To all my Christ believers...... I have one question for you.?

Respect other people's beliefs, and embrace your own.

Be honest to yourself. If you say you're Christian, be a Christian.

That's good that some teach from the Bible but it is still in vain if their theology about God/Jesus is incorrect. You can't pick and choose parts from the Bible, you have to accept all of it. Otherwise you make God out to be a liar. A lot of people say Jesus was a good man, even a prophet, but they stop there. That is where the problem is.

If you really were born again, your life would show it.

John 14:6 Jesus said, I am the way, the truth and the life, know once comes to the father but by me.

Mark 1:15 The kingdom of heaven is at hand, repent and believe in the gospel.

Repent of your sins by turning toward Jesus, believing only he can save you from hell. Start reading the Bible and do what it says. Let it change you.

I spent years wandering about in reading some other religions, but none came

close to the bible, to Jesus Christ, to Who and what He is.

Many religions acknowledge a lot from the bible, except for accepting

the divinity of Jesus Christ as the 'only way to the Father'...this they

do not do, and if you talk about that, it won't go the same way.

They can be most pleasant as long as you don't get into salvation,

that there is 'no other name under heaven by which you must be saved'.

Even talking about salvation, the need for this will get a condescending smile,

most often.

They are wooing you, they see how to do this...very wise, but do

ask these more important questions.

The important thing is your own born again experience, being

baptized into Christ...and subsequent leading by the Holy Spirit.

Otherwise, it really is...just words, too many words.

<No one is BORN a Christian. And, going to a church does not make you one. If you had read and understood the Bible (which I recommend for every Christian), you would know that God reveals Himself to all of His creatures.

It should not be surprising that the are similarities. The problem is that it is what makes Christianity different that is important. Only through Jesus can anyone come to God. No other religion teaches that. Thus, all other religions are leading people away from God. Don't believe me? Do the research on the other religions. I have. And, I have also seen the difference between philosophy and religion (which you seem to have missed).

Faith is based on evidence, not ignorance (as you suggest - however subtly).>

Yes I have looked into other religions and to be honest all the ones I read up on were very good. I always believe anyone you can find God is good. I too would never tell anyone to change their beliefs. I do not even try to get non believers to believe, if they don't want to, I really don't care, but when they are rude ( on here) I feel the need to out them as the bullies they are. But I only meet rude bullies online anyhow ( not just atheists on here, but the numerous oafs ands oafettes on all the message boards), in the offline world people are just really nice, cool, caring and funny.. But as far as God and religion I get why there are so many religions and belief systems, you figure people are different and have different likes, dislikes, philosophies of life and no two people treat any one person in the exact same way.

You are so mistaken. The oldest religion still practiced in modern times is Hindu--over 4000 years old. It taught then at its beginning and today man must work himself into a higher level of grace. That is grace of a man level description or definition and if they were successful, either they would avoid reincarnation or be reborn to a higher and better level than their previous life. The burden of this attempt to better one's self is upon the individual----man cannot be but what he is---only God can Change a person.

The Holy Bible, the authority of all Christian belief in written form, all comes from the ultimate authority Jesus. In it we are told that all of man's righteousness is as filthy rags---used toilet paper so to speak, none are righteous no not one. So to change--one must accept the gift of everlasting life from Jesus--we are then reborn to be a new creature and God indwells us. No religion teaches that---none. Christianity is not a religion for it is the only from of spiritual search in which God seek men--alll religions it is man seeking God. You are mislead by your research---it is not of God and his way--it contradicts most of his Scripture--that alone should have been your warning. Many scholars have followed your path of reasoning and found not God but rebuff of the truth---Jesus is truth, not your ancient religions.

There is a broad difference in a philosphy teaching man a way to live and one which teaches a man how to live and die with assurance of eternity with God. Christianity is the only spiritual search with a living God and a living Savior, and Eternity with both---all others lead to eternity without God.

Yes l have looked and sometimes read different religions books and yes their is a similarity among them. Read the Tibetan and Egyptian book of the dead, Read about Buddha, the Koran and a very small part of the book of Mormons who accept our Christian bible but move on the third Testament.

I am a Christian. I went to school and learned about the world. I have read other beliefs and faiths from other nations. I have seen the teachings of Buddha, and their people watch toddlers pass through streets. Seeing toddlers get killed by passing drivers and I didn't see one even blink to help the kid or just stop to pick him up. So sad.

I have read about Hinduism and how they keep their cows sacred. However they can't keep their precious own kids with proper care and a good shelter to live in. But they still have to many mouths to feed and don't do anything to prevent that.

I see Muslims killing in the name of God, and their Quran says God will reward them with Earthly things in heaven. Women are treated as second citizens and without very much humanity.

On the other hand. I have seen non profit Christian ministries that go to third world countries and help out with their own money and money from people who want to help out the cause.

When a Christian church gets vandalize, we rebuild it.

When Mohammad gets a name call. They call for vengeance with blood.

Christians don't required you to be in their blood line to be a Christian. All you have to do is follow his teachings.

If you're not Jewish, you can't practice the Jewish Faith or if you do not circumcise you or your family, or your property God will not be on your side anymore.

FYI, I come from a Father who is a Christian and a mother who is a Catholic. We are not very religious. Nor do we go to church every Sunday. My father told me why should only one day be holy? He told me we should be good everyday. When we can we celebrate Christmas with gifts and sometimes not even with a Christmas tree.

However, we respect each other in our neighborhood and help the best we can. We don't do it for the praises like in church or the charlatans but because we are a loving family. If we were rich we would be poor again only because we would give the money back to the needy.

I didn't have the Egyptian nor Tibetan books of the dead, but I included the Book of Mormon and Mary Baker Eddy's Science and Health with Key To The Scriptures.

Went from Methodist to Buddhist.

God does not have any grand-children. If that were so, then all the Jews would enter heaven automatically, without saving faith in Jesus Christ. Hence no one is born a Christian. The Bible says in Psalm 51:5:"Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me."This is in reference to the 'sin nature' see Genesis 3:15: of Humanity. This sin nature, which Everyone Possesses, influences us to sin and is the source of all sin. It is also partially responsible for blinding people's thoughts and understanding, so that they cannot perceive spiritual things (1Cor. Chp.2v14.) Although our sin nature continues to operate within us, it was judged when Christ died (Rom.6:6,7). In the Bible in Romans 3:22-23:"Even the righteousness of God which is by Faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference; For All Have Sinned, and Come Short of the Glory of God." We come to God through faith, Christ's death satisfies the Father's Righteous demands. It's benefits are gotten Only Through faith in Jesus Finished Work. In his Blood-which was shed for the sins of the whole world. In Hebrews 9:27:"And as it is Appointed Unto Men (the whole world) Once to Die, But After This the Judgment. So Christ was once offered to Bear the sins of Many; and Unto Them that look For Him, shall He Appear the second time without sin unto salvation." There is no reincarnation; every Person gets One Chance to Prepare. So all the religions, mentioned in your statement, would appear before the One True God of the Universe and if they accept Jesus-Right Here on Earth-would be accepted into Heaven-at their point of physical death, and if they reject Jesus, would enter into eternal Hell and separation from God. There is no bargaining or justifying my personal opinion on known facts about Jesus being The Saviour of the World -One and Only- God appointed Him as such in John 3:16-and it is not about Religion, but a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

I think this is fantastic, I've spent my life looking into the sciences but religion has always fascinated me and I'm glad to see that even Christians can look and ask why to the important questions. It is honestly very rare to hear a devote Christian ask why their religion is any better than another which preaches the same idealogies, Bravo man, you're a ray of hope for the future and never stop asking questions, never stop trying to understand!
