...that you could not do for yourself?
It's a pretty simple question that could spawn very detailed answers and point of views.
I grew up Episcopal, but a few years ago I really started to question my religion, and all others for that matter. (Mine being Christianity, because Episcopalians are just a man-made sect of)
And I started to notice a redundance in teachings, which was pretty much the standard golden rule taught by parents. Treat others as you would like to be treated. And so that's how I go through my life. I dont go to church, I dont believe in God. And yet I can still go through my day feeling good about myself and feeling that others feel good about me. So am I missing something, can God do something for me that I alone or with the support of my friends and family cannot do?
I'm sure the quick answer would be salvation, but what do I need to be saved from? I'm pretty sure I'm not in any harm or danger,unless people have malicious intents to do me harm.
Another one would be going to heaven. Well, there are far too many religions, and far too many different types of afterlife beliefs, that it could be concluded that anyone of those for which you believe it to be are true or false. Besides, prove it.
And while I'm not looking to blow anyones mind, really you could ask the question about yourself too, and perhaps find that you too, don't need a God, or a religion. Both of which, are ideas anyway.
God has given me a family that give me enough love everyday
pascals theory
1. if god exists and you live like he exists you win heaven
2. if god exists and you live like he doesnt exist you lose heaven
3. if god doesnt exist and you live like he exists you lose nothing
I understand that you question everything we all have a hunger for MORE
we weren't made to be on this planet
for example ever gotten something that made you happy but only for a while
exactly! we are made to be in heaven
HEAVEN= ETERNAL HAPPINESS WITH GOD
HELL= ETERNAL DAMNATION
WHERE WOULD YOU RATHER GO?
