| JamesCantu said: The only “religious†people who are “saved†are born-again believers who have accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord & Savior. |
Well. Then your God isn't worthy of worship.
...Because that means every single infant ever born on Earth that has died way to early... Has no concept of your religion, Jesus or your God.
By your words, your God sends all infants to Hell.
With all due respect... Screw your God.
| JamesCantu said: They admit they are sinners in need of a savior. |
This is a lie... And this tells me you are likely just a troll.
| JamesCantu said: They acknowledge no amount of good works can overcome their sin. |
Another lie.
Although... You need to believe in "sin" to start with.. Remember, Sin is a religious INVENTION meant to keep you compliant and complicit with your cults propaganda.
...And you have fallen for it.
| JamesCantu said: They confess Jesus Christ as the only one who can save them, because He is God and lived a perfect, sinless life on earth. And He died a brutal death on the cross as punishment for our sins, because He loves us. And He rose from the dead after 3 days and is now in heaven, ready to forgive our sins if we’re willing to receive the free gift of salvation He offers. |
There is no evidence your God even exists, so there is literally nothing to confess.
Your God cannot be perfect if your God allows death and destruction, paint and suffering, abuse and torture to exist.
There is no evidence your God rose from the dead, there is no evidence of your heaven, there is no evidence of salvation.
You need to STOP making baseless assertions... It makes you look like a gullible sheep.
| JamesCantu said: With the fall of Adam & Eve in the Garden of Eden, sin & disease & disaster & death & decay entered the universe and mankind. So the entire book of the Bible, which is God’s divinely-inspired & 100% inerrant revelation to mankind, is a story of God’s redemption of His creation & mankind. But not all of mankind will be redeemed – only born-again believers saved by Jesus, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. Believers will receive eternal life in heaven, because their sins have been paid for by the blood of Jesus. Non-believers will be judged & declared guilty. They will be sent to hell for all of eternity. |
Stop with the lies and the fairy-tales.
| JamesCantu said: There is also one more category of non-believer – the fake “Christian.†Let me explain. The process of salvation in the life of a believer is immediate justification, then gradual sanctification, and then upon death - ultimate & eternal glorification. If a so-called believer does not bear fruit (i.e., good works), and he continues to live a life of ongoing sin, with no real tangible demonstration of a relationship with Jesus, then it is likely his conversion was not a real one. Only God knows. But if their conversion was not real, then they are going to hell the same as all of the other non-believers out there. That is the difference between a true born-again believer, and someone who is a mere “cultural†Christian, or Christian “in name only,†or fake “Christian.†|
No one literally cares what you think.
| JamesCantu said: The Bible teaches that mankind is utterly sinful. Paul writes in Romans 3:11-18, “There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one. Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit. The poison of vipers is on their lips. Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness. Their feet are swift to shed blood; ruin and misery mark their ways, and the way of peace they do not know. There is no fear of God before their eyes.†|
The Bible is the claim and not evidence.
The Bible cannot even get basic math like Pi correct.
Preaching religious rubbish isn't going to get you far... It makes you look less credible, not more so.
| JamesCantu said: So when I see on this forum a lot of space devoted to whether atheists or religious people are historically responsible for more evil in the world – my answer is BOTH. Most religious people are going to hell, because they follow a false religion and/or are fakes. And so-called “non-religious†people are certainly going to hell, such as the atheist, because they follow a false religion that denies the obvious existence of God – and for them, anything goes since they are “god†and get to make up the rules of “morality†to suit their own sinful lusts & desires & greed. |
1) There is no evidence that hell exists.
2) Atheism is Anti-Theism. It's not a set of beliefs, it's disbelief due to the burden of proof for your cults religious claims not being met.
3) If your God sends anyone to your hypothetical "hell" then your God is not a good god. Your God is not worthy of admiration. Your God is not worthy of worship.
4) Your religion isn't the first middle eastern religion, the Jewish Torah was the first of it's kind, you have the same God as the God in the Muslims Quran.
| JamesCantu said: Mankind, both ostensibly religious & ostensibly non-religious, has committed much evil in this world & will continue to do so. That is because he is a sinner in need of a savior. So when you debate which side has committed the greater atrocity, you are inadvertently validating the very anthropological doctrine that Scripture teaches. |
Believing in your cult doesn't make you a good person.
| JWeinCom said: That is not in any way a reasonable interpretation of what he said. He was then asked "What is the possibility that intelligent design might be the answer to some of these issues in genetics"? So Dawkins goeas along and throws out a possibility. That is in no way anythign close to him admitting life is improbable without an intelligent creator. All he's doing is saying it's theoretically possible. Funny enough this movie was from "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed". In the filming of that movie, they told Richard Dawkins and others that they were being interviewed for a pro-evolution documentary when the intention was to make an anti-evolution "documentary" which is rife with intentional dishonesty, omitted relevant details, and enough overall scumbaggery to make Michael Moore blush. The very intention was to get interviews with these people, so they could be badgered into giving bad answers. So that somewhere someone on the internet could be like "SEE RICHARD DAWKINS BELIEVES IN ALIENS!" If you are actually interested in what Dawkins thinks about the possibility of an intelligent designer, he's literally written books about it. I would suggest that if you are an intellectually honest person who wants to fairly represent those views, you might read one of those books, instead of watching one clip from an ambush interview. Especially one that even taken at face value does not say what you're claiming it does. |
He is being disingenuous... Bordering on pathological.
Which correct me if I am wrong, is a Sin, which means he is going to his unproven Hell, right?
