'Muslims can go to heaven'

[kjvtrue]

Jade,

In total agreement. That is what the Word above say's;

Ro 1:17

For in it is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

Just like Abraham. He had a promise and counted it sure. A covenant.

Now I know the Muslims call Abraham their father. Yet as Christ told the Pharisaical order of the day. Those who were Religious and not Faithful.

[Matthitjah]

KJV,

Relax, take a breath. Put down the coffee. Caffeine?

I am not preaching a works based doctrine. Although if you Love Jesus? That's another post.

This one has to do with Muslims and those who haven't heard or at least claim as such.

The Just shall live by Faith. :il:

Peace,

Dave

What happened to believing in Scripture? Did I miss a part of the scripture where Jesus said, Anybody can come to the father however they see fit?

:oww:

Didn't John quote Jesus as saying that those that had not heard of Him have no sin?

Dr Luke has this question covered, so I will attempt to answer ther other question from my understanding of scripture.

I'm not defending the muslims, because they have heard of Christ and rejected him, but what of the souls on earth who have never heard of Christ?

John 6

44  "No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will  raise him up on the last day.

45  "It is written in the prophets, 'AND THEY SHALL ALL BE TAUGHT OF GOD.' Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father, comes to Me.

There is a great verse of promise in the gospels and I not quite sure where it is, but anyway it says;

"That those who truely worship the Father, will be led to the Son"

If one truely seeks God, there is a promise that they will be led to Jesus, no matter where they are. We see and example of this in Acts 8

An Ethiopian Receives Christ

25  So, when they had solemnly testified and spoken the word of the Lord, they started back to Jerusalem, and were preaching the gospel to many villages of the  Samaritans.

26  But an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip saying, "Get up and go south to the road that descends from Jerusalem to  Gaza." (This is a desert road.)

27  So he got up and went; and there was an Ethiopian eunuch, a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure; and he  had come to Jerusalem to worship,

28  and he was returning and sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah.

29  Then  the Spirit said to Philip, "Go up and join this chariot."

30  Philip ran up and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, "Do you understand what you are reading?"

31  And he said, "Well, how could I, unless someone guides me?" And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.

32  Now the passage of Scripture which he was reading was this:

          "HE WAS LED AS A SHEEP TO SLAUGHTER;

          AND AS A LAMB BEFORE ITS SHEARER IS SILENT,

          SO HE DOES NOT OPEN HIS MOUTH.

33 

      "IN HUMILIATION HIS JUDGMENT WAS TAKEN AWAY;

          WHO WILL RELATE HIS GENERATION?

          FOR HIS LIFE IS REMOVED FROM THE EARTH."

34  The eunuch answered Philip and said, "Please tell me, of whom does the prophet say this? Of himself or of someone else?"

35  Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture he preached Jesus to him.

36  As they went along the road they came to some water; and the eunuch said, "Look! Water! What prevents me from being baptized?"

37  [And Philip said, "If you believe with all your heart, you may." And he answered and said, "I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God."]

38  And he ordered the chariot to stop; and they both went down into the water, Philip as well as the eunuch, and he baptized him.

39  When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away; and the eunuch no longer saw him, but went on his way rejoicing.

40  But Philip found himself at Azotus, and as he passed through he kept preaching the gospel to all the cities until he came to Caesarea.

Another Amazing thing that happened here is that they wre in the dessert and behold water!!!!! God is awesome.

My point is that those who truley seek God will find Jesus

Amen JIG2!

No, I don't believe that Muslims - or non-Christians in general - automatically go to hell. The Catholicism post in Apologetics is heavy with this discussion, it's already been rehashed over and over, trust me.

You obviously don't believe in the authority of the word of God.

"...I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again."

John 3:3

"Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him." John 3 :36

BTW, that's something the devil wants you to believe.

Senerhu,

My dear brother. :il:

That is why I attached the parts from Romans.

I believe JIG2 covered that.

How was it do you suppose that Abraham came to believe by Faith on Christ?
