    All of us need to accept the fact that where we spend eternity is our decision and responsibility. If we wind up in hell after we're gone, we cannot blame it on God!

  • Reply to blog post: How Can the Bible Be Accurate? by greatmartin
    Comment written 2 years ago
    The Bible's accuracy can be vaildated by the many Old Testament prophecies which came to pass during New Testament times, mostly ones about Jesus Christ. A good book to read about this is "More Than A Carpenter" by Josh McDowell. The book has a section which states that for Jesus to have fulfilled just 8 of those prophecies, the chance of him doing that would be in 1 in 100,000,000,000,000,000 (that's 17 zeros!). Jesus was able to fulfill more than just 8 of those prophecies. Considering all the prophecies that Jesus fulfilled, statisticians say it would be statistically impossible for those events to have happened by chance. That tells me there's some intelligence behind the Bible, because all those events didn't just come about by accident. Somebody (God) had to know about them ahead of time.
    I wrote a page on our site about the book, and another page detailing just a few of the Old Testament prophecies Jesus fulfilled in his lifetime. Here's the link below if you want to check them out.

    It's just people sharing their particular beliefs, that's all. I've had people share their religion with me, also. I've had Jehovah Witnesses, Mormons, you name it come to my door. They have a right to share it, even if I don't believe it. And yes, I used to get real mad sometimes when people would share the gospel with me. Growing up, I did have a friend of the family, who was a pastor. Every time I saw him at a family wedding, funeral, etc, he was always sharing the gospel with me, and yeah, I got really angry with him sometimes. He told me I was going to hell if I didn't accept Christ. It took me a while to realize why I was getting so angry about it...because I really needed to hear it, and thank God I finally decided to listen. We may not want to hear that there's a hell, and God is just and punishes sin, but that's who He is. God is loving and merciful, though, too. When it all comes down to it, we have to decide... do we want mercy or judgment?
    Email me sometime if you ever want to chat. It's sort of hard to keep track with all these replies going on, lol. Email address is on our website, www.passtheword.net. God cares about you, and I do, too.

    Thanks for the reply.

    Yes...it is still sharing. I don't advocate "shoving" anything down anyone's throat. You have to understand the medium in which the gospel is shared with you. If I was speaking to you in person (or maybe even via chat which I've done with some) and you were to respond negatively, become angry with me for sharing the gospel with you, I would not continue because it would then become "shoving it down your throat". First of all, the gospel is to be shared out of love, and if I'm trying to share that with you, and you've communicated to me somehow that you aren't interested, then I'm no longer doing it out of love. Secondly, the Bible says that a person can't be saved unless the Father draws him (or speaking to him/her at the time) the gospel is being shared, so it would be useless for me to continue sharing with you if you've expressed that you are not interested. I could sit and talk to you for hours on end about the gospel and it wouldn't accomplish anything if the Lord was not speaking to you at the time (the Lord does the convincing, not me).

    I was saved about 7 years ago, so it hasn't been too long since I've been "on the other side of the fence", so to speak, so I try to be respectful of others if I'm sharing it in person/via chat and they don't want to hear it.

    Since I'm sharing the gospel to you via the internet, and this is a blog, obviously you're going to be reading this after I post, so I'm not there forcing it down your throat because you have the choice to leave the page at your discretion.

    Take care. God loves you. [SMILE]

    Fear of God in what manner? I don't fear God in the sense I'm afraid of Him, but I do "fear" him in the Biblical context...respect, have reference. The Bible says the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.

    I don't leave pamphlets in bathroom stalls, though. I figure most people wouldn't bother reading it. When I want to share the gospel as the Lord leads, I like to do it online because I know people will be more inclined to read it. See...it worked. :)

    Take care and God bless.

    I think all Christians have a certain sin or weakness they have to deal with. Of course, it makes you wonder, too, if they have such a problem with dealing with it whether they're truly saved or not. If they are, though, I do believe that God forgives any sin if a person is truly repentant and asks for forgiveness because the scripture says that God cleanses us from ALL unrighteouness. :)
