Castle Stormer,
If I ever meet your fantasy Jesus I wont need a speech and I'll have nothing to fear-my conscience is clear.Evangelical Christians on the other hand might be in for a shock when they find out how little their adherence to meaningless dogma avails them.Many of them will reap the just punishment for ignoring "the one thing needful" which is to respect your fellow human beings regardless of their beliefs.

Andy, I don't think Castle has been disrespectful to other fellow beings who believe differently. In fact, it is love on his part to show others the truth of the Gospel.

Of course, whether others believe and accept the Gospel is another thing. That is where you are. Differences in beliefs, not disrespect.

Andy, a very interesting thing happened this morning in my quiet time. I was directed to read Isaiah 30, and really understand it. It is an amazing chapter. I hope you read it. Then the only words that kept coming to me were "speak of judgement". At first I was a little confused, because it seems that's all I do. I have been the dogmatic one on this board who continually talks of truth, hell, and a judgement coming. And apparently I am supposed to continue doing so here.

So I really don't care how I am perceived, or who I make mad with my "bigoted, judgemental, intolerant" posts about getting right with God through belief in Jesus. There is a great part of that chapter that says people can never say they didn't know, or weren't warned. It's my job.

Andy, you know where I'm coming from: Don't want to believe...DON'T! Want to believe that God is an evil tyrant...go ahead. Want to believe that Buddha will get you to your nirvana...be my guest.

The thing that I absolutely love about Christianity is the promise of a future with the people who absolutely LOVE Jesus. No whiners who got their arm twisted to believe will make it. Only those who are absolutely, completely sold out to the magnificence of the Almighty God, and desire to worship Jesus with all their being will be there. This is just boot camp for eternity.

God is awesome in love! And Jesus rocks!

No whiners?...ah.....do you like lift weight for Jesus or something??? ...just kidding brother. But let me remind you how Peter whined and whines.....and i think his arm might have been a bit twisted.....wouldn't you say? I believe that Spiritual Muscle, is quite different than Human Muscle....would not you agree? Meet Jeshua face to face? I believe i already have...and the Light and Love is sooooooooooooo bright, i become a mere shadow of the same light..........Jeshua is the Rock......and God is Awesome Love...on this we can agree.
