Question #1
If I were to die tonight, I know that I would go to heaven. I know that there is nothing to fear in death, only a new adventure. It's through not only my faith in God, but my faith in His son. I accept that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Saviour, that he died for me so that I could be clean. I have made many mistakes in my life, but I know that when God looks at me, it is not these things he sees. He sees Himself in me, and me in Him.
Question #2
I want to begin this by saying it may be longer than 200 words, I am not entering to win, only entering because I want to answer the question. With that said.. my answer is..
As a Christ Follower, it is for us to understand that God is truth, not a religion. Because of this even in our tolerance we are unbudging in our systems. We cannot be swayed no matter how sympathetic a listener we are. Being a brutally honest person all my life, I have come to understand that when the majority of people ask something, it is not because they want the truth. It's because they want what works for them. Christianity, TRUE Chistianity, cannot be molded to please anyone's convinence. Because it is not about us, it's about God. Which causes us to be stereotyped and criticised. As many people who were not Christians lead crusades and killed thousands. It is those who claim to do it in the name of our Lord who they remember because He is the one who does not change or conform to the times and will of them. What sets us apart is that so many others believe we are all right, while Christians know only one can be.
