<quoted text>Let's see if I got this straight: God created me, but stuck me on this planet, with no way to leave but die. God created this this evil critter of which you speak, and it can go anywhere, but for funsies, God gave it dominion over this planet, so it won't wander off. God further sent his only son down to die a death more horrible than slaughtering a hog. He did all this so I can be saved from this evil critter, and live forever with the God who instigated the whole travesty?
In short, I can be saved only if I believe God can save me from......God?

Jesus Declared That
He Was The Only Way -
to the Father (John 14:6)– his Father is in heaven ( Matthew 7:21, 10:32-33) so He was telling us that He was the only way to heaven. Jesus also said that some who called Him Lord were not truly His children (Matthew 7:21) but only those who do the will of the Father. Jesus asked His disciples who they thought He was, and Peter acknowledged Jesus to be the Christ (Messiah)(Matthew 16:13-17). Either Jesus Christ is the Messiah or He is not! That means that every person on the planet, whether Jewish or Gentile, has a choice to make concerning the Messiah.
I choose ro believe Jesus is GOD

You can choose to believe my cat is God. It doesn't make it so.
BTW, you don't even know what the Messiah is. All you know is the lies of a binch of Roman pagans.

John 20:28–29

Thomas answered and said to Him,“My Lord and my God!”

Jesus said to him,“Because you have seen Me, have you believed? Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed.”

I believe Jesus is God

The OT says Satan is an alegorical Character in the fictional story called "Job", nothing more. Jesus in the NT gospels says Satan was a character in a dream he had, nothing more.

Read the book in the original Hebrew and Greek. The English version sucks.

After Jesus rose from the dead He encouraged His disciples to preach the gospel to the whole world. Jesus told them that the believers would be saved and the unbelievers would be damned.(Matthew 16:15-16) What does it mean to be DAMNED according to Jesus Christ? Listen to Him for yourself!

Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?(Matthew 23:33)
Jesus is Lord

Who cares what zombie Jesus is supposed to have said?

What is important is that you really don't know who was being called sepents and a generation of vipers, do you?

It was talking about people who claimed to have religious authority over others.

In other words, it was talking about you.

A Christian who doesn't even understand his own Bible.

Is that a hoot, or what?

Nope. The truth doesn't bother me at all. Jesus never claimed to be God.

You hate that no one is buying your lies about God and Jesus.

Thank you for proving you are an idiot.

The Messiah is not God. The Messiah is 100% human. That is why Jews and Muslims say Chrisitianity is wrong.

Enjoy your paganism Clownie. It doesn't damn me at all.

Not even a smooth dodge.

Pretty much what I just said - I can be saved and live with God forever only if I believe God can save me from......God.

Yet Thomas was not condemned for requiring proof.
I require no less, nor more, than Thomas.
