Tell Him Jesus Sent You

I was waiting for the bus to arrive after class today, when a man approached me wanting to ask me a few questions. He warned that they might be deep, but sensing he was a Christian, I was all for it .He proceeded to ask me some basic questions about my upbringing and my current beliefs. Then, he told me one last thing, right as my bus was coming: If you die today, and are in front of God, all you have to say is "Jesus Christ."So, I was wondering what other Christians here thought of that. To me, it seems as though with a belief such as that in place, one may permit one's self to do as much wrong as desired, and later it all be washed clean by those two magic words.J0N

I don't know about a lot of pholks here, but my desire not to follow God stems from not wanting to be controlled by a Bumbling Fool who creates and governs in a rather alcoholic manner. I mean, how many leaders do you think would allow their citizens to break laws, deny the government, set up their own governments, break free in large chunks from the main land masses of their countries, etc?Either He truly does not care--in which case I feel no obligation to care in return--, or He simply is unable to keep it all together--in which case, I'd rather side with Satan, who clearly has the situation under control.J0N1CU5Edited by Jonicus Maximus, : Changed bumbling fool to Bumbling Fool (out of respect, of course) ;-)--&--other minor grammar issues.

Phat, this all goes back to the problem of evil, and you can't have an almighty God who is also all-good in a world where there is clearly evil. Let's look at it this way: (let x = "everything")P)God never does wrong.
P)God does x.
C)x is not wrong.BUT!, we know that x IS wrong--unless you think Hitler's genocide, slave triangles, deforestation, etc. are not wrong--(at least not in its entirety). So... either God isn't all too good, or He doesn't control everything--or rather, anything that's bad. Take your pick.J0N1CU5Edited by Jonicus Maximus, : grammar/wording
