Firstly, I'm Christian, but I refuse to take sides or be biased. There's a widely-promulgated doctrine that once you become a Christian, you're "safe" and can never go to hell. Thing about lies is that they'll turn up inconsistencies. The Truth, no matter how you bend it, will always return to an upright position. There is eternal security, yes, and no one can "snatch them out of " Jesus' hands, yes. But we have free will, and so we can WALK AWAY of our own choice. God won't stop anyone from walking away from Him. Moreover, the epistles in the Bible were written ONLY to Christians. If Christians couldn't go to hell, why would the writers stress for them not to live in sin and tell them continually that no one who habitually lies, steals, murders, gossips,etc. will ever get into Heaven. Did the authors write all this simply for the sake of wristlock while dipping quill in ink? Of course not. Some plan to use ignorance as their ace, but igorance was never really bliss.
