    I think that he is trying to say that without the bible telling him, he or anyone else would not be able to figure out that murder is wrong

    When these people die, what do you think happens to them?

    Even Gentiles, who do not have God's written law, show that they know his law when they instinctively obey it, even without having heard it. They demonstrate that God's law is written in their hearts, for their own conscience and thoughts either accuse them or tell them they are doing right. And this is the message I proclaim---that the day is coming when God, through Christ Jesus, will judge everyone's secret life."----Romans 2:12-16

    God judges everyone and of course the one's who are living a righteous moral life will be saved and spend eternity in paradise in God's Kingdom of Heaven.

    Well in my hypo, there are no insane people or crazy people who can't distinguish between right and wrong. Everyone is relatively normal. Normal people don't kill each other. It is not beneficial to society for you to just kill other people. You have no reason to. If everyone thought, "I'm just gonna kill this guy because I like his watch" and actually acted on it, then what's stopping everyone from just killing each other? Obviously nothing. Instead, these people have the ability to reason and they say to themselves "Ok. I'm not gonna kill anyone so as not to give anyone the impetus to kill me." Society cannot function without this logical conclusion that you can't go around killing people.

    And. For once. I WOULD LIKE TO THANK SJD FOR ANSWERING MY QUESTION ADEQUATELY. While, obviously, I don't believe anything happens to these people, at least he provided a valid response.

    Even if you are unaware of god, if you are a good person, you'll be ok.

    Thank you.

    Very nice

    In KK's example, he has shown that these people know its wrong to murder, the verse you present demonstrates this.

    put it this way, if you got rid of religion, would people do evil things in the name of religion?

    if you got rid of religion, would people still do good things?

    pretty simple if you ask me, sorry if that's too difficult for you to understand

    The Gospel is a relationship with our Lord not a religion.

    Man uses there free will to kill in the name of religion, when in actuallity it's by there own choice.

    Just because we are having some debates it doesn't make this thread pointless. It comes with the territory so to speak.

    Now please don't come here again to try to end this thread. If it bothers you, don't come in to read any of the posts on this thread. Simply stay away.



    Well I guess you told me.  So SJD, if I question you or your methods or beliefs, because I am a believer, you tell me to go away.  But if a non believer challenges you, you love him, as Christ love the church.  Where Christ's love for me?

    You try in vain to convince System and the other doubters here that Christ died for them. 

    Let me give you this equation.  Knowledge + Experience = Wisedom.  You have knowledge, anyone can read the bible, memorize it, and repeat it as if it is their belief system.  "Even the demons believe, and shudder at the name of Jesus".  I memorized the bible, spent years educating myself.  What I lacked, and I suggest you do now, is a personal experience that convinces you beyond all your understanding that God exists, Jesus lived, died, and rose again, and because he did that, the Holy Spirit, when asked, comes to fill us so that we "know that we know".  Seeking God is not a cause and effect one time thing.  It is a search, a seeking, and then one day a relationship that continues to grow to many levels of personal and spiritual understanding and knowing. 

    I am simply saying, arguing with someone or trying to convince someone, or talk them into a relationship with God is pointless, and impossible.  If that were possible, anyone could do it.  But it takes the Holy Spirit to enable someone to know God, not you, or me.  My point is, are you listening to the Holy Spirit, and His will, and where he wants you to witness and spread the Word?  Or are you just trying to win an argument and glorify yourself.  It is totally up to God and SJD and the rest of those challenging you, and Rostos, whether they come to know Him one day., or not. 

    boberts427 said it simple, and great!  "my encounter can not be used as scientific evidence, but I will never need anything more".  Amen. 

    In any case, I have God's love for you, and everyone on here.  I did not mean to offend.  I hope that one day you can know the peace that I have, as well as everyone else who has a true relationship with the Father.  Peace.

    No, don't get me wrong my brother! I just disagreed with your view that this thread is pointless and did not like to hear you say we should just stop it, I mentioned to you an alternative which was if you don't like the thread because you regard it as pointless then don't come to the thread if it upsets you.

    I didn't mean to sound harsh or anything like that and furthermore I love everyone just like how our Lord Savior Jesus Christ loves everyone.

    You and everyone else will always be welcomed to this thread. Let me just leave you with a beautiful passage in the bible which will adequately explain my position here.

    As Jesus was walking along, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at his tax collector's booth. "Follow me and be my disciple," Jesus said to him. So Matthew got up and followed him. Later, Matthew invited Jesus and his disciples to his home as dinner guests, along with many tax collectors and other disreputable sinners. But when the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with such scum?" When Jesus heard this, He said, "Healthy people don't need a doctor---sick people do." Then He added. "Now go and learn the meaning of this Scripture: I want you to show mercy, not offer sacrifices. For I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners."---Matthew 9:9-13
