as their final authority and are encouraged constantly to not take the Pastor’s word for it but read the Bible and see for ourselves.

Joh 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

im not aware of any other sect, although im sure i just dont know of them, that doesnt see sin as needing to be absolved by Jesus.

catholics use weekly communion for this as i understand. Methodists as ive been taught simply use weekly church and prayer to ask for forgiveness without communion. i tend towards the Methodist side and that's the church i attend.

I believe the Bible when it says that eternal life is a gift. The difference between Baptist and every other “Christian” religion, is that every other religion teaches works to go to heaven. It’s clear in the Bible that it’s free by faith alone.

i personally have a hard time accepting that a faithful murderer or rapist goes to heaven, and by faith alone without the flesh of his brain even feeling sorry for said murders or rapes.

unless i misunderstand, this seems to be that a faithful person who's flesh commits great sin is preserved for all time.

although to be fair, if a person has faith, and lives a sin free life or as close to it as they can, they still go to heaven. it is only the faithless who do not.
