Goodnight oceanwave-u seem to be goiing through some turbulent waves-but always remember that Jesus walked on the seas to get to Peter so he can bid you come to him also. To answer this question you need to re-evaluate your beliefs -what do you believe? The first line of the Creed goes like this I believe in God The Father the Almighty-those are profound words-repeat them to yourself and tell me what emotion does it invoke from you-If God is Father and Almighty then you should be able to come to him and open yourself and let him know what's going on in your life-whether it's grey skies or blue skies all God really wants from us is to know he's there for us-he loves to share what's going on in our everyday life even the minor things that you may consider unimportant-I can give you a classic example this evening I was on my way home as I left my office it was raining heavily -I just asked God let it happen that my transport home be Divinely guided do you know what happened-by the time i reached the transport stand a bus was touting for me i entered and reached to the end of part of my journey-on realizing at the next station there was no transport I began to walk home trusting that God would provide and trust me he did no sooner did he allow someone from Church to stop and give me a lift home-and all it caused was just to lift up mine eyes towards the hills from whence does my help come-but in God my Father(psalm 121)-nothing is too small or too big that you can't bring it to God in prayer-and trust me he may not answerr us in ways that we may understand - but draw nigh to his answer it's always what is for our highest good and best in the end-Trust this wasn't too long and you've dropped asleep but trust me it's all God asks come to me I will shoulder your yoke. take care God Bless

Religious beliefs are very personal, but I believe that good, honest people, regardless of religious beliefs, are all God's children! Babies don't know anything about Jesus, and if they die, don't you think they'll go to heaven? Jewish people don't believe that Jesus was the savior - you can't possibly believe that God turns his back on them!

If you are a Christian you must believe two things.
Jesus is fully man and fully God.
Jesus died and was resurrected for our sins.

Please note that Jesus is God.

A reading of the Old testament will reveal that there have been other ways...

Jesus is fully man and fully God.

A reading of the Old testament will reveal that there have been other ways that are not operative any more.

"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved" (Acts 4.12).
"I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but by me" (John 14.6).

John 3:18 - Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.

"He who has the Son has life; he who has not the Son of God has not life" (I John 5.12).

"And I tell you, everyone who acknowledges me before men, the Son of Man also will acknowledge before the angels of God; but he who denies me before men will be denied before the angels of God" (Luke 12.8-9).

I am not wise enough to know how God will work things out. I have read lots of theories that range the full gamut. I have good reason to believe they are all wrong, but I do have faith in Him.

I also believe your name must be written in the Book of Life. God seems not to want everyone. I do not know why.

Yes, Christ is the only way to God. Christ was God in the flesh on earth. Yet, he existed in Heaven, prior to coming to earth. God the Father, Jesus the son, and the Holy Spirit, also known as the Trinity, are all one in the same as God, yet 3 distinct parts. The most famous scripture comes from the book of John 3:16, which says, "God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life." God makes it clear that the only way to Him a...

Yes, Christ is the only way to God. Christ was God in the flesh on earth. Yet, he existed in Heaven, prior to coming to earth. God the Father, Jesus the son, and the Holy Spirit, also known as the Trinity, are all one in the same as God, yet 3 distinct parts. The most famous scripture comes from the book of John 3:16, which says, "God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life." God makes it clear that the only way to Him and to salvation, is through His Son, Jesus Christ. How did God give His Son to the world? Through the shedding of Christ's blood on the cross, where He actually became sin, the sins of all those who have lived before Christ came to earth, the sins of those who lived during His lifetime, and those who were not yet born. He bore all of them, to clear the slate for the rest of us. He did this, so we could spend eternity in Heaven, and not condemned to Hell. So, yes, Jesus is the only way.

Don't be fooled and led to believe that good works and nice behavior will get you into Heaven, because that is a trap. It's a lie, plain and simple. Titus 3:5,6 tells us, "Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior. Ephesians adds, "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.(Eph 2:8.9).

To receive salvation, you must declare that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, died for your sins, rose 3 days later, and went to Heaven to sit at the right hand of the Father. You must accept Him as your personal Savior, by turning your life over to Him. This is called being "born again." There is a website called gotanswers.org that has several answers to many spiritual questions. This is a great site. I know it will be very helpful to you. God bless!

God proves his love for us by helping us individually to take advantage of the benefits of Christ’s sacrifice. Jesus said: “No man can come to me unless the Father, who sent me, draws him.” (John 6:44) Yes, the father personally draws us toward his Son and the hope of eternal life. How? By means of the preaching work, which reaches us individually, and by means of his holy spirit, which help us grasp and apply spiritual truths despite our limitations and imperfections. “With a love to time indefinite I have love...

That is why I have drawn you with loving-kindness.”—Jeremiah 31:3.
Acts 4:12 Futhermore there is no salvation in anyone else for there is not another name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must get saved.
1 John 4:9 By this the love of God was manifest in our case because God sent forth his only begotten son into the world that we might gain life through
him.
