s/o: So, if you're Saved...

what do you think of people of other religions?  How do you reconcile the fact that people who interact with on a daily basis and who seem like perfectly nice people are actually, by your belief, going to be burning in eternal hell fire?  

I'm just curious, because I'm Jewish and therefore, by that philosophy, bound for an eternity in the Inferno.

    Well from my extremely limited knowledge, which may be wrong but who knows, Jews are God's people so they are automatically saved. So SBDC, you're good to go and the rest of you? Well too bad! Devil LOL

    LOL, but how can that be?  I distinctly do NOT believe that Jesus was the Messiah (a great man, the most important prophet, maybe, but not divine).  So how can I go to Heaven if that being Saved is about believing that Jesus died on the cross for my sins (which is how it was defined by those in-the-know in the last post).

    Personally, I'm happy with the good company I'll have in hell, but really, don't think I believe in any of that anyway.  

  • I dont have any problems with various religious views but when someone gets up in my face saying I'm an evil person because of whatever .... I seriously will have a problem....I tend to avoid people like that.

    and yes I'm going to hell because I havent been to church in YEARS!  However some family members think I have a direct route to heaven because I donated a kidney....hmmm I dont know about that.

  • Answering for my born-again Mother - My daughter (AKA DaiLyght) is going to Hell.

    Yes, she has more than once point blank told me this.

  • I take the stance that while Christianity is my choice of salvation, many other religions offer different views & stances on God, salvation, and heaven. And some don't and that's okay too. 

    I have worked really hard to move away from the if you don't believe in Jesus you're not going to heaven model because I'd rather live with world as a tolerant, respectful, non judgemental person.

    From what I was told? heard? read? was that when Jesus comes back, those who didn't believe he was the Messiah will be finally convinced! So I guess Jesus is expecting a collective, "Oops, my bad!" when he comes back? LOL

  • Even though I was raised Catholic and believe all that New Testament jazz, I do not believe others will burn because they are a different religion.

  • I can't wait to hang with you biitches in hell.  I'm buying the first round!!!

  • There are some "saved" Jewish people. I don't know how to answer this, like I said I do believe what the bible says, but I don't sit around looking at different people, saying in my head , "you're going to hell, and you over there, you're going to hell'. I think it says somewhere in the bible that you get another chance to accept God after you die so I will just reconcile it that way...I will try help my kids and close family members to learn about God, but I can't worry about everyone so for the rest of you-sorry biotches-see you later! kidding, of course.

  • I don't think too much of other religions. There are so many different people in the world, so there are so many different religions/beliefs. To each their own. I make no judgement. I don't go around thinking that person is going to hell...it's not my call. According to the Holy Bible, when Jesus returns there will be a time when people who have not accepted can...and  I'm sure it will not be an "Oh my bad" kind of situation. At that time whatever happens to me and anyone else it's between them and God.

    It may be like a riddle.  They may say we're going to hell.  But maybe we are all going to end up in the same place which WOULD be to me.  Surrounded by wild eyed evangelists day in day out.

  • I don't know but I do know Catholics are pretty much equivalent to Jews in the whole who is going to hell scenario that evangelicals preach.  As far as I know and understand, Catholics do not believe in being "saved" or "born again," and a lot of evangelical faiths are not very accepting of Catholics IME.

    So I'll be there, sipping on some booze, while dancing and playing bingo.

    I never even heard of the whole saved thing until I moved to america (from holy catholic ireland).  Scares the bejesus out of me.

  • Catholics are not in the same boat as jewish people...most Catholic people do not become "saved" but they do believe and were taught that Jesus lived and died on the cross for their sins and that is all that saved means. I believe Jewish people do believe Jesus existed but do not believe that he was the "messiah" or son of God..

    Catholics don't believe this. The current official answer to that doctrine is that they go to limbo, which is laypeople speak for the Church not really being sure. According to the church, we are all fallen, some less than others, some more than others. Some Christian sects believe that when Jesus said you could only reach heaven through him, he meant belief in him. We catholics see jc as more of a lifestyle, not just a figurehead. So you can't reach heaven simply by knowing about and believing in him, but you must be like him-the least fallen person in the history of man. The beatitudes, as preached on the sermon on the mount, is a sort of ladder back to that state; they hold the virtues one must obtain to get back to a full state of grace. The way up that ladder? Throught emulating the kindness and selflessness of Christ. If you die and have not reached that state, you go to purgatory, where you try to obtain these virtues through... Who knows. But that is the theory. The thing is, except for saints, we all die fallen to some extent, including Christians. So theoretically, we all go to the same place to climb back to out pre-conception state of immaculate grace. So that goes or EVERYONE. So it's not a straight ticket just because you're baptized. Being baptized is just a rite of initiation to get you on the thoughts and self improvement processes to get you there but if you suck as a person, you go to the same place everyone else does. There are a lot of denominations who interpre the bible literally when it suits them and metaphorically when it's better to do so. Excuse lack of paragraphs. On iPhone.
