Is it worth it?

Post by supersonicthehedgehog »

Hi,
I'm supersonicthehedgehog (just call me SSH or Sonic).
I have a question. If you were to die and find that there was no god, would you be regretful? Would it have been worth it?
I'm a Christian with doubts and I eagerly await your responses. :esmile:

Hi Sonic,

If I were to die, and God doesn't exist, I wouldn't realize anything. I would just stop existing. No God, no afterlife. Just ceasing to exist. Pretty gloomy isn't it?

Maybe you'd be better off telling us specifically what doubts you're having. :D

As a non Christian, I wonder, worth what?

I know a couple of Christians who to the best of my knowledge do live
according to the principles of their faith, and are most admirable people.

How could one doubt that living so is worthwhile?

Hi Rick,
I'm doubting God's existence.
You're right, without God death is pretty gloomy.

Is there something specific that you believe is causing you doubt? Could you give us some details?

The people around me make seem like I'm a fool for believing God. There is the one guy in my class (Rasta) that is convinced that Christian are idiots and slaves ( in their minds). There is another guy, an atheist (he see no reason to believe in God) who puts doubt in my head. I believe in God but the doubt is there and it's stressing me out :esad:.

Sonic,
Do you simply believe God exists? Or do you actually have a saving faith in Jesus Christ?

I believe that Jesus is God and that he died for my sins.

I believe that Jesus is God and that he died for my sins.
And you believe that trusting in what Christ did, is why you are saved?

Be patient. These questions are leading to my point. :D

... but there is God.

If people around you stress you with some ideas that will get stuck in your head, feel free to share on the forum.
But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good.
-- 1 Thessalonians 5:21

For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.
-- Philippians 1:6
