Nolte: Scott Adams Says ‘This Might Be the Last Show,’ Will Convert to Christianity

[Hol]

Dilbert creator Scott Adams warned that his Thursday podcast might be his last.

Adams opened his podcast explaining how he’s now having difficulty staying awake, and that his exhaustion and slurred voice have nothing to do with any medication. “Today’s going to be a tough one,” he said. “Because I fell asleep about five times just getting ready” for the show.

Adams announced his prostate cancer diagnosis last May, and that the cancer had already “spread to my bones.”

At the time, he wasn’t certain he would last the summer. He did. But earlier this month, he announced his chances of surviving were now down to zero and that he expected to “transition” sometime in January. Since then, he’s become noticeably weaker.

…

“I’ve not been a believer,” Adams explained. “You’re going to hear for the first time today that it is my plan to convert [to Christianity]. I still have time,” he added. “My understanding is that you’re never too late.”

“So, to my Christian friends, yes, it’s coming.”

Scott Adams died today.

I pray he got saved in time!!!

I pray he got saved in time!!!

Hopefully he ignored all the Catholic vultures feasting on him and put a simple trust in Jesus for salvation.
Most unbelievers dont know the difference between Christian and RCC dogma.

 

[LydiaJoy]

This is exactly what he wrote right before he died:

"Many of my Christian friends have asked me to find Jesus before I go. I’m not a believer, but I have to admit the risk-reward calculation for doing so looks attractive. So, here I go:

I accept Jesus Christ as my lord and savior, and I look forward to spending an eternity with him. The part about me not being a believer should be quickly resolved if I wake up in heaven. I won’t need any more convincing than that. And I hope I am still qualified for entry."

It's such an odd statement.

Pinned : A Final Message From Scott Adams

 

[LydiaJoy]

I found the below interesting, I had never heard of “Pascal’s Wager" before.

Adams’s position is essentially a rendering of the famous philosophical argument known as “Pascal’s Wager,” which was developed by French theologian and apologist Blaise Pascal. The crux of the argument is that you have more to gain and less to lose by “wagering” on God’s existence. In short, it is better to live as though God exists and then discover he doesn’t then to live as though God doesn’t exist and then discover too late that he does. Therefore, the most prudent choice is to believe.

Unfortunately, like many others who have come before him, Adams appears to misunderstand the intention behind the famous argument. The Wager was not intended to provide a purely rational contingency plan to escape hell and enjoy paradise instead. The Wager represents the start rather than the end of the spiritual journey. Pascal used logic to motivate skeptics to take the question of God’s existence seriously, a decision he hoped would ultimately lead to an encounter with God.

Thus, “Pascal’s Wager” is an echo of the biblical invitation to “taste and see that the Lord is good” (Psalm 34:8).

The Wager represents the start rather than the end of the spiritual journey.

Very true and Scott Adams would have been only starting.

I’ve followed him on X for years and he was often too skeptical about everything for me. He had a bitter edge.

When I heard him announcing his last podcast and he spoke to becoming a Christian, there was a tenderness in his voice. I can’t say that means he’s with Jesus now, but I tend to think he is!

 

[Work4Peanuts]

I run up against Romans 10:9. He confessed with his mouth, but stated he didn't believe in his heart. I hope and pray that when he actually prayed, that he was so overwhelmed by Jesus' presence, that he truly did end up believing before it was too late.

Because, as it stands, based only on what he said, it doesn't look too good.

but nothing is impossible for God...

 

[Hol]

I believe in deathbed confessions.

I came to Jesus as an adult and when I first got saved I would have said all kinds of doubtful ignorant things. It’s taken me years to shake off my lifetime of anti-biblical thoughts and vocabulary. One funny thing is that I was 2-yr old in the Lord when I first heard the word ‘hermeneutics’! I was learning a new vocabulary and that’s a slower process the older you are.

Recently I heard a preacher pointing out that heart can not embrace (believe) what the mind does not think is correct. I’m not putting as much weight on his words as others are. If he was beginning to seek Christ, to soften his mind towards belief, his heart may have responded to believing in Jesus in ways that he had no vocabulary to describe.

We’ll find out soon!

God is able to save to the uttermost, He needs only our acceptance. He is the one who knows the thoughts and intentions of the heart. We intellectualize the process, but He cuts to the heart. Our saying yes may be as feeble and as last minute as the thief on the cross beside Jesus, not perfect theologically, not thought out, just a cry for help.

Whether in the head -and feelings would follow later given time that the dying person doesn't have OR in the heart -and understanding would follow later given time that the dying person doesn't have.

God will always answer those who cry out to Him.

Less than a minute, and it says it all!

What we have here is a guy who was self-analyzing his own newfound faith. Hoping it would be good enough. What comes to my mind is
“Lord, I believe. Help me with my unbelief.”

And I believe 100% that the Holy Spirit got ahold of this guy as he lay there dying, and helped him with his unbelief.
Its like the prodigal son. Just a couple steps toward the Father, with a sincere heart, and He will run out there to meet you.

 

[LydiaJoy]

I wonder who will be the person who was saved the closest to the time of their death. There must be many over all these years that waited until the very last second and is now with Jesus, so there are probably many ties.
