For those Christians that believe that everyone who doesn't accept Jesus Christ as their saviour?

Question

will go to hell, have you ever considered that you could be wrong? I, myself am a Christian but have total respect for everyones beliefs or lack there of. I believe in God & Jesus with all my heart but what if we're wrong? How would you feel if the Muslims or Jewish or atheists were right? I pray to God they're not but don't you think that for those of you who think it's the Christian way or no way you should try & respect opinions of others?

Can anyone just give me a straight answer. What if we get to Heaven & God tells us that the Jews faith was correct & the Bible was wrong????

Answer 1

You know, if all Christians were like you, I'd probably still be one. It was their all or nothing attitude that made me start questioning and eventually turn away. Even now, those that want me to come back only serve to remind me of why I left. But you're very nice. The world would be a much better place if we could all respect other people's opinions, even if we don't agree with them.

Answer 2

Nope. Sorry. I try and be a good Christian. I forgive those who trespass against me. But the bottom line is this, of the three religions you've named, Judeism is the oldest. They were expecting someone to lead them into the next kingdom. Jesus came and lead anyone willing to follow. He didn't just talk a good show and perform a few hat tricks to dazzle the people into following him, he talked the talk, he walked the walk and he is said to have performed miracles. He warned that there would be no more prophets from God. He said that there would be more to follow claiming themselves to be, but that they would mislead and confuse people. He taught two basic principles, Love Thy God and Love Thy Neighbor. From these the other commandments come and in following these, the other commandments are covered.
Then, some 600 years later, Mohammad came. Declared himself a prophet and preached that Jews and Christians must convert or die (chapter 9 of the Qu'ran). In that preaching alone, he proved himself to be the AntiChrist. You will also find in the book of Genesis that Mohammd was born of the line of Ishmael -- the illegitimate son of Abraham, said (by angels sent from heaven) to be the leader of many nations and hateful, as a horse's hind end. The Jews are God's chosen people, the gentiles (Christians) are forgiven if they accept and believe in Jesus. All others, can accept, believe and be forgiven or they can choose not to. Their call. And I can respect that. I will feel badly for them, their choice, but it's theirs to make. We were after all, given "Free will." I don't ram down anyone's throats, my beliefs, nor do I cast judgement (REALLY difficult for me). I have enough of my own to contend with.

Answer 3

The requirement for salvation has always been faith. The object of one's faith for salvation has always been God. The psalmist wrote, "Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him" (Psalm 2:12). Genesis 15:6 tells us that Abraham believed God and that was enough for God to account it to him for righteousness (see also Romans 4:3-8). The Old Testament sacrificial system did not take away sin, as Hebrews 9:1-10:4 clearly teaches. It did, however, point to the day when the Son of God would shed His blood for the sinful human race.
What has changed through the ages is the content of a believer's faith. God's requirement of what must be believed is based on the amount of revelation He has given mankind up to that time. This is called progressive revelation. Adam believed the promise God gave in Genesis 3:15 that the Seed of the woman would conquer Satan. Adam believed Him, demonstrated by the name he gave Eve (v.20) and the Lord indicated His acceptance immediately by covering them with coats of skin (v.21). At that point that is all Adam knew, but he believed it.
Abraham believed God according to the promises and new revelation God gave him in Genesis 12 and 15. Prior to Moses, no Scripture was written, but mankind was responsible for what God had revealed. Throughout the Old Testament, believers came to salvation because they believed that God would someday take care of their sin problem. Today, we look back, believing that He has already taken care of our sins on Calvary (John 3:16; Hebrews 9:28).

Answer 4

A good Christian should try to teach others the truth in Jesus Christ but also respect their beliefs. I even see a lot of contention among Christians of different churches. God has blessed every one on this earth and wants us to find our the way back to him.

Answer 5

Sorry gits If they are right and they worship an unrighteous God then they are at the mercy of an unrighteous God. If God agrees with sin and calls holy that which is not than I think the Atheist are clearly closer to the truth as at least they eat drink and are merry in this life because tomorrow we die. If man is sinful as i believe we all know him to be than any righteous God must judge him accordingly...If a righteous God calls us holy by merely calling that which is unholy righteous then God himself becomes a liar....If the price must be paid and this price is paid through our good deeds...then we perish as not one sin can be made right by any man...If I kill 3 and save four have I made my bad deeds good? Good deeds do not make sin good...If I repent and am sorry has my sin gone away do I then go back in time and am made new? No... a righteous God would demand the penalty be paid...and a loving God has paid that penalty of death for us. If Christ is not the answer there is no answer. does this mean that only Christians go to heaven? No many that call on his name never knew him...and we know for a fact that all who know God know also the Son...We can not judge who will be in heaven but we can be sure of this that no one will be there but for the fact that Christ made a way for them.

Answer 6

Praying to God that your right and others are wrong insults Jesus because Christianity is about sharing the grace, not keeping it for yourself, and you are striving to keep it to yourself by thinking your beliefs are right and others are wrong. You lost before you began, faith is about living as you see best, not As your neighbor sees best, so there will be conflict in views but if we believe its a right for others to live as they see fit we must be assured that we too have that right. Thats where respect comes from.

Answer 7

You are a wise an sensitive person. Jesus is certainly a christed Saint. He is not the only one.There are many such saints. God sent me Swami muktananda Paramahamsa from india, a siddha yoga guru, he gave me shaktipat (baptized with spirit) Now i know Jesus was also a siddha yoga guru that taught vedic philosophy. See www.stephen-knapp.com/articles_to_read. Christian roots in vedic teachings. See romans 8-29 this discribes the guru deciple relationship. There has been much left out of or deleted from the bible. Jesus taught "God dwells within you as you".

Answer 8

As a Christian Preacher, writer and Evangelist I respect others opinions and beliefs.
However opinions and beliefs have no bearing on the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
God offers salvation to those that accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

Answer 9

I cannot deny that the Lord has revealed His truth to me. I resisted Him all my life, but the Lord was patient with me. The word of God is living and powerful and salvation is through His Son, Jesus.

You show respect for someone by standing by the truth of God. Appeasement is not an option.

Answer 10

hmmm... do you beleive in the Bible? If so, ur wrong. (plz dont tell me you only beleive in part of the bible by the way). I you beleive in God and Jesus, but not the whole Bible, then I guess u could be right. It's all religion, it's all beleif and faith. I am a Christian and i beleive in the teachings of the Bible. I respect other people's religion, and accept the poeple themselves, but that doesn't mean i have to accept their beleifs as right. I guess we'll see how it works out in the end...eh??? Peace out.
