How about you re-read my post? Who said anything about seeking death?

Why not? Heaven is assured. A villager wins a free visa to New York, but needs a taxi to get to the airport. Someone from his town offers him a free ride there. What is he still doing in the village? Admiring the unpaved streets, or the collection of wildlife?

CaptainJune:


Jesus Christ fulfilled the prophecies concerning Him as foretold by the prophets in the Old Testament.

Paul, on his way to Damascus, had a revelation of Jesus Christ that changed his life forever.

ok, Jesus fulfilled his prophecy while the fulfillment was revealled to Paul.
that means the prophecy about Jesus is the revelation now, they are the same thing, no difference

CaptainJune:


I agree with everything you've said. I hope my post did not give you the impression that walking in love makes you perfect. No one can be sinless on earth in this temporary tent (flesh). However, with love you strive for perfection everyday. That's all what God requires of us. Love is God's nature. If you love, you're living and expressing the nature of God.

exactly!
love is what is required, and we are striving to perfection.
But christians this days are not striving again. They think that sin is their nature

So you speak to God, or he speaks to you, and then you leave and break his rules?

Are you sure that you have spoken with the God? I can understand why children disobey their parents, the parents cannot be EVERYWHERE at once. But to claim to have a parent who is EVERYWHERE at once, and still go out practice disobedience is like bringing the ashewo into the sitting room of your parents house and smashing her right there in front of mumsy and her guests.

it depend on the parents.
some parents will accept anything, so long it is their children, while some parents will not tolerate at all.
i think God is one parent that tolerate all sort of things from his children

Will a parent watch his child jump off a bridge?

BTW, the bible God, since Muslims have theirs too, doesn't tolerate certain things. If the thing is not about loving God or loving your neighbor, he PROMISES to roast the soul of the deceased law breaker FOREVER.

What I was curious about is this, some people claim to talk to God and still go out and sin. They sin even though they KNOW that their parent is right there watching, and the fire is being prepared as punishment. It doesn't make sense to me. It is not a human behavior, humans are AFRAID of trouble naturally, especially big trouble. That's the reason why bank robbers, as bold as they are, wear masks on their faces. They don't want to get themselves in bigger trouble, other than trying to run away.

if we lie and our parents flog us for lying we becomes afraid and stop lying. we believe that as we were flogged it is God that is also purnishing us for lying.
But after purnishing us, he will not put us in hell fire again.
the same thing with armed robbers, they will be killed by hanging or firing squad. that is their punishment.
But if they were christians God will not put them in hell fire after they die
