    What about these folks who wait until the end to get saved. I think that is the best deal going. Party down and if you get old and time it right you can get saved ... just in case :D... and ministers are glad to do it. Kinda cheapens the whole deal doesn't it :)

    I see it happen a lot. Especially old guys who have had heart attacks, all the sudden it's all about God.

    As long as a person's still breathing, it's not too late. And yeah, I can see where that looks like a pretty good deal. There are two major problems with that strategy though. First, God holds people accountable for the gifts, talents, and time they've been given. If a person only gives the last 5 minutes of his life to God, it won't look too good standing before God. You're still there, but there are (according to the Bible) vastly different levels of reward in heaven. Second, we never know if we'll get that deathbed opportunity until we're actually on it. Death is notoriously unpredictable. :)

    I was just being flippant. As a total non-believer the end result to me is ashes and/or recycled body parts. Nada as far as consciousness or continuity. I see no difference between my life and any other animal on the planet.

    For those of us that can't quote scripture, where does it say that?

    I thought you were either in or out.

    Matthew 25:14-30 (the parable of the talents)


    "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'" --Matthew 7:21-23, NIV

    I've been told I have talents but I don't think any of them will get me into heaven. :beer: :argue: :feedme: :vfingers: :banana:

    Actually you might be surprised. Some of those talents might be rewarded in heaven if used properly. :)
