I would.
The reward of heaven is not the only reason one believes.
But also without an afterlife what is the purpose of life? Are we more than dust that has evolved? If not, then why is there outrage about injustice when someone enslaves or hurts someone else? Would that not be dust engaging with more dust in a meaningless swirl of life?
I struggle to find what the meaning of life would be without believing there is something after this life.
Even without heaven as a reward for accepting Christ, one would still lead a life that served others even though it may not matter since without a heaven you would just die forever.
What pursuits would matter in life? Money? Status? Power?
I guess I would also pose the question back to you. Would you believe in God if you knew there was a heaven and would one day be held accountable for everything you have done in your life if you decided not to follow Christ?
You make a good point. I definitely appreciated your question @serejandmyself and respect your insight as well.
Thnaks, i think we all need to agree on disagreeing as it all going in circles. Thanks for the open answer
Yes absolutely. It is not my duty to change your beliefs, nor do I feel that anyone should impose upon another's beliefs. I think sharing your beliefs if a user asks or you feel you can respectfully contribute something to the conversation is what should be done.
Trying to "convert" someone gives an air of superiority. But if you share what you personally believe in a kind way, you will then let the person come to their own conclusion whether or not that turns out to be agreeing with out or not.
It is valuable to engage with many different beliefs and philosophies to shape your own and make you question why you believe what you believe.
