Believe me, I will continue to dig on questions that I have that don't make sense to me, all the while maintaining faith that ultimately, those questions will lead me back to truth, which I believe is the God of the Bible and Jesus Christ.

    I understand your skepticism, I really do. But again, keep searching. If those with the materialistic worldview are correct, then well, who really cares all that much about what conclusions anyone comes to. But, if we who have faith in Christ are correct, then the conclusion at the end is of ultimate consequence. So keep searching. I believe that Christ alone can save, and it may not mean that much to you, but I will be in prayer for you, that you find that truth as well, because I want desperately for you to find salvation.
    This man gets it and I totally agree. I to will always be praying for the lost( as we Christians call it). I was about to post something similiar in regards to when we die. To the unbelievers, what do you think happens when we die? As a Christian, I believe Jesus died for my sins (everyone's for that matter) and that by believing in him I will be saved from my sins and live with Him in heaven for eternity. But if I choose not to believe, my eternity will be spent in hell.- So my first questions leads me to my second question for the unbeliever. What if I am a right and you are wrong? Because what I believe in has consequences. So my prayer to the unbelievers is keep an open mind to the Christian faith and hopefully the truth that we believe in will find you. Because like I said, what if Christians are right and the others are not.

    Well what if you are wrong and Islamists are right? Buddhists? Insert any other religion....There are millions of other people on this earth that feel just as strongly about their religion being right and yours being wrong. They all have stories of how their religion changed their life for the better and are close to God as well. What are you going to do if you are wrong and they are right? I do not know what I am going to do. I would imagine I will tell God that I was religious growing up and I did not really feel any closer/ less closer to a higher being during that time and I did not trust the theories and stories from thousands of years ago when human beings were savages. If he sends me to hell for that then I guess I will go to hell thinking God is pretty unreasonable.

    I guess if I am wrong I will have had a nice life here on earth and that will be it. Now I will admit I'm not sure what eternity holds for those other religions you mentioned. But if I am right I will be spending eternity in paradise while others will be in agony in hell. And eternity is a very very long time. I will also add that it would be hard to believe in some these religions that promote violence and killing in the name of their religion. I find it hard to put much faith in a religion like that. My God is a loving God, but He also puts the ball in our court to believe in Him or not. So the choice is one we all must make for ourself. Good luck and God bless in your choices my friend.
