Simple question for christians; What if your wrong?

Question

This is a pretty easy question to answer. If im wrong I will be sent to hell for disbelieving in God according to christianity. So what happens if your wrong? Please dont dodge the question and say God exists, im just wondering if christians ever thought of the possibility of being wrong.

Answer 1

I'd rather live life believing in God and find out I'm right than to live as if there is no God and find out that I'm wrong.

Answer 2

I remember a time when I was on that path to denying the existence of God. It was a time that was fraught with insanity, darkness, and depression to the point I wanted to commit suicide.

Then some good friends found me an shared with me that there really was a God. I could feel that sincerity flowing from their hearts as they shared their friendship, love, and concern.

Because of these things, I know that God and His Son, Jesus Christ is real. I can feel their love and concern whenever I want to now, rather than go back to that place of madness and insanity known as atheism.

Whenever I read about a news story where some crazed guy goes nuts and starts shooting people, many times I find out that the shooter in question had traits that I used to embrace so long ago, but have abandoned ever since accepting God and His Son Jesus Christ in my life.

So, this is my response to you. We Christians could be wrong, but what do our fruits produce? Do these fruits really produce evil, or do they attract the attention of evil doers wanting to take advantage of or destroy us?

If there is no God -- my body's thought and biological processes will cease to work and that will be the end of me.

If Judaism/Islam is correct -- I will most likely go to hell.

Most other religions -- I will either reincarnate and be given another chance, or the afterlife is not based on our actions in this life, or the afterlife is not defined and I will merge with the other energies of the universe.

Basically, this is a question we all have to ask ourselves. But you can't follow every religion just because "its better to be safe than sorry". Eventually, you have to choose the faith that feels right for you. We can't have any definitive knowledge of what happens when this life ends -- so I'm just going to be the best person I can and find out eventually if I was right.

Answer 4

Recently I had a loved one die a horrible death. You better believe I questioned God - how could He allow suffering? and other such questions. It made me even question my faith and ask myself the same question you are asking, "What if I'm wrong? What if the Bible is a complete lie?" (Honestly, if a Christian hasn't asked himself this question before then he hasn't gone through a difficult enough period in his life.) But then I remembered my life in the past and saw all the things God has done for me, for others, what He's done as the Creator and Sustainer. And (slowly) I'm realizing that I'm not wrong, that God is who He says He is in the Bible. It's been a long struggle but just by going through it He's shown me that He is the Path and that He will bring me through.

Answer 5

If I am wrong and God does not exist, then I will have lived a good life, been a good friend, husband, father, brother, and son. I've helped children in Africa, Mexico, and India with food and medical supplies. I've supported my friends, forgiven my enemies, and given my life and money to help people. I've taught my children right from wrong and encouraged them to be good human beings with morals and judgement that is at a higher standard. I've taught my sons to be men, love their wives and children, put their needs before his own. I've taught my daughters to be strong wives and mothers with self-esteem, and self respect. And if I die and there is no God, then I will still have lived a good life and left a legacy of honor to my children. I've thought about it, long before you asked the question. But, I look forward to the day when I will meet God and say, I tried my best to do it your way and thanks for all the help along the way.

Answer 6

If I'm wrong, then I still will have gotten something out of faith. Hope can help you to be strong through hard times, and the Christian community can be quite supportive of each other. But outside of that, if I'm wrong, then any number of things can happen after death. It could be nothing, reincarnation, limbo, it's really pretty up in the air what could happen.

Answer 7

As a Christian I say particular. A is B's brother and B is A's brother. Christians could use logic to appreciate those issues between different issues. Oops, he's real B must be the two female or boy!!

Answer 8

Christians are never wrong because we have God on our side telling us all the right things. And if He isn't there when we die, we still win because we got to push all the heathens, pagans, and non-believers around all our lives and made the world treat us like we're special and better than others even if we happened to be back-stabbing sinners and immoral criminals. Ha ha! Bless you all. Praise the Lord. Halleluyah!

Answer 9

If I am wrong, nothing happens when I die. I just go to sleep forever; my existance ends. I stop being, and the world spins on without me.

If you are wrong, you go to hell where your spirit-consciousness lives in eternal pain, and I join God in heaven.

Sorry, but that's the logical end of things.

Answer 10

Just to clear things up, our faith does not prohibit us from investigating alternatives.

"Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true." -Acts 17:11
