If you were on trial for being a Christian, is there enough evidence to convict?

I'd be condemned to hell for sure.

Plenty of evidence! \n\nHere's a good place to "start" :

Of course.  Christians even commit murder and think if they repent they can go to heaven.

When a person wants to give their opinion of any book, they have to read it first. Have you read the Bible? People say it contradicts itself; have they read it through in context? Have you read all of those other 'Holy Books' that you mentioned? In any court case, the evidence has to be analyzed and proof given to support each \n'allegation'. You need to read and study the Bible for yourself. Ask any one of Jehovah's Witnesses that you come in contact with to show you from your own Bible that it is God's word. Like expert witnesses in a court case, we have studied the Bible, researched history and have made our lives over to preach to the 'entire inhabited earth' as Jesus commanded, about God's Kingdom that is to return the earth to the Paradise that Adam an Eve lost.

i'm thinking no. christianity is founded on the belief that jesus died for our sins, and he was god's one and only son.

Boy, would I feel foolish for living a good Christian life.\n\nSeriously, I would feel good knowing that people like you would make it to heaven.\n\n(no offense intended, I seem to remember that you are not a believer in God, and that was my intent - that non-believers like yourself would make it to heaven)

No, I would not, Jesus said those without sin cast the first stone, so therefore I wouldn't.\nStoning was very popular 2,000 years ago as well as strangulaton and many others.\nWhen Rome came into rule Their justice was more severe they made you suffer for your crime(s)

You don't need historical evidence to belieive in God. Its a matter of your level of faith, you either believe in him or you don't. Sure, there may not be a lot of proof, but I know he is there, I know he exists, without him where do you think you came from?

I believe you can, and this is one scripture that points to it.  \n\nSome will say that Ananias and Sephira weren't "really saved" if they fell away, but I find that theology terrifying.  If the only way you know if you are saved or not is by sinning and being struck dead, that makes assurance hard to come by, doesn't it?\n\nFor if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries. Anyone who has rejected Moses’ law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace? For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. And again, “The LORD will judge His people.” It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.\nHebrews 10:26-31

I applaud you, this is a good question for philosophical thought. \n\nThe thing is, you cannot be responsible for destroying someone else's beliefs. If someone judgedthe choice to give up on their beliefs, then it is them alone who must suffer for their choice. You cannot decide whether or not someone murders you, but you can decide whether or not to continue in your beliefs.\n\nIn the case of your question; the perpetrator committing the murder would be judged accordingly by God. However, for the person trying to convert, he would be jedged based on whether or not he intentionally lied to the person he converted. Even if the converter's viewpoint is wrong, he will be judged worse if he intentionally lied to send someone to hell than if he, indeed, truly believed he was right.

As a Christian, I would advise you to not find a faith that workds for you, but find the faith that contains the fullness of truth, and strive toward that truth.\n\nGod bless,\nShane

Dear Deebster, I would like to tell you my testimony.\n\n\nI was your average, person, a very “nice guy.”  I loved my mom and dad, had a decent home, played little league, and even went to church.  Whenever I thought about life after death I had no fears at all.  After all, I believed in God and Jesus… and I thought I was a pretty good person.  I felt that if anyone could end up in Heaven, I probably would. Then came the shock of a lifetime!  Let me explain by asking you a couple of questions…\nHave you ever lied (even once--fibs, white lies, etc.)? Ever stolen (anything--the value is irrelevant)? Jesus said, "Whoever looks upon a woman to lust after her, has committed adultery already with her in his heart." Have you ever looked with lust? If you have said "Yes" to these three questions, by your own admission, you are a lying, thieving, adulterer at heart; and we’ve only looked at three of the Ten Commandments. \nWhat a shock!  God didn’t see me as the “nice guy” I imagined myself to be… and he doesn’t see you that way either. Nothing you’ve ever done is hid from His holy eyes. Will you be innocent or guilty on the Day of Judgment? Listen to your conscience. You know that you will be guilty, and therefore end up in Hell. That’s not God’s will. He provided a way for you and I to be forgiven. \nHe sent His Son to take our punishment: "God commended His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." He was bruised for our iniquities. Jesus then rose from the dead and defeated death. \nYour own so-called “goodness” can’t get you into heaven any more than mine could.  Jesus is the only way to Heaven. He is the "Door," the only "mediator." There is salvation in no other name, so pray something like this: "Dear God, I repent of all of my sins (confess them). This day I put my trust in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. Please forgive me and grant me your gift of everlasting life. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen."

You are a victim of injustice. But, you are in good company. Christ was killed on false charges of sedition.

Probably more than anything, those who claim to be 'TRUE CHRISTIANS' couldn't be farther from the truth of the Christ which they claim to follow.  Look at the Christians in America today, they hate anyone who is different from them, ie gay people, minorities, etc.  They will claim to be doing God's work when they kill someone who committed abortion, or anything of that sort.  They are in short, the farthest thing from what they say 'Christ' taught them.  Christ according to the bible would have been a liberal, liberals care about people, they have mercy, they look out for each other.  Conservatives (what most so called Christians are) care only about big business, money and JUSTICE!\n\nThey fight against you because they need a battle to fight, they need to feel like they are doing God's work by bringing you down.  Oh how little they know!

Dear Sen831,\n\nYou request personal experience or evidence... \n\nI used to be an atheist. Over a period of time however, I grew convinced of the existence of the Christian God, and ultimately committed my life to Christ. \n\nFor a draft-version of my journey from atheism to Christ, see http://www.godsci.org/gs/chri/testimony/seek.html\n\nCan we believe the Bible? See http://www.godsci.org/gs/chri/bible.htm\n\nFor scientific and intellectual evidence for the existence of God, see http://www.godsci.org/gs/godsci/evidence.htm\n\nFor evidence for the historicity and truth of Jesus Christ, see http://www.godsci.org/gs/chri/jesus.htm\n\nCordially,\nJohn
