Did you know that Salvation is only in Jesus, despite what other religions teach?

No, salvation is ONLY in the name Yahshua. \n\nActs4;12 state their is salvation in any other for there is NONE OTHER NAME under heaven givin among men whereby we must be saved.\n\nthe name Jesus is not even it the King James bible in 1611 so that means it wasn't Jesus. In fact there is no J, or J sound in Hebrew. Or any language until the 1500's. but notice is DOSE NOT say that any name referring to him, or any translation of his name. He say there is no other name FROM Heaven, Yahshua came from Heaven men made Jesus. Yahshua was givin to men, men made Jesus. But God say there is only one name under Heaven, If Yahshua was that name then what is the name of Jesus?

Yes, we do know Jesus is mentioned in the Quran. And we also know that the muslim religion believes Jesus was only a prophet and not the true son of God.

No. No amen. See http://WhatJewsBelieve.org\n\nThe basic beliefs of Christianity about Jesus are against what the Bible says, and so you will not hear an Amen from me.\n\nThe Christian understanding is that the Messiah, Jesus, died for the sins of the people. The messiah is supposed to be a human sacrifice that is the blood sacrifice necessary for the forgiveness of sin.\n\nBut we are taught in our Torah that no one can die for the sins of another. In Deuteronomy 24:16 it specifically says this:\n\nDeuteronomy 24:16 The fathers shall not \nbe put to death for the children, neither \nshall the children be put to death for\nthe fathers: \nevery man shall be put to death for his \nown sin (eesh b’chet-o yumatu).\n\nIn Exodus 32:30-35, Moses tries to offer himself to atone for the sins of the people. To be written out of Gd's book, means to be written out of the Book of Life, which means Moses was asking to die for the sins of the People. Gd's response is No, it does not work that way, each man dies for his own sin:\n\nExodus 32:30-35 And it came to pass on the \nmorrow, that Moses said unto the people, \nYe have sinned a great sin: and now I will \ngo up unto the Etrnl; perhaps I shall make \nan atonement for your sin. And Moses \nreturned unto the Etrnl, and said, Oh, \nthis people have sinned a great sin, and \nhave made them gods of gold. Yet now, if \nthou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, \nblot me, I pray thee, out of thy book \nwhich thou hast written. And the Etrnl \nsaid unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned \nagainst me, him will I blot out of my \nbook. \n\nThe whole of chapter 18 of the book of Ezekiel is about this idea, that no one can die for someone else's sin. Further, this chapter of Ezekiel teaches us that all we have to do for Gd's forgiveness is to stop doing the Bad and start doing the Good, and Gd will forgive us:::\n\nEzekiel 18:1-4; 20-24; 26-27 .....Behold, all \nsouls are mine; as the soul of the father, so \nalso the soul of the son is mine: the soul \nthat sinneth, it shall die. Eze 18:20 The soul \nthat sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not \nbear the iniquity of the father, neither shall \nthe father bear the iniquity of the son: the \nrighteousness of the righteous shall be upon \nhim, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be \nupon him. But if the wicked will turn from all \nhis sins that he hath committed, and keep all \nmy statutes, and do that which is lawful and \nright, he shall surely live, he shall not die. \nAll his transgressions that he hath committed, \nthey shall not be mentioned unto him: in his \nrighteousness that he hath done he shall live. \nHave I any pleasure at all that the wicked \nshould die? saith the Etrnl Gd: and not that \nhe should return from his ways, and live?.... \nEze 18:26 When a righteous man turneth away \nfrom his righteousness, and committeth \niniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity \nthat he hath done shall he die. Again, when \nthe wicked man turneth away from his \nwickedness that he hath committed, and doeth \nthat which is lawful and right, he shall save \nhis soul alive. \n\nSo, the Bible is clear, no one can die for the sins of another, and this means that Jesus cannot die for anyone else's sins.\n\nChristians also believe that one needs a blood sacrifice for the forgiveness of sin, that one who does not have such a blood sacrifice will die in their sins, and go to hell, except for the sacrifice of Jesus.\n\nThis, too, is UnBiblical. The Bible describes blood sacrifices for the forgiveness of sin in the Book of Leviticus. But it is in Leviticus itself, in the middle of the discussion of the sin sacrifices, that we are taught that we do not need a blood sacrifice to be forgiven for our sins. Offering a blood sacrifice was an expensive thing to do for the family offering the animal. Was forgiveness then, to be only for the rich? No, because if one could not afford a blood sacrifice then one who sins could bring flour, which

Absolutely not. God saves individuals, not organizations.\n\nI think the Bible is pretty clear. Good texts to illustrate your points.\n\nThere IS one faith. That one faith is not necessarily one church. That faith that leads to salvation is faith in Jesus Christ as the redeemer. Can't get to heaven without Jesus.\n\nPEOPLE will always go their own way. That's why there are so many different beliefs and denominations. Why wouldn't there be? Most folks can barely agree on what to put in a salad.

You are missing the big picture that separates Christianity from other religions.\n\nChristianity teaches man is saved by faith alone and good works is a response to that gift of salvation.\n\nOther religions teaches that man is saved by good works and faith. Salvation is earned not given

Yes there is only one way, Jesus.\nJohn 3:16"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son. 19This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. 21But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God."\nJohn 5:24"I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life. 25I tell you the truth, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live. 26For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son to have life in himself. 27And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man. \n 28"Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice 29and come out—those who have done good will rise to live, and those who have done evil will rise to be condemned. 30By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me.\nJohn14:6Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him."

Yes I only follow what my parents taught me.  They said all the other religions are evil.  My friends are all the same too.  Praise Jesus!

No. It differs on the fact that Christianity has a faith different from the others.

Once a person is saved, is he always saved?\n\nAccording  to most religions once you accept Jesus, you are always saved from then on.  BUT THAT IS NOT WHAT THE SCRIPTURES SAY:\n\nJude 5, RS: “I desire to remind you, though you were once for all fully informed, that he who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.” \n\nMatt. 24:13, RS: “He who endures to the end will be saved.” (So a person’s final salvation is not determined at the moment that he begins to put faith in Jesus.)\n\nPhil. 2:12, RS: “As you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.” (This was addressed to “the saints,” or holy ones, at Philippi, as stated in Philippians 1:1. Paul urged them not to be overly confident but to realize that their final salvation was not yet assured.)\n\nHeb. 10:26, 27, RS: “If we sin deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful prospect of judgment, and a fury of fire which will consume the adversaries.” (Thus the Bible does not go along with the idea that no matter what sins a person may commit after he is “saved” he will not lose his salvation. It encourages faithfulness. See also Hebrews 6:4-6, where it is shown that even a person anointed with holy spirit can lose his hope of salvation.)\n\nIs anything more than faith needed in order to gain salvation?\n\nEph. 2:8, 9, RS: “By grace [“undeserved kindness,” NW] you have been saved through faith; and this is not your own doing, it is the gift of God—not because of works, lest any man should boast.” (The entire provision for salvation is an expression of God’s undeserved kindness. There is no way that a descendant of Adam can gain salvation on his own, no matter how noble his works are. Salvation is a gift from God given to those who put faith in the sin-atoning value of the sacrifice of his Son.)\n\nHeb. 5:9, RS: “He [Jesus] became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him.”  (Does this conflict with the statement that Christians are “saved through faith”? Not at all. Obedience simply demonstrates that their faith is genuine.)\n\nJas. 2:14, 26, RS: “What does it profit, my brethren, if a man says he has faith but has not works? Can his faith save him? For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so faith apart from works is dead.” (A person does not earn salvation by his works. But anyone who has genuine faith will have works to go with it—works of obedience to the commands of God and Christ, works that demonstrate his faith and love. Without such works, his faith is dead.)\n\nActs 16:30, 31, RS: “‘Men, what must I do to be saved?’ And they [Paul and Silas] said, ‘Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.’” (If that man and his household truly believed, would they not act in harmony with their belief? Certainly.)\n\nAre there scriptures that definitely show that some will never be saved?\n\n2 Thess. 1:9, RS: “They shall suffer the punishment of eternal destruction and exclusion from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might.” \nMatt. 7:13, 14, RS: “Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is easy, that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard, that leads to life, and those who find it are few.”

Those who never really knew God \nSo far we've seen that salvation is offered to some people even before Jesus' return. We've also seen that after Jesus returns He will offer salvation to mankind in general.\nBut what about all those who died and were never called to salvation? This group represents the majority of all people who have ever lived. What is their eternal fate?\nJohn said those not resurrected at the time of Jesus' return ("the rest of the dead") will live again at the end of the Millennium: "But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished" (Revelation 20:5).\nA few verses later comes a further description of the scene of this resurrection: "Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades [the grave] delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works" (Revelation 20:11-13).\nJesus spoke of a future time of judgment when all will understand His teachings. He described a time during which people from all generations will live and be judged at the same time: "Then He began to upbraid the cities in which most of His mighty works had been done, because they did not repent: 'Woe to you Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. But I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than for you. And you, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Hades; for if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. But I say to you that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment than for you'" (Matthew 11:20-24).\nIn similar examples, Jesus refers to the long-dead people of Nineveh, to the queen of the south of Solomon's time and even to ancient Sodom and Gomorrah, the epitome of wickedness (Matthew 10:14-15; 12:41-42). He doesn't tolerate perversion and sinfulness, but He has not finished working in their lives. The people from those generations lived and died without having the opportunity to learn of God and His plan to offer the gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ.\nJesus described a time during which people from all past ages will live at the same time. Together they will come to understand the truth about who Christ was and the purpose of life. Those from different generations will find it remarkable that the people of Jesus' time rejected Him

Actually...Jesus is God's son...as it says so much in the Bible...people, however, were trained to believe in the Trinity...which states that the father, son, and hold spirit are one....That, however, is a teaching that Catholics came up with and is found no where in the Bible.

Salvation through Christ
903194
The trinity is in the Bible. Jesus said that he was ascending to his Father and would send the Holy Spirit in his place.\n\nDoes it matter? Well, yeah. When you accept salvation, you come to better know God the Father through Christ's mercy, and part of how you come to know God better is by heeding the guidance of the Holy Spirit, which is sent to you once you accept Christ.\n\nAs for whether or not you can still be saved if you don't believe this, it's a moot point. If you accept salvation, you will be sent the Holy Spirit, and you will--if you heed that guidance--come to know God the Father better. That is, whether you believe this beforehand or not, it is what will happen in your life if you are earnestly seeking the will of God.

I think that verse reveals a lot of modern evanglicalism to be out of step with Scripture. We have a very friendly, easy gospel preached in America where salvation is all up to us. John 6 teaches its not up to us at all in fact we contribute nothing to our own salvation including the will to believe. We are so totally depraved in our sin that we cannot even worship God unless he makes us worshippers. Very humbling.
492849
Right! Each religion says there is only one God, they just disagree on what this God's name is and how it/He should be worshipped. One thing all religions say though is that their god is LOVE and His message is love... nonetheless their most devout followers (are they one's with the most love?) go forth and kill each other in His name. Go figure huh! Incidentally Jesus was a prophet not a God. Read the Bible- he and his apostles are quite emphatic in making the point that Jesus was NOT God. Some christians have other ideas though. It's a power issue.\n\nIt would also be funny to see what happened if Jesus came back because he would NOT be a christian. Christianity was created in the decades/centuries after Christ based upon other folks interpretations of his rumoured teachings. So Christ was not preaching Christianity- it didn't exist at the time and christianity today does not actually conform to his teachings. He'd most likely be a Buddhist if anything.

No one can attain salvation. Salvation is a gift given freely to man by God through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Placing your trust in an idol or in a prayer or in good deeds places your faith in the wrong area. God is so omnipotent, we cannot even fathom what he would look like, so by creating an idol of him, we are limiting who God is. If you read the entire Bible, nowhere will you find a physical description of what God looks like. There isn't even a physical description of Jesus.\n\nThere is only one way to salvation - 1) Admit God is perfect, 2) Admit you are not, 3) Accept that Christ is perfect and sacrificed his life for yours, and 4) Receive your gift of salvation through faith that Christ has paid for your mistakes.
