Why do people reject Jesus when they know very well what the scriptures say will happen to them if they do?

They choose not to believe (as you do).

I read Harry Potter, but I'm not out fighting Voldemort.

Because I don't believe your scriptures.

If I reject your premise, everything that follows is a moot point.

Because the scripture is rubbish.

And i actual believe what the scriptures say because....

For exactly the same reason you reject allah when you know very well what the koran says will happen to you.
It's all bs....even the one you believe in.

Because we reject the scriptures too...

LMAO!!!!!!! I could not care less what your book written by men has to say about anything.

ummmm? are you kidding?

if i reject Jesus, and your God. (just the same as you reject all of the gods of every other culture on the planet)

what makes you think that i believe in your Scripture enough to worry about it?

Uhm, cause Jesus is fake and the scriptures are made up?

Because it's inherent for people to feel that a threat isn't a healthy thing. This is one of the main reasons I refuse to become involved in religion. I don't believe it, I just don't. I was raised christian and I've had so many negative emotions directed toward me by christians if I do not comply.

I like Jesus, I think some of the teachings have merit. I do not like threats, however, and it goes against my values.

why do u reject me???? when i already told you youre going to someplace called "poooooisdhisahdisdia" on mars if you dont believe im the higher power???? man youre doomed

Probably for the same reasons why people reject the flying spaghetti monster, even though they know very well what will happen to them if they do.....they will eventually feel its noodly appendages.

Well, because if you don't believe in Jesus, chances are real good you don't believe in scriptures either. Follow me here?

Research where the scriptures came from and how they came about, and you will understand why I reject Jesus. I don't care what the scriptures say. They're stories written by man. They're good stories to supply the population with morals, but they're meaningless.

Free-will gives us the freedom to think and believe otherwise.

I "know" no such thing.
Because of freewill, my experiences in life and my education I am not intimidated into believing your version of what may come after I die.

Why do you put the fate of your soul in the hands of a book edited by committee? Ask yourself this: "If King James isn't God, then why is his word gospel?"

Because I don't believe, duh! Jesus is mythology.

Your rituals and books are true to you, that does not mean that everyone else has infinite knowledge of them, let alone believe them

Because the Bible is just a book, nothing more to people who reject Jesus, therefore it is not a valid source.

Because the scriptures are only a book written by men long after Jesus was dead and buried.

After it was written it has been translated, edited, translated, undergone major revision, translated and edited again.

Not to mention the countless transcriptions.

Compare the Torah to the OT - Its the same stories, but the Torah has had less revisions. Compare both to the Dead Sea scrolls. The stories have been enhanced in the retelling. Bits that don't fit with the image of the time get ripped out.


We reject the scriptures - they are the product of a stone age culture and have as much relevance as the Odyssey and the Iliad.

Chances are if they reject him they do not believe scriptures or at least the New Testament.

Not if. When. And they don't "know very well" or care. God will not save everyone, we both know that.

Because they would rather sin.

Why do people smoke cigarettes or do drugs or drink and drive....or any myriad of other silly & potentially harmful things...?...if we knew the answer it would be a different world!
