I suggest creating your own set of crazy (preferably non-violent) beliefs, such as, it is sinful to wear blue socks or shoes in the winter. Then see what happens when you die. If at all possible get back to me afterwards because i have a pair of blue chucks i want to wear to a new years party.

He backed it up by a life of honor & character and by supernatural deeds publicly witnessed. Second, none of the others claimed they would die and rise in 3 days. Jesus did that, and 500 people saw him alive after He was crucified. Third, no other religious leader was pre-announced except for Jesus. There are over 300 pre-announced predictions of Jesus, published hundreds of years before He arrived. Fourth, none of the others deliberately came to die, but Jesus did as a sacrifice for our sins. Fifth, the other leaders came looking for the way, but Jesus came as the way.

You should become a Christian. If someone tells you it’s a matter of faith and not of proof, their belief is a matter of foolishness. The God of the Bible is no fool and has left lots of evidence for us. It is up to you to weigh up this evidence with a critical and open mind. Here are a few bits of evidence: 1. The Bible claims that everyone spoke just one language originally. Some linguists support this although some are still trying to work out if it was one language or several languages. 2. The Bible refers to two people starting the human race. Ask evolutionists and other experts what they think. 3. The Bible describes the order of creation. Evolutionists almost entirely agree with this order. 4. The Bible prophesied the rise and fall of the Greek, Persian, Medo-Persian and Roman empires long before it happened. 5. The Bible foretold even before Jesus’ birth the destruction of Israel and the bringing back to Israel of the Jewish people (which started to happen in 1948, thousands of years later). 6. Languages have a tendency to become simpler. Take English as an example and consider creoles. So why were they originally so complicated if they were not given to us by a higher being? 7. Does the Bible demonstrate a thorough understanding of human nature. Absolutely, like no other religious text. 8. Does the Bible have an historical context with lots of archaelogical evidence to support its descriptions of various battles and events. Definitely. No other religious text has this. 9. The Bible foretold the method of crucifixion in Israel as a method of execution hundreds of years before the Romans came onto the scene. 10. The Bible foretold the preaching of the gospel all over the world. What is happening? 11. Jesus foretold that the Bible would never go away. Has it? Sorry, I have run out of space. There is a 2 500 character restriction on messages. Everywhere in the Bible is far too much wisdom and far too much ‘coincidence’ for it to be just another book. A thinking person would at least admit that it comes from some higher being, even if they thought that being to be an alien.

Name : Eugene, City : Johannesburg, State : NA, Country : South Africa,I’ll weigh in on the Jewish perspective on this question – if you were born Jewish, you have to BE Jewish (ie fulfill the commandments). If you weren’t born Jewish, then you don’t need to have a religion to get into heaven. All that is ‘required’ are what are called the Seven Noachide Laws which include the belief in God as the all-powerful Creator and Administrator, and the basics of civil law (don’t kill, steal, have immoral sexual practices etc.) In short, the ‘just be a good person’ idea actually is true. And as for JC being a historical figure, that is still not entirely proven. For someone born Jewish, he/she must live up to all of the

Name : A-Clark26502, City : SLC, State : UT, Country : United States,On this one, no one can tell you for certain which faith is the right path for you. Religion is a personal decision. Some find that they believe the faith that they have participated in from birth. Others choose another faith. All will lead you to the same basic concepts in the end. Just follow your heart. Sometimes, you just need to believe yourself.
