yeah, yeah, I know..it is not you who condemns me to Hell, it is God. Well, he hasn't told me that, only you have. And I don't give a crap what Bible verses you spout at me. The Bible does not prove anything to me.
Here’s the problem with your approach, LnF; yours and many other Christians. You cite the Bible as evidence of what you believe, but that only works if you’re having a discussion with someone who believes in the Bible. Also, Wylie is more a rational person than he is emotional. Citing the Bible is typically an emotionally appeal. You are hoping that telling people they will go to hell will jostle them enough emotionally to win them over to Christ. With rational people, you are better suited bringing something tangible that can be physically witnessed and directly linked to the power of Jesus to achieve your goal.
Also, the “fire and brimstone” approach has been a historic failure in your mission. People are much quicker to respond positively to a positive message than they are to a fear tactic.
