Child of God

October 20, 2011 1:59pm CST
Are you a born again christian? Is Jesus the Lord in your life? Do you know that if you have never believed that the Bible is the true word of God and ask forgiveness and called on the name of the Lord you will not be saved? John 3:16 Is your heart right with God? Do you realize that he could stop your heart beat at any time and he could let you die and go to Hell. I hope you get your heart right with him before it is eternally too late. glowin100

Yes, I am born a Christian and I firmly believe in him but we shouldn't take the Bible too literally. I have many friends from all walks of life and have a different religion and I know that God loves them too, they are too good people. I think the line you just proposed just tries to emphasize that we should love everyone and not be a bad person. If we were all bad, then society would be quite dysfunctional so the Bible warns us to be a humble and a good person. Good things will always come rewarded and sins can always be forgiven if you feel regret. The you put it, it makes religion and God so scary! God isn't scary and everyone believes in something different. We should embrace diversity!

Yes I agree with you. I'm a Catholic but I have a lot of friends in other religion. They live good lives. We do respect each other. We don't debate who is the right religion because it will only lead you to sin. Most of the time, when you criticize other denomination or religion, it is not good at all, it is a disrespect of what they believe in.It will make you to become self-righteous as what the Pharisees were doing during the time of Jesus. I heard from radio, televisions of other religions who claim that others will not inherit the kingdom of God unless, they will become their members. I believe that God is not like that. Unless we do good things, we pray, we prioritize God in our lives, we love ourselves and our neighbors, we don't oppress others, we don't judge, we help those in need out of mercy and compassion not because we are obliged to, we are humble not self-righteous, I believe all of these things will be our passport to inherit the kingdom of God regardless of what religion we belong. That is unity amidst diversity as what St. Paul said in one of his letters in the New Testament.

Actually no. I was born once and that seems to be enough. Perhaps I do not understand since I am not a Christian and see no need to be saved and nothing to be saved from. Most of the concept of hell prevalent in the western world comes from the work of the Italian poet Durante degli Alighieri and not from the Bible.

All of us are children of God regardless of religion.Millions of people lift up their eyes to one God and so many children calling to Him in many and different ways. One Father loving each the same.

I gave up Christianity over 60 years ago, and have never missed it! Jesus was a Great Teacher, not a God. Heaven and Hell are fictitious destinations and part of the religious Scam called Christianity, that has filled the coffers of Christian Churches for over 1500 years.

Yes I am. Once in my life I admitted I am a sinner, asked forgiveness and accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior. I have been crucified with Christ nevertheless I still live yet not I but it is Christ that lives in me. This life that I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God who loves me and gave Himself for me. So indeed Christ is my life. He changed my life and it is for Him that I live. Someday soon when my life on earth is done, I know I will go to heaven to met my beloved Lord and Savior face to face. And that is my glorious hope which no one else but real Christians like me only could have.

Yeah, I'm not a big advocate of the whole "oh wups, you just happened to slip into eternal damnation - Sucks for you!" attitude. Much like I don't think people slip into believing = instant eternal reward. But there are clear rewards for those who seek and find - which on an equally rational note - can't just be given for those who sought for a while or who never decided to care enough to start seeking in the first place. So, I'd say I'm not quite as reborn as I should be (I need to increase my whole-heartedness), but I am definitely not part of the born again sect either.

I received Jesus Christ in my life 13 years ago, and I am still learning, and I have still ask for forgiveness because God knows me and I am a sinner looking for God, and recognizing that I am weak, and that without him,I can do nothing but, No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.Romans 8:37
