There is only one way to the Father and that way is through Jesus Christ.
Thank you my brother but that point is NOT in dispute.
Is it your belief that people who don't learn that in the time allotted to them on Earth are sent to Hell?

Yes.So does the woman in my example then go to Heaven without ever having believed in Jesus?
God is a just God.Is it your belief that people who don't learn that in the time allotted to them on Earth are sent to Hell?
@amigo de christoThats right my friend . If you will take a real simple notice
there is now this huge onset that has come in within christendom .
Now before i remind you , cause i THINK YOU already know this , allow me to remind us all
of what the very one thing the serpent was all about .
As are his men today .
What did the serpent want eve to BELIEVE . ;was it what GOD had said , or rather what he said .
THIS that has come within christendome
Will do anything and everything it can to remove something .
But this very SOMETHING both CHRIST and the apostels had preached from the start .
TO BELIEVE GOD , TO BELIEVE HIS CHRIST .
what this very crafity serpent has done
is done all to try and remove the BELIEVE in CHRIST part . OH and HE KNOWS HOW TO MAKE IT SEEM SO VERY LOVING
on his very BROAD INCLUSIVE and DIVERSE path he do preach .
WHAT DID GOD tell adam . YE must NOT eat of the tree in the midst of the garden because in the day you do
YOU DIE .
What did JESUS say , IF YE BELIEVE NOT HE WHOM GOD DID SEND
IF ye believe not . but today all we see are sensual messages that go about
INSTEAD of reminding and telling of the DIRE NEED TO BELEIVE
they go around trying to plant ideas about how it just might be okay IF ONE DID NOT BELIEVE .
WE got us an anti christ message all over the place . And the devil sure knows how to make it sound so very loving
and very accepting and how all have such a wonderful good end , IF , but that IF DONT INCLUDE the BELIEVE IN JESUS PART
it says something else . and that something else no matter what word they try and use , like just loved
or just etc , IT AINT SAVING DIDLY DOO . and THE DEVIL WHO WANTS ALL Damned has brought a message
of damanation in , under the guise that it is love and is of GOD .
It really is time for us to fall back in love with the TRUTH , and THE FATHER IS TRUTH , THE SON IS TRUTH
the SPIRIT is TRUTH , and them words in that bible ARE TRUTH . folks better watch out cause decepetion abounds big time .
@amigo de christoIts becoming quite clear that the spiritual discernment GOD gave me of this person , ITS BEING CONFIRMED big time .
THey have not come to ask questions but to create doubt . INTERFAITH Is STRONG in this one.
Many cannot see or discern as they sat under the judge not and correct nots . it has become lets all find commn ground and get along .
on that path It will end in DESTRUCTION . My heart breaks and weeps for many
but remember I DID TRY AND HELP by warning out against such things and by pointing to continually
the dire reminder and reminders of CHRIST and them apostels .
That is a great story, but not one told by Jesus.....it illustrates an important point though......”inspect what you sell your soul for......BEFORE you buy it.”It is like a man that went on a journey to find the promised land .
He stepped into a church and asked where he can find this promised land .
No one can remove the severity of God’s actions because complete destruction awaits those who fail to obey the Christ in all that he taught.Let he or she who has ears to hear and eyes to see read the parable of he or she who removes
the warnings and severity of GOD and decides to buy into another version of His goodness
for it will not bold well for those who do so on the DAY of the LORD .
what did that man in the parable not realize .
JW’s do not practice interfaith, but we try as best we can to follow Jesus’ teachings to the letter...”just so”, not making excuses for NOT doing as Christ commanded....he told us to take “the good news of the Kingdom” out to the people, (Matt 10:11-14)....a work only accomplished on a global scale by the power of God’s spirit. Jesus told his disciples that he would be “with” them in this work as part of the “sign” of his “presence”. (Matt 28:18-20; Matt 24:3-14) He also said that his authority came from his Father.TRUTH , there is great danger in taking scrips out of text . And yet what i say to one i say to all
A HECKTON of christendom now does this . the JW has been well at doing so . but they are not alone
The RCC and scores of others do the same . Watch out buyer that what one do buy is not a well cloaked lie
but rather OPEN THE BIBLE and BUY THAT TRUTH for yourself . Thanks for that reminder my dear one .
Their bleating will not save them because they have been told the truth......but they rejected it. God will not alter their decisions. We are responsible for what we believe....because it is the heart that rejects the uncomfortable truth.....preferring to stick with the comfortable lies.
No, they do that to themselves.Does Jesus forsake them FOREVER to endless torture?
Sheol/hades is what we call Hell....Tartarus is the deepest place in Hell and Gehenna is equivalent to the Lake of FIre and Brimstone...Gehenna was the garbage pit in Jerusalem that burned day and Night.I’d like to hear how you think this parable is literal…..taking into account what Jews believed about death and Sheol/hades….(Eccl 9:5, 10; Eccl 3:19-20; Psalm 115:17)
And what Jesus taught “Gehenna” to be….? (Matt 23:33)
I have read it many times and would love to discuss it…..
God has indeed chosen how to save . but as you well wroteNo, they do that to themselves.
existance and consciouness ends with the death of the person, yet the soul is still eternal. we live in a container.I’d like to hear how you think this parable is literal…..taking into account what Jews believed about death and Sheol/hades….(Eccl 9:5, 10;
Here Solomon is telling us the end of animals and man is the same....they both die, they are not conscious and their bodies return to earth...Man's soul is eternal,the Bible does not speak of a soul for an animal.Eccl 3:19-20;
the Dead voices are not heard again on earth. Their voices are silent.Psalm 115:17)
And what Jesus taught “Gehenna” to be….? (Matt 23:33)
I have read it many times and would love to discuss it…..
they dont call it interfaith . but believe me dear friendJW’s do not practice interfaith, but we try as best we can to follow Jesus’ teachings to the letter...”just so”, not making excuses for NOT doing as Christ commanded....he told us to take “the good news of the Kingdom” out to the people, (Matt 10:11-14)....a work only accomplished on a global scale by the power of God’s spirit.

These “last days” are a time for decision making, as it is a judgment period just like the day of Noah were before the flood. The decisions people make now, about who is “the only true God and the one he sent” (John 17:3) will determine their eternal destiny. At present all we see is a disunited rabble of conflicting ideas masquerading as “Christianity”.....When Jesus arrives as judge, he will “separate the sheep from the goats”, but the goats will imagine that they are sheep....completely deluded. (Matt 7:21-23)
Their bleating will not save them because they have been told the truth......but they rejected it. God will not alter their decisions. We are responsible for what we believe....because it is the heart that rejects the uncomfortable truth.....preferring to stick with the comfortable lies.
The unbeliever is in Total Depravavity...where his Free WIll will not lead him and where but more sin. He is a slave to sin and it will get worse and these last days progress.God has indeed chosen how to save . but as you well wrote
and JESUS himself said far better , They will not come to him
lest their evil deeds be reproved .
This is why many run to another jesus and now at the end the masses run to another gospel .
a gospel that refuses to point to the DIRE NEED to BELIEVE ON JESUS the CHRIST
and gives them two things they desire the most . A , TO FEEL saved , B to have their sin too .
This is why we have long seen other versions of JESUS preached within christendom
and now its why we see so many within christendom and the world running to
a god who offers them the idea of salvation and they can believe as they please and keep whatever sins
they so desire . The delusion of all delusions has been sent
and under this delusion it will take captive all the deceived to buy a lie
and they will be damned . But they do not know this for this very delusion
has been sold as love . Many love the broad path . many love to not have their sin corrected
but rather accepted . This is why for a long time a large part of even christendome
has loved the non correcting dont judge mindset .
Because it wont correct their sin . They wont correct other sins either , lest their own sins be corrected .
is a nasty trip this delusion . What folks dont WANT to realize
is that this is how the sepent works . He comes in as though he ya best friend and desires only good for you .
And always will be bring his lie cloaked with truths , and always the decieved do buy it .

There is no endless torture…..”hell” is a place where the dead “sleep”. There are no conscious souls in hades.Does Jesus forsake them FOREVER to endless torture?
