I do, based on John 14:6 - "Jesus saith unto him, I am the Way, The Truth, and the Life: No man cometh to the Father but by Me." Christ, and Christ alone, is the only way to salvation. Please note: This topic's purpose is evangelism; please keep the topic relating around Christian subjects - i.e. the Bible, and, of course, the question. Thank you, and God bless, Crushmaster.
I believe that Jesus is the sole way to heaven but those who don't believe in him.. Meaning those who haven't had the opportunity to reject Christ can still go to heaven.. But without Christ it wouldn't be possible if that's what your saying.
I tell you what I believe, if there is a heaven, Ill get there by doing what is right in my heart and not just following what someone else laid down as a 'stairway to heaven' so to speak.
Now if that means doing what Jesus would what, then fine.
I don't just blindly follow a religion, but I do what I think is right. Not that im perfect, but who is.
Yes, it is simple. It is simple enough for a child to understand.:) That is the beauty of it - the beauty of the Gospel of Christ. Unless His shed blood covers our sins, heaven is most certainly not our home.

Based on this, then, it would be best to not tell anyone at all about Christianity, because that way everyone would get to Heaven.
Nah. I have a very naive concept that if you're a good person you go to Heaven. (If such exist) I don't follow the Bible, I don't go to church, I don't pray. I'm rather indifferent about this now. I just don't know. If I think about "religion" it feels very natural and ridiculous at the same time. A way to deceive ourselves from the inevitable fact that we will die and that's the end of it. But just like others, I don't like to think like that and therefore hope there to be a God.

Only Christianity isn't a religion. It is a relationship - a relationship with Jesus Christ.

Can't speak for Crush, but I don't see Hell as a place of eternal torture...
I think we can safely assume that Mister Fire-and-brimstone over there does. :P Anyway, I'm intrigued - what do you see it as? A place without God, just as I see heaven as place with God.

A place with a non-stop concert of Ozzy Osbourne, Marilyn Manson, Disturbed, Godsmack, System of a Down,... Where everyone walks around naked and having fun. :)

Only Christianity isn't a religion. It is a relationship - a relationship with Jesus Christ.:roll: Yes, very nice. And how is something being a relationship with your chosen messiah mutually exclusive with it being a religion?

Christianity is a religion whether you like it or not.

It is described in the Scriptures as a place of eternal fire torment for those who hacve not accepted Christ as their Savior and repent of their sins. Another place says "There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth". But God's Son, Jesus Christ, can save us from it. Because if we have accepted Him as savior and repent of our sins, His Blood will cover our sins, and we will be saved from the eternal damnation of hell.

Son, you're-a creepin' me out. Why exactly does that creep you out? 'Cause the way I sees it, you're speakin' complete jibber jabber, boy.
i dont wanna think of an eternity of anything. but i will say this i do not believe jesus to be the son of god i will acknowledge the exsistence of jesus as a normal man who was kind and died for what he believed but he was not the son of the creators of this world or the universe. now kindly take your religious threads to a religious forum.

It would be better for God just to destroy unsaved humans when they die. No eternal torture necessary. As it is, I haven't committed infinite sin, so why should I suffer infinitely? Besides... that it says that in the messy, evil mess that is the Old Testament is irrelevant, given that plenty of Christians take the OT with a pinch of salt.
