It doesn't matter what race you are, or what culture you live in, or what your religious beliefs are. EVERYONE will either go to Heaven or Hell when they die. There is ONLY ONE WAY TO HEAVEN. Have you ever told a lie, or stolen anything, or used God's name in vain, or disobeyed your parents? It's appointed to man once to die, then judgment. When you die God will judge you by His Moral Laws. If you stand guilty before God on judgment day, you will end up in Hell. The good news is that God is so kind, that He provided a way to be Forgiven and accepted into Heaven. Jesus Christ died on a cross and rose again to pay the debt for your sins. You must Repent, which means to turn away from your sins, ask God's Forgiveness, and put your complete Trust in Jesus Christ. Only then will you be forgiven and accepted into Heaven

Well, it's like this: I don't believe any of that stuff. It's not like I'm saying, "Oh, hey yeah, I believe Jesus was the Son of God and born from a virgin, but forget that guy. Who needs eternal life in heaven anyway?" I just don't believe any of the stuff you wrote in your question. That's all.
Now, of course, as a person, if I really did believe that people who didn't accept Christ were going to Hell, I'd do everything I could to go out and change as many minds and hearts as possible. It's the only thing a person could do, and still live with himself. So good luck with that. But I think you're confused about what's real and what's not.

I don't claim that Jesus was not a great person, I believe he helped many people, and I believe he was horribly prosecuted, yet I draw the line there. I am not a christian, I am a buddhist. By not believing Jesus died for our sins we are not insulting him, just deciding not to be a christian. A religion is a personal choice, and you have no right to claim that by not choosing christianity as a religion you are personaly insulting Jesus. And by the way, are you claiming that you are all knowing, because how else could you know without doubt that we go to heaven or hell when we die? Somehow I doubt that you are. Don't say the bible either, because a mortal wrote that, not god.

I consider myself a Christian (or, at least, a great believer in the teachings of Christ, whatever that means outside the context of organizational affiliation). If there is "only one way" to heaven, the elect are certainly exceedingly few. Let us hope there are many ways. As far as being "saved" and having your sins "forgiven", I have often thought people with such beliefs like it because it is a kind of offer to sin incessantly: sin, instantaneously forgiven; sin, instantaneously forgiven; sin, instantaneosly forgiven. I prefer to find a way to simply stop sinning. I aspire in this direction by trying to answer to conscience alone (not dogma, not social expectation).

I pray that many will come to an understanding that this is the truth. Jesus said I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father but through me.
I have known the Lord Jesus for most of my life, and am so grateful that I am safe forever. He had a plan and purpose for my life, and as I look back over the years, I have seen His hand guide and lead me.
A wonderful Saviour is Jesus my Lord
A wonderful Saviour to me!
I recommend the Christian life to all. I trust that many will seek and find Him on this site.

Because we don't believe in man-g-ds....you are either man or G-d but never both. When Moshiach comes we his chosen people will know it. And who are you to disrespect our beliefes....do you know thats against your own religion......I wish you christians would grow up and show other peoples beliefs a bit of respect. Go bow down to your Santa and the Easter Bunny and all your other pagan symbols, because in the end thats all you are... a pagan!!!

This reminds me of the Jill Carroll story, they were wondering why she did not convert to Islam while they held her hostage. They force feed her the religion, but she did not convert. They were puzzled.
Maybe the answer is the same for you and them....you cannot force feed people religion. Sorry there are too many other stories out there besides yours. I hope it is your answer, but do not pretend that you can force feed it too everyone.

Well, Our Bible dude Jesus broke the rules of his own religion. He was never a true Jew and how can he teach others another religion....He gave birth to a Evil Cult not a religion
Christianity is a fake religion.

Because his message has been perverted by a cult started by Saul of Tarsus.
