Answer 1

I believe exactly as you do. However, in the eyes of Christians we would still be going to hell because you have to believe Christ was God.

Answer 2

It seems you have a lot in common with the Cathars who lived in the South West of France for about 600 years ending in the 13/14 century.

They had faith in a God who they felt they could address without having to go to a Church or through a priest.

They also felt that it was fine to have a trade/profession yet still be an 'elder' (for want of a better word) in the faith structure.

Unfortunately for them the Catholic Church was very 'anti', if only because Cathars refused to pay their tithes to the Catholic Church.

So they raised an army and slaughtered them here there and everywhere.

When the attacked the city of Beziers with 20000 plus inhabitants the soldier in charge queried the order to kill everybody, he knew some were good Catholics.

'Don't worry' said the bishop in charge, 'God will know his own'

Long live religion!!!!

Answer 3

My Friend, all you have to do is what is right in your heart.....You do not have to read the bible, you do not have to go to church, you will be judged on your actions towards your fellow man and the rest does not really matter.
The belief that Jesus is god is a modern man made theory, and nothing more than that. Just because some churchman came up with the theory loads of people seem to think it is the word of God.
I reckon most of the people who say this dont even know why the theory came about.
Stay as you are, be good to your fellow man and you wont go far wrong.
Take care.

Answer 4

somebody may have already said this, i cant be bothered to read all the long answers but as CS Lewis put it

"I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: 'I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept His claim to be God.' That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic - on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg - or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse."

Answer 5

The Bible is quite clear that Jesus is the Christ (messiah).
The Bible is clear that God is our savior.
The Bible is also clear that the path to God is through the Christ.
Most Christians seem to believe God is the Christ, but not all.
Christians are either unitarian (God is God and Christ is his son) or trinitatian (God, Christ, and Holy Spirit are the same).
in the end, I say let's let God judge us.....too many Christians are trying to condemn each other today.

Answer 6

You don't HAVE to do anything.

From scripture we are told that the only way to God is through Jesus.

All scripture is inspired by God.

All Biblical prophecy that has been fulfilled to date has been 100% accurate.

Many people don't want to accept the fact that Jesus is the only way to God. You have a choice, there will come a day when every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.

This is from the Word of God. If you believe in God you can't ignore His Son, whom He sent to pay the penalty for sin.

It is your choice to receive salvation through Jesus or not. But He is the only way to God.

Answer 7

I suppose that depends on your religion. If you adhear to a specific religion there is a right and wrong answer that is most likely outlined in your religious texts. What that is in this case I wont proclaim to know.

I do not believe in any god persay. I believe that we all make our own fate and have control over our own choices, etc etc. I also will not proclaim to be more right than anyone in my spiritual views. I do believe that belief in something, anything, is better than to not believe at all. But in no way is belief in the catholic, jewish, or islamic faith more legit than someone who is suppose a pagan. Nobody should be able to tell anyone what is right or wrong to believe, since we have no definitive proof of what truely does exist.

Answer 8

Yes all will have to accept Jesus Christ as Lord.

Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Answer 9

I don't think Christ was God.
Christ is 'our Lord'.
Jesus Christ was the Son of God.

However, a few people on here I have noticed, are going around posting in lots of the religious questions, that Jesus was God.
That's what some ppl think or believe.

Christians follow Christ though.

Are you Christian? I mean it's up to you personally, what you believe.

Different Christians have different beliefs. Yet, technically, a Christian is someone who believes in Jesus Christ.
And in what he preached or taught.

Christians pray to God directly. At least the Church of England Christians do.

Answer 10

Well the truth is if you don't believe in Jesus you are rejecting
God as well which puts you with Satan , because you simply
reject the word of the God you claim to believe in . You can
not worship to Masters . Its your choice , Old & New testament God tells us of His Son Jesus and all prophesies
have come true in complete detail , Amen....

Answer 11

I know how you feel. Have you heard of the holy trinity though? My stepdad is Catholic and i always trun to him when i have a question. He isnt the gospel but he knows a fair amount of stuff. Well, one day we got talking and i was asking him about God and Jesus, and he said to me that they are one person- they make up a whole.

This is the theory that i have, that they are the same person, and have the same power as each other. Perhaps the reason you dont belive is because you cant see God, but God is Jesus, and Jesus is God.

Jesus, for me, is a human form of God, who was sent down toearth to save mankind and to save our souls. He came to show us the way forward, and that sins will be forgiven if we believe in him.

As Jesus said himself in the bible: "better are those that dont see yet believe". This is what faith is about. If you believe strongly, then you dont require any proof.

You dont have to accept it if you dont want to. I know its a strange thing to understand and even to this day, i find myself wondering about some things. It is natural.
