Christians. Could you be wrong?

The real question is what are the consequences for a Christian being wrong VS an Atheist.

If a Christian is wrong there are no consequences, in fact he\she will never realize it. If an Atheist is wrong then he\she has eternal separation to look forward to...Even if they are right, the future is still pretty bleak.

Atheism is just a lose/lose situation.

A Christian is under no obligation to try and convince anyone or provide proof. Their only obligation is the seek out the lost sheep.

John 10:26
But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep


A person is born as either a sheep or a goat. A sheep needs no convincing they just need the opportunity to hear the truth and they will believe it, its just that simple. The goat is the stubborn one, always wanting to butt it's head up against something, and no matter how hard you try you can't turn a goat into a sheep..Not gonna happen.

Personally speaking, I've seen plenty of evidence, there isn't a question in my mind on if what I believe is true. The problem is, faith is required to produce the evidence, which is why Paul stated that the gospel came not in word form only, but also in power and demonstration. You just need the prerequisite of faith to make it work.

Also as a side note, faith has nothing to do with religion, anyone is capable of having faith, as documented by the "placebo effect".

So Pascal's wager is your answer? Thanks for the fail. Then the shifting of the burden of proof begins. Fail number two.

Read the thread title.

The question was raised by the OP if Christians could be wrong. My answer was if we're wrong then it doesn't matter, now does it? I also stated that I'm not trying to convince, or prove anything to anyone.

If you find that you're happy doing whatever you do in life and are fulfilled, then keep on doing whatever it is you do. The notion that I have to prove something to you is absurd.

So you want us to be sheep? That really isn't the analogy I would go for if I was trying to convince a group of critical thinkers.

Again, I clearly stated that I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything. Better to be a sheep than a lemming.

But regardless, you're going to follow something and I find it interesting that this group of "critical thinkers" are unable to form an original thought but choose to parrot Hitchens, Dawkins etc....

Oh and btw, here's a video of your group of "critical thinkers"
