I am only going to mention a few points because I am on my way to work. Sorry

You mentioned devout. Being devout doesn't automatically elevate a cause or a person to a lofty position. The object of the devotion is what matters. The object of my faith is the resurrected Christ.

Also- ' I first have to believe in satan'.
I do believe in satan because the Bible tells his entire history.
I hope you have a Bible so you can look some things up.

John 8:44 you are of your father the devil and you want to do the desires of your father. He is a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth and the truth is not in him. Whenever he speaks a lie he speaks from his own nature for he is a liar and the father of lies.

Also you questioned why God would send someone to hell for a lesson He knows we will not learn.

Matthew 7:13 enter by the narrow gate for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction and many are those who enter by it.

God lovingly allows us to think for ourselves. That's why the way to destruction is broad. Because everyone thinks for themselves and thinks there way is best. Our hearts and selfish and wicked so we kill our souls. why would God 'send us to hell?' We willing go to hell ourselves by walking away from Christ salvation. Free thought

Mark 3:29 whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness but is guilty of an eternal sin....

Heb. 5:9 and having been made perfect He became to all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation.

Romans 1:19 because that which is known about God is evident within them. For God made it evident to them ......1:22 professing to be wise-they became fools....:25 for they exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator who is blessed forever. Amen.

Romans 6:23 for the wages of sin is death but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Another good site to reference is: www.equip.org

You sound so smart and clearly you are and yet in none of our correspondence have you quoted anything or stated anything you absolutely trust in. Just lots of thoughts. You are 24 which is a good age to explore but be careful you explore something ---someONE who leads you to Truth and eternal life.

I also saw that you list atheism as one of your religions. That seems as close minded as it gets.

Read Romans in the Bible and see if you have your mind changed.

All other religions mimic Christ because that is satan's favorite trick. Fool people into believing something OTHER THAN CHRIST RESURRECTED. Nothing big just a little bit of the 'truth' here and a little lie there. Next thing you know----you've got someone douBting whether God is real or not when in your heart you will know that you are marching down the wrong path.
I do wish we were face to face. It would be easier I think to show you Scripture and have a less inhibiting convo.

Do check out the site Barbara suggested. Ray Comfort is very logical- as it appears you are as well. The two of you will get along.

At the end of the day I will say that I do NOT have all the answers and I'm not the brightest bulb around or even in this conversation perhaps but I know one thing for absolute certain. I am saved from an eternity apart from God because I have accepted Gods plan for making us clean before His holiness-- His Sons death on the cross--paying the cost for our choices.

Yes God does allow us to think for ourselves.

However- our 'open-mindedness' causes a great divide between us and God. when God could have wiped us out because of our sin- He lovingly provided the payment for us.

So when I stand before Him HE will see His Sons righteousness and He will welcome me into my heavenly home.

Will the Mayan faith or Buddha or ....whatever offer that?

I would like to start a thread on twitter.

#apologeticsNfaith

Intended for anyone and everyone who would like to explore faith-science-logical belief if God and the resurrected Christ.

I'm just learning how to host a thread but I DO know that it is a good idea to have a blog to host and archive on so.......

This is my personal blog so this is as good as any.

Be patient and help me learn.

The Power of Forgiveness

"Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you." - Ephesians 4:31-32

There isn't one person reading this who hasn't been hurt by another person. Question: what are you doing with that offense? Do you hold them hostage for the injury they inflicted on you? How many hours and days have you wasted thinking,

"You owe me and I'm going to make you pay?"That's a tough question on a painful topic but you have to get it settled. In order to navigate your way through relationships, you need to hold a conviction about how you're going to respond when someone hurts you.

Ephesians 4:31-32 gives us direction:

"Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you."Read that last phrase again,
"as God in Christ forgave you."As freely as He forgave you.

As quickly as He forgave you.

As generously as He forgave you.

Jesus models what forgiveness should look like in our lives. He was falsely accused, mocked, beaten, and spat upon, then crucified. As He hung on that cross for your sins and mine, He said: "

Father, forgive them." Jesus' model motivates us to live out Ephesians 4:32,

"Just as God in Christ has forgiven you."You've heard me say it before: there are no enduring relationships without forgiveness. None. Before you go very far in any partnership, there will be forks in the road where if you do not forgive, the relationship will not survive. It's true in every marriage, in every household, in every small group, in every friendship. This is always, always true.

Because of Christ, you owe me nothing."

I love this true account from the life of Leonardo DaVinci. Not only was he a great painter, but DaVinci had a great faith in God. On the day he was to begin to paint the masterpiece, "The Last Supper," he had a blow-out argument with one of his friends.

As he was painting the disciples seated around the table, DaVinci was still sour toward his friend. So when it came time to paint Judas - you guessed it - he painted his friend's face. Then he moved on to paint Jesus. Of course Leonardo loved Christ but try as he might, he couldn't paint His likeness in any way that he thought represented His beauty. He painted, erased, painted, erased. Convicted by his own unforgiveness, he repainted the face of Judas with some other, random likeness and went to get right with his friend. Only then could he return to finish his portrait of Christ.

It's been said that DaVinci's face of Christ in this work is one of the most beautiful ones ever painted. What a great picture of the mercy in forgiveness. It will bear itself out in your life and mine. We will not see the likeness of Christ reproduced in our lives until we forgive.

Has the Lord brought a relationship to mind that needs your long-overdue forgiveness? By faith say, "Because of Christ, you owe me nothing." Take to heart God's call on your life:

"Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you."

I love this picture
