Hey Pixie! How long you been this upset? Don't let Oprah deceive you with her many ways to Heaven; there's only one way according to the "book of fairy tales" and that's what I'm speaking about.
2A said it very well: "no one was ever argued into believing". I'm not forcing anyone into believing but I will present the truth passionately my dear lady because it IS a matter of life & death.
Of course I'm not Jesus; never was, never will be but He did leave me (and others) here to speak the good news until He gets back. He even told me that I will do more things than He did. John 14 v12.
Matthew 16 v19 and 18 v18-19 gives me the right to "declare" whether someone has the right path to Heaven or not. This also means that we can say, with godly authority, the condition of a person's heart by what they believe.
So, let's "talk from your heart".
Tell me, what is your faith based on if not the "book of fairy tales"??
Explain to me (please), in a detailed description, who your God is, when you became saved and how you'll get to Heaven. I'm being very serious here. I'm not saying anything against what you believe (at this point) so be honest. What concerns me is that you said: "not some book of half fairy tales and years of what God's other followers have shoved down my throat".
This is what I'd ask anyone who claims to "absolutely believe in God and have plenty of faith".
Matthew 7 v21-23.
