Reading the bible
#7
RE: Reading the bible
Quote:My dad has failing health and there is no doubt in my mind that the main reason he does nothing very productive to help himself is because he is looking forward to death and his reward in heaven instead of trying to improve his health to enjoy the only existence he will ever know.

Sad,but that's his right, and it's a rational view fora believer. Looking forward to a wonderful life-to--come is part of the appeal to the poor,the marginalised and the stupid. (no offence to your dad)

The early church sold itself so well that at one point they had to proscribe actively seeking martyrdom;it was effecting the collection plate..

My health is also poor.My plan is to do what I can to keep my quality of life at a decent level. When that goes,it's some serapax and an excellent bottle of cognac.
