A guy asked me (atheist) “if you don’t believe in anything, what’s stopping you from murdering?” which is wild cuz it implies that if he was not trying to get into heaven, he would just be constantly on bad shit, which is so ironic cuz (cont)

Isn’t it a thing where if you’re only doing good to reap the benefits of heaven then ur intentions are impure and you’re prolly not going to heaven? Like i could be wrong, but if I’m not, does he not see the irony in that

I’m screaming because he pretty much said he would murder if it wasn’t for “heaven” uh maybe what’s stopping you from murdering is due to the fact you aren’t a MURDERER lmfao

Relationship with Christ is what matters. Just “following the rules” doesn’t slide, because Christ doesn’t actually know you through relationship that way. “On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭22‬-‭23‬ ‭NLT‬‬

You don’t just follow the rules you have to have a relationship with god. You have to know him. Yes breaking gods law and not repenting will land you in eternal death but so will not knowing god. In fact the negative afterlife is commonly called eternal death which just means spending eternity without knowing god or being separated from god. It’s all about have a healthy relationship with our god not just doing what he says.

You’ll know Him by reading His word, aka the Bible.

This sounds like a recipe for someone reading the Bible and knowing god, doing bat shit crazy things, then repenting before death, and landing themselves in heaven because they read and understood the Bible despite their wrongs
