Accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and living by His example everyday will get you to Heaven.

Well, because that would be worshiping two G-ds. That's what Judaism stated.

Wrong. One 'G-d' (essence), 3 persons. Also, Judaism had NO problem with that thinking until Jesus became the 2nd 'person' in the early 2nd Century CE...

Jews are the creators of 'Trinitarian' doctrine.​

Jesus
So was talking with my mom and she asked


"Have you accepted that Jesus is your Lord and Savior"

And im just like :patrice:

I Truly believe God exists..but I just have doubts on Jesus..and too many questions because I have felt I have been told lies my whole life.

Why when I pray to God do I have to acknowledge Jesus when God is the creator.

I have doubts on Jesus and I don't feel right praying because I've been taught to acknowledge Jesus in your prayers:patrice:

It just really irks me that I get told that you have to believe in Jesus..sin and be a fukk up..meanwhile someone who believes in God...good dude but not really a believer in Christ isn't going to heaven.

Like I know all these people in my family constantly name dropping, and thanking Jesus..bunch of hypocritical shyt..judging,gossiping but it's all okay because they believe in Jesus?

Like I believe there are people who live Christlike and they show it in their actions..meanwhile it's people who pray to Jesus and all , that really don't or even really like they try.


Many people say they know Jesus but you couldn't tell them apart from the next one. The big issue isn't if they know Jesus but if He knows them.

Matthew 7:16-23 KJV Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? [17] Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. [18] A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. [19] Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. [20] Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. [21] Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. [22] Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? [23] And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

I could accept him as the messiah if he fulfilled all the laws.

As soon as you prove that all the laws had to be fulfilled at one time or within a specific time period, you can try to justify that mode of thinking, but you'd still be wrong in your assessment of the situation. No one at the time thought that way. In fact, the consensus was that the 'Messiah' would arrive at the end of history. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it isn't quite the end of history just yet so there's still time.​

It seems a Christian missionary was visiting with remote Inuit (aka, Eskimo) people in the Arctic, and had explained to this particular man that if one believed in Jesus, one would would go to heaven, while those who didn't, would go to hell.

The Inuit asked, "What about all the people who have never heard of your Jesus? Are they all going to hell?'


The missionary explained, "No, of course not. God wants you to have a choice. God is a merciful God, he would never send anyone to hell who'd never heard of Jesus."

The Inuit replied, "So why did you tell me?"
