I was born and raised a Christian (most predominately as a Southern Baptist) and I try to keep a very open mind insomuch that you don't have to believe in Jesus to be close to God. To the sincere believers, Jesus is the Son of God. However, we cannot condemn those who do not believe in what he believe in. If we do then we will be condemning Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, and Hindus (etc.) who recognize Jesus as a religious teacher and philosopher but not the Son of God. In my humble opinion, despite professing Christianity, God does not cast people who don't necessarily believe in Jesus to Hell. On the contrary, if he did, what about all the people before Jesus? Did they go to Hell? In my opinion, no.

Nope that doesn't make any person a "devil". The difference between Christianity and Islam is that Christians believe that Jesus is the son of God and Muslims believe that Jesus is the messenger (Prophet) of God, and the devil believes that Jesus and God are nothing basically... So either way, Muslims and Christians give the same respect to Jesus and God... two different believes cannot make a devil out of any of them

Jesus is God! To limit Jesus to a mere man and not recognize his true deity is a sin. If you believe that Jesus was just the son of God and not God in the flesh, you are in a cult..Get out quick!

While I am Christian I am also anti-organized religion. My belief is that on judgement day God will judge you by what is in your heart. Were you a good person, did you try to do the right thing and help your fellow man when you could. Or were you evil, serving only yourself and screwing over your fellow man whenever you could. God knows what is in your heart and if you are a good person than you will get into heaven.

For you Maria Gallercia,
During 3 days Jesus' body in the tomb, Jesus' spirit go down to the Hades and preached the gospel to the dead, for those who do not have the chance to hear His message before him! so to give a chance to everybody, so during the judgement everyone does not have an excuse!

Those who don't believe Jesus is God aren't judged on if they are worse than the devil, they are justly judged though and will be in hell forevermore.

Just a kind note. You have misquoted the Word of God. Look at it close and you will see it. Satan does NOT tell anyone of Christ unless he knows that he can trick them to his thinking. Read Matthew in the New Testament.

we are not "worse" if we don't believe in Jesus Christ. However, when face judgement, (not the great throne judgement).. the bible says that if we deny Jesus Christ while on earth, he will deny us.

GOd is not like humans. God has no babies or son. the relationship between us and God is that he is our creator and we are His creatures.
