Ice-T,
It states in the Bible, that God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to the knowledge of salvation. While God, can make anything happen that He wants to happen, there are exceptions. He will not force us to love Him. He really wants to be loved and appreciated by us. Love, must always be a choice, and it must be based on appreciation. Until we come to know Him, we cannot appreciate Him. Jesus, came to this world, to bring us a message. It was simple and elegant. "The Kingdom of God, is within you". When we come to God as humble children, and invite Him into our lives, He places His Spirit within us, and bonds with us. We become new creatures, part mortal, part Immortal. The old values of materialism and fear fall away. Love and Wisdom, become the foundation of all our choices. We enter the Path of Eternity, and we will never be the same again. Although it is God's most sincere wish, that we seek and find Him as our Father, He will not force us. I want to believe that God, will find a way, to give all of us a fair chance to make the right decision. He can do anything He wants to. I think He doesn't want to lose any of us. Let us pray, that we make the right choice.

Only on a metaphorical level. Jesus is associated with a (mostly) tolerant and mutually benevolent philosophy which was relatively novel at the time it was first introduced. The more people become committed to such noble ideals and dedicate themselves to compassionate action, the more of mankind will be 'saved' from hunger, oppression, loneliness and all the other evils we create for one another. We could do it without the fairy tale just as easily, but a catchy brand name does get more attention.

Well, there are some conditions to being saved. First, you must admit that you're a sinner, and repent (well, first you must believe that Jesus Christ is your savior). Then you must at least try to follow in the ways of Christ (the Ten Commandments is a good place to start - Exodus chapter 20). If, in the end, you have truly become a Christian (even people who have been the worst of people for the first 80 years of their life can be saved), then you will go to heaven.

The Soul of Jesus was made form the Body of the Creator as was every bodies and everything before the creation of the physical world.
Jesus was needed to fill the role of our savior because the Angel that was to be this Planets Guardian Angel(ST. Lucifer) got a swelled head and thought he could run heaven and creation better than the Creator could. and lead a rebellion with other angels and lost . now confined to an island surrounded by a sea of glass to await the day of Judgment.
so it is not God we worship but the Creator. even though Christians use the names interchangeably. It is the same Entity.

For God so Loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 We worship God the father and Jesus his son.
Also take a look at John 3:17, "For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him."
I hope this helps. Please contact me if you have any questions or just want to talk.

Jesus will save anyone who believes in him. We worship God because Jesus, God & the Holy Spirit are one person in 3 forms.
P.S. Ask a local pastor about the trinity for a more detailed answer.

No, it is not true. God will not save all of mankind. He will only save those that believe Jesus Christ is the son of God and our Lord & Savior. Look in the Bible, John 3:16.

My belief: Yes; but no one knows when or on what time scale. Eventhough symbolically Jesus is the " Son of God", in spirit they both refer to the same entity because Jesus happens to be the incarnation of God (God is spirit and no one can see Him with mortal eyes). Worshipping Jesus is the same as worshipping God and worshipping God is also worshipping Jesus.

Jesus gave his life for us, however, we need to take the next step and give our lives over to him and turn away from the bad and start living by the Gods rules. Exodus 20 gives us the Ten Commandments and that's a good place to start to see what God expects of us. After that read the book of Matthew.

You can look it up in the bible but to paraphrase. Christ died on the cross for the sins of mankind, because the price of sin is blood. If you believe in Jesus, accept him as your saviour and confess this with your mouth believing in your heart then your sins are forgiven and he is your saviour.
Jesus was sent as the Son of God, and thus we worship God as the creator and Lord.
