gotigrz's - 'Jesus is the only way to heaven' thread, split from "Is Ed... a Christian Again?" Options

[gotigrz]

"Nobody should care what religion he is."

if you're a Christian,... you want others to be, too. not for your sake, but for theirs.

"Do you think Ed cares what religion you are?"

if he has truly given his heart and soul to Jesus... then yes, i do.

"yet you turn around and try to push your religion on us"

see, that's the problem... to a non-believer... when anyone that is a Christian even brings up the fact that Jesus is their Lord and Saviour... they think they are trying to "push" their beliefs on someone. i'm not doing that. i'm telling you what i believe and why i believe it. and, for me to want the same for anyone else is my decision. if you think me being happy for ed, that he found Christ, is pushing my beliefs on you... then you're the one with the problem.

"I respect all religions, and believe religion is a great thing. Just not for me, at least not at this point in my life."

see, you don't get it... Christianity isn't "something to get you through the day"... becoming a Christian isn't going to make your life easier... it's actually going to make it harder. but, i know that It will keep my soul for eternity with the Lord.

He does know you, and He did lay down His life for you. He does love you. more than i ever could and more than i could ever explain.

he only died coz judas turned him in. ANd then he hooted and hollered on the cross, asking god "why?" If he was infact SUPPOSED to die, why are the jews held responsible....they fullfilled a prophecy...no?

so its not like he just decided to die for anyone. I feel bad for the guy it was a terrible way to go, and from all ive read about him he was an exceptional bloke and the world would be a much better place if people followed his message, but to believe that he is something other than human would require more proof than mistranslated thousand year old books.
