Would you do evil to get into Heaven, or would you continue to do good deeds, knowing that you'd spend eternity in Hell? In other words, if the rewards and punishments were switched, would you change your behavior to match, or would you continue being who you are? (And please, don't try to weasel out of answering by saying, "But God would never do that..."; just answer the question or not!)

Actually, I already feel like he has, and I'm happy to go to Hell.
If "good" is being hateful to gays and "evil" is actively working towards their acceptance in society, then I'm proud to be as evil as possible. :)
Edit: Hehehe, I'm AMAZED that you specifically asked people to not say "God wouldn't do that..." and they still are doing it. It was almost prophetic of you.

What makes you think that 'if' is right proposition. If God makes every one to do evil, unless you and I are strong, how would we survive let alone alive to making the proposition 'if'.Let play along. I think we are all inclined to do evil and if we are asked to do evil for heaven. The answer is obvious. So would you be one to do for the sake of heaven if doing good is out of question. Maybe, if that is possible, the world will be at peace. The conflict is always between good and evil. In this case, your proposition if for world peace, I think it will work 'if'.

I would not change my life at all. As far as I'm concerned this "god" has already done such a thing. I personally do not believe in any god, yet I still continue to help people and live a moral life. I dont' drink, do drugs, cheat, lie, steal, kill, or any of those other things considered evil.

i hit upon it exciting that each of the argument is in accordance to what Christians say. Why position self belief in third social gathering options the position there's no assure of accuracy or authenticity? Why no longer go accurate to the source? for sure that could require you learn the Bible for your self. and also you are able to come across that the appliance of independent good judgment and reason yields the reality. a minimum of i desire you would possibly want to locate it. it really is what I did. i got here upon God is neither arbitrary nor capricious. He has a objective for all issues and is going to extremes to be sure we understand His message properly. the concern at present is maximum folk do not comprehend the thanks to envision, the thanks to inspect and maximum significantly, the thanks to keep their own prejudices at bay. as an celebration 40% of the Bible's content is prophecy, yet prophecy isn't taught in any bIble colleges or seminaries. So we've the blind most appropriate the blind even although Jesus admonished us to pay interest on the indications of the cases and be waiting for what's to come back. Prophecy is a good device. it truly is God authenticating Himself to a international of unbelievers. understanding that God did what He stated He might want to do contained in the previous supplies me the religion to believe he will do what He says he will do contained in the destiny. There, i have utilized reason and good judgment. you may do an identical.

doing good or evil is a choice that we can make and has nothing to do with God. As for that matter, neither does heaven or hell.

Well God told Abraham to kill his only son, sounds like a sin to me, but it was only a test. God also told the Jewish people to kill a lot of people you need to read the Old Testament. Was it a sin? not if God told them to do that.. but that was the Old Testament and things changed a lot when Jesus walked the earth.

Well, for what it's worth, I would assume that if God, being good and all perfect, told me to do something that YOU would consider wrong, then yes, I would do it because in His view, it wouldn't really be wrong. It would only be wrong in your eyesight. Besides, how could God give us that type of choice anyhow?
God would never do that....

OK, no weaseling. I would obey God.
But the fact is that He did not say such a thing, nor would it be in keeping with His character to say it.

Well, if you belive that god is the ultimate "rule" maker shouldn't you follow what he says? Isn't that why religous people follow the bible anyway. Because god told them too. So, i would think if you were a "true" christian you would follow whatever he said. What do youthink?
