When an athiest does a good deed, there is no reason for him to do it, other than to show kindness to another human being';
What are your thoughts? Is this true or false and why?
Thank you.Do you think this statement is true or false?
Not strictly true.
Doesn't matter if one is Christian or atheist -- some people care about their fellow man and some don't.
It's not connected to belief in God or not....
I'm Christian, and want to do the right thing by my fellow man - and sometimes go out of my way to do it. So please don't put me in a box with any sort of label.
Thank you and God bless : )
Oh and only through believing in Jesus Christ do we have passage to heaven -- not through doing 'good deeds'Do you think this statement is true or false?
Thank you for ur vote. I'm sad u feel this way, i truly am.Will you allow me to at least try to explain? when one accepts Christ as Savior, our love for Him actually drives our heart to help everyone we can.I hope you will meet some Christians who are loving and kind.
be blessed x

Jesus came to redeem mankind back to God - we have a choice to make accept Christ or reject Him - Christians have accepted Him, this is the only difference.
Look to Jesus Christ if your looking for love, truth, righteousness, and justice.

False. It can be wonderfully satisfying to help another. As a literacy tutor, I get almost a tutor's high, like a runner's high, when I hear a child who thought he was stupid read a paragraph or--this always half-kills me--a 40-something reading a newspaper aloud for the very first time. You know that you have worth and have affected another's life for the better. Also, as a Pagan, I believe that you get what you give. If you do good deeds, people will want to do good for you when you need it. People remember.
True or false depend on individual belief system
If I do something with the urge just to get to heaven, what is heaven then?
A place for eternal rules and restrictions, and “freedom”, so ironical.
What happen when I reach heaven, and I did something rude to God?
Now remember eternal, does it means that I can get away with rudeness.
To me,
True love is unconditioned love,
Unconditioned loves do not desire anything in return.
I’m prepare to go anywhere with a calm mind, even to hell.
To Fear of hell, I rather face it.
False.
Good deeds don't get anyone into heaven. You cannot be saved by doing good deeds. In fact, that is the way to hell.
The only way to get into heaven, is by believing the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is this: The only way to be saved and to get into heaven and avoid being sent to eternal hell is by believing that Jesus, who is God, died for our sins on the cross and rose again (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). Believe this and you are saved!
Please pray now: ';Jesus, please forgive me of my sins. I believe that You died on the cross for my sins and You rose again. Thank You for eternal life!'; You will be in heaven with Him forever when you die :)
Its a good point atually,
So in Christianity, athiests can do whatever they want,
Plus I would rather go to hell then heaven if either existed,
I mean the only people who would be able to get into heaven are people who don't know what the meaning of fun is and spend all their time trying to think of another reason to feel guilty.
i like that one, thats interesting. maybe not 100% true all the time, but it's accurate. but it goes back to the question of is there such a thing as true altruism? the answer is no. christians and other religious sheep, i mean followers, only do good because that is what they are told to do Atheist and everyone else only do an amount of good they think they can manage, and then only so they can say i'm a good person and feel good about themselves
I'd make a slight change.
';When a christian does a good deed, he does so thinking that it will ensure he goes to heaven.
When an athiest does a good deed, there is no reason for him to do it, other than to show kindness to another human being';
FALSE. Obviously you need to brush up on Christian theology before you try to make fun. Christians do NOT believe good deeds get you into heaven. Christians believe you have to truly believe in Christ and his teachings and trust in them, and accept him in you heart. Living righteously is a given if you truly believe in Christ
If a Christian does a good deed, it does nothing to get him into Heaven. Good deeds have no value in that respect. The price has been paid by Jesus.
However, if a Christian does not do good deeds, that may be evidence that they are not, in fact, Christian. A Christian should love all, forgive all, show mercy and judge no one.
A Christian does good deeds as a result of his salvation, and not as a means of acquiring salvation.
When an atheist does good deeds, the motivation is irrelevant.
.
Well, it does make sense. Doing good to receive brownie points is selfish and dumb. Not very good at all. Doing good just to be doing good and to make other people happy, though, is actually good.
To the first response: does that mean I can do bad deeds all my life, believe in the gospel of Jusus christ and still get into heaven?
Athiests who do good deeds have no motive and are just satisfied to so.
Partially true, but I think a better way to break this down is like this - There are basically two types of people in this world: Good people, and A - - holes.
Much easier to categorize, right?
false...just because you do something good doesn't mean you have a ';sure spot'; you have to endure to the end....which means you must live your life good til the end of it
Doing 'good deeds' has nothing to do with your religion.
It's your duty to help others.
It has to do with 'moral'.
False....and for those who said ';true'; because deeds earn salvation, please know your understanding of Christian is incomplete..
False.
Good deeds don't get you to heaven if your a Christian, only Christ can get you to heaven.
It's false. How can a person ';know'; something that is a fairy tale. Does the child KNOW that the Tooth Fairy will leave money if he puts his tooth under his pillow?
False..
Doing good deeds will not get you into heaven..
When a Christian does a good deed it should be because God wants him to do it.. Has nothing to do with whether he gets into heaven or not..
true. Because the ulterior motive is the afterlife
false...............the road to hell is paved with good intentions
It is a false statement.
It has been well said that ';religion'; is man’s way of trying to deal with his guilt. Different religions have different ways of attempting to rid their adherents of sin and its consequences. They fast, pray, deny themselves legitimate pleasures, or chasten themselves, often to a point of inflicting pain. They do this because they have a concept of what they think God (or ';the gods';) is like, so they seek to establish their own righteousness, being ';ignorant of God’s righteousness.'; The Good News of the Christian faith is that no one need suffer the pains of religious works. Christ’s blood can cleanse our conscience from the ';dead works'; of religion (Hebrews 9:14). Jesus took our punishment upon Himself, and He is the only One who can save us from sin and death. See Acts 4:12 and John 14:6.
