Why do people reject Christ?

[YahDough]

Let's hear some reasons for such behavior.

Let's hear some reasons for such behavior.

Devotion to truth over certainty, commitment to integrity over bliss.

Let's hear some reasons for such behavior.

For the same reason that you reject Muhammad, Buddha, Joseph Smith, Charlie Russell, Jim Jones, Sun Myung Moon.
Or perhaps for the same reason you reject Zeus, Aphrodite, Allah, Thor, Xenu.

Do you understand now?

How do you know what I reject?

It's what a person "believes" that makes the difference.

Jn:3:16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Are you claiming that you don't reject either the "prophets" or "gods" I suggested? You didn't ask about what people "believe" you asked why Christ was rejected by some people.
If you don't reject those I listed, then you are indeed a strange christian. If you do, then you know why I reject Christ.

How can I "reject" things that already exist. Many false things exist.
I just do not believe in them. Do you know what "believe in" means?

Thanks for that. You accept that Muhammad is the last prophet of the one true god, Allah?

I accept that Muslims believe that. I accept Allah as another name for God or YHWH. He is the God of Abraham.

According to the words of Christ, who the Muslims regard as a prophet, a prophet must perish in Jerusalem. Muhammed did not perish in Jerusalem.

Lk:13:33: Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.

You accept Joseph Smith as a prophet of god after the last prophet Muhammad? That is an interesting concept. Would you care to explain?

Truth IS certainty.
Is your concept of everlasting life "bliss"?

Life more abundant perhaps, but everlasting bliss? Where does God promise this

Jn:10:10: The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

What exactly do you man by 'reject'?

Reject that he actually existed?

Reject his divinity?

Reject the he could be back went week?

Unsubstantiated evidence, no supernatural events that can be verified, 2000 years of no return (even though the return was supposed to be very soon), I can refute the bible all day because I have read it 4 times and studied it on a collegiate level, and philosophically it is illogical.

That's interesting. Too bad the Holy Ghost wasn't helping you read.

1Cor:1:18: For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

Im sure if the holy ghost was real then 25 years of belief in it would have led me to the truth.

You gave credence to the Holy Ghost, but it doesn't appear you had Him. Or if you did have him in some measure, it certainly appears you lost Him. Lots of people fall away from Christ.

Acts:2:38: Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

I was more devout to Jesus than you could imagine. I could say the same to you. You just don't know the scriptures and there is something in your life that is keeping you from understanding the truth. You think you know Jesus but satan has caused you to mis your step.

[Bust Nak]

Truth IS certainty.

There are tonnes of statements that are true but I aren't certain about. There very likely many statements that I am certain about, but aren't infact true. We can then conclude that you are incorrect: Truth is not certainty.

Is your concept of everlasting life "bliss"?

Yes.

Life more abundant perhaps, but everlasting bliss? Where does God promise this

Jn:10:10: The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

God promised bliss in Jn:10:10 apparently. I don't understand what point you are making, Life more abundant isn't bliss?

Get a dictionary. I'm not here to define simple words for you.

[YahDough]

I believe Christ Jesus was, is, and will be the Messiah. I am told "Messiah" means last prophet.

You had it rough Nickman. As a former Mormon you had to contend with a well written fiction book(BOM) along with the real deal. (Holy Bible). I don't blame you for rebellion. You are smarter than most Mormons. Unfortunately it appears you rebelled against everything pertaining to the truth of God and not just the cult.

What you have accused me of is your own testimony.
