Is Christianity the only way?

1. You need to be religious as a human
It's like 50% humans believe that afterlife exists, the other 50% believe that it does not exist. It's outside the reach of human science to give a conclusion. As a result, 100% humans are religious and are divided into 2 sides of the same fence. That is, as a human you need to believe in something.

So when you have to believe in something, you choose to believe in void?! What for? Anyway, 50% humans believing in a void after death, 50% believe in the existence of afterlife.

2. Comparing religions
So I choose to be religious instead of believing/worshipping VOID.

Now all human religions are about one single thing, it is called faith. All human religions are about faith. Yet some religions are not about faith, say, some of them are about 'cause and effect'. So this kind of religions are false religions as they don't know about what they are talking about. They are the religions about faith but not about faith, still humans believe in. It's thus unbelieveable that humans believe in something about faith but not about faith, more like that they believe in something good for them but bad for them. Still they believe.

So I choose not to believe in human created VOID and I don't believe in something 'about faith but not about faith'. That's why I choose those religions which are faith-centered or faith-cored, such as Christianity or perhaps Muslim.

3. Salvation and sins
Now some said, you can be saved by wrapping all women like mummies as in most Arab countries such that your eyes will not be comteminated. Some even said that you should isolate yourself from the society to remain un-contemminated, say, by the porn movies, violent TV programs, half-naked gals in ADs and so forth. It sounds like you should live in mountain caves alone in order to cut yourself from sins to keep your salvation.

So I choose not to believe in human created VOID, and I don't believe in stuff which is 'about faith but not about faith', and I don't wanna live in mountain caves alone.

As a result, the only option left is Christianity where our Lord Jesus Christ atoned for all our sins, and all we need to do is upholding our faith to believe in Him, and to follow Him to meet with our Father who are in Heaven.

Sound reasonable?


BTW, if you are in contact with certain evil spirits, you may know some details about perhaps their own lives when they were on earth.

MindOverMatter:

I'm afraid you are reacting rather than reflecting over what has been said to you.

You want people to rationally consider what you are offering (video and all).  But the video does not offer a serious critical analysis of the little boy's memories, or the parents' testimony about what influences may or may not have been part of the boys' early years, nor how much the influence of the father's ongoing research affected what the boy said and did.

No, this is simply a one-sided presentation that does not seriously consider any counterexplanation.

(And please note, that nothing I've said relies one iota on Christian belief.  In fact, i would encourage you to look up articles on reincarnation from the atheist/agnostic skeptic websites)

I don't think you have proved anything expect that you watch too much television.

and when you say the majority of people would believe a lie over the truth dont you know that the majority of the people on earth believe in christianity.

The majority of the world claims to be Christian, but the same polls show a majority of people admit to lying regularly. So I think its clear to see that not everything that glitters is gold and not everyone calling themselves Christian necessarily are.

But the point remains that you are rejecting the Biblical truth of sin, death, and judgment for these invented fantasies that people are recyclable and they will not be accountable for their sins. I got news for you, the Bible states it is appointed for man once to die and after this the judgment. So again if you want to wager your soul against the Word of God that's fine, but the odds are incalculably stacked against you and the stakes are higher than you can possibly afford.

and its not like some random person made this video it was on "primetime" on ABC and huge network..it seems like ur tryin to make excuses for this video instead of lookin for the truth

If I am going to look for the truth I am certainly not going to be basing my research on primetime television. If you were really interested in the truth and not just looking to cast doubt on Christianity and the Bible you might start asking questions about reality and stop hiding behind sensationalism and video exposes.

Just a reminder, you are going to die and the Bible states you are going to stand before a holy and just God who will judge you according to your works. If you have lusted, you are an adulterer. If you have hated, you are a murderer. If you have lied, you are a liar. If you have used God's name in vain, you are a blasphemer. So just how well do you think you are going to fair on the day of judgment?

You might think God is a loving and forgiving God, if there is a judgment I'm sure he will just overlook my sins and transgressions because the Bible says somewhere God is forgiving. That line of thinking is leading countless billions of people into hell as you read this. God is not forgiving to people who do not repent and who reject the provision of salvation he has offered in his Son, Jesus Christ.

Think of it this way, if you were in court for heinous crimes and you said to the judge "I'm really sorry for for what I did and I know you're a good judge, can you please forgive me?" How well do you think that is going work? If the judge is a good judge he wont forgive you, and because he is a good judge he will give you justice according to your crimes, not forgiveness. This is the entire purpose of judgment, not to receive forgiveness but to receive justice and punishment for crimes. This is no different then the judgment you face if you die in your sins.

But in the same scenario if someone were to take your place in that courtroom and take your punishment you could good free, justice would be served, and you would be forgiven of your crimes based upon their sacrifice. That is what the Gospel teaches, that Jesus 2000 years ago entered the courtroom of God and took your punishment so that you could go free. All you have to do is accept that payment and receive his forgiveness.

You have a choice, you can either believe all this voodoo spirituality which will never cure your sin condition or prepare you to meet your maker, or you can admit you are a sinner and repent of your wicked ways and turn to Christ to receive payment and forgiveness of your sins.

The choice is yours.

Mind, why is this topic of reincarnation so important to you?   Confused  Perhaps we should start a new thread here?
