1. You believe in God and he really exists. Outcome: You'll win big.
I will comment on #1. and if the shoe fits wear it. Some of you who
expressed beliefs in God said that our limitations as humans keeps us from
fully understanding God and what he will do. I like to think he has allowed
humans over 6000 years on earth to produce enough people to voluntarily
worship and serve him (no robots). Then he puts his main opposer, Satan and
Satan's angels out of commission. Then he looks deep into the heart of each
individual living and kills those he (no human judges here!) sees loves him
and will voluntarily worship him and follow instructions and do no harm to
their fellow humans, but only do good towards all. Then, in an orderly
fashion he resurrects (already illustrated by Jesus resurrecting and healing
people) all those who he (by already having locked their information into
his memory) knows will live and perform the same as those he let live when
he dropped the big hammer on the evil ones. Again, no robots. If those who
said that we can not fully comprehend how God operates can have full
confidence that God will make things right, then who cares if he uses my
theory as presented here or some other method to bring wonderful condiditons
to the earth? Those who feel God is a supernatural visitor who resides on
another planet are severely limiting their view of Him by the limitations of
citizens of other planets, no matter how far ahead of us they are in
technology. Ok, write me off as being a nut if you wish, but consider this!
We are in such deep doo doo having ruined our home (the earth) and are so
involved in killing each other off (instead of finding ways to help each
other) that if somebody who has lots more power than we do does not come and
rescue us soon, we are goners as a population. What good would it do to come
patch up our environment and leave those who live to harm others here to
continue their bad deeds? As for the doomsdayers (those of us who feel life
as we know it is coming to an end real quick) we can afford to be wrong in
feeling the end is coming soon, as long as we are prepared. For those who
are not right with God and thus unprepared, can they afford to be wrong in
feeling it will not come in decades or centuries? Only God knows!
2. You believe in God but he doesn't exist. Outcome: you haven't lost
much.
3. You don't believe in God and he doesn't exist. Outcome: a draw.
4. You don't believe in God and he exists. Outcome: You lose big time.
