What if you had born into another religion?

Very true!

Revelation 2/7 “7 “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.” King James Version (KJV)

I thank God I was brought into the Fullness of Truth from the get go even if I didn’t realize it till I was 40.

I really can’t say what I would be or remain to be if I was born into another Religion but I would say any religion that uses the Bible and state that Jesus didnt die on the Cross for the atonement of the Human Race, really should do some serious soul searching.

Revelation 2:9 "To the angel of the church in Smyrna write: These are the words of him who is the** First and the Last**, who died and came to life again. I know your afflictions and your poverty–yet you are rich! I know about the** slander of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan**.

Revelation 2: 10 Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution for ten days. Be faithful, even to the point of death, and **I will give you life as your victor’s crown.

Hi All,

If we had been born into another religion, we would likely now be in that religion. i.e. if this forum was based in Pakistan and we were born to muslim families, we would likely follow Islam.

Would you be destined to hell if born into the “wrong” faith, or do different rules apply?

If you are born a Christian and later come to doubt it, would this mean you would burn in hell? Is it therefore greater burden to be born a Christian that in another faith?

Does this prove that religion is a product of our environment and is culturally determined?

If we were born into atheist families, and there are plenty of these here in the UK, we may not even believe in God at all. What chance of heaven do the 90% of UK people get who dont attend church or a mosque. Or do they get into heaven simply for living a good life.

It does not add up to me. Or am I misunderstanding? thanks

I was born and raised in another religion, Mormonism. Variously, I’m judged by my former religion as either an apostate who will spend eternity in outer darkness, or more kindly as slotted to a lower heaven.

I don’t worry about what others think, I’m more concerned with where God wants me to be. God judges each as an individual, including those who leave Christianity. Technically speaking, an apostate of the RCC risks their soul, but only God will judge their intent and heart. That being said, I advise being careful in discerning where God wants you to be. Prayer, study, ask questions, discern.

For those who are given much, much more will be asked.

There is no such thing as people born into a lucky situation. You are born, and then you can either choose God or not choose God. You are presented with water and fire; reach out your hand and take one.
