  • Every person has the right to choose his religion so i am not hating if you become christian/muslim/sikh/hindu. I chose to be quranist muslim who pray to omnipresent GOD only and donot call dead humans like jesus or muhammad or other saints whom are considered to be floating in air by other people.
    Even if a person finds hard to believe in messengers or scriptures like torah,gospel,quran but still thanks sightless GOD daily and keep general values like honesty,chastity,kindness,justice have achieved salvation in my opinion. BUT i donot think people giving son or partner to GOD are safe.

    • Hi and thanks for the interesting comment. I agree with the first sentence. But if I thought Jesus were dead or floating in the air, I wouldn't believe in him either! The cornerstone of the Christian faith is that Jesus is alive, not dead.

      A wise man told me once there are only two kinds of religion in the world. The religion of Do, and the religion of Done. Christianity is the religion of Done. Jesus already did everything necessary for our salvation. Everything else is Do. The question for all those following Do is, have you Done enough?

      • Do you mean if jesus was not born, then nobody could achieve salvation whether adam,abraham,me,you ?

        • Great question! Adam: not sure. He started the whole mess by rebelling against God. Was he subsequently saved? Don't know. Abraham: he trusted God and it was credited to him as righteousness (Gen 15:6), but his sin still had to be dealt with by Jesus on the cross, same as us. The key word is "trust". Abraham was not perfect but he trusted that God would somehow account for his sin. Me & you: Jesus came so that God's justice could be satisfied. Sin results in spiritual death. Either it's our spiritual death, or it's Jesus's (once for all) death. We all have to choose, and no religious works (religion of Do) can satisfy God's justice. Only Jesus, because he was perfect and free of sin, can do that.
