As such, it's absurd to consider it a player in one's alleged "eternal destiny."The reason for people to SAY there is no God is because of natural pride and self-sufficiency. When a human spirit humbly accepts God’s righteous condemnation of sin by awaking to its depravity then contrition will lead one to God’s plan of redemption by Christ Jesus.
Based on what I know and believe about life, the universe and everything, I am strongly of the opinion that my current self terminates forever at the moment of physical death, with no aspect of my personality surviving. My destiny, as I see it, is simply for the atoms of my body to be recycled into various other things that may or may not possess sentience. I have no need of your mythology, and the chances of me accepting this alleged "redemption" are effectively zero.
What many don’t realize is that God doesn’t possess unlimited power (albeit, immense) since his nature won’t allow sin —- God can’t sin, can’t accept sin, and most importantly can’t overlook sin. When people agree with God on the sin question and accept his remedy, then they are declared righteous for eternity; otherwise, they declare that sin is alright by God which blasphemy, the eternal sin which is not forgivable.
Wow! Such knowledge about the Creator of the Universe! It sounds like you are the one with the "natural pride" issue.
How do you get off thinking that you know these things? There are several major world religions, each with hundreds or thousands of variant offshoots. But you have the goods. Wow, you're heroic!
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
