I am only wondering what Bible-believing Christians have to say about this - no offense to athiests, etc.

If Jesus died for everyone, and salvation is entirely of God, does it logically follow that anyone could possibly go to hell under any circumstances?
If you say, "But you have to accept Jesus," then salvation is not entirely from God, it is from cooperation between God and man... and if this is the case, why does one person accept Him and another not accept? Again, that goes back to all God, or else you have to say 'man,' and then salvation is not only of God again.

It seems that you can only say, "Jesus didn't die for everyone," "everyone is saved/no one goes to hell," or "salvation is not ONLY of the Lord." Which do you choose? Can you think of a fourth option?

I have just read several of the responses to other questions and I see a recurring theme among some praticipants. Such as the following "Say it with me....REPORTED.....A$$-hole!" by Mr. US of. I used to be a christian and it was exactly this kind of hipocrsy and mean spirited attitude among believers that led me to seek out other answers and now has me as an atheist.
If you are truly trying to be like Jesus then I suggest you try acting more like him. Jesus didn't come to condem the world but to save it.
I have many friends who are still born again christians and although I disagree with them they don't condem me and neither do I condem them.
Take the plank out of your own eye before you start looking for the splinter in someone else's eye.
See the atheist knows more about it than the people who are supposedly living their faith.

Even though the basis of Christianity is animal sacrifice. Even though our God doesn't seem to like blood offerings anymore, isn't the fact that he's a blood offering kind of God run contrary to kindness to animals?

Maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should
Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could
Little things I should have said and done
I never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I'm so happy that you're mine
If I made you feel second best
I'm so sorry I was blind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Tell me
Tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me
One more chance to keep you satisfied
Satisfied

If God, then Jesus Christ is not God but a prophet.

If himself, then he is truly not God.

You can take this question however you want, but I just mean that so many argue about things that they obviously know nothing about.

To be is a Christian is to be not only a believer but a follower of the teaching of Jesus. Jesus implored his followers over and over to follow the golden rule, turn the other cheek, love they neighbor, abandon an eye for an eye, see peacemakers as blessed and to help the poor.

Don't tell me Christians aren't perfect - I don't expect them to be. But if you don't believe in the basic teaching of Jesus - how could you possibly be considered a Christian?

Is it something that our ancestors made up a long time ago to give people answers to diffucult questions, such as Why am I alive? And why does everyone die?

Because if people could not write thousands of years ago, then the story of the bible must have been passed along by word of mouth. And we all know what stories (ie. the game telephone) will change the more it is passed on. So by the time someone actually writes thier version down, dont you think these stories would have changed drastically?

Or is it just because it doesn't agree with their story book? Or are they just too ignorant to find out for themselves to they just listen to the guy in church? And don't say there is no proof as there is I've put it all nicely on my website http://www.saynotojesus.tk
Oh and if you are going to call it a theory remember you believe in the creation STORY meaning it is even less likely to contain any truth.

In it, we where in a computer class we had shared, and he was extremely red in the face and was sweating horribly.(hair was matted etc) in it I went up to him and told him people were saying that he was dead. And then he simply looked at me and told me "don't believe everything you hear"

Thoughts?
