I think it was both Rog. "most" believers, in Christ and what He did on the cross for all of us, want share what God has done in their lives as well as see someone who doesn't believe come to salvation. As far as being offended, I can't stand to see people post pics with dregrading Christ and the price He payed. But just as most wil stand up for someone they love, respect, and honor, a Believer should and needs to stand up for Christ and what they believe. As for the 2nd part of the question, it just amazes me how people can have skulls, demons, 666, etc. and no one says a word, but have a Christian stand up for Christ, they get bashed. Shows how dark the world truely is, people will stand up for evil and not for righteousness.

It's really about sharing in one's testimony in hopes God will work through that person to bring someone to know the Lord and yes if you care for someone & as Believers, we should care for those who believe and those who don't, you want see them come to salvation. Eternity is a long time, whether you believe or not, once you take you're last breath and step into it, it's too late. Believing that Christ died for you is a choice God has given each one of us, it's up to us to accept the free gift of salvation or decline it, but you only get one chance and that's while you are here. And no one knows the time or hour they will take their last breath.
I'm sure there are some who preach out of fear for their own soul, that's called trying to earn their way into heaven, nothing we can do can, no amount of good works can get us to heaven. If that's the case what Christ did on the cross is null and void.


Niether, again nothing we can do can earn our way to heaven. It all rests on what Christ did for us.
John 14:6 Jesus says "I am the way, the truth, and the life, no on come to the Father exept through me."
Act 4:12 "Nor is there salvation in other, for there no no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."

I'm not preachiong religion casue it's not about religion, God hates religion, religion is man made. It's about a relationship, all ways was and will be.

Glad to hear it and I'm not preaching religion or pushing my views on anyone, do I wish all would come to know the Lord, yes, but the truth is most will reject Him. And IMO I don't think KingMoto was pushing religion, just standing up for the Lord.
And IMO it takes more faith to believe that we came from monkeys and the earth just happened, than to believe that there is a creator that cares and loves us.

I know kingmoto (crazymike) haha I think it is really good what he is doing and what he believes in. He is just a person like me or you and a really great guy and hes also a fellow stunt rider who does free shows so dont bash on him...

 

never thought id see bible thumping stunters..silly billies god doesn't exist

 

you are still young kid...but believe me there will come a day when you cannot make sense of it all and you will find yourself crying out to God, maybe in anger maybe in fear...who knows what the situation will be but i garuntee you it will come... and you know what?? when it does GOD will be there.He will hear your cry and He will meet you where you are.. He will make Himself real to you

 

I like the new av!!!

 

I'm always strapped, when I hit the club? Does anyone really think that LITTLE waynes 5ft nothing *** can actually hold a full size pistol???

 

Before you go telling us dont bash him ready the thread... Me personally was not bashing him at all.. He was geting all mad at ben for having an opinion that was not the same as his and acting like ben does not have the right to say it.. And thats how all this got started im not going to get in to it all again cause i had a nice night of finding my new dirtbike and geting to ride a little.. But dont go turning this on us saying we started it and we are trashing... As always fights about religion and the person defended themselfs looks like the bad guy to everyone else... As to kingmoto and uponone... and everyone else thank you for comeing back and not being all pissy and just talking about it... Im pretty sure thats all 90% of the people here were upset about in the first part... I know for a fact thats all i wanted.

 

 

Ok, I don't think I said yes...if I did that was a typo. Whenever this topic is brought up I look at this one particular verse in the book of Romans...because it does kinda pinpoint the issue. Here (Rom. 2:12-16) the apostle Paul is talking about the Gentiles who do not have the law. Gentiles is a bible term that really just means anybody who is not of Jewish decent...as the jews received the law through Moses. So a Gentile encompassed any group of people who were not taught the law, and did not have the ten commandments (at the time that Paul wrote Romans, the roman people were considered Gentiles...and so were the african tribes and people in China and where ever). Anyway, in this scripture, Paul basically explains that anyone who did not have the law (to obey...because just hearing the law without obeying it was useless) still have the requirements of the law written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness. I really think that when God mad mankind that he programmed us with a conscience that knows what's right and what's wrong. It sure seems that no matter what people group you look at, all groups will unanimously agree that it is wrong to kill another person, or steal...etc. But, once a person has received the law, this passage says that they will be judged according to what they know. If they have never been taught the law, it seems that God is going to judge them according to what they do know. "For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities-- his eternal power and divine nature-- have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse." Romans 1:20

But once a person has been told the truth, (that we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, and that we are all in need of the only Savior that can remove our sins and save us from the wrath of God) and yet they reject that truth, then they will receive the wrath of God.

one more verse along these lines:
"If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God. Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. How much more severely do you think a man deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God under foot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace? For we know him who said, 'It is mine to avenge; I will repay,' and again, 'The Lord will judge his people. It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God." Hebrews 10:26

That's alot of reading!

 

well put and a good explanation!!! what translation is your book?

 

thanks man. It's an NIV/Message parallel bible. I generally just read the NIV side, but the Message is good if you like the most modern english (a bit wordy, imo). Both are alot easier to read then KJV.

When I first started reading the bible on a regular basis (2 yrs ago) I had a NLT (new living translation) it was ultra easy to understand, but she's falling apart...kinda like my stunt bike
