Religionists. What Have You Got To Offer Me?

[nailit]

Seriously, what you got to offer me?
Or is it a case of what I can avoid!

I'm deadly (excuse the pun) serious. But what can your belief system/religion/spiritual tradition/ offer me except a free pass out of hell?

An eternity of Hallelujah's?
For Eternity????

[naomi24]

But you instantly dismiss that with which you don’t want to consider.

[naomi24]

‘That which’

[nailit]

//I do investigate. I often listen to lectures and debates from atheists//
Great!!.

Now back to the question. What do you have to offer me??

[nailit]

A carrot or a stick?

[Theland]

Me offer you something? Am I God?

[Theland]

You claim to know your bible, you have all the answers you need.

[nailit]

//Me offer you something? Am I God?//
Give over with your highfaluting rhetoric!

I merley asked you, what have you got to offer me?
It's not difficult.
Its the basic question of an unbeliever.

[nailit]

//You claim to know your bible, you have all the answers you need//
According to you though, I dont know the Bible?
Which is it?

I also know the Bhagavad Gita quiet well.
That seems to offer the same kind of answers as well.
How do I tell the difference?

[Theland]

I personally have nothing to offer you, but to point you to the One who can give you everything, Jesus Christ.
Forgiveness, acceptance and eternal life.

[nailit]

Having read the Koran,
That also offers me answers.
Now Im really confused.

[Theland]

Are you after a badge?
I don't have any.
Gat to know Jesus Christ.

[Theland]

You want to know what is true?
Study the Jews, history and prophecy.
Koran and Gita have no such fulfilled prophecies.

[nailit]

//Forgiveness, acceptance and eternal life.//
1) Why would I need forgiveness for been what God has made me?
2) Acceptance into what? What does that even mean?
3) Eternal life? That sounds like hell to me. What if I dont desire eternal life. Can I refuse it?

[Mamyalynne]

Theland, just accept that you, me or indeed I suspect any of us can offer Nailit what he is asking.

Nailit, you have studied widely and found some answers but not all and you and you alone will have to make your choice/s if indeed you need to make any at all.

[nailit]

//You want to know what is true?
Study the Jews, history and prophecy.//

I have....
Its a croc.
But you know that, as I have pointed out many times on here as to why.
And you just ignore it.
The MANY failed Bible prophecies are routinely ignored in favor of a seemingly few fulfilled ones (which on close examination are anything but).

Nostradomus like....

Is it?

[Theland]

Its the basic question of somebody wanting to argue.

[nailit]

//Its the basic question of somebody wanting to argue//
How so?

Just asking what youve got to offer?

In what other area of life would you accept anything (a used car for example) without asking about it first? Exept religion?

Again, what do you have to offer (without sounding now, like a used car salesman)?

[tamborine]

I can offer you somewhere to live if youre homeless, feed & clothe you till you are back on life's track, and even get you medical attention if needed.

Would you do same for me?

[nailit]

Theland, can you offer me joy at meeting my parents, family and friends again??
(Absolutely non of whom were christians)?
