    Do you have to post in such oversized script?

    The only true religion is the Christian religion. Jesus Christ payed the penalty for mankind's sin on the cross. If you reject Jesus Christ then you have to pay the penalty for your sins. Jesus paid your sin debt but if you are rejecting His payment He made for you then you have to pay it yourself and so you will be punished because no sinners can enter God's Kingdom of Heaven.

    Over one-third of the world's population are practicing Christians. He obviously gave them ample reason to believe and choose Christianity over those other religions. And so if they acquired reason to believe and chose Christianity so can you.

    And how is it just for a genocidal child rapist to go to heaven if they accept Christ on their death bed and a Buddhist or Atheist who doesn't believe in god but has lived in virtue their entire lives to go to hell and be tortured for eternity for thought crimes?

    Christians unlike Muslims and Jews believe that everyone is sinful... and we still have some Christian denominations that believe in original sin doctrine.

    God doesn't ignore the cries of the starving. I know there are many non-profit Christian organizations committed to feeding GodÂ’s children hungry in body and spirit. Feed My Starving Children is one such Christian organization. I myself give monthly charitable donations to Compassion International which is another Christian organization.

    Since it appears you might care, have you given any charitable donations to help the cries of the starving in third world countries?

    Sorry.. in my mind it did.

    Consider the little story of Jonah... God loved the people of Nineveh.. as much as he loved the Hebrews.

    So IMO a good person would find favor with God and be saved.

    Mitt Ryan would disagree with you and my question was directed at him.

    Why is God unable to directly intervene to save their lives?

    Why cannot God make manna fall from Heaven and save their lives?

    If it happened, where is the evidence?

    Do you always believe anything you are told without corroborating evidence?

    Rational people don't believe things happened just because 6,000 year old books of mythology say so. Rational people require empirical evidence.

    Do you also believe that Pi equals 3, rabbits chew the cud, bats are birds, and pigeon's blood is the cure for leprosy?

    His justice is righteous for He is just and fair. We must remember that God sees things from an eternal perspective, and His ways are not our ways (Isaiah 55:8-9).

    No different than a brutal mafia don saying "I'm righteous, just, and fair. Now do as I say or I will torture you horrifically."

    Who are you? Certainly you are not God! And yes, according to Scripture if this lifelong pedophile finally repented his past sins was very sincere about it, asked for forgiveness, accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord Savior, then he will be forgiven and saved.

    Whereas if this buddhist monk, say for argument sake, never heard of Jesus Christ, never was made aware of Him, then according to the Scriptures, it is in one of the passages in the book of Romans, God will judge t him fairly and this monk could be possibly saved, however if this monk had heard of Jesus Christ, was made aware of Him, but continued to reject Jesus Christ as his Lord Savior, then according to Scripture he will be punished for his sins.

    Remember now we all are sinners, this buddhist monk included, because no one lives their entire lives without committing a single sin.

    So according to your God, having the wrong beliefs is worthy of torture but pedophilia is worthy of heaven?

    Considering the nature of the Bible, the times, the various authors and rewrites.. I wouldn't try to second guess God.

    No, you are still not getting it! Having not accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord Savior will get you punished for the sins you have committed in your life. The ped in the example I gave above accepted Jesus as his savior. If this ped didn't accept Jesus then he would be punished for his sins.

    Are you getting it now?...sheesh! I'm explaining it in simple everyday english...lol

    All you are saying is that thoughtcrime is worthy of eternal torture, but so long as you think the right things, you have a get out of torture free card.

    In what world is that just or moral?

    You need to take a class in reading comprehension...lol

    Did you ever sin before? for example, did you ever lie before? Did you ever commit adultery? Did you ever steal before?

    Are you finally getting the picture? If not, like I said you need to take a class in reading comprehension...lol

    What I'm saying is that you are a sinner like everyone else and so if you don't ask for forgiveness, if you don't accept Jesus Christ as your Lord Savior, you will be punished for the sins you have committed in your life...comprende?
