    What About Other Religions?

    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...

    What About Other Religions?

    Does it bother you that you do not quote God's word, but rather the word of man (the followers of Christ)?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...

    What About Other Religions?

    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...

    What About Other Religions?

    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...

    What About Other Religions?

    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...

    What About Other Religions?

    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...

    What About Other Religions?

    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...

    What About Other Religions?

    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...

    What About Other Religions?

    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...

    What About Other Religions?

    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...

    What About Other Religions?

    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...

    What About Other Religions?

    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...

    What About Other Religions?

    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...

    What About Other Religions?

    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...

    Searching for Understanding

    I suppose I have always just been skeptical as to whether or not the words of the Bible are God's true words. The best analogy I have for my view is that the Bible is like asking someone to vote for you. They can come back and say that they voted "this way", but when it comes down to it they...

    Searching for Understanding

    I have read neither the new nor the old testament so I cannot comment on whether I believe Jesus is concealed in the old testament as I have had no exposure to it.When I was growing up I always had faith that there was a God, I still do. I have complete Faith in the existence of a God, what I...

    Searching for Understanding

    I see. So if I have faith in God and believe in Jesus, but have no faith in Jesus, then I should consider myself a Jew as they have faith in the One God, but not in Jesus. And as it seems, the way you described things, it matters not that I accept Jesus so long as I bothA) Have faith in the...
