1 | Prescription for living? | Ps 14:1 | Parable | 142592 | ||
A secular friend has suggested that the world would be a better place if we would just live such that it doesn't matter if there is a God or not. What does the bible say about this approach to life, pro or con? I'm interested to know if this principle for living is compatible with a biblical worldview or not. Thanks |

Ps 14:1 The fool has said in his heart,"There is no God." They are corrupt,they have committed abominable deeds;There is no one who does good.I think this verse pretty well sums it up. In Christ, lionheart |

3 | prescription for living, rephrased? | Ps 14:1 | Parable | 142594 | ||
Yes, of course. I agree that respect for God is the beginning of wisdom. But the existence of God is not the question, but rather it concerns the manner of living that is demanded by the requirement that it not matter if a God exists or not. That is (for the sake of communicating with my secular friend) if a God exists, how we live would be acceptable to that God, and if not, that also would be acceptable to everyone else. Or, another way to phrase it, is there any way of living that meets this requirement and would this in fact be compatible with how the bible says we should live? Does the biblical approach to life meet this requirement? I hope this clarifies my question. |

Scripture ... Luke 16:31 "But he said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead.'" People then and today don't care if God exists because they are only concerned about self not being saved ... until they are dead - then it is too late. |
