AgnosticAmerican,
After reading your reply, I began to think about my previous answer to you. I decided to respond back to you in more biblical terms because like you said, one day when you lie down for the last time, I don't want your destiny to be on my hands. I would like to share some verses from the holy scriptures with you. After that you can draw your own conclusions, but at least my conscience will be clear.
John 1:1-3 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made.
Psalms 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handiwok. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
Romans 2:19-21 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things, that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful;but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Psalms 14:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
I Thessalonians 5:2-3 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a theif in the night. For when they shall say, peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
John 3: 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
The bible tells us that every creature that God made knows God in some form or the other. They may not worship him but there is something on the inside that knows God. Even an atheist when they encounter danger yells God or Lord help me. Why is that? Romans 2:19 tells use that because all of creation knows him and that there is no excuse. When your time is up, you cannot tell God that I didn't know because he is clearly seen in his creation. The earth did not get here by an atomic blast, Look at the animals (Zebras, Tigers, Lions, peacocks), these are the handiworks of God's hand. Look how carefully painted and sculptured they are.
You told Eileen that you did not want to lay on your death bed and have any regrets about things that you didn't do in life, but wouldn't it be a shame to die without Christ and regret that you did not make the right choice, while you were living. What a sad day that would be, and even worst is the fact the you can't take it back. You can't start over. The bible says that every man will give an account of the things done in his body.
The Bible says to choice you this day who you will serve, will it be God or Man.
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
The choice is yours to make. God is real!!!!!
Be Blessed.
