So being dead will be just like it was for me before I was born? Works for me since grief is ephemeral. I don't grieve much for my great great great grandparents, it's almost like they never existed.
What choice will I face?Not to worry, you won't feel any pain. The good news is that you won't face this choice until the second resurrection during the reign of Christ on earth.
Are you truthful to an even greater degree? The Bible notes early on, humanity incurred brokenness (some brokenness). Not all things are somewhat broken become useless. The Bible also notes that we all have that spark of divinity, and that we should look for that spark in our fellow man.
One can enter God's Kingdom, Kingdom living, during our life on earth. That is something good here. Are you missing out on goodness here?
I like to think so. So is the winning measure 51-49, 60-40, or 90-10? How do you know?
Not sure what to make of that? We're all somewhat broken and I'm sure we're all useless to God.
Nice thought.
I don't believe so. By definition.
Nonsensical questions for an atheist. Analogous to "Choosing separation from Zeus is for every mortal who makes that choice. Did you choose--or not choose--Zeus today? Are you happy and fulfilled by the decision you made?"
It has nothing to do with winning. In your present condition are you useful? You can answer this question by studying your conscience. What were your contributions to the day? What were your failures?
Why?
I did not choose Zeus today. Did you know Zeus feared having a son that was more powerful than he? What kind of father is that. Zeus was not a faithful husband. What kind of bridegroom is that.
You will be destroyed. Even the memory of you will cease so that others won't grieve forever over your fate. It will be as if you never existed. Not to worry, you won't feel any pain. The good news is that you won't face this choice until the second resurrection during the reign of Christ on earth.
What could God get from a human being? It's not like he needs any help with anything.
I have not devoted myself to others like a saint might but I did help an elderly woman fix her TV (she accidently pressed the 'input' button). How much is enough?
The God of the OT was no saint either. Can you say genocide?
Will I be eternally gasping for breath and be starving for eternity? Sounds like torment to me.
That's an odd point of view. God allowing people to choose their own way is not a strong God. On the other hand, a God who throws souls into a Lake of Fire is seen as mighty... Recall respect for the free will of humans is a known characteristic of God.
Shame on you! That is not and never has been my belief. Why are you lying about me?
What is your problem! Lies, deceit, and now slander. I'll never again see you as an example of Christian love. If you knew me at all, you would know I am ALWAYS saying, "Good enough never is."
God is love. What is love without others to love? Try to imagine that emptiness. About five years back I took on two chinchillas. They can't do a thing for me. They need care and tending. I love them dearly. Think about it. Doesn't both giving and receiving love make you the best of who you already are.
With that attitude, you've already done way too much.
