People can agree or disagree with my analysis if they want to. I don't see the need to type the same points all over again. It's all still there. If, as you suggest, I am a "liar", then people can see that for themselves.

You have no points. Only lies liar boy. Nite liar boy. lol... 😉

People can look at the exchanges between us, the content, what response corresponds to what assertion, and they can decide for themselves.

Don't be a liars wimp.

This kind of "banter" does not serve any good purpose.

If you have true faith, you will have good works; if you live that long. The two cannot be separated. Faith and good works go hand in hand. People who say they have faith but do not have good works, their faith is not true and their faith is dead.However, as the thief on the cross, people who come to God aka Jesus on their death beds are still saved. Even without having done good works.

So do you think this hits the nail on the head?

"God created you in order that you believe in him and worship him and if you do, you will have everlasting life".

If I lead my life under the influence of Jesus' teachings.

If I do good works.

If I strive to avoid immorality and lead as righteous a life as I can,

do you believe I will be "saved" and have everlasting life?

KingDavid403: If you do this, it is clear that you have true faith. So yes.

Even though I am an atheist?

If you're a true atheist,
why would you live your life under the teachings of Jesus?
Why would you do good works in the name of Jesus?
Why would you believe in everlasting life liar boy? LOL... You digging a fairly deep hole for yourself liar boy. lol...

I don't. I believe death is the end.

I think much of what Jesus is purported to have taught during his lifetime makes for a morally sound way to lead one's life. I can't see how I would be doing good works "in the name of Jesus" just because I am impressed and inspired by the Sermon on the Mount.

This is from the OP:

"God created you in order that you believe in him and worship him and if you do, you will have everlasting life".

Do you agree with it? Or is there something that needs to be added?

How so?

I don't know what you mean by the word "true". I am an implicit atheist, not an explicit one [like Ghost of a Duke is]. I define myself as an agnostic atheist.

I don't have any credible reason to believe that there is any such thing as everlasting life. I am an atheist. However, I do believe that much of what Jesus is said to have taught while he was alive makes for a morally sound way to lead one's life.
