You've chosen the right religion? Given the evidence that the xtian bible has been co-opted, re-written and based on earlier religious texts and promulgated by men seeking to hegemonize power throughout its' infancy...what happens if, on that day, you find out that you've been worshipping the wrong god and must reject "Jesus" in order to fulfill your entry into Heaven? Would you do it?

Many people are fine with any religion, except of course for Christianity which they seem to hate. But that makes sense because man by nature hates the Truth.

Mind answering the question?

Originally posted by David CAll that "evidence" means nothing if you have a living relationship with the God of the Bible. If you do you'll know what I mean. If you don't you won't know what I mean. But once you've experienced the life-changing power of the Bible you will never doubt it's truthfulness.

😴 Read the first part of the question and read my answer. If you still can't figure it out let me know.
Are you saying that if you die and discover that a different god exists and rules the universe and this god says, "Come accept me and love me and you will gain entrance into heaven, but reject me and suffer in Hell for eternity," you would reject this god?

What gives you that impression? Of course other gods exist. The only problem is that they are dead idols. Unless of course you could prove otherwise...

If you meet a different god on judgement day, will you accept that you were wrong and enter heaven or will you be stubborn and suffer eternal torture?

Did God miss those texts or are they somehow the "truth" as well?
