*****Where in the Bible does it say that? Jesus died on the cross as sin and to take that sin from us, if we believe that he is our savior. He provided that example but man was cursed becasue of his sin. Jesus lived a sinless life, was sacrificed so we might live if we believe he was the son of God. Jesus didn't fight back. He spread the gospel and said to turn the other cheek and to not fight as God says, "vengence is mine", He calls us to peace.
He didn't come to this Earth to be a ruler, where are you getting this new Age lie from? He will become the ruler of the world after his second coming and Satan is thrown in the bottomless pit for 1,000 years and then finally after being released to roam again for a short while and then finally in the lake of fire for eternity. Satan will be a world ruler for 7 years in the form of the Anti-christ.
******All this is double talk and deceptive. You are leading these people to confusion and essentially lies that will keep them from accepting Jesus as their personal savior. You better change your ways and rethink which master you are really serving.
******Isaiah 64:6 and Ephesians 2, 8, 9. Good works will not get you into Heaven. You are mixing verses as you see fit to exercise double talk and confusion. My guess is that you are a New Ager or Mormon in disguise.
*****WRONG. It is up to God how you move to the dimension of Heaven or Hell. Accept Jesus as Savior or don't and the choice is up to you, but where you end up is up to God depending on your choice.
" You want to get into a heavenly and peaceful society, you can start by acting like a member of such a society. You want to act with judgment towards others, death, destruction and that is the path you are following."
****Now you are saying to submit.......you are double talking again.
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light , not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of god. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We were born to make and manifest the glory of god that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
****New age BS..............
The truth...Oprah is the New Age Satanic thinking.........she is wrong. Loving, kindness and being generous does not get you to Heaven. It is a lie to think that there are different ways.

There are many things wrong with the churches of today. But, why are you speaking against the churches? By doing so you are doing exactly the things you say we should not do. You should be going to these churches, as I have been doing for years, then watching those churches closely. Then revealing to them what they are not doing right.
Most churches will usually turn you away, or they will threaten to call the police. Many churches do not want to hear the truth.
Enough on churches. We should pray FOR them, if we do or say nothing else.
You said that by what we do we determine where we will go. You are incorrect. It is not by what we do, but rather who we trust.
Are you going to trust yourself, or are you going to trust Jesus. Jesus didn't just talk. Jesus forgave. Jesus healed. Jesus gave. And, Jesus made.
Many of the things Jesus did we cannot do. Only Jesus can do those things because He is God. We, on the other hand, are NOT God. So, how do you expect us to DO the things Jesus did!? The only things we can do are the things humans, who are not God, are able or capable of doing.
We can forgive. We can be gracious and merciful. We can forget. We can be just in all our ways. We can be true. We can be fair. We can be polite and considerate. And, we can be many other things as well!
BUT! WE CAN DO NOTHING WITHOUT JESUS DOING THOSE THINGS THROUGH US!!! SO, WE HONESTLY CAN DO NOTHING GOD WANTS US TO DO UNLESS HE IS IN US DOING HIS WILL THROUGH US!!!
Anything we do ON OUR OWN without God performing His will THROUGH US is not of God, no matter how well you think we are at doing it. It is God working THROUGH us that fulfills His will IN us.
Not one human will get to heaven on his or her own merit! The only way one will get to heaven is if he or she lets God live in their hearts doing His will using us to do His will. We will not get to heaven by doing what we think is good behavior. We will only get to heaven by letting God do HIS BEST BEHAVIOR through us.
Not every person will go to the same place, either! Jesus taught of a real place called hell. Jesus didn't teach that we will have to go through hell on our way to heaven. And Jesus didn't teach that if we misbehave we will go to or go through hell on our way to heaven.
Your idea that all roads somehow lead to heaven is misplaced. Many will go to hell to wait out their sentence of being cast into the LAKE OF FIRE where they will experience Eternal Death! Hell is only a thinking place of suffering. And, if while in hell you blame God, or resist God, you can be certain that after that time you will be cast into the Lake Of Fire!!!

"Sacrificed? He was plain out murdered because he refused to rule over the earth. He didn't say - bless you for sacrificing me, he said - forgive them father for they know not what they do."
*****This among most of your postings are incorrect. He didnt come the first time to rule. He came to take on the sins of the world, die on the cross as God planned and be resurrected so that we all may live if we believe on him. Show me the scriptures and not your commentary. You are making these things up from your head which comes from Satan and not God. Show me your authority and not from you.

******WHOA.........ways to get out?? where is your authority for this lie? once you have died or the Rapture happens there is no turning back. You telling these people that there are ways to get out is THE BIGGEST LIE EVER TOLD!!!!! Prove your authority and certainly not from your inspiration but from the Bible which you quote and where Jesus said it and which verse? Or you will be known for your lies. show me your authority from the actual words of Jesus. where?????

Not even Jesus can change a fool from his ways. I dust my feet off of such people, and look for people who can hear. The people who can hear are the people looking for truth and answers. And the people looking for truth and answers go to places like this.
I trust truth. I did not learn what I know from the bible. I took many of hard and honest looks at the world. I have spent years looking into these things, looking all over at different perspectives. I was given understanding of many things. It was not until after I gained this knowledge that for the first time the words of Jesus made since. I was not christian of anykind. But I can read what he is saying and I understand it 100%. He without a doubt in my mind speaks the truth. People instead of taking and following that truth worship the idol and cross, and in the process do not follow that truth.
As Jesus is truth, then yes I do trust. I do not trust because he is son of god, I trust because he is right and speaks truth. If god comes back in the form of Jesus, great. If he does, I will know him by his fruits. Until then, I will have to continue on in the only way I can - by following truth.
God is inside you and internal, not external. John 14:20. The error however would be if you believed that only you were god, and nobody else was. It is your consciousness...
Jesus says - and even greater things than this will he do. You are capable of that and much much more. People however push people down and tell them they can't, god is external.
God gave you free will. It is only when you infringe on the will of others that you are sinning.
Jesus taught people what they could understand at the time. If he returned today, he would speak in a way that people of this time would best understand. And btw, there are many levels to hell I have read and ways to get out.

Wrong! Jesus can definitely change the heart of a fool! He changed me!
Wrong! Just searching for the truth does NOT mean you can hear! Jesus must be IN you doing His will THROUGH you for you to be able to hear!
Wrong! Just because someone comes to ATS does not mean they are seeking truth. Jesus is TRUTH, and we must seek HIM, not how to just be simply "good"!
Wrong! The Bible has nothing but truth, because it all points to Jesus!
Wrong! Everything and everyone else, besides the Bible, have distorted and twisted the truth, so their perspectives should not even be considered!
Wrong! If the words of Jesus were YOUR understanding, then you would not be trying to convince us that other perspectives taught you how and what to trust concerning Jesus Christ!
SO, YOU CONFESS YOU ARE NOT A CHRISTIAN!
And you are trying to convince other non-Christians that you understand Jesus Christ 100%? You are trying to stand on both sides of the fence! This is what is called a LUKEWARM CHRISTIAN! This way of believing is damnable to the Lake Of Fire!
Again, you are misleading! NONE OF US ARE GOD! And, only TRUE CHRISTIANS have God inside of them, and HE is Jesus!
And, God IS external as well as internal to TRUE Christians!
Jesus does HIS WORKS through us! We have no powers of our OWN! It is the power of God working to do HIS will THROUGH us!
Wrong! It is the Christian duty to INFORM people that what they are willingly doing is sin! That is INFRINGING on another person's will!
As the saying goes...NOT MY WILL LORD, BUT YOUR WILL BE DONE!
Wrong! Jesus spoke perfectly clear on the earth 2,000+ years ago, and the words He spoke then are still just as clear today as they were then!
Wrong! Where exactly did you hear that there are MANY LEVELS TO HELL?
Dante'? Dante' was one of those strange church goers you speak against!
And, there is only ONE WAY to escape going to hell...THROUGH JESUS' SACRIFICE ON THE CROSS!

Badmedia, I see that you get your name honest. Bad-media!
As I suspected you are busted for your Blasphemous lies. You cannot provide any references as I asked. Give me the references or be gone with your lies. I can't decide however, whether you are Mormon, New Ager, Scientologist, or Luciferian...which encompasses all four. Either way you are bound to discover those "different levels of Hell' unless you repent and follow Romans 10:9, as a start.

[Show me where the Holy Spirit does not support my assertion that Gods Holy word is anywhere else but the King James Version of the Bible.
You are just throwing out verses and not having a clue what they mean. You are only one with Jesus when you accept him as savior. Read Romans 10:9 for starters. Otherwise he will say, "Depart from me, I never knew you".
You know what you are doing. The punishment for you will be worse as it will be for the clergy that have fallen away from God and leading their people away after they knew the truth. This punishment is for eternity. You are heading down a rocky slope and there is no going back unless you repent and accept Jesus as Lord.
20Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
21Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
24Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
25And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
28And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
29For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

How about you show me where Jesus ever mentions a bible. He had nothing but contempt for the scribes.

And btw, why is it you can sin against the name of Jesus and be forgiven, but you can not sin against the holy spirit and be forgiven? Could it be because the image and name of Jesus isn't so important, but rather the teachings and following them?
Matthew 2:5And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,
6And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.
How can you stand there saying that Jesus NEVER mentioned the Bible?
Not only does the Bible quote the Bible, JESUS QUOTES THE BIBLE!!!
The Bible tells ALL THE TRUTH, and since Jesus is this TRUTH that the Bible points to you MUST ACCEPT THE VALIDITY OF THE BIBLE!!!
Jesus tells us to study the Bible!
I don't know where you get this Idea that the Bible was rejected by Jesus because it was written by scribes which YOU say Jesus hated, but I tell you that you are way off track!!!
And, don't try to tell me that the warnings of "WOLVES" are attributed to you just because we differ with you! You are WRONG, and not because we say so! You are wrong because you are coming against the TRUTH that we must trust in Jesus dying for our sins!
YOU DENY JESUS BEING THE SON OF GOD.
YOU DENY JESUS BEING GOD.
YOU DENY THAT WE MUST TRUST IN JESUS GIVING AWAY HIS LIFE TO DIE FOR OUR SINS!!! JESUS WAS NOT MURDERED! HE GAVE AWAY HIS LIFE!
You deny the very tenets of truth concerning Jesus Christ! And then after we point this out to you you try to condemn us for pointing out your discrepancy!
You try to condemn us by saying we are not doing the will of God!
You try to condemn us by saying that Jesus spoke of those who would kill or condemn you, and you attribute THAT to yourself!

First of all, only those who trust in what Jesus said, did, and does today will be forgiven for speaking against Jesus Christ. Only those who accept that Jesus Christ GAVE HIS LIFE FOR THEIR SINS will be forgiven for speaking against Jesus Christ.
This is where speaking BLASPHEME AGAINST THE HOLY GHOST is not forgiven. When you reject the blood that Jesus Christ shed for your sins, and call that a lie, and you believe THAT with all your heart in such a way as to completely reject this TRUTH, then you have BLASPHEMED AGAINST THE HOLY GHOST!
Why? Because the HOLY SPIRIT is the Spirit of Christ. The Spirit of Christ is CHRIST'S SPIRIT. When you have completely rejected what Christ's Spirit is trying to teach you YOU are Blaspheming the Holy Spirit of Christ!
Many are completely rejecting what Christ's Spirit is trying to teach, and it is THAT that causes a person to be unforgiven! If you continue to come against those who are the Children of Christ you are setting up yourself to fall!
You cannot expect to continue saying in one breath that you are NOT a Christian, and in the same breath that you believe in Christ, and expect a True Christian to receive you.
You cannot expect Jesus to accept you as long as you come against His Children! You cannot expect Jesus to forgive you when you say things like "Jesus is not God's Son" or "Jesus was murdered" or "You must save yourself".
None of those things are right, and none of those things are correct!
Jesus is both God's Son and God Almighty!
Jesus GAVE His life and shed His blood for our sins!
Jesus does the saving, not mankind! Mankind is not expected to save themselves! If that were true then Jesus would have NEVER gave up His life for us!
You have already acknowledged that you are NOT A CHRISTIAN.
You have already acknowledged that you do not believe Jesus is the Son of God.
You have already acknowledged that Jesus Christ is NOT God.
You have already acknowledged that Jesus was murdered.
You have already acknowledged that Jesus did NOT give His life for our sins.
You have already acknowledged that "Christians" do not know Jesus.
You have already acknowledged that one must look at outside sources to be able to understand and know Jesus Christ or Jesus Christ's sayings.
You have come against every single tenet of the Christian faith!
You have come against every Christian in this room to try to justify yourself.
You have come against every Christian by saying that we do not DO what Jesus tells us to do!
How do you know we do not do what Jesus wants us to do?
Just because you bring forth the argument does not mean you are right!
You still do not understand that it is JESUS living inside the Christian that enables the Christian to do what Jesus tells the Christian they should do.
You still do not understand that it is GOD that doeth the works of God IN and THROUGH us!
I pray and I hope you will reconsider your stance that you are right!
Why?
Because you claim that you are SEEKING TRUTH and that you KNOW AND UNDERSTAND TRUTH.
If you are honestly seeking TRUTH you will accept that which IS TRUTH.
You will honestly say within yourself, "Maybe I am trying to save myself. Maybe I am not letting Jesus control my life. Just maybe I don't KNOW Jesus by trying to comply with Jesus' words using my own abilities."
Until you SURRENDER YOURSELF to the will of Jesus Christ you will never correctly understand Jesus' words, much less KNOW JESUS PERSONALLY!
You must let Jesus show you how to let HIM direct and guide your ways.
You cannot do it on your own.
You must let Jesus become the center of your life.
You must let go of that which YOU think is right.
Until you do THAT you are lost!!!
