Ok, I have to speak here even though I said I would no longer do that in this forum.
I didn't come in here to cram anything down anyone's throat. I came here to talk about Jesus and what He has done for us and the n I was told to go spread my nonsense elsewhere or to continue taking my meds or come up with other proof besides the Bible.
After that all happened, I may have gotten a bit harsher in my messages but it is something that I am passionate about. It is still my job as Christian to spread the Good News about Jesus and spread the Word of God.
I am a "he" and I had no intention of coming in here to throw my weight around as it was so eloquently put. Also, when I said in an earlier post that I would wait for God to come and convict your hearts, someone mistook that for a hatred thing or something or a wishing of bad ill.
That is farther from the truth. It means that I am to open the door by spreading the message and then God will come into your hearts and convict you with the Holy Spirit so you too can become followers of Christ and will want to reign in Heaven with Him.
However, that is why God gave us the ability of freewill. This way it will be easy to discern who will get into Heaven and who will be left on the outside looking in.
I pray that no one will be left on the outside looking in and I do mean this with all of my heart.
I do apologize if I was seemingly too harsh and as I said I didn't mean to be. I didn't mean to put anyone off and I do pray for God to give me the words to write in here to be a more effective witness but I guess when I saw myself being attacked and ridiculed, I went ahead of God and didn't put Him first.
I have apologized to Him and prayed for forgiveness and I know I have been forgiven because I have a peace in my heart about it now, where I didn't before.
I will still pray for all of you and I pray we all meet in Heaven
God Bless You All. Great post. Your apology makes you much better than many others.

No one on here is shoving their beliefs down anyone's throats. That is impossible to do on a computer. Everyone is free to ignore ANY post that is made. If you read it, it is your choice. If you respond, it is your choice. Saying that someone is " shoving their beliefs" down someone's throat is not an attempt to protect themselves, it is an attempt to silence the other person through guilt or shame. But then what is your objective? if you want others to ignore your posts?

I'm sorry, but the tenacity with which you (generic) insist on continuously warning people that hell beckons if Jesus is not embraced - to the exclusion of everything else, because everything else is false, is seen by many as 'shoving it down throats'. Even Jenna (Biblebasics editor) mentioned that your insistence has had the opposite effect to that desired. I mentioned Thomas Merton in a thread yesterday, and although it was quite evident to all that this is a deeply christian monk who has seen fit to embrace other cultures, (which is why I posted it...)not one Christian to whom this post was addressed, has come back with a comment. Odd that.....

so Thomas Merton is in hell, then, is he?
Well I'm with him then. I'd rather be in his hell than your heaven, if this is the way you think things are going.
I'll send you a postcard.
Really!!

Alexandra,
I warn of hell because Jesus did. Read John 3:18 For that you need to be Jesus.

Jesus said to preach the Word to every creature. Does that include the Duck billed platypus and my Dalmatian?

No, Jesus said to preach the Word to every creature. That includes hell. He gave us that authority. Did you ask you to preaches with love or with curses?

Wow, your really not doing a very good job representing Christ are you? I have spent years here building up a reputation for being a REAL Christian. People feel comfortable with me. They know where I stand and they understand that I see them, really see them through the eyes of love. They know that I am a Christian but that just as Jesus would have done, I love them first.
