HardMirror let me help you rephrase is.. the strength of religion is FEAR in disguise called FAITH... Thats is the key to unlocking religion. If you can explunge that fear.. you are damn free. Fear of displeasing some sky daddy, fear of going to hell, fear of disappointing your pastor especially if they are your parents, fear of thinking different and be punished for it. That is why they will tell you, Do not read or study anything outside what they tell you so that you will not be corrupt. I recall back then in secondary school when we were to choose our field of study, it was proclaimed that, anyone who reads science loses faith in God, i was like its not possible, I cant, I know my God, bla bla bla... Then science did not make me lost faith in God, it only gave me so much reasons to know that some percieved supernatural is jeolous of me. Just Like Achellies told the priestess of troy he took for himself "Let me tell you one thing you are nor told in your temple, THE GODS ARE JELEOUS OF US BECAUSE WE ARE MORTAL". Anyway.. My curiousity led be away from God.



Am glad you made this statement because i lost my girlfriend because she could not stomach the fact that i am no longer the fire brand christian she once knew me even though, i assured her, i wnt interfere with her religious life provided it wont interfere with my marriage (i.e if we end up together). Well, i was expecting it anyway.. its part of the price to pay to know and stand for the truth. I have not regretted my decision. Cheers. I have to sleep, cos i want to go to church early to watch some drama unfold.. i cant afford to miss it..

Mr HardMirror and friends, let me tell you something you've probably waited to hear from Christians but haven't heard it. It's totally alright for you to once have believed and then decide it's not worth it to you. It's perfectly OK. And this goes to the rest of the atheists here.

Honestly, we don't judge you. We might come off as if we do, but we don't. In all reality, we are trying to wrap our heads around the fact that the glaring truth is still difficult to see, but let's step aside from that shall we?

You are free to tell your story. You are free to think what you want. You really don't need our permission. You also don't need to get an altar and begin ministrations (I mean that's a totally Christian thing to do and you are not one of us, yea)? And by podium, this right here Mr Hardmamn is a desperate attempt by you to "preach" a "gospel" only that it's the "Gospel according to Mr Hardmann". Leave the Christian things for Chriatians, would you?

Before I leave, I want to correct something, for the record. Anybody you know, that is a 'Chriatian' as a result of fear, really doesn't know Christ (I wouldn't be surprised if we dig deeper and realised you have your life in the first place out of fear).

I love giving examples, so here goes one. When you were born, were you afraid of your parents? no. When you started growing up and getting to different levels of responsibilities, did you realise some of your actions were punishable- Yes. Did you try not to do those actions- Yes. Did you still do them- Yes. Did you get forgiven- Yes. Did you become so afraid of your parents it led you to 'do the right thing'-this happened to some people and it did hamper their relationship with their parents!

My point is this, Christianity is born on the foundations of love not fear. Don't mislead the general public.

Your attention seeking posts are good enough, don't add lies on top of it!

HardMirror:
CONTINUATION...
MIRACLES!
Yeah! I mean it miracles were real. They don't happen always, but they did happen and still happen.
Also most of the gift of the spirit (Note GIFT of spirit is different from Fruit of the spirit). So I had the gift of word of knowledge strongly at work in me. I could easily tell people what was going on in their lives. This made me rise very fast in my school fellowship then and I was highly revered.
This gift made me the perfect candidate to anchor revivals and preach during our out reaches (crusades).
I am not good at teaching scripture, tho I was very vast. But I made sure I used my gift at every opportunity. Reason why it was easy for me to have so many converts.
When I preach people end Up rolling on the floor crying.
By the way I was a member of Anglican Student Fellowship. But I was nothing of the typical Anglican. I was a man of the spirit.
I preach with my eyes closed. I hardly open my eyes. I just go on stage and start delivering the word as the spirit lead. I start revealing the problems people are going thru, I start revealing the sins people were commiting in secret and before you know it the whole fellowship is crying . People will be rolling on the floor crying.
How could Bro...... Now end up being an atheist?

Alfamann:
I already know how I will spend eternity: with Satan in Hell.

My fear will be finding myself in heaven after insulting doG and his gay son.

Be it onto you Alfamann, according to your words and your wishes. Lord knows you heard the word.

lordnicklaus:
I do not follow Christianity, I follow the Bible and I have come to realise that Christianity teaches the opposite. I know a lot even than you do. Christians believe all they are told without making research to find out the truth. If one cannot be righteous enough, could you please define "righteousness" with the best possible term. And what of the righteous men who died before Christ arrived, will they be in hell? My question again. If I was truly righteous in Christ and I immediately died after commiting my ever first sin, will God be justified in damning me forever and not just for the same time I committed my sin.

There is nothing, absolutely nothing like first ever sin. If you follow the Bible like you said you do, you would see we are told "ALL have sinned and fallen short". We were all born into a world of sin. Perfect example, do you teach children to lie? No. How then does an "innocent" child tell you "I didn't do it" when asked if they did something they've been warned not to do?

Now to answer your question, the Holy Spirit quickens your heart always when you Sin. You are made aware within seconds. Recently, I have been made aware and very conscious of the fact that God truly does make a way of escape in every temptation. Now if He does that, I know, He does give opportunities for repentance after sin.

So a man commits Sin. God is aware that according to the time of life or according to the plan of the devil, He is about to die. If He is a Chriatian and is in tune with the Holy Spirit, He is prompted immediately and has the chance of asking God for mercy and God does forgive easily.

Lemme paint this picture, have you ever lied? Do you realise that after lying (if it's not a habit yet), you feel terrible? Like I should have told the truth. That right there is a chance given.

On the other hand, when we have been prompted and prompted and we let our conscience die, it becomes second nature (habit) and at that point it's too late.

I hope you get it....God help you and I and us all.

The islamic hell awaits u. I so pity u. Sinner oshi. Allah will send u to hell fire where u ll suffer for disbelivin in his prophet muhammad. U have no xcuse as he has giving u the holy quran and he sent his prophet . he has obviously done the best he can do.

# the islamic hell awaits u d moment u breathe ur last

I take it very personal,that you would call my fiancé (Edelweiss is my fiancé) "Oshi". I would come after you with similar words, but I decide to tell you something greater, I leave you to God. I would have deleted you off here, but then no delete button.... Silence is still the best answer so you would be duly ignored henceforth.

ValentineMary:
Do they have pen and paper in hell? What pen did he use was in Leo Smart or Lucky pen Christians just keep on making their beliefs look more foolish and unrealistic

First of all, you don't come to people's page's with your cyber bullying self, calling them foolish. It's rude and already shows a lot about who you are.

Secondly, have you ever heard the word 'fiction' hmmn? Google is your friend.

Third, in these last days, nobody is trying to 'sell' Christianity to you. Even the Lord has said when His word is rejected to "dust the sand off the sole of your feet" and move on. You either believe or you don't. Obviously you don't, your choice! Don't come here and start insulting those who do.

We (Christian's) already were pre informed, that our belief would be viewed as foolishness before those who don't believe like you, so it's alright. We do reach out because we are aware how terrible it would be when the curtain is drawn.

So you, my friend, can carry on with your life. At least you've heard the word...go on and choose you this day who you would serve. So long.....
