ihedinobi2: This is the type of bullshyte that you guys are very fond of regurgitating , without seeing the obvious contradictions. First, if you think that a mere belief absolves you of personal responsibilities, then I am a much better, much more responsible human being than you. The funny thing is that Jesus never taught you such crap. Jesus had already made it clear that each shall reap what he or she sowed,..a truth that you are deludingly ignoring, because you and your fellow travellers want to dodge personal responsibilities. You shall reap whatever you sow. The above is the truth FROM Jesus you should BELIEVE in order to align your moral conduct, not his godship, the trinity, or his messaihship. You get save d by following the simple truths of Jesus, such as given above, not by loving or romancing or worshiping him. Pity pity when it takes an atheist to educate deluded churchtians about what Christianity , the message of Jesus before the liar and fraudster Paul hijacked it for his demented ambitions 4 Likes 1 Share |

plaetton: Lol. A belief absolves you of personal responsibility? Are you making things up as you go along? You could have just read what I wrote, plaetton. I said that belief makes you act a certain way rather than another. As for sowing and reaping... Unbelief or cynicism will always lead you to commit acts that will bring unfortunate consequences. Faith, on the other hand, will always lead you to carry out actions that will bring worthy rewards. It's not rocket science, plaetton. If you believe in Jesus, that belief will make you responsible and good. The same way that believing that a chair can take your weight will make you sit or stand on it as you need to. If you don't believe in Jesus, on the other hand, you will not care about what he says you should do. As for the part about accountability for sin, think of it as a teacher with his students.... For believers, that is. As we are learning to live life the Christ way, we make mistakes, sometimes even act out like total buffoons. He gets it and at such times he steps in with one argument only: the punishment due to us has already been borne by him and we are free. And because we believe we will actually change our behavior accordingly. Yeah, plaetton, Christians have it really good. Hating on us for being so freaking lucky is a waste of your precious time. You could have our luck too. Or just plain forget about us. |

plaetton: Ihedinobi, why do you embarrass yourself in front of atheists every time? I am a christian like you and I do not need to lie to explain the Gospel to them. I believe atheists and other unbelievers can go to heaven. I believe that some of them do not truly know God and it would be ridiculous for them to go to hell just because they didnt know about the faith. I follow the christian doctrine that judges a man by his actions and not his faith only. Good people go to heaven not based on faith but by their deeds on earth. Faith is simply saying that one believes in something- it is the action that defines the man. The good Samaritan is a cautionary tale. Many christians do not feed the poor or shelter the homeless but yet, they arrogantly put themselves in a higher moral position than atheists who do charity. It was not a christian that gave me water when I was stranded on an interstate journey in the middle belt. In fact, many of my fellow christian travelers were keeping their water and food to themselves and their families. It was a muslim that gave me water and kilichi to manage in the hot sun while trying to get to our destination. 3 Likes |

AllNaijaBlogger: I wish I knew you when I was actually living on this section and arguing like I was paid to do it. I would have loved to hear you come out in defence of atheists and these ridiculous ideas you espouse in your rather arrogant denunciation of Christians. I'm going to hope that at the very least you do believe the Bible that defines what Christianity is. You can doubt Christians all you want and denounce us for all the terrible things you may have suffered at our hands and I can understand and even sympathize.. But if you are one of those "Christians" who don't believe the Bible to be wholly true and authoritative I won't even waste my time discussing with you. Now, assuming you do believe the Bible... There is no Christian doctrine that judges a man for his actions and not his faith alone. The Christian doctrine holds that a man's faith or lack thereof can be judged from his actions. If a man has faith, his actions will show it. If he lacks it, they will too. Thus you cannot divorce faith from acts. A Christian is not one because of his protestations that he is one but because he does things that are consistent with the character of the Christ that he professes. That is the fifth time I'm explaining that now. As for what faith is, I don't know where you got your own definition but in Hebrews 11:1, it is said to be the SUBSTANCE of things hoped for and the EVIDENCE of things unseen. Faith is said to be substantial and measurable by the Bible itself. It is not some protestation, it is something that can be seen and measured. In other words, like James said, faith is seen through actions. Will atheists and other "non-Christians" go to heaven? I know only one answer: if any man believes in the Son of God he has everlasting life, if any man does not he is already condemned. I couldn't make it any simpler than that. When we start wondering about the fairness of God in sending people who never heard about Christ to hell, my answer is that it is not God's interest or desire at all that anybody should perish so I'm fully satisfied that he won't just haul people into hell when they never had a chance to hear of Christ. As for those who heard but didn't yield, it is up to them to ask themselves why. What is so terrible or frightening about kneeling to Christ Jesus? When they figure it out they'll know whether they even want to be in heaven with him. |

plaetton: Lol. And what has stopped you who both understand the message of Jesus and are not lazy, indolent or a moral recalcitrant from becoming practically an apostle for him? You may even undo all the damage that Paul did! What are you doing always looking in at the window and cursing everything inside except the name at the door? |

I agree that some atheists come off as arrogant mockers but it is possible that the christians that they mock too are also arrogant.

ihedinobi2: You will never bring any atheist to Christ with this arrogant and unreasonable doctrine you hold. I was like you when I was younger but now I am grown up and I realise that people have reasons for what they believe in. Rather than sanctimonious condemnation to hell, I'd rather know WHY the unbeliever chooses to believe differently from the message of the bible. 4 Likes |
Re: Why Should An Atheist Go To Hell? by plaetton: 6:00am On May 26, 2015 |
ihedinobi2:Lol. I have great doubts that Jesus actually existed, but the moral teachings attributed him make sense, and are the universal ethos found in every religion and philosophy. I do believe that it is little minded and misguided folks and simpletons that ignore the message to worship the messenger. Paul was a liar and fraudster. he admitted as much. But his message of non responsibility appeals to simpletons like you and your type. If you need belief, faith and fear to be of good moral character, then I say again, that I a better human being than you, because, I am morally and ethically responsible ,...all by myself. No sky fairies or skymonsters, or the fear of eternal barbecues required. 4 Likes |

texanomaly: Tex, belief limits action. If you believe in Christ you will do as Christ says. If you do things that contradict what Christ stands for then you have already denied him. The judgment day is for discovering the truth of every claim. On that day if someone has been deceiving himself that he is Christ's while living in disobedience to the same Christ he will see the truth of his claims and receive his due reward. I'm surprised by this question. Why would you even ask it? Jesus died for the whole world. The Bible says exactly that, does it not? |
Re: Why Should An Atheist Go To Hell? by ihedinobi2: 8:41am On May 26, 2015 |
AllNaijaBlogger: Lol. "Arrogant and unreasonable doctrine". Oh my God!!! You think I need to adjust the Bible to make Christ more attractive to insatiable smart alecs that think they know everything and are better than God himself, people who openly admit that they are laws unto themselves. Spare me, please. It's too early to make jokes. My job too as an evangelist is not to bring men anywhere. It is to be Christ's witness, that is, I am to help confirm that what he claims is true. Whether those who see and hear me believe what they see and hear is their own choice and responsibility. What I must not do is bear false witness about Christ. You were like me when you were younger? Age has not done you well then. I too was like you only a few years ago. By the mercies of God I changed. I don't miss the days when I fought God on behalf of his enemies while wearing his name all to be the enlightened one among my brothers, the one who knew better. That had to be a whole other level of funny. Why adjust God to suit men who openly insist that he would never be good enough for them? The very God who was willing to break all limits just to make them family with himself? I will never allow myself to be that enlightened again in my life. I pray you also come to the same place. As for why they choose to disbelieve the Bible, I've spent years asking why. In the end it is a profound arrogance. And I'm not indifferent to it. I'm a man too. I know the deception of arrogance really well. That is why I care enough to participate in these discussions sometimes. |
Re: Why Should An Atheist Go To Hell? by ihedinobi2: 8:49am On May 26, 2015 |
plaetton: Then your interest in atheists' condemnation to hell makes no sense. It is so obvious that it is actually painful now to see that you don't know anything of the things you speak of. I could explain a seventh time about faith/belief and character and you would still repeat the above. Just like you're stuck in some kind of loop. If it will help you at all (I doubt that it will but still), I don't care about your opinion of Paul, myself or Jesus. You waste your time voicing them. |

johnydon22: Lolzzz ... I just created a nice 'dealing with misconceptions' thread . it garnered close to 8 pages of comments or so - my solid point? To give a different view of creation and open people's mind to that fact To other day I created a nice thread of an sa pastor who strips his members unclad and steps on them - my solid point? To expose ills of Christianity and wrong practices Like I earlier said bro , look carefully I defend my faith in God and mock the atheist . I hate reasoning with you guys . Offcourse , is it not --- Today God exists , He does not exist ... Tomorrow same thing ... Next tomorrow God exists , He does not exist . Every single day , next year the same thing . Some are doing this for two years now Tufiakwa ! Religion section was meant for challenging Christian topics to be discussed but you guys will always come and ruin in it with 'God exists , He does not exist' none sense. How am I going to reason with someone who says/asks -who created God -mary was in trauma because she was pregnant with Christ -all pastors are fake because they're rich -all religious people are failures -will an atheist go to hell for doubting God (while you're asking , I browse through your thread and see you mocking God's principles )etc etc Its so exasperating !!! You guys have no point . Instead of humbling yourselves and let good bible students explain Christianity to you , you open threads , ask dumb questions and make jest of the whole thing . |

ihedinobi2: You are the one "adjusting" the bible's message. The good Samaritan was not a christian. Samaritans did not follow Christ or Judaism. If Jesus could use the Good Samaritan to relate to heaven (eternal life), who are you to state that unbelievers cant go to heaven because of not having faith in Christ? 3 Likes |
