I do not mean to question your devotion to Christ, but a true Christian recognizes that the Bible is not God's word. God neither wrote nor narrated the New Testament as He did with the Old Testament and it (the New Testament) was not written by a prophet - it was written by apostles of Christ...

Does it bother you that you do not quote God's word, but rather the word of man (the followers of Christ)? You make claims as to the destination of man, but cite only the word of man as proof; for the New Testament is not the Word of God. If you believe Jesus is the Word then you must accept the...

Adstar, I appreciate you taking time out to answer some of my questions and I greatly enjoyed reading your insight. In regards to my last question - the one about the 613 commandments and why Christians do not follow them - I still wonder what your reasoning is. If it is in the New Testament...

Well I suppose you don't have to bother if it pleases you not to. I asked because I noticed, like I said earlier, that some Christians believe other Religions have a lot in heaven and some Christians do not. It is evident even in this community that there is a difference of opinion. This...

I apologize James, I did not mean to single you out, I am just tired of asking questions and getting "read" as a response. It seems that when people don't know the answer instead of saying "I don't know" they just say "read" as if it is I that missed something along the way. Samuel comes back...

Well I came here to learn - to question and to receive answers. You tell me to read Romans, do you think I have not already done this? I spent the last year reading and re-reading the texts as members of THIS COMMUNITY encouraged. They told me, "you will understand when you read... Read, and...

I understand what you said - you are saying you must place your faith in Christ to be saved. But you ALSO said that Christ was God (IE: Christ = God). My question was, if a Jew or a Muslim places their faith in God, are they not, by transitive property, placing their faith in Christ? Muslims...

I wish you would explain that "No" a little more in depth, but I understand the concept of the Trinity is hard to explain - it must be because it makes no sense to me (clearly). I never thought of it like that, there is no real reason to assume that God would WANT to save all people anymore...

So when Jews say they have placed their faith in God they are by default accepting Christ? Or when Muslims say they place their faith in God they are also placing their faith in Christ? Then would you agree all paths are paths to salvation so long as that path is adhered too? Not exactly. I am...

There is but One God, is there not? Deut 6:4 - "Hear, O Israel: The Lord is our God; the Lord is one." And how do you reconcile Christ's just judgment of those who do not accept him with the idea of predestination? Romans 8:28 - And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who...

John 13:16 "I tell you the truth, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him." John 13:20 "I tell you the truth, whoever accepts anyone I send accepts me; and whoever accepts me accepts the one who sent me." Jesus acknowledges he is not the most...

Oh sorry, I did not mean "you" as in "you, gumby" I meant the universal "you" as in "a person". Thank you for clarifying. So Christians, at least some, do believe other devoutly religious people (namely Jews and Muslims) will be saved on the final day of judgment because they believe in the One...

No Jew believes that - if they do then they are Christians. Muslims believe Jesus lived and was a prophet (he is quoted in the Qur'an), but they believe he did not die on the cross and therefore could not have died for their sins. They believe each man is responsible for his own actions and...

I attended a local christian outreach program and had the chance to ask some questions to some local Christians. Here is what I concluded: - You must believe in Christ - You must believe he died for your sins - You must believe he was God. That seemed easy enough, but when I asked them, "Will...
