I answered a series of common criticisms.
I’m bisexual and have different opinions on religion than others. Anyone want to save me? My personal view on religion is that god created the earth six or seven billion years ago and hasn’t interfered since. I believe god looks less like a bearded jehova and more of a biblically actuate angel, except more grand.
In order for there to have been billions of years, they have to have taken place after the time of Christ, since Scripture is clear on how many years were from the creation of earth until the time of Christ. From the creation of earth until Christ is approximately four thousand years. We can't be sure how long it's been since then, but many believe it to be two thousand years approximately.
Bold of you to assume that Christ is part of this scenario. I believe Christ existed. But he wasn’t important.
It is bold i indeed. May He save you.
I generally respect the Christian faith. What I don’t respect is when people use the name of god to push their own opinions. If I go to hell, it’s going to be for my actions, not my beliefs. Christianity will keep getting disrespected if people like you keep acting this way.
Scripture is clear that people go to hell for both their beliefs and their actions, ii and that believers will be hated by the world.
If god loves everyone, then why is he so hateful?
God hates everyone and sends people that He loves to hell.
At some point, the wrath of billions of damned souls shall become more powerful than any divine beings.
It will never be more powerful than God, and it will never be full. iii
Two thousand years of the interpretation of god words being translated thousands of times.
God preserves His Word, even in the hands of the wicked. iv
Saving people shouldn’t mean hurting them. Gay conversion therapy. What about the past one thousand and five hundred years of antisemitism in Europe?
Who is being hurt by being saved? Nobody in our church is doing conversion therapy. Our position is that most churches are not in the truth, and that most self described Christians are not saved.
You’re simply one of many churches saying they can save people. You speak as if you are superior to the other churches yet wallow in the court of your ignorance. The scripture is faulty due to the fact that it’s been translated thousands of times.
Compare what we say and what they say to what Scripture says. v If we have something wrong, please show me with Scripture. We go by the original Greek Hebrew and Aramaic, but even the English translations like NKJV are fine for the most part. God preserves His Word. vi
You have good intentions. But they are perverted by your subconscious sin that dwells in your mind. I could shoot you point blank in the face, and when you got out of the hospital you’d say that it was the miracle of god; not simply modern medicine. I’m going to go masturbate because it’s god’s plan for me.
We all have evil intentions, vii and God causes few viii to turn from it. ix I would say that God caused you to do it, that He caused me to be healed by the modern medicine, and that I am thankful for the whole ordeal. x It's not wrong to masturbate, but everything is wrong to those who lack belief. xi
- Proverbs 28:
The wicked flee when no one pursues,
But the righteous are bold as a lion. - John 5:
28 Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice 29 and come forth—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.

- Proverbs 27:
20 Hell and Destruction are never full;
So the eyes of man are never satisfied. - Jeremiah 2:
8 The priests did not say, ‘Where is the Lord?’
And those who handle the law did not know Me;
The rulers also transgressed against Me;
The prophets prophesied by Baal,
And walked after things that do not profit.Bold added. ^
- Acts 17:
11 These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so.

5 Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
- Matthew 7:
13 “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.
- 1 Peter 3:
10 For
“He who would love life
And see good days,
Let him refrain his tongue from evil,

Let him seek peace and pursue it. - Ephesians 5:

- Proverbs 28:
9 One who turns away his ear from hearing the law,
Even his prayer is an abomination.
