Want To Sleep With A Miner

Question

Help answer this question below.

Does God consider it a sin to squander God-given abilities? Like if a genius with looks, likability, and athletic talent lazies their way into a life as an uneducated waiter or busboy, will they burn in Hell for that, assuming no other sins?

    bagicide stayed 10 months too long

    No. First of all, what God considers a good use of our talents and what the world considers a good use of our talents are two totally different things. God really isn't interested in how much money we make, just in how much we serve Him and serve others. A busboy may have more opportunities for service than an athlete. That would be fine with God.

    Secondly, it isn't a case of hell for not using your talents effectively, its less of a reward. Hell is for those who want to be there: those who reject God's offer of heaven, those who hate God, those who associate His name with evil.

    no. the bible says that, assuming the person is a christian, the only unforgivable sin is blasphemy.

    I'm not trying to answer the question, I just want you to keep in mind that you are posting in the general religion's section about a question specifically about Christian thought. Not every religion believes in the same god, believe in the concept of sin, or believes in the existence of a hell-like place/state of being.
