i have studied alot about God over the past couple of weeks and met many people. Ive been told all of my life that jesus is gods son, he was crucified and died for all of us. then i met a sweet islamic person who made me laugh and i thought we were friends,
but turns out since i cant agree 100% with him on his beliefs (qur_an) that he has doomed me to hell!! says he will see me at judgement and say: in other words...i told you so. ) he says he has warned me. and we cannot be friends!! it hurt me.
but now my opinion is that there are so many beliefs and religeions!! if we put trust in god, believe in him and pray all will be ok.
when someone is born blind & deaf and cannot hear gods salvation, will he send them to hell?? or indians from long ago? or ppl who live in jungles??
i feel that god the supreme being of the universe, loves all ppl.
he understands how we have been taught! no certain religeion will go to heaven. some of all. god sees the heart, how we treat others! well?

after reading all of these i reply.
god does love all. even sinners he wants to repent. why has jesus not returned yet?
because god wants all that will to be saved.
blind can feel the sun, but cannot know to follow jesus or god, not if they never heard his word.
hell is for people who continue to say there is no god. no allah, no god at all.
hell was originally made for satan & his angels/demons.
some people will go to hell because they refuse to accept the gift of forgiveness from god and jesus.
jesus and muhamaad were both messengers yes. but jesus was special to god. gods own son in all aspects.
but yet human. no other prophet was born of a virgin. no other died for all of mankind.
yes he was afraid, but did his fathers will.!!
he died for us. that is love that we cannot comprehend.
i would die for my child. i guess its like that, he loved us that much!!!
but i care about ppl of all beliefs. god alone judges. if we judge we will be judged as we have others. just love !

oh, as to indians, they didnt know that it was forbidden what they worshipped.
god will judge their hearts and actions.
so only muslims are going to heaven/paradise...hum, somehow me thinks not.
if we should listen to muhamaads words from gabriel, them we should listen to jesus . why is muhamaad better prophet??
god sent jesus first. why do some think that all /most of what jesus said & did was untrue, but islam quran all true.
doesnt add up.
but i feel muslims believe what they believe.
its fine. they too will see paradise if they are good ppl.
its all in putting god first & loving fellow man/woman!!!
love the lord thy god with all thy mind , heart & soul. love thy neighbor as thy self.
love for god is keeping his commandments!! doing his will, no matter what religion you are!!
leave judgeing to the ones that god has appointed!!! not any man or woman.
god be with everyone!!! come quickly lord jesus . show them. amen.

if you are talking about Islam, then Quran says that there is not a nation or a tribe ,, to whom ,,, a warner has not been sent...
Al-Quran ( 35:24) There is not a nation or a tribe to whom we have not sent a warner or a guide
even if the people lives in jungle,,, they received a messenger..
Prophet Muhammad pbuh said that there were more than 124 thousand messengers sent on the face of the earth.
so,,, every nation got a messenger... quran mentions only 25.
Even blind person knows about sun,,, he cannot see sun,,but he feels it...
blindness of eyes,, or some organ problem is a test from Allah,, .... The still have the ability to judge and pick truth from falsehood.....
and if someone does not receive any message,,, they will be tested on the day of judgement in different way.
NO ,, GOD DOES NOT LOVES EVERYONE, IF GOD LOVES ALL PEOPLE,, THEN WHY WILL SOME PEOPLE GO TO HELL THEN.???
Allah does not love the aggressors.(Quran 2:190)
".....but Allah does not love disorder." (Quran 2:205)
"And swell not thy cheek (for pride) at men, nor walk in insolence through the earth; for God loveth not any arrogant boaster. (The Noble Quran, 31:18)"
Quran 22:38 Verily Allah will defend (from ill) those who believe: verily, Allah loveth not any that is a traitor to faith, or show ingratitude.
God does not loves those who reject His signs..... or messenger.... Messengers are spokesman of God.. ,, rejecting prophet is equivalent to rejecting God...as Jesus rightly said,, who honours me ,, honours God........e.g. to insult/reject an ambassador sent from a country is to reject/insult country itself.
For salvation,,, believe in Prophet Muhammad pbuh is necessary.....
Indians worshipped creations and idols.... worshipping creation is blasphemy and quran says that their good deeds will be of no benefit to them....... without faith,, work is dead.
Allah knows best...

God does love everyone. He watches over us and He gave us free will. Regardless of what we have been taught by our parents, churches, etc. it is our decision to seek Him DILIGENTLY and to have a one-on-one relationship with Him!
We cannot enter heaven on deeds alone. It will be by faith, knowledge of His Words, keeping His commandments, acceptance of His son Jesus Christ our savior and believing that He died on the cross so that we may be forgiven for our sins as well as our "works" - how we treat each other.
The important part to remember is that no matter what religion we choose to believe in, God DOES exist, and we all must acknowledge Him FIRST in everything we do. He is a loving and a forgiving God. He wants us to come WILLINGLY to Him. He can forgive ANY sin! That's what REPENTANCE is for! We must also remember to forgive ourselves.
As for your Islamic friend, he is entitled to believe whatever he wants as are you. It is not for him to impose his beliefs on you or vice versa. He can discuss his beliefs with you and you can discuss yours with him, but respect should always be given to each party. If he based your friendship on religion, then my OPINION is that he was never really your friend. We can share our beliefs with each other, but EVERYONE has the right to believe what they want. As long as YOU know the TRUTH, you know you will be alright!
God Bless!

Number one i dont fully understand all religions so some of them could be christians they just call it something else. God makes sure that everyone hears about God and Jesus before they die. If you meet someone that has never heard about God or Jesus when you ask them about it, God has just placed you in their life to tell them. If you meet someone that doesnt know God then you r the one that's supposes to tell them. Sometimes, God will tell them Himself through visions or dreams. Its our responsibiliy as Christians to spread the word. The whole blind, deaf, and dumb thing- it's His way of shaping that person and the ppl around them.

John 3:16 Allah is a Moon God, ( that is why there is a Crescent Moon on top of Mosques and is the Symbol of their Religion)the only Idol that was Not Destroyed by Mohammad, but proclaimed by "him" as the one true God. Mohammad believed originally that he was being deceived by demons, but his "wife" convinced him it was the angel "Gabriel". This IS FACT!!! Check out this Link for More Information about Islam!

God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son that whosever believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life!
God does love the world and is waiting for us to ask His forgiveness for our sins so that He can save us! Jesus died on the cross for our sins and paid the penalty once and for all so that we could have eternal life in Heaven with Him! All you have to do is accept this and you will be saved!

Your last sentence said it all. God does love us all and people from every belief will be in heaven depending how they treated others. The ancients had a different covenant with God... he wrote the law in their hearts. So, deaf, dumb, blind or living in a jungle we have no excuse.

I think you should ask your pastor. People on the internet will just spit out the most random, useless stuff at you when you ask a question like this.
If someone decides to disagree with you and say he/she doesn't believe in god(s), they get like 12 bad ratings on their answer.
I myself don't believe in God. I think it's all about being good to other people.
Oh, and if that person doesn't want to be your friend, then just let it go.

Jesus Christ is the "I AM" or God Himself in a visible body.
"For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily."
-- Colossians 2:9
"Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?"
-- John 14:9
"Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you Before Abraham was, I AM."
-- John 8:58
"Every man [or woman] can be saved, and those are saved who acknowledge God and live rightly" (Divine Providence n. 325).

there are so many religions out there whose to say which one is real or fake maybe they are all make believe. why send people to hell who didn't know what they did wrong or that it's wrong or for worshiping the wrong god, seems a bit cruel close minded and unforgiving. just because you and your (ex)friend have your differences doesn't mean you can't still be friends, to me it isn't that big of a deal who belives what. i think we all just do what we can to survive and to be the best we can in our life

It's true GOD loves every one of us. He sees our intentions and judges us not through our physical looks or not through our material possessions; He sees what's in our heart, our attitude and behavior.
GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME!
