life is short? so do whatever u want? or praise God more?

Question

-some people say life is short, so let me do whatever i want to do, let me sleep with women, have fun, keep sinning.

-others says life is short, and because it's short i have to prepare for death, i have to do as much good deeds as i could. i have to keep away from sinning.

which side are you taking?

Answer 1

A nice mixture of both.

Answer 2

Do whatever you want, to a certain limit. I mean that in a way, don't go around murdering and raping people. Have fun, almost everything is a sin, if we were to play keep away from sinning, we would run into a wall of impossibilities. We cannot help but sin, we all do it, so why waste a perfectly good life trying not to, when you could be out having fun? You can still do good deeds either way.

Answer 3

I'm not yet taking but i've already taken and i am 101 % sure that i am to see my jesus in a few days.
See we have 2 choices :
1) HEAVEN where there is eternal life.
2) HELL where there is eternal torture(u'll b neither b able 2 live nor b able to die).
So according to ur 1st opinion doing whatever u want,sleeping with women,having fun,and keep sinning will lead u to hell.
Whereas ur 2nd opinion keeping away from sin,living a holy life,etc.... will lead u to heaven.
Now GOD has left the choice in ur hand.
GOD doesnt force u to choose heaven.
It's in ur hand whatever u choose.
So choose the best wisely that's all i can say.

Answer 4

A combination is actually best. It is best to do good things, not because of god or death, but because it is best for you, the people you love, and other people. A good life requires balance and moderation. There is a time to have fun and really let go, and there is a time to work hard and clean up.

Even if god exists, praising him/her/it is a waste of time - better to do good deeds, which any intelligent god would prefer over praise anyway.

Answer 5

I would like to err on the side of ETERNITY.

Frankly, you should do your best with what you are given, be good to yourself, be good to those around you, and not use people, hurt people or steal.

If you live an honest life, you will be rewarded on this earth and the next.

Living life like a GLUTTON guarantees you nothing. You do nothing for nobody and in the end you die alone anyhow.

I'd like to go knowing I made a difference and left the world in a better place than I found it, and if there is a happily ever after eternity out there, I probably earned a place there unknowingly too.

People who just think selfishly of themselves serve no person and will never know happiness.

Answer 6

There's another side. Life is short, so let me make the most of it without being unethical or engaging in immoral, antisocial behavior. Let me understand that I can be good without god, and that morality doesn't come from religion. If it did, then there wouldn't be religious people who do cruel things, and there wouldn't be non-believers who do good.

Let me care about my fellow human beings, since we are all we really have, and be remembered as having been a good person when I die.

That's the side I'm taking.

Answer 7

I use to walk path A for 28 yrs.....I "thought" I had it all...then I realized I actually had nothing but a seriously empty life that later filled up with hate (look around, you'll see many on here that are in the same boat).

I then was shown, personally by Jesus, and now I follow his word. My life is much richer, more filled and much more fulfilling.

To those that think money is riches or makes a man....they are still walking path A. For even a banker will tell you that knowledge is the truth riches.

Answer 8

I think that you can do good deeds and have fun and that you should prepare for death because you never know when you are going to die so might as well be sure about where you are going after you leave this world

Answer 9

Respectfully, you're off on the wrong foot.
Life is not short.
Life is forever.
We have two stages: particle and quantum.
Our particle stage produces time and space.
Our quantum state has no active frequencies
to spin about, and therefore remains out of
sight. Also, our quarks only record impressions
while in the particle stage.

My side is this: put the best impressions on
your "quarks" that you can. The impressions
we make today, will shape our tomorrow.

Answer 10

Since i accepted Jesus into my life,I know I will be in heaven.This is start of another journey because,Where you end up in heaven,will be determined by your faithfullness while on earth.At the moment,should i die today,I will only be on the fringe of the LIGHT,because even though I accepted Jesus as my LORD,I havent done a lot for him.I havent done anything illegal,but when i fall down(like looking at porn)I get back up(pray for forgiveness and strength)and continue the journey,always trying to do good things,think good thoughts to earn myself a piece of Real Estate thats closer to the LORD,who is the LIGHT.

Answer 11

Your answers are the difference between saved and unsaved people. Some fear and Love the Lord, while others care more about their selfish, fleshly desires on this short time on earth. Hmmm few short yrs here or eternity in heaven or hell --a no-brainer, one should think!!!
