Christianity is not a religion

For some, a religion is all Christianity will ever be. They miss it.
Religion says, "If you do this, then you will achieve that." What
Christianity is is this: "You cannot achieve Heaven on your own
because you're riddled with sin. So, I will meet you at the point
of your sin and forgive you, making it then possible for you to
have that which you could not otherwise have."
When you apply this to Christianity it's God's love poured out for
us, despite our guilt, despite our sin, despite us having been rude
and mean and hateful and rejecting Him with everything in our lives
for even decades ... yet does He love us. Yet is He willing to forgive
us.

I don't agree with the speakers on everything they write, say, or
do, but on these points they nailed it.
God comes to us while we are STILL sinners, He then cleanses us and
makes us whole, right, restored in God's sight, which then filters
in to the rest of our lives here by the new nature He also gives us.
True Christians do because we have been changed from within and it is
now our natural desire to do, not because of religious rituals.

If you are looking for Him to appear before you personally, then if you
ask Him to come to you He will ... if you are asking truthfully. If you
are willing to say, "God, I don't know for sure if you are real or not,
but if you are I want to know the truth. I want to know for sure within
me that you really are real..." If you ask something like that, and are
truly sincere, then stand back because your whole life is about to
change forever.

It is a fearful thing to reject God. It means one's soul remains under
condemnation, which means the end will be far worse than the beginning.
But for those who come to Jesus acknowledging their own sin and asking
forgiveness, the same are forgiven, and their end begins today, and is
far greater than their beginning.
Only the individual will send themselves to Hell. Jesus has already
done everything to save all people world-wide. Only by rejecting His
free offer does a person send themselves to Hell.

You demand God come to you as you demand Him to come to you. It does
not work like that. God is who God is. He is as He is. You must come
to Him as He is, because He has a purpose for being the way He is, and
He has a purpose for calling you to Him the way He is.
Jesus is only truth, only rightness, only righteousness, only faithful.
He is nothing negative, so to come to Him is to approach all goodness
where goodness is.
By demanding He come to you, you're trying to alter the way He is by
transforming Him per your own beliefs on how He should be, or where He
should be. It is to place self above God.
It is not like that, Mr. Man-wai Chang. It will never be like that.
It is how it is, and God will receive all who come to Him, but they
must come to Him humbly, acknowledging they are a sinner, and then
also humbly asking for forgiveness.
They are the only ones who will be saved. The rest will perish in
their stubborn pride and arrogance.

The concept is difficult for people to understand, but God is one. He
is Father, Son, Holy Spirit, just as we, made in His image and likeness,
are soul, body, spirit.
It's why unsaved people cannot understand this concept. They are dead
in the spirit, and their soul is under condemnation, so they only have
their flesh-based knowledge and ability to understand. It is only for
those who seek the truth, who are drawn from within to God, who then
ask for and receive forgiveness, who are then born again spiritually,
and their soul is removed from condemnation, enabling them to experience
the full fruit of the full life God intended for us, be it still dimin-
ished here in this fallen-in-sin world, in these fallen-in-sin bodies,
such that we continue to struggle, but being alive again spiritually
we are able to overcome and do despite the difficulties.

Chang. Your witness is one of purposefully denying the truth, the real
intent and meaning of things, and twisting it slightly in your replies,
therefore usurping what didn't exist, and wasn't your to approach.
If you go back and re-read my posts, you will see no bashing.
You will see a man concerned about your eternal soul, and teaching you
to go to the Bible and see for yourself if what I write is true.

Jesus commanded us to teach. It may seem that way to people who are
rebelling against the message, but to be honest, that is their own
issue and not those who teach correctly about Christ, teaching that
we are all sinners and need forgiveness. Jesus has commanded that
His teaching go forth because He desires that all people would hear
the message, repent, and be saved. He doesn't want any to go to Hell.
Nonetheless, He will honor their choice.
This is my last post to you, Mr. Main-wai Chang. The information is
before you. You can examine it for yourself to see if what I've taught
is correct or not. You can heed the warning I've given you regarding
your own sin and your need for forgiveness or not.
The choice is yours. I am innocent of your blood.

Full story:
<http://www.bbcamerica.com/shows/ripper-street/blog/2012/12/whitechapel>
By 1888, London was the largest capital in the world and the center of
the ever-increasing British empire. Queen Victoria had been on the
throne for over 50 years and the public face of Britain reflected
Victoria’s lifestyle; proud, dignified and above all, proper.
It was the center of empire, culture, finance, communication and
transportation, with a new emerging mass media called the new
journalism, later to be dubbed the tabloids.
However, right on its doorstep in the East End lay the district of
Whitechapel. Seedy by any standards, it was a crime-ridden sordid
quarter, where 78,000 residents lived in abject poverty. It was an area
of doss houses, sweatshops, abattoirs, overcrowded slums, pubs, a few
shops and warehouses, leavened with a row or two of respectably kept
cottages.
Whitechapel housed London’s worst slums and the poverty of its
inhabitants was appalling. In fact, malnutrition and disease was so
widespread that its inhabitants had about a 50/50 chance of living past
the age of five years old.

Peter, go back over the past 45 days and count the number of what you
are calling "spam posts" I've made in these groups, compared to the
number of posts you've made in these groups (both as Peter Cheung, and
