Jesus accepts everyone who comes to Him, even if Church doesn't. Find a church that will accept you and which teaches the Holy Bible. Check out this website, they have a forum for asking questions for those who don't know, but want to. I think its a wonderful miracle that you are asking this question. God richly bless you. paste and click this website.

Jesus and god are the same. if u do not understand the bible u should ask ur family. attending church also helps. sometimes u can get devotion books which help u understand the bible.

Church... real christians never hate u for what u look like. its the inside that counts.they will be happy to have u amongst them to learn more about god. they were probably staring at u because u were new. U should go to church because it helps u to learn more about god and if u r unsure of anything u could always ask the Pastor or some of the leaders at ur church.

being saved means that u have accepted christ as ur saviour and u have been cleansed of ur sins. this doesnt mean that u can sin as much as u like.

And always remember that god loves u and he always will no matter wat u look like! SMILE JESUS LOVES U ^^ god bless u

First it is very important that you read the Bible for yourself or else people can tell you anything, and there are a lot of things people claim that is not in Bible.

Being saved means believing in God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit), knowing that he died to save you. You confess your sins ask forgiveness and turn your life over to him and follow his example

I strongly recommend baptism. If you follow the example in the Bible when people came to the truth they were baptised.

When you die you sleep in the grave until Jesus comes and wakes you and takes his people to Heaven. Many people say you go directly to Heaven or Hell, but that is not what the Bible teaches, thats why you need to read the Bible for yourself.

If you have any other questions you can e-mail me just put Conundrum in the subject

Jesus is the savior of the world.
Jesus is God.
Choose Jesus.Ask Him to forgive you of your sins and He will.
Choose heaven by accepting Jesus' forgiveness.
Baptism is a good thing (not required for salvation).
All churches and people are imperfect. Don't let fears and people stop you from the most important decision inyour life.
Find a bible believing church that will guide you and care for you . A church to learn about Jesus.
Find a web site from a bible believing church.
non-denominational would be ok.

God is the creator of everything seen and unseen. He's a Holy God, which means He's perfect in everyway possible. He loves us very, very much but we are sinners and cannot come to Him because we have sin and He's perfect. So God sent His only Son, Jesus, to live among us. Jesus was betrayed and murdered. He raised back to life three days later and ascended to heaven to be with God once again. Now, if we believe in and trust and rely on and adhere to Jesus He restores our relationship with God. This is because when He died He died on our behalf. He took OUR sin and paid the penalty for it so we wouldn't have to. By doing this we are made holy and can now approach God.

in the Holy Quran God said:-

112. The Purity


بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِِ

In the Name of Allah, the Ever-Merciful, the Mercy-Giving!

1.
Say: He is Allah, the One and Only;
قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ

2.
Allah, the Eternal, Absolute;
اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ

3.
He begetteth not, nor is He begotten;
لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ

4.
And there is none like unto Him.
وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ

jesus

in the Holy Quran God said:-


4. The Women

156.
That they rejected Faith; that they uttered against Mary a grave false charge;
وَبِكُفْرِهِمْ وَقَوْلِهِمْ عَلَى مَرْيَمَ بُهْتَانًا عَظِيمًا

157.
That they said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah.;- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not:-
وَقَوْلِهِمْ إِنَّا قَتَلْنَا الْمَسِيحَ عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ رَسُولَ اللّهِ وَمَا قَتَلُوهُ وَمَا صَلَبُوهُ وَلَـكِن شُبِّهَ لَهُمْ وَإِنَّ الَّذِينَ اخْتَلَفُواْ فِيهِ لَفِي شَكٍّ مِّنْهُ مَا لَهُم بِهِ مِنْ عِلْمٍ إِلاَّ اتِّبَاعَ الظَّنِّ وَمَا قَتَلُوهُ يَقِينًا

158.
Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise;-
بَل رَّفَعَهُ اللّهُ إِلَيْهِ وَكَانَ اللّهُ عَزِيزًا حَكِيمًا

159.
And there is none of the People of the Book but must believe in him before his death; and on the Day of Judgment he will be a witness against them;-
وَإِن مِّنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ إِلاَّ لَيُؤْمِنَنَّ بِهِ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ وَيَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَكُونُ عَلَيْهِمْ شَهِيدًا

160.
For the iniquity of the Jews We made unlawful for them certain (foods) good and wholesome which had been lawful for them;- in that they hindered many from Allah.s Way;-
فَبِظُلْمٍ مِّنَ الَّذِينَ هَادُواْ حَرَّمْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ طَيِّبَاتٍ أُحِلَّتْ لَهُمْ وَبِصَدِّهِمْ عَن سَبِيلِ اللّهِ كَثِيراً

You need to always question things and think about stuff before you EVER believe anyone, including me. Make up your own mind without being pushed into anything based only on what you think it true, do not be fooled by those that will tell you they will be friends with you or love you if you go to their church, make up YOUR own mind

Don't you know that these are "the last days"? It's when pagans take over the world. Consider forgetting the nonsense and becoming a witch or something, it's so in. Besides, no religion can prove Jack, so it's best to follow your own mind and be mistress of your own destiny.

if the Bible is too long, try reading just one book 1John. it is short...Jesus is God...Jesus is the part of God that came and died for our sins so we don't have to be judged to death after we die.
you have a soul, spirit and body
soul God
spirit Holy Spirit
body Jesus

you have three different parts, but it makes up only one of you...it is the same with God

First, Christians who die, will go to Heaven. Those who are not, will go to Hell. Why, because of sin. Everyone is born a sinner. The only difference between christians and non-christians is that we have accepted Jesus as our savior. While we do sin, we also try to live our life the way God said to. When we don't, we ask God to forgive us, and help us back on his road. You do not have to be batistized to be saved. Baptism is a symbol that we have turned our back to the old ways (or died to the old ways) and are now following God's path (born to new life in Christ). Many people think that baptism is saves you because of the conversation between Nicodemus and Jesus. In John 3:3 Jesus says, "Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” What this means is that we are to born a natural birth (water birth) and spiritual birth (born of the spirit). The best evidence of this is when Jesus told the thief on the cross that he would be with Him in paradise, because the thief accepted Jesus as Lord. There was no way for the thief to be baptized.

The three websites I would recommend are Living waters at www.livingwaters.com, The Carm School at www.carm.org, and mine at www.katgum.com. Both Living Waters and mine will you give you more detail about how to be saved. Carm gives you information about the Bible, theology, and more about what Christians believe. If you want to accept Jesus tonight as your saviour read the following.

The only way to accept Jesus is by first repenting of your sins.

The Bible says in Romans 3:23"for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,"

Ask yourself, have I ever wanted to murder anyone? In God's eyes this is the same as an actual murder. Have I ever lusted, or dwell on someone in certain areas I shouldn't, (Not someone you are married to, but someone you are not)? To God, this is the same as having an affair. Then ask yourself, have I always respected my parents, talk kindly to them, and never argued back to them? Then what about lies? Evel little white lies and half trues are lies. They are meant to decieve others. These are just some examples of sin, and only 4 of the ten commandments.

If you find yourself guilty in these areas, chances are, you will find yourself guilty in all areas.

God can not abide sin. As a result of our sin, we recieve the punishment of death. "For the wages of sin is death" Romans 6:23 a

Once you recognize you have sin, realize that only God can save you.

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." John 3: 16-17

God loves you and does not want you to die and go to Hell. Instead he wants to give you eaternal life. "but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 6:23b

That's why He sent Jesus to die upon the cross for you. You see Jesus took our sins so we would not have to pay for the punishment.
And by the way, that punishment, deat,h is in Hell, a place filled with fire, and torment. Once you are there, you are there for eternity.

Ask God to forgive you, and he will. In Romans 10:9-10, it says "9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."

Repent of your sins and ask God to forgive you. He will.

Pray something like this.

“God, I am a sinner. I don’t deserve your mercy and grace, but you give it anyway. Please forgive me and make me a new person.”


Please know that GOD LOVES YOU!
go to www.katgum.com and look for the tab that says are you a good person for more information.
