Re: The Question No One Can Answer
Only religion allows one to "know" something just by being told that you must "know" it, or else.

It's not merely religion, Jesus Himself said he who believes and is baptized shall be saved, he who does not believe will be condemned.

Are you really going to say that's not a religion?

Anyway, yeah, that was my point.
So, the only reason you know what happens when you die is that you are told to believe it. Is that correct?

There are hundreds of religions in the world, present and past. My point was that it's more than just a religion telling you when Jesus says it. IMO, religion is something man created. I presented a quote from Jesus, whom most spirit-filled christians base their faith on.

Well, I haven't died and been resurrected.
We walk by faith and not by sight. I believe in the resurrection and judgement because that's what Jesus, and the Bible, taught.

I think many of us have had a strong experience with God that leads us to believe there is something after death. It doesn't prove it, however.

Nor do other religions' experiences prove their beliefs.

Yes, I agree with that as well. However, I believe it points to a God. That is my belief.
