Is one religion sufficent enough to contain the essence of God? I mean think about it there are so many religions and so many different people in the world from different cultural backgrounds that it makes me wonder how can anybody say that their religion is the only true religion and only way to reach and have an eternal life in heaven while the rest will suffer in hell. Now does this make me a bad Christian or wrong for not believing that a majority of the world is going to hell? Don't get me wrong I don't believe that everybody is going to heaven either as there are some truly evil people in the world who show no remorse for their actions at all but I have trouble believeing that a majority of the world who isn't Christian is going to burn in hell for an eternity as well as there are some really good and sound people who have very good morals.

hbbuyze, 

Here are a few scriptures you forgot;

 

John 1-5 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

 

John 1:10-12 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.

 

John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

 

John 14:7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him

 

John 10:30 I and my Father are one.

 

John 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

 

Yes I believe in the trinity, God the father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. It is apparent that Jesus being God in the flesh, returned to heaven and sent his Holy Spirit to dwell in the believer until he comes to claim his own.

 

John 16: 13-15 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

 

Philippians 2:6-8  Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 

 

I John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, The Father, The Word, and The Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

Be Blessed Dove 





Be Blessed. Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity (Love), I am become as a sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vauneth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seekth not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is (Love) charity.

A saying I heard once answers your question in a very simple manner. God made so many different kinds of people. Why would he choose only one way to serve him.

   Rev.20:11-15 describes the second death. Verse 15 (And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire). These are not God's children. These are the children of darkness.

Sent them a sign, sent them a sign, sent them a sign, but they closed their eyes.

But they closed their eyes...

Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run
He prophesied this day would come
You can close your eyes when he sends you the sign
You can just pretend that you have plenty of time
But when you're caught in the eye of the storm

Nowhere to turn as the thunder crashes
So many time you were warned
Now you're caught in the eye of the storm
Apocalypse stands at the door
You're caught in the eye of the storm

Ages ago, voices so cruel
"Noah" they cried, "You're such a fool"
And still today, skeptics abound
Until the water will cover the ground
And they are caught in the eye of the storm

Nowhere to turn as the thunder crashes
So many time you were warned
Now you're caught in the eye of the storm
Apocalypse stands at the door
You're caught in the eye of the storm

You could give him your heart
While you still have the time
You can give him your soul
You can give him your mind
You can fall on your knees
You could cry out "Save me"

One day when the lightning crashes
One day when the thunder rolls
One day when apocalypse is standing knockin' at your door
You'll be safe in the arms of Jesus
You'll be safe forever more
You'll be praising him forever
What a glorious reward
You'll be safe with the Lord
Not caught in the eye of the storm

Caught in the eye of the storm

Nowhere to turn as the thunder crashes
So many time you were warned
Now you're caught in the eye of the storm
Apocalypse stands at the door
You're caught in the eye of the storm

(God:)

 Has created man and man has created many God's, religions,ignorences,and superstitions . 

Well first of all God is not nor has he ever been a religion.  That's the first mistake humans make.  Jesus is not a religion, Apostle Paul started the term for those that were of Christ.


 
Time Of Jonah. And thou shall speak my words to them, Whether they will hear or whether they will forbear: for they are  most rebellious, And also thou son of Man, thus sayeth the Lord God unto the Land Israel { and America } upon this land; an end an end is come upon the four corners of the land.
 
This nation is a nation of one people and ONE GOD, and a nation under God, and a nation trusting in God, a nation that made an agreement with God that no man would ever serve in it's government that was not a man of God.This is the original constitution of the United States of America.  Now you have become as tyre, and you have chosen the cherub that covets, and you have let strange Gods come into You; You have become as Sodom and Egypt; You have also let the son of the Egyptian women come into you, the children of Moab,  ye worshipers of Nimrod, the false Jesus, Mohammed.
 
Lest you all come together as one, you shall be devoured, even your militaries have disallowed the name of Jesus in ending their prayers. 
 
Preacher man and aa=America, this is a warning to you, You shepherds of the sheep, your land of the free REMOVE FROM YOUR HOUSE AND FROM THE Lord's House and from the Lord's Land, the Sodomites male and female alike. 
 
Put your house and this land in order, let no evil enter , stay away from the false Church's and come together to form a hedge and stand in the Gap before the Lord God
