If you guys would stop adding to the question and answer what you are really thinking it would blow you away to see the true thoughts. The question never said christianity is the center of the universe and it isn't.

You guys are the ones responding I'm not pushing anything on anyone. I just asked a question
2007-03-20 19:20:04 · update #4
Again I say I only asked a question I never said I believed. You guys are judging my beliefs and have no idea who i am or what i believe
2007-03-20 19:22:34 · update #5
Where did I say I was born in the west? Quit judging and answer the question.

People just do not know Gods love for them. John 3:16
Which beckons the question why again?
People have not heard.
And again why?
Have not seen Gods love demonstrated.
Why?
Is it we as believers are not able to tap into His love? And share it to the hurting, "the blinded" as suggested.

Jesus accomplished everything that was necessary to fulfill what was written in the Law, the Psalms, and the Prophets, and to reconcile sinful mankind with God.
He didn't pay the full price for everyone's sins.
If he did:
No one could be sent to hell, as their debt would already have been paid.
Death would be no longer, as death is the ultimate penalty for sin.
Baptism would not be necessary, nor would faith, or the church, as all would be "saved" already.
Jesus would be in hell right now, concurrently serving all our sentences, for us.
There would be no reason for Jesus to return at the end of time, as everything would have already been accomplished.
He did what he did once for all, but the whole job is nowhere near being finished.
The present state of the world, and the imminent need for the return of Christ, both testify to that fact.
Look up! Look down! Look around! What do you see?

This is a matter of faith. Just because you believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus does not mean that we all have to. Belief in the Judeo-Christian tradition may come natural to you because you grew up in The West.
However, think about a child born in India or in China. He/she would have been brought up in a completely different belief system. Why would this person jettison his Buddhist or Hindu faith when presented with "evidence" (as you have done) of Jesus' death?
Furthermore, quoting verses from the Chrisitian scriptures will not wash with such a person because he/she cannot understand the religious authority that you are refering to.

I believe Jesus took away the sins of the world but no where in holy Scripture does it say that He bore it on a tree.
Also, Jesus became our Redeemer at that moment. He isn't our Saviour until the Final Judgment Day. He has redeemed us thus far. We have to have faith and do good deeds while we are upon the face of earth. When our souls face Jesus, it is up to our souls to tell Jesus if we will use His redemption to save us or not. Then at that time, He can become our Saviour. But not before then. You and no none are saved yet. Only redeemed.

Then why are so many people still labeled as sinners? Why didn't Jesus just keep all the sin to himself? Oh yeah, he's not real. sorry
