Why would someone reject salvation out of self-interest? It seems to me that the obvious choice for those who put their own interest first would be salvation. Choosing that gate doesn't seem like much of a sacrifice, since it leads to eternal life in heaven.
Quote:Would you have rather died as a child or live life, if you choose life then why would you reject salvation through Christ?I prefer to live this life because there is no salvation through Christ. If there was, then it would be an easy decision to seek salvation. As it is, the easy decision is to not chase after rewards that do not exist, and so I live and enjoy the life I have.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
