I said the same applies with God; all the good you do won’t undo the fact that you have a criminal record that the perfect, just judge of the universe will hold you accountable for. There is only one way to remove your hell punishment. He said “”Please tell me how!”
"Does God love transgender people?". This confirmed my earlier uneasiness. I said "Yes, as much as He loves liars, thieves and blasphemers. So much so, that He offers to take their hell punishment for them. And where do they go if they accept the gift?" "Heaven!", she answered.
He told me he believed in justice, but was deep into reincarnation and his good works, which is a self-defeating strawman argument. Unfortunately, he wasn't mature enough to see the folly of this.
I asked if he will make it to heaven. He said yes because Jesus has saved him, and he doesn't sin anymore (!) The last person I heard saying this was the heretical Joyce Meyer.
I gave him the good news of Christ taking his hell punishment for him. He agreed that unless he placed his faith in Him, he would go to hell. But him making the step of accepting God's gift was beyond him.
How many times did Jesus need to die on the cross for you? Exactly - one! That would mean a tremendous saving power would be needed to save every sin of every person who comes to God! And that’s exactly what happened..
"...he said "You don't have to explain it again, I know what I have to do. I'm nearly there. I will do this before I go to sleep tonight"
It sounded like he could have done drugs, so maybe that was what he was not willing to give up. I gave him Bible, church, and social links. He promised to read the Bible, so I pray that he does, and it changes his life!
When the chat opened, the main kid opened with a string of colourful language that he should never have know at his age. But he was a smart kid, and Zack did brilliantly leading him through the law and Gospel.
I took him through the law, and it revealed how bad he really was. After this, he didn’t think he could ever make it to heaven. Using Easter, I managed to show him how Christ took his hell punishment for him. He came to understand that he had to accept this as a gift in order to go to heaven.
