I have read some posts on here and some of you people amaze me. Before I start speeking truth to you all, let me say first to Blue that I have prayed for you and your family, hoping that someone, at least one person in your family will accept Jesus Christ as their personal savior through this ordeal.
The word Christian is used very loosely these days. Christian means Christ-Like. Unless you are striving to be Christ-Like, don't say you are a Christian. I'm not saying anyone here has actually called themselves Christians, but I've seen posts on praying for Blue, and one on being religious and going to heaven. If you have stated you are praying for Blue and his family, I hope you know Jesus Christ as your personal Savior. As for the post on being religious and going to heaven, let me say this, the Bible clearly states that religion does not get you to heaven...neither does works, neither does baptism...you are not saved by baptism, but by faith through Christ...it is a gift of God. I say this becuase their is a lot of false doctrines out there that do not teach, nor preach, from the Bible, but instead feeds you full of mans convoluted beliefs.
Blue, I do not know whether your mother was saved or not, I know nothing of your family. I only know that I've visited your site for about the past 5 years now, and when I heard of your mothers passing, I have prayed several times that God would show at least one person in your family the true way to Heaven...the only way to Heaven...what God himself has taught us with his word, the Bible.
Luke 19:10 For the Son of man is come to seek and save that which was lost.
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.
Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our lord.
Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is a gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
2 Corinthians 7:10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
Alot of people think they're going to Heaven when they die, but unless you're saved as the Bible proclaims salvation, then you're not going to Heaven, you're going to Hell. I have put scripture above to help any of you that might not be saved, come to know Jesus Christ as your savior. If you have a problem with the above content, take it up with God, for he's the one that has made the rules, not I. I do sincerely hope and pray that these words will affect at least one person on these boards, that they would call upon the Lord and ask him to save their soul.
