Jesus came here not condemn, but to save.

Nature is God's gift to us. He loves it as much as He loves us, and we should give respect to Nature because believe it or not - it takes care of me and you more than you know.

Wow, China has 70 million Christians? I love reading that, that means 70 million brothers and sisters in Christ. (Perhaps though not all of that sum are saved and that is just an estimate?)

Romans 10:9-13 -- 9That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Acts 4:12 -- Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

John 3:17 -- For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

John 14:6 -- Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Whoever makes fun of these Scriptures is not going to have the last laugh, I can guarantee you that! This a very serious matter of utmost gravity and sincerity. Your life hangs in the balance. Believe on the name of the Lord and be saved. Read what Romans 10 says above and do that proceedure. Become one of HIS saints.

Yes, even if they have 70 million Christians some of them are saved and some are well...not.

It's like in the United States. People say they are "Christians" but the majority of them don't really care...and the number that does gets pushed out the way.

I do not agree with you assessment on this. In China you can be beaten, tortured, jailed and sometimes killed if you call yourself Christian so I do not think any take the name lightly. I have had the privilege of hearing one of the major leaders of the Chinese house church speak recently. He has been imprisoned just on suspicion of being Christian and though he spoke in the USA they did not use his real name even here. The harder they crack down the more the church disperses, the n more is disperses the more it spreads. You cannot stop the Word of God, just ask the Roman Empire.

I know that B. I wasn't saying that that doesn't happen. Regardless of that, I do not understand whay you saw in my post?

Also, when I meant "get pushed out the way" I meant that we are usually a lot more quiet, I suppose. I'm not really a loud and about person.

The part I highlighted in red was the part I was disagreeing with. I respect your right to you opinion there I simply do not believe anyone who is not serious about Christ would take the risk.

I was primarily talking about the U.S. NOT China.

I still don't understand, but I won't bother myself over it. Whatever.
