Matthew 7:7-8 New International Version (NIV) 7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
None of that says that those who seek the truth shall receive salvation through the Blood of the Lamb.

Don't forget the blood Lek, link the blood as well (mercy me we can't have a right proper christian soiree without the blood).
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Romans 5:9New International Version (NIV) 9 Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him!

There are many consequences of sin, such as suffering on earth and physical death. I've wondered about Jesus not suffering for eternity myself. It strikes me as maybe another reason to believe that hell is not eternal. Of course, we don't know everything Jesus went through.
If Jesus went through anything at all it wasn't of consequence since the world is just as screwed up, if not more, than it was during his supposedly lifetime.

It always will be. Jesus said that his kingdom is not of this world.

Thank you Lek, I'm so glad I can count on you. There were better verses imo, dozens of them, really. God is quite fond of blood - as you well know. Nevertheless, you're a solid guy for being so accommodating.

That doesn't address those who've never heard of Jesus and yet still seek the truth. You're dodging the point.
Be honest, or lose credibility. Answer my point.

No problem Rhythm. You're okay yourself.
