So it will stay the same? Humans will continue as we always have done and we can't change. Is that it?

Forward to what or where?

No, not you, but there are other Christians running about that are Smarty-pantsers. The dead giveaway is when they say they know.I’m a Dedicated and Habitual Smarty-pantser.
No, according to my beliefs it will never be the same as it has always been.So it will stay the same? Humans will continue as we always have done and we can't change. Is that it?
So do you believe that people can save themselves?
Yes.Do you mean, to people in and through their own efforts and ability can achieve eternal salvation?
Yes on earth When the sun comes into contact with the leaked gasHell is both a place within ourselves and many places on earth.

Or Does God Send Us There? OR is it a combination of the two?
The question arose because of a video I was watching, which can be accessed HERE if one wishes to watch. (The relevant discussion starts at about the 1:20 mark, and the video does contain the F word.)
So, what do you think?
No... I personally don't hold to that position. I call that "religion", where man has the power to reach his own salvation.Yes.
I agree, religion is necessary.No... I personally don't hold to that position. I call that "religion", where man has the power to reach his own salvation.
We might have a different definition for religion. I prefer saying "faith and relationship is necessary". Maybe we are just seeing the same diamond but at a different angle.I agree, religion is necessary.

If we believe in G-d and do appropriate good deeds , we will be sent to heaven. It is mentioned in Quran..

But first one would have to know what those appropriate good deeds are. Unfortunately, not everyone was let in on the clues and evidently went down instead of up when they died. Something that still holds true today.If we believe in G-d and do appropriate good deeds , we will be sent to heaven. It is mentioned in Quran.

Below is my definition of religion. It is the Revelation from God. I am quite sure it is different from how Christians define religion.We might have a different definition for religion. I prefer saying "faith and relationship is necessary". Maybe we are just seeing the same diamond but at a different angle.
It is also sad that this is not the only thing people create it their imagination, there are many other things too. For example, Allah, God, soul, prophets and their prophecies, sons, messengers, manifestations, mahdis supposed to have been sent by Allah / God.I consider that sad that people actually believe these things. What do you think?
You may, but the atheists do not find it that way.I agree, religion is necessary.
That is too much of a nonsense to be replied to.Who believes that his ancestors were monkeys Believes in the nonsense explosion
That's a nice quote.Below is my definition of religion. It is the Revelation from God. I am quite sure it is different from how Christians define religion.
“And now concerning thy question regarding the nature of religion. Know thou that they who are truly wise have likened the world unto the human temple. As the body of man needeth a garment to clothe it, so the body of mankind must needs be adorned with the mantle of justice and wisdom. Its robe is the Revelation vouchsafed unto it by God. Whenever this robe hath fulfilled its purpose, the Almighty will assuredly renew it. For every age requireth a fresh measure of the light of God. Every Divine Revelation hath been sent down in a manner that befitted the circumstances of the age in which it hath appeared.”
Gleanings From the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, p. 81
If we have a religious affiliation, "faith in God and relationship to God” are necessary" in order to practice our religion.
That is also a Baha'i teaching:That's a nice quote.
This is our definition of religion. It is an action
James 1:26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. 27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
I remember (if I have it correctly) that when a Jewish person asks what is your religion, he isn't asking what denomination of faith but rather what is it that you do because of what you believe (or something like that)That is also a Baha'i teaching:
“The essence of faith is fewness of words and abundance of deeds; he whose words exceed his deeds, know verily his death is better than his life.” Tablets of Bahá’u’lláh, p. 156
76: O SON OF MY HANDMAID! Guidance hath ever been given by words, and now it is given by deeds. Every one must show forth deeds that are pure and holy, for words are the property of all alike, whereas such deeds as these belong only to Our loved ones. Strive then with heart and soul to distinguish yourselves by your deeds. In this wise We counsel you in this holy and resplendent tablet. The Hidden Words of Bahá’u’lláh, pp. 48-49
