You must ask yourself is…when you pass on from this life do you want to stand before God on the basis of your own deeds or works? I mean really? No one has lived a perfect life and the thought that somehow all the “good” things you did in your life will somehow outweigh the bad things is pretty shaky at best. If God is perfect wouldn’t he demand perfection from his creation (i.e. obeying the law at all times)?

There is however someone who led a perfect life and never sinned. Simply by asking Yeshua (Jesus) to be your savior his righteousness will be credited to your account and you will not have to fear standing before God with the threat of condemnation. So please make the wise choice before it is too late….

Can't say I'm that interested about what God has to say about my life. The thoughts of a fictional being weigh not on my mind.

faith without works is not a terribly good idea ....

One of the many things I've always wondered about Jesus is, 'was he nice to his mum?'. Didn't he leave her hanging about once cos he was busy?

That's not right.

So basically you're trying to scare people into belief by fear of damnation.

You think that's a good starting point for faith?

Ephesians
2:8 For by grace you are saved through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God;
2:9 it is not from works, so that no one can boast.

What on earth makes you think that eternal agony would be fun

[Button62]

Sorry to disappoint, but right now in my life that just isn't the most important question I'm afraid.

I'm with the guy who is in trouble for putting a poster in his window which reads " Religion is just a fairy tale for grown ups ".

Respect. *bowing down smiley*

As for the OP, if after death I'm still sentient it'll come as a major shock I can tell you.

[InTheNow]

You're saying that God is blaming us for not making us right. That's what I don't get about religion. If you bake a cake and it comes out wrong, who do you blame? The cake or yourself?

Also, this Jesus chap, if he existed and was so powerful, why didn't he sort the mess the world was in the first time round? Why do we have to go through all this judgment stuff? If Jesus had sorted out the world's problems (rather than turning water into wine and walking on water), then we'd have had no Holocaust and his Jewish brethren and other unfortunates would not have had to undergo unimaginable torment and suffering.

In other words, we are constantly being blamed for the Biblical God's bungling.

How does that make sense?
