Not me btw, someone else. Should they live life to the fullest? Accept God?

God loves everyone. Keep in mind that not everyone can live a happy, long life. The world would be overpopulated and we'd never live in a realistic world. God decides when you come and go. It's that simple. When you're needed in Heaven, you're needed in Heaven. He does not play favorites.

It seems like people are avoiding the issue. What's being asked is if you will unquestioningly submit yourself to God. Whether you think God would want you to perform said action or would not be able to do this without you is not in question.\n\nIncident: God tells you to kill someone.\nYou are a self-admittedly insignificant being who could not begin to understand God. Whatever his motivation be, God has told you to do this.\n\nDo you comply?\n\n(My answer's no by the way, but I'm not religious so this question probably was not directed at me. I just think that some of the people passing judgement here are being hypocritical.)

You hear correctly.  I live for today-being as good of a person as I can.  The rest will take care of itself.  If there is a heaven, there is ,  If not, there's not.  G-d will take care of it all.

That is a deep moral question.  One I have wrestled with.  My mother has Alzheimer's.  Her life is now down to lying in bed and suffering.  It is hell to watch her.  It is hell to stay away.  Should I be allowed to help her end her life?  If I did, how would it change me?  Could I live with it?  When I think about it I just cry.  There is nothing I can do to help her.  If I did help her end her life I would have to give up my freedom to be with my children and wife that also need me.  It is hard to believe that God has some purpose to this hell I find myself in, but I am not God.  I pray for it to be over for her and for us also.  In the mean time I love her and weep.  I honestly believe I could do it.  I also believe it would destroy me.  I am trapped.  We all are.  I think I know what I will do for myself when my time comes, but then I think that would have a horrible price for my loved ones also.  It seems to me that to keep the faith is all we really have.

God is the way the truth and the life, he sent his only son to die, so that you can have eternal life if you accept him into your heart. Pray to Him and ask Him to come into your heart

WoW! Interesting and deep questions...\nI would get on my knees and pray, but not just on my last day; praying everyday is a good thing.\nI would accept it being my last day, because what ever is God's will is fine...and I do believe there is a better life after this earthly, physical life. As for fearing death, I'm pretty sure I would, but again, there is something greater to look forward to, and God says that this life is nothing compared to the afterlife. So...I do believe in Heaven, but not the "mythical" sitting around on a cloud thing that some of us learned in some churches. I believe Heaven to be as you said, "to see the face of God" and Jesus Christ"...and much more than that. Those chosen to be in God's government, ( as opposed to these corrupt, worldly governments that exist now, will be wiped away, along with all the misery and suffering!) will help set up a fair and right government, which keeps God's laws, ( not all these man made B.S. laws!) This new system of living will allow people to learn to live God's way, with peace and happiness. (I'm sure there will be opposition on this!) Many more wrongs of this messed up world, will be corrected...Lots of work to do! No time to just sit on a cloud!\nAs for HELL!!! I believe that, as the Bible says, it is a consuming fire, and that it serves the purpose of burning up those who will not accept God's law, after they have been taught in the future. It will be as if they never existed; so basically, we are all given the chance to learn God's ways, either in this lifetime, or in the next...amd hopefully, we'll accept it, and not be destroyed in hell! There is also the mythical "Dantes Inferno" which influences us to think of hell as an ever burning punishment...I don't believe this is true at all...God is loving and merciful, and will give us another chance to learn how to live, how to love, how to obey, how to be happy, how to live harmoniously with one another, no wars, how to worship etc.....and IF we continue to want to live, as we do now, with Satan's influence dominating this messed up world, that's it! Stick us with a fork! We're done!!!

No need to kick the crap out of anyone. We must accept the reality that life is all about giving and those who like to keep getting are on the loosing side. \n\nIf God is around us then one day Jews, Arabs, Christians, Hindu's, Sikh's and people from each and every religious background would agree to live together happily.

Outstanding question.  The first three answers address God not allowing "those that don't choose Him" to enter into his presence in heaven, but it doesn't address the eternal punishment issue.  What is wrong with letting alone those who don't accept God?  Why MUST they be dropped into the lake of fire?  If we're free to decide for ourselves, but choose to live moral lives without believing in a god, why should we be punished for using our free will?\n\nAdam: "[W]ith love comes judgment[.  W]hat is seriously so difficult about this[?]  [I]f you have a kid that bad mouths you from when he can speak, leaves you abandoned as you are old and feeble, but then at your death bed says 'Hey Pops, why Ain't I in your will, Don't you love me?'"\n\nWhat about the child who just wants to live his own life, who doesn't "badmouth dear old dad," but also doesn't care about inheriting anything?  He just wants to live a moral, useful, fulfilling life on his own.  "Pops" in your scenario isn't just leaving his son nothing in the will; he's having him sentenced to hard labor in a maximum security prison for life just because his son didn't stick around the house and praise him daily like Pop wanted.

The way I look at is is, I will follow God with all my hart. There for I don't have time for Satan in my life. That doesn't mean he doesn't pop in every once in a while...But I always ask him to leave.If you are a skeptic wouldn't you rather be live and feel good and live a pleasant happy good life and find out there is a God then to do what you want as happy and good as it may be but with out God There is no Happy ever after?\n\n"acknowledge me be for man and I will acknowledge you be for my father"

Excellent food for thought!\n\nConsidering the fact that I am more of a spiritual person than religious, I would just go on in life as it is.  My father always questioned the theory of evolution -vs- the teachings of the bible.  We would have long arguments about what was right.  I know what I believe in my heart.  There has never been any real proof of anything, either way, so I don't believe my life would change as I believe that there is a supreme being by which my choice to call is God.  I do believe that I will be rewarded for all the good that I do here on earth and I do have full faith that there is a better place waiting for me.  I also believe that in my heart, I am punished for all my wrong doings as I, like all ppl, am instilled with morals and values, of which for me, are very high. \n\nPerhaps in having morals and values, we have the ability to pass judgement upon ourselves, thereby passing on what we believe to be an acceptable punishment should we choose to do so.  This is through the guilt we feel for wrong doing and the happiness for the positive in life.

I agree with you. Think of how many millions would live full lives without religious problems placed on them. Think of how many people will suddenly have a high quality of life since they are no longer sending their hard earned money to mega-church bank-accounts. The issue is so clear to me. Right my brother right on. The world could live in such perfect harmony. Right and wrong could be the new laws to follow, withouth the intervention of mythical persons watching over you waiting to punish you for not accepting them as the truth.

That is an excellent question and a very good point. I totally agree with you. What makes anyone think they are good enough to judge others, and what right have they to set the standards for other people. As long as people are doing their very best within their means, people should live and let live within reason, providing they are not causing a danger to themselves or others.

I have to totally agree with this quote. I have a relative that thinks if you don't go to HIS church (whichever one it is at the time) then you aren't serving God. I believe exactly what the Bible says about having eternal life; and it DON'T say that only the Baptists, or Catholics, or Methodists, or Pentecostals..etc are going to receive this gift of eternal life. God is God and he isn't any of these RELIGIONS...my opinion

If we knew that we would be here eternally, all people  over the world would be totally different. The idea that we are finite beings, seems to work out well for most of us. I personally would love to know that, through all of my efforts, that I will be in that final number. I want to be infinite and meet with the Lord because I followed his rules and treated my fellow persons with respect. I am a happy person because I am justified in the Lord. God Bless.
