I think, Christians are not being logical when they say they are saved! since, there would be no wisdom behind them staying on earth.. since, all what they are doing now is sinning.. did their God want them to live in this life to sin? I do not think so, since I believe most of them today do not even know who his or her God is, is it Jesus? is it the father? or both?..

Jesus said " When you've seen me, you have seen the Father".
He's the Alpha & the Omega, the beginning and the end, God with us.
God was in Christ reconciling the world back to Himself.

There's lots of wisdom in staying on earth. One of which is obedience to God's commandments, which I think is an ideal you would understand, wouldn't you? He commanded us to be the light of the word, to teach the lost and love the poor and afflicted. That's our purpose, and by doing that we learn a little more every day how great He is, how merciful and compassionate. To be saved from hell is not everything. . . that's only the beginning. Our sins are forgiven, washed away, forgotten and made into nothing. We must try as best we can not to sin, but if we slip and fall, then that also is forgiven. God is more merciful than you can imagine. To be certain of a place in Heaven as His free gift to us, only causes us to love Him more. And the more we love Him, the more we should love this world and these people that He created. I don't think you really understand the doctrine of the Trinity- how there can be but a single God, with three faces that He shows to the world. Think of Him like a diamond with three facets, or as if the Father were a lamp, Christ the light that comes from it, and the Holy Spirit the warmth when it touches your skin. On an intellectual level you might be able to distinguish them, but in reality they could never be separated. All I have are analogies, because I don't think it would ever be possible to completely understand everything about God. . . I don't imagine you'd claim to know everything there is to know about Him, either, would you?

Lots of questions, here, TM, just a sec...
Yeah, I'm saved, but it is not my choice when I am to be with the Father...His timing is not my timing. There's a great song by Joy Williams called "By Surprise", that explains that while she loves her life here, she's not addicted to it, and would go at a moment's notice to be in Heaven.
That's how I feel. If I knew my family, friends and I could be there now, and it was His will...I'm IN!
However, I think He has more work for me first...lots of lost people out there, would love to see you there, too, TM!
My God is The Almighty, Author, Perfecter, Alpha and Omega, Son, and Holy Spirit, and so much more!

hey why don't you just go and save a few dum dums from believing they go to paradise to get virgins for blowing up themselves.
Really. If the house of Islam is not full of sin, then the sun is blue.
I asked the God of Abraham and Isaac & Jacob about this one U guys call Allah, and He said "I do not know him".
So you have a nice day, moslem, and maybe someday you will find out about the Jesus you cannot understand at this time.

the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are all one God in three forms
God put us on this earth with free will and we control waht we do. We sin and repent. If we serve God as we should we are saved and going to heaven

We speak of being saved to the unbelieving because it is the first step. There is so very much more to being a Christian than being saved! lol It is a wonderful life that I have now, but it's not possible for you to really understand it without being saved yourself.
Sorry, it's just not possible.

First it is not our god it is the only God and the first step to wisdom is fear of god, jesus loves you love is an emotion from god he created us in his image yet we are all imperfect, so he sent his perfect son to save us and u.

We are taught to wittiness to others about Jesus. We worship God after we accept Jesus as our personal savior.It is appointed unto man once to die and then the judgment, we cant just go on to heaven.

We've stayed here for a reason, to help others along the way to know God. He made us live here for a reason, and for me, that is to continue His mission of saving lives, of helping others. And contrary to what you say, we know our God well enough to say that He loves us. That's all that matters.

Brilliant question.
Christians are saved. duh
Are all people that "claim" to be saved, a "Christian".?
I'll let you decide that. I'm sure you can do God's "overload" work schedule.
