-=d=- said:I think nobody will go to hell based on their religion. People will go to hell based on whether or not they accepted Christ thru a renewing of their spirit...and spiritually became born-again. No tradition or action or repetitive chants or burned offering or any such man-made method will work. The only simple, sure way to find Christ is by asking Him something like the following:
Yo..Christ...Jesus. I'm lost without you - I know I have and do sin. I believe you when you said you are the Christ, and I believe you died so to recieve the punishment for my sin I was due. Please, Lord, Forgive my sins; help me and renew my spirit. Holy Spirit I ask for your presence and guidance each day. Thanks...I can't make it without you; I don't want to be apart for you.
That's it. Of course there are variations, but the idea is to TALK to Christ; proclaim your belief in Him; Ask his Forgiveness and to be renewed in Spirit. Then - do it. Live your life in prayer and contemplation of Christ. Learn to listen to His voice in your life. That sorta thing.
Contempt? Where have I issued statements of contempt? Don't read into things...please.
Exactly and we MUST confess our sins, if possible, individually. For example: Forgive me Christ, for I have smoked some weed, which is not good for me, I have been a drunkard, I have lusted after women, I have lied, etc., etc. You must confess your wrongdoings and ask him to forgive you.
