christians, what exactly is it that you are trying to save us from?

Update:

so, you say we have to believe your god is perfect and we need to believe in and obey him or he will send us to a firey place where we will be tortured forever. because he says so. who are we being saved from again? the god you claim we have to follow? we have to worship a god so we don't be hurt by that god because he loves us? not much of a god, is it?

    Oh you know.

    Eternal damnation from God in hell... some nonexistent imaginary being sending us to a non existent place.

    Well first, no Christian can save anyone, God is the one who does that. Anywho, Ever since the Fall of Adam & Eve (be the story literal or figurative), humanity has been launched into a track straight to everlasting death, fire, and separation from God.

    Nothing impure can abide with God nor can God simply take away or ignore sin lest he bypass his own justice. God provided thus a temporary means of atonement, the Jewish Law, which no mere man is capable of fully accomplishing, but God so loved the world, he sent his only Son, that anyone who believes on him might not perish but have eternal life.

    God (the Son) became flesh and dwelt among us, experienced the human experience, except without sin, and yet he paid the penalty for sin, Death, and thus justice was satisfied. This guy of course was Jesus, he fulfilled the Law to the 100%, the sacrifice of his life was greater than a million times a million sacrificed lambs, bulls' heads, etc combined, and now he stands as our eternal high priest ready to testify before the Father those who have accepted the means of salvation from Sin and Death, that his shed blood has both justified and sanctified the believer.

    An Eternal life of absolute pain and suffering. God does Love you. The problem is you are doing the will of Satan and God never wanted us to follow Satan who is evil.

    What is so hard in accepting God and following Him?

    The reason you reject God is because the Pleasures of your sins mean more to you right now then spending Eternity with God. But i do know for a fact that after you die you will know that Jesus Christ is God and is real.

    But, because you have refused to accept God you cannot enter into Heaven but instead will be tossed into Hell where you will be punished for all Eternity.

    Hell is a dark hot place with no one around you. You will be all by yourself with nothing but your memories to remember how you rejected God and could have been in Heaven. Remembering what you did and could have done for all Eternity is pure Hell.

    I don't try to save you. I try to prevent false information being published without correction on a public board so that it won't hurt others. I hope all people turn to God, but if someone has chosen not to, there is nothing I can do. God gives you free will, so who am I to try to take that away.

    Read the 10 Commandments and tell me if you can follow them, they are somewhere in the book of Exodus, around the 20's I think. You will quickly conclude that everyone has broken them and no one can keep them all, we come to the realization that we are sinners, sinners in the presence of someone who is holy, which is God, Our sin seperates us from God, that is why we need a Savior, someone to make atonement and to save us from our sin. Read the bible the Word of God, and it will help you think clearly, and realize that all man is a sinner in need of a Savior, that's why death exists because sin is in the world.

    God wants to save you from what God will do to you if you don't worship God properly.

    Straw man- You have it exactly backwards!

    The gospel is offered to those who recognize they are already condemned. It is an offer of a pardon. The scripture indicates Christ explicitly saying "I all not the righteous but sinners to repentance". So the circumstances are not as you assert Believe or else. It is rather you doomed already, here is an opportunity to escape condemnation.

    No Christian can "save" anyone from anything. It is Jesus Christ who saves the people from their sins, so that through Him, we can be reconciled to God. That is why God sent Jesus here to earth - to save His people. Christians are only messengers - we pass along the information given by Christ and He does the salvation.

    The wrath of God.

  • I do not know any Christian who can "save" anyone..... all we can do is try to help someone on their way to God..... it is God who grants Salvation... and that is between God and the individual
