"What If?" Nichole Nordeman

What if you're right, and when I die there's nothing else. What if I am a fool for my faith? But what if you're wrong and you are the fool, and when you die you realize that you missed out on eternal life because you were too cynical to believe?

In fact I do believe in other gods. The Bible talks about other gods and says not to follow them, because only Jesus can save you. As for your "huge logical flaw," it is nonsense to me, because why should I put more trust in your weak human mind when I know the ALMIGHTY GOD who created you and loves you even though you despise Him? There is no point in arguing with someone who has their mind made up to trust their own understanding instead of living by faith in that which our minds cannot fathom

Big question: What if you're wrong about Zeus, Thor, Allah, etc? Your argument is flawed because it assumes there are only two options: Christian God or Nothing at All. It's those pesky other options that could just as easily damn you for eternity for your beliefs that you choose to ignore because it's comfortable for you.

@dpotter2113

If I were damned for eternity by any other god because I chose to serve Jesus, I am ok with that because there is no god like my God who is so loving, merciful, just, & righteouss. no other god is worthy of my devotion. I'd rather serve Him with no benefit of salvation (if that were the case, which I know it is NOT) than to spend my life serving some other diety. What makes the real differene is love. no other god LOVES me the way Jesus does.

my God is a God of love but also a God of justice. i wish some would realize what that means and all it entails and stop whining about the "wicked" god when it is their own sin that separates them from the Father. i wish they'd just be humble and repent so that they could share in the grace and love of God that is offered to all, but accepted by few. i wish i wish, but wishing is futile, so i will pray instead. :)

@crystalsky84 Your response = Willful ignorance at the highest level. "How do I know my god exists? Because he does! So there!" Great argument buddy. Keep fighting the sad fight. Us awful atheists will be busy actually making the world a better place instead of praying it happens by itself.

[crystalsky84]

@dpotter2113 It doesn't work that way. When you have Christ in your life, things will happen that have no explanation. I'm not talking about simple, little things. I'm talking about things that you cannot mistake being from Him. THAT is how we know we have "the right God." THAT is what helps our faith increase that much more. THAT is what makes it worth coming on these sites and arguing with some atheist fool who refuses to think anyone bigger and better than himself exists. Atheism=selfishness.

[dpotter2113]

@theredhead521 So your defense to the huge logical flaw that I presented is that even if your god turns out to not exist, you'd still rather be loyal to a non-existent god because you prefer it that way. You seem to be saying that you believe there are a multitude of gods, and you just picked this one because of the benefits package. Little polytheism for ya? You ignore the possibility of Allah existing and God not existing. Try logic, not asserting.

@ Shaun..The big difference is that if a person is saved by the blood of Jesus Christ then there is absolutely NO question. We KNOW we are right because we have proof from Almighty God. I will pray for your soul Shaun- there is not much time left to make a choice. The Lord says":today is the day of your Salvation, harden not your heart" I believe he is speaking to you....

..., (this follows the comment below) those serving other 'gods' seemed isolated and out of fear, it seemed, would fight against other tribes and what would start as a small problem would escalate leading to deaths. Whereas those serving the God of the Bible would work together to overcome the problem. I'm not going to say the vietnam war was caused by godless people but I think a lot of responsibility does fall on the communists as they had a huge part to play.

@ninegray Yeah, I think your right that correlation ≠ causation and that there are many Animistic peoples who are trying to appease 'gods'. I grew up in Papua New Guinea and witnessed the amazing difference between those who knew and lived for the God of the Bible and those who didn't. All remained animist in that their main values were spiritual dealings, family (relationships) & food rather than more material things. The difference was when something went wrong...

@ninegray the history of Sweden can't be ignored when looking at where it is today. And even so, that one example is also counteracted by so many other countries where unreached tribes still practice canabalism, etc.
