Absolutely not. Anyone who does not believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God who died for their sins is an enemy of God. This is very serious with God. How you treat His Son is how He treats you. However, I do believe most people will be saved. I believe the great tribulation will convert hundreds of millions to Christianity.

No on has gone up to heaven except the one who came down from heaven, the son of man.

The righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their heavenly Father.

The kingdom of God is among you.

The kingdom of God is at hand.

So what ... ???

That's why I just by-passed all the smoke and mirrors and said:
Then why ask ... other than to confirm your hatred of the truth.
Couldn't you have gotten the same answer in the godless forums where the godless can mock to their hearts delight?

to which you've only reconfirmed where this was headed.

God so loved the world that he gave mankind free will that whosoever does good works will not perish but have eternal life.
LoL

So if a Muslim or Jew or any person even an Atheists or Pagan does good and lives a good life then God who is most Merciful will forgive them of their disbelief.

How you treat his son is how he treats you. Where are you getting this stuff from ?.

Have you not heard that our Heavenly Father is kind to the ungrateful and wicked ?. Therefore love your enemies, then you have no enemy.

So why did Jesus have to die?

^^^^^^^^ Because those who killed him, their Father was a murderer from the beginning.

But when the tenants saw the son, they said to each other, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him and take his inheritance.’ So they took him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.

You are confusing religion with God.

Religion is what we think God is like.


No one can know what God is like. Your approximation is as valid as the approximation of a Muslim. These guys can be as religious and pious as you are.


Some Muslims play the same game you play: "My religion is better than yours". That is what the Catholic Church use to play in medieval times. Times have changed. The RCA recognizes other religions and even acknowledges the Big Bang and evolution. Having said that, I don't believe Catholicism is better than your religion.
