“Aren’t all religions the

There are FOUR main reasons why people, believe
the way they do:
2. Pride – These people are wrapped up in their own self-centred
and ego centric universe, and will not admit they need God’s help for
eternal
salvation (John 5:40-43,44; Acts 16:31)
3. Bitterness – These are bitter with God for letting pain, suffering
and injustice enter their world … “If God’s not concerned with helping
us, why
would we be interested in him!”
4. Moral impurity – These people are knee deep in the pleasures of the
flesh and will not give up their present lifestyle. Their motto is
“It’s my
life and I’ll do what I want!”. They love their sins, and resent God
demanding
that they be born again with new heart.
It is not “I can’t” but “I won’t.” It’s a problem of
their will. An example is as follows:
A Christian when talking with a bright University
student said “If I can prove to your satisfaction, the claim of
Christianity to
be true, will you receive Christ?”
The university student’s reply was “No.”
To which the Christian said “Then the problem is not
with your mind, but in your will. It’s not an intellectual stumbling
block in
your mind, but a voluntary acceptance in your will.”
As they say “Keep an open mind” … and click on the
