Not alone no. We all are. Christ said himself that those that try best to follow his words/teachings and accept him and/or God in their heart, since they’re the same, will be welcomed in his father’s Heavenly kingdom.
So I’m pretty much under the impression that All People that have faith in God, unless practicing malice and evil will be welcomed into Heaven when this Earthly body stops working.
Since Christ also traveled and studied other religions before returning to Israel, I additionally assume other peaceful multi and mono-theistic religious peoples, minus Satanists or the sadistic cults, will be welcomed into Heaven.
No it can't be it because I actually read the script and know Jesus.
Why would a being that knows everything about everything have to study and learn about man made religion?
That Being would exist before the creation of said religion.
Common sense. How did you miss it?
😂 Ok kiddo. Jesus read nothing in his life but the Hebrew scriptures 😂 Never bothered learning ANYTHING else in his life. Just popped out of Mary and said “Let’s start a business!”
And don’t even get me started on the obvious figurative reading of the story your head would clearly explode.
What was Jesus doing for 20 silent years? Go on, disprove he wasn’t traveling the Middle East and Asia. And why is Ethiopia thee only Christian Country that became Christian/Jewish on their own before and without the Apostles or Rome visiting?
How did they know of Christ almost as soon as he was gone?
Why are the Ge’ez scriptures and Bible older than most known scripture outside the Vatican and Dead Sea Scrolls?
He was hanging out with the elders at the temple. Working as a carpenter with his dad.
Taking care of his mom and siblings.. Jesus had chores. Jesus was keeping the Law.
He made Buddha. What buddha gonna tell Jesus? Buddha gonna STFU and bow down. That's what he gonna do.,(Samuel L Jackson voice).
If it doesn't make cents it won't make dollars.
You are a fraud because you ain't read nary one of those scripts you make a big deal about.
You're just Jesus hating all over yourself.
Jesus Lives.
Buddha is dead him and the lily pad it came in on.
Others are too polite to tell you. SOULS are precious to GOD so I gotta tell you.
Excuse you, I do my research Anon. No need to be rude, but it’s true you don’t know what he was doing for 20 years. We factually have apocryphal texts and then scrolls out of both Ethiopia and across south-west Asia, as far as Nepal stating what Christ was doing, but not much from Israel. And the Vatican won’t release info neither. Why? Because it would destroy their religious narrative strangle hold that Christ was studying the other people within 20yr walking or riding distance, and rising religions that would soon spread across the world.
Now again besides your unfounded getting personal attack, tell me with facts where he was and what exactly you are for sure knowing Christ of all divine people, was doing for 20+ years before coming out of Egypt to Israel/Palestine? I assume you rode the donkey with him and scribed all he did like all the other (non-existant for sure 100% fact) clarifying info?
Again, I’ll wait since all we have are scrolls of possible info/here-say, that did not come out of Israel, because they have no clear clue.
Just so we’re clear on facts I’ve laid for study; Ethiopia’s scrolls kinda do tell though and I’d believe them waaaaaaay before you sir. Unless you can come up with and prove their older or old as Dead Sea Scrolls, wrong. 😉 With actual facts please.
Depends on what you consider scripture. Is it only what the Catholic church allowed in their collection we call the Bible? Or is your mind bigger than that?
OK let me ask my question in another way: Could you please give me the Biblical source, book, chapter and verse for your belief that Christ "studied other religions"? I'll read everything and anything you send my way and carefully consider it.
I am aware that Christ spent time in Egypt in his early years: Matthew 2:13 - "Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Arise, take the young Child and His mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I bring you word; for Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.”
What was Jesus doing for 20 silent years? Go on, disprove he wasn’t traveling the Middle East and Asia. And why is Ethiopia thee only Christian Country that became Christian/Jewish on their own before and without the Apostles or Rome visiting?

I can share if interested or this you don’t know. Even though self research is better for the mind. 😉
I have no idea what Jesus was doing for 20 silent year? But you seem to. I do believe the scriptures are silent in that regard.
Ge'ez scriptures? Scriptures? Sorry not familiar with them. Is that where you are finding references to Jesus studying eastern religions? BTW Christianity is an eastern religion.
As far as Ethiopia becoming a Christian country (on their own) have you ever heard of the conversion of the Ethiopian Eunuch/Minister of Finance? Acts Chapter 8 - witnessed to by Philip. What do you think the Ethiopian Minister of Finance did upon his return to Ethiopian?
In Western Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox traditions the belief is that you fight evil and resist temptation on a daily basis. That is what monastic monks and nuns do on a daily basis through prayer and that is their struggle and fight they undertake. And the sacrifices they make to be monks and nuns.
In Apostolic Christian churches we strive to do the same thing. It's not only a western RC and/or Eastern Orthodox tradition. It's what the scripture demands of us!

Why would Jesus be interested in man's foolish religions.when Jesus is the Way the Truth and the Life... That makes no sense.
Perhaps your understanding of what the scripture really means when it says that is misguided.
No…no that can’t be it ;)

Please define what you mean by "scripture"? What's your favorite Bible translation?

Where in scripture does it say that Christ "studied other religions"? I think scripture is silent on that subject.

Very true as well.
LOL - Did they have "Elder" on their name badges? Did you ask them who describe the Jesus that they worship?
So have I! Not to mention the biblical definition of "Elder" is an "aged person".
