Forums - General - Would you give up your faith in Jesus Christ for 10 million dollars,

I'm not a Christian but I guess Muslims also believe in Jesus (but as a prophet), but i say no.

It's impossible to actually give up a faith for money.

It's like being paid 10 million for believing that 1+1=5. We are perfectly aware that the question whether that statement is correct or not is completely unrelated to the money offer.

So whoever would accept that offer would in fact not actually sell his faith, but only his human dignity, by not giving up, but rather denying his own beliefs.



Nope, but i would for 10.00001million



Impossible, I would never do that. I cannot give up what I do not have in the first place.

Saw this question on facebook.

 

I probably would.


 “How difficult it will be for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!”

“Children, how difficult it is to enter the kingdom of God! 25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.” 26 And they were exceedingly astonished, and said to him, “Then who can be saved?” 27 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man it is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God.” Mark 11:23-27 ESV

Give back the money now, Spurgeonryan.

I gave it up for free after I read a book full of nonsense.

Have you ever really read the whole thing or do you just not pay attention to all the contradictions and clear problems with logic?

So yes... give me my 10 million so I can go do Jesus's work.


If you were doing the work of Christ after you got the 10 million it would most likely have to be dedicatd to a noble cause or charity like helping the poor or sick. If Jesus was apart of a system...he'd most likely be socialist it seems. Capitalism wouldn't be his bag at all.

 Everyone knows that the Bible falls apart if you try to disect it with logic.

The same applies to religion, or our own Christian religion in general.



There isn't a single fact that supports the existence of god and religion started about 50,000 years ago as primitive man tried to make sense of his surroundings. The fact such a primitive concept still exists despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary is perhaps the greatest indicator of the arrogance of man and how our own egos allow us to deny reality. His own jewish people have no believe in Jesus at all despite being the people that would have witnessed his miracles 80 generations ago, in fact the talmud describes Jesus as a false prophet who will boil in excrement for eternity.

Religion is basically a way of controlling the human sheep of this world. People who can't break free of their mental conditioning. You look at the middle east and how corrupt most of the governments are. There is no way most of those corrupt leaders believe they will be judged. Religion has always been a way of those who desire power to control the weak minded.

Sorry if that offends anyone but when you see people respond with comments like I will never lose my faith it just feels like a statement confirming everything that is wrong with humanity. The facts and reality should make you lose faith, your own powers of reasoning should make you lose faith. The complete lack of any supporting evidence should make you lose faith.

Life has been on this planet for 3-4 billion years of which our modern religions have been around a few hundred years to a few thousand and are only believed by a fraction of one animal species on one planet around a star in a universe that has trillions of trillions of trillions of stars. The track record is religions do change anyway going by past religions. They have absolutely no real significance.



My brother turned me off Religion, so i'd take the 10 million dollars anyday.
