    Requesting Possible Answers from Christians

    Sounds pretty sound. There are several Biblical references that I do find comfort in: "Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy". (Matthew 5:7) "Do not judge, so that you may not be judged". (Matthew 7:1) "Do not judge, and you will not be judged; do not condemn, and you will not...

    Yes. Hell. Great story, Kathryn! One big problem I see is that, if I were born in a different place or time, odds are I wouldn't be a Christian. So I think, would I then be doomed, simply because I was brought up as a Muslim or a Hindu? Situation: You are a Muslim in a village during the...

    A merciful God? He has infinite power, and yet He only saves certain select people. Hmm...

    Requesting Possible Answers from Christians

    You may be right. But how is the lay man who reads the Bible supposed to know that fire=judgment? And another issue I struggle with is the validity of the Bible itself. Why should I believe it over any other "holy" book?

    But Christianity states that salvation only comes through grace by faith in Christ, right? The problem is, I don't really know what I believe that has not been somehow proven, including the validity of any one religion, but I still don't want to go to Hell.

    I know that it is "better to enter life maimed or lame than to have two hands or two feet and to be thrown into the ETERNAL fire." (Matthew 18:8) I am fairly familiar with the Bible as a whole but haven't had an in-depth reading recently.

    But how can they weep and gnash their teeth if they've been annihilated?

    Hell gets destroyed? So then what is this "Outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth"? And the rich man from The Rich Man and Lazarus parable. Where does he go? And if Jesus died for the world, why is everyone not saved? Was Jesus' sacrifice only good enough for certain...

    It's not that I doubt God's power. It's more His specific identity. And I really can't pin what I believe. I can say, "I believe that Christ is the Son of God and that he was raised from the dead" but in my heart there is still the shadow of a doubt. And I'm sure I'm not the only one. I mean...

    Don't Muslims have to basically follow the 5 Pillars? Their religious life goals, I assume?

    Christianity seems to me to be the most difficult religion to follow. In Islam, you follow certain laws and you're good to go. If you're a Jew, you're one of God's chosen people. If you're a Buddhist, you meditate and get enlightened. But faith is different. You can't give yourself faith. God is...

    What do you define as "children"? Is there an age cutoff or something where one day one is an innocent child without sin, and the next he/she is sinful?

    One can not have "free will" and still be destined for heaven.
