would you spend the rest of your life in prision if you were assured i would spend eternity in heaven. jesus allegedly died for you, would you do that for me. no answers like " jesus died for you too" just answer the question as it was asked. do you make that sacrifice for me as a fellow human being or not.

Pick me.... pick me!
I'll go to prison anytime for you. There's some real action in prison. I should know, I've been there 3 times for L&L charges. I want to be some big hairy dude's GF again. It's fun and I feel so safe. I'd just be dropping the soap in the shower all the time, hoping to get lucky with some big stud.

Of course. And I'm not a 'christian'. I exist in a state of spirituality that completely transcends 'religion'. Religion is like spiritual boot camp. It very rigorously teaches you what is 'right' and 'wrong'. it's like a road that leads to the house of your spirit. Once you find it, there is no seperation between you and god. you don't need a religion to tell you whats right or wrong. doing the wrong thing isn't even an option. It's the ultimate state of responsibility to yourself and the world around you. If you look at every religious movement in history, and you look at the basic principles they were founded on, (not the dogmatic doctrines they have evolved into), you will find that they all carry the same message from culturally different standpoints. Be the best person you can be, and take care of others as you would take care of yourelf. be responsible for the world you live in. I'd say that's pretty basic stuff. However, EVERY religion in existence is so wrapped up in being 'right' as opposed to being 'wrong' that they can't get past a difference in semantics. When a christian talks about 'god' and a buddhist talks about 'buddha' the idea in their head is basically the same. so the way that they experience it and explain it is different. so what? Are they both trying to do the best that they think they can? Why not let that be enough.

No. I would not! This is the matter that you need to take to your own hands. This is the decision you need to make before you die. There is nothing I can do to save you if you do not accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Jesus is the way and the truth and the life. So forth I would waste my time in prison.
Funny thing that you would take this gift from me and send me to the prison for rest of my life, but you do not accept it from Jesus. He already gave the sacrifice. Only Jesus can save you, do not make mistake about it.

The question doesn't make sense. How is me spending my life in prison so you can go to heaven like Jesus dying on the cross to save everyone? The latter is a matter of faith; the former is just stupid.
The question "as it was asked" is nonsensical. And I'm not even a good Christian--heck, I'm not even a Christian.

No, because it has already been done. No need to do it twice. If your saying it hasn't been already done, would it jeopardize my eternity in heaven for yours because I would have to get to prison some how. If it doesn't jeopardize my eternal salvation than sure, I would hope that by doing that more than just one person would get to go. Say by not being in prison I'm able to teach thousands of people how to gain eternal life in heaven would it be worth it than just for you rather then the thousands. Jesus did it for all mankind.

i know i should say prison.there are a lot of things i would sacrifice to help a soul. but being in prison would keep me from reaching other souls. sounds like an excuse but i really am trying to reach my family and friends too. my daughter most importantly. i just saw end of the spear.that dude gave his life.

And what would you be doing during this time I spend in prison for you? Would you keep on sinning or will you turn from your old ways and give your life to Jesus? The thing is, everybody is responsible for themselves. I cannot atone for your sins.

Paul says, I would like to depart this body of death and be with the Lord, which is far better, But if I stay here in the flesh, it will mean fruitfull labor! But convinced that it will do YOU some good , I will remain a little longer!

Jesus said, the true form of love is when you give up your life for another. Honestly, I am not sure that I could do that for you, but, it would be a biblical truism, and you would really need to think about what I did for you/

There is no way my being in prison would secure your salvation. Only your personal faith in Jesus can do that. So this question cannot have a yes or no answer.
