How can you be so sure.

Suppose you were born as a Hindu or Muslim or Buddhist , would you say the same thing ?


A good number of examples but let me mention a few.

Quite a lot of muslims, dedicated muslims, brought up in muslim background have had encouter with Christ and became chriistians. Stood their ground in the face of severe persecution from family members and community because of their conviction.

You hardly see a dedicated christian joining islam.
Most christians who join islam do so based on marriage, politics or money but none will tell you he had a personal encouter with Muhammed.

What I'm saying is that its not culture that determines true religion. Christianity has broken into various cultures and backgroud.

Like I said initially, there's only one God. The one in heaven. No one is arguing that fact.

About the true religion? It has to be the ones who base their teachings on the Bible. undecided That's all.

So what happens to those 85% Muslims who never become Christians, are they forever lost and damned ?

Thanks.

1. salvation is not restricted to the four walls of the church.

2. God can minister his true word and salvation to anybody anywhere and at anytime so you cant conclude that the rest of them who were not opportune to come to church are dying without salvation. The thief at the cross got saved at the cross not in the church.
God sees the heart, he knows the muslim(or other religion) man/woman that is earnestly seeking him with a genuine heart and God will never fail to minister the truth to such people. It is only those who do not hunger for the truth, the hypocrites etc that will be damned and this includes both the muslim/other religion and "christians" and every other person.

3. Jesus said "blessed are they who hunger and thirst after righteousness for they shall be filled" (Matthew 5;6). He didnt say blessed are those who go to church, or blessed are they who keep church doctrines and traditions.

Being a member of a church does not make one a true follower of Jesus.

Weah96:
A Muslim and a Christian won't disagree about the majority of issues in life, except when those issues are separated along religious lines.

They will both agree that a plane is a plane, a car is a car, a cellphone is a cellphone etc.

The minute they arrive at Jesus, an imaginary figure, all hell breaks loose.
Very true.

My bible tells me Jesus is the Way the Truth n the Life....no one comes to the Father except through Him. That's my belief n what I preach.....I don't know what other religions teach but we can all agree that there is God....let Him be the judge, for His ways are not our ways n his thoughts are not our thoughts. All I want is let's all practise what we preach, Shikena!
My humble submission

That is why most intellectuals dont believe in religion.
Most great men only believe there is God ''supreme being'' but dont believe in a specific religion.

If what they teach you there makes ur body suffer (self-denial) then remain there u have to let one lead the spirit should be the one to rule not the flesh.If your church is abhorred by many wordly pple stay,abide and pray not to be of the world.
If ur church TALKS AGAINST SIN and HATES it, remain there.You will be grateful for the aforestated declaration.

Which part? The part where wicked human beings are roasted like suya for eternity? Most wicked people don't live longer than 100 yrs.

What could someone possibly do in one lifetime to deserve eternal roasting? After the first 20,000 years of roasting Adolph Hitler, for example, is this loving God going to add more firewood to the fire?
Where will Adolph Hitler's mother be? In Heaven drinking champagne with the man who has been roasting her child for over one million years?

Sometimes I think, what if I was born into budahism? Or if God really support only one religion why would he send his creatures into different families with different religions? For instance, if islam is d one true religion I thought dat it is cheating for some people to be born into islamic family and others not. Well I once heard a friend say d lord is a God of variety!!

The answer is as simple as ABC! anything that takes you away from the worship of the one who created you, I mean the Lord of the heavens the earth and the universe is falsehood, without doubt. Anything that claims God is divided into segments yet still one , is deception. And the theory that most Muslims who bcm xtians, discovered Jesus(peace be upon him) is an illusion. 99% of the people I have seen abandon Islam( the religion that reminds you to submit to NONE other than the One who created you) and uphold a religion that says 1+1+1=1 is simply because of trials which they wer facing. And God reminds us in the Quran that "do the people think that they would be left to say we believe and would not be tested?" many Muslims have failed to understand this and unfortunately get misguided by the "Miracle workers". The earlier generation who believed in their Lord and ascribed no partners to Him wer definitely guided. Moses, Abraham, Jesus Christ, Muhammed, Noah(peace be upon them all) bowed down to their Creator. We have no doubt that they wer upon the truth. So there can be no doubt that the religion that goes in line with the message they brought is the truth. The religion of Islam was not introduced by Muhammad (SAW) rather he came with the same message of the earlier Prophets. The message of submission to One God without partners, no sons, no daughters, no wifes. "He begets not nor is He begotten"

How do you know that Jesus is not the Lord who created you? That's the whole point of the thread.
