My purpose is also to help perpetuate the species so that we'll still be around when it is time to get the starship U.S.S.Enterprise built.

I believe the gospel's purpose is temporal. The ultimate purpose of life is to be co-heirs with Christ of the glory to be revealed. When that era dawns and sin is swept away, the gospel will live on in the testimony of the redeemed. Those aware of the gospel are accountable for their response. Those unaware will be judged by their conscience. Those who die in their youth get a back stage pass. Those who don't consider themselves worthy of eternal life needn't whine if God doesn't either--they go to the place prepared for Satan and his angels. All fully stated for centuries. I think many Christians--myself included--fail to understand the gravity God assigns to this decision. The result can be a flippant or snarky dressing down of sinners, which is sad to see when it happens. But no one is guaranteed an Oscar performance in the delivery of gospel truth.

You're a class dude, OM!

That sounds like extortion and slavery to me. If I told your mother she had to worship me or I'd kill her, would you put up with that?

Jesus never said anything anywhere near like that. You're an idiot.

Matthew 10:34–36

Misinterpret much? You're an idiot. The "death" he spoke of is what is waiting after mortal death. Eternal life if what he spoke of if Jesus was followed. "Life" and "Death" in scripture pertains to heaven in many instances. You READ the Bible but obviously didn't comprehend anything.

Don't call him an Idiot brother the Lord reproved me of that long ago...avoid calling names, God bless you brother.

The Lord did no such thing for me. I call a spade a spade. His statement was idiotic and ignorant. I spent many years in the Christian faith as well as practiced Jewish tradition with my ex-wife. After obtaining a minor in Theological studies I determined the path you and other religious people chose was no longer for me. I find life much easier and with less confusion without the robotic, tunnel vision influence of religion.

Father God in Jesus' name i pray for all my brothers in Christ in this comment seccion as well as all the others who have not come to know of your Everlasting Life.
