1. Why do you believe in Jesus Christ? Experiences in my life that proved it enough.

Answer 2

"1. Why do you believe in Jesus Christ?"
Because He led me to Him. I wouldn't know anything unless He wanted me. That's why I can truthfully say, " Glory to God."

"2. Do you truely follow his teachings?"
Yes. I trust him. That's what He wanted. He wants those who worship him in spirit and truth. And that's what I do, as much as I can whenever I can.

"3. Do you tell people they are going to hell just because they don't believe what you believe?"
No. I tell them that if I trust God through Jesus Christ they can be saved. There has been a lot pof other Christians that bring the message of condemnation, I try to being the words of life and peace.

"4. What do you expect your reward to be when you stand before God at judgement day?"
That is a very deep subject. I wonder about those things, but would not suppose my wondering to be accurate. There will be a city to live in, and New Earth to inherit, but beyong that, all is conjecture.

"5. Do you take the Holy Bible literally?"
Some parts of the Bible are to be taken literally, and some of it is symbolic. The parts that I take litterally are taken literally because I think that God has led me to understand it.

"6. Did you lie on any of the above questions?"
As far as I know, I did not. Though I tell you that I am quite capable of lying, I do not believe that I did it here.

Answer 3

I'll try to be honest :)

1. Why do you believe in Jesus Christ?
It was pretty hard to deny Him when He met me head on. There are too many experiences to explain that here. It really is a heart and head reality.

2. Do you truely follow his teachings?
I try to do the best I can.

3. Do you tell people they are going to hell just because they don't believe what you believe?
NO, never. I grieve for them as Jesus grieves.

4. What do you expect your reward to be when you stand before God at judgement day?
I will spend eternity in heaven with Him. Beyond that - whatever He gives me is fine.

5. Do you take the Holy Bible literally?
Yes

6. Did you lie on any of the above questions?
No

blessings :)

Answer 4

1) The whole Bible tells of Jesus and His work through history. I believe it.
2) I do try to follow His teaching, but that is not why I will be going to Heaven. One goes to Heaven by having a relationship with Christ, not by a system of rule-following.
3) I do not know who is going to hell. I do know a person is going to hell if they don't believe what Christ believes.
4) I take the literal parts of the Bible literally.
5) No. Why would I lie about this?

Answer 5

1. The Holy Ghost have confirmed the truthfulness of Jesus Christ to me.

2. Yes, but sometime I do fail to overcome my weaknesses.

3. No, every man has their own weakness to over come. It is not my call to made such unkind judgement.

4. No other reward is necessary. The Lord has already saved me from death, and allow me the chance to repent, what more can I ask for? I will be happy if I will be allowed into a corner of the Heaven.

5. Yes, as far as it is translated correctly.

6. No, all are truthful answers.

Answer 6

1. I Have looked at other religions and they do not measure up. Jesus has changed my life and walks with me daily.
2. I study the Bible and do all I can to truly follow His teachings. I have to admit that I still need work I am still a sinner and mess up sometimes, but He forgives me and makes me clean again.
3. I rarely tell people they are going to hell, I do tell them that Jesus is alive and real and can give them salvation. Most people already know the hell part.
4. Jesus said he is preparing a place for me in heaven. I expect that and I have no idea what he will have me do but I know I will love it.
5.Yes. I believe the Bible is God's inerrant word. Jesus told parables and stories but everything else is true.
6 no. not to my knowledge.

Answer 7

1. I was raised in church by a two lovely Christian parents, so I was a bit biased to begin with. But as I grew He proved Himself to me in ways I only wish I had time to describe, if I could even put it into words. I'd love to try, but I think it's best if people ask for Jesus to reveal Himself in a way they can understand. I get the feeling He likes doing that.

2. I try but I must confess I fail miserably more than I'd like to admit. But, with His help, I'm getting better. I'm constantly amazed at His kindness and patience as He teaches me how to follow Him better.

3. Not anymore. I used to be a pretty narrow-minded Christian in my younger years but God's helped me to be more compassionate and open-minded about Him. No, I don't tell anyone they're going to hell - besides, the amount of times I've screwed up, I have no such right. I'm more concerned with helping people get to know God better and figure that He can handle the rest from there.

4. Definitely wont be what I deserve! I was thinking about this today - the Bible talks about us receiving crowns but in truth, I can't wait to give it all back to Him. The best reward will simply be hugging Him for the first time. Just being with Him will be more than enough for me. *dreamy look*

5. In parts. It's hard to take poetry, apocalyptic literature and parables literal - especially since they're not intended to be taken so. I also have no problem with small inconsistencies or grammatical errors. The truth is still true regardless of grammar and I never want to enforce my 21st century western perspective on first century Jewish writers. That's just silliness.

6. Nope. Unless I'm a pathological liar... hmm...

Answer 8

1) Because no one has ever spoken anything quite like Him that has stirred as much debate and has had such an ongoing influence over the entire globe. Ghandi, Buddha, and others like them were no doubt influential in their time and spheres, but not even close to the power and influence of Christ's level.
2) Not even as nearly close as I should.
3) No. But at the same time, why do they keep inquiring about someone and something they claim to not believe in? It reveals a subtle but real fear on their part.
4) Nothing. I don't do what I do for rewards. It's not about me.
5) Not entirely. It's obvious to me what is literal, and what is symbolic such as the prophecies.
6) No. I'm not a liar.

Answer 9

Q1: Because He is the Truth, the Way and the Light. He is the only way to heaven and He is the only way to the father(creator). He is the savior as He died for my sin. I would be in hell if not for Him on the cross. Many things happen in my life(positive) can only be explained that God(Jesus) saved and help me. My life has change because Jesus Has touch my heart and saved me. Q2: I try my very best to follow Jesus' teaching, after all I am only human and He came to this world to save the sinners(including me). I will avoid all those sin in Ten Commandments, 7 deadlest sins and all those sins that will send a person to hell(unforgiveness)! Q3: No, I will not tell the person that he/she is going to hell as I am not the judge. Judgement is done by God and God alone. I will try my very best to bring that person to Christ or back to Christ by the way I live my life. For I am His instrument but conviction belongs to God alone. I will not force that person to convert/change even if I know that the path that the person take is leading him/her to hell. I will pray for that person to change his ways and repents. Q4: The only reward that I look for is to enjoy God's company in Heaven and to sing His praises to Him for all eternity. Q5: No I don't take the bible literally especially regarding the creation. From Father abraham, the story should hold good. To me the story before Abraham is an inspiring story only. It tells an ispiration of the creation story! Q6: No! Lying is a sin! I am trying to lessen my time in Purgatory!!!

Answer 10

1. Because God chose me before I chose Him. Because I am a sinner who needs the forgiveness that He promises.
2. I try, but I am a sinner and I fail.
3. I try to use judgment on that because it can put people off. However, it is true. God is taking believers in Jesus to heaven. Others will not be there.
4. My reward, for as much as I know now, is eternal life in heaven, a place far better than we can imagine.
5. Yes, but knowing that some passages have a figurative meaning. It is the source of truth for faith and practice.
6. no
