Am I saved?

[Muffled]

1) You're not monotheistic.
2) Everyone will be "saved".

1. I believe she is monotheistic if there are no other gods before the one true God.

2. I believe the wicked are not saved.

 

[Spiderman]

1) You're not monotheistic.
2) Everyone will be "saved".

I am monotheistic. I believe other spiritual entities exist and can be invoked, but they were all created by one God.

 

[Muffled]

This is your lucky day, so glad that I could bring the good news to you.

HELL DOESN'T EXIST

I believe luck has nothing to do with it because there is a Hell. Just saying it doesn't exist does not make it so.

 

[Muffled]

I believe some people are nicer than God.... I also believe my prayers can benefits Souls as they continue their Journey towards perfection

I believe the devil can be nicer and quite charming but only God loves you.

 

[Muffled]

Well....no fire, anyways. It’s only the common grave, where all (Ecclesiastes 9:10) humans go when they die....and from which, they all will be resurrected (“....hell gave up those dead in” it. After that, Hell is “cast / thrown” away, gone forever. (Revelation 20:13-14)

I believe the Bible is explicit in stating there is fire.

 

[sealchan]

So,

I would consider myself a Christian because I accept Jesus as my Lord and savior and go to daily mass at a Catholic Christian Church.
I believe the God of Abraham is the only God.
But believe he has billions of Spirits that are helping him and some of those spirits are recognized as gods or goddesses.

I started praying to the great sun goddess Amaterasu, and printed out some pics of her to put on my wall.

I think she is probably the Spirit of some (Empress of Japan maybe) who continues to assist the nation with her prayers, intercession, and grace from Heaven. It is said that all the Emperors are descendants of Amaterasu, so she was probably a human being, who began appearing to people or influencing them after her death, and working miracles (similar to Marian apparitions), and then myths and legends came about.

Bottom line is, I'm praying that she and the spirits she works with, would be allied with Jesus, Mary, and the God of Abraham.

I don't believe the Shinto mythology about Amaterasu, but I do believe her to be a supernatural entity, a Saint or Angel, that is powerful, and can be invoked.

I believe the more than 2.4 million soldiers enshrined as "divinities" at Yasakuni Shrine and other Shinto Shrines, are powerful spirits who can benefit from our prayers, sacrifices, penance, suffering, and offerings. So, Yasakuni has become my Mecca, the sight most sacred to my heart that is the focus of many of my prayers. I believe the soldiers at Yasakuni are powerful, (and have a feeling they were partially responsible for the fall of the Soviet Union.)


So, I think I'm still Christian though. I believe in one God, so I'm monotheistic. I just believe some of the other "gods" and "goddesses" are spirits created by the God of Israel, some good, some bad.

◄ Romans 10:9 ►
If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved

I declare it and believe it, does this mean if I die today, I'm saved?

That's a good question for you and God to sort out. I will believe you whatever you determine.

 

[wizanda]

I declare it and believe it, does this mean if I die today, I'm saved?

We do not get saved for believing Yeshua is Lord, and that he died & resurrected... That is only saved according to the Pharisees John, Paul and Simon.

. I just believe some of the other "gods" and "goddesses" are spirits created by the God of Israel

There are divine qualities surrounding the Source (CPU), and it isn't the God of Israel alone; it makes the whole of reality.

These are representations of Source energy; who go beyond names and images, as it is all part of the Oneness of God.

I don't believe the Shinto mythology about Amaterasu

This isn't something that is allowable, if a culture has a defined expression of these divine qualities, and we ignore them, this often leads to lessening them qualities.

So, I think I'm still Christian though.

By being a Christian someone can not be saved, as they follow the lies, and have no clue they're going the wrong way.

People can only be saved, if they're worth keeping...

Only if we show that we're on the road to enlightenment, that we're an asset, and are worthy of being in a time of Godliness, by our overall character and actions.

In my opinion.

 

[Sleeppy]

1. I believe she is monotheistic if there are no other gods before the one true God.

2. I believe the wicked are not saved.

1. Monotheism is belief in one God.
2. The righteous don't need saving, do they?

 

[Sleeppy]

I am monotheistic. I believe other spiritual entities exist and can be invoked, but they were all created by one God.

If you believe there are other gods, you've disqualified yourself.

 

[Spiderman]

I believe in other spirits. I believe in one God.

 

[Sleeppy]

I believe in other spirits. I believe in one God.

I see what you're saying; these spirits are recognized as other gods, but are not. My mistake.

But I will say, if you believe in free will, that too is antithetical to monotheism. Free will necessitates that God be subverted (no longer Supreme), in favor of individual creation of will (no longer sole Creator). I have no other qualms, other than those.

I hope you know, according to the Bible, it is wrong to keep other gods than the one and only true God. And it is wrong to make images of god and/or worship them.


This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.
John 17:3

For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
1 Timothy 2:5


You shall have no other gods before me. "You shall not make for yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
Ex. 20:3-4

Christian meant originally a disciple of Jesus. If you are truly disciple of Jesus, remain in his teaching and don’t follow other “gods” than the Bible God.

Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, "If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples. You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."
John 8:31-32

Hello

Only God know.

In majority of Muslim scholar's views ,most of other religion are in risk.

 

[Jesster]

Sure, you're a Christian. Why not?

 

[whirlingmerc]

I think that verse is a summary of believing Jesus is the Lord God, who died for sin and was raised from the
dead

Let's take another look at what the gospel is Quest for Joy

I pray for you frequently. The hireling sees the wolf coming and flees. But I'm not wanting to be a hireling. So let me warn you. The scriptures compare people to sheep and as you know sheep are basically defenseless against large predators. The wolf, the lion etc. All of these naturally prey on sheep. The point I'm making is that just as sheep need a Shepherd to defend them so do we humans. If we are delving into spiritual things by ourselves without a Shepherd then we're as sheep wandering on the hills alone. We will become prey to the predators. If you want to be defended then you will be near the good Shepherd.

Psalm 23 King James Version (KJV)
23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

You need to stop all that ancestor worship stuff (which is blind unguided spirituality) and trust in the Lord Jesus. (the Good Shepherd) A little leaven leavens the whole lump. You may need deliverance from demons. (Don't be alarmed as many people do need deliverance from demons.) I caution you to pray to Jesus. He was human you know and He makes intercession to God on our behalf as the priest of the order of Melchizedek. And find someone who can help you get rid of any demons.

I will continue to pray for you.

The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee; Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion; in Jesus name amen.

 

[Kapalika]

Well within parameters, but why do you care what others think? Just practice and live your life. Either way it's pretty much good enough for me that you believe in a concept of Jesus and say you are Christian.

IMHO, we cannot perfect ourselves, even via the Christian religion:

1. "Heaven" is a place where only perfect people can live--without ruining paradise for others
2. No one is perfect save Jesus Christ
3. Christ died a horrible death by torture to pay for our sin, guilt and shame--our imperfection
4. Trust Jesus Christ, and you will someday be transformed to be ready for Heaven

You ARE a true Christian if you've trusted Jesus to save you. If you are trying to get into Heaven via mass attendance, you'd best check your salvation IMHO.

keep the parables in mind and heart
then you will be Christian

Do unto others as you would have done unto you

you will end up alongside others that think and feel as you do

saved?......yes of course

 

[Kelly of the Phoenix]

I declare it and believe it, does this mean if I die today, I'm saved?

I think monotheism is not the original outlook and theological politics shoehorned monotheism to ensure maximum political and economic profit. Myself, I'm starting to warm to Anat, part of the pre-monotheistic pantheon shared by Canaanites and Hebrews/Jews. She's becoming a major player in the book I'm writing. The best part of henotheism or polytheism is that if one deity doesn't want to save you, maybe another will.

An eternity in Hell!

Satan's not nearly as tough as he tells people. All you really need is the balls to call him out on his crap and he loses his power over you.

You shall have no other gods before me. "You shall not make for yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:

God is supposedly not of Creation though, so it'd actually be impossible to make such an image.

So let me warn you. The scriptures compare people to sheep and as you know sheep are basically defenseless against large predators.

The shepherds aren't feared but they're the ones who eat lamb chops after spending years fattening them up. Large predators are hit or miss. It is guaranteed the shepherd will eat you if the predators don't.
