Historic and still accurate Terms  There are many false religions and cults, and the woke,  out there distorting the definitions of words today. Here are the meanings of words which you will hear Christians saying when talking about Christianity and Biblical things, few things will be in "Christianese" language.   Hell & Heaven  When Christians speak about eternal  Hell  they mean, broadly, “place of conscious torment & wrath after death.” We realize that hell is technically different from the lake of fire, but we simply use Hell to mean both (because Hell is thrown into the lake of fire on Judgement Day).  Abraham's Boosam, Paradise and Heaven, and the (eternal) New Heaven and New Earth are also generally referenced by Christians as  Heaven .  They are different places for different purposes and either lead to eternal life or eternal damnation.  There is the Human realm and the place of the dead.  Grace 

Do Christians share the Gospel of God to help us escape Hell, is it about righteousness, or both? Or more? Primarily it is about the desire to have and live in righteousness.  Ultimately, it is to have a restored standing with God; to live as we were designed to.   Yes there is an aspect of avoiding Hell and Judgment as Scripture says. Note:  even if He didn't save any of us, as our Creator and God we should worship, revear & properly fear him, and obey... regardless.  Christians know Judgment is coming. This world is going down in flames (like the titanic), the redeemed ones are directing people into the lifeboats (Jesus); just as God directed Noah into the Ark, Christians are directing people into the boat of salvation where righteousness is. Salvation isnt ultimately about escaping Hell, it is about desiring righteousness, having the righteousness of Christ  [which also does cover & shelters you from Judgment & punishment of your sins], and ...

I've gathered a decent amount of info on the shirt guy, it appears he is in a false Christian sect or cult.  Things i noticed : - Thought I read in orig post that he thinks he is an "Apostle". Anyone who says that is lying. (There are no apostles anymore, there were only 12. The requirement was to have been a physical disciple of Jesus during Jesus time on earth.)  - People in these false Christian groups, (charismatics included), are typically unlearned in Scripture, overly vocal and pushy.   - He said hes in USA "cuz God told him to". Thats lie #2. God doesnt audibly or in our brains "talk to us" Christians. (He speaks only thru the Bible).  I've encountered folks like this, so its not far fetched that there were problems and he was asked to leave. People like that give a bad name to true Christianity. (* notice there are not false groups among other religions, thats because Satan only attacks the true faith).    In general tho, if people ...

Guy harrassed by mall security  Guy wears Jesus shirt and people complained and security started attacking him.  Things to note: What was the issue? Was it about the shirt? Was he just walking around? A. If just walking 🤷‍♀️ he's wearing clothes like anyone else, its free speech.  His shirt is not promoting a music group or celeb that someone "worships", or one with cussing, drugs, weed, rappers faces, sleezy girls on cars, blm, pride & gay shirts "preaching" lgbt, "cults" (Jehovah Witnesses & Mormons) in their 2 year missionary clothes, or muslim full body covering head to toe, etc. His happens to be one that is representative of his life and faith in Christ. Who cares if it "soft" preaches Jesus, to start convos. Christians are commanded to "Go and preach the gospel to the world", so he is. And in an interview he said he wears this/similar shirts even to work. A shirt in public gets people thinking about God, ...

The patience of God God's Judgment is delayed by his good patience and kindness even tho we are all wicked sinners who deserve immediate death sentence. Humans get angry at being disrespected, or sinned against, others doing something wrong to them or saying something wrong. But God is otherly, and Scripture says He is patient. Sin will be dealt with, but he delays judgment to give humans time to repent. Otherwise he would kill us the first time we sinned. But God's patience will run out And it doesnt mean he will delay it until you are 100 and die.

It is important to thouroughly investigate.  Both through reading the Bible, and examining history, archeology and non biblical evidences. The links here and contained within will help you do a solid investigation.  A question typically arises at this point, & is good to answer. "Do i need to know everything before coming to faith, or just reasonable evidence?" The answer is reasonable evidence. Even believers spend their entire lives learning more about what God has revealed to us in the Bible. You will come to understand that more as you investigate. But one tging you must do is stay openminded, and... if the evidence points to Jesus - put your trust in Him.  “You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart."

Atheists: Dont scare kids about Hell Christian:  This kind of rhetoric is trying to gaslight the public into thinking that you shouldn't teach your kids to believe what you believe is peak nonsense. Telling children about danger doesn't traumatize them. Letting them get blindsided does. If OP thinks hell doesn't exist, then they ought to say so and have that conversation, but if hell does exist, only a monster wouldn't warn people. That said, I have little patience for people who deliberately who dont understand what theyre takking about, and try to decieved people with garbly goop views. I mean hell is an age appropriate conversation for a bit older kids. Idk if we should be focused on it for young kids though. It can be very traumatizing. Much of the Bible is not child appropriate. But they do learn not to touch a hot stove. Not having some kind of focus or understanding of it is reasons why... 1. They possibly grow up and leave with a 6 year olds pe...

Is Maccabees Scripture? What about prayers for the dead? Macabees book  The books of Maccabees were Jewish writings on the history of the Maccabees persecution and revolt, but it wasnt written at the time of the events, nor the end of the events, 🤔 very odd. It was written later, over 200 yrs later in 1st century, and... the Apostles also did not mention this book. Therefore, it is not Scripture but just a bit of history as the Jews recorded to preserve and celebrate over the success of the rebellion. Which also means it was not inspired , and so of course it is full of sinful things humans do. None of it was commanded by God nor directed by Him, nor things they did, such as prayers to the dead  approved by him. Israel was an apostate religion, they were doing all kinds of unbiblical things. Jesus called them out on it. Macabees tells the story of persecution of the Jews under Ptolemy IV Philopator (222–205 BC) prior to the Maccabean uprising.  And again of Je...
