Letters on religion fruitless




Theexchange of letters has been interesting but fruitless. People aren’t argued into believing the Bible and once you have a real relationship with God you can’t be argued out of it. Let’s keep it simple — where do we go when we die. Do we believe in a Creator or not? If not, who knows? If we believe then it is reasonable that the Creator has a plan for us, which is given us in the Bible. Not like a blueprint with everything spelled but as an architect’s drawing with the overall plan.

We all sin (I can’t live up to my own expectations, let alone God’s) so He sent His Son to die for my sins so I don’t have to be punished.

Yes, by taking a verse here and there you can prove anything but it wasn’t by faith and filled out for the individual by prayer and study.

Now compare, if I’m right, as a believer in Christ, I will be in heaven (wonderful place) and unbelievers will look on the face of an angry God.

If I’m wrong, I will still have had years of receiving peace and strength to meet hardships, and power to be a better person than I could be on my own. If I’m wrong, I’ll end up where? Nowhere or reincarnated as some other being, etc.

I’ve made my choice, have you?
