Christians is Christianity the right religion for everbody?

Question

If you answer no then how are people gonna be saved? Does that mean everybody who the religion isn't right for is going to hell? Are there any loopholes? How packed is hell gonna be?

If you answer yes Christianity is right for everyone. Then why are so many people leaving the religion and joing other religions or leaving religion altogether?

Answer 1

Good question.

This is what we call part of the Christian bubble.

Everyone Christian: good.
Everyone not Christian: going to hell.

Answer 2

Let's avoid the inflammatory words - namely, "right" or "wrong." 'Cause someone's bound to mention how the truth is "subjective," that "right and wrong" is a matter of personal conception. That's rubbish. There is the perceived truth, and then there are the FACTS. God's Word is true, the Gospel is a fact. If the facts don't suit you, we can't help you. You've got to believe the facts or you're goin' to hell, no questions asked. No loopholes. There's no divine lawsuit to be won with wordplay here. Hell is going to be packed like the Bible said.

Answer 3

I think there is extensive misconception about what Christianity really is. We have been so ingrained with denominations like Catholic, Methodist, Baptist, that we expect this is the way God intended it to be. So many are way too caught up on communion, or tithing, or philosophies of various congregations that the value of the most important things is discounted. I am a very simple person and I am not saying anything new, but I feel the most important things are:

-There are beings greater than humans, that created humans.
-Man is sinful
-Man needs help
-Jesus is help
-God is Love
-Love one another.

To me everything else follows after that. I think the original Christian churches that Paul was sending letters to (Thessalonica, Phillipi) would be the kind of churches for anybody. Churches that were practicing Christianity before the message of Christ was manipulated to satisfy men. Anyways, I am not going to pretend to know the answers to your sub-questions, but I guess there will be plenty of space in hell....

Answer 4

Christianity isn't 'a' religion. It is a relationship, which spans MANY religions. So yes, there is a version of Christianity for everyone. However, unfortunately, Hell will indeed be 'packed'. This is because we know that there is a narrow gate and a wide one, and we know that the wide one does NOT lead to Heaven. And apparently, there's only one other choice. You can wish all you want, but the sad fact is that all you can do is make sure YOU personally don't end up in the wrong place. God has provided a means by which EVERYONE can find Him. It's not your call to decide if He did it 'right' or not. If everyone is given the ultimate choice for him/herself, you can only be responsible for yourself, just as I am responsible only for myself. Once you are aware of this, my job is done, and your eternal fate is in your own hands. Make sure you think that through before rejecting His offer.

Answer 5

What you need to know, is the idea of the book of life. Before God created man, it was already determined who would be saved, and whose name would be in the book of life. I can't really tell you why some are chosen and not others. I can't remember well enough without having to go and look it up. Anyway, there are many different views on hell, depending on your denomination, some don't even beleive there is a hell, that hell is just a term for death and the absence of salvation.
May you live forever.

Answer 6

Well first of all christianity is more of a life living rather than a religion because a true christian won't be focused on his own efforts to reach God nor he would do rituals do reach him.

NOW, being a christian is to follow and be how Jesu Christ lived, christianity can be seen a "religion" but is actually a lifestyle. Someone who is not christian can be saved in the term that he has not heard Jesus' teachings but do what is right (not kill, lie, fornication, etc. which are the basic rules), but if he's concious that Jesus is the only way and refuses then he could not be saved, if not God has justice and can't condem him; but is our mission to tell him about Jesus because Only Him can make his life better.

Answer 7

As a Christian, obviously I believe that Christianity is the "correct" religion. I believe that there are people who called themselves Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, Muslims, etc. will be in Heaven, because the Bible says that all who call on the name of the Lord will be saved (or something like that...)

Now, I'm not entirely sure that I understand your question. Are you asking if anyone can be a Christian? I believe so (that anyone can be), and that anyone can be forgiven and saved.

Answer 8

if ur not christian then u go to hell. Not just christian. Sum christinans believe if udo good things u go 2 heaven, and it doesn't matter wat u beleive. Dats total b.s. It's all about God. Catholics remove and add stuff to the bible which isn't good. Muslims just made up their religion. Jewish people believe only in the old testement not the new. So they believe in God not Jesus, but they r the same thing. So Chritainity SHOULD be the rite religion 4 everyone. And nobody except people who r in hell rite now don't no how packed hell is. I can assure u though dat it's probably really packed.

Answer 9

Of course we Christians think that way. But what happens to unbelievers was a question I asked a former Bishop of many years experience in the Middle East, working amongst other faiths. His answer was, "I don't know, but I'm sure God has a plan for them". In other words it's a mystery.

Answer 10

As a Roman Catholic my answer must be yes,

However, we are now going through our Easter, when 21 centuries ago, Jesus Christ died in the Cross to redeem all of us, no matter their colour or beliefs.

I strongly think that all those who live according to the Natural Law are entitled to be saved by the Lord, irrespective of the religion they may follow.

As for Hell, it is possible, as Dante already assumed, that it may be packed with a lot of people who think they deserve the Paradise.

Answer 11

There is only one universal religion given to all by Christ all other sects of Christianity are man made
Scripture reveals this Church to be the one Jesus Christ built upon the rock of Saint Peter (Matt. 16:18). By giving Peter the keys of authority (Matt. 16:19), Jesus appointed Peter as the chief steward over His earthly kingdom (cf. Isaiah. 22:19-22). Jesus also charged Peter to be the source of strength for the rest of the apostles (Luke 22:32) and the earthly shepherd of Jesus' flock (John 21:15-17). Jesus further gave Peter, and the apostles and elders in union with him, the power to bind and loose in heaven what they bound and loosed on earth. (Matt. 16:19; 18:18). This teaching authority did not die with Peter and the apostles, but was transferred to future bishops through the laying on of hands (e.g., Acts 1:20; 6:6; 13:3; 8:18; 9:17; 1 Tim. 4:14; 5:22; 2 Tim. 1:6).

By virtue of this divinely-appointed authority, the Catholic Church determined the canon of Scripture (what books belong in the Bible) at the end of the fourth century. We therefore believe in the Scriptures on the authority of the Catholic Church. After all, nothing in Scripture tells us what Scriptures are inspired, what books belong in the Bible, or that Scripture is the final authority on questions concerning the Christian faith. Instead, the Bible says that the Church, not the Scriptures, is the pinnacle and foundation of the truth (1 Tim. 3:15) and the final arbiter on questions of the Christian faith (Matt. 18:17). It is through the teaching authority and Apostolic Tradition (2 Thess. 2:15; 3:6; 1 Cor. 11:2) of this Church, who is guided by the Holy Spirit (John 14:16,26; 16:13), that we know of the divine inspiration of the Scriptures, and the manifold wisdom of God. (cf. Ephesians 3:10).
