“Maybe your God can't wait to hit you over the head for not being holy enough (mind you I doubt no matter how hard you try you could measure up) -- mine loves me just as I am." Lucia Adler-Madar

Lucia, you have just violated the First and the Second of the Ten Commandments by making up your own image of God--one to suit yourself...one with which you feel comfortable.

Your god would never punish Hitler for slaughtering six million Jews. That’s because your god doesn't exist. He's a figment of your imagination (the place where we make “images”).

There is one Creator. He is absolute moral perfection, and you have to face Him on Judgment Day no matter what you make up about Him. You desperately need the Saviour, just like the rest of us. Please check out www.NeedGod.com

“I have a question Ray Comfort. If I remember correctly you once said during a debate with Matt Dillahunty (or maybe AronRa) that evolution isn't an issue. What did you mean by that?” Joshua Haas

www.nairaland.com/attachments/11996700_flyingplane_jpeg5990862381ea7f7c71897f18c64d653f

You are flying across beautiful New Zealand with about a dozen American tourists in a small chartered plane. As you gaze at a massive snow-capped and rugged mountain in the distance, the pilot quickly brings you back to reality. His voice is noticeably strained as he says that he is having serious problems controlling the plane. He soberly says that he is going to ditch the plane and that you must listen carefully if you want to live.

He calms your fears by telling you that the maker of the plane has made sure that there are enough parachutes under the seats for every passenger. He tells you to quickly reach under your seat and to put one on because the jump will happen at any moment.

Without warning, the plane suddenly drops a horrifying thousand feet creating chaos by sending cups and boiling coffee flying, burning passengers, and seriously injuring a flight attendant. You don’t need any more convincing that he is telling you the truth. You quickly reach under your seat. The parachute is attached exactly where the pilot said it would be.

The man next to you is wearing earphones and watching a movie on his laptop. You tap him on the arm and say, “Excuse me. You had better take the earphones off.” Then you explain what the pilot has just said. To your amazement the man says, “I don’t believe him. He’s lying. I believe that this plane had no maker.” You are dumbfounded and ask why he would believe such a crazy thing. He answers that he thinks it fell together by chance. Then he said that the instruction booklet was bogus because he had found mistakes in it. When you ask him to be specific he smugly points to the word “neighbour,” and the word “colour.” You tell him that in New Zealand and the rest of the English-speaking world, both those words are spelled that way. Only America drops the “u.” He laughs at you and calls you an idiot for believing that, adding that he thought the graphics showing how to put the parachute on were simplistic.

You become very concerned that he is going to die if he stays with the plane, so you warn him that he will die without the parachute. He says that you are using fear tactics; you have a death-wish, that you are a weak-minded and manipulative person who is fearful of dying.

Then he asks you if you think the plane is old or young. You tell him that the issue is unimportant to you. You just want him to put the parachute on, and then he can talk about the age of the plane.

He insists that it’s extremely old, and that proves that no one made it. You reason with him by telling him that the chaos on the flight backs up what the pilot has told the passengers and so does the reality of the parachute under the seat. He thinks the chaos on the flight it the way it should be. Then he laughs at you and goes back to his movie.

Here is a proud and arrogant man who will find in time that what you have said is true. You look across the aisle and see another passenger who is enjoying a movie, and he’s not wearing a parachute. You reach out and tap him on the arm…

www.nairaland.com/attachments/11996691_bibleexplainsnothing_jpeg8e7f5853723531fc768639298cc513f2

The Bible explains everything—from our origins, our purpose, our destiny, to why there is death and suffering, and how to find everlasting life. However, these truths are hidden from the proud heart.

Gordon Sylvester in response to the depiction below:

Here is the problem when Christians try and reconcile the false belief of evolution with the Bible.

If evolution were in fact true, then there would have been death from the beginning.
If there was death from the beginning then death didn't enter at the fall of man.
If death didn't enter at the fall then death is not the result of sin and there is no need for a Saviour.

But evolution isn't true, it isn't even a true theory since is can be duplicated not is it observable. It is therefore just a hypothesis.

When God said He made man in His image, that was instant creation, He said He created every creature and plant according to its kind.
There was no goo-to-you that occurred.

Adaptation is a whole other thing but a canine while adapting remains a canine for example.

No one can answer that but God. Make peace with Him and if you ask in humility, He may reveal it to you. In the meanwhile, don’t end up in Hell being punished for your many sins, just because this bothers you.

"Please explain why I should get down on my knees and start pleasing an immoral, judgmental, childish, inferior, insecure, genocidal maniac God!"

www.nairaland.com/attachments/11984972_atheistbowbeforegod_jpeg40690248b733873854b8e8db0c4fa0b2

Because you are the one who is immoral, judgmental, childish, inferior, insecure, self-righteous, blasphemous and godless--with the ultimate delusion of grandeur in thinking that you can stand in moral judgment over Almighty God.

You need to look closely at your own sins in the light of the Ten Commandments.

Words of Comfort: Sodom's sin.

www.nairaland.com/attachments/11984963_audacitywatch_jpeg70cb305c4d4b87dc7516336ad2e06fbf

Some claim that Sodom was judged because of their "inhospitality." However, the Bible is clear that Sodom was given over to homosexuality. The Scriptures say that Lot was "oppressed by the sensual conduct of unprincipled men"--people who "indulge the flesh in its corrupt desires and despise authority" (2 Peter 2:7-10). Jude 1:7 warns “Sodom and Gomorrah…having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.”

www.nairaland.com/attachments/11996654_atheistnot_jpeg94b7c5b1a3adb8a56adb686dd2585b16

None of the above were atheists. Not even Hitler. Hitler was a Roman Catholic, who used God for political gain. Fancy that.
The rest were theists. Einstein didn't believe in a "personal" God, and hated it when he was called an atheist. His gripe was with the God of the Bible (the One who condemned adultery). See if you can figure why he was offended.

www.nairaland.com/attachments/11853684_questionsforskeptics1_jpegc36d87836bd3354cfbd128d790abeb3c

The real question is, how can we have peace here on earth knowing that so many are heading for Hell? Such thoughts should crowd our minds rather than a thousand and one nebulous questions about Heaven that will be answered in eternity. God will have those bases covered. You can be sure of that.

www.nairaland.com/attachments/11984959_evolutionbelieved_jpeg59da0a1884b5cea01a5a381eac0047bf

Darwinian evolution is unobservable and untestable. That's why it is so faith-based. We know God exists because of Nature/creation (observation), and He is testable because He reveals Himself to all who obey Him (see John 14:21).

That's like saying, “Judge, you need to remember that rape only counts if you believe it is rape. I don't recognize rape."
It is amazing that anyone who purports to be intelligent would think that something doesn't exist just because he or she doesn't believe in it.

www.nairaland.com/attachments/11985218_atheistquestioned_jpege4e194b153422d8e275b8cecbd29c13a

The Bible says that God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked. In the end it will be far more than a mere 20 million that God puts to death. All of us will die, because all of us have sinned: "The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23

www.nairaland.com/attachments/11990175_slaveryinthebible_jpegedb038ac56d78994810cdaa93a8d21bd

If a Hebrew was in debt he could work off that debt by being a "bond-servant" or "slave." We put negative connotations on the word “slave” because Americans kidnapped Africans, sold them as bond-servants and treated them with great cruelty. God prescribed the death sentence for kidnapping.

God told Abraham to "offer" Isaac, and when he was about to kill him, God stopped him (see Genesis 22). This is a Bible "type"-- of God sending His “only-begotten Son” to suffer for the sin of the world. Any dirt we try and throw at God will always come back down on us, because He is without sin.

Bjarte Bjørkum Hansen said: "No evidence for Your claim."

Ray answers: Most atheists make absolute statements without thinking. But to make an absolute statement (and for it to be true), they need absolute (total) knowledge, something no human being possesses. You are not God, so the best you can claim is that you don't know if there is any evidence of God's existence. Even this isn't true because every one of us intuitively know the Creator exists because of the order of Nature and the existence of the God-given society-shaped conscience.

Ray answers: Someone ate an apple (it's evident that you don't know your Bible)? What makes sinners happy is sin. Men love darkness rather than light. But their joy is temporary. Ours will be eternal.

One other thing you have wrong. Guilt ENDS at the cross. Submission to God means that our sins are completely forgiven, because of what Jesus did on the cross. For a clear understanding of this, watch www.evolutionVsGod.com (over a million views).

William Hartnell said: "Ray, what proof and evidence do you have that Hell is good and just?"

Ray answers: I watched a sickening documentary recently about the cruelty of the Nazis. I also thought about another program I saw on TV years ago. It was about a man who kidnapped a small family and took them to his home in a remote location. He then murdered the young father and his little boy, buried them in his backyard, and chained the young woman to his bed where he kept her as a sex slave until he also murdered her. He video-taped her pleading for her life and asking why he would do such a thing to her precious family. He coldly answered, "Because I don't like you!"

Multiply Nazi Germany and other vicious evils like this one a million times over, and you have to ask the question, "If God is good, how can Hell NOT exist?"

Ray answers: In a world of continual violence, terrible wars, terrorism, child rape, disease and death, there are more important things to be deeply unsettled about than a Christian's assurance that he has everlasting life. Islam is the religion that kills those who don't believe, and thinks that God will reward them with sex, for murder.

You will spend years correcting her and teaching her to do what is right, because she will intuitively know how to do what is morally wrong.
