How about the other sheep that I mentioned in the question? If you were born in a Muslim or Jewish or Budist country, it is likely you will be one! In some cases you would be killed, etc. if you didn't follow Mom and Dad's religion. How about them? Hell for eternity? | ||||||

Hi, newoldstock! First parameters must be set: are you talking philosophically or are you defining Christianity? Philosophy: anything can be your goal since anything is a god ergo do what you want to do. Christianity: John 14:6. There's no other way to be saved! When we read the Bible, everything points to Jesus! He died for our salvation; and though it is free for the asking, Jesus demands that we change our lives and Worship God above all else! He said that the Father calls all humanity to Him (Christ) so that we can all be saved. Alas!, not all decide to answer God's call. Hence not all will be saved. You mention several religious groups--and the people from such organizations that risk their life to believe in Christ... Even today there are places in the world that if a person is caught with a Bible or a page from the Bible they could be imprison indefinitely or even killed; these are the true martyrs. They are subjugated or put to death for His Name: No one can hurt you if you are determined to do only what is right; and blessed are you if you have to suffer for being upright. Have no dread of them; have no fear. Simply proclaim the Lord Christ holy in your hearts, and always have your answer ready for people who ask you the reason for the hope that you have. But give it with courtesy and respect and with a clear conscience, so that those who slander your good behaviour in Christ may be ashamed of their accusations. And if it is the will of God that you should suffer, it is better to suffer for doing right than for doing wrong. Christ himself died once and for all for sins, the upright for the sake of the guilty, to lead us to God. In the body he was put to death, in the spirit he was raised to life, (1 Peter 3:13-18). Here's our hope in Christ: Jesus said: I am the resurrection. Anyone who believes in me, even though that person dies, will live, and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this? (John 11:25-26) Religion does not save! The Masters of the Law, the Sadducees and Pharisees were very religious--but they did not believe in Christ! If you follow anyone for the sake of fellowship and not because they follow Christ it would be like the blind leading/following the blind. Jesus tell us that there will be a selection made and God will choose between people that are together in various situations: (Luke 17:31-36--check 17:34!). If you are a Christian, study the Scriptures inexhaustibly; if you are not, give yourself to the Lord--begin as soon as you read this message! Jesus, is the Light of the world (John 1:1-18), seek Him and He will grant you Life! God Bless! |
