Answering people who have false understanding of God & Christianity

Q: I know a gal who is all into the LGBT stuff and that is more important to her than Jesus. Despite the fact that I found something written by her years ago when she was 12 that was a declaration of her faith.

We were talking/texting on faith matters , and she replied:

"And that is why I am not a Christian. If my choices are 'I am a Supreme being who made you and knows everything about you but also all you are is wrong and you're going to hell because of it unless you become a perfect little automaton and do exactly what I say in this vague book that contradicts itself and was written by other humans,' then I guess I'm going to hell. Because dictating exactly how someone should live their life isn't love. That's megalomania."

A: She doesn't want God because she isn't Christian, was never genuinely saved; wasn't born again by God. She loves sin and is chained by it, trapped in it, and so she has no desire to live in righteousness. She likely didn't have Christian parents, or they were either weak in the faith, not living it out at home, or were negligent in raising/training her up in Christ, and wrongly left the Church to do that 52 days a year, which is a poor way to educate someone in Christianity/ biblical truths. These kinds of parents don't know theology or Scripture so they cannot even educate in basics, but also don't have conversations regularly nor daily Family Bible hour for home worship, this is the place for her to get answers. And from lacking that she gravitated to the doctrines of demons (flittering around in the cesspool of the internet & in public schools, and everywhere today) that are seeking people to devour such folk as her. They also decieve some into thinking they can be living in qwert sexual sins (and in that lifestyle/community) and be a "Christian" [aka lgbt churches]. She seems to not have fell for that form of idolatry and adultery towards God, but... I pray God will quickly guide her out of it and save her. But, Until she dies there is still hope. Many are getting understanding and conviction today & coming out of that cult, as we see in multiple many teatimonies, and she could be one too, one day soon. Keep her in prayer.

This also would be what I explain in a reply to her, including the resources:

I would correct her understanding of Love and specifically God's love, because she has no grasp of it

There's false gospels preached in churches or so called churches, and those who watered down the Gospel for easy believism; to get a quantity of pew sitters who tithe not genuine conversion. None of those should exist as it slanders true Christianity, but Scripture warns us of those false teachers & preachers, and that God will separate the weeds from the wheat and goats from the sheep on the last day. However, those who die in their sins find out in an instant when entering deaths door and finding themselves in Hell, that they went the wrong way and will be in torment forever, there is no hope in Hell. The offer of Salvation was while they were alive, but for those alive, they can simply obey the Gospel and go follow Jesus. Those born again by God are saved, and once saved - it's eternal. 

Many embraced a false faith and that lead to idolatry [making up beliefs one prefers]. This is typical of children & teens in churches, who usually want Heaven without the cost & change, or see others getting baptized and sinfully want special attentikn too, or those who started to recieve truth,like the soil parable, have no one to further educate them in the Gospel and Scripture [and deeper on these subjects). This they fall away quickly, or run towards sin since they're still unregenerate sinners. 

People tend to gravitate towards wgat fancies them. For the unsaved it's embracing false info they heard somewhere [or today, on tock tok] because it suits their sins. They further think they can sit above God in judgment over him, bu holding such beliefs (as the gal above). They don't know God or enough about Him; he gave us Scripture and pastors and teachers in church who can further guide and answer their questions but those of the darkness flee to the dark corners so they'll avoid going to a church to get answers. It sounds like while 12 she had some guidance but there was sin or some thing or preferable sins that led her away and astray. Add in that at her 12 years old there wasn't the qwert sex cult permeating everywhere (from scholl to college to everywhere on tv, nees, and entertainment) and even embraced the Satanic love is love mantra. Further, they don't understand our identity. Both in whose image we were made in [and all that entails], and who we were (Adam & Eve were perfect), the Fall brought sin, people them gravitate to a sin or multiple ones they prefer and grow in list towards. Whether thats alcoholism, adultery or Fornication and related sexusl sins; today there are myriad of options in that. She embraced one. 

God is innocent in all of this. In fact He even went to extreme cost and great lengths, to redeem and restore us from sin and it's curse, and judgment that comes after death. Jesus is the Redeemer offered. If we repent & turn to Him then we are made new. We have new and right desires, and hate & kill and conquer any sin we find in our life; with several doa at salvation. 

Death is required for those who sin. The wages of sin is death Rom 3:23 tells us. We earn our wages, what's due to us for our sins. And after death is judgment, Heb. 9:27 tells us. Further Scripture says not only does those who die in their sins go to eternal Hell but false converts [who are unsaved] go there too. He will tell them He never knew them. There are church goers, pew sitters, and idolatrous moralists in the church but they are not the Church; not of the church and not the Bride. The foolishness virgins parable warns over this, as does Scripture saying examine ourselves and ensure we are saved. There is fruit proof of those saved and those also have Perseverance in the Faith till death. Bad fruit and falling away shows they were arent saved, were never saved. 

For sin, Man's bloodshed is required, meaning Death, but also only a Perfect human could provide that sacrifice to free us. We cannot pay it ourselves as sinners; we are already unqualified to pay the debt owed, and it's a very gigantic one. People not having a solid grasp on the extreme wickedness of sin, the perfect Holiness of God [along with his other attributes in perfection] and their assumption they're good people who deserve to go to a good place after death, and be blessed for a good life here without problems shows they understand nothing. God has to reveal this to them. Many churches fail to teach this and false churches and false religions masqurading as Christian also further decieve with doctrines of demons, and assists to drag people to Hell. 

So as stated what we need to know and recieve is that God paid the cost in our place, dying. The God Man Jesus took upon himself all the sins [of every believer there would ever be], and God the Father poured his wrath out on him, to pay our sin debt in full, and when he died & resurrected it showed the debt was paid and the work finished, and God accepted it. Being innocent of sin, as our substitutions sacrificial Lamb, the proposition for us, once we turn to Christ for salvatuon in obeying the Gospel, His blood covers us, his righteousness covers us, we put on the Lord Jesus just as we see in the sacrifice in Eden showed what the coming Messiah would do, as shown also in the sacrifices in Israel, the very serious requirement for our salvation... has been dealt with once for all time on the Cross by Jesus. As also seen in imagery in OT of the kinsman Redeemer. Jesus is the fulfillment of all the Scripture has been teaching since day one. The one who would take away the sins of humans who was promised since Eden, has completed that work. We need to gratefully run to His feet to recieve this salvation. It is a free offer, and comes with what the rest of Romans 3:23 says the free gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord.

God simply planned and worked out all things for our Salvation; of which we are infinitely ill deserving of. He offers us humans what we don't deserve and doesn't give use who obey the Gospel what we do deserve.

Also, The Scriptures are not vague at all and have no contradictions. There are some difficult areas but Scripture addresses that elsewhere and in holy principle or teaching within Scripture. There is way more information Scripture than you realize, and should read it cover to cover. 

People don't look into all these things, and that's because those in their sin nature have no desire to. This is why all we can do is give them the Gospel. Until God draws them and saves them - they won't understand or recieve any other truths. Remember Jesus said if I tell you of earthly things and you don't understand, how will you understand if I tell you of heavenly things.

We were designed perfect, to live in holiness reflecting the communicable attributes of our God. We have His Law [moral perfection] written on our hearts, and a conscience that bears witness. We know right from wrong. We are to live out life in holy desires to lovingly obey our Creator, and can do so "much more" knowing what He did for us after the Fall, in Christ. Having new and right desires, we believers love and serve God [out of loving desires to]. We do the works he long ago planned for us, and it blesses and loves others in us doing so. In addition God uses our personalities, [we have personalities], but we don't live in and sin 247 365 as the unsaved do. Their desires are sinful and only evil continually even their thoughts and actions, as Scripture truthfully says. So no... we aren't robots. He made each of us and wants to love watching us live as his children, fellowship with us, and love us - with a true love - as only our perfect Father could. 🥰

What you need to do is -

Obey the Gospel, be restored to who you are supposed to be, and live blessed by God now and for eternity. 

Note: The Gospel sets us free, Jesus sets us free. Free from what? 

After you turn to Christ, as a Christian...you will desire to read the Bible, read it daily, get to know God more and more, understand what God reveals for holy living and pursue it, as you follow Christ and become more like Him. Join a local Bible focused church and be active in that community; it's as close to Heaven as we will get here, and it's where our brethren in the family of God are, so we need to spend our time there and in worship and service to God and blessing fellow believers. Meet the pastor, and get baptized [to show what happened at salvation; you died to sin and self/died in Christ and were raised to new life/were raised in Christ]. 

God bless ✝️
