Just a thought

i've noticed mostly christians posting in this forum, so i was wondering, would you still believe in Christianity and Jesus if you were born in Israel?? how about India??

It would be hard because nowadays the Gospel isnt preached often. Alot of other religions are condemning christianity as a whole. I know that there is missionaries all over the world preaching so I hope I would be one of the ones to be saved.

And there is lots of different religions...... All of them have the right to their own beliefs.... none of them are wrong.

Depends what you mean by wrong. In Christianity, we have The Living God who does not want you to worhsip someone or something else although he gived you free will to. To get itno heaven, you must be saved and have a personal relationship with the living God. Worshipping Buddha will not get you into heaven. Satanism is a religion, and I do believe that is wrong.

yup..i got it before....

Because my definition (being a Christian) vs your definition of whats wrong is gonna be different.

I believe everyone is enititled to their own beliefs...God set it up that way and so did the USA.

As far as you being a christian, you would think that believing in anything other than the living God is wrong if you were.

Your missing the true point of any religion and the reason why there is so many. Theirs is always right. WHy do you think mormons and JW's knock on doors? Why do you think Christians send people to the mission field. I believe anything is wrong when it goes against something written in the bible. For example, I believe abortion is wrong. I believe sex before marriage is wrong. I base these things from the bible. Christians do not persecute other religions. Christianity is the most hated religion in the world. It is the only religion in the world where you works cant get you into *insert your word for heaven here*. It is one where you believe and have faith in someone else rather than yourself.

And I most certainly can say everyone is entitled to believe what they want. If I witness to them and they refuse the word, its their perogative. I think they are wrong for doing so but God said it up that way. If he wanted a bunch of mindless puppets he woiuld have created them instead.

You see buddists believe in enlightenment, that is there heaven.

I couldnt qoute a single part of the BOOK you are refering to.

Right, they believe in self...exactly what the bible warns against. People who believe in self are very cocky etc etc...

Actaully Ive got a number of freinds that are buddist that are by no means cocky.

Why Cypher are stereotyping people of another faith ? Thats like saying all people who belive in christianity are arogent and pigheaded, which i know isnt true.
