She’s right. If it upsets you, take it up with Jesus Christ. He said it first.
If you don’t BELIEVE in Jesus Christ, than you should not be upset at what one of his followers says you need to do, as it is of no consequence.
But if the Bible is correct, and Jesus Christ is the Son of God who died for our sins, the message is clear — Accept Jesus Christ.
Only God decides who gets into heaven, don’t get me wrong. And I’m only repeating what I believe God said through his word, and you can certainly ignore that as well.
But it would be absurd, and a moral crime, for a Christian to NOT tell an unbeliever about the need for Christ when asked.
And yes, if we were all true Christians, the world WOULD be a much better place. There would still be sin in the world, but everybody would be striving to do good.
Of course, everybody wouldn’t be Christian. It is destined that many will reject the message.
People sure do get upset though when people who have firm beliefs assert the obvious meaning of those beliefs.
Get some help.
That was beautifully stated. Thank you.
You said it better than I.
She'll catch grief over this, but at least she remembered what is important.
Mark 8:35-38 [Jesus said:]
35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.
36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
Good for Ann for not being ashamed of stating what she believes and for declaring God's Love (Who IS the Way, the Truth, and the Life...).
Thank you for your excellent post (#9).
Ann is absolutely right. The world would be much better off if people were wholly devoted followers of Jesus Christ.
We must personally decide whether or not to invite the Lord Jesus Christ into our hearts to redeem us, cleanse us, forgive us, change us into His image, and give us the promise of eternal life.
Acts 4:12 “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.”
If you haven’t asked Jesus to come and live in your heart, do it today (Romans 10:9-10).
When the Apostle Paul was asked a similar question he responded with the following: Acts 26:28-29
28 Then Agrippa said to Paul, “Do you think that in such a short time you can persuade me to be a Christian?” 29 Paul replied, “Short time or long—I pray God that not only you but all who are listening to me today may become what I am, except for these chains.”
Ann isnt off on this at all. She is a Christian!
“...if we were all true Christians, the world WOULD be a much better place.”
My only concern would be who gets to decide out of the umpteen dozen denominations which one is the TRUE Christian Church?
The claim that Jews can be saved only by accepting Jesus is a Christian doctrine. As a Jew, I obviously don't accept it, but there's nothing wrong with a Christian saying that.
What is wrong, and outrageous, is her claim that America would be better off if all Jews became Christians. That is not a religious belief, it is a secular claim, and one which is not only demonstarbly wrong, but is a slap in the face to all Jewish war veterans and to all the other jews who have done so much for America.

God provided a way for man to get into heaven, but individuals decide for themselves whether or not they will go to heaven:
3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." (John 3:3)
and
18 He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. (John 3:18)
God provided a way for man to reconcile with Him and spend eternity with Him. It is up to each person to decide whether or not to take that gift and accept God's way. Each person decides his or her own destiny.
Amen Brother, I pray daily that Jesus Christ, our Lord, continue to Bless us all! even the Jews...
Ann was moved to her profession of faith by the dunces who insist on damning her and her very effective crusade of Truth!!! You go Ann!
