Sad thought about Jesus.

[athrock]

Dear friends,

I have had a sad thought about my savior today.

I realize He is the word, He is the truth (Not Muhammad! Got it?!?!)

That being said, I realized he is much different from most of the Gods of history.

Take the Greek/Roman Gods for example. They weren't nice entities. But unlike Jesus, they doled out one's lot in the afterlife based upon their conduct on earth. Zeus never sent anyone to Hades for not believing in him. Jesus will do just that.

There doesn't seem to be "justice" in terms of Hell. Its basically, no matter what everyone deserves to be burned in tortured forever. It's just certain people with magic coupons (Christians) can escape that fate.

I realized... Jesus is the ONLY God who operates in this fashion.Not Thor, Not Shiva, Not Quezalcoatl. Only Jesus

It seems Jesus will barely take pity on those who died in the holocaust. As terrible as their suffering was in Aushwitz, it would be nothing compared to their suffering for rejecting Jesus. The Christian camp guards on the other hand... will be a-ok, as long as they believed in Jesus

I am so depressed.. it almost makes me think you dark creatures have at least a point, though I will talk and pray about this issue with my pastor.

No offense, TrueChristian, but is that what Christians really believe?

Fundies maybe.

But MOST Christians believe that people are held accountable for what they know of God and not for what they do not know. And this means "know" at a deep, fundamental level...not merely having some passing acquaintance with the story of Jesus or having said the "Sinner's Prayer". Your God may be more loving and merciful than you seem to think.

Consider that your scriptures say that those to whom more has been given, more is expected. So, it may be that some "Bible Christians" who did little to respond to the gospel find themselves on the outside looking in at the skeptics who were pleasing to God because of how fully they lived their lives based upon what they knew.
