Like if you are a baby born in a mussulman family is obvious you will grow to be a mussulman, but it wasn't the baby's fault if he was born there, i wonder did Jesus ever mentioned this things ? Will you not enter heaven if you are not christian ?

Well, first, Jesus was Jewish...he was NOT Christian.\nSecondly, there is little information available about the historical Jesus - most of what we know is from the writings of others about what Jesus said and taught (again, all within the context of Jewish learning).\n\nregarding "mussulman", I assume you mean Muslim?\nLeast we forget, Abraham and Sarah had two children - Issac and Ishmael (actually, Ishmael was born to Hagar, the handmaid of Sarah).\nBecause of the problems between the two women, Abraham sent Hagar and Ishmael away, but God blessed them as well as the people of Israel.\nIshmael became the family linage to the Islamic faith.\nNow, back to Jesus and whether you will enter heaven if you are/are not Christian: remember, Jesus was Jewish and Jewish faith teachs that all will be blessed in the next world as long as we do acts of loving kindness in the here and now, regardless of what our faith is.\nNow, in my book, THAT is the real grace of God.\nAnd now, you know the rest of the story.

If a mother steps out into oncoming traffic and is killed while saving her child, who lives, is the child "happy" the she had to do it?  Is he thankful for her sacrifice?  Does he realize how much she loved him to do such an act of heroism?  Does he think of her as the dearest person in the world to him for loving him so much?\n\nGod requires a sacrifice to cleanse ones heart from sin or he will die.  Jesus stepped out into the oncoming traffic for all of mankind.  Anyone who believes on him has a heart of adoration and gratitude for this act of love, knowing that if he had not done it, the world would be lost and die.\n\n"But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name." John 20:31

a child is created in his/her parents image, a gene from each  shapes the child, they decide the action that starts the creation, but yet a child  for the most part, is not equal to the parent,,,,\n\nand please dont classify all believers or even all believers in Jesus, into one group lol  i do both, yet are not christian

How can we all be positive? I thought u wanted thoughtful replies, that would make u ponder the answers u recieved. Isn't that the point of this site? Oh well. Here's my reply. Yes, we are all God's creation, and sex by our parents is how God wanted us to enter the world. We are not a creation of sexual fulfillment, if we were, everytime they had unprotected sex, they'd get pregnant. Besides, not everyone who gets pregnant got sexually fulfilled during the act of conception. Does life have meaning? Yes,I think so, otherwise, we wouldn't be here. I believe everyone has a purpose decreed by God, and once u've satisfied the Lord's purpose on Earth, it's ur time to go on to Heaven.

I consider myself Christian, born and raised. My family has never been strict about it though. I don't believe that non-believers will go to hell. I do however believe that if you KILL, rape, or lead a life without morals, that you will suffer in your own hell that you caused others.

the person proable does not have a relationship with Christ. being a Christian is not based on what you have on the outside but a faith on the inside. we are suppose to shine Jesus to others. am sorry about the hard life that you have lived so far. it is very hard to live without parents to support you. like to tell you Jesus said come you  that are heavy laden and I will give  you rest all of you who work so hard beneath a heavey yoke.wear my yoke for it fits perfectly and let me teach you.for I am gentle and humble, and you shall find rest for your souls; for I give you only light burdens. Matthew 11;27.    then Jesus said I come to give life and life more abundly. would you not enjoy that type of life? the yoke you are caring is much to much for you. you are caring a full adults plate. am sorry for your situation.

Jesus is the one and only person who did and will ever die for our sins.  If a Christian chooses to live in sin after becoming born again (a true Christian), then they are not living the way they should.  Just because you become a Christian does not mean you will never sin again.  It means you are to turn your back on sin, do your best not to sin, and live a life that is acceptable to God.  When you do that, you will still have shortcomings...but you know that you don't have to worry about it.  You just ask for forgiveness, turn your back on that sin, and thank God for His grace.

A person is not borned. He or she is born. Jesus was born in a manger.  Read the story of his birth in the book of Luke.  YOU do a little work, my friend, and find the right chapter and verses.

I've always been of the opinion that Jesus's story and sacrifice are far more poignant if he doesn't rise from the dead to become Lord of the Earth.  In the same way, following Jesus's commandments without the expectation of a reward in heaven, but rather because they are good and worthy in their own right, seems much more truly Christian.

This may also apply to people born before the birth of Christ, who didn't really have the opportunity to be Christian.  The answer, accoring to some pastors, is that ultimately God sorts it out in the end, makes a list and checks it twice, finds out whos' naughty or nice, etc.

Since Adam sinned in the Garden of Eden, we are all born with a sin nature. That is what you refer to as your inner brat(by the way, I like that!). The only way to control your inner brat is to allow Jesus to change you from the inside out. In order to do that, you have to be "born again" by acknowleging that you are a sinner and can do nothing to save yourself and asking Jesus to cleanse you with His blood. When you do that, His Spirit is born in you and, if you allow Him, He will start the process of making you like Him. This is a long process that isn't fully finished until we're with Him in Heaven.

Very good question ..... and please tell me anyone knows ..the thing my brother mentioned is present in BIBLE or not ...because bible has different opinion to get the eternal life...\n\n"And behold, one came and said unto him, ‘Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?’\nAnd he said unto him, ‘Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.’ "\n[The Bible, Mathew 19:16-17]\n\nso people who think ...that by following the commandments they wont get heaven ....are they not following Jesus ????? are they having their own opinion conflicting with jesus ...do they know more than jesus ????\n************************************************\nA friend mentioned that God and Jesus are one ... it means if Jesus has died on cross (according to christians) then God is also no more ..(nauzubillah) ...because according to christians both are one ...and what about the holy spirit ????

There were also many, many other children born on the same day as your child.  Why should her spirit have necessarily come into yours, and not one of those many others?  I think that's part of where you uncle is wrong.  \n\nSecondly, people's spirits do not linger around this earth.  So in that sense, your uncle is completely wrong.  Once a person dies, their spirit (or soul) goes either to heaven or hell.  This depends on whether they had a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and accepted Him as their Savior and Redeemer.  If they did, then their soul has gone on to heaven.  If not, then they're in hell.  I don't believe that a suicide automatically goes to hell.  It is all still dependent on the relationship with Jesus.  \n\nAs for your son, don't worry about what your uncle said.  It is superstition to believe that a dead person's spirit would linger around and inhabit the body of a new child.  What would the purpose of that be???  Just put your trust in Jesus Christ, and He'll reveal to you the truth.

I'll try to keep it short.\nJesus was born in Bethlehem.  Joseph and Mary went to register their names under the order of the Romans, as it was predicted in the Bible that Jesus will be born in Bethlehem.  Shortly after his birth, they had to run to Egypt to protect Jesus's life, for it was ordered that every first born boy to be killed, that included Jesus.  A few years later, they went back, and they lived in the city Nazareth, hence the name Jesus of Nazareth. \nNo contradictions.  They moved to Egypt not to Nazareth to protect his life.  If they didn't do that, you and I would have had nothing to be chatting about, at least in the religion section.  Think about it.  \n\nDon't worry about it, our religion stood the worst.  Christians were feed to the lions for believing in Christ,  at a certain time it was forbidden to be even a Christian, and now, many wants to show the lies that is supposedly in the Bible.  Go ahead, do your best, or your worse!  maybe we both can end up learning from each others.  You don't have to be a Christian, and I don't have to stop being one, but we at the very least at will end up respecting each others.\n\nMap 37.

As a born again believer I stress the need to be "born again" for two reasons. The first one is that Jesus said in John 3 that unless a person is born again they cannot see the Kingdom of Heaven.\n\nThe second reason is because many people are deceived and have a false assurance of salvation. They think that because they said a prayer one time or because they belong to a church and have gone through religious ceremonies and have given an intellectual consent to the gospel message that they are on their way to Heaven.\n\nNone of those things save a person. Being "born again" by the spiritual regeneration that occurs when the Holy Spirit takes up residence in a person's heart, as evidenced by a changed life over time, is the proof that a person has been adopted into God's family and is on their way to Heaven.\n\nRomans 8:3  For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh,   4   in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.   5   For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.   6   To set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.   7   For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot.   8   Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.  \n\n 9   You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.   10   But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness.   11   If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.   \n\n12   So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.   13   For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.   14   For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.   15   For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, "Abba! Father!"   16   The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,   17   and if children, then heirs--heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.

Hello,\n\nEvery thing takes time. you have to accept Jesus Christ as your Saviour and that he came down from above to pay for our sins.\n\nBeing born again is similar to accepting and repenting but, its like if you steal you can't go around staeling again. When you have the spiriti within yo , bad things would not even come to your mind\n\nTake care and God bless
