Can I be a badboy all my life and ask for forgiveness as an old dying man and will he forgive me?

Alliance
According to some religons, yes.

of course this procludes that:

1. There is something to forgive

2. THere is something that can forgive you.

According to the Bible, yes. It was even written that Darwin was on his death bed asking for forgiveness.

Alliance
Darwin was very religious.

FistOfThe North
Darwin? The evolutionist? Lol, he hell? I thought he was an atheist.

Alliance
Hell no. He originally was in seminary school. All his work had massive religous overtones. He thought he discovered the way god worked.

Science was a way to get closer to god, to understand his nature and the nature of his creation.

FistOfThe North
Ops, typo. I meant ... "Lol, what the hell?"

Alliance
np.

FistOfThe North
But the opposite of evolution is creationsim, which was obviously opposed, right?

Alliance
No. Its just not 7-day creationism.

I voted yes, but you cannot just ask for forgiveness with your mouth on your death bed as I assume you mean. You have to truly believe that Christ died on the cross for you and that by his blood your sins will be washed away. Confessing it with your mouth is only part of it. "God weighs the motives of the heart." You need to believe as well to receive the forgiveness.

Or none of it actually happens.

Yes.

However, the "deathbed conversion" program (fire insurance included) suffers from the "sudden death" clause, in which, if one dies prematurely, one doesn't have the opportunity to fulfill the legal obligations of the "deathbed conversion" program.

This is the program that costs your soul right?

I answered no because it is not as simple as it sounds. You just don't realize that you were an ******* all your life and on your deathbed say" Hey God forgive right, we cool right?" Nah, PEOPLE it doesn't work like that. Redemption is very possible but you have to truly truly mean it, you have to feel a complete transformation or else you will not be granted forgiveness

Not if it occurred to you that you would need to ask for forgiveness now. This implies you knew it was wrong.

Templares
Why jump the gun and beg for forgiveness at your deathbed when you could do it LATER in the afterlife?

God, the Christian one anyway, is one merciful nigg@ wink .

(All of this assuming that God and the afterlife DOES exist).

Why don't you just become a Christian for a month or so, and then go back to the way you are now? Once saved, you will never go to hell.

This program ensures the lasting of your soul for eternity, it doesn't cost it.

Of course He will if you are sincere.

first and foremost: you have to be sincere about it. you have to believe that god allowed his only son, jesus, to be crucified to save us from our sins. you then have to allow yourself to be saved by god. you have to genuinely accept god as your savior. if you do it just to get out of trouble, better pack some hot weather gear, cuz you will be spending all eternity in hell.

Alliance
or...its all a big lie...like all relgion...made up to prove a point to those who are intellignet enough to actually understand it.

Someone could murder 10 people, rape 20 people and be an awful sod their entire life, then all they have to do is get down and pray for forgivness, and that ever forgiving fool does. roll eyes (sarcastic)

Alliance
Yep. Proof that Christianity is still nothing but a large stinky pile of bull.

That's a lie.

Many Christians on this forum believe that if you simp[le accpet Jesus, you are saved, even if you raped a child an 5 minuetes before you die.

where is this PROOF? show me this proof. just because you dont believe in it doesnt mean it does not exist.

Alliance
I'm quite aware that Christianity exists. I actually believe that Christianity exists. I don't believe it corrects.

The proof, which I referenced, is that in many forms of Christianity, you can be Hitler your entire life, but as long as you accept Jesus just before you die, you get straight to Christian heavan.
