umm, I wasnt trying to outgun you bro.
You bother me because when you post you don't post as if you are trying to win someone to Christ. You post to prove a point or to judge someone. If you tell people that they are going to hell, you better back it up with the reasons, like i.e. We are sinners and separated from God, and the only way to be reconciled to God is to be cleansed by the Blood of Jesus, and to trust in his death on the cross as payment for our sin.
You can't just tell people they are going to hell without preaching the good news with it. Cant preach the bad news if you dont have the good news.
You judge, You don't preach the gospel, You sound self-righteous and not someone who has been touched by the grace of God and is forever grateful.
the fact that you said to someone, "Since you are scared of death you must have little faith,"That is extremely condescending. Do you like sounding proud ? You sound extremely proud ? wouldn't you rather want to imitate Jesus and be humble.
Jesus wants to use you to build his kingdom, he wants to work in your life, dont glory in who you are, put your focus on Jesus.
I'll break this down in boldness, 1st bold:
So you want a reason as to why suicide brings you to hell? Some people would see suicide as a shortcut to get to heaven because this world is so bad. I don't want to live this life anymore so therefore I'll jump off a building at the age of 16 so I can go to heaven and skip this world thing.
If Jesus had to die for our sins, why didn't HE suicide? It is because suicide is a blasphemy and is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Suicide is a sign of: Lost all of your faith in everything including God and in life, Lost all hope, everything to you is dead spiritually and mentally, and also a sign of cowardess to escape the worlds grip on you.
2nd bold:
What good news are you talking about? There is nothing good at all whatsoever if you go to hell. Hey you are going to hell (Bad news) but the good news is that I won't be seeing you there! (Good news?)
Have you read the book of Jonah? The part when he tells the village that "Ninevah will be overturned in 40 days." Jonah doesn't even say anything about repenting or there being good news whatsoever.
3rd bold:
I judge? It sounds like you were judging me the way you tried to make out what kind of person I am on that very same line.
