Godfearer, was a term applied pre-Christ to Gentiles who liked Jewish morality and monotheism, and sometimes went to synagogue, but never actually joined the religion. That might be a good term for your views.
That's very interesting. I had no idea such people existed in significant numbers.
I felt the same way when I discovered it. They died out pretty quickly after the resurrection though, as they made up much of Christianity's first converts.
The term itself kind of reminds of Pascal's wager ante litteram though, doesn't it? Pascal's wager is not one of the Christian ideas I find of much interest.
It sounds like it, but I'm not so sure. What was the state of Jewish views of the afterlife at the time? It wouldn't really apply if they believed mainly in Sheol, since Sheol doesn't really discriminate
That's beyond my knowledge though.
I never really dealt with Pascal's wager tbh. It's impossible under Reformed sotieriology anyway so I never really thought about it.
