I Believe In God

I am convinced God is love and whether you are christian or muslim or gay or whatever....if you live a life of love you are reflecting God and in a way are worshipping him. I believe Jesus is God but you can also find Jesus in other religions...you guessed it...its his love...so go out and love your neighbour and show kindness and thats the way of God. Yw

Sorry my friend, I must disagree.

The Apostle Peter would not be in agreement with your statement. Speaking of Jesus in Acts 4:12 the Bible says, "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”

Christianity is not Universalism. There are not many paths that lead to God. Jesus says in John 14:6, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

Yes we are to love others, even our enemies. Yes God is love. But salvation is exclusive to Jesus.

Peace.

@SW-User Ok so before Jesus even died on the cross people were going to heaven....the whole old testament is filled with people like Abraham etc....now I'm going to use Jesus/love interchangeably because Satan cannot duplicate love and mercy...1 Corinthians 13 right? and so what if people are living like Jesus but have never said His name before. What if you are born deaf, blind and mute and you don't even have the bible or the Holy Spirit giving revelation? also...theif on the cross. people hate that story but whose to say with your last breath as you are dying you see Jesus and he says " oh yeah thats me ...all the love you have been sharing with people....you get to come through me now and be saved...good job......like the Roman Centurion who "feared God and gave alms to the poor'. He met Jesus through Peter but before that he still had favour with God....I dont have all the answers and this life is a mystery but God can be found in many places as long as worship "reflects who He is"
