Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven

[a123]

"I am the way, the truth and the life; No man cometh unto the Father but by me" - Jesus Christ (John 14:6)

Jesus Christ is the son of the living God. "Thou art Christ, the son of the living God" (Matthew 16:16)

He died on the cross sacrificing his blood to pay for our sins, he was buried and he is risen.

"He is not here: For he is risen, as he said. Come see the place where the Lord lay" (Matthew 28:6)

Repent, come to God by faith, realise you are a sinner, we are all sinners.

"For all have sinned, and come short of the Glory of God" (Romans 3:23)

Believe upon the Lord Jesus Christ, believe that he died on the cross for our sins, believe and ask the Lord for forgiveness and you shall be saved.

"For the wages of sin is death; But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 6:23)

Turn your back on sin and live Holy in the sight of the Lord.

"Because it is written, be ye Holy; for I am Holy" (1 Peter 1:16)

Pray

Dear Jesus

I admit that I am a sinner deserving of Hell, I am guilty for breaking your holy commandments. I believe that you died on the cross to pay for my sins, were buried and bodily ressurected three days later. Please forgive me of my sins, write me in the book of life, Lord come and take over the throne of my life, I believe upon you as my personal savior. In Jesus Christ name.

Amen

There are not Gods, only religion and religion is bollocks.

A vivid imagination is the only way to heaven.

lol foxy. I'll switch the doner for a humus and avocado ciabatta being veggie and all.

I love wandering around graveyards and also certain churches do send a tingle down my spine. But I'm not really religious in the traditional organised sense. I'd be in confession box for days if I were a catholic.

Oopps sorry Blah Blah.. That's fair enough... :)

Oddly enough, I was veggie for around 3 years.. Religiously.

First meat I ate was a D?ner Kebab.

Nah, best way to heaven is Bakerloo Line to Charing Cross, then walk down Villiers Street.

I think that makes you more 'spiritual' than religious Lou...pour yourself another one, hic!

Innit. Respect people's right to believe in what they want ie. religion, but the basis of religion is total pants.

Watched this last night, very good.

Your group is superior to all others? Because that what it means to say that 'Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven'. If those signing up to your narrow doctrine will be rewarded with eternity in paradise, what are you suggesting happens to everyone else - hell?

Basically what you're saying is 'I am superior, I will be rewarded for my righteousness and anyone who disagrees is damned'. Think about that, is it really what you believe?

[intexasatthe moment]

" Respect people's right to believe in what they want ie. religion "

trouble is I don't .

Religion very dangerous in my view ,often preys on the weak and disadvantaged .

[Louisa]

Goodness me I had a heavy one yesterday. Sorry for any stupid posts on here. I agree with the whole premise let people believe what they want freedom of choice to believe what you want etc. I do find organised religion too reliant on ancient 'facts' which do not adapt to scientific findings and changes in certain realities. I think there is a lot we do not know and will never know about why we are here on earth, but I don't personally believe religion can answer those questions.

My mums funeral was in a CoE church - but rather than let the Vicar take the service

she requested a lay person friend of hers - and they let that happen. So effectively

we used the church but brought her own people in.

[Blah Blah]

That can be the case. But most people of faith are harmless. Food banks are provided by a faith based charities for example. As for those that take their beliefs to a level of fascism, then we are dealing with a psychology that would believe in just about anything that empowers their sense of importance. Most faith is culturally nurtured through childhood as we all know and that for me is where the line between a gentle moral philosophy (ie to be giving, do good etc) and the heavy indoctrination of false absolutes (creationism over evolution for example) is a fine one and should be monitored better than it is.

[Louisa]

Good choice IMO JohnL. It's nice to have that spiritual element as a nod to what may or may not be beyond this life waiting for us, but equally that personal touch of letting a loved one or friend take the service is such a great tribute to the individual and a memory for everyone who's survived that person.

This thread has been surprisingly civilised.

So far.

I thought you hated all that type of stuff? Even I (as a devout atheist) find Dawkins a little too smug at times.

[Otta]

I actually find him quite kind. He doesn't mock people and tell themn they're stupid if they are believers, that is what makes me angry.

I love the videos on youtube of him reading out hate mail that he's received. Very funny.

[Blah Blah]

That he gets hate mail tells you everything about the mental state of some religious people.
