there being a God and Jesus and that if you don't accept Him as your savior you go to hell for eternity? I know everyone has their own right to believe what they want and I don't dispute that. But...what if you are wrong?

Why the hell fire speech again? Why would you portray our motivation for living as being fearful of damnation? If you are going to preach, preach the love of Jesus and the free gift of life He offers.

Oh well. I'll be in Hell with the rest of the people who didn't want to accept spending eternity with a god who would choose a serial killer that truly repented over a pious, loving, helpful woman who hadn't accepted Jesus as her savior. Since Hell is nothing more than being separated from the god's love forever, why would it be something for me to fear, since your god hasn't shown to me that he understands what love IS.
Just because you pose that question isn't going to make me rethink my beliefs. I have FAITH that I'm right. That's why it's called FAITH.
So now, what if you're wrong? Truly, what if you're wrong and I'm right and you get to Summerland, not Heaven, and you look back on this lifetime and realize you didn't learn anything except how to tell other people they were wrong? What will you try to work on your next lifetime that will help you on your spiritual path? Have you thought about that?

If you do not believe the Bible, there is no how you can be convinced. The truth however is that Adam started life in the spiritual in the Garden of Eden in Paradise. He died or was banished a life of flesh and blood in the world Satan rules. The purpose of Jesus Christ is to reconcile the spirit of man with GOD. He has achieved this through His resurrection and He remains the only way to the Father. Correct baptism backed by the NEW Covenant, Matthew 26:17-30, unites you with Jesus Christ in His death and resurrection. Your spirit is therefore reconciled with GOD and you are born of water. Your spirit can now be born of Spirit, John 3:3-8 and be led to do the will of GOD and have the righteousness of GOD and live forever with GOD in the spiritual.
The Mission of Jesus Christ has nothing to do with the flesh. He says his words are spirit, John 6:63. The Bible says that the flesh has nothing to do with eternal life. 1 Corinthians15:50.

This is one thing I am MOST SURE of. Let me turn it around, what if I am right? have you asked yourself that question? If knowing Jesus had nothing to do where we would spend eternity, I would still serve Him on earth, because He is God!! But I am VERY secure in the salvation that He paid for me,

If I am wrong and I just die and nothing happens then I lost nothing.But if I don't believe and I'm wrong I will lose all God has promised. I will keep my faith and believe, Someone created me and everything in the Bible is truth and love and teaches you to live good.What do you have to lose by believing and trusting God.
If you don't what will you lose if it's all true?

Pascal's wager, yes, great, thank you.
The problem with that wager is (1) you cannot feign belief before any all powerful deity; (2) there are other belief systems. What if you go to Heaven for believing in Krishna?

And if you are wrong?
How do I know that Jesus Christ is who he says he is? I took him up on his word, that if I opened the door of my heart, and invited him in, he would come into my life by way of his Spirit.
Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. -Jesus Christ-

If I am wrong that we dont need Jesus to save us, then Im in pretty good shape Id say, unless there is a whole other way we need to get to Heaven than God never told us about. In that case, we're all up a creek.

I can logically refute such existence of a "creator god". I did "what if" a long time ago and agree, through analyzing the logic, with the Buddha's take on it.
