Grandtheftcow said:This seems to be the appropriate place to make an introduction.
I'm here to fill out the atheist demographic by spreading the evil atheist world conspiracy around and worshipping Satan, or whatever it is you think non-believers do.
Actually I find religious boards interesting because those who believe in faith think in an entirely different way than I do. It makes for both interesting and challenging discussion.
Hopefully things go well and I can stick around for awhile.
SadieLady said:I am so thankful that I serve a risen Saviour!! Christ gave his life so that I would not have to go to hell. I am so thankful that we have a God who came down to this earth knowing that He would be crucified on the Old Rugged Cross. If it were not for God, then I may be burning in hell today. Jesus Christ saved my soul at the age of 12 years old. My life has never been the same. I know when there are hard times, He is there in the midst of trouble!! He sacrificed his life to save mine!!!!! Alls we have to do is come by faith, realizing that we are sinners lost and we deserve hell, and ask God to come into our hearts.
Christ is the ONLY way to get to Heaven. He is the one that GAVE his life on that Old Rugged Cross, where he faced pain, misery, agony, torment, and pain. He went through all of this becasue He loves us! He arose on the third day. He is the only and true way to get to Heaven. All those who reject Christ, will die and go to a firey pit called hell.
What is it exactly do atheist do? Who ever rejects Christ, will have to face Him one day, and they will be cast into the fiery pits of hell. But praise God, He gave us a free gift that can save our soul from the depths of hell. Praise God, I know where I am going when I die!!! I am going to a WONDERFUL place called Heaven where milk and honey flows!!! I love my PRECIOUS Lord, Jesus Christ. He is my MASTER, REDEEMER, GUIDER, SHIELD, MY STRENGTH, MY EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Grandtheftcow said:But what evidence do you base all the above assumptions on? Ancient scripture? The popularity of the belief? Or does it just make sense to you? Faith requires someone else to tell you what to believe and then believe it with no question of that persons authority. How do you accept this particular religion despite the myth of creationism, the absurdities of Noah's flood, the distasteful morals of the old testament, the Bible's treatment and view of women, and the prophecies Jesus failed to fulfill from the old testament?
Have you looked at the doctrine with a critical mind or is doubt not permitted because it might shake your faith?
SadieLady said:I thank God for the precious Holy Bible!!! I base all of my beliefs on God's precious and Holy Book. I base my beliefs on what God has put into my heart! The Bible has never been proven wrong and never will be proven wrong!! Everything in the Blessed Old King James Bible is exactly true!
Actually yes, there are many people who believe that Jesus Christ died on an Old Rugged Cross to save our wretched souls from hell, but I don't base my belief on how many people believe it. That is something you cannot do. I base my belief on Jesus Christ my Lord!! Actually there are not many people who have the same beliefs as I do concerning seperation and standards. I am an Independent Fundamental Bible-Believing Baptist young woman.
Faith reqiures what you set in your heart, and what you believe. Yes, true we may not can see God, but I surely FEEL him in my heart!!!!!!!! God has saved my life spiritually, emotionally, physically, mentally!! Just like you cannot see the wind, or the air, but you feel and see the effects of it. Well, I may not be able to physically see the Lord, but I see and feel the effects of my Lord Jesus Christ!! I don't get how you can look at all trees, and oceans, and life in general and say that there is not a God!!!! If it were not for God saving me, then I could be in hell today. I will take my daddy for an example. My dad was into drugs, drinking, fightinng, going to bars, and all those things like that. One night my dad went to a Baptist church, and He got saved!!!!!!!!!!!! Christ came into his heart!!!!!!!! After that night, my dad has never drank another beer, or vodka or anything like that. He has never touched drugs again, He has never smoked anything again, He has never gone to the bars or anything like that again!!!! How do you explain that???? I explain it as my Lord Jesus Christ changing an old life into a brand new!! Just like when I accepted Chris as my Saviour! Sure I always grew up in a Christian home, but I still needed to be saved!!!!! That night on July 24, 1999 Christ came into my heart. He saved my soul from hell. That night my desires changed. Before yeah, I was going to church but sometimes I didn't really want to. But Christ changed my desires. He changed my heart, and gave me a new!!!! And yes, I am not going to say that just because you have Christ in your heart that you will not go through hard times, because you will. But every time I have gone through a hard time, CHRIST HAS BEEN RIGHT BY MY SIDE!!! Unlike this world and the devil, when times get hard, Christ will never leave us!!!!!!! He will always be there with us through the midst of trouble!!!!!!!!!!! This world, they will leave you. The devil will leave you. The devil is never there for you. he just wants to trap us, and he wants us to go to hell. He trys to decieve us, and make us think that God is not real, and there is no such place as hell. But once he has corrupted your mind, and you die, then you will be faced with those fiery flames, and he will be laughing in your face.
And the answer to your question, yes, I have looked at my life, and my beliefs. Not on what my pastor or my parents or what anybody else sais. But what God has put into my heart!!! Christ came into my heart, and there is NO WAY that I can reject him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes sure there are many things I may not comprehend or understand but we are not meant to understand everything. That is where we go BY FAITH!!!!!!! And trust!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And yes, I could have more faith in my life about who God has for me in marriage, and things like that. But there is no doubt in my mind, that I serve a REAL and RISEN SAVIOUR!!!!!!!!!!
I see all those times where I prayed. And God answers my prayers!!! They may not be exactly a yes, but He answers them!!!!!! There have been times where I have prayed for pizza, and He delivered. There are times where we were in need, and we did not have any groceries. He delivered!!!!! I have prayed for new dresses, and a coupld days later, somebody gave me some money to go buy one. How do you explain that and say that there is not a God?????? How do you expain a drug addict, and God changing Him to a brand new person and say that there is not a God???? How do you explain the Love that He puts into our hearts, and say that there is not a God???? He can and WILL put His love into all those lost hearts if they would come to Him!!!!!!
About a year ago, I had a chance to witness to a lost girl who took God's name in vain just about every other minute. I held off on witnessing to her about the Lord. And you know what, this past Christmas, she died on a four wheeler wreck. I have her blood on my hands!!! If I had of witnessed to that girl, then maybe she would have got saved. And she would not be burning in hell today. I want you to read a story that I wrote...
Only If I Could Go Back
Oh, if I could go back I would. Each second of my life is full of pain and agony. I go back to that moment where it all happened. I hate being in this place. Only if I could I could just get a little taste of water. I am all alone burning in this bottomless pit. Each flame that consumes my body makes me cry out and scream. It hurts so bad to be down in this awful, dark, and dreadful place. There is not a day that goes by that I ask God to give me some water, and just let me be the girl I once was. I would go back in a heart beat to live the life I used to have.
It all started at the age of sixteen years old. I grew up with parents who were always church going. On the outside it looked like I was a Christian, but on the inside was bursting with rage and anger. I wanted to live my own life, without anyone telling me what I could do or where I could go. Each time my parents told me that I could not date this guy or wear this, I would get upset, and I would burst inside with rage and furry. I just wanted to be a normal teenage girl who dated guys, and who lives the partying life.
One day I met this guy at school who seemed like a great guy. Everything about him was all I dreamed of. He looked at me in that special way. I started to skip school and hang out with him. He would tell me that he loved me, and my heart would melt. I would follow him anywhere, anytime. Little did I know, that my rebellion would lead into a life full of misery and pain. My father finally got fed up with the way I was acting. He kicked me out of the house, and I moved in with my boyfriend. He made me feel like I was the only person that could ever matter to him. One night he took me to a bar, and it was there that I tasted my first beer. I became drunk that night for the first time. One drink was not enough. One led into another. Anything I did was never enough to satisfy me.
Each time I would drink, I would want more. Each time I would go out with my boyfriend, I would want more. Nothing could satisfy me. Deep inside I always hated my parents. They raised me in the so-called " Christian" lifestyle. I hated it! I hated God, and I hated everything that they stood for. If it were up to me at that time, I would have dropped everything and just died. In the inside I was not happy. I don’t think there was a time I was ever happy. As a little girl growing up, I would be daddy’s little girl, but the older I came, the more I rebelled. The more I would want to get out of their world and live my own. My parents taught me that " Christian" lifestyle. I did not want any of that. I wanted that partying, living my own way kind of life. I did not have want to have any responsibilities. I just wanted to have fun.
The only thing I cared about was my boyfriend. I could have cared less if my parents or their God dropped dead. All I wanted was to be happy living with my boyfriend. Six months passed and deep inside I was still not happy. I only acted as if I were enjoying my lifestyle. I loved my boyfriend, but it was to the point where he would get controlling of me. I could not do anything without his permission. By the time I was seventeen and a half, I became pregnant. The only thing I can say is that I was miserable. There had to be something better. I tried everything. I tried drugs, drinking, sex, anything that would make me feel better at that moment. It all led to more pain and more misery. None of this would compare to what I was going to face ahead.
I came home late one night and my boyfriend had pushed me down the stairs. I lost the baby. Honestly the baby was better off. I had it to my limit. I could not take anymore. I called my parents, and they took me in. They took me to church. I did not care nothing about church or nothing about God. I just wanted a place to stay and be safe. That night I went to their church. The preacher got up there and started preaching about this place called hell. He said that " it was full of pain and torment. You would burn for eternity." The only way out is to accept Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour. Sure enough that night I knew God was real. He spoke to my heart and I knew I was lost and I was going to hell. At that point I did not care where I went. I was already living hell on earth. In my mind I did not see how any of that salvation stuff would make me better. If God truly cared, He would have never let me live the life I have lived. That night the preacher kept talking more and more about Salvation and hell. I was under conviction heavily. I had no words, I could barely just walk. Still under conviction, I told God " Who cares? If there is a burning hell, then let me go there."
That night I drifted into a painful eternity. My parents came home. They had to go off to the store. I decided to stay at home. Before they left, they talked with me, and at that point I still did not care. I told them " I would be better off burning in hell instead of living hell on earth." About ten minutes after they left, I smoked a joint. That led into the house catching on fire. I tried to get out, but every way was blocked. I could not find a way out. My lungs became engulfed with smoke. I was literally choking. I could no longer breathe as I should. It felt like my lungs were going to burst inside my chest. My legs began to catch on fire. I could feel the burning of my body about to drift into eternity. I smelled my flesh burning. I was crying out to God, but it was too late. I was dying. It was so painful. To have your body be consumed by fiery flames was nothing compared to hell. As I tried to breathe, no breath would come out. I was drifting into this painful and agonizing hell. My final thought while burning to death, was only if I could go back. " Only If I Could Go Back"
~~~~~~~ Praise God, I never have to go back!!! Christ saved my wretched soul from hell!!! I feel sorry for all those people who reject Christ and his saving grace!!!!!!! There is a real hell. And all those who reject, will go there. But God's saving grace, made it to where we don't have to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I answered your question, but you never answered mine..............
Hope to hear from you!!!!!
Love in Christ, Sadie. Phil.4:13
Jesus Christ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They may be too much for you though. 
They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.
And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not.
