Christianity is not a religion, in fact, the name was coined by the Pagans of Antioq, which means follower of Christ.

Originally it was used in reference to those who acted as Jesus Christ did. However, over time it has become a religion of people who claim to believe in Jesus Christ, not persons who are actually seen to be like Jesus Christ.

You are not serious in life. Commandments by who the bible ? People are easily decieved seriously. Should I tell you whar my own commandments said ?

He is right.... Jesus Christ is God's Law and King in the Kingdom of God. He gave His followers about 100 commandments to live by, and that is how you know them that are of Him from those who aren't. Those who are of Him obey those almost 100 commandments every moment of every day of their lives.

What will happen to those in paradise who refused to accept the gospel when Jesus preached to them

Jesus Christ said, "Except a man is born-again, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God" ....John 3 vs 5 - 8. Those in paradise are dead.... is the dead able to become born-again even while he remains dead afterward?

Kobojunkie:
E be like say Oyinbo talk true when dem talk say if you want to hide anything from a black man, right it in a book.

According to Jesus Christ, only those who are born-again can have access to Heaven and to Hell.

so did mary give her life to christ? or did joseph do thesame

Offpoint1:
1. Those delusional people won't accept this truth, illusion is very soothing to them. If they were born into a Muslim home, Jesus wouldn't have been their Lord and savour. We are the product of the family we were born into and the environment we grow up.

2. We are all going to hell according to religion because to a Muslim, a Christian won't make heaven and to a Christian a Muslim won't make heaven.So basically heaven is empty because no one is going there according to religion

1. I wasn't born into a Christian home, myself. And many who are atheists here, even here on nairaland today were born into Christian or Muslim homes. So, what does that make of your spurious claims in bold?

2. Calm yourself down and open the book to apply your brain cells. If each religion has its own heaven and its own hell, wouldn't that then follow that the practitioners of said religion would a least fill up its own quota?

According to Jesus Christ, except a man is born-again, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God - John 3 vs 5 - 8 - where Heaven and Hell both exist in - Matthew 25 vs 31 - 46 - meaning that it is only those who are born-again can gain access to Heaven or to Hell in the Kingdom of God after He returns and judges His flock. This Truth of Jesus Christ has been available for over 2000 years. Why you have yet to realize it before now is your fault, not your parents or their parents but yours since you have eyes to read for your own self, and a brain to boot.

Offpoint1:

who is a "Believer" and who's a "Christian"?

Obviously he meant a Christian is a badge-wearer whereas a believer would refer to one who submits and obeys the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ, just as instructed by Jesus Christ.

Kobojunkie:
Stop spreading lies!

According to Jesus Christ, except a man is born-again, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God. So, where do your "innocent humans with no wrong cause" fit in?

did you not say unless a man is born again? but i was making reference to little ones who has not known any sin yet and those who died for unjust cause without getting to hear the goodnews of Jesus Christ

Unclesamo:
1. Please, kindly correct the wrong notion and trend of "True Christian". you are either a Christian or not. nothing like True Christian, saved Christian, Holy Christian. you are either a Christian or not.

But what does it mean to be a Christian to you?
For example, Christianity as practiced today is a complete departure from that which was taught by Jesus Christ, making it nothing but a religion defined by the doctrines and traditions of men, rather than the actual teachings of Jesus Christ. So, claiming to be a Christian today does not necessarily mean one actually knows Jesus Christ. It typically means one adopts the doctrines and traditions of one of the many churches of men, doctrines and traditions which Jesus Christ Himself warned were lies meant to deceive men away from following God's Truth.

Panda7:

There are no exceptions made for the "little ones" in that. Just as Jesus Christ made clear, except a man is born-again, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God - John 3 vs 5 - 8 - either through the Broad gate that leads to destruction(Hell) or the Narrow gate that leads to True Life(Heaven).

"little ones" are unbelievers. For all unbelievers... from dust, you(mind, body, and soul) were made and to dust, you(mind, body, and soul) shall return ... remains God's judgment since the time of Adam and Eve - Genesis 3 vs 19

so did mary give her life to christ? or did joseph do thesame

Mary become a follower of Jesus Christ towards the end of His Life. She is recorded to have been among those who were in the upper room on the day of Pentecost.

Joseph was recorded as a righteous man of the Old Covenant Law of Moses, and God's promise to all the righteous men of Old is as recorded in Deuteronomy 30 vs 15 - 20 - eternal life in the Land of Canaan after the resurrection of the Jews.

OLOKOESHIN:
1. Brother don't go far looking for people quoting their religion holy books for you. God doesn't have religion. Religion of God is Love Islam go tell you say their religion is the way to heaven base on Quran and same beliefs in other religions with their holy book Bros just do your thing and embrace Love Forget all the preaches and the Likes Religion is just for humans to be conscious of God in our subconscious minds

1. The religion of which God is love?

ENGBOS:
Not everyone is going to heaven,heaven is not meant for everyone,we that got raptured are going to heaven but after the great tribulation we all coming to earth, and i assume everyone that are good in heart not necessarily we Christian
Revelation 14 1 to 5 only 144000 people are going to inhabit heaven as kings who will rule over 144000 provinces of earth
Revelation 7:4 God has given earth to mankind to inhabit forever
Isaiah 45:8
Psalm 115:16
Eccs 1:4 the earth remains forever

So, according to you, only 144,000 Israelites are going to be in Heaven, and will rule over 144000 provinces of the earth?

Meaning Jesus Christ's promise was never to the gentiles to begin with?

Decent09:
So Jesus is only the Way, The Light during His time of Prophetship, besides him, there are many Prophets.

Somebody lied to you. Jesus Christ as The Way means Jesus Christ is God's Law. No other prophet or man could lay claim to that title before or after Jesus Christ.

Moses was a Law giver but He was not the Law. Instead, YHWH is the Law that Moses gave to the people of Israel. Jesus Christ is the Law that was delivered by the person of Jesus Christ to the people.

you seems to be too harsh on religion or just maybe you are a convert, God or Jesus Christ do not send people to hell unless of course they were wicked souls who rejected the gospel and misleaded many to wrong ways lest there is liberty in serving God

Geovanni412:
The scholars, themselves, don't know the answer to this question. If they do,make them answer am-- make i even help you specify the question to see if them get answer. Here are my three questions derived from yours:
1.) Will the Jews, Muslims and Buddhists all go to hell?
2.) Will a seven yr old buddhist monk who lived an upright life in India and died due to ill health go to hell even when he had no opportunity to hear about Jesus Christ?
3.) Are all our ancestors who practiced traditional religion before the British came to our shores burning in hell now?

Are the scholars all stupid then since the answer to this question has been available for over 2000 to mankind?

According to Jesus Christ, except a man is born-again, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God - John 3 vs 1 - 8 - where both Heaven and Hell both coexist - Matthew 7 vs 13 - 14 & Luke 13 vs 22 - 27 - and Jesus Christ is King and Law over Heaven and Hell - Matthew 25 vs 31 - 46

1. No! For all unbelievers... from dust, you(mind, body, and soul) were made and to dust, you(mind, body, and soul) shall return ... remains God's judgment since the time of Adam and Eve - Genesis 3 vs 19

2. No! See #1 above

3. No! Again, see #1 above

gogglecomputer:
the answer is YESthe answer is YESthe answer is YES the answer is YESthe answer is YESthe answer is YES as long as the bible is concern

Heaven is for those who are born-again and live faithfully until the end in order to be saved - Matthew 24 vs 12 - 13 & Mark 13 vs 13. Those who will end up in Hell are also all born-again.

Trupz:
What about Muslims, Hindus, Judaists, Buddhists etc. Are they all going to burn in hell?

For all unbelievers... from dust, you(mind, body, and soul) were made and to dust, you(mind, body, and soul) shall return ... remains God's judgment since the time of Adam and Eve - Genesis 3 vs 19

Jones4190:
no, Abraham was not a Christian

Did God promise Heaven to Abraham?

KingEzo:
Yes. Jesus Christ is the only way to the Father. For those that are saying 99,% of christian will go to hell, to know that there's different between christian and church goer. The early Apostle were called christian'' little Christ" because they have the traits, character of Christ in them but it's quiet unfortunate that people have turned the name christian to something else in order to suit there desire.

Here's a fact revealed by Jesus Christ over 2000 years ago, all those who will end up in Hell are born-again Christians.

Ayojb:
ok can a Muslim be saved? Like believe in Jesus and still continue to be saved?

According to Jesus Christ, except a man is born-again, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God. So can a Muslim submit to and obey any of the teachings of Jesus Christ in order to be born- again?

kindly calm down.
Without digressing from the subject matter.

let me ask you
who is a Christian?
why were the disciples first called Christian?


"Christianity as practiced today is a complete departure from that which was taught by Jesus Christ,"

From the above quotes.... should the action of majority determine how you should refer to a Christian?? adding irrelevant sufix/perifix.

If you understood the above expressly, and was able to answer the questions deep within you, therefore, you should know that YOU ARE EITHER A CHRISTIAN OR NOT.

Kobojunkie:

1. you seems to be too harsh on religion or just maybe you are a convert,

2. God or Jesus Christ do not send people to hell unless of course they were wicked souls who rejected the gospel and misleaded many to wrong ways lest there is liberty in serving God

I didn't define the belief. These tenets have been in existence for over 2000 years. I am simply making them clear so you clearly understand what subscribing to Jesus Christ, or rejecting Him entirely, in fact, means.

2. I am afraid this submission of yours is wrong. Again, according to Jesus Christ, those who will end up in Hell after He returns and judges are the born-again "Christians" who refuse to submit to and obey His teachings and commandments. They are those who refuse to do as He commands of them - Matthew 25 vs 31 - 46. As we speak there is nobody in Heaven and in Hell since all those who die sleep in their graves waiting for Jesus Christ to eventually return and judge them all.

OLOKOESHIN:
How many gods is your own personal supreme being?

Every religion seems to define for themselves a supreme being so unless you think the supreme being is some serious celestial case of dissociative disorder clusterfk, kindly reveal what particular god you refer to instead.

1. The disciples were called Christians because they followed the teachings of Jesus Christ.

2. Words and terms take on new meanings over time. That is to be expected. In today's world, the word "Christian" is a label of sorts used to refer to those who proclaim the name of Jesus Christ. Of little meaning is whether or not these people in fact follow the teachings of Jesus Christ in any way or form. These Christians by name only are the majority in the world today, and so for those who instead follow the teachings of Jesus Christ or at least claim to, there is a need to show the separation that exists between the two groups..

ezechi242:

How did you come up with that from what I stated in my previous comment regarding Mary and Joseph?

Black man, open the book to read for your own self.

According to Jesus Christ, all those who will end up in Hell are also born-again meaning they all believe in Jesus Christ though they refuse to do as Jesus Christ commanded of them.

Aurielfinizu:
That means I will mk heaven..
What of those who work for him like clean church, join choir and help the needy?

Everyone who will end up in Hell is also a born-again Christian. So, do not deceive yourself by thinking that it is only by claiming to be a Christian that you are saved. As Jesus Christ made abundantly clear to all His followers, it is only those who stand faithful - in continuous submission to and obedience to His teachings and commandments - until the end that will be saved.

As for your church cleaners and choir, Jesus Christ no send anyone to dey clean business for another man nor sing for them to begin with.

Lepon02:
Christians wey think say heaven nah for only them dey very funny.

Ema tan ara yin ooo!

So you think Jesus Christ lied that only those who are born-again can enter into the Kingdom of God - John 3 vs 1 - 8?

onyeka3310:
One thing our creator didn't create is religion... anybody saying heaven is for Christian alone is just a fool

So, Jesus Christ, the one who said except a man is born-again, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God - John 3 vs 1 - 8 - is a fool?
