About God, disbelief and turning Pasteur's wager upside-down

Howdo yo! DawGwath. Your questions are simple and can be answer in one common denominator with those kind of questions you have. No one can answer that. No one are positioned above or leveled with God. God is the God, He is the only One can have the all final judgements to all of us. No one can preempt nor prejudge all what God's plans to each and everyone of us all. We are all just a part of God. God can do anything whatever He wanted to be. Don't read the Bible with a wicked heart and only glorifying the sinfulness of humanity. Thus, you will always forever in your life being find only glorifying the sinfulness of Satan's works and only the wicked part of the Bible. The Bible represents the whole being of us. We are all the doers of the Bible, Christians or not Christians, even those who did not yet read the Bible. Our whole being are mixtures of the seeds of God's spiritual being and Satan's seeds of spiritual being sinfulness. Which ever seeds we are nourishing and glorifying in our spirits are what we are enduring and experiencing on our being here on this world. On both of our spiritual and physical life embodiments manifestations. Always dig deeper the golden treasures and not just only full of worms in your heart, mind, body, soul and spirit.

Brilliant! I am not Christian so I can't answer you about that religion. To me, being a Jew, I Still don't think a person Has to believe in G-d to be moral. I think not killing or raping anyone, nor stealing, nor lying in court are the main no-nos. Anyone can avoid these And avoid All the religions too.

I don't believe in established religion. I think you would not be sent to hell. I dont think you would be excepted in Heaven to begin with because it is manufactored by the masses. All the writers of the Bible that is. (and what of all the books that weren't excepted into the Bible?) In answer to #2 again, you would never make it there. And, finally in #3 God didn't give us reason and free will. Some people don't have it. They follow the suthsayers and the big wigs in the churchs around like cattle. They just give it unto GOd and let him sort it out. What a bunch of hooey!! People today are unable to reason and do not have free will except for thinking that keeping up with the Jones' and all is the way to go. Let God do it all. Don't take any enitiative and think and govern ourselves. Heck no! Give it unto God! So sick of all that!

I was a moslems, so I will give my opinion from my religion. If You have a pet or what ever that You have make for You own goodness, but the fact was not like what You have imagined.What will You do?? If You can answered that, no need for me to explained more deeper.

Jesus himself said that you have to know the laws better then the prophets meaning that you need to follow all of the old testament laws which are over 600 and a lot of them deal with animal sacrifice and what not. Also you need to love god, love your family but then again hate your family and follow jesus. you also need to sell everything you have and give the money to the poor. so yeah you are going to hell in that hypothetical case. if you don't follow either one of these rules you're going to hell and god is kinda mean and really doesn't seem to care about humans

I like your posting, but what is Pasteur's wager? Did he bet that he could find a cure for hydrophobia? I believe you mean Pascal.

1. Since the Bible makes it clear that God does exist and that no one comes to Him except through His Son, Jesus Christ, our good deeds won't save us. If you have read the Bible, which is the inspired word of God, what excuse can you offer for rejecting Him? 2. It's not just believing in God that saves a person. James 2:19 "You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that - and shudder." Acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior is what saves us. 3. Why should God be happy to be rejected? On a multiple choice test, you have the freedom to chose any answer you please, but you still get points off for making the wrong choice.

1. If you have read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation and have rejected God's gift of salvation and eternal life through His son Jesus the Christ, it will be you who has chosen your fate, not God. 2. Just believing there is a God isn't going to save you. The devils believe and tremble. 3. What can be known about God is plain, because God has shown it to us. For His invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So we are without excuse.

If you stumbled onto a bible, and decided that you agree with everything that the bible says, then you would also believe that you should take your animals to the church to spill their blood in front of the priest to make up for your wrong doings... you would also have to stay away from women, and never touch them for a week around their period, because they are unclean, and if you do, then you will be unclean as well. If this uncleanliness lead you to having some sort of disease, then you'd have to go to your priest, and they would lock you away in a cell for a week at a time, checking on you to see if you still have the disease, if you do, you get another week, if you don't, you can go free. You would also have to have slaves, which you can buy and sell with others, as long as they have enough money for it. All of these parts are in Leviticus in the bible, plus many many more... so if you wanted to pick up a bible, and agree with it's basis, then you'd be going by these pieces as well. Technically speaking, then, you would be sent to hell for not doing these things, let alone for not believing in God.

For starters, the bible never says that good people go to Heaven. In fact, it says the opposite. No man is good. We all break God's absolute laws are are all "bad" in his eyes. He originally created man for relationship with him. We have turned away from him and broken his laws. It is by his grace that he opens the door for us to redeem the relationship with him through belief in him and Jesus, the Savior. So, to answer your questions: 1. Yes. Only those in God's family will be permitted to entire his kingdom. The invitation is open to everyone, they just need to receive it. 2. Yes, but only in the scenario that that person violated those laws, THEN accepted the right to believe and belong to God eternally. If someone claimed to believe and accept Christ, then continued to habitually break God's command and show no repentance or regret for their actions, one could question whether or not they ever truly believed (but only God would truly know their heart). Jesus is not just a ticket to eternal life in the bible. True belief in him means that you accept him as Savior AND as Lord. If he is truly your Lord, you will worship and honor him through your actions. Because of our human nature, you will stumble at times, but you will be convicted in your heart to repent and turn things around. 3. He gives us free will because he knows that true love is not forced, it is a choice. He grows angry with our disbelief and our rebellion because he has laid the framework for everyone to understand that our universe did not come from nothing. We should be able to look at our world and understand that there are higher powers at work. That is the first step towards acknowledging him. Before even taking that first step, many reject his existence altogether. Others take the first step, but attribute it to other things or entities.

So, you mean to say that before you read the Bible you had been a person with no commonsense, therefore you did everything that is morally wrong. Then you stumble upon Bible and common sense came to you except the most important common sense that you must believe in God. However, you started abiding the Ten Commandments. You say you did everything what the Ten Commandments asked you to do. It means you have not read the Ten Commandments. The first two commandments says "I am the Lord your God; and you should have no other God in front of you". After you die and you would claim in front of God that you had lived your life according to Ten Commandments, God would ask you did you follow the first two commandments. Ans. to Ques 1: According to me you should be sent to Hell for not believing in God, because without God's help you cannot live righteously. Your claim is false. Ans to Ques 2: Again the person who does not believe in God cannot be righteous because God's goodness seeps in one's conduct only through belief in God and through adoring and worshiping him. Ans to Ques 3: God will not be angry with you not because you did not believe in him but because you did not live righteously. What you think is righteous might not be righteousness in the site of God.
