Is Jesus Christ the only way to Heaven?

This is how you get saved:

Romans 10

8But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,"[d] that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame."[e] 12For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."[f]

Jesus will exonerate you of all transgressions when he died on the Cross read this:

1 Timothy 2:5

For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

1 Thessalonians 5:9

For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Those who oppose Jesus or do not believe in him read this:

1 John 2

22Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a man is the antichrist—he denies the Father and the Son. 23No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.

1 Timothy 6

3If anyone teaches false doctrines and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching, 4he is conceited and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions 5and constant friction between men of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain.

2 John 1:7

Many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.

Jude 1:4

For certain men whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are godless men, who change the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only sovereign and Lord.

Beware of False Prophets and Teachers Claiming to be Christ:

Matthew 24

3As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. "Tell us," they said, "when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?"

4Jesus answered: "Watch out that no one deceives you. 5For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Christ,[a]' and will deceive many.

23At that time if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or, 'There he is!' do not believe it. 24For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect—if that were possible. 25See, I have told you ahead of time.

26"So if anyone tells you, 'There he is, out in the desert,' do not go out; or, 'Here he is, in the inner rooms,' do not believe it. 27For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 28Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.

Many of Your friends and parents will hate you and persecute you for coming to Jesus but do not despair:

Luke 21

12"But before all this, they will lay hands on you and persecute you. They will deliver you to synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors, and all on account of my name. 13This will result in your being witnesses to them. 14But make up your mind not to worry beforehand how you will defend yourselves. 15For I will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict. 16You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers, relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death. 17All men will hate you because of me. 18But not a hair of your head will perish. 19By standing firm you will gain life.

Luke 12

49"I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! 50But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is completed! 51Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. 52From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. 53They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law."

Matthew 24

9"Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13but he who stands firm to the end will be saved. 14And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

But read this for encouragement:

Matthew 5

11"Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

You want proof Jesus is the Christ eh? That is what the Pharisees and teachers of the law demanded proof but none were giving proof, for it is written:

Matthew 12

38Then some of the Pharisees and teachers of the law said to him, "Teacher, we want to see a miraculous sign from you."

39He answered, "A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a miraculous sign! But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. 40For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

Did you notice?

"A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a miraculous sign! But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.

Even if an atheist came back from the dead to warn his other atheist friends of hell the atheist friends whom are alive will not believe because they are stubborn and willfully ignorant. If they cannot believe in the scriptures how are they going to believe the warning from someone who came back from the dead? They aren’t going to believe, for it is written:

Luke 16

The Rich Man and Lazarus

19"There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day. 20At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores 21and longing to eat what fell from the rich man's table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.

22"The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried. 23In hell,[c] where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. 24So he called to him, 'Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.'

25"But Abraham replied, 'Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. 26And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.'

27"He answered, 'Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my father's house, 28for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.'

29"Abraham replied, 'They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.'

30" 'No, father Abraham,' he said, 'but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.'

31"He said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.' "

You need to put your FAITH IN JESUS THE CHRIST!!!

And how about those people who never even heard of the gospel? Since you take the bible literally, it means they are not saved. Nowhere does it say the fate of thoes who didn't hear of Jesus, and Christians are divided on this.

And what about those who heard the gospel but understood it in a completely warped way, like the Protestant Church's teaching which are completely against the spirit of the Catholic and Orthodox teachings? Will those people who reject the Westbro teachings and other made-up Protestant teachings also be condemned for not believing Jesus?

Why do some Christians who follow the Protestant religion- which is a heresy- not embrace the original church?

Yes, Jesus Christ is our loving Creator Father of this universe as well as being an Eternal Coordinate Son of God from Paradise. Thus all prayers and worship of God BY ANY NAME used by any human do go directly to Him.

"Is a Rose, by any other name, less a Rose?"

However, Jesus Christ loves all humans equally; and thus He will allow all humans sincere of heart to go up to one or more of the next seven higher probationary heavens for our rehabilitation. Up there, each human who does not know Who Jesus Christ really is, will be given at least one Vision of God and Jesus as One in Spirit, and will be able to choose to be an eternally ascending son (or daughter) of God in Jesus, or to be not ---extinguished forever, instantly and painlessly.

Read now and believe Jesus' Words in John 12:32. Jesus has the divine power to seek and to save everyone who really desires such a Sacred Free Gift !

Every answer to every question may be found in the word, spend time with Christ in the word and you will not be led astray. "If then you have a new life with Christ, give your attention to the things of heaven, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. 2 Keep your mind on the higher things, not on the things of earth. 3 For your life on earth is done, and you have a secret life with Christ in God. 4 At the coming of Christ who is our life, you will be seen with him in glory." Colossians 3:1-4 Ask the Lord to :"plant truth so deeply in your heart that you will never live in doubt or deception."

I have witnessed and believe with all my heart that God is real and is active today.

I am talking to my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ in this paragraph. In these comments there will be scoffers and those who will curse you and me and be hateful toward you. Do not be hateful to them and grumble. Their hearts are not ready; they see what we have written to them. It is now up to them to decide what to do with it and let God work. Thank you for posting this question. Please do not say anything bad to them. They are like children as we are little children. They don't know about the scripture. What we are saying is foreign to them. Continue to be children of God and look to Him for wisdom and strength to endure evil toward you and find joy in it.

Now talking to those who are pre-believers; there are people out there who claim to be Christians and say Christian things and do Christian stuff. But just because they wear Jesus and speak his name is not a real believer. The best way to know Christ is through the scriptures in the bible. I know that sounds absurd but it has endured over the years from when it was first written, to the Codex's to the Dead Sea scrolls on to today. Jesus' own words are true. You can count on those words, not on what some random person says or even a friend of yours. If you want to know more, read 1 John for yourself. It is a short book in the New Testament and sums up everything we believe in, in a neat little package. Hope you find what you are looking for!

Yes, no one will enter to heaven except through Jesus Christ.

I think it is interesting that Christ was speaking to Nicodemus. I do not believe that Jesus is the only way to get to Heaven. I also don't believe that the Bible has much legitimacy. It was written by humans, for humans. God doesn't need words to communicate. He's God, for goodness sake.

Yes.

John 14:6-7 (New International Version)

New International Version (NIV)

Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society

6Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7If you really knew me, you would know[a] my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him."

Footnotes:

John 14:7 Some early manuscripts If you really have known me, you will know

Wow. I have always had a hard time with beliefs that assert that nobody gets to Heaven except those who agree with me. I hope that you do not really imagine that anyone will read your question, and follow Jesus as a result of your remarks and quotes.

I just got back from Malaysia, a moderate Islamic country. Islam states that polytheists offend God. That would be us Christians, because of our belief in the Trinity.

My pastor says that God, who is compassionate and merciful, will NOT condemn anyone on the basis of his or her theology.

Lucky for you.

YES!!!! Matthew 7:21 - "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven." God bless you!!!

NO!!!!!!!

There are many roads to God.

OSIRIS – EGYPT: He came to fulfill the law. Called "KRST," the "Anointed One." Born of the virgin Isis-Meri on December 25th in a cave / manger, with his birth announced by a star and attended by three wise men. Earthly father named "Seb" (translates to "Joseph.") At age 12 he was a child teacher in the Temple and at 30 he was baptized, having disappeared for 18 years. Osiris was baptized in the river Iarutana -- the river Jordan -- by "Anup the Baptizer," who was beheaded. (Anup translates to John.) He performed miracles, exorcised demons, raised El-Osiris from the dead. Walked on water and was betrayed by Typhon, crucified between two thieves on the 17th day of the month of Athyr. Buried in a tomb from which he arose on the third day (19th Athyr) and was resurrected. His suffering, death, and resurrection celebrated each year by His disciples on the Vernal Equinox -- Easter.

Called "The Way, the Truth, the Light," "Messiah," "god's Anointed Son,' the "Son of Man," the "Word made Flesh," the "word of truth." Expected to reign a thousand years.

As you can see, the story of Jesus was just copied form a couple dozen other sun gods.
