God gave people one thing "Free Will" with that is the right to have a faith in a religion or not.
And how do you know having a faith in a religion is the right thing ?
You can be Spiritual without having a Religion : )
And I am yet to met a person who is religious and is spiritual as well...most are hypocrites
The only devil is the devil that people create and from that evil expels.
If following a religion is so right was is so much wrong come from it
Like "Religious Wars" and Poverty, Deaths and Destruction ??????
We need more Love and Peace in our World and less Religion
Love & Blessings

I think there are saved people in many denominations and religions.
There are many"Christians" who will go straight to hell without passing go.
The Christian walk is not a group walk, but individual.You cannot join a church or club for salvation. The way is narrow, not everyone can be saved, just a remnant saved by grace.
Even people with no religion at all are closer to God than those born in it , if they are the chosen.
Those that are farthest from it come in the easiest.
There are no good men, we all need salvation.
Those that know it are closer to attaining it.
We are all evil.

Well, if these people belong to another religion, then i respect their views. I don't see them as having the "devil" in them. We all have our different views on religion and we have to respect that. Because they believe in their God and their views. Although i may not agree with most of their views, we have to let their own judgement decide if they are doing the right thing or not. If they learn God's real love for us, they will see the truth in the Christian religion. I like being Christian because it shows us how much God loves us because he sent his only son, Jesus Christ, to die for us to save us from our sins. I think Christianity is the best religion. If some people don't agree with me, than that's their opinion. We can't obligate anybody to belong to a certain religion if they don't want to. I think the worst part is if you are agnostic. Because you don't believe in a God and you do not believe in any religion. Those people really need to find God so they can know that what they are doing is wrong. They just need to go to church and hear the truth behind God's word.

No, Jesus wants us to love everyone the way he loves them. The bible says "For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God." That means that everyone (including Christians) is a sinner and so Christians shouldn't judge others... what they should do is share the truth (what the bible says) and show unconditional love to everyone they come into contact with. It's sad that there are so many so called Christains out there who give real Christians like me a bad name. Christians aren't any better than anyone else, they have just accepted God's plan of salvation through Jesus!

The way I see it everyone is a child of God. Just because I follow Jesus doesn't mean I'm going to heaven either (contrary to the "once saved, always saved" crowd). If you choose not to follow Christ then that is between you and God. I have way too much of my own issues to worry about. Of course I am always there to lend a hand to anyone who asks but if you don't go to heaven, well, maybe we'll meet in the other place and hopefully I can buy you a beer, LOL!

No, I don't think of Non-Christians as evil people with the devil in them. They just don't believe in God. They are not evil, they just aren't Christians. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and religion. But the devil does try to get to Non-Christians and Christians especially.

Of course not. Any Christian (or poser) who says that is an idiot, a liar or just trying to cause trouble. What does a REAL Christian think of non - Christian's? We are told by the "word of God" that ALL people are children of God, loved by him and that we should love them as God loves us. Only by that witness (of love) will non-Christians be able to see the "light" (or right) of God how and why they should come to him.

First of all Chrisitainity is not a religion it's a way of life and this is the way we have choosen to live out life to mimack Jesus. Yes we fall short we all fal short of the glory from time to time, matter fact daily. To answer your question, No we do not hate them at all we love them all they just He loved us as we were and for some of as we are when we back slide to our old habits.

the so-called devil is a creation of the church (before Luther there was no other church than "the church", all devidings came after the reformation). So non-christians cannot be affiliated with "the devil", because he/it exists only in christian minds or belief systems.

For those who have heard the Gospel and have refused it, and those who don't know Christ, i feel sorry for them. I am sorry that they'll never get to know Jesus or what He has done for us.Some poeple who don't follow Christianity do have the Devil within them. he might be the one that causes them to deny God.
