Question
I am confused about something. Say I was a Muslim, or any other religeon for that matter, would Jesus just think I was mistaken and reserve His judgement until I was dead, or would He just ignore me as a non-believer who was damned to hell anyway? This is an important issue for me even though I am a Christian.

Dear Geoff, Child of God,

Thank you for contacting us for intuitive/spiritual insight into your questions.

Concerning your question regarding God's judgment, while no one can know exactly what God will do or how He will judge anyone, as that is His province and prerogative exclusively, God does teach those who are capable of understanding, the difference. Scripture has been very exact in stating that there is but ONE (1) God. God The Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit -- all ONE in The Holy Trinity. That is the TRUE God. And one must also consider that it was Jesus who was crucified, who died and was buried and who *resurrected* on the third day and appeared among His people for forty days. Can any other "god" or prophet make that claim? *That* should tell all others WHO the true God is!

The fact that others choose to align with other religions or beliefs is due to their own Free Will choosing. They are given free will by God but just as a person can be given the choice to steal or to obey the law, there are nevertheless consequences for not following God's (spiritual) law. God, however, is very merciful and accepts anyone up until the very moment they take their last breath providing they have become Born Again and have given their life to His Son Jesus Christ. But again, whomever God saves is ultimately His decision and one we shall perhaps never know. There are many factors that come into play here. God has created many universal and/or spiritual laws. When man breaks any one of those laws there are invariably consequences that he must face. Rejection of His One and Only Son Jesus Christ (because you are either WITH Him or you are against Him) carries grave consequences. The Holy Bible is very explicit in this matter saying "Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein." -- MARK 10:15 (KJV). A little child is an innocent, so it is that unless one cleanses his heart and soul from his or her past sins, they cannot enter into God's kingdom for He has said that.

Also, a rich man, unless he takes up the cross and walks with Jesus, cannot enter the kingdom of Heaven according to Scripture. Very important also is the following Scripture that speaks to how one CAN obtain the Kingdom of Heaven. "Jesus answered, Verily verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." -- JOHN 3:5 (KJV). So, that quite plainly tells you the ways that you CAN enter into the kingdom of God and avoid being damned to hell. Become baptized by water AND by The Holy Spirit! Truly, it does not matter to God whether one has been of another religion as long as they repent of their sins and give their life to Jesus Christ by becoming Born Again, according to Scripture. *That* is how they obtain the kingdom of God! It has been said that every person is judged by their actions, therefore, if their actions do not lead them directly to Jesus, there is most assuredly a judgment on that. "Jesus saith to him, I Am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man cometh unto the Father but by Me." -- JOHN 14:6 (KJV). Those are the words of Jesus Christ reminding ANYONE that without coming through Him, they cannot enter Heaven and be with God.

The following Scripture addresses ALL non-believers (of ALL faiths): "He that believeth on Him is not condemned, but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." -- JOHN 3:18 (KJV)

Even a non-believer can become a believer at some point in time and Save Their Soul! If they, however, choose to remain a non-believer, then why on earth would they want to be in God's kingdom anyway! They would not, as God would have no meaning for them so they could feel more comfortable being in a place totally devoid of God's Light and His Love and mercy, for Eternity.

Thank you for your question, Geoff. May God Bless You Always and may you be surrounded by His Eternal Love and Omniscient Light!

Please let me know if you would like to become BORN AGAIN, if  you are not already, and I can send you a most special prayer to help you! Thank you very much for the opportunity to serve Jesus through you! We always praise and honor His most holy name!

In Service to Jesus Christ,
