PERHAPS you have experienced the empty feeling that comes with losing a loved one in death. On such occasions most persons feel not only sad but also very helpless. It is only natural to wonder: What happens to a person when he dies? Is he still conscious somewhere? Is there a real hope that the dead will live again? The Bible contains a comforting answer to these questions.
Simply stated, death is the opposite of life. In sentencing the first man Adam for his willful disobedience, God said: “You [will] return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are and to dust you will return.” (Gen. 3:19) Consider now: Where was Adam before God formed him from the dust and gave him life? Why, he simply did not exist. At his death Adam returned to the same lifeless, unconscious state. He went neither to a fiery hell nor to heavenly bliss, but died—as God said he would.—Gen. 2:17.
The Bible clearly teaches that the dead are unconscious and lifeless in the grave. Note what Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10 (AV) says regarding the condition of the dead: “For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.”
This means, therefore, that the dead cannot do anything and cannot feel anything. Their thoughts have ceased, as the Bible states: “Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.”—Ps. 146:3, 4, AV.

Do you mean muslims? i know there are Christians who believe that Jesus was a prophet of God and God had no offsprings. I have tried to find out about this group, no one has been able to help me. I know the christians are going to say you cant be a christian if you believe that.

I'm a Catholic, but one of my friends is Christian. Remember, who said we'll all go to hell? Probably HUMANS. God's CREATION. That he made with FLAWS. He's the one that will judge us. IAlthough I'm a Catholic, I believe that Joseph was married to some else and that Jesus does have a brother. But then that someone died. And you know, the Jewish religion thinks that Jesus ain't th Son of God. And JESUS was JEWISH!!! Does that strike YOU as odd? Jesus could have been just a phrophet, but he was like amazingly perfect. That's what my religion believes at least. And I'm pretty sure that Jesus din't get married. When they made the Bibe they thought every one already knew Jesus. They didn't think it would be two thousand years (still waitng). They thought it would be three days or a week, a year at the most. They didn't put every single little detail, but I'm sure thay would at leadt MENTION if he got married.

Jesus did not have offspring as if He did we would have record of His marriage and births of His children just as we do with all other people in the Bible.
Jesus is our Saviour; He's the Son of God. God created everything for Him and that's why He sent Him to save the world.
I'm a Christian and these are some of my beliefs.
It says in the Holy Bible that no other words should be added or taken away; this is why I do not believe in any books published thereafter.

Well, how about this! I think that Jesus was a great, kind, loving man and teacher and since his name is Christ I guess that makes me a christian.But do not confuse me with some of those poor fools who can not think outside the box and who are more attached to organized crime, also called religion and oh that book that very one interprets different and that had been rewritten a gazillion times, so no one knows any more whats real and whats not.God is a ghost (no ghost children) and I think Jesus, if any one ,had children(offspring).YEAH, I think that's how that goes!

If you deny Jesus is God, then you are not truly loving Jesus Christ, but rather an idol of Jesus to suit your needs, so you would have chosen to deny the only true salvation available to man. Jesus is God. John 3:16-18 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. (17) For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. (18) Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Acts 4:11-12 This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone. (12) And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. Romans 10:9-10 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (10) For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, (9) not a result of works, so that no one may boast. 1 John 4:2-3 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, (3) and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already.

We cannot say who will go to hell, that is for God the All-Mighty to decide, but we do know that Jesus Son of Mary will testify against them (those who associated partners with God) on the Day of Judgment
005:116] And (remember) when God will say (on the Day of Resurrection): "O Jesus, son of Maryam Mary! Did you say to men: 'Worship me and my mother as two gods besides God?' " He will say: "Glorified are You! It was not for me to say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, You would surely have known it. You know what is in my inner self though I do not know what is in Yours; truly, You, only You, are the All-Knower of all that is hidden (and unseen).
[005:117] "Never did I say to them aught except what You God did command me to say: 'Worship God, my Lord and your Lord.' And I was a witness over them while I dwelt amongst them, but when You took me up, You were the Watcher over them; and You are a Witness to all things. (This is a great admonition and warning to the Christians of the whole world).
[005:118] "If You punish them, they are Your slaves, and if You forgive them, verily, You, only You are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise."

Islam teaches us that Allah the creator of all things was never begotten and that he does not beget. Nothing is like him. he is unique and one , only one.
Now believing in a son to God is not acceptable by Allah.
Jesus was a graet prophet of Allah.
