Yes, there are those who use Jesus as a fire escape.Who cares about any heavenly rewards. An afterlife is good enough for me, nonexistence is terrifying.
[pedantic] Immortality (salvation) is not a reward, it's a gift. [/pedantic]

That is correct.A gift would imply it was unconditional.
That is correct.
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Grace =

Same here.I guess I will see you in heaven then, regardless of what I do with the rest of my life here.
A gift would imply it was unconditional. Quite clearly it is a reward.
So of course it's not unconditional otherwise everyone would receive it. It's a reward.
Well the Bible says otherwise, so guess what my next three words are going to be.I think what he's saying, AV, is that it isn't a gift, per se, because it is conditional. You have to accept Jesus as your lord and personal savior to get to heaven. You wouldn't have to do anything, if it's a "gift."
We don't have to dig deep enough to "see" into the earth. We can do that with seismic waves. We know what's in there, and there is no hell there. None whatsoever. You do really understand this, don't you?

The Bible says something other than accepting Jesus is the way to get to heaven? This is news to me.
Oh good grief. Why doesn't the Bible mention the nickel and the iron or any of the other materials found there?
Anyway, your article says that the center is solid iron (with some impurities) with a molten outer layer. Where are the billions of suffering people going to fit here? The article didn't mention Lucifer being found there, either.
Yes, there are those who use Jesus as a fire escape.
What would you think of a person who asks a fireman to save his life, then later denies firemen exist?
I thought we were talking about CabVet, who ... I assume ... at one time prayed and asked Jesus Christ into his life to be His Lord and Saviour, and has since become a non-believer?Not a good example, because you actually physically see the fireman.
No offense, but this isn't about you -- is it?If I ...

It's about CabVet.
So, yes ... that is a good example.
LOL!!
It is in there somewhere. How could it? Science can't even test the supernatural and supernatural beings.
