But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was upon him,
and by his wounds we are healed. (Isaiah 53:4-5)

Quoting Bible verses to people who think the Bible is irrelevant isn't going to do anything.

True. Plus you have to be smoking something really serious if you think that quoting 3 random verses will convert anybody.

@mankind

Was this supposed to be a thread? I'm at a loss where you're coming from and where you are going. If you try this aproach in your church, you'll soon have to close the doors.

I was born in a Catholic family, I was serious part of it got several sacraments in the Church and "followed" most of the teachings. Later on at about 15 my Dad converted to an evangelical church, as a family we "followed" suit and again I was serious part of this. Later at about 20 moved to stay with my Aunt who wasnt part of any serious Church thingy but was (and is still) the most successful member of the family. She once confided in me that she believe God exist and believe in Him like she believed the sun would rise the next day. She told me she chose not to be an hypocrite going to Church for the sake of it, instead would close her bedroom door and pray without even her own kids knowing it! At about 25 exposed to diverse world listening to different world views and opinion I got confused. I had a Bible I never opened for 2 years. But I was having a lot of questions going on in my mind, searching the Internet, watching TV, listening to radio and reading any media that I could lay my hands on religion.
I know majority wins, though that doesnt mean they are right, there are so many Christians in the world most with a just cause. I'm convinced they are not wrong! after all I got several situations where I have genuinely called upon the name of God and He prevailed on me - no luck or coincidence. I BELIEVE IN GOD! I'd rather believe now and find out later that He doesnt exist I'll have nothing to loose than find out later that he existed and blew my chance with Him!
