Christians did you ever think for your relatives that if you could trade places with them the ones who are lost. I did all the time when I first became a Christian. But I know you can't.
But I saw this verse a little while ago. Paul and I relate how awesome is that. Mainly verse 3
Romans 9:2-4
2My heart is filled with bitter sorrow and unending grief 3for my people, my Jewish brothers and sisters. I would be willing to be forever cursed--cut off from Christ!--if that would save them. 4They are the people of Israel, chosen to be God's special children. God revealed his glory to them. He made covenants with them and gave his law to them. They have the privilege of worshiping him and receiving his wonderful promises.

Oh dear...
This must be quite a burdon for you.
All the relationships I have with my co-workers, freinds and family is not a religion. So why would my relationship with God through Chrsit be a religion?
It is the person in that state that makes the definition. and I say that I am not in a religion.
I have been saved by Grace. Not that you would understand. read this.
Eph. 1:3-14
3Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. 4For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love 5he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— 6to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. 7In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace 8that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding. 9And he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, 10to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment—to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ.
11In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, 12in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. 13And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, 14who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession—to the praise of his glory.
Originally posted by RBHILLIt's funny how the followers of so many different, mutually exclusive, religions consider themselves as the only ones whom God will save. The 'non-saved' must now number between about 4 to 6 billion depending on which version of the delusion one takes as the 'true' one.
