Yea, then what. Anecdotal evidence, is not evidence.

Have you ever thought that your involvement in her life and questioning her about her choices had an impact? I don't understand why you don't want to take credit for her turning her life around.


Because, idjit, it was not I who let her see the obvious. Nor can I convince you, or anyone else. Nor do I want to.
I am no evangelist....just relaying a life experience. Take it as you will.

Some reject the love of their family members.


Because some families treat love like a commodity. Ever hear of conditional love.

Created by psychopaths and sociopaths as a means to manipulate people.

Oh, so you agree that you are not only an incompetent parent but totally incompetent to figure out anything for yourself. Idjit.

Don't worry, I would never insult you and call you an evangelist...they are just salesman of a fantasy. On the other hand, I don't think you could put a coherent thought together to sell a perfectly good apple pie. LOL

Some people deny unconditional love.

Both are invisible.

There IS evidence that ChristIDS God. John1:1 says. "In the beginning was the Word. and the Word was with God, and the Word was God". If you're a believer in God and believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, then that The Word says it should be enough to believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ. How could Jesus be merely a humaNn if He raised the dead and did numerous miraculous deeds? If you don't accept the Bible as true, read,"Evidence aThat Demands a Verdict" by Josh McDowell.

But where is the evidence that the bible is the inspired word of some God I've not seen any such evidence. The evidence is that the bible is a collection of ancient stories written buy men

If you opened your eyes this morning, or listened carefully, or even went outside and felt around, you found absolute proof of God's existence.

Proof of God's existence is in every sunrise, sunset, ocean breeze, mountain stream, and desert basin. I've witnessed childbirth, children laughing and crying, and parents dying. God's presence was so intense that it was undeniable.

Leftists hate God because they want to be God, and be worshiped by us. Beg them for healthcare, food, clothing, and housing. They want the American people on their knees, palms up, waiting to be taken care of.

Knowing Christ is the Son of God only takes faith. Knowing of God's existence only takes honesty with one's self.

If a God created our world and God loves us why did he create a world in which every thing in it has to kill something else and eat it in order to survive. And why are 60 % of all species parasites-- attaching them selves to other organisms and sucking their juices out in order to survive. That seems to me to be a cruel god not a loving god. Did you ever watch a crocodile rip the guts out of a wildebeast tying to cross a river to better grass lands then wrestling it down until it drowns

The resurrection of Christ and the lives and deaths of 10 of His disciples tell it all. Men do not die for something they know is a lie. I encourage everyone to read and see on the big screen Lee Strobel's book and movie "The Case for Christ".






In the case for Christ the witness are all men of faith and there is no cross examination

Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

No evidence there is an intelligent creator? Look around yourself, the flowers, the grass, the trees, the blue sky, etc. Human life itself proves there is a GOD. Seriously, you don't reject GOD, you reject intelligence.






What you describe is nature and evolution The earth is 4.6 billion years old for more than 4 billion years there were no plants or animals on the land. Plants began migrating from the sea about 48 million years ago and flowering plants and grass did not appear until less than 100 million years ago

There is no evidence that the earth was reformed for the modern age six thousand years ago not a shred The sun rises and sets because the Earth has been orbiting the sun since the sun and its solar system was formed out of gas dust and debris from older suns that had lived out their lives swelled into red giants and exploded spewing their contents of heavy elements in to space. We have gravity to thank for our world but it is no fun worshiping gravity

G-d is not Jesus and Jesus is not G-d. Nevertheless, we know, in logic, that G-d may exist, or must have existed at one time in the past, because the universe is just too wonderful, too large and too mysterious to have been spontaneously created from nothing.






The universe is expanding and has been for about 13,7 billion years from a gas cloud comprised of 75 % hydrogen ad 25 % Helium

Most people have heard the gospel but did not believe it because they were in a setting surrounded with hypocrrites.
It is worse today because lying, and lack of morals has become common and excused by most people.

They reject Christ either because they don't think they need him or have not read or studied the bible enough to know him.

Basically it is no need for it and those who need it need preachers to interpret what the stories mean

Lesson 18: Why People Reject Christ (John 3:19-21)
Related Media

July 7, 2013

Picture a guy floating downstream on a raft on a hot summer day. He’s having the time of his life, enjoying the ride as the cool water gently splashes on him. You’re on the shore and you know that there’s a deadly waterfall not far downstream. This guy is floating blissfully and ignorantly toward certain destruction! So you yell to warn him. You throw him a rope. But he rejects it and keeps floating toward certain death. Why won’t he grab the life preserver? Because he loves what he’s doing and he doesn’t want to believe your warning.

Why do people reject God’s wonderful offer of salvation through Jesus Christ? You would think that everyone would eagerly grab the life preserver that God has thrown out through the gospel (John 3:16): “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.” Why would anyone reject such a wonderful offer? Why would anyone want to keep heading for eternal destruction? In our text, John shows us:

People reject Christ because they love their sin and they hate having it exposed by God’s light.

Thomas Jefferson wrote the Jefferson Bible which was titled: The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth.

The Jefferson bible was actually a compilation of three different bible's from which he cut out anything that suggested Jesus was divine and instead presented Jesus Christ as just a man and nothing more. Now the question is--did Jefferson reject Christ or did he present him in the form that he really was?

I think there is ample evidence to suggest that Christ lived, taught, and ministered but there is zero evidence to suggest that Jesus was a god and more to suggest that we made him into what we wanted all along.

The rejection isn't of Christ but of his divinity. If you ask why--it's because there is no evidence that there is a god...

It is curious. I died twice, drowned when I was seven and heat exhaustion when I was 18. There was something other both times. Maybe just a brain-thingy, as it is wont to do with death. Nothing supernatural. Denial, basically. Like a deer in the headlights of my mind. Shock!

But most people reject Christians, not Christ.
