no, and i'm sick of this question!!!

Answer 2

When a person accepts Christ as their savior they get not only eternal life, but freedom from the bondage of sin in this life. He becomes a vital part of your daily life. You then know the reality of His presence in your life. He is alive today and changing peoples lives more surely than any 100% true fact that you can name.

If the story about Jesus was all just a lie, would we be still talking about Him 2000 years later?

Jesus says in John 14:6 "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life: no man cometh unto the Father except but through me."

True Biblical Christianity is the only religion in the world that has the final answer and total solution to man's sinful nature.

Answer 3

Since false Christs shall arise to DECEIVE,
the objective is not to "believe", but "know";
For "know not" devils "believe": James 2:19,
and know nots constantly require forgiveness.

Will of God is "finished" in John 17, not John 19.
Sin(Law), when it is finished, brings death, not life.
See James 1:15 concerning it is finished in Jn 19.

The objective is to go "through" the cross unto life,
not to get hung up on the cross and death thereof.
"Cursed EVERYONE that hangeth on a tree": Gal 3.

His Grace cannot lie(law) nor die(law).
Law Law children and servants do both.

Churches are where many get spiritually abused.
The exhortation is: "come out from among them".
The reason is: as "in Adam(them: Gen 5) all die".

Pst: what the Spirit saith "unto the churches" x 7 is
in Galatians: only book written "unto the churches".

Bible only compares two sorts of religion:
- IMPure religion: Law
- Pure religion: Grace

Pst: Pure religion arrived undefiled & remained unspotted.
His Grace neither tempts(laws) nor can be tempted(lawed).

John 3:16 speaks of Law as God.
John 3:17 speaks of Grace as God.

John 1:1 speaks of Law as the word.
John 1:2 speaks of Grace as the word.

Pst: John is the only "verily verily" gospel account.
The other three gospel accounts are only "verily".

The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

Answer 4

Yes I do believe in Christ because I have faith and believe in the Word of God.I do attend church regularly and am very active in my youth group and actually teach Sunday school. I do not believe in any other religions because the Bible says not to have any other gods other than the God in the Bible. I live my life to worship Him and do not care what others think or believe. I know that the life that I am living will lead me to eternal life.

Answer 5

I do believe that Jesus is Christ, but I'm not a christian.
I'm a moslem, and I believe that Jesus is just a mere man and a prophet, and an apostle of God.
Jesus is God's Servant, and His Word but nothing more.
'"Here is my SERVANT" (Matthew 12:18)
"The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified HIS SERVANT Jesus."(Acts 3:13)

I don't believe that Jesus died on the cross, and so do some gnostics:
"For my death, which they think happened, (happened) to them in their error and blindness, since they nailed their man unto their death...It was another, their father, who drank the gall and the vinegar; it was not I. They struck me with the reed; it was another, Simon, who bore the cross on his shoulder. I[t] was another upon Whom they placed the crown of thorns." (Second Treatise of the Great Seth)

I believe in Islam, and I believe in the Bible (most of parts) and the Koran (entirely).
I believe in Islam because it makes sense to me.

I don't believe in John 3:16 literally. I suppose it's just a metaphor, just like this verse:
"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called SONS OF GOD" (Matt 5:9)

We believe that God is the One and only GOD, The Absolute GOD, NEVER DID HE BEGET NOR HE WAS BOGOTTEN.

Answer 6

I wonder what school this is...


Nobody can prove any gods, much less a specific god, exist; many people will tell you their god exists but no others, but will never be able to prove it, even if they think so. Some will threaten you with eternal pain or promise eternal joy to get you to believe in their god; these are all stories, created for people who were scared long before we understood the universe. Now we have no more reason for these superstitions.

How terrible the bible in particular is:

Answer 8

I only believe in what is real .
To see if it is real ,I must be able to See ,Hear ,Touch ,smell or taste it .The five senses we are born with are the ones that will keep us from being duped .
Reality is the way of the intelligent .
Religion is the way of fooling yourself that life goes on after we die .

Answer 9

I don't have enough confidence in the Bible to consider myself a Christian. I have my reservations about a source that uses itself as its own confirmation of its validity.

On paper, I would be a genetic theist. I've tried giving myself more specific labels, but none of them seem to fit properly.

Answer 10

yes, I believe there was a man named jesus ....there IS historical evidence of that.....but I don't believe he was as godly at the bible made him out to be.......no he didn't die on the cross for me, but for his beliefs, I don't agree with a lot of bible, No I don't go to church any more, I am more of a spritual person, don't own a bible

Answer 11

yes i beleive in Christ.
yes i beleive he died for me on the cross.
yes i am a beleiver.
yes i go to church.
no, none of them are beleivable.

"For God do loved the world, that he gave his on and only son, that whoever beleive in him, shall not perish, but have eternal life." (John 3:16) one of the best verses in the bible
