I am in a bit of a Predicament, I read yesterday about the pascals wager and so I became a bit skeptic.
For the last year I have had problems about the 'Unforgivable Sin and Going to Hell' To rid myself of these problems I decided to read the Bible and see if I became an Atheist.
Honestly - I had never read the bible so the Unforgivable sin to me was one passage that I knew against the backdrop of all the ones I didn't know.
The way I think is that I need to read something for myself - Taking peoples word that I didn't commit it or using scripture does not work I need to learn this for myself.
That crap out of the way:: I decided to read the bible. I found 149 problems with it and that's without reading my SAB Bible.
By the end I was concrete in my opinion that God 'May' Exist but if he does we are all pretty much fucked as he Isn't very stable minded. And it also appears he punishes those who aren't on his team. E.g. Abraham - Lot - Joseph.
But since people are raising pascals wager I am a bit deluded as I now believe I am going to hell by the God of the Christian bible.
Weirdest thing is the fact that I don't much want to goto heaven as it doesn't sound much better e.g. Kissing Gods ass for eternity.
And lastly is the fact that I have my view on Genesis that falls apart quickly. Maybe I need to solidify my Athiest Belief?
Is this a correct view point - Would reading Exodus add more concrete to the Athiest Mixture or would it weaken it.
I had this same outlook until I found the key to understanding the symbolism in the Bible. I could tell you here, or simply link you to my many pages of thought. [Link removed]
The key to symbolism is found in the top forums. If you have questions, I would be glad to answer them by my own perspective. I think you may find it refreshing and unique. Read my threads here as well. There are only three.
'unforgivable sin or unpardonable sin' has no remedy which is committed the moment a person dies that possess the understanding that Christ spent an eternity in hell to pay the ransom for their sins, but has decided that God's salvation plan is not for them.
at the highest level, this earthly life's purpose is to determine where each person will spend eternity. why does God do it this way? He chose to do it this way.
Atheist Credo: A universe by chance that also just happened to admit the observer by chance.
