if you don't believe Jesus and His promise of salvation is available to anybody for the asking (John 3:16), then you're not worth listening to.John 3:16 doesn't say "Jesus is available to anybody", it is a statement on Particular Atonement. Apparently you don't even listen to the Bible.
The American Religion is based on sheer fraud, that man somehow cares to listen to and then "choose Jesus".
- The American Religion says that natural man can believe: The Bible says that natural can't believe (1 Cor 2:14; John 10:26)
- The American Religion says that natural man can look for God. The Bible says that the natural man never looks for God. (Romans 3:11)
- The American Religion says that natural man can love God. The Bible says that natural man hates God (Romans 8:7)
- The American Religion says that natural man can use his own free will to choose God. The Bible says that man cannot choose salvation .(John 1:12-13)
- The American Religion says that man can trust his "free will decision". The Bible says that your "free will decision" is corrupt and of hell. (Jeremiah 17:9)
The American Religion is a false religion that has a false god, a false doctrine and a false gospel. The American Religion treats John 3:16 the same way Satan treated Genesis 2:16-17
I submit if for every day that a person spent wearing their WWJD bracelet they instead read the Bible for an hour, they would cast aside the junk realizing that WWJD is nothing more than man redefining god into man's own image.
WWJD, simply put is where man puts away his Bible and says "I don't need to obey Romans 12:12, nor 1 Thessalonians 5:17, nor Colossians 1:9; 4:2; Phillipians 4:6 and many other passages, I can wear this talisman and look kewl and rely on my own wisdom.") It is of the same origin from hell that ends up being "Every man did what was right in his own eyes.".
This is why the American Religion embraces it.

The real reason the youngins like WWJD stuff.

I guess you don't bother listening to what other people have to say. I said you've been making erroneous assumptions about who and what I am, and yet you continue.
But if, based on your post to somebody else, it's the pre-destination vs. free will debate that is driving your train, it's no wonder...
There is one thing that is certain, though. Whether I am saved or not due to predestination or my own free-will, whether my ultimate destination is in my hands and God's, mine alone or God's alone, there are still only two entities that could possibly decide my fate; and YOU aren't one of the two.
Since you keep going on about this "American Religion" thing, why don't you share with us your own denomination? I'm sure you'll tell me you're a Christian (as if the rest of us aren't), but what denomination are you, and what seminary did you attend? Or is that private information?

For the record, I neither embrace nor reject the WWJD phenomenon.
