More like...we, as humans are prone to God based feelings.AlanGurvey said:It all depends, in reality he isn't because he sends all who are just to heaven. So in reality he is not, but if he demands belief to gain salvation
Than he is prone to a base human feeling, which he as G-d is not!

So, you're questioning God's maturity?AlanGurvey said:
I for one, do not consider my God foolish in any way. I think He knows what He's doing.
I don't know the heart of Ghandi. But God did. And whatever happened to Ghandi in death is between Ghandi and God.
As a Christian, in my faith...I can only stand firm on what I believe and I believe that Christ is the key to salvation.

I for one do not consider G-d immature, because i know above all else G-d is rational and just and enlightened. When you are at the apex of the three qualities you tend to not care if people praise you or not, but care about the more important aspects of thier personalitydawny0826 said:
Thier deeds!
This is what G-d measures you on if you are to attain salvation, he is not a selfish child who demands recognition! AND YES YOU DO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS TO GHANDI IN CHRISTIAN THEOLOGY! JUST BECAUSE HE DIDN'T PRAISE THE HOLY SPIRIT HE IS NOW DESTINDED TO HELL IN THE CHRISTIAN OUTLOOK!
And when you are the most powerful and intelligent being in existance, base emotions such as pride do not plaque you

And I won't argue with you that salvation WAS obtained through deeds AND obedience at one time. And again, I know you won't agree with me here and I don't expect you to...I just want to lay out where I'm coming from here.
I believe that God loved us so much that he came to earth and showed us how to live our lives through Jesus Christ, who I believe was God in the flesh. He then hung on a cross in agony, taking upon himself all of the sins of the world, so that if we chose to believe in him and abandon our will and follow him, we could have everlasting life with our Heavenly Father. And when accepting the sacrifice that God made for us...the ultimate atonement for our sins...we have it...we have everlasting life...we have salvation in Christ and receive the indwelling of God's precious Spirit.
There is nothing selfish about this view on salvation. Most Christians accept that fact that God loved us so much he sacrified Himself in the flesh for us. Belief and acceptance in that sacrifice saves us from sin...from hell.
I don't know the heart of Ghandi. But God certainly does. And perhaps you and I can both agree upon the fact that God doesn't make mistakes. Whatever judgement God makes is just.

If im not mistaken, I think, that if anyone who has not heard the good news of christ. then God would have put you under the Golden rule. Love thy neighbor as thyself. I think thats only if you have not heard of christ. but if you have heard of christ, I think you fall under his new covenant
To those of you who believe in hell if one isn't a Christian is quite scary. There are many childeren in other countries where other religions are prevalent(east) and those children are brought up to believe in that religion associated with the family and never even heard of christianity. It would be pretty sad to know that they're going to hell.
