@MrAverage1965 The followers of Christ do not regard it as a religion. Anyone can have "religion", but not everybody has a personal Savior. Religion did not die on the cross to save me from the condemnation that sin placed on all of us. Jesus did. Religion is man-made philosophy and is purely empty without Christ in it. Jesus did not die for religion or religious people. He died for everyone in the world.
@MrAverage1965 Right, and I see no better choice, do you? It's inevitable that we have an appointment with death and our souls are going to go to either Heaven or Hell. This is why we have the Word of God, so that we don't have to guess about these things and how to get to heaven. And this is one choice we cannot afford to get wrong. God is no liar. He is incapable of lying and so I know I can trust His Word. No other god in this universe gave their life to save us from our sins, so we could have eternal life in heaven. If it wasn't for Jesus, we would have all went to hell. There is no greater love than the love of Jesus Christ, whom God the Father approved and appointed to be Savior of the world.
