What an analogy of two friends. It clearly explains the need of the Law. Also Heaven is a place where sin can not enter. So, we desperately needed someone who could bear our sin. He voluntarily did so. I love him for all he has done to me. This kind of peace can not be attained without him.

I truly believe and was raised Catholic. However, there is one question that I’ve never been able to resolve. Why are children dying of terminal illnesses, abused by their own parents or forced to live in unimaginable circumstances? I ask this respectfully as I’ve yet to find the answer.

I can't imagine anyone going through life believing in this. I'd sooner have been aborted.
Actually give me the choice of never being born or spending an eternity in heaven as it is vaguely described in the bible I'll choose the former.

@MoveAlong I can understand how you feel but I hope you give it a second thought because that's one thing we can't control and that is death is imminent and we do want to make sure we go to the right place. Eternity is an awfully long time. The one thing we can control is what choice we make as to where we wish to spend eternity. Thank you for talking about this civally.
@MoveAlong Well, I think you're right, sir. Salvation has nothing to do with denomination or what religion you were brought up in. One must study all and make up their own mind whom they wish to serve, no matter how they were brought up, however, the Bible makes it clear that salvation certainly has nothing to do with one's denomination. John 3:16 does not say unless you are Muslim or Buddhist or Hindu or any other religion, you can't go to heaven. It's specifically says that Jesus died to save the whole world, not just some and he tells us exactly how to be saved, so we don't have to guess. God is the God of the universe and he died for the whole world. No other religions are necessary. None, because no religion can save us... only the grace of God by faith. That's what God said and who better would know? I trust him over any man-made philosophy. Religion did not die on the cross to save me from the condemnation that sin placed on me. The person of Jesus did.
