I was just curious if you profess to be a Christian or not. You certainly aren't accountable to me and if you are uncomfortable sharing that with me, I understand. But most Christians I know are very proud to say that they are a child of the King.
My experience with most atheists is that they talk smack, they don't know much about the Bible and they lie and mis-represent constantly.
So let's get you straightened out on a couple of things:
- I never said "I was worthy" of anything. In fact, what I did say is:
I certainly NEVER pretended to be "good enough" to get to heaven
and
I'm a sinner and that I deserve to go to hell
- Nor did I say "we dictate our own entry into heaven". I did say:
Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
I do know that I have confessed with my mouth that Jesus is the Son of God and my savior and I do believe that God raised Jesus from the grave - so according to God's Word, I am saved. I stand on His Word. What I think has nothing to do with it.
- and no where in this post did I say that we or I get to judge our eternal destiny. The Lord Jesus and He alone will be the Judge of all mankind.
Finally, I don't waste a lot of my time sparring & jawing with atheists so I will end our discourse the way I always do, by saying, I hope that God will bless you.
