Why is Jesus not fair?

Question

People who have sex before marriage, that are gay, that uses drugs, that break the law, that murders, that rapes, and recieves Christ before he dies gets salvation. Whereas, a man who never recieved Christ had sex with only his wife, is not gay, never used drugs, law abiding, humble, gentle, and goes to hell? This is not fair.

I will let you be the judge.

Answer 1

Jesus is the only one who is fair.

He's not likely to send anyone to hell who never really had the opportunity to know him in this life.

If he chooses to save someone in that condition, he'll still do it through the grace he obtained for us by his death on the cross.

Answer 2

What's really weird is that Jesus doesn't do that. That is Christianity that tells you that. And Paul. Jesus said to follow the commandments (the LAW), even expressed that he didn't end the LAW, but fulfilled it by following it. Then he says "follow me". NOT Receive me. He says he is a Light on the path... he is NOT the Path itself. He is a door.... NOT the "House" itself. People overlook these things, mix Paul's writings in with Jesus' words (well, what's accredited to him anyway) and completely miss that nowhere does Jesus himself say that you have to believe in his death and resurrection or worship him in order to gain any kind of salvation.

I have yet to find anywhere in the Bible where it states that one must receive Jesus into their heart in order to be saved. Most of the teachings within Christianity go directly against the "red letter" words that are supposed to be Jesus' words. There isn't a point where Jesus says he's going to die for people's sins... these are parts of Other people's writings. Especially since the Old Test God expressly states that no one can be punished for the sins of another person. And then they try to tell us that God NEVER changes? They need to take another look at what they are telling people because they cause more confusion than any of us outside of Christianity could do.

Answer 3

Goodness sake but someone has really confused you!
FIRST, "fair" is a child's concept of the adult term "just", as in "justice". There is no fair, no one owes you to be fair, no one is trying to be fair except to people who think they "are owed just for existing", and then resenting them for it.

If someone offers you a ticket to the city, and you refuse it, are they to blame if your suburb is overrun by cockroaches and your houses fall into ruin? No. You CHOSE to stay where you are.
This argument is like that presented by New Orleans people who were TOLD to leave the area repeatedly, refused, and then whined and insisted on money for the medical bills.

That's "not fair". It's also not just. Justice is that we get what we choose. I'm not a Christian, haven't joined any religion, but I do know that if the Christians are right, I may very well be missing the bus and they are NOT TO BLAME! I chose this.

You chose as well. We'll see.

Answer 4

Christ reveals himself to some and not others. It is about faith. Love for christ is expressed through ones actions. If one doesn't have a Christ center then their actions aren't for the love of Christ even if it is in retrospect. Repenting when one is on their death bed is an act of faith that frames all former acts, while never accepting life leaves an individuals life to be framed by a love of self or others without the intents of Christian glorification. That is my understanding.

Answer 5

Well first of all, it may seem unfair, but God calls us all to purity and to come to Him. He is the way the truth and the life, and through Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven. Not all people have the chance to ask His forgiveness and get saved before they die. MAny people think they will sin now and be born agagin before they die, however, they may die suddenly and not know it. But mostly, why not just accept His Salvation now and not take a chance to NOT ever get it?

Answer 6

Loving God is the 1st commandment after all. So the person hates God but does his best in doing good works. But He will not be with God for eternity, he has nothing to do with God after all. And how can he get salvation if God is Light and salvation? Salvation is available but the man trusts in himself not in God. So he gets what he chooses. Existence without God in the after life...in hell..if such exists.

Answer 7

If you noticed, it's not the weaknesses of the flesh that get one condemned. It's defects of character and spirit. Basically, one ends up in hell due to their own silliness.
Skepticism, ridiculing, defiance. All these things create guilt in a person, and it's there
own guilt that makes them run away from grace!

Answer 8

It would not be fair if it were true.It is a very distorted view,You can
not murder , rape, etc. etc. then say I accept You Jesus.How can
any one think such a thing.Better would be Jesus will You accept
me, and if you are all that evil i tend to think the answer would be no.I do not know You.

Answer 9

Suppose you have a property and you declare that you wıll allow to these persons for entry but other not.And heaven also a property and God allows to enter ın only to these persons declared.God wıll allow you to reach to that poınts ıf you are lıvıng
sınnless as you saıd.

Answer 10

You can either believe Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior or you can not, the choice is up to you, so yes, it is FAIR. You can't have you're cake and eat too. It's one or the other. Repent and get saved or keep living the life you're living.
