[QUOTE="upsgrunt, post: 633154, member: 9295"] MFE I can see your point about having someone cram their religion down your throat. I believe they should go about sharing the good news of God's love, grace, and mercy in a more tactful, less intrusive manner. You must also realize that what they are trying to share with you is so wonderful that they want at least a chance for everyone to experience it. You want concrete evidence; God wants you to have faith. Faith that what he says and promises is true and the reward for that faith and belief is eternal life in heaven so perfect and wonderful that it cannot be fathomed. The time you have on earth is really very short, even if you live a long, long life. It's the time after death where you will spend eternity, and that will be in paradise or hell. The choice is up to you. I know I will not take that risk. Besides God has been there for me in good times and bad. I can go to him with anything and also celebrate with him when his blessings come my way. Being a Christian does not mean that you will not make mistakes or sin. It's confessing them and repenting for them that lets God forgive. He sacrificed his only son on a cross to pay for all our sins, past, present, and future, so that we may live eternally with him in heaven. THAT is love that no man can comprehend. One more thing: When someone says God Bless, they are offering a gift. A gift is not a gift unless it is accepted. By not accepting that gift, you are denying the giver the joy of giving it. Ever think that God is showing his love for you by shining through the person who offers the blessing? I'm not trying to force my beliefs on you; just trying to show the wonderful gift that God has offered to all. If you are a reader, may I suggest "90 minutes in Heaven" about a man who was clinically dead for an hour and a half and describes a journey to Heaven and back. Back to life on earth because God had unfinished plans for him to fulfill. Please do not be offended when I close with God Bless! signed Sinner, but child of God Steve [/QUOTE]
