Gospel Saves?
If Christianity is true, why did God put such importance in believing that Jesus was the Son of God? What is so important about the story of Jesus besides the fact that the story itself says it saves us? Does the belief in the story save us, or is the story telling us how we were / are saved? What is the "philosophy" behind making ones salvation dependant upon believing a story or not?

That's a good question. Either Jesus saved us or he didn't (assuming he existed). Why all the need for an acknowledgement? I mean, Jonas Salk never claimed that his vaccine would prevent polio only if you believed he was the greatest scientist in the world.

Hi Jarlaxle,
Your original thread with this title was moved <a href="http://iidb.org/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=45&t=000955" target="_blank">here</a>. The moderators decided it wasn't appropriate for the "Existence of God" forum. -Perchance. |
