There is no downside to living your life as a son of God.

[GISMYS]

There is no downside to living your life as a son of God== Believe the ==scriptures which say that no mere man has ever seen, heard, or even imagined what wonderful things God has ready for those who love the Lord. 10 But we know about these things because God has sent his Spirit to tell us, and his Spirit searches out and shows us all of God’s deepest secrets. 1 Corinthians 2:9-10

Here's one down side to believing in god. If we keep believing in jesus we are going to destroy the planet.

Great news! Half of the religious no longer tenaciously deny the threat of human-caused climate-change. Now at least half of American evangelicals take it seriously.

In the world-view of the religious, there is a theological escape-hatch that will engage so as to avoid the most catastrophic of predicaments. The escape-hatch, as a sort of cognitive levering, is triggered by the weightiest of biblical doctrines: the Doctrine of Original Sin.

When scientists back in the '70s were starting to worry about the environment, they were seen as engaging in a secular form of salvation -- to save the planet -- and, as such, were an affront to God. Emphasis should rather be on the salvation of souls. Even for evangelicals who no longer have these suspicions against the scientific community, evangelicals can't override the deep circuitry of their beliefs. For most North American Christians, our earth plays a central part, not only in the End Times, but in the Bible's promise for the "New Heavens and Earth." For them, the Book of Revelation is God's playbook to how things will work out for humanity. The increasingly devastating climatic events are "signs" of inevitable truths, and they demonstrate that Christ's return is imminent. And after Armageddon and God's judgment, God's promises restoration. Everything will be recreated in the New Heavens and Earth. So why worry about climate change, right? Can it really be thought that holding to a view like this will really hold the same urgency as those who think that a species, after millions of years of evolution, once extinct, is the end of things? In the christians mind, God is ultimately good and his judgments righteous. When it comes to being devastated by hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, land-slides, earthquakes there's never any shortage of Christians who say: "Well, I know that God is good and this somehow fits into his plan."

For those of us who aren't religious, the finality, importance, and urgency for radical change in our environmental policies is much different. We know if we fail, it's all over. It'll be gone forever. No second chance. Millions of years of evolution will be overwhelmed by the actions of a few generations of a selfish anti science/pro religion humanity.

NO WORRIES!!! GOD'S WORD SAYS THE EARTH IS ETERNAL, Jesus will return very soon and re-new the earth and all creation back to perfection for eternity!!!PTL.

 

[GISMYS]

JESUS IS GOD!!=He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. 11 He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. 12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:John 1:10-12

 

[GISMYS]

The Lord merely spoke,
and the heavens were created.
He breathed the word,
and all the stars were born.
7
He assigned the sea its boundaries
and locked the oceans in vast reservoirs.
8
Let the whole world fear the Lord,
and let everyone stand in awe of him.
9
For when he spoke, the world began!
It appeared at his command.
10
The Lord frustrates the plans of the nations
and thwarts all their schemes.
11
But the Lord’s plans stand firm forever;
his intentions can never be shaken.
12
What joy for the nation whose God is the Lord,
whose people he has chosen as his inheritance.
13
The Lord looks down from heaven
and sees the whole human race.
14
From his throne he observes
all who live on the earth.
15
He made their hearts,
so he understands everything they do.
16
The best-equipped army cannot save a king,
nor is great strength enough to save a warrior.
17
Don’t count on your warhorse to give you victory—
for all its strength, it cannot save you.
18
But the Lord watches over those who fear him,
those who rely on his unfailing love.
19
He rescues them from death
and keeps them alive in times of famine.
20
We put our hope in the Lord.
He is our help and our shield.
21
In him our hearts rejoice,
for we trust in his holy name.
22
Let your unfailing love surround us, Lord,
for our hope is in you alone.
psalm 33:6-22

Matthew 25:31-46
Jesus Will Judge the World

31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory and all his angels are with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 The people of every nation will be gathered in front of him. He will separate them as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right but the goats on his left.

 

[GISMYS]

"For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself does; and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel. For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son gives life to whom He will. For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son, that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him. John 5:20-23

 

[GISMYS]

14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

15 And so we should not be like cringing, fearful slaves, but we should behave like God’s very own children, adopted into the bosom of his family, and calling to him, “Father, Father.” 16 For his Holy Spirit speaks to us deep in our hearts and tells us that we really are God’s children.
Romans 8:14-17=== when the right time came, the time God decided on, he sent his Son, born of a woman, born as a Jew, 5 to buy freedom for us who were slaves to the law so that he could adopt us as his very own sons. 6 And because we are his sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, so now we can rightly speak of God as our dear Father. 7 Now we are no longer slaves but God’s own sons. And since we are his sons, everything he has belongs to us, for that is the way God planned. Galations 4:5-7

You mean if I just set my rational mind aside along with the law and the entire OT and just believe that a false nonexistent trinity diddled a virgin to father himself so he could become fully human without a human father I could become his son and just like you make a jackass out of myself on a daily basis as I drown in confusion and gibber incoherently for the rest of my life?

I'll have to think about that.

I'll get back to you....
