Well, that's one way to look at it, but I would rather prefer to be born twice and die once than to die again and again and again, following a religious belief system that offers no guarantee of eternal life.

Hindus seek, but God finds.

I understand that sir, but unfortunately, truth isn't dictated by things we 'prefer.' (More's the pity).

Truth is dictated by the one who is Truth.

Although sometimes we prefer it our own way.

If you carry out a 'hard refresh' on your computer you return it to its original perfect state. How is that different from the indwelling God returning the believer to how man was in his original perfect state?


'And now what are you waiting for? Get up, be baptized and wash your sins away, calling on his name.’ (Acts 22:16)

Changing definitions? There’s a shock.

You don't recognize the parallel between 'refresh' and 'wash your sins away'?

How odd.

Don’t you get tired of twisting yourself into a pretzel to avoid admitting you’re wrong?

If the word hadn't come from an atheist I suspect you wouldn't have a problem with it.

Dont kid yourself, the guarantee of eternal life in the Bible comes with conditions
- faith
- righteousness
- until the end.
-Failure leads to death, destruction, being cut off, burned.
Let me know if you want the references to show your pastor.

Why do you hate church and people who go to church so much?

Don’t you believe people should assemble together to pray and to worship and sing praises to God?

I don't think love requires hate.
