You: hi
Stranger: hi
You: Do you think you're a good person?
Stranger: well sorta to people at least but i dont think i make any great contributions or anything
Stranger: i just dont act mean
You: So, if you died, where do you think you would go, heaven or hell? (Let's assume they exist)
Stranger: hell
You: Why?
Stranger: because im nice to people i know
Stranger: but when i t comes to other things im not
Stranger: such as i i somtimes have taken things from stores
Stranger: and i hop the train
You: So you haven't kept say the Ten Commandments?
Stranger: are asking if i follow them?
You: Asking if you've broken them.
Stranger: ofcourse ive broken them and im pretty sure every one in the world has broken them
You: I agree.
You: The Ten Commandments are God's Law. And if His law is broken, there is punishment. You've already said you've broken them, and that you feel you're going to hell. Does that concern you at all?
Stranger: well not exactly im in that stage were im not sure if any of that is real im in between deciding between any religion or atheism i think its called agnostic or somthing..
You: Right. Agnostic.
You: But as an agnostic, you entertain the idea that God might be real. That the Bible is true. You're seeking God while at the same time, running from Him.
Stranger: well im not seeking him but im not sure if hes real or not cause there arnt really any explinations
Stranger: its like im just waiting for somthing to happen
You: I have broken every commandment of the Ten. I've lied, stolen, blasphemed, murdered, commited adultery, envied, dishonored my parents, forgot the sabbath, had idols, and I've not loved God first and foremost.
Stranger: well everythingg else in my eyes is fine except murder
You: In the eyes of God, none of those things are fine.
Stranger: unless it was slef defence its alright
Stranger: if it was i mean
You: But, you said you're waiting to see if God reveals Himself to you. but I tell you, for those who seek, shall find.
Stranger: well im gonna seek and i really dont want to if he truly exist and loves every one of his people he shall seek me
Stranger: im not*
You: Oh He is seeking you. Have you ever heard of heart's door?
Stranger: no
You: It's basically a metaphore speaking the Truth that God as at your heart's door, knocking.
You: But the thing about this is,
You: He can't open the door.
You: You have to be the one opening that door to allow Him entrance.
You: God is a gentlemen. If He knocks, and you tell Him to go away, He will. He may come back later on and knock, but after so many times in your life of you telling Him to go away, He will.
You: God is seeking you. It says in the Bible that a sherpherd will leave His entire flock to find the lost sheep.
You: You, to God, are the lost sheep.
You: This conversation right now, stranger, is a knock on your door.
Stranger: well if im the lost sheep he should come and if he truly wants me he should try even harder becuase if i did beleive in him would you still be the knock on my door?
You: If you weren't right with God, and yet you still believed in Him, then yes, this would be, and is, your knock.
You: As I said, God is a gentlemen. He does want you very badly. He allowed His Son to die on the cross, He allowed His Son to take your punishment, the breaking of the Law, upon Himself, so that you wouldn't have to. If that is not God trying hard enough, then I don't know what is.
You: Do you know what I'm referring to when I mention God's Son?
Stranger: jesus if im not mistaken
You: You are correct. Do you know who Jesus is and what He did?
Stranger: i know who he is and know a bit about him
Sadly, it was at this point that the stranger disconnected our conversation.
