Is there a second chance after death?

On April 30, 2019 there was a shooting in a UNC Charlotte classroom. Two people died and four were injured. The following semester Dr. Frank Turek and Dr. Rice Broocks to reach the hurting students and answer their questions. Since God wants all to be saved and we have incomplete information in this life, will God give us a second chance after death? Dr. Frank Turek and Dr. Rice Broocks respond that what keeps most people out of the Kingdom is not their head but their heart.

@Matt Smith God doesn't send us to hell. We send ourselves. Bible never says torture, it says torment.

[@pigzcanfly444]

@Matt Smith why do you think that God wants you to be "tortured" for not believing in Him? What verses are you quoting that concept from? It clearly says that there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth meaning that you will regret the inability to renounce and repent of your ways if you die in your sin and you will become quarantined with all others that did likewise in what we call he'll which is simply a holding place that also includes the spirits of the departed nephilim and fallen ones that chose to leave their dwelling at the creation. If there is any "torture" it would be at the hands of those entities not because God willed it. My understanding is that none in hell will repent ever because they choose not to and that is the real problem.

And part of that truth quest requires looking at ancient Sumerian religion, Canaanite religion, and the dying and rising god archetype.

[@whitescar2]

Indeed. And that's a great point to get across to your flock. "If you're miserable, that's not because your focus is on paying our congregation. Don't focus on your misery or try to improve your lot in life. This is only a fleeting moment. Just stay docile, accept the pain, and be happy that we told you the truth. That is far more important than making a difference in this world-on the promise that there will be anything afterwards."

Yes, all little ones who die will go to heaven. It is written in scripture: "He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels." -Revelation 3:5 (KJV) "And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book." -Revelation 22:19 (KJV) Every human being born had their names already written in the book of life. It is when we all sin (age of accountability, meaning when we're old enough to know between good & evil) and then make our life choice whether to accept Lord Christ Jesus or not, then after we die we are judged. If we are found righteous through the Blood of the Lamb then our names will still be in the book of life. If we are found guilty of sin then God will REMOVE our names in the book of life. Our Father is perfect, fair, just, and loving. He knows the little ones' minds are too little to understand between good & evil. Their names are in the book of life. You already had faith in God's Word. Bless you for that. I just wanted to share our beautiful, wonderful, Lord Christ Jesus a little more.

It would be so sad to see someone on the outside looking in at people they thought never heard the gospel. Don’t let your perception of what someone else knows or doesn’t know keep you from accepting the truth. Put your trust in Jesus, confess him as your Savior and Lord. Follow him and you will be saved!!!

[@poliincredible770]

Awesome American Atheist the evidence is the changed lives. People who hated Jews and Christians and actually were on a mission to kill them now love them. People who were empty inside now have joy. People who were suicidal now want to live. The point of missionaries and anyone who serves God in any capacity is to work along side God. The Bible makes it clear that He is actually at work in us performing good works and causing our work to be effective for His glory. These “no preaching conversions” simply illustrate just how much God wants people to know Him. Even in areas where proclaiming the gospel is illegal for humans, God will speak directly to people’s hearts.

[@poliincredible770]

Awesome American Atheist, you are correct, all ideologies change lives. However, not all change is equal in quality. The difference highlighted in Christian conversions is qualitatively superior to that of other ideologies. The people we’re talking about live in oppressive societies. They were depressed, empty, suicidal, hate-filled, etc. as a result of adherence to the fundamental teachings of that an erroneous ideology. This is not a blanket generality, if you read the C0r0n it teaches these tenants. Christ teaches us to love God and love our neighbors as ourselves. Doing so has resulted in love, joy, peace, patience, self-control, etc. for those who accept Christ. This is a qualitative improvement indicating Christ is superior. You say “if God has the ability to convert people without... sending missionaries, and it is a superior method... then it makes no sense... to preach...” Respectfully, I never said it was a superior method, I only stated that it happens. It does make sense to preach on a number of levels: (1) because God rewards us for sharing our testimony with others. (2) We grow in compassion for others when we see their pain and know there is a better way to live so we share the hope of Christ. Atheism has no objective moral standard so it boils down to survival of the fittest. If an atheist helps a fellow human animal out that’s nice, but if he doesn’t there’s nothing to say he is obligated to do so. The results in Communist societies are disastrous. (3) When we share our faith we become more like God. He sent his Son with a message of hope, love, forgiveness, and grace. When we study his life and prepare ourselves well to share this message we can’t help but be more forgiving, more loving, more gracious, more generous, etc. As a result, statistics show that Christian nations are the most humanitarian places in the world. If you’re interested in contradictions here’s one: have you ever noticed that atheists don’t want to live in countries that are controlled by atheists? There is a reason why people flee non-Christian regions to find refuge in Christian regions. Christ is qualitatively superior.

[@Kevin-nr9hp]

Awesome American Atheist it’s amazing how atheists think that evidence (even though they beg for evidence) will actually change and turn to Christ. As if this is a logical, frontal lobe roadblock. Just ask yourself one little question... if Christianity was true, would you believe?

Urrcreavesh I believe that God torturing a sinner is a lie that the Devil came up with. God never wants to torture anybody. Hell is basically a universe/place that exists with the complete absence of God. We make a choice of going there God doesn’t choose for us. If God is everything good and glorious than it makes sense that eternity without him would be full of eternal fire and suffering. I believe in a merciful God and a righteous God who will always do that which is just. So I do not believe God will send all people to hell just because they did not come to know the truth of salvation. I believe he will do that which is right.

@Shem Charlie Paradero Don’t be. God gave them the free will to be atheists; even if they take choices away from others, it glorifies Him even more because it’s part of His purpose. All we need to remember as Christians is that there is one absolute, so even if atheists rebel, they’re actually using their own sense of morality to supersede it - in other words, their view of right and wrong. That authority has also been given to them, and although they’re free to exercise it, conditionally they need to weigh out the pros and cons, assess and hypothesise by asking themselves questions like, “Is this gonna work? How is it gonna turn out?”, and ultimately come to a moral conclusion even if they find a pretext for their choices. And that’s part of the absolute

[@siddislikesgoogle]

If the Scriptures explicitly said we have a second chance to repent after death, no one would even try to reach for salvation during life. It's for the best that it remains a mystery.

[@ChfHappySack]

I'd like to add to this and say also that some people that have briefly died and have been brought back to life (via padles, doctors, ect) said that while they were "dead" for about 15-20 mins that they saw hell. And they all say the same thing. There's no hope in hell, there's only torture and pain for eternity. Some of these people even drew paintings of what they saw and it truly was awful. My point is not that we're all going to hell, my point is that there is no 2nd chance after you die. When your flesh is worn out, you're done. That's why it's so critical that we share the truth of Jesus to everyone and save as many souls as we possibly can.

@@PETERJOHN101 That is why I wondered about mentioning about Lazarus and the rich man.

[@WhitePilledSanctuary]

I’m not. The story tells us a few things. One, Jesus used names in Lazarus, so we trust this happened and wasn’t a parable. Second, the rich man is in Sheol/Hades, not the lake of fire prepared for Satan and his demons after the final judgement. We see the rich man has become repentant and displays concern for his brothers, hoping someone could warn them. Thomas Aquinas insisted that wasn’t an act out of love, but I’m inclined to think it is. In the Old Testament, believers went to Abraham’s bosom, or a nice place in Sheol/Hades. Nonbelievers did not, and probably went to a varying form of punishment based upon their sins. If you accept Christ descended for three days before His resurrection, that He was preaching the gospel to save those that would accept Him, we can accept that possibility of a “second chance”. However, one living with free knowledge of the gospel in life and willfully denying it if not outright ridiculing it and blaspheming against the Holy Spirit… Eh. Wouldn’t count on it, but I don’t know whose names are in the Book of Life. I will pray for the deceased as much as I do the living.

By believing in that death and resurrection we are entitled to go to heaven if we follow his works and footsteps that he taught us to follow such as loving the enemies and pray for the enemies and forgiving them and all the things he taught in the bible in the new testament! Jesus Christ said he is the gate to heaven he is the one who decide who goes through the door to heaven and no one can go the other way around!! He said he is the alpha and omega which means the beginning and the end!! He is God who put himself in a human form to come down to save us which we are his creation that he made us all!! If you read the Old Testament and then you start to read the bible which is the New Testament you will understand everything and see for yourself why Christianity is the only true 100 dollar bill and all other beliefs and religions are bunch of fake stuff invented by humans but Christianity when you read the bible you will see for yourself why it is so much different than the rest! Islam is bunch of war and revenge and only doing good to those who do good to you back only!! Hindu and Sikh talks about food and you can not eat meat which is a big problem because you body won’t get the full nutrients and amino acids and therefore these two prove to be just human made stuff because they lead your body to be weaker and not as healthier as other people like Christians because Jesus said to eat from all the food and vegetables he gave us on this earth! Jewish is not completed because Jesus came and they still do not believe he came!! He came and there was more than 40 prophecies about him coming and when he came he fulfilled all of them every single one of them and the Jewish who believed became Christians but those who don’t the remained doing what they think is right which means human cult!! Buddha is not complete because Buddha himself before he died he said he is still missing something and that is Jesus Christ! Christianity is different than the rest because all religions and cults have a book include instructions and some are better than others but Christianity have the gift which is the blood of the lord Jesus Christ that it shed for us all to purify us from our sins because in the past humans broke the law and did many sins so someone have to pay the price and Jesus which is god in flesh decided to come down to pay the price for us that’s why we have the gift no other religion have! Beside the bible which is full of instructions that no other books compare to because Jesus is the only one who said to love the enemies and forgive them!! Which other religion instruct this kind of teaching!!?? Which other religion have what’s called the gift?? We Christians have free will which is the freedom to chose what we like not like any others such as Islam they are instructed in everything even in the meat they eat it has to be done a certain way!!

We talked about this in class. The thing about those in hell is that they chose hell. They chose separation from God, and chose to keep their sinful nature. When they die they won't want to be with God, they just don't want the consequence of that decision. It's not that they want to be in God's presence, it's that they don't want to be in hell. Also one of Jesus' parables about Lazarus and the rich man goes that the rich man while in hell wants Lazarus to go back and warn his family about hell. But Abraham tells him that they won't believe even if someone is raised from the dead. You see it's not the matter of getting a second chance to choose God, it's a matter of escaping punishment while never giving up your life to God.

I think this is a poor interpretation of scripture. *“The people will no longer quote this proverb: ‘The parents have eaten sour grapes, but their children’s mouths pucker at the taste.’ All people will die for their own sins-those who eat the sour grapes will be the ones whose mouths will pucker.* _Jeremiah __31:29__-30_ *He refuses to hurt the poor. He doesn’t charge interest or make excessive profits. He obeys my rules and lives by my laws. He won’t die for his father’s sins. He will certainly live. But his father has oppressed others, robbed his relative, and done what is wrong among his people. So the father will die because of his sin. “But you ask, ‘Why isn’t the son punished for his father’s sin?’ It is because the son has done what is fair and right. He obeyed my rules and followed them. He will certainly live. The person who sins will die. A son will not be punished for his father’s sins, and a father will not be punished for his son’s sins. The righteousness of the righteous person will be his own, and the wickedness of the wicked person will be his own.* _Ezekiel __18:17__-20_ I think it's strange that Christians say that we're condemned because of Adam when the Bible suggests that you are condemned for your own sins. I agree that Adam and Eve broke their covenant with God and caused the fallen world. But I don't think we necessarily _inherited_ a broken relationship; I think it's more accurate to say that every human would have eventually failed in Adam and Eve's shoes so we're merely paying the price for our own current and would-be sins.

Peoples are dying without causes: babies died at birth, birth defects, people died from random accidents, natural disasters, wars, crimes, pandemic, etc. 5. GOD didn't care all of humans sufferings? 6. The Bible has many stories when children suffered because of parent sins: David's child with Batsheba was killed, David descendants punished, etc. (it's too many) GOD didn't have any obligations to save all of us or prevent us from any danger (this world is cursed, remember!).

Secondly, if our crimes are so serious that we will burn in eternity for them, a simple fine that anyone might pay for you would not suffice; you would be facing prison time or even the death penalty.

We would rather not believe and live our lives the way we want rather than worshiping God.

@@hansdemos6510 Your argument makes little sense, you clearly haven't read the bible. God knows what is in your heart, I wouldn't count on a "deathbed conversion." What if you are hit by a bus? It isn't about "your remorse" at all. It's the fact that Jesus took the punishment for your sins, period. Nobody was/is good enough to earn heaven on their own and nobody was/is bad enough that Jesus' grace can't save. That's why Jesus' last words were "it is finished." He had completed everything He came to do.

[@Mike-sd9we]

@Urrcreavesh Not one thing in the bible has ever been proven to be untrue, period. Moreover, the bible correctly predicted many things that have happened since it was written. Jesus said that until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the law until all is accomplished. This means that all that is in the bible will come to pass....the really good thing about that is that is going to occur whether you (or anyone else) believe or not.

[@hansdemos6510]

@@Mike-sd9we Please read my comment carefully. I said that if *you* believe that deathbed conversions are valid, *you* can't argue that it is unreasonable to get a "second chance" to convert after death "as it would give people an excuse to live however they want in this life knowing they’ll get a" shot at redemption anyway. The "God knows your heart" deflection also doesn't work, because what is the difference between conversion out of fear when you are not in mortal danger and conversion out of fear when you are in mortal danger? You can only make that argument if you say that all doubts may be punished with hellfire by your just and merciful god. But let's not quibble over details, Mike.

Then attribute his acts and consider how those would play out among human society. He'd be a manipulator, an egotist, a genocidal war criminal, and petty beyond all reason. If you accept that God is evil and only wants you to have faith so that he can hear more praise from the meat puppets he created, it all starts making much more sense. God created angels to praise him day and night. What makes you believe he made humans any different?

Agree on the first part. Not so much on the second. I mean, first he says that God knows who will choose to convert and thus he extends the life of that individual. Ok, fair enough. But then he also says that children who die before they can convert get exempted, as if God couldn't just have extended their lives as well? Clearly, the far more logical thing is to accept the premise that God, all powerful and all-knowing, can extend the life of any human. Thus, the people who convert late in life God knew would make this "choice" (it's not a *real* choice if God knew the person would choose it, but hey, good enough for Humans), and all the babies and kids that die young just would never have accepted Jesus in their hearts and are all burning in Hell. I don't understand why Frank is shying away from this obvious and simple conclusion. Your baby is burning in hell, because they'd never have chosen God. It's just that simple.
