Clueless, totally clueless..... And worse than that---totally illogical.
Think about this. What's better?

1) Believe in what it says in the Bible and die and go into oblivion never knowing
you were wrong.
2) Believe in what it says in the Bible and die and find out what it says is true
and reap the benefits.
3) Don't believe in what it says in the Bible and die and find you were wrong and
go to hell forever.

I choose number 2. If I'm wrong I've lost nothing. If I'm right I've gained everything.
Being a smug know-it-all just isn't worth the risk....

The only logical approach is ignore what everyone says and live a good
life. If there is a God and Heaven, that will surely be enough.

It is not for you to choose. Live a decent life and hope for the best at the
end of it.

Wrong, Edgar! You should read the Bible. You have a clear choice. You can:
1) accept Jesus as your savior and have eternal life
2) reject Jesus as some kind of fairy tale and die
Living a decent life simply won't do it. Hoping for the best is nonsense. You don't
have to hope. Jesus says if you do X you get Y. X being believe his message. Y being
eternal life.

It's that simple.

Wrong Nellen,

You should read the Bible & Biblical History. There are many error in
the Bible that was put together hundreds of years after Jesus' death.
There are other writings of other Apostles that are ignored.

Even your own Bible is a translation, which has many questions in many
statements.

Neal, I'll not question your faith, simply because I don't know. I do
know that your source has errors so I know you don't know.

Beware of False Doctrines!!

What you said's true about the errors. The Bible was put together over some
hundreds of years. Men did it, not God.
I read the *DaVinci Code* and then I read *Truth and Fiction in the DaVinci Code*.
It explains how the Bible was really written and all the lies in the DaVinci Code.
The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were written some hundred and
fifty years after Jesus was crucified. Some historians say there are a couple of
missing Gospels that the four reference.
Some parts of the Bible conflict with others. But conflicts are few. Some are
to be expected considering the size of the thing.
What's amazing about the Gospels is how they're so similar. They pretty much tell
the same story about Jesus' life and death. And his teachings.
In order to have the gift of eternal life all you have to do is believe Jesus is God
and he died to forgive people's sins which people can never get rid of themselves no
matter how good a life they try to live. All you have to do is believe the Gospel message
of Jesus and accept his gift and say thank-you and you WILL have eternal life.
Now, it would've been pretty easy to believe Jesus if you'd been alive and
seen him. Seen him killed and then come back to life like lots of people saw him do.
It's hard to believe a story about that happening but there's nothing to lose believing
that story and everything to gain. Only an idiot would reject it.

Cheers,
Ellen

It is a great story book. Mostly it is whisper down the lane.

If in the instant before Hussien neck got snapped he accepted Jesus into
his heart he would go to heaven?

If Hitler had accepted Jesus before the gasoline bath he would be in
heaven too?

All one has to do is believe and have faith and it doesn't matter if
they kill, rape or pillage?

Sounds too good to be true. I think those religious salesmen are
promising something they can't deliver. The salesmen are living pretty
good in the here and now aren't they?
