<div class="FTQUOTE"><begin quote><em>Originally posted by: <strong>Isaiah53</strong></em> And most importantly – no matter how long you have left, a year or 50 years, is going to seem irrelevant compared to the next million years. And where and how you spend the rest of all eternity is directly based on the decisions you make between now and your funeral… More than once I almost OD’d because I didn’t care(and didn’t think about it). But when I look back, it terrifies me to think of what would have happened to me if I would have died not knowing Christ. Jesus says in <a href="http://esv.scripturetext.com/matthew/7.htm">Matthew 7:21</a>: “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.” I thank God now every day that He had mercy on me and I was able to know this truth before it was too late. If anyone stopped to reflect on their life and is uncomfortable now, it’s not a coincidence – Pray right now and tell God that you’re worried and you know that you have made a mess of your life but you want to change. Jesus says in <a href="http://esv.scripturetext.com/john/5.htm">John 5:24:</a>“Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.” Thank You Jesus!! Check out this quiz <a href="http://www.needgod.com/">http://www.needgod.com/</a></end quote>
I respect your right to believe what you want, however this question is more based on quality of life of CFers while alive. If your only reason in believing in god is that you are afraid of eternal consequences, that is a logical fallacy (specifically Pascal's wager).
While it doesn't particularly bother me that you brought up your faith, doing so can bother others and quickly derail a thread into an argument. There is a specific religion section on this forum for discussion of religious topics and prayer requests.
If you feel you must proselytise, please ask the original poster if he or she wishes to have that content included in their thread, or simply send a PM to the person you wish to reach out to.
Thanks
