There are hundreds of millions, if not more, of people around the world who will Never, Ever discover Jesus or the Christian faith, and yet STILL be sentenced to eternal torment for not believing in something they've never even heard of according to Christians. WTF? HOW CAN PEOPLE JUSTIFY THAT???
I got off the phone with a family friend yesterday and it turns out that she thinks Christianity (Heaven, Hell, Bible) is bullshit too. I brought this up and she actually AGREED with me.
What in the bible makes you think only Christians get to go to heaven? Aside from christianity I can count two unnamed forms of worship, a general deism, and millions of others who practice a religion polar opposite than christianity. Not to mention individuals who worship the majority of their lives the false gods of egypt
Most of you 'good people' have heard the verse that has Jesus say "no man enters heaven but by me/jesus" Meaning Jesus and Jesus alone decides who is and is not saved. which means the acts/traditional beliefs creeds ceremonies nor chants or declarations of religion/the church are not what puts us in heaven. Christ Himself said it is he and he alone that judges and decides who is and is not going to heaven via a final judgement.
Those of you who do not want the easy way to heave will indeed be judged by the law as God has put it on your heart. While Christianity is the easy way it can also be easy to think you are saved and be much worse off than someone that you describe.
Again it is all on Christ to make that final judgement. He will rightfully divide us into paper thin slices and discern every thought intention and deed and judge them by the personal exposure and understanding you have/or have the ability to understand.
Meaning if you know about Jesus and atonement then you are responsible for why you did or did not act on his offer. if you did not know of his offer then you are judged by what you do know and understand.
