Sploom:
I think that wraps up the whole matter then and its time to wind this thread up and talk about something else instead on one of the other threads.
Promise, promises… But I don’t believe you can drop this topic
Sploom:
Robroy.
How much confidence will you have when you have one day left on this earth?
Me,I will have none,except faith in Jesus Christ
And there’s the proof, two minutes after saying you wanted to end it, you’re back on your crusade 
Sploom:
Im frightened of water too.
Don’t you get free lessons on how to walk on the water?
It doesn’t suprise me you’re scared of water and can’t swim, I imagine you’ve spent most of your life in fear of something or other. Now you spend seemingly all of your time being scared of dying. Hence, you are vulnerable to the snake oil peddlers who fill you with BS, no wonder you long for an afterlife, you don’t seem to have made very much use of the life you’ve been given. Tragic.

You arent saying anything constructive so I cant reply to you.
Everybody else.
Its time to wind up this topic now.Its ran its course, otherwise we end up going round in circles.
You’ve been going round in circles since page 1.
There he goes again with promises to wind it up: how long until he’s back quoting Verse this, Chapter that? Pound to a penny he can’t make it until the end of the day.
Mind, I am tickled by the notion that I’m not being constructive, after he’s spent most of the previous 20-something pages doggedly pursuing an unattainable conversion conquest, "Oh Robroy, Robroy, wherefore art thou an atheist Robroy…
The Religious Nut Jobs never give up.
When I was at sea many years ago, the Nut Jobs at my parent’s Baptist church found out we had Indian Crew.
Our catering staff were Goanese Catholic and the deck & engine room lads were Muslim. We used to keep the Muslims updated as to the direction of Mecca and when the weather was good they would always spend a couple of minutes on deck in communal prayer before they turned to.
The Nut Jobs sent me a parcel full of Evangelical Sales Pamphlets in various Indian languages hoping I would hand them out.
They just saw them as Heathens & Pagans, whereas they were, without exception, the most delightful people you could wish to work with. Always smiling, helpful and did their best at whatever task they were given.
The Evangelical Sales Pamphlets went straight into the sea, and I began to prefer Muslims to Christians, though their fundamentalist lot are as bad as our so-called Christian lot.
I love the way Sploom quotes a work of fiction to back up what he says.

All this stuff with him involving me started on another thread.
We were discussing something non religious and I made a random off the cuff joke about keeping away from the Grim Reaper.
He jumped on me like a randy mongrel on a poodle telling me I should be ‘‘Turning to Jesus for salvation’’ instead, or some similar cack,.and it just snowballed from there. 
I thought it had died a death and he started this thread addressing me by name.
I think he sees me as ‘‘The ultimate challenge’’ .

Aha! Thus suggesting a mutual fear of death, so he bonded with you to “save you”, fortunately I have managed to present myself as being “unsavable” Thank God for that. 
I used to run a few trucks to the Middle East back in the day.
Whilst Robroy and I might disagree about ■■■■■■■■ & other issues, If I had to decide whether I would give Sploom or Robroy the seat in the next wagon setting off for Jeddah, Robroy would win hands down.
The last thing you would want on a trip that needed self-confidence and yet a degree of humility is a Born Again ZB Christian.
Obviously, there are some employers in the UK that are desperate for drivers, but if I was employing Sploom I would want Driver facing cameras in case he got his Bible out to decide how he should be driving.

Im not done with you yet! We have to pray you will one day be saved.Im sure I read somewhere,the hottest place in hell is those who have had light,seen the truth,and rejected it.I DONT want you to be there.Its not about me getting bored.You said you were brought up in a Christian home,then you have me preaching to you(if you can call it that).
That puts you in a worse position than those who never knew the Gospel.Some people will go to Hell for their sins even though they never had the good news of the Gospel.But you have had it revealed to you.That doesnt put you in a good place when the day of reckoning comes
Matthew 7:7-8
New International Version
Ask, Seek, Knock
7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened
God promises to answer prayers.So do I ask Him for next weeks lotto numbers.No! Thats idolatory and putting God to the test.
But can I ask him to work in someone to save their soul?
Absolutley,I can
Sploom:
Robroy.
I’M NOT DONE WITH YOU YET !
I’m really getting worried now.
Last time somebody said that to me was when I was in my teens, I had managed to get fixed up with this stunning 30 year old who took full advantage of me and my youth, …and she said just that to me as I was trying to leave the next morning.
I’m sincerely hoping he hasn’t got the SAME plans for me as she had.

Thats me ■■■■■■ then - by the age of 12 I knew the New Testament off by heart - except revelations - first RE class in Grammar School I told the teacher she had it wrong - she checked and found I was right, so for the 1st year we stopped having Christian lessons.
2nd year they started again with a different teacher - who threw me out every lesson.
He once asked me: "I know your dad he is a good Christian, why are you so disruptive?? "
Me: “I have to put up with this ■■■■ 4 times on a Sunday, plus Thursdays & Fridays and grace at meal times, etc. etc. No way can I put up with any more.”
Sploom - a serious question.
Of all the different churches, sects and cults purporting to worship the same god, and all the different versions of the scriptures, what makes you so sure that your chosen branch of the church is the right one?
By the way, which one do you actually belong to?
I dont belong to any kind of cult or organised religion like baptists,jehovas or anglican .I class myself as fundamentalist because I just follow the word of God,not the word of man.If you look at alm these cults and religions,you find they added bits to the Bible and removed parts too.Jesus gave us everything we need,no need to add any morr
Of course,when these cults and religions do bad things,we fundamentalists get tarred with the same brush
Jesus never said we have to join a religous organisation.He gave us full instructions on how to live pleasing to God and how to be saved.All these cults and different branches of religion,they are all man made so it wont be an issue for me on judgement day whether I was in the correct religous sect or not.

Yeah but you are all much of a muchness, all ■■■■ in the same pot,.all are self righteous and intent of bringing everybody around you into the same ridiculous way of thinking, and the shallow restrictive stupid lives you lead, doing everything according to an ancient manuscript that belongs to ancient times.
Every other organisation of religious lunacy will say the same, that their way is the tight way and every other sect is wrong.
It would be amusing if it was not so ■■■■ tragic and downright dangerous to people.
