Episode: The Necessity of Belief
The sermon referenced Pascal's work, "Pensees" and described the author's belief that every person has a specific faith view about God and that we are all betting our eternal destiny on our belief being the correct one.
Blaise Pascal the great philosopher in his book Poncez puts it this way and I hear a little summary of it Blaise Pascal says every person on the face of the earth is making a high stake life commitment to a particular faith view about God.
Every person on the face of the earth is making a high stake life commitment to a particular faith view about God why? Well you see if you believe in God you can't prove that huh but if you believe there is no God you can't prove that position and if you think well there is a God but it doesn't really matter what you believe because it's not going to make any difference and you can't prove that position and whatever your position is it's a particular faith view of God and you're betting your eternal destiny you're right because if you're wrong the consequences could be dire and so Blaise Pascal says there is nobody out there in spite of their claims that doesn't isn't making radical spiritual faith commitments based on your entire life and destiny on certain views about God and about human nature and about spiritual reality
