Gospel writer Luke wrote at Acts 2 vs 24,27,31, 32; 3 v 15 and 13 vs 30,37 that it was God who raised or resurrected Jesus out of hell.

The 'sign' in Jesus illustration of John 2 18-21 was the 'sign of Jonah'. Those verses are an ' illustrative use ' not contradicting Luke.

That's it. You don't need to be a Baptist, a JW, a Catholic, or even a Mormon to be saved. How great God is for saving us through His Son alone. I don't know why people make salvation harder than what it is.

Hmm... What happened to respecting other people's religion? I guess it does'nt apply to JW's or that many people commenting here are ignorant of the golden rule....

I think JW's are good people.

Hey...Mormon...JW...Catholic...Lutheran...etc. If you believe in Christ the Redeemer you're a Christian. Think the Good Lord gives two toots on a kazoo about this doctrinal CRAP?

That stuff is pretty plainly the invention of some human. It's not far removed from the mentality of some middle school mean girl clique.

Yeah why do things God's way, just do what ever makes you feel good and God can just suck it up and take it. No need to come to Jesus on His terms. Let's just all go to heaven in a little row boat!

I gather that you are some kind of authority on "God's way."

There have been many such, throughout history. Some of them were mass murderers.

Don't know of any row boat to heaven, but we can row our own 'boat', so to speak, to either heaven or remain on Earth.
Remain on Earth after the wicked are gone forever [ Proverbs 2 vs 21,22 ]
Not row a literal boat of course, but 'row' if not into heaven, but 'row' right into Jesus' coming 1000-year reign over Earth.
At the coming 'time of separation' of Matthew [ 25 vs 31,32 ] the living 'sheep' are alive on Earth and can remain alive on Earth right through the great tribulation [ Rev. 7 v 14 ] into Jesus' messianic millennial reign over Earth when Jesus will undo all the wrongs brought upon mankind by Satan and Adam. Even our ' last enemy' death will be brought to nothing at that time [ 1st Cor. 15 v 26; Rev. 21 vs 4,5 ]. All things will be new. 'New' on a righteous new Earth or new earthly society when the humble meek will inherit the Earth forever [ Psalm 37 vs 11,29 ].

I know I am going to Heaven! Do you?
