First of all, I'm merely sharing with you what the bible says. Secondly, if it isn't true, why does it bother you so much? You should think about that. Thirdly, I am telling you this because I care and I have never pointed my finger in your face and yelled "You're going to hell!!" I have merely mentioned in the first post what the bible says will happen to you as a warning. You have the right to choose to believe it or not, but if you don't, then you will have to suffer the consequences. That's all I'm saying.
No maam. The bible says that if you will place your faith in Jesus Christ for salvation and give your life to Him, you will be saved and be at peace with God. It doesn't promise that you will be rich in this life, but that God will take care of your needs. God adopts those who place their faith in Him and they become royalty in heaven. Since God is the King and you are His child, you are royalty. Plus, you have the peace with God that when you die,you will be saved.
No one is gonna be on their death bed saying, "I wish I had made more money" You can't take anything with you when you die. It's WISE to accept Christ.

Bible = literature.
Prove to me that God exists without using the Bible as a reference.
Also it's fairly evident that you're citing primarily from the New Testament (talking about Jesus) and I'm pulling more from the Old Testament. I realize that. But from my understanding of it, Jesus preached a message of being nice to people, basically. PS: I never mentioned money anywhere.
Jesus also saw all people as equals, so choosing one person (Jesus) as someone to worship and see as a higher caste of person kind of goes against that thinking, don't you agree?
Religion, God, etc. made sense before science had been developed to its current state. Now that we can PROVE how things happened or at least give a LOT of evidence for how things may have happened, Christianity and religion are made obsolete.

But Ouch!, hell is a bad place. It's where you constantly have to go "ouch!"
Technically, he's telling us that we're going to hell only we if don't believe him, which makes me wonder, who died and made him the king of morality?
... ohh, wait a minute.
Not really sure why this stayed open for so long.
