Re: Evidence AGAINST Christianity
[ QUOTE ]
The point being you don't truly believe God would be just to condemn you, otherwise it is over and you wouldn't try.

I don't try in the sense of earning God's favor through good works. "Salvation is by grace through faith." It is a "gift of God, not according to works, that no one should boast."
And I do truly believe God would be just in condemning me. "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God". "There is NONE righeous, no NOT ONE".

You have faith and do good acts so that possibly one day God would be just to reward you with heaven.

Yes - faith for salvation, "good works which God prepared beforehand that I should walk in them" for reward. But "what do I have that I have not received?". God is "just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Christ" because Christ died for our sins - but for His work on the cross all mankind would be condemned.
