You rejected the Bible thus rejected God.

What a silly, silly statement. God and the bible are NOT codependent on each other. It's very possible to believe in and accept God without believing or accepting the hogwash in the Old Testament. And that's what a lot of it is .... hogwash that has been proven to be dead wrong. I reject large portions of the O.T. ... and guess what ... I don't reject God. The two are separate issues.

That's not true. God has already Judged them in His Word!

It's a true statement whether you accept it or not.
You reject God, and that is the end of the matter.

GOD will judge everyone. It's not our place to do so. And it's not our place to use the bible as an excuse to pretend to be God and judge the hearts of others. That's putting ourselves in God's place .. which is a sin.

No dude. Your statement is UNTRUE, whether you accept that or not, you are still dead wrong. A person doesn't have to literally believe the entire bible in order to believe in God. God and the bible are not codependent. It's absurd.

Wrong, Genius. I accept God. I worship God. I pray to God. I do NOT accept man-made stories about God. BIG DIFFERENCE.

So most people on the planet are doomed because of where they were born...
You were born in a western nation and If religious probably Christian..a Japanese person most probably a Shintoist and so forth.
Do you take everything in the Bible to be true? because it isn't many things in it have been proven to not have happened or can not happen you know.

I am simply saying that God's Holy scriptures in the Bible has already judged mans sin.
God gave Moses the ten commandments which is God's moral standard for living.

You believe in a god that you fashioned in your mind that doesn't exist in reality which is called idolatry
That is because you won't submit to the one and only true living God who revealed himself to mankind in the Bible.
A person who rejects the Bible like you HAS rejected God ....
You have replaced the TRUE living GOD ...
Let's stop playing silly games...
Jesus Christ is God and you reject Him.

Please feel free to "enlighten" us with what parts of the bible have been "proven" to not have happened..
The "of Hell" part is your interpretive addition.
Those who reject Him, for whatever reason, will face an eternity in the “outer darkness” of hell where there will be “weeping and gnashing of teeth” (Matthew 25:30).
I think that Jesus meant the Jews who had evidence to believe him but rejected him.
God has already Judged them in His Word!
Jesus, standing in the temple named for YHWH, told the high priests and the teachers of the Law that they did not know God.
You believe in a god that you fashioned in your mind that doesn't exist in reality which is called idolatry. That is because you won't submit to the one and only true living God who revealed himself to mankind in the Bible. A person who rejects the Bible like you HAS rejected God because He is the only TRUE living GOD.
We understand God, as Christians, by how He is revealed by Jesus.
You have replaced the TRUE living GOD with the one you fashioned in your mind and thus you pray to a god that doesn't exist.
That was the character, Abraham, saying that in the parable of Lazarus.
Jesus' own words:
Luke 16:31 "And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead."
Which was about how Moses said that another would come who was like him, and to follow him.
John 5:47
"If you don't believe what Moses wrote, how will you ever believe what I say?"

Jesus said this line in parables where this was a real world action taken by characters in the stories.
You may interpret the parables as being about Hell, but that is not necessarily the correct interpretation.
For example, I take them as being about what was going to happen to Judea after it rejected and killed Jesus.
Which was the eventual destruction of it as a nation.

So how is Wicca any more evil than any other religion or philosophy that isn't in line with your personal belief system. Aren't you condemning everything and everyone that doesn't fit in your would view, not just Wicca?
I don't remember seeing any "Help Wanted * Judgers Needed" sign in the Bible. When and how did you get the job?
