Believe they are superior over non Christians? (If you believe someone is going to hell for not accepting Christ, then you believe that you are superior). Can it be plausible that your Holy Bible are myths and folklore that men choose to believe as absolute??

What makes you so special that God has shown you the light and not me? Does God love you more? Are you part of the chosen decedents of God to spread his word? If you are the chosen decedent of God to spread his word, then do you not believe that you are superior to me? Christians, your existence contradicts your belief .

We don't think we're superior, we are merely beggars telling other beggars where to get bread.
If you were starving, and I told you where to get free food, would you rail at me for being superior, or would you go get it?
It's the same thing...the problem is, you don't think you're starving.

I am going to answer your question with a question....
If you were on an airplane that was going down and would surely crash and burn, and someone gave you the choice between taking the parachute they offered and living or refusing it and dying, is the person who accepts the parachute,( the salvation,) more 'superior'? Or maybe sure of their safety and grateful and wishing you would take the parachute and live too?
How can you ask someone to say it is plausible that what they believe is folklore or myths? Faith is being SURE of what we hope for and it is CERTAIN of what we do not see. You are asking us to doubt, and that is the opposite of faith. So, no, it is not plausible.
I was spiritually saved from a life that was on a collision course. I am not superior, I am grateful and I have absolutely no doubts about who God is and what He has done for me. Wishing that for someone else doesn't make it a bad thing. But I have learned that some people would rather crash and burn than ever admit who God is and allow Him to save them.
I hope you find your truth.

Your first premise is not correct. You imply that ALL Christians believe they are superior over ALL non Christians. This is simply not true.
You attempt to support this by claiming that if a Christian believes the natural consequence of "not accepting Christ" is "going to hell" and therefore "you are superior". "going to hell" or not, is NOT my decision to make. That rests with the one true God ONLY.
However, God clearly states that there are consequences for the decisions that we make of our own free will. Most important is the decision to open your heart to the Holy Ghost or to harden it against Him.
The decision I made to accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior has NOTHING to do with anyone else's decision to so accept or deny. It is ALL about MY eternal soul.
So, it's not really possible for me to otherwise address the first part of your "question".
As far as the second. Yes, it CAN be plausible. However, it doesn't matter at all to me and my faith in the one true God.
Further, what do you mean "as absolute"? Do you mean LITERAL? Or that it's the inspired word of God? Or what? Too vague to see where you think you're heading with this.

Hello ,my friend , you are wrong ? Going to hell or heaven are not the only passway through Christian.Believe in Christ is not a warranty to heaven. For example anyone kill someone ,he will go to hell if the killed one ,do not forgive him.Not accepting Christ will not go to hell.He does not had the power to do so.Hell is not create by him.Just ask yourself,God love all people as quote in the Bible,how can he wish to sent anyone to hell just because he does not believe in him.He refer to Christian and others that against Christian.Believe or not are all Karma.Do not said what you are not sure because it is sin and Karma said it not for free.

I do not believe that I am better than any person. I have sinned just as much as the next person - heck, I sinned 5 min. ago! But, I know that I am forgiven because I have accepted Christ into my heart. My Bible is 100% accurate and the Holy Word of God.

Absolutely false take on Christianity, bud. Christians say "all have sinned" and declare the imperfection of all people including themselves.
Is it plausible to you that perhaps spreading false information about the Christian faith will not change what they know or who they believe?
How small and insignificant you are, little liar. If not for God Himself, who would even love you?

Not superior. I know I do not deserve Jesus Christ! I deserve the death on the cross- but it is by HIS grace that he saves us- not because of anything we did... (Ephesians 2:8- You have been saved by grace, through faith, that not of yourselves so that no one should boast)
There should be no boasting at all! All the Glory belongs to God!
1 Peter 1:24
for "All flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass.The grass withers,and the flower falls.
Man should have NO glory in salvation whatsoever. It is God who saves- we dont deserve His great love- we want to share it with everyone because we want them to know of this WONDERFUL gift! I think someone who acts superior would go around acting as if they are the only one going to heaven- that is self righteousness- they dont care about others eternal salvation- and that is not right. God tells us as christians to share his gospel and to be "fishers of men" (and of course women hehe)
The bible tells that is the through Jesus Christ that you are saved. I believe that. The Holy Spirit has revealed the truth to me- but that does not make me a better person! I still sin, and I have conviction over it- but I want to follow the Lord because I love HIM with all my heart, soul, mind and strength. But I am In NO WAY more deserving at all of His love- I am just a sinner like everyone else- the only difference is, God has saved me and shown me his wonderful grace--through His son Jesus Christ~ I pray many others can come to know the Lord Jesus~

"If you believe someone is going to hell for not accepting Christ, then you believe that you are superior"
Well, I believe that...so by your thinking I'm suppose to think I'm superior?
Do I think I'm superior, No... Blessed by the grace of God, Yes!

we are not superior over anyone we just want you all to know what you are missing. I pray that you will all come to know Jesus and accept him as your savior but God says we are not to force this on anyone you can believe what you choose to believe what you will all we can do is pray for you. God Bless!!!

Some Christians do act as if theya re superior to others who are not but that goes with all people not just religious people. I do not think that they are better because they're Christians, they're not at all. We are all just people and no matter where we end up, we are all going to die sometime.
