In fact, December 25 was not even the birthday of Jesus as was explained in a link on another thread. So you must try to put these fairy tale story for kids aside and deal with the real issue of whether Jesus the Christ existed or not. You can research through Google, for there is a lot of info on Jesus. Of course, like any famous person, rumors and false information about him do arise.

Originally posted by stellspalfieAll this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
no, stop playing the idiot jester for a second. just read what i wrote and dont add your own variables like jesus.

Originally posted by KeplerI had hoped you would have a little more confidence in Christ's church than to assign my name to it. All I will say to hraven being empty is prepare yourself for the Lake of Fire.
Do all christians go to heaven or is there just one particular christian sect that gets to go? If it's the church of RJ Hinds heaven is going to be rather empty.
Originally posted by RJHindsThere are a multitude of churches. There are five in the village I live in alone, all with supposedly different versions of christianity. Do they all go to heaven or is it just one particular sect?

Originally posted by KeplerWe are not saved by a Christian group or by being a member of a denomination of a Christian church. We are saved by Christ because of our belief and faith in Him. As I pointed out in another thread, Jesus said that only those that do the will of God will inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. So it is up to each of us to find out what the will of God is so that we can do it. I recommend reading and studying the Holy Bible as a guide book and not as a book of fairy tales.
