Episode #054: Scott Adams And Deathbed Conversions


Listen Later

Is it ever too late to turn to God? In this episode, Clint Archer and Will Brannon tackle the controversy of deathbed conversions and the recent public statement by Scott Adams  (creator of Dilbert) regarding his faith. 

From the repentance of the "most wicked king" Manasseh to the classic example of the thief on the cross, Clint and Will discuss whether God’s grace truly covers a lifetime of rebellion in a person's final hours.  The duo explores the biblical reality of late-life professions of faith. 

They also break down:
    The Parable of the Vineyard Workers: Why God's "unfair" grace is the heart of the Gospel.
    Pascal’s Wager: The danger of treating faith as a "risk-reward calculation" or fire insurance.
    The Bare Minimum: What a person must actually believe in their heart to be saved.

Whether you're curious about the limits of forgiveness or wondering why "getting right with God later" is a dangerous gamble, this episode offers a clear, biblical perspective on the power of grace at the finish line.
