Where do these numbers come from?
For the record, they do not represent my beliefs regarding souls going to Heaven vs Hell.
The given ratio that for instance if christianity is the on true religion and all other are doomed to hell.
1. It's such a small percentage because only 1 sect would be closer to the original interpretation of gods word.
2. All non christians or the ones that never heard about him add them into going to hell as well.
3. Even if you give your life over to jesus the choice already has been made - reason behind it
god of the bible is pre-deterministic and if you were to do something that isn't planned for you to do
like the fact god messed with the pharaohs free will in letting gods people go.
Those numbers are all assuming you actually believe that that's how it works and that everyone who is not a Christian is automatically going to Hell no matter what.
....Which I definitely do not. Your point #3 isn't even something I've ever heard of.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
