OLAADEGBU: Question: "Why do people reject Jesus as their Saviour?" Answer: The decision to accept or reject Jesus as Saviour is the ultimate life decision. Why do many people choose to reject Jesus as Saviour? There are perhaps as many different reasons for rejecting Christ as there are people who reject Him, but the following four reasons can serve as general categories: 1) Some people do not think they need a saviour. These people consider themselves to be “basically good” and do not realize that they, like all people, are sinners who cannot come to God on their own terms. But Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). Those who reject Christ will not be able to stand before God and successfully plead their own case on their own merits. 2) The fear of social rejection or persecution deters some people from receiving Christ as Saviour. The unbelievers in John 12:42-43 would not confess Christ because they were more concerned with their status among their peers than doing God’s will. These were the Pharisees whose love of position and the esteem of others blinded them, “for they loved the approval of men rather than the approval of God.” 3) For some people, the things that the present world has to offer are more appealing than eternal things. We read the story of such a man in Matthew 19:16-23. This man was not willing to lose his earthly possessions in order to gain an eternal relationship with Jesus (see also 2 Corinthians 4:16-18). 4) Many people are simply resisting the Holy Spirit’s attempts to draw them to faith in Christ. Stephen, a leader in the early church, told those who were about to murder him, “You stiff-necked people, with uncircumcised hearts and ears! You are just like your fathers: You always resist the Holy Spirit!” (Acts 7:51). The apostle Paul made a similar statement to a group of gospel rejecters in Acts 28:23-27. Whatever the reasons why people reject Jesus Christ, their rejection has disastrous eternal consequences. “There is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved” than the name of Jesus (Acts 4:12), and those who reject Him, for whatever reason, face an eternity in the “outer darkness” of hell where there will be “weeping and gnashing of teeth” (Matthew 25:30).

I deny Jesus because not only have I not met the individual, but the people who claim to have met him don't seem too afraid of disobeying him. I wouldn't dare disobey a dictator who sees everything under the sun. |

Weah96: You are still giving lame excuses. Why not admit that it is because you love your sinful lifestyle and that you don't want to be accountable on the Judgment Day? |

OLAADEGBU: Thou shall not tell lies. You're encouraging me to lie. That's another reason why Jesus is a myth. If Jesus was real, you wouldn't be coercing others to tell lies. |

Rejection doesn't change the fact that Jesus exists,soon it will not matter anymore what people believe. Soon everyone will come to that realization that He is Alive. https://www.nairaland.com/2032755/party-party-party |

OLAADEGBU: I know I didn't. But you, on the other hand, put your Jesus business on display like a Pharisee so I expected you to at least care about the commandments. Here you are, coercing me to tell a lie, because my comment is incompatible with your pre determined paradigm. Jesus cannot be real and you just proved my point with your demonstration. |

Weah96: You are living a lie and you will reap whatever you sow. Repent before it is too late. "For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen" (Romans 1:20-25). |

OLAADEGBU: I would wipe my behind with the pages of your holy book, if I wasn't afraid of lowering the intellect of my arse. Keep your Caucasian male God away from me. Your God looks like the God Thor from the Hollywood movies. Except Thor never sends a message by another person, while your own God cannot operate without illiterate people doing his bidding. 1 Like |

Weah96: These words would come back to haunt you on the day of reckoning if you don't repent and believe the gospel. There is a time for sowing and reaping. Harvest time is around the corner where everyone will give an account of what their deeds. |

OLAADEGBU: Otherwise, I'm going to roast eternally, is that right? Does Hitler deserve that kind of punishment, in your opinion? Use your brain, adult. |

Weah96: We all deserve "to roast in hell" but the Cross of Christ brings Mercy, if we receive His grace. |
