I live in India and was raised Hindu. I visited America about four years ago and someone told me that I would go to Hell if I didn't believe this story he was about to tell me.
He made me scared, so I listened. He told me about Jesus and the Bible. I had never heard of the things he spoke of, but I held them close to my heart.
I kept up correspondence with him and for four years, I have prayed, read the Bible three times, even fasted and prayed for the Holy Spirit and listened for God.
But, honestly, the whole thing just doesn't feel right. All thosew stories from the Bible are just legends, much like our own ancient myths in India.
Why would God expect me to believe this one is a true account? Honestly, I feel no reason at all in my intellect, or in my heart to believe these familiar myths.
This religion seems silly to me and my friends, yet my American friends say I will go to Hell?
None of this seems right at all. You must believe something unbelievable to go to heaven?
