To Christians (gospel, hell, church, after-life, Holy Spirit)

[Corban]

This is a question to those who call themselves Christians. What do you believe will happen to other Christians who do not believe the way you do? If you are catholic, what of non-catholics, if baptist, what of non-baptists, if methodist what of non-methodis, and so on.

Corban, no matter what they think about other religions, they're all pretty sure we're going straight to Hell.

So is it that people don't know, or don't care? why has no one answered, it's a pretty simple question.

What will happen???? Happen as in how? I personally don't care what you call yourself, what denomination you are in, whether you are Catholic or Protestant, or whatever. Whether or not you are a true believer is between you and God. I think it's so sad that Christendom is divided over so many truly petty doctrinal arguments.

No matter the denomination a true christian should have no worries about the after-life.

1260 "Since Christ died for all, and since all men are in fact called to one and the same destiny, which is divine, we must hold that the Holy Spirit offers to all the possibility of being made partakers, in a way known to God, of the Paschal mystery." Every man who is ignorant of the Gospel of Christ and of his Church, but seeks the truth and does the will of God in accordance with his understanding of it, can be saved. It may be supposed that such persons would have desired Baptism explicitly if they had known its necessity.

then who is a true Christian? if each denomination believes differently about Christ, then they believe in a different Christ, because Christ is perfect and unchanging, and they therefore can not all be true Christians.

then who is a true Christian?

Someone who believes that Christ came and died for our sins, and that the way to salvation is through Him.

What about billions of non-believers in asia? Are they doomed? Would a loving and all knowing God forbid them to enter heaven because they were never taught? Why are 80% of the worlds children dying of starvation? Is the suffering of children pleasing to this christian god? I could come up with a better and more humane plan if I was a god. How many Catholics re-wrote the bible to please their desires before it ended up the 'King James Version? I spent a lot of my years believing the Christian faith but at 62 yrs of age reality has me very dissappointed. Evangelists with millions of dollars and local preachers here at home who have never wanted for anything while the congregation gives from their meager salaries because they believe in this Christian God someone created.
This God no one can see or hear but pretend they can--while others do mummblings and pretend to heal the sick. --that would make headlines!
Getting rich while preaching something you yourself don't believe put this religion under the microscope.
There is a basic desire in the human being to have a God--a super being--one who controls life and death. I have one--he has no name--he is mine and only mine--I do not share him with anyone . He doesn't have a book and teaches me to live with decency and common sense at the same time allowing all others their dignity and freedom.. I allow others to have the god of their choice but I feel no PERSON can teach others about a god created by a currupt society for their own personal desires.

/agree Emu,

Picture Christianity as a giant LAN party. The purpose is to play video games, drink mountain dew, and have fun. Everyone may bring different computers or chose to drink something else, but the basic premises still remain... you're gonna play games and have fun.

Wow, what a nerdy analogy.
