Somebody needs to share Jesus Christ with him. He should be a one-man mission field. Imagine if a guy like this became a true believer and became an abject witness of the Word.
Judging from the downvotes on this post, it seems some people object to the true presentation of the Gospel.
Christians aren't even remotely aware of the true gospel. Your tripe gets downvoted because we're finally starting to see, like how this movement started with realizing the Old Guard, that many of your doctrines and practices aren't representative of the Biblical God or the testimony of the Scriptures. That's a real problem for all of you because the Lord doesn't leave His children ignorant of such things.
Basically, even those is the world can spot a phony. How much more among those who are waking?
There are Christians, and those who call themselves Christians. The latter does more harm to the message of the Gospel than those openly hostile to Christianity.
Most times I've heard people judge Christians/Christianity, I find that our views of Christians and Christianity (the one I'm arguing with and myself = we, that is) are very different. So when people say, Christians this, Christianity that, I don't let it bother me, because we do have an unfortunate quantity of stains upon the "christian church".
Story somewhat related, my church burned down over 20 years ago, with the congregation present. No one was hurt, but the fire department couldn't save the building. When interviewed, the main message put out my congregants (there was no coordination either), was that the church didn't burn down, a beautiful building did. The church was a parking lot over, the people who saved Bibles, hymnals, and anything they could grab on their way out the door. People view the church building as the church. People view the people inside as Christians. This is only partially true, on both accounts. There are Christians inside churches, but not every person, not every member, is a true believer. The building may be designated as a "church" but only acts as a church when believers join together to worship God there. Which is why "church" services can be literally anywhere, there is no mandatory stature on building type or even building at all.
But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice, Philippians 1:18 NIV

Amazing how God's ways are not our ways.
Isaiah 55:8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.”
1 Corinthians 1:27 “But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;”
He used a shoe salesman to share the gospel with a young Billy Graham on his way home from school one day.
Romans 2:11 “For there is no respect of persons with God.”
Have a blessed day, May you not live one more minute, without the knowledge of who you are in the body of Christ.

Sorry for the youtube link. It was around the end of the video when they are asking him 10 questions. I think it was the last question.
He's likely heard the story of Jesus and like many of us, doesn't believe it's gospel. To assume someone hasn't heard just because they don't subscribe to your religious ideas is a bit, uhhh, convenient?
Yeah, it doesn't make sense at all. Dude creates His own world, sin corrupts it, and because this Dude is completely Pure, Holy and Righteous, and cannot tolerate or accept sin, the blood of a sinless animal is required to remit it. Since this Dude also loved His creation SO MUCH, He sent Himself to die for all of us. To save us from sin which He hates SO MUCH. Makes no sense.
That's why I don't worry about termites eating the foundation of my house or disease eating me from within, cause I'm smarter than that.

I’m assuming your whole comment is sarcasm.
What does make sense, with regards to creation? What theory do you ascribe to?
That Jesus Christ lived a sinless, perfect life and died to make the payment for all the sins of the world. I accept this Payment on my behalf, because I am a sinner and in need of repentance.
oh-- you are being sarcastic! :)
If God created everything...then he created sin....nothing could exist without God in god's creation.
God gave us a choice. we didn't handle it well.
I've understood it differently, sin is the absence of God. Just like dark is the absence of light and cold is the absence of heat. They are not there because they are something, they are there due to the lack of it, but it's just how I've understood it. I could be wrong lol
LOL, that's some suicide mission.
I wonder if he slipped the Roman soldier some coin to spear him in the side?
Pretty good chance the Roman soldier probably molested or sacrificed a child before that, considering how perfect this world is you humans have brought in for us.

But do keep trying, all on your own.
It all depends on how it's presented to them. If they only hear about it through TV or other media types, they may not have the true gospel. I have a neighbor who had heard of Jesus, but not the gospel. Even at the age of 50+, they were surprised by all the things I shared with them about the Gospel that they have never of before. Not everyone who rejects Christianity really knows the full story of what they are rejecting.
It seems that some people here object to the true presentation of the Gospel.
Do you know the full story? Do you know the gospels were written five hundred years later.aftercthexsupposed death .authors unknown?
Did you know yahweh was just a minor commander of the elhomin who invaded earth 5000 years ago. So if Jesus is Yahweh son Jesus was an alien and part human. Can't see thecews handing the vicious Yahweh son to be tortured and killed can you?
There was over 200 of them...Elton being the head ....the arch a gels were the messengers and there to keep the people in line and. See they brew the wine and beer..obeyed yahweh 630 commandments. Some about how he liked the abdomen fat of women babies...girls aged three were raped....
Check out psalms were he tells the Israelites hat he will kill all their enemies.

You want to really understand the Bible check out Mauro biglino official channel youtube English subtitles for what it really says. He transcribes the Bible understand old hebrew Greek and latin
Not true. 3 of the 4 gospels were written by apostles who walked with Jesus for nearly all of his 3 year ministry including the crucifixion and resurrection. Luke was written by an educated man who did an incredible amount of research, interviewing witnesses to the ministry of Christ. Mark published the first gospel less than 20 years after the resurrection, before AD 50. Luke & Matthew published theirs less than 10 years later. John lived the longest and published his around AD 90, about the same time he published Revelation. Scholars have numerous fragments of the early gospels dating to the first century AD, more than any other ancient text.
It’s misinformation like this that causes others to hear about Jesus, but not the Christ.
Just because somebody’s heard it, doesn’t mean that they listened.
MANY people haven't heard and even many who think they have really haven't because they've got the whole thing botched up.

Maybe this will help you in your journey.
Thank you, but real or not, I have fundamental conflicts with the deity outlined in the bible and therefore isn't worthy of my endorsement.
I hope for your soul you embrace the Bible. If not now, then tomorrow.
What are your "conflicts," if I may ask, and if you'd like to reply. I'm genuinely curious.
