KELANGAN ba talaga ang RELIHIYON para MALIGTAS ka?

[butterflykisses]

or pede bang basta you do good deeds ok na un? as in, pag namatay ka mapupunta ka pa rin sa langit kahit wala kang relihiyon?

religion is not necessary. religion is only based on what kind of faith you believe in. and from that faith we do whatever that faith thinks is right. there are different beliefs for every religion like with INK, u cant eat blood and if u do that, wouldnt u be saved?

so which is which to believe?

i also believe that the most important thing is to be good in everything. as long as you don't step on other toes and as long as u dont hurt anyone, ure safe.

now, everyone has different points of view. if u think ure not hurting someone else cause ure not doing anything to that certain person. think further. some people are mad at you even you don't talk to them or you don't do anything bad to that person. some people are mad just because you are who you are.

they may be jealous or you may be somehow do some things that reflects to their ugliness (out and within themselves).

am i making sense?

anyway, lemme give you an example (based on my personal experience) i had a friend and she's jealous of
me because her bf confides in me and tell me all their problems. all i know is im helping them and not trying to get her bf. she didn't say it but that was what she thinking at that time. but once she said, stop being so nice, ure not perfect! whoah syempre shock ako lol.

but i read between the lines, the reason that his bf keeps on complaining about her because he sees something more likeable, it could be me being nice or could be the way i listen to his problems etc. whatever it is, I knew then how my friend is feeling. i was really sorry to be what I am to his bf and to her. the ending was i talked to his bf and asked him to avoid confiding in me if it's with regards to their problems in their relationship and he has to solve their problems. that way, my friend was ok and they were able to resolve their problems.

medyo nawala ata ako sa issue. the thing is there could also be an INDIRECT way of hurting people...and till now I dunno kung kasalanan ko bang maging mabait? or does may friend thinks na nanadya ako?

i didn'nt make any sense eh?! parang mali ata topic lol...

oh well....

let me make another point......

I Corinthians 3:9-17
Every Man's Work Shall Be Made Manifest

Paul summarizes these points in verse 16 and 17. First Paul warns of this coming destruction, of this soon coming conflagration. Then Paul asks the pointed question "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God?" The question echoes on today. Those who profess faith in Jesus; do you not know that you are the temple of God? Those who profess faith, yet do not possess faith, know ye not that our God is a consuming fire, know ye not that judgment begins at the house of God, know ye not that you are defiling the temple of God?

Then Paul concludes with what happens if you are wood or hay or stubble (false professors) when Christ returns, he says "If any man defile the temple of God (because he is illegitimate) him shall God destroy". Destroy your thoughts, deeds, or actions. No my friend destroy you, in an eternity in hell should you be something less than one who is totally trusting in Jesus Christ.

What good is faith without professing it?
This is what I always have in my mind. Ive once been devoted to Church but as I grow old, unlikely seeing different kind of people going to Church, it makes me realize that it doesn't matter if ure religious or if ur active but what matter most is how you practice your faith in your daily living.
