My brother is an atheist. Help?
I accept what the Bible says and I believe that even though you can be a good person without being a Christian, if you do not accept Jesus as your savior you will go to Hell forever when you die.
This hits home with me especially since my brother is an atheist. He has been one for over ten years. Every SINGLE time I try to bring up religion he shuts off and doesn't listen. I don't know what else to do. He says there is no way he could ever come back to Christianity without any significant scientific evidence.
I am worried about him. He is a good person. He does volunteer work and he is a good father. There is about a ten year difference between our ages and he helped me out when our parents got a divorce. I don't want him to go to Hell. What would happen if he got in a car wreck and died tomorrow?
Has anyone else gone through this?
Answer : I was a good person going to hell.
The only difference between a "good person" and a "bad person" is that a bad person never learned socially acceptable ways of getting what they want.
Neither are "good" in God's eyes without Christ in their lives.
