Forgiveness comes from within

Trust me when i say that it took many years to learn to forgive once i was able to find forgiveness, other things became possible

i agree, i was commenting on the fact many thinks all a rapist or murderer needs to do is ask for forgiveness, you can ask all you want, but it is your intentions that truly count

Can't discuss to much of the bible because I did not read the whole thing but probably will one of these days.

No one knows 100% percent if they will get to heaven unless you follow everything Jesus taught. Judgment day is mention dozens of time in the bible. Read matthew 25 31-46

not too worried about judgement day just trying to make it through this life

I'm not trying to persuade anyone one way or another. I'm just stating my opinion. I didn't say anything about how people should view anything.

and yet you post on here that all people should view things your way

Eye-witness testimony is: I see something, I write it down or speak about it. No writings in the Bible were written by people who actually SAW anything.

It is NOT eye-witness testimony. What will it take for you to understand that?

YES it IS. The entire NT was written by Eyewitnesses. Moses wrote of the history of the world before he lived, but most were eyewitness accounts.

i am very confused by this:

the gospel of john is attributed to john the disciple which would make him an eyewitness. the gospel of matthew is the disciple matthew, which would make him an eyewitness. the gospel of luke is writing down peter the disciples telling which would make that an eyewitness account. all the letters of paul are first person which would make them eyewitness.


if you want to say you don't believe anything in the bible that's fine. you are fully allowed to do so. but you can't say no writings in the bible are written by people who actually saw anything.

I find it hard to belive that all the rapists, killers, child molesters have to do is say prayer and they are forgiven. I was once brainwashed into believing this garbage. Then I grew up and started thinking for myself. The only reason religion exists is that everyone is afraid of death. We can't bring ourselves to believe that life has an end. Guess what, the clock can and will stop ticking at some point. Use your time here on earth in a good way and let the cards fall where they may when you die. How can there be so many people; Jews, Islam, Christians (all 52 million denominations) that believe in the same God, but in different ways. NO ONE is right. Believe what you want but don't think that all of a sudden the rest of the world should see things the same way as you. I have no problems w/ religion. I can't stand people that try to convince the world that their way is right and all others are wrong.

You have to understand that salvation isn't based upon what WE have done, it's based upon what Christ Jesus did for us on the cross. It's not the prayer that saves you, it's placing your faith in Jesus Christ believing that He died on the cross and rose from the dead for your sins. What you are doing is accepting what He already did for you to pay for your sins. Those who don't accept it will have to pay for them themselves by going to hell.

your faith, not a prayer and a dollar bill, or a splashing of holy water, you, just you.
