Week 6 Dialogue Blaise Pascal (162362) was a French philosopher, evangelist and mathematician, who is considered by many the father of probability theory. In order to sow the seed (Matthew 13) into the minds (Holy Spirit will convict) of a group of notorious alcoholic gamblers residing in his township; Blaise Pascal developed a polemic for the belief in Jesus Christ as one's Lord and Savior that became known as "Pascal's Wager." The Wager is directed to unbelieving skeptics, who say there is no God, Jesus Christ or they do not know Jesus, the great I am. The Wager explains to the non-believers that they have gambled incorrectly in that they have everything to lose, and nothing to gain from their unbelief. Conversely, if they believe in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, they may have the advantage of living a better life (following God's Word) and when this pilgrimage is over; they will have an eternity in Paradise with God rather than an eternity in hell. A Win. If the skeptic is correct and God does not exist, than the skeptic has still lived a better life by following the Words of God. A Win. Therefore, by following Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior; it is a Win Win. "For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more. And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law; To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law. To the weak became l as weak, that I might gain the weak: lam made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you" (1 Cor. 9:1923, KJV). Deliverables: In an initial post of at least 300 words, if not more; respond to the following: Outline in detail your witness polemic on how you would witness to a drunken gambler, an unbelieving skeptic; who says there is no God, Jesus Christ or does not knowJesus, the great I am? Focus more on your polemic than on the shortcomings (if any, real or imagined) of Pascal's Wager. Emphasis is on winning souls. Business as Missions! \"The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise" (Prov. 11:30, KJV)
