In which case he isn't?
Is that it in a nutshell?

Doesn't this sound like an ER doctor refusing to treat somebody because he/she is unconscious?

Nope. All people will have a chance to accept or reject the Savior.
It's more like an ER doctor not treating a patient because a patient refuses treatment, even though the treatment is gauranteed to be successful and will cost the patient nothing.

Well my boyfriend started going to a psychic healer a couple weeks ago and he thinks it is helping him so he told me to go. I think he's a friggin nutcase thinking that someone can heal him by putting their hands near his feet, but being open minded (ish) I went to the psychic healer. I thought she was a total quack too and I didn't feel one darn bit better when I left. So my boyfriend believes this crazy woman helped him and his mind made him believe that he felt better- I thought it was all a bunch of crap so my mind didn't make me feel better. It made sense as an analogy to me when I startedI don't know if it still does anymore.

This all hinges on actualities, not what anyone thinks. If we are indeed in need of "saving" from something (I'm still not completely sure what) then Jesus is your savior if:
1) The Christian claim of his offer and capacity to fulfill it is correct.
2) You do as the Christian injunction to accept him requires.
If, on the other hand, any one or more of those criteria are not the actual case, then no, he is not, no matter what you or anyone else "thinks"..

That about sums it up.
If you were born right the first time. like I was Then Jesus is just a really intelligent enlightened guy who died a long time ago under circumstances that can in no way be substantiated.
A truly great man buy any measure, but just a man, no more, no less.
Love and blessings Don

Pretty much, yea. There are no fine lines, or many shades of color when it comes to the church. It's always bold lines, or black and white.
Yes there details, but in this case, there are no details lol.
You have to remember......He died for us. He died so that we may walk with him after we die. No matter who we do what to, He'll always be there for us.
You can't be saved without having a savior. That's like having a fire department, with no firemen....isn't it??

According to christianity, regardless of who you are, or what you do, you are guilty of sin, which will keep you from going to heaven.
Somehow by getting tortured and nailed to a tree, Jesus managed to develop the ability to cleanse sinners, and all the sinner has to do is ask Jesus to be their savior (and repent of their sin - and REALLY mean it).
It sounds so ridiculous, and yet it is a commonly held belief throughout much of the western world.

That appears to be about the size of it. Belief perversely enough seems to be more important than actually adhering to his moral teachings.

If you have the awakening, (as I doubt it, if your not christian) Jesus can save you, guide you and be of yourself at all times even with or unto the deceivers of true path.
And as it is, I don't pursue.
It would be as will be unto the end.

Jesus is your savior, whether you think so or not.
