Answer 4

ugh.

no one wants to hear your ridiculous preaching, although it is amusing how much you christians believe in the lie. when you quote the bible, this is just a tip, it's like quoting dr. suess to "non-believers".

"If you believe in God and turn out to be incorrect, you have lost nothing -- but if you don't believe in God and turn out to be incorrect, you will go to hell. Therefore it is foolish to be an atheist."

This argument is known as Pascal's Wager. It has several flaws.

Firstly, it does not indicate which religion to follow. Indeed, there are many mutually exclusive and contradictory religions out there. This is often described as the "avoiding the wrong hell" problem. If a person is a follower of one religion, he may end up in another religion's version of hell.

Even if we assume that there's a God, that doesn't imply that there's one unique God. Which should we believe in? If we believe in all of them, how will we decide which commandments to follow?

Secondly, the statement that "If you believe in God and turn out to be incorrect, you have lost nothing" is not true. Suppose you're believing in the wrong God -- the true God might punish you for your foolishness. Consider also the deaths that have resulted from people rejecting medicine in favor of prayer.

Another flaw in the argument is that it is based on the assumption that the two possibilities are equally likely -- or at least, that they are of comparable likelihood. If, in fact, the possibility of there being a God is close to zero, the argument becomes much less persuasive. So sadly the argument is only likely to convince those who believe already.

Also, many feel that for intellectually honest people, belief is based on evidence, with some amount of intuition. It is not a matter of will or cost-benefit analysis.

Formally speaking, the argument consists of four statements:

One does not know whether God exists.
Not believing in God is bad for one's eternal soul if God does exist.
Believing in God is of no consequence if God does not exist.
Therefore it is in one's interest to believe in God.
There are two approaches to the argument. The first is to view Statement 1 as an assumption, and Statement 2 as a consequence of it. The problem is that there's really no way to arrive at Statement 2 from Statement 1 via simple logical inference. The statements just don't follow on from each other.

The alternative approach is to claim that Statements 1 and 2 are both assumptions. The problem with this is that Statement 2 is then basically an assumption which states the Christian position, and only a Christian will agree with that assumption. The argument thus collapses to "If you are a Christian, it is in your interests to believe in God" -- a rather vacuous tautology, and not the way Pascal intended the argument to be viewed.

Also, if we don't even know that God exists, why should we take Statement 2 over some similar assumption? Isn't it just as likely that God would be angry at people who chose to believe for personal gain? If God is omniscient, he will certainly know who really believes and who believes as a wager. He will spurn the latter... assuming he actually cares at all whether people truly believe in him.

Some have suggested that the person who chooses to believe based on Pascal's Wager, can then somehow make the transition to truly believing. Unfortunately, most atheists don't find it possible to make that leap.

In addition, this hypothetical God may require more than simple belief; almost all Christians believe that the Christian God requires an element of trust and obedience from his followers. That destroys the assertion that if you believe but are wrong, you lose nothing.

Finally, if this God is a fair and just God, surely he will judge people on their actions in life, not on whether they happen to believe in him. A God who sends good and kind people to hell is not one most atheists would be prepared to consider worshipping.

Answer 5

Everybody has "sinned" as you put it. Its impossible not to. No person on earth could live their life as it is expected in the bible. I see Christians themselves, more than anybody else, judging others,amongst other things. It happens daily on here,time after time.

If there was such a place as Heaven then nobody would get in. The place would be empty.

Answer 6

Hi.

I know the question very well. And I know that you desire to help people come to an assurance of eternal life found in Christ. But, from the perspective of someone who doesn't believe what you believe, I can hear them asking "how can anyone know for sure???" This assurance you speak of is by faith. It is what YOU BELIEVE, NOT what you absolutely know for certain. Please find comfort and encouragement in your faith. But, know that many will be thinking more concretely and probably not relate to what you're trying to say. Peace.

Answer 7

you don't want any answer her?!mine will be:

Does every man of them long to enter the Garden of Bliss?
(Allah) He Will admit to His Mercy whom He will; but the wrong-doers; for them has He prepared a grievous Penalty.
So i say No not sure even iam a good - (Has he penetrated to the Unseen, or has he taken a contract with (Allah) Most Gracious?
Dear oyes to this :And behold! Allah will say: "O Jesus the son of Mary! didst thou say unto men, 'Worship me and my mother as gods in derogation of Allah'?" He will say: "Glory to Thee! never could I say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, Thou wouldst indeed have known it. Thou knowest what is in my heart, though I know not what is in Thine. For Thou knowest in full all that is hidden.

Answer 8

I know for sure that I will go on to another physical life.

Nobody - not even a demigod - can buy your way into heaven or anywhere else, sorry.

Wisdom and goodness are things you have to learn (and earn) for yourself, when you're ready to take responsibility for your actions.

Answer 9

None of us go to heaven the instant we die. Our spirits will reside in a spirit world until our resurrection and then our judgment. Then, we will receive our ultimate mansion that God has prepared for us.

Answer 10

No one can ever be sure of this. I should not even dream about being sure because the minute I am sure, is the minute arrogance and false pride take over me.

I can only pray to Allah.
