Hello everyone

[JosephsDreams]

We all struggle with sin. Arab, Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, etc.
That does not negate what Jesus did on the cross for us, and who He is.
In fact it supports our need for him.
Christianity is the only religion in the world that I know of where God Himself sacrificed Himself in a brutal death for our sins.
If that doesn't at least give one pause to at least consider and do even a casual study of Christianity, I don't know what will.

Peace to all men everywhere.
May we be respectful of each other in conversation, and confirm each persons right to worship as they will.
Violence is not the answer.

Hello, I am a Christian living in America. My heritage is Arabic. My Grandfather grew up in Syria. I do not speak Arabic and have been raised a Christian my whole life. I am a Christian but I do not believe that you have to believe in Jesus to be saved. I believe that we have to believe in God. I do believe in Jesus, but I don't believe that Jesus is the only way to salvation. So I don't try to convert people of the Jewish faith, or other religions. There is a book called "One River, Many Wells" written by a excommunicated Catholic Priest, Matthew Fox. He says God is the river flowing underground, and the Wells all over the world are the way different religions all reach for God. We may come from different places and backgrounds but most people are searching for understanding of God in their lives. I wish you peace and God's blessings.

Yes, i also had in mind YB's verse to reply to ur post. I have not seen the book nor have much chance of reading much/long things now but we grew up catholic, and i still recall beautidul songs in church like 'One God', others w/ lyrics that refer to there being many ways to God... but God has set how people are to come to Him-- in spirit and truth, so read and explore ur Bible, pray for understanding, and love and serve the Lord God the best u can. God bless.
