Will you ridicule Pascal's Wager when you hear: "Depart from me ye cursed, into everlasting fire... Mat 25:41?

Question

Answer 1

all peoples who will not repent will be cast out. the sons of perdition will be cast out like miriam into outer darkness, or in her case out of the israelite camp.
no one who is not sanctified will enter the holy of holies. including jews, muslims and christians.
and remember this God rebuked Israel on many occasions for not being worthy of Israel. in fact, in one place God says the pagans worship God better than israel.

but yes unto those that say they are christians with their lips or say the name of the lord, They too will be cast out because their hearts are not true.
salvations come by faith and grace but free salvation only gets you in the door.

Answer 2

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal%27s_wager

'The Wager is described by Pascal in the Pensées this way:[2]

If there is a God, He is infinitely incomprehensible, since, having neither parts nor limits, He has no affinity to us. We are then incapable of knowing either what He is or if He is....

..."God is, or He is not." But to which side shall we incline? Reason can decide nothing here. There is an infinite chaos which separated us. A game is being played at the extremity of this infinite distance where heads or tails will turn up. What will you wager? According to reason, you can do neither the one thing nor the other; according to reason, you can defend neither of the propositions.

Do not, then, reprove for error those who have made a choice; for you know nothing about it. "No, but I blame them for having made, not this choice, but a choice; for again both he who chooses heads and he who chooses tails are equally at fault, they are both in the wrong. The true course is not to wager at all."'

Pascal is quite obviously an agnostic and by definition an atheist according to his own argument.

Answer 3

Well, I just heard it from you... and I still say that does not prove that Jesus made it past Heru to get to the Father, Ausar, in the first place. Jesus didn't how to get through Tuat, and didn't know the negative confessions, so chances he was devoured by Am-mit when his heart was weighed, if he made it that far at all.

You really should start researching Egyptian religion and memorize the negative confessions and the way through Tuat. If you know the way and what to say, and Tuat does exist, then you gain eternal life, if it doesn't exist, then you lose nothing. But... if Tuat exists and you don't know what to say or do, then you suffer the consequences eternally.

Answer 4

I hear it frequently from frothing-at-the-mouth fanatics like you.

If you had bothered to read the article in its entirety, you would have learned why Pascal's wager fails. That's the problem with fundies...they only read as much as will support their position and then stop. They don't bother to finish the research.

You are blinded by your fogma.

Answer 5

Will you ridicule the atheists wager ( http://www.philosophyofreligion.info/atheistswager.html ) when you hear "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven." Mathew 7:21 ?!?

Answer 6

Yep as soon as I am done ridiculing Mat 25:41

Answer 7

No I won't, Ben:

You see, I'll be inside the Holy City when Christ pronounces those condemning words to the wicked.

Thanks for reminding me that there are eternal rewards for the faithful

Answer 8

There are other religions that say similar things. You better start practicing all of these religions just to be safe (Pascal's Wager).

Answer 9

pascal's wager is proven as a logical fallacy and that the safe bet is to remain true to yourself and to refuse the christian god even if it means the possibility of hell

Answer 10

My answer to Pascal and all his blind followers is:

I would rather burn in hell than spend eternity with that vengeful, arrogant, hypocrite of a god depicted in the Bible.
