Why Do Men Choose to be UNSAVED?
I always wondered this, it baffles the mind. Here, you have God, it is clear as day that He is the Creator, but men refuse to come in to the light. Why? This verse explains it:
-John 3:19
"This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. 21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God."
An unsaved man loves his sin and remains unsaved due in part because he refuses to give his sin up. He might understand he need to be saved, but he will not come to the light in repentance and forsake his sin. The love of sin is the mark of a lost man.
Ladies and gentlemen of angergeneral. Please. We all know we do some pretty bad things. But why embrace those bad things we do? Please acknowledge you are sinner and cast those sins upon the Righteous, Blameless One who came and Died for you.
Please, come into the light. I could never ever explain to an unsaved person the pure joy and Blessed assurance I have being saved and accepted by God. Unless you are saved you just can't understand. How do I know I am God's child? My heart, the depths of my soul confirms it. It's supernatural. I know it may not make sense, but please, ask to be enlightened to the TRUTH and it WILL be given to you. Seek and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened to you.
"Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen."
-John 3:19

Re: Why Do Men Choose to be UNSAVED?
I know my little blurbs on God, Jesus and salvation will probably never net any real conversions, but it still needs to be said. And after many of you have read them you will be without excuse come the Day of Judgment, for you have had the manuscript to accept God's Son but trampled it under your feet.

Well, in short, yes that's correct. It's sad to me and should be to any believer. Because we can see their eternal destiny. They will not be comforted on that day. They will be in torment in the flames.zombiesonics wrote:Because they are God-less heathens.

Re: Why Do Men Choose to be UNSAVED?
Since you have made the salvation of the members of this board a priority why don't you turn that priority into action. Why don't you give a written sermon of how Christ has made you a better person than those who don't know him as their savior.

It would be more believable if he wasn't breaking multiple commandments on a regular basis on this board.WiseGuy wrote:Since you have made the salvation of the members of this board a priority why don't you turn that priority into action.

Re: Why Do Men Choose to be UNSAVED?
God could possibly present the evidence to us in a way that is about 1000x more obvious to a skeptical, rational person, if he wants us to be saved.
He is kind of being an asshole about it...give man brains that (with time) point against his existence, give no serious evidence of his own existence, and then troll face as he throws people into hellfire (or separation from God if you interpret Hell in that manner).

Taking a break from the board. Please reference my last post for more details if you are interested.

Re: Why Do Men Choose to be UNSAVED?
Seeing how you are so into God and how you actually behave on here the majority of the time let's me know I'm ok with the side I have chosen. Be honest with yourself, God is embarrassed by you. He would never do the shit you do. Some of us are just decent people all the time. You need him. You need him to keep you in line. Think of how you behave and you actually worship him. I can only imagine how you'd act if you didn't have that fear.

Re: Why Do Men Choose to be UNSAVED?
I can, but just because you have not fully brought your Christianity onto this board, what's preventing you from doing the same testimony?WiseGuy wrote:Since you have made the salvation of the members of this board a priority why don't you turn that priority into action.

Re: Why Do Men Choose to be UNSAVED?
I am fully saved but yet still struggle with sin. The Bible says that we will struggle with sin until the day we die. You have no dirt on me and that hasn't been seen. I try, I repent often, God sees my true motives, you are an accuser, like your father, the devil has been and continues to be. The Devil goes to the very throne of God to accuse Christians, you are doing the same.manchild98 wrote:Seeing how you are so into God and how you actually behave on here the majority of the time let's me know I'm ok with the side I have chosen.

Re: Why Do Men Choose to be UNSAVED?
Why do you always have to chime in with the obligatory "another religious thread." I say the same thing when I see a lebron or kobe thread and you know what I do? I don't click on them and I ignore them and look for some other thread to participate in. Perhaps you can do the same?Da Stars. wrote:Oh shit. Another religion thread on a sports board.

Re: Why Do Men Choose to be UNSAVED?
I dont claim to be perfect, for if I were, Jesus would not needed to die for me. Instead of pointing out my sin, and pointing fingers at me, how about you pay attention to the 3 other fingers pointing right back at yourself and deal with your own sin and your present unsaved condition.ripper76 wrote:It would be more believable if he wasn't breaking multiple commandments on a regular basis on this board.WiseGuy wrote:Since you have made the salvation of the members of this board a priority why don't you turn that priority into action.

Re: Why Do Men Choose to be UNSAVED?
No. The sins you commit on this board aren't sins one can contribute to happenstance like looking at an attractive woman, mentally undressing her, and imagining having sex with her. You came on here and crated a false identity, attacked those who called you out on it, all the while fostering hate against groups and individuals.CleveTown™ wrote:I am fully saved but yet still struggle with sin.

You are deliberately being an awful witness. Just in this thread, and within our small community, you have made that obvious.
If you really loved the Lord you would kill the entire Clevetown character.
Take the above as tough talk from a Dutch uncle.

Using his sins against him doesn't hold any weight in regards to anything discussed here. Not even your sins, Jody Stifle.
