My children are made to do religious education at school, they are both very switched and know none of it is true. What a waste when they could be doing extra mathematics or geography that would actually help toward better prospects for their future.
Edit, I do however appreciate other people have beliefs and religions.
My role model will always be my mum!!!

Stand tall in the face of adversity and don't let the *******s get you down,
Some one to rely on until the very bitter end, and will always stand by his friends. What I aspire to do in my life.

DOH!
Not so much a role model but someone I admired for being the best at what he did and just quietly went about his business . . . Joey Dunlop.
Could still get on a bike and win up until the time of his death, at an age when many a man would have hung his leathers up, flying in the face of major corporations like HRC, being a factory rider for them yet making them ship the bikes over to him so he could do the spanner work himself cos he just knew best, and quietly loading his trucks up with relief gear and driving it himself halfway across Europe to help those in need.
Oh, and Jeremy Clarkson . . . Although I have been living in a cave for the last six months, he hasn't done anything I have missed has he.

Yes, you're right of course, Swati. I was reminded of Luke 18:15-17

Cats sneak in to join Hujj after eating 900 mice alive, so will I; one day. I should stay optimistic, really. What do you think?
Please don't tell me to have a dip into Ganges to wash away my sins. I don't want to make the holy waters dirty with my sins.

The kingdom of God may not let me in, for I am just a regular adult full of all the sins that you could name. I hardly received anything like a little child, but I did render like a child, if that counts? Also, if that butter thief, rascal of a kid called Krishna can call himself an Almighty God, I think I may have a chance to just about sneak in there.

<P.S.- Sorry I thought you were James, Hodgy. I didn't pay much attention to my half cut screen on my wee iPhone, and you did actually sound like James with your contents >
Or, does it definitely have to be Jesus? I don't mind if Jesus is any cool-er than Buddha.
By the way, I am also not liking this blackmail that in order to enter His kingdom, I have to let one of his side kicks in to my life. Why? That really is not fair.
Also, I don't think just by letting Jesus or even Buddha in to my life would guarantee anything unless I change my deeds that make up my life. You may advise me to just let Jesus in, and rest will change automatically. I'm not so sure; knowing me. Magic will happen when I change my deeds, not just with me merely letting him in for his Father's name's sake.
Now you may argue that actually my deeds aren't changing because I'm keeping Jesus at my arm's length. Well, may be that's what it is.
What do you mean by some are sinners saved? Do you mean- "....it's just that some sinners are saved"? If latter, then I would also like to believe that, James. As long as they can eventually unmess the mess they made, they should certainly be saved.
If you meant former, then please explain what you meant by that. In my humble opinion, there's no way anyone could be sinners saved. Everyone has been affected by the sinners at some point in their life. I will exclude God from that 'everyone'- obviously.

I don't believe that Christ is one of God's sidekicks, I believe that Jesus is God incarnate. If you don't want to let Him in to your life then that's up to you. I didn't have a choice in the matter.
I believe that you are justified by faith in Jesus Christ and by faith alone. One then needs to strive to not knowingly sin and demonstrate one's faith and regeneration through works. All of this is granted by God's grace.
I believe that's a certainty.
Sin can't be undone by the sinner, but can be forgiven by the Lord if the sinner is elected to receive His grace. Not everyone is elected.

As above, if one is baptised in the Holy Spirit they are saved and will enter the Kingdom of God.
