Q: How do I become a Christian following Jesus
Christ?
A: Jesus was precise when He discussed the
issue of salvation. He made a statement that some may consider
close-minded, but gave no apology for it whatsoever.
Christ Jesus said, “Enter through the narrow gate; for
the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to
destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the
gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and
there are few who find it” (Matt. 7:13-14).
In John 10:7, we see that Jesus Christ is the only door to
into heaven. The question is: Have you entered that door?

Intouch Ministries on how you can become a true Christian
following Jesus.
Q: Did you know that God wants you to have a loving
personal relationship with Christ Jesus?
A: Yes, Jesus wants you to have a loving
personal relationship with Him so that you too can be with God
in Heaven.
Jesus said "Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if
anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to
him and will dine with him, and he with Me. He who
overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My
throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His
throne. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says
to the churches." (Revelation 3:20-21).
In Romans 5:8 we learn that God demonstrates His own love
toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for
us.
In John 3:16-21 Jesus further informs us that; "God so
loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that
whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal
life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the
world, but that the world might be saved through Him. He who
believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has
been judged already, because he has not believed in the name
of the only begotten Son of God. This is the judgment, that
the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness
rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil. For everyone
who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light
for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But he who practices
the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be
manifested as having been wrought in God."
So Jesus Christ wants a loving personal relationship with
you and is waiting on you to want a loving personal
relationship with Him too. For what are you wating on in your
choice to have a loving personal relationship with Christ
Jesus?

Q: How do I get to know God? What does it take to
have a personal relationship with God?
A: Wait for lightning to strike? Devote
yourself to unselfish religious deeds? Become a better person
so that God will accept you? NONE of these. God has made it
very clear in the Bible how we can know Him. This will explain
how you can personally begin a relationship with God, right
now...

Q: Is there a God?
A: Consider this; if a person opposes even
the possibility of there being a God, then any evidence can be
rationalized or explained away. It's as if someone refuses to
believe that people have walked on the moon, then no amount of
information is going to change their thinking. All the
evidence of photographs of astronauts walking on the moon,
interviews with astronauts, moon rocks, etc. would all be
worthless because the person has already concluded that people
cannot go to the moon.
The link below is an attempt to candidly offer just a few
of the reasons which suggest that God exists. The Bible says
that there are people who have seen sufficent evidence, but
they have suppressed the truth about God.(Romans 1:19-21) The
Bible also says that for those who want to know truly if God
is there that, "You will seek me and find me; when you seek me
with all your heart, I will be found by you." (Jeremiah
29:13-14)
Before you open the link below to look at the facts
surrounding God's existence, ask yourself, "If God does exist,
would I want to konw Him?"

straight-forward reasons to believe that God is really there.

Q: Is there any evidence for the Resurrection of
Jesus?
A: The question is this: Which theory
about what really happened in Jerusalem on that first Easter
Sunday can account for the data? There are five possible
theories: Christianity, hallucination, myth, conspiracy and
swoon. Read about each at the link below and make your choice
of what you want to believe.

Q: You want a short history of the
Bible?
A: The Holy Bible is a
world best seller and no other book has ever out sold it. It
is the bloodiest book in all history with many of its writers
death resulting from their work on it and forfiting their
lives for their believes in it. The Holy Bible is also the
most precious book on earth giving to us in its New Testament
the good news of Jesus Christ who with His blood, freely paid
the price for your and my sins so that if only we place our
faith in Him, that we will be saved from our sins for ever and
ever.
The New Testament Chruch has a short history of
the bible to help you understand more about it, click here to
read it.
Q: So you have questions about the Holy
Bible?
A: You have questions
like; What does it mean that the Bible is "infallible" and
"inerrant?" Can I get to Heaven without accepting Jesus Christ
as my Lord and Savior? Why is Mohammed a false prophet? What
is wrong with Islam? and What's with the Dead Sea Scrolls?
The people at "Bible Query" have these and
many more answers for you to learn about by your clicking
here.
Q: Is the New Testament True?
A: The New Testament has
stronger manuscript support than any other classical
literature from Homer, Plato, Aristotle, Caesar and Tacitus.
Presently more than 5,000 copies of Greek manuscripts of the
New Testament are in existence and around 20,000 more
translations in languages like Latin, Coptic, and Syriac.
Originally written in Greek, the earliest manuscript fragments
can be traced back to within one hundred years after Christ’s
death and resurrection. With accumulation of fragments within
two centuries of Christ’s death and resurrection, there are
enough one can piece most of the New Testament together from
them. In contrast, there are only seven manuscript copies of
Plato’s Dialogues with a 1,300 year gap between the earliest
8th century A.D. copy and the original
5th century B.C. copy. Faring better than Plato but
still far behind the New Testament, homer’s Iliad has only 650
copies with a 1,000 year gap between the earliest
2nd century A.D. copy and the 8th
century B.C. original. The New Testament is by far the
stronger supported manuscript of any classical
literature.

Q: More questions on the New
Testament?
A: So you have questions like; Why if
Jesus is the only way to Heaven did God wait so long to send
him? Who killed Jesus? When and how did our date system for
year start by Jesus' birth? Other than the New Testament, is
there other documentation that tells of Jesus being a
savior who died for our sins and rose from the dead?
and Did Jesus really say that he was God? Well, the link below
will get you started on finding the answers to these and many
more questions.
"Bible Query" has the answers to these and many
more for you to learn about and all you need to do is click

Q: I've heard that there's a number of errors in
the bible... what about that?
A: There are a number of typo type of
errors, some spelling errors along with some statement
transpositions like, "Jesus Christ" and "Christ Jesus" within
the Holy Bible however, there are no "errors" with the message
that the Holy Bible gives in neither the Old Testament nor in
the New Testament.

D. Ehrman’s book; Misquoting Jesus: The Story Behind Who
Changed the Bible and Why by Daniel B. Wallace , Th.M.,

is infallible and inerrant.
Q: Have a lot of questions about God you want
answered?
A: Here's a list of questions and answers
for you which will give you a host of reading pointing you to
the truth about God.
"Answers in Genisis" has put together a great
list of questions with answers about God for you to learn from
to know the truth.
Q: Now you have a lot of questions
about Jesus needed answered?
A: This list of questions with
answers will give you the understanding you need to learn
the truth of Jesus' love for you.
"Answers in Genisis" again has the questions
with answers to give you the truth you are looking for about
Jesus our savior.
Q: Is there an "unpardonable
sin"?
A: Today here is no unpardonable sin as
Romans 10:13 tells us that "Whoever calls upon the name of the
Lord will be saved" however there was unpardonable sin as told
in Matthew 12:22-32 when the Pharisees seeing Jesus'
miracle of healing a blind man who could not speak and was
demon-possessed accused Jesus' doing this coming from
Satan's power rather than the true power of the Holy
Sprit. The Pharisees did not credit God for the miracle Jesus
performed even when they had personally experienced it first
hand. Thus with their denial, they had committed the
unpardonable sin.
There does exist today an "unpardonable state" which is a
continued unbelief in the Lord Jesus Christ. To a person
who dies in unbelief or rebut of Jesus Christ, there is no
pardon of sin due to the person's hardend heart. Hardening of
one's heart comes over time when a person continually ignores
the conviction of sin that the Holy Spirit places upon a
person for the sin he or she does. The person who constantly
ignores conviction of the sins he or she commits is in an
unpardonable state and if that person dies without placement
of faithin Jesus Christ, that person after death cannot
be redeemed.
Good news is that if you have not taken Jesus Christ as
your savior, you can do so right now without haste. Pray the
simple prayer found on the Contact Us page on this website and
receive salvation by your faith in Jesus Christ.

sin" click here to go to the In Touch Ministries with Dr.
