God often uses "inferior people". 1 Corinthians 1:27-29 "But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God." What's great is that to receive God's gift of salvation is you don't have to be smart. You can be of any intellect, race, creed, background, etc.

Very good question. Why don't Christians follow the old "Mosaic Law"? The answer lies in Christ. Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament law perfectly. The New Testament says His perfection of that law or "righteousness" is given to Christians thereby freeing us from the curse of the Law (i.e hell). Christians now follow Christ, not the Old Testament law. We are saved by faith in Christ, not by "works of the law". "For the law was given by Moses;grace and truth came through Jesus Christ." John 1:17

Why are those obsessed with evangelism always without talent and without videos. Can't God do any better than have inferior people "follow" Him and spread their own ignorant version of the gospel? The hight the IQ, the less likely anyone wants anything to do with all that Jazz. Kirk Cameron's IQ is well below the norm, so he's the perfect poster boy for evangelism and the warped, backward, scientifically ridiculous positions. Get a life, then,live and let live. Fantasies don't equal facts.

When God commands you (under punishment of execution) not to wear any clothing made from multiple fabrics and to abstain from eating shell fish, why do you have no problem IGFNORING those commands? Is it because you cherry pick the commands you like, and forget about those that might be inconvenient for you? Please answer this one, because I'd like to hear that tailor-made excuse (again)!

Not exactly. Christians feel free because what they desire or want to do is what God commands them to do. It's all about an ongoing transformation of your nature and desires. Not some child scared of an angry father's negative reinforcement. The wrath of God for all Christians was satisfied completely on the cross by Christ. Christians no longer suffer God's wrath and never will forevermore. A major reason why Jesus died was just that...taking the wrath of God that we deserved. Galatians 3:13 :)

"Christians" do good things only to please God, not because it's the right thing to do. They avoid doing bad things because they fear God's wrath, not because they feel it's wrong. Am I right so far? When Christians commit sins, all they have to do is ask forgiveness and repent, but they can do the same wrongs over and over, as long as they kee asking for forgiveness. Then you go to heaven after you die, and you won't have to suffer eternally in hell. Sound silly? It does to me.

Common sense tells you that doing bad things is bad and doing good things is bad. What are evangelists thinking while they are mistreating other human beings? What are they thinking when they cheat others for personal gain? A good person is compelled to avoid treating others in a way he wouldn't want to be treated, without any "God" threatening punishment or witholding of a "heavenly reward". Evangelists make it easy to be a bad person, yet still "win". Just believe and ask forgiveness.

I stand corrected. Kirk Cameron is married and fathered 2 children. He and his wife adopted 4 additional children (common practice with religious zealots. Perhaps more such generous Christians can be found to adopt the remaining 700,000+ unloved children currently in stae care?)

Are you a good person?Have you ever lied or stolen?Used blasphemy?Ever looked with lust?God sees that as adultery.Have you ever wished someone was dead?God sees that as murder.If you are guilty of these sins, God sees you as a lying, blasphemous, thief, and a murderous adulterer at heart. You're not a good person, you are like the rest of us and sadly you'll be justly damned by God at the end of days.What you need is forgiveness and cleansing from sin so repent and believe the gospel!
