Questions to Christians... Options

that is incredible unfair. i know plenty of people who dont have the internet who have heard from me. and u arent reading what i wrote. There are many common beliefs among the religions, but remember every acknowledgement of a higher power is God who is Jesus. if you dont live by the commandments and dont ask for forgiveness you will go to hell. the ten commandments are basic morality and are accepted in some form for many cultures. every person is different and will be judged according to their circumstances.

What I am corcerning is the Hindus' and other religions where there are more than one God. They believe in reincarnation and there are thousands and thounsands of Hindu Gods. Basically, they just pick one to worship. But in essence as you are saying, there is only one universal being. So basically for those who live in 3rd world countries under national isolation, won't hear about God or that you only die once. Although all religion provides basic morals and how to live a good life without "sins," some don't know about God and his gift.

All this talk about god makes me feel ishy and bad, and I'm pretty sure that's not the reaction I'm supposed to have.

[sikdragon]

im not sure what ishy is but on one side you have one that is arguing about the morality of God, and then me and that other guy answering. that is why we have missionaries. and God can talk to people, have you ever thought of that?

[sporadic]

The one person that god spoke to that I'm thinking of right now was burned at the stake, and everyone thought she was a witch.

And yes, I have thought of that.

The thought of dedicating myself to god makes me feel uncomfortable and wrong.

Tell that to the people who died without knowing God exists. Trillions of people died in the past without knowing anything about God. They are burning in Hell right now because they didn't know about God.

If indeed true that God talks to a person, how does one know if it isn't the Devil speaking? If God loves us so, He would have sent a more clearer and global message so everyone would know in time before they die. Satan can only be at one place at one time, but God is everywhere. Why didn't God use everything in His power to give out that message?

u havent read anything i have said. that is taken into consideration in judgement. we dont know they are in hell.

why does it make u feel uncomfortable?

I have read what you wrote, but you first stated that you need to believe in Jesus Christ to go to Heaven. That's what every source I look up tell me, that in a point in life before you die, if you haven't acknowledged Jesus Chirst, you will go to Hell.

DON'T BE CAUGHT DEAD WITHOUT JESUS!

You may have made some terrible mistakes in your life. There may be some things in your life you would give anything to be able to change. But friend, I assure you — if you die without Jesus Christ — it'll be the worst mistake you could possibly make!

Has there ever come a time and a place in your life, when you received Jesus Christ as your personal Savior?

If not, you are on the way to hell!

Don't let anyone convince you that when you die it will be all over! The Bible says in Hebrews 9:27:

    "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this THE JUDGMENT." Hebrews 9:27

Revelation 20:15 says:

    "And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the LAKE OF FIRE." Revelation 20:15

If you've never received Jesus Christ as your Savior, bow your head this minute and ask the Lord Jesus Christ to save you.Don't put it off another second!

0, I am fairly sure that I'm going into the ground.

I'm not sure exactly why I feel like it, it's just how I feel. I couldn't and I won't dedicate myself to an alleged God, because I would feel like I'm only doing it because I don't want to go to Hell.

[xnastyninjagrlx]

Yeah, that's a really good point.

But it's like.. God is testing your faith. Like, let's say everyone's telling you to pick the present on your right because it has candy. But the present on your left is coal. Except you can't trust the people who are telling you to choose that present. God is trusting you to pick the right present.

Funny that I'm explaining this, because I'm mostly an Athiest.

Actually GOD DOES test you FAITH..

just like he did with Abraham..he had only ONe son
but God needed to know if he was faithful
to him so he told Abraham to go to the mountain and
kill his one and only son. Right when Abraham was
about to kill his son, God told him to stop cuz he
saw how Abraham was so faithful.

Jesus is The higher power that everyone knows about.

u say ur going to the ground why is that
u kno taht if u believe that jesus died 4 u...i garantee u taht u will go 2 heaven...u dont have 2 worry about serving god right now....just worry about going 2 heaven or hell....once u believe that jesus died 4u...boom the holy spirit will hook u up believe me....are u willing 2 accept jesus as ur savior?? wat do u have 2 lose?

[sporadic]

My self-respect and convictions?

[Mini]

he knows.

You can't assume that. Communism had the Iron Curtain, communism controlled everything. So you can't say he knows that.

[raw_material]

Actually to know Jesus Christ is just part of it. Most people know about the Bible and Jesus Christ. Heck, even the Devil knows Jesus Christ. He knows that he is the all mighty God. THe difference is that we shouldn't only Know who Jesus is..but we should have a stable and relationship with God. He is not going to let you go to Heaven, JUST because you know him...cuz a lot of ppl know him but really haven't "walked" with him. Get iT??

[sporadic]

What I believe in. If I just gave in and said I believed in God and that Jesus Christ was my Saviour, I would be lying. And that is wrong. When I am ready to believe in God and Jesus I will know it.

No duh. That's what I am saying for all those unfortunate people who didn't know about God and Jesus yet alone have a stable relationship with God.

[sikdragon]

good for you sister. and you will know it.

once u believe in jesus as ur savior....the holy spirit and god will work in ur life...even do u want 2 lie saying u dont 2 dedicate ur life 2 god....change will happen even when u least expect it..

just like xnastyninjagrlx said even the Devil knows Jesus Christ. He knows that he is the all mighty God. THe difference is that we shouldn't only Know who Jesus is..but we should have a stable and relationship with God. He is not going to let you go to Heaven, JUST because you know him...cuz a lot of ppl know him but really haven't "walked" with him....one u believe god will provide ways 2 worship him...its good and awesome 2 believe...but u also gotta play ur roll and walk with god

[sporadic]

I don't think you get it. If I lied and said that I completely and fully believed in Jesus and God, that's like asking to get sent to Hell. Or maybe you did get that, I just wanted to make sure that would be acknowledged.

[sikdragon]

yeah but if you were sorry then you wouldnt go to hell. and im sorry you feel that way. I still love you tho.

I don't even worship Buddha or talk to him that much. I am not a very religious person. Even if I believe in God and Jesus, and I talk to the universal being. Does that mean I still go to Hell because I don't worship him or read the Bible?
