As much as possible I want to know what the experts know. Like if we knew Jesus is God but never believed can we still be saved?

The devil knows Jesus is God but He has no faith in Him and He wants to destroy God's kingdom, or the souls of all the people.

Some People know Jesus but they do not want to believe because it is inconvenient or their parents aren't Christians or they don't see any need to or they are happy as they are or no one told them they need a religion or they just haven't received the gift of faith yet.

Jesus is NOT God.. Where do you people get this? Jesus even said pray to God in this way... etc.. He didn't say pray to me...

Isn't the 1st commandment “have no other Gods before me” ??????

Jews, Muslims Catholics, Protestants, American Indians, etc who have ONE GOD above all others will see the Lord Thy God and hopefully find favor. Is the Lord Thy God Jesus? No, Jesus is the shepherd who will lead us to the Promised Land, (for some of us).

Jesus is the SON of God. Answer this question.. Are you your father? No… Are you the work of your father and are you not part of your father? YES… Do people say, “You look so much like your father” or “You sound like your father etc…”

That is my take on Jesus and God.. Read the Bible. All you need to get to Heaven is in there.. Listen only to what half men say.. Believe the Bible is true and follow it with conviction.

God Bless, (and Jesus Bless), you….


PS.. Believe it or NOT some people believe that BABIES go to hell because they never accepted Jesus with their mouth if they die before they can speak.. Isn’t THAT ridiculous.

ADDED... Wheew... I thoguht MY answer was LONG.. Some people are windbags...

Hope...

Please don't be afraid. No good person will ever go to hell... and you are most definitely a good person. I know - because to ask such a question, you'd have to be a good person.

If a child does something bad, do you think a loving father would punish that child by sending them to hell FOREVER? So if we are the children of God, and God is Ultimate Love & Forgiveness, then how can God the Father send any of His children to hell to burn eternally?

If God cannot Forgive, then why is Forgiveness preached so much in the bible? Do we really think that God does not practice what He preaches?

This may be hard for some humans & Christians to accept, but God will always love you no matter what. Even if you don't believe in God, God will STILL love you no matter what.

Any loving human father or mother would actually do the same. How could God not?

When your heart hears the truth, it recognizes it. Learn to listen to your heart, and not necessarily to the "Bible" or those who call themselves "Christians."

Listen to your heart, for God gave you your heart, your mind, and your soul for a reason. They are God's gifts to you.

If a belief seems unloving, for example, "Everyone who doesn't believe in Jesus, even if they are good people, will go to Hell," you have to ask your heart and mind and soul, is this truly a Loving Belief, befitting a God of Love?

Would you, a human being, send a kind, good person to hell FOREVER just because they didn't believe in Jesus?

It is obviously not loving for human beings, so how could it be true for God who is Love?

Do you not see this?

Be careful what your mind chooses to believe. If you believe such things, your heart will become less loving, rather than more loving.

You can only be saved while you are alive on this earth. Once you are dead it is too late. The Bible says that you must be born again to see the kingdom of God. If you are not saved, don't wait! Do it now. You never know when your last day might be. Also, if you know Jesus is God, then you must believe. How can you know something and not believe it.

The souls of those who do not believe in Jesus go to a place called Hades or Sheol and remain there until the "Great White Throne" judgment that is mentioned in Revelation 19 or 20. No one is in hell yet because no one has been officially judged yet. Believers go directly to be with Christ since the time of the cross.

Very interesting. This is it. The purpose of Jesus coming to the Earth was to come and tell humanity what is happening in the spiritual world. First and foremost one has to know what the soul is, where it comes from and where, and why it must go somewhere. But do we know what the soul is? we don't. Do we know who God is? We don't, apart from the little that the Bible has told us.
We are very blind because we cannot see what is happening in the spiritual world. The churches placed themselves as the institutions that represent God, while in reality they can't who God really is.
Now back to your question. Those who believe in Jesus go to Heaven. Why? Because that is where the soul comes from. When it finishes its mission on the Earth, it must go back to where it comes from for the circle to be completed. Die we must for that is the only way to release the soul. The soul is the builder. It uses the food, or the energy we take in as the building block. When one dies, the soul separates itself from the "house" i.e. the body and taken by angels to Heaven.
You can be saved as long as:
1) you don't worship any idols, including what the Catholic church presents as the images of Jesus and mary. Worship nothing created by the hand of man, be it Jesus, Buddha or whatever.
2) Be fair in the treatment of each other. The world today has an IDENTITY CRISIS. That is what I call it. We don't know who we are, where we come from and where we are going. The laws broght down by Moses [( who by the way was God Himself, just as Jesus came). I know there are going to be a lot of challenges to my position, but I'm ready to defend my position]. The laws are still the same. If we understand the basics, it will not matter who is an arab and who is what. T
The planet is created for us all to enjoy its content, to enjoy the many resources God in His wisdom has created for us. Join hands with me to make the world a better place.
I'm presently looking for a sponsor who can help me publish this wonderful book to tell humanity the entire story about God, His creations, who we are, where we come from, what we are doing here and where we go from here. It contains works that creates a common flatform for religion and science to thrive. This is thought as impossible, but I say IT IS POSSIBLE! If interested in this topic, get in touch with me at: godwin@mail333.com. There are lots of things to talk about.

Nobody will be saved or condemned unjustly.
All souls will soar to the spiritual world with the fruit of their own actions on earth. We will clearly see how we are deserved with the consequences of our deeds. Great joy or bitter regret fully depend on the use of our free will right here, and we cannot argue any more against our own obedience and disobedience to the One True God. Yes, we are responsible before Him, not before His preachers. We cannot argue that we don't obey because Your preachers are bad.
The One True God does not have to stand before us here to say what we should do, so He will not have to stand later before each soul to give indictment as we imagine in our immature mind. All His teachings are constantly sent to us through His Divine Messengers, and Their Holy Books are now easily accessible to all humanity on the Internet. Remember, Christ had promised that He would appear in the East and be seen instantly in the West.

i will find out once i am dead!!

There are many theories and speculations, but I like to think that for ALL of us who live on this earth, that we are all living in 'HELL' and that once we die, we shall ALL go to a 'nicer' place!

The soul, according to many religious and philosophical traditions, is a self-aware ethereal substance particular to a unique living being. In these traditions the soul is thought to incorporate the inner essence of each living being, and to be the true basis for sentience. In distinction to spirit which may or may not be eternal, souls are usually (but not always as explained below) considered to be immortal and to exist before their incarnation in flesh.

The concept of the soul has strong links with notions of an afterlife, but opinions may vary wildly, even within a given religion, as to what may happen to the soul after the death of the body. Many within these religions and philosophies see the soul as immaterial, while others consider it to possibly have a material component, and some have even tried to establish the mass (weight) of the soul.

But, please show proof that there is a 'heaven' and a 'hell' in the way described in religious/ biblical terms, where the 'soul' is meant to end up. depending on how you lived your life - does not anyone elsethink or consider that this is all just a ploy in controlling 'mankind' and the original , the very original culture of fear?? and don't forget that before 'christianity' there were other belief systems, where similar versions of 'heaven' and 'hell' existed - still just another way to fill the brain with fear??

God's word Say's the ONLY way to his kingdom is through his son (Jesus). You can not be saved unless you believe in him he, died for or sins. After death you will go to one of two places Heaven or hell, Jesus died to give you that choice. We are saved only by believing in him and by his grace, Not by anything we do,we can not earn our way into Heaven.

Heres my view on it.
ever look at an ant? comparitivly to ants, we are gods. we can allow that ant to live a perfect life, giving it food and water, we can let that ant live out its life as normal, or, we can crush it cruely beneith our sneakers.
I view the gods as being like we are to ants. they're so much higher than us, we can never fully comprehend them. and while one ant may only ever see one human, many humans only ever believe in one god. but i think that all the gods that have ever been named exist. Buddha, Krishna, Thor, Jesus. and just as we have the power with an ants life, they have the power with our life, be it eternal or phyisical.
i believe, therefore, that we will be held accountable to our beliefs. if i were to believe in the salvation from jesus, and yet turn from jesus and follow satan, then, when i die, i would go to hell, as a place of torment, as punishment for refusing the gift that Jesus offered to me.
However, i don't believe in Jesus. i follow the Norse and Germanic Gods. therefore, i believe that when i die, even if Jesus and Yahweh exist, my gods will have say over my soul for eternity, and that my soul will go where it is supposed to go, based off of my faith. (I personally hope to become a disir, which means i would, in death, choose to watch over my family, keep them safe and what not.)
Thats my personal view on it.

Believe what you will. No one can say for sure and always take other religious teaching with a pinch of salt, afterall, they are just the beliefs of another mortal person. What do you think is right?
