We are all experiencing LIFE, why are so many people afraid they'll perish in hell just for living?

Question

God gave us the gift of life to experience, share and appreciate ... do you honestly believe you need a Savior just because you are living out the Gift God gave you?

Answer 1

It is called mind control. Meaning, the usage of fear in controlling the masses is much easier then to use the sword to enforce the rules and control people.

Answer 2

That's the problem with people who live too much by the book and failed to see the bigger picture the book has to offer. Believers are afraid of hell and death whereas these can never be happened to anyone. Death is an illusion. As spirit, we don't die but simply transferring one vehicle to another until such time we achieve enlightenment. The correct meaning of Hell is physical world. Some Christians acknowledge hell is referred to as graveyard and not something like a fiery inferno.

As with regard to the Savior, I believe there is a grain of truth in the Christian claim but not how the way perceived it. Jesus explicitly command that we all have to carry our own crosses and follow him. In a way, he is a Savior b/c he taught us how to re-established lost communication with God by aligning our will with Him.

Answer 3

Yeah, it doesn't make sense. I'm a Wiccan, and the only rule we have is "an it harm none, do what thou wilt." Most people focus in the second half of the sentence and think it's a bad thing, but the important part is to harm none.

Answer 4

You call living in Sin actually living? Jesus came so that we may have life more abundantly and to save us from sin not from living.

Scripture says the wages of SIN is death.
