Will You Be Good Without God When You Go to Hell?

God said that there would be people that would deny Him. In God's Word, in Psalms 14:1, "The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good." A professional atheist says that he can discuss the important topics of life on the basis of science. What will he do when he comes into the presence God, and God says to him, "Depart from me, I never knew you," and then is cast into Hell? We may have the science of medicine to deal with a great deal of diseases, but there are still diseases that have no cure. All things that we have are created by God, even science. Everything has a detailed description in the mind of God, and He asks that we seek Him for the answers. King Solomon sought to find fulfillment through everything under the sun, but coming to the end of his life, he understood that all was vanity. Psychology can try to explain the deeper thoughts of man, but it is sin that is the cause of all the mental disarray. We can try to rely on man for our needs, but what will you do when man is gone? God is the One that we need to rely on, because He will bring us into eternity. What is your eternal state? Are you oblivious to your soul's state? I know my soul's state and I am covered by the blood of my Savior and have a home in Heaven.

Again, psychology wants to psychoanalyze man's well-being, but that only makes things worse. People assume that Christianity is a religion. Religion is defined as "a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, esp. when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs."
(courtesy of http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/religion) Our purpose is to honor and glorify God. To call God a superhuman is blasphemy. He is God and not a glorified man or a good teacher as some would say. A good, moral person will not see Heaven, because he has lived a good life. Traditions and rituals are part of religion's guise to make man look good. We can be a part of all the traditions and rituals of religion, and not get any closer to God. As Pastor said this past Sunday, that is not about religion, but a relationship with God. Our morals are as "filthy rags."

Sam Harris (professional atheist) says that "It is better alleviate famine in Africa because you think Jesus Christ is watching and deciding whether to reward you with an eternity of happiness after death? Or is it better to do that because you actually care about the suffering of your fellow human beings?" Is he trying to equate Jesus with Saint Nicholas? We have given Christ a bad name all in the name of holiness. I cannot proclaim it enough, we are all sinners and we have all sinned against God. Apart from God; we are lost. I want to say on behalf of all God's people, we do care about people, but most of all we care about their souls.

Sam makes another statement about science, "Science is the most durable and non-divisive way of thinking about the human circumstance. It transcends cultural, national, and political boundaries. You don't have American science versus Canadian science versus Japanese science." The human circumstance is far worse than Sam can see. Science can get you only so far, but it cannot get you to God. We have continually worked to translate the Word of God, so that the whole world can know Christ.

If we begin to compromise the things of Christ; then we compromise ourselves and all those we care about. We know the nature of the world and it is not because of science, it is because of Christ.

As the title of this post poses the question, Will you be good without God when you go to Hell, if you choose science you have chosen the world's wisdom.

Is your soul eternally secure? Or are you worried about your physical security? God will protect His people.
