Second, Yahweh isn’t a cruel God. Your soul will burn up and you will cease to exist. He doesn’t want to enact pain on anyone. There is a good chance non-believers will just cease to exist. It states that everyone who has ever lived will be Judged on Judgment Day. The ones who believe in Jesus and have a relationship with Him will be protected the rest of into the lake of fire and cease to exist. Many theologists believe this. I witness to people I feel are in need. I don’t preach to those I know will just argue and feel offended. Once I was witnessing to a pagan woman and she became offended. It is a waste of time. The Bible even says not to witness to those where the words will fall on deaf ears. In the gospel it says don’t give your pearls to pigs or your diamonds to dogs. They will take advantage of your good nature or they will just not appreciate it. I witness to those that seem receptive. But I won’t push my religion once someone is clearly not going to listen. That is where the ‘deaf ears’ comes in.

That would have been a sufficient statement on its own.

I meant there is no biblical evidence. But I understand anyone who doesn’t believe in what the Bible says because to them it is just a book. If I were on the other side I would have a hard time. I knew science before I fully knew Jesus. In a way I am still getting to know him. I pray for more faith by the minute. I believe because I had an out of body experience when I almost died. That’s what brought me here. My brother is an atheist or he is struggling to believe what he seems the supernatural parts of the Bible. And it is albeit, foreign to most people. To believe is not an easy feat for some. But God needs people who are what He calls ‘fertile ground’ people who are going to easily receive His word. Those who aren’t are said to be ‘rocks and thorns’ unable to let the spread seeds grow. That is relating to faith with a metaphor from one of Jesus’ parables. Anyway. Have a wonderful day!

He surely doesn’t. I’m sorry to hear you almost died. The brain does some pretty crazy things with chemicals in those situations.

Alright we can agree to disagree.
