I'm not really sure what point you are trying to make here.
The Bible clearly states that there is an afterlife which is based on your actions on Earth. |
He is saying that the concept of an afterlife is flawed. God should not say "Do good because it is the way to heaven." God should say, "Do good because it is the right thing to do." With the existence of heaven, people will act good because they want a reward, not necessarily because they are of good character.
which reminds me of a quote someone had in their signature a while back:
"A man who does good because of fear of going to Hell is both a coward and is of weak character. A person who does good because he knows it is the right thing to do. That is the man I want to be" or something like that. |
God wants humans to be nice to one another. He stated it several times in the Bible to "Treat your neighbour as yourself" (or something like that.) How is that bribery? He says both things.
@OP This isn't Political Discussion by the way. It should be Off-Topic. |
Why are you quoting me? The OP said that.
