Myself, Knowledge, Tobago-man and Mr. JA had a conversation during bowling night concerning Jesus Christ.
It was argued that Jesus truely hates man kind by giving us free will and then persecuting us when we don't follow His commandments and His word.
JESUS LOVES US. FOR THIS REASON HE GIVES US FREE WILL. HE IS NOT A DICTATOR NOR IS HE A TYRANT. HE IS A JUST GOD WHO BELIEVES THAT ALL THOSE WHO SERVE HIM MUST CHOOSE TO SERVE HIM BY THEIR OWN WILL. HOWEVER, IT IS A FACT THAT THOSE WHO DO NOT ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST AS THEIR LORD AND SAVIOUR WILL BE JUDGED FOR THEIR SINS AND WILL NOT ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD. HELL WAS CREATED FOR SATAN AND HIS DEMONS ALONE. IT IS NOT GOD'S INTENT THAT ANY MAN OR WOMAN SHOULD EVER SUFFER TO GO TO SUCH A HORRIBLE PLACE. IT GRIEVES THE HEART OF CHRIST WHEN HIS VERY OWN CREATION TURNS AGAINST HIM AND CHOOSES NOT TO FOLLOW HIM. BUT GOD IS A JUST GOD, AND IT IS WRITTEN, THAT EXCEPT A MAN BE BORN AGAIN, HE CANNOT SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD.[John 3:3]
Jesus WANTS US to be close to Him and to know him and become HIS FRIEND. He LOVES US regardless of our past sins and wrong doings... but because he HATES SIN, he asks that when we accept His FREE GIFT of eternal life by simply believing in Him, that we also turn away from our sinful life. When we accept him as our Lord and saviour and ask for forgiveness of our sins, we are instantly forgiven. Our slate is wiped clean and therefore we should strive to keep it that way.
