Part of the point is, however long you live in this life, it is short compared with eternity. Get right with eternity, 'cause it is a long time to live there in a wretched, pathetic state.
In addition, if you are right with eternity,
you will be a lot more comfortable and happy in this life, just for FEELING that you are right with eternity.
I do not believe in your version of the afterlife and I feel pretty darn comfortable with my eternity. Do you, knowing if you have made the wrong choice you face an eternity in your Hell?
After all, you are the one who has not followed your God's words exact;y as I have pointed out to you many times!
As I have shown you, I follow God's words exactly, because I follow them in Jesus. As God says, believing in Jesus is the thing - and really the only thing - that allows anyone to follow God's words exactly. The perfection of Jesus - the Guy Who followed God's words exactly -
is applied to me through faith in Him. This means that even if I don't follow God's words exactly, I do follow them exactly in Jesus.
God says it. Jesus says it. I do it... in Jesus. You are mistaken. It is you who are not following God's words exactly.
Regarding versions of eternal life...
Nobody who didn't have a death wish for himself, would do something that might kill himself, right? So, why do people die in car accidents? Why do they die in hospitals? Why do they die in wars? Very few (if any) of these people have a death wish for themselves.
They die because they made a mistake about a benefit they expected to receive. A car accident wasn't expected. It just happened. Death in the hospital was the reverse of what was being looked for. The soldier who dies was really hoping to help his nation and other people, and to receive a little pay for doing it. None of these people wanted to die. And if they knew they were going to die, they would have done things a different way.
The point? Feeling comfortable isn't what counts. Recognizing the truth and the facts is.
You keep trying to show me how I am not following God's words. I keep showing you that I am.
I have the reference that shows that I am, even though
there are many references that appear to show that I am not. Who are these "not" reference for? They are for the people who do not do the thing that covers, and essentially voids, all the "not" references. They are for people like you.
You are the one who is not obeying God, simply because you do not accept Jesus salvation, the only thing that can make the despicable life of any person to be pure. When you attempt to apply disobedience of God to me, you are doing so because you are drawing from yourself. When I apply obedience of God to myself, I do so because I apply Jesus righteous obedience to myself, as God tells me. Jesus righteousness covers/removes/voids all disobedience against God's words.
I am righteous in Jesus righteousness. God said so. Apparently you are not... and God said this as well. But, you can change.
How nice.... you don't have to do anything other than have Faith in a fairy tale? Wow..... that is super cool.
Using that logic you can do whatever you like..... go against your god and just because you believe in something makes it right..... WOW.... that is amazing!
You have just acknowledged that you have references which show you not following your gods commands and in the same sentence admit that there are references which show you are not..... ironic that you only choose to follow the ones which make you feel good? It is good to see that you acknowledge your holy book is full of false comments and contradictions..... pity you still believe and want others to follow your beliefs.
I choose not to believe in fairy tales...... because they are not real!
I hope Santa brings you many wonderful presents on Christmas Day when he comes down your chimney!
