Responding to Mario

Dear Mario,

You said because you are not a christian the things I said make little sense to you. Mario, the Bible teaches just that.

John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."

Ezekiel 36:26-27 "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. (27) "I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them.

And this verse says it all Mario.....1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

You can not understand God unless He takes the harden heart within you and gives you a new heart. He saves you, He takes the old man full of sin and regenerates you into the New Man. A man that will follow God.

Mario,You said, "Though it sounds like something worth trying."It is not something you just try out, it is a matter of seeking the Truth only found in Jesus Christ. And yes if you do not trust Christ Mario we will have different views...but as I said in my previous post, what if I am right? Are you willing to take that risk and end up in hell or are you willing to seek out more of what God's Word has to say and offer. I pray that you will take the right path my friend.
